Kyu Hmu - Na Thai Village

Competition for a place is fierce.

A small blue jeep was driving along Upper Pansodan Road, east of Aung San Stadium, towards Kwun Chan Station, at a speed of about 30 miles per hour.

There were only two men in the jeep. The driver, who was in his 40s, was wearing a blue poplin long-sleeved shirt with a long-sleeved cotton loincloth around his waist. The man next to him was about 25 years old and had fair skin. He was wearing a traditional red pinafore and a long-sleeved Inlay silk loincloth with a blue stripe.

When they reached the entrance to the station, the jeep turned into the station and stopped at the side where the special class passengers were supposed to enter.

When the car stopped, a young man wearing a red-and-white shirt got out of the car, dragging a stretcher from behind the jeep.

It was past 8pm, so the entire station was brightly lit. After getting off the bus, the young man looked at the watch on his left wrist in the light, then said to the old man driving the bus.

"It's already eight hours and twenty minutes, uncle, the train is just a little while away."

"It's not that bad, but I'm not sure if it's going to be good, I had to drive the car too fast. Okay... let's go..."

"Yes... I'll go, take care of my mother too, uncle. The illness is improving, but I'm still not very strong. I have to go because I don't have to, and my hair is a bit tight." :: - The driver was talking with a sad face in the middle of the road.

"For your mother, rest assured, Uncle is responsible. Just go straight to where you need to go. Even now, you are two weeks behind schedule. I'm afraid it will affect your work."

"It won't affect my work. But I have to go because I can't be in the village. Now... I'll go, uncle."

"Far away... I'll go, but I'm sure your mother will be fine..."

After saying that, the young man's uncle drove away in the jeep. The young man entered the station, pulling the bed by the hand.

The Dagon Lwin train, about to depart for Shwe Mann, was packed with passengers and stopped at platform number one.

. The young man looked at the special cars he was to ride in one by one, and when he reached the one he was to ride in, he got on the train. The car he was to board was a special car with a sleeping compartment. He took out his ID card from his bag and looked for the room number, and saw that the room he was to ride in was a double room. The other rooms were quadruple rooms. When he saw that it was a double room, he smiled with satisfaction. Then he opened the door of the room and entered. There was a bed and a leather box in the woman's hand.

"Hey... whose things are on my bed? Look at the floor, what's the room number?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man pushed the things on the bed aside and made his bed. Then he lay down on the bed, where he had been lying all day.

He was lying on the floor, stretching out. At that moment, a woman in her twenties, dressed in a modern style, and a man in his thirties, dressed in Western style, entered the room.

"Hmm... how did this happen?"

The young woman asked in surprise as she looked at the young man lying on the bed and his belongings piled up next to him.

However, the young man didn't say anything, just lay on his back on the bed and stared.

"You're in the wrong room here. This is my room," the young woman said sharply in an angry voice.

"I... I'm in the wrong room, right? Rest assured, I'm not wrong. You're the one who's wrong."

Hearing the young man's words, the young woman's anger level rose even higher.

"Don't be so one-sided, sir. I'm not wrong. You're wrong. Here, my number is F(F)Wan. This room number is the same. So, please remove it."

At the end of the young woman's speech, the man wearing Western clothing also spoke.

"That's right, I can show you tangible proof here. It would be good if you could remove it."

Then the young man stood up abruptly from his lying position and, taking out a train ticket from his pocket, replied.

"Don't think you have anything to prove. Look at my number too."

When the young man handed it over, a man dressed in Western clothing took it, read it, and then handed it back.

"His number is also here, Awin. It's definitely like the clerk who wrote the signature made a mistake," the man turned to the young woman and told her.

"The wind"

"Oh... if you know this is wrong, go and tell the railway department. I'm so embarrassed."

The young man replied and sat down on his bed.

"Oh my... you're still a bit of a slob, aren't you? What's the matter? You two need to go to the railway department and sort this out."

The young woman said to the young man with a displeased look on her face.

"It's not your place. It's probably wrong, but I've already got a place. You can go yourself."

"You're welcome, Colonel. As you said, this place was taken by me before you came, so if you want to take it away, you'll have to take it away."

"I don't know about that. You weren't here when I arrived in this room, so no matter how early you arrived in this room, it's no longer illegal."

