Mysterious girl

The news of the Hoang Kim accident spread quickly throughout the city, and the media and national television stations rushed to report it. The giant screens hanging on high-rise buildings temporarily turned off the advertisements and replaced them with picture a female reporter working front hospital gate, after greeting the national audience, the girl worriedly spoke with an emotional voice:

"Yes, viewers, at 7:45 this morning, track and field star Hoang Kim endured a tragic traffic accident. This is an eyewitness. - The female reporter pointed the microphone at the man next to her - Mr., can you tell me the details?"

Millions of viewers were glued to their screens, listening to eyewitnesses describe every detail of the crash:

- Maybe I'm the only one who saw it all. Hoang Kim was driving home quickly, but he suddenly turned around and was hit by a truck…

The female reporter interrupted in surprise:

"How do you know the Hoang Kim is go home?"

The man spoke slowly allowing him to stay on TV longer:

- The scene was not far from Hoang Kim's home. I guess he was going home.

The female reporter asked:

"Did you see how Hoang Kim was injured?"

Eyewitnesses took the opportunity to show off his contribution in helping Hoang Kim:

- The car was on fire, and I and everyone else had to take the victim out of the car, Hoang Kim was in a very miserable state, with scratches all over his body, blood all over his head, was in so much pain that couldn't say a word!

The female reporter was about to end the interview, but eyewitnesses was lingering on the camera and wanted the national audience to not forget his face, so he pretended to remember something important:

- I almost forgot, the first person to help Hoang Kim was a girl. She was worried about Hoang Kim. It looked like she was his girlfriend or at least had a crush on him!

The female reporter secretly rejoiced that she had hunted for the most attractive news. She was stunned:

"Hoang Kim is a world star, every girl admires him, I am also a fan of Hoang Kim, maybe she is just a crazy fan."

Fangirl heard that when Hoang Kim met with the accident, there was a girl with him, so everyone was jealous of this lucky girl. Many girls were furious and pinkeye, claiming to be Hoang Kim's woman:

- I am Hoang Kim's "wife". Who allowed that slut to be with him?

Others howled like crazy:

- Hoang Kim is my "husband", why dare you seduce him, whore!

- If I catch you, your face will be splashed with sulfuric acid, bitch!

Wives all over the world cursed and listened to eyewitnesses:

- Hoang Kim is the dream lover of the female, that girl is gentle and caring towards Hoang Kim. - Eyewitnesses confirm this event more than nails are driven into the post - Hoang Kim was about to faint, and the ambulance had not arrived yet. She cried and mentioned Hoang Kim's mother, asking the national hero regain consciousness!

Fangirl shouts out as eyewitness reveals:

- The girl said she was a relative of Hoang Kim and asked the doctor to put her in the ambulance for spiritual encouragement!

The female reporter frowned and asked the doctor if he agreed, eyewitnesses nodded to confirm:

- She might be waiting outside the emergency room.

The female reporter bowed slightly to thank the eyewitnesses, and the man looked at the camera turning towards the female reporter with regretfully:

"Yeah, the doctors are doing their best to save him. It is not yet clear how serious the injury is. I hope the national hero recovers soon. About girl who might be the girlfriend of Hoang Kim. Who is that girl? Well, we will update the information as soon as possible! "

The explosive news about the mysterious girl was as hot as the Hoang Kim accident. The newspaper media were secretly happy, it was more exciting than picking up gold, they immediately danced with pens and jumped on keyboards to put the headlines on the front page.

