Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]2 TN picked up the folded paper three sentences then her hand started shaking Jack two TN's voice came out flat she's gone Jack walked over fast he took the paper from her hand the handwriting was small careful the way a person writes when they have practiced the sentences in their head for hours before putting pen to page to Jack and to Tien I will never forget what you did for me I am sorry for leaving without saying goodbye but I did not have the courage to say it to your faces whatever happens in the future I will always remember you both me Jack folded the paper back up he looked at the empty chair where Lei had been sitting 20 minutes earlier the basket of corn was still there the cup of water 2 TN had set down for her was still half full her sandals were gone from the door she left on foot Jack said her village is more than 10 km away she doesn't know the roads she has never been outside the farm except to the market with me two t n grabbed her phone she's pregnant she's 7 months she cannot walk 10 km in this heat to Tian Jack was already at the truck get in now we start from the alley she can't have gotten far if you've been with let from the beginning type find her in the comments right now I wanna know who's still walking this road with her because by the end of this video none of us are going to be the same that morning three hours earlier Tutien had been sitting at the breakfast table with let the light was soft the dog Miu was sleeping under the table Lei had been quiet but not unusually so she had asked to Tien for her phone number written it on a folded piece of paper tucked it into the inside of her sleeve to Tien had not thought twice about it she had given Lei her own number too written it clearly with both digits said if anything happens you call me do you understand and lay had nodded now looking back to t N remembered something the way let had not eaten her breakfast that morning the way let had folded her cardigan into the bag at the bottom folded it too neatly the way you fold something you are putting away forever not the way you fold for an afternoon trip the way lay had said thank you sister three times instead of two 2 Tian had missed it all of it while she was preparing the basket and thinking about which loofah fields to harvest from let had been quietly saying goodbye to every room of the farm Jack drove the truck fast down the alley the wind was hot two TN sat in the passenger seat with her phone in her lap dialing Lay's number over and over the number was not registered lay had a phone Jack had bought it for her two weeks ago but lay had left it on the kitchen table beside the goodbye letter TTN had not noticed that either until just now stop TTN said Jack stop the truck that woman selling cigarettes Jack pulled over TTN rolled down the window excuse me Chi we're looking for someone a pregnant girl about 25 wearing a green and purple plaid scarf on her head carrying a small bag did she walk past here the woman thought for a moment yes she did walking slowly maybe an hour ago she asked me how far it was to trunk truck Hamlet 4 Jack's hand tightened on the steering wheel thank you Chi he drove the truck went up the slope at the end of the village the road narrowed the asphalt ended from here it was packed dirt and rice fields are on both sides the sun was directly overhead now 10 kilometers to Tien said quietly she thinks she can walk 10 kilometers in this sun in her condition she thinks she can't ask us for one more thing Jack 2 t n turned to him I missed it this morning I missed every single sign I was thinking about the loofah harvest I was thinking about whether we should give her the phone numbers in writing I missed her Jack reached over and put his hand on her knee without taking his eyes off the road you did not miss her too teen she did not let herself be seen that is different they drove for another 15 minutes the rice fields rolled past on both sides then on a bend in the road two tians saw her a small figure in a green and purple plaid scarf walking on the dirt shoulder one hand cradling her belly the other carrying a small cloth bag she was walking very slowly she was favouring her right foot from the back in the heat she looked like a person who was already at the limit of what her body could do stop Tutien said Jack stopped the truck he left the engine running 2 TN got out and walked toward lay lay did not turn she had not heard them lay lay turned her face was red her lips were pale there was a damp patch at the back of her shirt where she had been sweating through her eyes filled the moment she saw TTN sister TTN let why I'm sorry Lay's voice was so quiet TTN had to step closer to hear I'm sorry I saw how busy you were I saw how much you and Ain Jack have already given me I did not want to be one more thing I thought if I just walked I could get home myself and then you wouldn't have to lay stop 2 TN put both hands on Lay's shoulders look at me look at me you are not a burden whatever is in your head right now it is not true we had already booked a car we were going to drive you we had planned for this since this morning lay closed her eyes a tear slid down through the dust on her cheek she whispered then why because I am tired of being the kind of person who needs help sister just for one day I wanted to be the kind of person who could walk home on her own feet Tutien did not have an answer for that she wrapped both arms around LED she held her there at the side of the dirt road in the middle of the rice fields in the middle of the heat and did not let go for a long time Jack came up behind them quietly he did not say anything he just took Lay's bag from her shoulder the way he had taken her into the truck that day in the hospital the way a brother takes things from a sister without making it a thing come on he said gently let's go there is a car waiting at the bottom of the hill the taxi driver did not ask any questions he could see what kind of trip this was Jack sat in the front passenger seat two tians sat in the back beside let holding her hand let leaned her head against the window for the first 10 minutes and did not speak then halfway through the trip she opened her eyes sister yes if today does not go well if my mother in law turns me away again if my husband