Pianist Ko Khin Maung Latt played the piano with a gentle, graceful manner, seemingly oblivious to his fingers moving rapidly over the piano keys. His fingers moved from playing on the right (right note) side to occasionally touching the left note keys with his left hand. This tapping was done to end the last verse of the song on the left note.

He was very good at playing big songs and was able to play them with such a lively and lively rhythm that made him different from others, which is why he won the title of champion. According to the fans' requests, the song "Gandhama Taung Pa Pyaw" that he is currently playing is also his favorite and most successful song.

In appearance, Ko Khin Maung Latt was tall, thin, and compact, with a slender body. His fingers, as they played the piano keys, were as slender as candles, soft and delicate, the fingers of an artist.

He leaned forward slightly from his chair. The piano keys were ivory white under the sunlight and the light. He didn't even look at the keys, his fingers seemed to move naturally to the music. It was as if he was playing with his mind, not with his hands. His fingers followed his heart.

. Ko Khin Maung Latt is a person who has successfully inherited the musical heritage that he has acquired over many years from great Burmese musicians and Western musicians. Thus, he became a famous musician after being awarded the gold medal and championship in the piano competition held last year. -

The entire hall erupted in applause. At the end of the "Gandhama Taung" concert , they continued with the Western song "Mhaikkoski" from Conce No. 1. By the time the song ended, the applause was even louder than before.

He rose from the piano stool with a gentle, graceful movement and bowed his head towards the audience. The notes he had played were still echoing in his head. At the same time, he also imagined the face of Dr. Saw Kalyan, the doctor he would marry the next day.

"Well, at this time, I'll be getting ready in front of the riverbank to pick you up at the airport. I'm a very beautiful girl. If I go to a party, it takes me about an hour to choose clothes. Well, now, to pick me up..."

He could see the face of his future wife, and the final applause from the audience was deafening. He glanced at his watch, and the plane was about to take off.

He bowed last to the band leader, U Ba Thaung, a tall, fair-skinned man of nearly 50, whose hair was already turning gray. But his face was one of integrity, and his graying hair reflected his mature experience.

"Well... U Ba Thaung, we should go now, if it doesn't take too long."

"Let's go....the car is ready."

So, as U Ba Thaung stepped behind the curtain, Khin Maung Latt quickly followed him and immediately arrived outside the air conditioning room.

Yes.

"I heard a voice say, 'Master,' and as I turned around, I saw 3-4 young men coming towards me. They all had cameras strapped to them, and it looked like they were reporters. One of them...

“Ah.... I heard that Khin Maung Latt doesn't have to go abroad again, is that true?”

"Yes..but I'm not sure yet."

While asking, someone else

“But…..can we know a little more about U Khin Maung Latt’s marriage? I’m sorry to ask.”

"We're getting married tomorrow. Please don't go into the details. I have to leave now before the plane takes off. So please be patient. U Ba Thaung knows me well. He will tell you."

' Ko Khin Maung Latt slowly followed U Ba Thaung, who was leading the way, and as he did so, he saw the flashing lights of the cameras.

"Come on... Khin Maung Latt, hurry up."

"Yes.. I have arrived."

Ko Khin Maung Latt got in the car later, sat down, and quickly closed the door.

At that moment, two young men and three boys, aged 16 and 17, rushed in, grabbed the car door, and each took out a book from their hand. "Wait a minute, sir... just a minute, let's write a little bit in our "auto"."

The three girls were also begging, taking out books and notebooks.

Ko Khin Maung Latt had to sign five auto books, and then the car sped away at high speed.

Ko Khin Maung Latt checked his watch 3 times in 2 minutes when the driver approached him and said, .........

"Don't worry, sir..." - "The plane leaves at 2 o'clock, and it only takes 0.5 minutes to arrive at 2 o'clock."

"I'm going to sleep on the pillow, please." The black Mercedes was driving steadily, the speedometer slowly rising from 20 to 30, 30 to 40 miles. At one point, the road ahead was blocked, so I had to slow down a bit. Once, the railway gate was closed, so I had to stop for only a minute.

At that time, Ko Khin Maung Latt was leaning on the front and back of the chair, unable to move.