From online newspapers to print newspapers, from mainstream to tabloid, all weave a story of a dreamlike, beautiful love but in secret. Set the script and stuff the words in your mouth, but still not satisfied with the large number of views, likes, shares, the vultures dug out and chewed on the stinking corpse of two years ago:

"Yes, ladies and gentlemen and friends, as we reported, this morning, Hoang Kim had an accident and is being treated in hospital. The first person beside him was not his mother, but a girl who claimed to be Hoang Kim relative, who was she? Is it older cousin-sister, younger sister cousin, fangirl, or girlfriend's Hoang Kim? We and you all don't know! If it is true that Hoang Kim has a girlfriend, the Son of the Wind God will surprise the world even more than the countless times he has set athletic feats records. And two years ago, he saved the lives of the queen sisters of the Hexagon country. Everyone knows how the old story ends. And today, it is the turn of the mysterious girl to save Hoang Kim's life. Oh, it seems that heroes have a good relationship with women, especially young and beautiful girls. Okay, ourselves will explore the identity of the girl who accompanied Hoang Kim at the moment of life and death, you all wait and see together!"

Thanh Hang felt her limbs fall off as she watched the news on television, the mother no longer had the brains to pay attention to the vultures pecking at her child's body even though he was not dead.

She stood there motionless for a long time before calling a taxi to take her to Nhan Ai Hospital. The car stopped at the gate, Thanh Hang paid, and ran in. She was surrounded by countless cameras and recorders, and reporters kept taking pictures:

"Do you know Hoang Kim's condition?"

"Is he in danger, madame?"

Many people asked the mysterious girl attentively:

"Madame, Hoang Kim already have girlfriend?"

"Madame, have the two of you been in love for a long time?"

"Who is she, a movie star, a famous singer, or Hoang Kim's colleague?"

The son was not sure whether he was dead or alive, the mother had her head pecked by a vulture. She replied in annoyance:

- My son is not dead!

Thanh Hang walked through a sea of people and entered the hospital. The media could not break the rules and had to disperse and wait.

Thanh Hang ran to the front desk:

- Excuse me, Hoang Kim, where is my son, is he seriously injured?

The girl nodded slightly:

- He is in the first surgery room No.1, aunt turned right and went straight to the glowing room.

Thanh Hang thanked him and ran to the place. She saw a girl waiting on the bench, the girl was staring at the light at the door of the operating room. Thanh Hang came closer. She quickly took off her face mask, stood up and bowed:

- Hi, aunt!

Thanh Hang contemplation looked at the delicate eyebrows and beautiful eyes the girl, she had shoulder-length hair, cross bangs with trimmed the ends of the hair on both sides hug the oval face.

Her rustic appearance is as beautiful as a clarity and pure flower. She doesn't wear makeup like other girls. The simple beauty also comes from the dignity discreet dress of the Eastern standards.

This girl is probably the one dominating the front pages of global newspapers. Thanh Hang didn't know what the relationship between her son and the girl was. Mother didn't rush to talk about this matter it but asked slowly:

- Are you the one who saved my son?

The girl answered shyly:

- Yeah, dear aunt, there were many people who helped him at that time!

Thanh Hang nodded in thanks and sat opposite her. Every few seconds, mother looked up and saw that the light was still on. Thanh Hang lowered her head tiredly, her eyes red from crying.

The mother hoped the door would open but was afraid to hear the doctor's words of comfort. She would lose her child forever and would not be able to watch her child praise her cooking for being better than any party.

The quiet space surrounded the empty mood. Thanh Hang heard countless praises every day, and everyone looked up to her, showed courtesy and flattery.

When her son was in trouble, the mother needed warm human love, but she could not get encouragement from strangers, she didn't know when the that girl had left. Perhaps the girl was busy with housework, or impatient for some reason. A clear and elegant voice echoed in Thanh Hang's hazy thoughts:

- I invite you to drink water!

The operation would take a long time, and she was afraid that the elderly would wait too long, get tired, and lose water easily. Thanh Hang was thirsty, so the girl immediately returned with her precious feelings gave it to mother. In times of distress, a small bottle of water can mean a lot to someone with no one around.

Thanh Hang still doesn't know if the girl is sincere or just wants the media attention. It is wrong to have bad thoughts about people who treat self well. The problem is that because the family has suffered too many tragedies so will be wary. Thanh Hang bowed her head slightly, accepting the girl kindness.

- Thank you!

The girl comforted:

- Don't worry, aunt, your son will be fine!

