Hanoi woman meets her soulmate in quarantine camp<\/h2>\n
\n

Love is a fickle thing indeed. Some people spend years chasing after the wrong person, only to realize the right one was next to them all along. Others run into their soulmate in the most random of circumstances.<\/p>\n

The case of a woman from Hanoi falls into the latter category. When she came back from overseas and served her mandatory 2-week quarantine period at a medical facility, she probably didn\u2019t think that one of its staff members would later become her husband<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how their love story came to fruition.<\/p>\n

Her would-be husband was working at her quarantine facility<\/h3>\n

Ph\u01b0\u01a1ng Linh, from Hanoi, was a Vietnamese student studying overseas in Australia. In July 2020, she came back to Vietnam to seek shelter from the COVID-19 pandemic. In accordance with the government\u2019s COVID-19 prevention protocols, she had to spend two weeks in quarantine at a medical center in the southern province of B\u00ecnh D\u01b0\u01a1ng before she could go home.<\/p>\n

It was there that she met Ho\u00e0ng H\u1ea3i, the man who would go on to become her husband. At the time, he was a medical worker tasked with taking care of Linh and several others.<\/p>\n

As Zing News<\/a><\/em> reported, Linh felt drawn to H\u1ea3i\u2019s enthusiasm and considerate attitude toward patients. Meanwhile, H\u1ea3i shared that his most memorable impression of Linh during her quarantine period was when she borrowed a knife from him to peel fruits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I asked for the knife back, she joked that she had swallowed it. It was quirky remarks like these that helped ease my exhaustion from working,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, due to H\u1ea3i\u2019s busy schedule and the fact that everyone had to minimize contact in the quarantine facility to reduce infection risks, the two did not have many chances to talk.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, when Linh left the camp to return to her home on the other side of the country, she and H\u1ea3i were able to exchange phone numbers. They stayed in touch, and thus began a budding love story.<\/p>\n

\n

They got married just 6 months later<\/h3>\n

Despite the long distance separating them, Linh and H\u1ea3i talked over the phone often and came to realize they had a lot in common, eventually falling in love with one another.<\/p>\n

Due to the nature of his job, H\u1ea3i rarely had the time to visit his girlfriend in Hanoi. Instead, it was Linh who regularly came to B\u00ecnh D\u01b0\u01a1ng to meet him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so grateful for her understanding,\u201d H\u1ea3i told Zing News<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Last March, just 6 months after their fateful first encounter, the two officially tied the knot, marking a happy ending to their incredible journey and the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.<\/p>\n