“Ha... Don’t say that, my friend. There was no one there, but we left our belongings. We had a matter to attend to and we went out for a while. As far as I know, the special class sleeping quarters are for women and men, so this matter will have to be resolved by going to the railway department and asking for help.”

The young woman and the young man who came with her entered and acted as teachers.

"This is none of my business. The railway is the business of the authorities. My business is to sleep soundly in this bed."

As they were talking, they all heard the train signal to depart.

"Hey... the train is about to leave, how do I handle this?"

The young woman's voice was concerned.

The young woman was furious at the handsome young man who was so close to her.

"How should I do it, I'll do it the same way."

"Hmm... I'll just ride with him in this room all night, okay?"

Hearing the voice with wide eyes and a sly look, the young man who was sitting on the bed stood up and bowed to the man in Western clothing.

“Here, my friend, I am a son of a good father and mother, born of a pure Burmese father and mother. Don’t worry about your woman. When it comes to morality, those of us who wear traditional clothes are safer than those of you, the captains of the Burmese.”

"Ha... Are you insulting me? What do you think of me as a fool..."

The man seemed angry and was about to attack the young man, but the young woman intervened and stopped him.

"Oh... Ko Ko Than, don't be a nuisance."

"Let it be, let it go. I am a friend to the working class, but an enemy to the upper class, the uneducated. Come on... if you want to try it out for a while, let's have a quick chat before the train leaves, Sonny Liston..."

The young man challenged, raising his arms and shoulders in defiance. At that, the man snorted and left. The train was only seconds away from leaving.

"Come on... Ko Ko Than is also coming back," the young woman told the man to return.

"Yes, I'll go back. Where will Awin sleep?"

“I’ll sleep in this room, there are only two bunk beds in this room. Now… I’ll just go back. Don’t worry about Awin, I can protect Awin from getting hurt. If he makes a fuss, I’ll pull the emergency cord. Don’t worry, good night… Ko Than.”

At that time, the train was already late, so it slowly started to leave the station. The man got off the train with a nervous expression and said to the young woman...

“Good night, Awin, take care of everything.”

"With that, I was left standing on the platform of the station. The train was also gaining speed, so it was moving more smoothly."

The young woman returned to the room, turned over in bed, and looked at the young man reading a novel with a heartbroken face. She gathered her things and prepared to climb onto the bunk bed upstairs where the young man was sleeping...

"Hey, hey... Auntie, what are you doing here?" The young woman stopped before she could even get up and spoke back to the young man.

“Why don't you sleep on the bunk above?” “Well... you'll sleep on top of me.” “Yes, you won't give up your place. So, there you have it.

"Ha... What good is this? If you are above me, I will be humiliated. You are a woman. A woman is supposed to be below a man."

The young woman took the young man's words to mean something, and her expression changed. "Sir, watch your words, don't be so rude."

"Venerable sir... please forgive me, what rude thing did I say to your mother? You are a woman, you are inferior."

"Sir... can you say that again..."

“Oh, my... I’m sorry, you’re misinterpreting what I said. I’m just saying. Have you ever been to Kyaikthiyo Pagoda?”

"What are you curious about? I don't care if you come or not."

"Wait, you're being stubborn and impatient. I'm asking you to give me a practical example of the problem of male-female hierarchy."

“So what does this have to do with Kyaikthiyo Pagoda?”

“Of course, if you’ve ever bathed in the big pond in Kyaik Htiyo, you’ll understand what I’m saying. When you bathe in the big pond, the men bathe from above. The women bathe from below, right?”

"That's a big pond over there, this is a train compartment, it doesn't matter. Just ride wherever you like."

The young woman prepared to climb up again. "Ha... you're being stubborn. You're just saying that because you're afraid of making Awi Si fall over." "Wow... you've fooled people with Awi Si again."

"It's not about being a prostitute. If you are a woman who respects and believes in Buddhism, you should be afraid of the devil and the devil's hell."

"Then please give me a place. I can't stay up all night."

The young woman said the right thing, so the young man had to give in. "Okay, I'll take it off. Now... come on."

The young man rolled up his bed sheets and gave the young woman a place to sleep. The young man went up to the upper bunk and spread out the sheets. The train was driving along, doing its duty, and making a noise.

"Here, big sister, I have a lighter left, please give it to me," the young man said to the young woman, leaning down from the upper bunk. The young woman, who was lying on her back on the lower bunk and about to read, was startled by the young man's voice......Mg Yoe .Com