She is always polite to adults, creating more sympathy than her appearance. Her every move is gentle and considerate, and she is natural in her dealings with others... it can be said that is a model of oriental women. 

Thanh Hang wondering benefactor appeared at the right time, claiming to be a relative, but the mother didn't know who the girl was. Usually the injured are sent to the hospital and the rescuer leaves immediately, but she is still here and shows no signs of leaving. Being stared at, her cheeks felt hot and the girl turned awkwardly towards the surgery room.

The sound of footsteps dispelled the confused air, and a man and a woman approached. The man had messy hair, a thin face, sunken cheeks, and yawned occasionally. He was wearing gray khakis and a wrinkled, faded cowhide leather jacket over a worn shirt. He looked more like a thug than a cop.

Woman over 1.7 meters tall, with black hair partially hidden in a purple hat with a phoenix emblem. She had a slender face, with a lipstick mole showing from her wet dark pink lips. She drew the beginning of the brow in a horizontal shape, slightly darker, and the end curved slightly toward the tail to make the deer eye sharp.

The purple police uniform according the waves of passion and hovers over the sexy body, tight-fitting, tightly wrapped not letting go of the mountain majestic peak. The eye-piercing level spreads down the hip circumference hot, wanting to burn the miniskirt and endless long legs. The rosy skin makes up for the sexy figure, which contrasts sharply with the gloomy scene.

The policewoman didn't mind the unpleasant wrinkled forehead from the antique old woman and ignored the shy expression of the girl. She put her hands on her head in the usual salute:

- I'm Phuong Hoang, a criminal police officer here to investigate the accident!

The male police officer yawned, saluted lazily perfunctorily:

- My name is Kim, and I'm from Investigation team No.3. Let's talk somewhere else to avoid making the operating room noisy.

The police wanted to take the two people to the police station to keep the witness information confidential, but the girl's face had been exposed, so maybe someone secretly took her photo. The police click tongue, took the two people to room far away surgery room.

Kim closed the room, drew the curtains, turned on the recorder, and opened the notebook to write down the questions and answers, Phuong Hoang asked about the situation of Hoang Kim. Thanh Hang nodded to express her gratitude and briefly told her, Phuong Hoang asked the girl:

- First, could you please tell me your name and age?

- I'm Hanna Izumi, 19 years old.

The three of them looked at Hanna unexpectedly. The most surprised was Thanh Hang, unexpected who was not from Prehistoric country. Phuong Hoang asked:

- Are you from The Sun country?

Hanna nodded in confirmation. Phuong Hoang said the main topic:

- Please describe the specific details of the accident.

Thanh Hang swallowed every word until the truck hit the car, she found many suspicious points. Hoang Kim never drove recklessly. Her son must have been attacked mentally. Thanh Hang didn't believe that son turned the car was hit immediately.

Ordinary days can be coincidental. From last night till now, unusual things have been happening at home, she couldn't believe it was just an accident, but Thanh Hang had no evidence to expose the most suspicious person.

Even if there was evidence, she had to conceal it, lest her descendants die with the mastermind. Thanh Hang was so depressed that she burst into tears, holding the chair tightly until her nails popped out. Phuong Hoang frowned and asked:

- What's wrong with you?

Thanh Hang trembled all over, and blood dripped from her fingers onto the ground. Hanna ran frantically to find bandage. The police suspiciously observe Thanh Hang. The two policemen looked at each other, Kim saw the glittering deer's eyes suddenly brighten, Phuong Hoang found that owl had woken up from his sleepiness. Whenever they found new clues, two people would be so excited.

Phuong Hoang waited for Hanna to finish first aid before she calmed the unstable woman's mind:

- It seems that you know the clues of the case, but you dare not speak out, don't be afraid, the police will protect you family and witnesses!

Hanna looked at Thanh Hang in surprise. The mother thanked the girl for taking care of her. Hanna bowed slightly in response, and heard Thanh Hang shake her head and say to the police:

- You two are too sensitive. I want to catch the person who caused the accident more than anyone else, why do want to hide it?

