Khin Hnin Yu - Theeksu Phaya Ma Byay

"What is your relationship with Doctor Min Shwe Zan?"

An old man who was ready to welcome him under the elephant's entrance asked.

“My name is Dr. Min Shwe Zan, sir.” Min Shwe Zan introduced himself. The man changed into a respectful gesture.

“My name is U Kyi Myaing, and this is my wife, Ma Aye Mya. We are looking after the big house. Dr. Ohn Maung told me about it last week, but I have been thinking about it for a long time because it is Dr. Min Shwe Zan... Maung Yin is still young. I think he is even younger than Dr. Ohn Maung.”

"Yes, sir."

"Here's the key. Do you still need to show us the house?"

“Come with me, sir. I am a lone worker. I only have one student, Thetpe, who drives the car, and his wife. Maung Thetpe’s wife cooks the food.”

"So, do we still have to clean the back yard for the couple to live in? I already cleaned all the rooms in the big house last week."

Min Shwe Zan thought for a moment.

“I don’t think so, sir. I want them to stay in the house with me. They will come with their belongings, U Kyi Myaing will open the door and show them around. The house is still green. Dr. Ohn Maung said he liked it, so I didn’t come to see it in advance. The house is even more spacious than I would have liked. Even from the outside, I like the house, sir.”

U Kyi Myaing opened the front door and showed us the lower floor first. The lower floor had a living room, a dining room, and two bedrooms. Although it was built of brick, the floors were made of planks and planks. The upper floor was covered with planks and covered with bricks. However, it seemed to have been renovated with teak wood. There was no sign of decay or old age. The upper floor had a large entrance hall in the front and four bedrooms on three sides, with wide verandas. At first glance, the house looked like an old nobleman’s house. However, the private bathroom, the toilet, and the layout of the rooms inside were modern and clean.

"I think the people who moved in first are quite a few people."

He asked, opening the glass window of the large front hall.

"But we're not tenants, our boss lives there herself. She's alone."

"He's alone in such a big house."

The Queen Mother of the Supreme Being

Min Shwe Zan asked in surprise.

“That’s right, brother, in the days of their grandparents, the house and the people were one. Now, he has a nurse to take care of him. The cook and the cleaner are downstairs. The black couple who drive the car are with us. For some reason, he doesn’t live in this house, so he doesn’t intend to rent it out.”

“Yes”

“The salary I get from Maung Rin is for renovating this big house.”

U Kyi Myaing's story clearly shows that his landlord was not financially stable enough to rent out this large house.

"Yes, sir, the house prices are good these days. If you have a big house with a big yard and a big front yard, it would be easy to rent a house for two thousand a month."

He said as he looked out the window at the vast expanse of green grass.

"That's right, sir. I have one thing to apologize to the teacher. I like the grass because it's so wide. Do you see the white bench for two at the end of this grass, right next to the fence?"

U Kyi Myaing pointed to the wooden bench.

"Yes, I see you."