The car continued to run at a fast pace. When it reached the outskirts of the city, the traffic was relatively clear, and the car was running faster than before.

"Your voice is very good today, teacher."

"Why.......were you in the room when I was playing?" . .

“No, no, no, but I’m in the car.”

The driver looked at the radio in the car and then

"I heard it in the car, sir."

"But........yes?"

The car was slowly approaching Chan Mya Thar Si Airport. - Ko Khin Maung Latt leaned against the back of the car and closed his eyes. In just a minute, his mind had raced a million times faster than the speed of the car. The stories of Saw Kalya began to appear in his eyes.

Although he was currently driving a large black Mercedes, his mind was imagining himself sitting next to his lover in a white sedan driven by Saw Kalya. One of these days, he and Saw Kalya would be walking together in their lives, wouldn't they?

The car hurtled down the flat asphalt road into the field, and when it hit the ground, I was startled and opened my eyes. At the same time,

"Your voice is very good today, teacher."

"Why.......were you in the room when I was playing?" . .

"No, no, no, but I'm in the car," the driver said, looking at the radio in the car.

"I heard it in the car, sir."

"But........yes?"

The big car is slowly approaching Chan Myat Thashi Airport.

Ko Khin Maung Latt leaned against the back of the car and closed his eyes. In just a minute, his mind had raced a million times faster than the speed of the car. The events of Saw Kalya began to flash before his eyes.

Although he was currently driving a large black Mercedes, his mind was imagining himself sitting next to his lover in a white sedan driven by Saw Kalya. One of these days, he and Saw Kalya would be walking together in their lives, wouldn't they?

The car hurtled down the flat asphalt road into the field, and when it hit the ground, I was startled and opened my eyes. At the same time,

"I'm here, sir," I heard the driver's voice, so I looked around.

Then Khin Maung Latt told the driver...

"Thank you, tell your teacher. I said goodbye... see you next year," said Khin Maung Latt, grabbing his bag, getting out of the car, and entering the next flight office.

*** *,

"Aren't you coming early, hey... Maung Mya?"

Ko Khin Maung Latt approached his disciple Maung Mya, who was driving to Mingalar Don Airport, and asked him, "What are you doing?"

"Yes, sir... I'm going to a lecture at the medical school, but I didn't come. I thought the minister who just arrived from abroad yesterday was going to give a lecture. He said that if I don't attend this lecture, it won't happen."

"Ah... yes?"

"Yes, sir. At first, we planned to go carefully. But when the doctor invited me to come, I said it would be better if I didn't go. The doctor himself kept calling me on the phone and said it would be better if I didn't go."

"Okay... okay.......that's it, then."

"Come on, let's go."

Maung Mya took Ko Khin Maung Latt's briefcase and the two of them walked towards the white pickup truck.

The drizzle gradually subsided, and by the time the airport car left, the rain had already started to fall, as a dark, hazy cloud was coming from the south of the airport.

It was late in the evening, and as we drove for a while, the insects were getting quite heavy, and the surroundings were gradually getting dark. Maung Mya turned on the lights and drove steadily.

"Why did you slow down when you were driving?" "It's getting too hot, sir. I think we should stop first." *Just drive, it's okay."

"Is it okay if we park under a tree and continue driving when the rain stops?"

"Why are you still so afraid of the rain? Give me a ride. I can play the piano but I can drive."

"No problem, sir. I'll drive. You need me first."

"If this is the case, I want to go to your lecture. I want to meet with you and discuss some important matters for tomorrow. Just drive, it's okay. Don't slow down too much, and I'll be there before the lecture."

The car roared out of the rain at a rapid pace. Maung Mya drove fast because he was afraid of his teacher, but inside he was terrified that he would skid. At the Ko Laung bend beyond Sawbwa Kyi Hill, he had to avoid a large cargo lorry driving at high speed from Yangon.

The road from there was quite narrow, and there was a six-inch drop on one side, so both wheels of Min Maung Latt's small car fell onto the right side of the road and overturned at once. Unfortunately, when the car overturned, smoke was coming out of the gas tank and flames were blazing.