Thanh Hang vehemently denied it. The police were unable to compel her, so Phuong Hoang had to get more information from Hanna:

- Did you see the color or any other features of the truck?

Hanna closed her eyes and recalled:

- The car had no license plate or brand, and the entire car was wrapped in thick canvas.

Kim and Phuong Hoang surprised at the girl's quick reaction. The situation happened very suddenly, the truck escaped very fast, but Hanna still had time to observe the key points.

The two deductive that the perpetrator of the accident carefully used a truck without a license plate or brand, fully covered with canvas, and hit the Hoang Kim. This is not surprisingly.

The strange thing is that there were no accidents early or late, on the day the Hoang Kim incident happened, there were only two employees left in the police station because they had to concentrate manpower in recent days to investigate a serious transnational case.

People in this profession need to be skeptical and of course cannot believe such coincidences, as if the perpetrator knew the future and ambushed his prey.

What was even more coincidental was that just half an hour before his accident, street camera malfunctioned, and at the same time, a number of car accidents, scuffles, and fights occurred at locations far away from the scene of the Hoang Kim incident. Traffic police must come to resolve violations.

The area where the Hoang Kim accident occurred is temporarily completely vacant, the perpetrator enough time to commit the crime, escape to a deserted place, dispose of the evidence, and perhaps the vehicle used to commit the crime was a sturdy and solid vehicle but as easy to disassemble as a Formula One car.

Thanh Hang's strange behavior strengthens the analysis that there is a secret to the accident. But she refused to tell the truth and the police were forced to investigate in another way.

Kim wrote quickly, dark-eyed owl look Hanna:

- What is your relationship with Hoang Kim?

Thanh Hang wanted to ask, but not convenient able to speak. Hanna always behaved politely, disinfected, bandaged, every gentle movement was like Thanh Hang was a relative. The police asked a difficult question which was actually very easy, just need answer was "friend", she blushed again.

Hanna was too embarrassed because to pose as Hoang Kim's relative, or afraid of the crowd eavesdropping, they started whispering, taking pictures and recording clips through the gaps in the curtains that were not fully closed. Thanh Hang leaned towards the subtle reasons. The agile and nimble girl now stuttered, and Thanh Hang helped her speak:

- She is my son's friend!

Owl looked carefully:

- Why are you blushing so hesitantly?

The whispering made Phuong Hoang and Kim angry. A few minutes ago, Kim forbade anyone to interrupt. The doctor hummed but came anyway, and the patients gathered to put pressure on the witnesses.

Phuong Hoang was frustrated and forced them to delete all photos, conversations and sneaky clips. Many people argued back:

- My phone, I have rights!

Phuong Hoang smiled faintly:

- Do you like talking about law with the police? - She swept her cold, sharp eyes over everyone - Taking photos without permission and eavesdropping are violations of civil rights. She was a witness to the accident, had the right to privacy. - She yelled to scare the gossip group - If you don't delete it, and leave immediately, I will arrest you all for obstructing the performance of official duties!

Phuong Hoang was like a murderous demon, forcing everyone to delete everything before being allowed to leave, the atmosphere eased a little, and Kim probed with another question:

- Aunt said Hanna was son's friend. The media wrote that she claimed to be a relative of Hoang Kim. I don't understand this?

Thanh Hang noticed that Hanna blushed with embarrassment whenever she asked about Hoang Kim. Hoang Kim had never hidden anything from her mother, including love between men and women.

She remembered that her son had not said he was dating anyone. Maybe Hanna had a crush on Hoang Kim. Her son was a celebrity, so it was not strange girls to have a crush on him, what was surprising was Hanna had given her sense closeness for long time.

Thanh Hang thought about it for a moment and laughed at herself. It was first time meeting Hanna and she was not sure about the girl's identity and personality.