let stop we are going in with you both of us Jack and I will not leave that gate until we know you are safe lay squeezed to Tien's hand she did not cry she had used up all her crying earlier but her fingers were cold when the taxi turned into Hamlet 4 of Trunk Truck Jack told the driver to stop at the end of the lane they got out Jack paid the driver lay stood at the corner of the lane and looked toward her mother in law's house her feet did not move you don't have to Tutien said quietly lay we can turn around right now we can go home you can stay with us as long as you need let shook her head no sister if I do not face this today I will never face it let's go they walked up to the gate together Jack went first he knocked once a voice from inside sharp irritated who is it my son is sleeping the door opened a woman in her late 50s stood there the moment she saw lay behind Jack her face changed not toward joy not toward relief toward something harder you again Nam's mother's eyes moved from lay to Tutien to Jack and who are these people why are you bringing strangers to my door bah Jack kept his voice low and even please can we sit and talk for a moment we are just friends of lays we met her on the road a few days ago she was not well we took her in to recover the doctor checked her she is weak she needs care we brought her home today so your family could take her back Nam's mother stood very still in the doorway her face moved through several expressions before settling on one too t N could not quite read come in she said finally sit let get the chairs from the back my son is drunk he's asleep 2 TN and Jack stepped into the courtyard Lei walked past her mother in law without looking at her and went to the back to get the chairs two TN noticed that Lei did not seem to know where things were anymore she opened the wrong door then the right one like a person who had been gone long enough to forget the rooms of her own home when they were seated Nam's mother poured tea her hands were steady but her eyes never settled she watched Jack the whole time she did not look at Lei even once my son has been looking for her she said for days we did not throw her out she left BA 2 TN spoke gently we understand we are not here to accuse anyone we just want to make sure lay has somewhere safe to give birth and somewhere to raise her child my grandchild will be raised here in this family Nam's mother said this without looking at lay whatever lay thinks she has been through she has a husband she has a home the child has a father we will take care of her a door opened at the back of the house a man stepped out blinking his hair messy from sleeping Nam his eyes were red there was alcohol on his breath even from across the courtyard mom what's the noise your wife is home Son Nam blinked he looked at Lei his face did not change oh he said you came back that was all Lei did not answer Jack stood up on Nam we have brought your wife home the doctor says she needs rest and proper nutrition she is 7 months along please take good care of her Nam scratched his head yes thank you mom will handle it he walked back into the house the door closed behind him Tutien watched the door for a long moment there was a heaviness in her chest she could not name Nam's mother turned to Jack thank you for bringing her what is your name what do you do you must have a lot of money to be hiring taxis like this I'm an ordinary man BA just helping where I can hmm her eyes were sharp well we thank you lay walk them out lay stood up she walked 2 TN and Jack to the gate outside on the dusty road 2 TN took both of Lay's hands lay listen to me you have our phone numbers both of them if anything anything happens you call I don't care what time it is I don't care what the reason is you call do you hear me yes sister and this tutien pressed something into Lay's palm a folded envelope some money from the market today keep it hidden do not tell them you have it it is for emergencies for you and the baby lay tried to refuse 2 TN closed lay's fingers around the envelope I will not take no take it lay nodded she slipped the envelope into the inside of her cardigan Jack squeezed Lay's shoulder take care of yourself m we will visit soon they turned and walked toward the taxi 2 TN glanced back once through the open gate she saw Nam's mother pull lay aside by the elbow Nam's mother leaned close to Lay's ear she whispered something Tutien could not hear Lay's face did not move but her hand tightened on the envelope inside her cardigan Tutien turned back she did not say anything to Jack she had not been sure of what she saw that evening at the farm the sunset differently Jack and two TN ate dinner without speaking much the third chair at the table stayed empty 2 TN washed the dishes slowly Jack went out on the porch with his phone at 9:00 2 TN called Lay's number the phone rang nobody answered she called again the same the third time the call went straight to voicemail the phone had been turned off two t N sat down on the kitchen step her phone vibrated in her hand a new message not from Les number from a number two t N did not recognize she opened it four words dunggoi nua co don't call her anymore sister two t N stood up she walked out to the porch Jack was sitting on the step his phone open the screen casting blue light on his face he was looking at the photograph of his father with the young lay Jack 2 t N said quietly look at this she showed him the message Jack read it he stared at it for a long time then he looked up at his wife two t n whose number is this I don't know this is not Nam's number this is not his mother's number I know Jack stood up he walked to the railing of the porch he looked out into the dark farm the cicadas were loud somewhere a dog was barking two tin Jack said when Lay's mother in law pulled her aside at the gate today did you see what she whispered no neither did I but Lay's face changed I saw it through the rear view mirror as we drove away the cicadas were very loud we are going back Jack said tomorrow morning early before they wake up if you are still here at the end of this and I know it has been heavy do me one last thing subscribe and turn on the bell because tomorrow morning Jack and two TN are going back to that house and what they find when they get there none of us are ready for it I will see you there