Ko Khin Maung Latt covered his face with both hands to protect it from the flames coming from the front. As a result, the shattered glass from the car and the molten metal from the inside of the car did not hit his face but only his hands. He then fell forward, hitting his face against the back of the front seat and losing consciousness.

When he regained consciousness, he found that his arms were under the burning car seat on both sides. He also noticed that blood was flowing from his head. He felt a very painful wind from his clenched hands. Fortunately, the driver, Maung Mya, was not seriously injured, except for a few bruises on both arms.

The people in the lorry and the people in the car that followed gathered around and they had to pull Khin Maung Latt out of the car with great difficulty. Khin Maung Latt) was unconscious, and while he was unconscious, he remembered Saw Kalya as if he was dreaming, and when he remembered, he remembered the incident that had happened to him. Finally, Mo Mo gently grabbed his arms and realized that others were carrying him somewhere.

He heard a voice from the crowd saying, "Hurry up... Hurry up, the fire is so hot, it's going to take a long time." The little car was completely engulfed in flames.

Ko Khin Maung Latt was in severe pain from his finger, and Maung Mya was bleeding from his arm wound. At that moment, a fire truck and people from the nearby neighborhood arrived and surrounded the fire, and the fire was extinguished.

Soon, a car arrived at the scene, and a beautifully dressed woman jumped out of the car and ran towards Khin Maung Latt. The woman was none other than Saw Kalyan. Saw Kalyan's face was filled with shock, trembling, and worry, and her whole body was trembling.

"Early ...... ... ..... early. "

Ko Khin Maung Latt shouted Saw Kalya's name at the top of his voice, but no sound came out. He was so excited that he couldn't make any sound. He felt that a part of his body was missing, and he watched his fingers move.

He was startled by the sudden cry of Saw Kalya, who was approaching him. In his mind, he thought he could move his fingers, but in physical reality, he couldn't. He tried again, but it didn't move at all. "Come on, brother, come on."

Saw Kalya rubbed Ko Khin Maung Lat's face with her cheek, crying sobs and moans without making a sound. Maung Mya, too, was oblivious to his own injuries and knelt down beside Ko Khin Maung Lat, holding his feet and hands.

Soon an ambulance arrived, and three men nearby, including Maung Mya, lifted Ko Khin Maung Latt into the ambulance. When they got into the ambulance, they noticed that a man had placed his hands on his chest, almost all of the fingers on both hands were crushed . Saw Kalya had the ambulance follow him, and he himself climbed into the ambulance and lifted Ko Khin Maung Latt's upper body, unable to move.

"Early"

"It's a good thing I didn't die because of luck, brother."

Saw Kalya gently kissed both of Khin Maung Latt's cheeks, and that kiss gave him a new and unique strength.

"Now..........drive fast, kid...."

Saw Kalia said to the ambulance driver.

Khin Maung Latt called out again, "Early," and answered.

"Brother... I'm right next to you, I'm holding you, stay calm, I'm going to the hospital right now."

"Middle ..... Field ... Field ... Field ... The reality is very painful.. Early ........... Come on.. Come on ....."

"Just hold on tight, brother, wait a minute, it will disappear immediately after applying the medicine, don't worry."

The ambulance was driving smoothly, and Saw Kalya's words of encouragement echoed in Khin Maung Latt's ears.

The rain had stopped somewhat, but it hadn't stopped yet. He tried to speak again, but his throat was so cracked that he couldn't make a sound. He had to force his head to shut it.

"Look at my hands, my love," he said, glaring at Saw Kalya with his eyes, causing her to reach out and look at Khin Maung Latt's hands. Saw Kalya's eyes widened, and she even covered her mouth with her hand to keep from screaming in fear.

"It's going to happen, bro. How can it happen that much, my little fingers?"

Before he could say anything, the ambulance suddenly stopped, causing Khin Maung Latt to groan, "Oh... Oh...". He felt a sharp pain in both his wrists. He was already in a coma, so he asked the driver, "Why did you have to stop?" The driver replied respectfully, "I'll get out and take a look."

Khin Maung Latt could hear the sounds of people talking and arguing next to each other in the car. One voice was the driver's voice, and the other voices were the voices of two people.

(Driver's voice) "I have a burn injury in my car."