The mother said to herself that she was too sentimental because the girl saved her son so had feelings for Hanna. Thanh Hang didn't want her benefactor to be troubled, so she retorted to Kim:

- I think the police should know more about newspapers than anyone else? - Thanh Hang spoke in a tone to chase the guests away - You all trust the media more than I do, go ask them, why are you interrogating us?

Thanh Hang vented her resentment that she had suppressed all night on those who liked to pry:

- I feel like I am being interrogated. We are not criminals, and you are asking such unpleasant questions!

Thanh Hang rescued Hanna twice, and she smiled gratefully at her aunt, politely turning into the highest respect, Thanh Hang's tough attitude made Hanna more confident:

- The doctor said Hoang Kim was on the verge of death and he needed the spiritual encouragement of his relatives to restore his will to live, I had to pretend to be relatives, and the doctor let me get in the car. Aunt said I was Hoang Kim's friend because she wanted to help me out.

Hanna turned to Thanh Hang and bowed according to etiquette:

- Thank you and sorry aunt!

Hanna is always courteous and polite in every situation. Mother feels that the girl was brought up in a strict educational environment. She wasn't sentimental but perhaps too suspicious. Thanh Hang smiled softly, feeling deeply embarrassed for doubting Hanna.

- Aunt must thank and apologize you! You saved Hoang Kim, and got into trouble!

Hanna's heart was filled with joy when she heard Thanh Hang's intimate address. She replied with a smile, Thanh Hang turned away avoiding Hanna's face turned deep red.

- We have nothing to say. - Thanh Hang's harsh voice - You two go back, I'm so tired!

Phuong Hoang handed the notebook to Hanna:

- If this is a attempted murder case, we need the phone number and address for witness protection!

Hanna wrote in her notebook without hesitation. The police said goodbye, giving them both a quiet space. She and Hanna returned to the operating room.

Thanh Hang chatted with Hanna to calm herself down and avoid going crazy due to sadness.

- Have you been waiting since this morning?

Thanh Hang was deliberately rude to test Hanna sincerity or whether she was pretending to be kind. Hanna didn't react or feel sad. She calmly answered the question:

- Yeah, dear aunt, I am waiting for the results of the surgery!

Thanh Hang increase the difficulty:

- Why do you care so much about my son?

Thanh Hang uses the measurement of human heart to test Hanna's thoughts and her self-esteem. Hanna is a little melancholy, and hidden deep in her sadness is... narcissistic[1].

Thanh Hang's intuition told her that Hanna's narcissistic was not because of the hurt dignity. Mother shyly looked up at the lights in the surgery room. The ringing cell phone broke the silence. Hanna picked up the phone and heard her friend's voice urging:

"Where are you? It's time for the job interview!"

She was startled and looked at the clock. Almost 9 a.m. After 20 minutes, the company will conduct an interview. Being so busy worrying about the Hoang Kim, she forgot about an important appointment today, Hanna estimated that it would take 5 minutes by taxi to the hospital and 10 minutes to drive to the company, so she still had 5 minutes.

The problem is that she has to find a way to escape from a bunch of reporters. Hanna wears a face mask, if she is surrounded by the media, she say going to hospital to visit family. After thinking it over, Hanna said to her bestie:

- I'll be there right now!

Hanna hung up her smartphone and exchanged phone numbers with Thanh Hang, after a series of tragedies, Thanh Hang found comfort, and mother was overwhelmed with emotions, listening to Hanna say:

- I have to leave in a hurry. Goodbye, aunt!

Thanh Hang was not finished with disappointment, and the girl ambiguous words made mother for thought:

- Time will answer aunt's question!

Thanh Hang was lost in thought as he watched the little figure disappear from his sight. Everyone has their own life. Hanna has developed feelings for Hoang Kim, but she cannot always be with him. The mother still couldn't withstand to leave Hanna. She didn't know if she would have the chance to see that lovely and gentle little girl again. Only time could answer this question.

Notes:

narcissistic in the Vietnamese sense: to express dislike, unhappiness, sadness, when someone says something hurtful or judgmental to you.
