Nyein Kyaw - As much as you want

[ 1 ]

I realized the strength of my heart that I had found love. However, that confidence has collapsed this evening.

He looked at Pyone Nwe sitting across from him. He saw Win Win Shein in his mind. He looked at the person he had just recognized as Pyone Nwe's aunt. He thought of Win Win Shein in his mind. He looked at the person he had just recognized as Pung Nwe's sister. He saw Win Win Shein in his mind. Win Win Shein was not nearby. But he thought he was. Pyone Nwe was at hand. But he thought he was far away. His senses were mixed. They were facing each other so much that they seemed to be boiling.

"What good is it to stay like this when you're in this situation? You're a girl from Pyone. It's more painful. Wouldn't it be bad if the environment became a source of trouble? It's been a long time since you've heard from me. I've been busy with things, so I've been delaying coming to tell Pyone. So I came today. As I heard, I'm not here to blame you both. Now that you've told me, I know your feelings and your situation. There's nothing to disagree with. But..." But then he stopped. His heart beat faster. The tightness in his heart had reached its peak. He felt his whole body heat up.

The worst pain in his heart was rising to its highest point. His depressed mood was unstoppable. He felt as if he was sinking deeper and deeper. The words he was about to say had evaporated on his tongue, and he didn't know if they had disappeared.

"You two are neither husband and wife nor girlfriend. As an aunt, I don't want to blame my niece at this stage. I just want you to get married as soon as possible."

Pyone Nwe's sister nodded and moved her eyes away from her aunt. She looked at him intently. Then

“My opinion is that informing Maung Aung Thit’s parents is also a good idea. I want to get him married right now. This is…”

Here, he paused and looked at Pyone Nwe. Pyone Nwe lowered her blushing face. She sighed heavily. I just... I just started to speak. The trembling words were drowned out by Pyone Nwe's high-pitched voice.

“Aye.. I feel the same way. I got married this evening with a couple of elders from the neighborhood, myself, and some members of the People’s Council. As for the reception, we discussed it between the two elders and arranged it. Pyone Nwe.. How do you feel, Nwe...”

Pyone Nwe lowered her head and said, "It's a joke." A feeling exploded inside her. She looked at Pyone Nwe. The lips that wanted to deny that it was impossible couldn't move. The lips that wanted to say, "Let's talk to my parents and make arrangements," were lifeless.

“Sweetheart... Tell your aunts, sisters, and relatives and get married, and that’s it. I’m still surrounded by friends and family. My brothers, grandmothers, uncles, and cousins ​​are still smiling. If we love each other, we’ll be able to get together and have a good time. I’ve only seen this the day I woke up because I heard the sound of the conversation. I’m not saying this because I don’t trust Maung Thit Aung... I’m not saying that I want to be remembered. My aunt is saying what should be done. She’s the only girl. Let’s leave it at that... So, in the evening, we’ll do what I’ve just said. Call the elders of the ward and sign the contract, and treat them with tea and cake.”

An unexpected situation suddenly changed. I never thought it would happen like this. A shocking change in minutes, hours. I realized that I was being hit by the rapid and great speed of life's changes.

“I want to inform my parents, aunt.” The aunt paused for a moment. She looked at Pyone Nwe. “I’ll inform them tomorrow.” “I think the wedding was a bit rushed today,” Pyone Nwe frowned. “As a relative of the girl, I think about it more. But.. I think it’s a bit of a shock to think that I’m being treated unfairly because I’ve arranged it so hastily. Maung Aung Thit must be worried and upset.”

I don't have the courage to say that I can't marry a Pyone family. I don't open my mouth to say that if I've never married, what if I've never married? I know that I won't say anything else except "Are you not considerate of my sister?" I know that it will definitely violate my morals. I can't bear it, so I just shake my head and they will say the law. Besides, Pyone family will know what I'm thinking.

By refusing, whether gently or harshly, I think I will only earn anger from the three women. If I were to exclude the smiling one from the three, even if the smiling one is not angry, it would be considered resentment. It would be considered a lack of compassion for a girl's life. It would be considered breaking my heart with vulgar words.

I regretted that day when I first found myself in this situation. I kept blaming myself for my own mistakes, which were not Pyone Nwe's. The situation was no longer new. Life was no longer normal. At that moment, Pyone Nwe's aunt and sister arrived.

Who, how much, how unconsciously, I don't remember. The iron door that was barely open. I had to blame that door for not opening enough to hear. The curtain of the smiling bedroom was pushed aside. Two pairs of eyes and a startled voice. Oh... the shy, trembling voice of the aunts. Their faces were ruined by shame. They knew that they hadn't been ruined yet.

“Now... Pyonew... I'll call lawyer U Thant Zin Myoint right now and tell him to come home.”

He sighed, smiling as he saw her.
