P.Morning - Vatthupadesa No. (16)

I'm surprised.

B.A.B.L. Maung Maung Kha, who had studied at the Calcutta University, had always kept in mind that after he had completed his B.A., he had to deal with a woman, and with the law, rather than with a judge. If you look at the calculation, the lawyer's profession was "fighting", which meant hiring a typewriter, paying for carriages, renting a room, and writing. Since all the money he earned was deducted from his expenses, he became a serious minister in external matters, which he had to collect from his clients to earn money. Since he had not yet become a third- or second-class lawyer after his B.A., he had not invested enough money, so he thought that taking a wife was a great thing to hope for.

One day, Maung Maung Kha boarded the second carriage of a train to a district town on business, and was so drunk that he almost fell off the train. Because, as the saying goes, "I met a sweet girl, I met a virgin" in the second carriage.

The thing is, she is an 18-year-old English girl with a fair complexion, a high forehead, and all the beauty in the world, from her eyebrows to her eyes and her neck.

Maung Maung Kha held on to the rail of the train, pulling himself up without any effort, and sat down awkwardly, facing the girl.

Maung Maung, who was sitting in front of him, was filled with a mixture of love, compassion, and lust for the young woman in front of him, so he looked at her for a moment. His four eyes, his

``After a while, the train from Yangon Station started to sound its horn and started to go towards Pyay. At that time, Maung Maung Kha was reading the Kawi Eyeglasses magazine from Kawi Eyeglasses, which he was holding in his hand, as if he was reading it with great enthusiasm. He turned the pages one by one, and as if he were reading it with a different twist, he kept his eyes fixed on the English girl, and he kept his eyes fixed on the English girl.

The English girl, knowing that Maung Maung Kha was watching, carefully embroidered the lace she held in her hand. Sometimes the lace was wrong and she had to fix it. It almost fell out of Maung Maung Kha's magazine.

As they walked like this, they did not speak to each other until the train arrived at Kyee Myint Daing Station. When they reached Insein Station, the English girl leaned forward and placed the necklace near her. Maung Maung Kha, with his eyes wide open, placed the magazine on his lap and looked out the window at the fields. No matter what they looked at, their minds were constantly wondering who was who and whose descendants they were.

When the train arrived at Insein Station, Maung Maung Kha was worried that people would board the train, so he imagined that he would sit next to the English lady, and if he sat next to her, she would be like this.

The thought of the next bug in his mind made him worry, so he got up and looked out the window, wondering if the English lady and her hot belly were coming. He pretended to look in the direction of the English lady, and looked at the market vendors. The English lady remained calm as she looked in the direction of the English lady. While he was thinking like this, the train left Insein Station. Only then did Maung Maung Kha's mind calm down.

As they walked slowly like this, both of them became sad. Because people live in groups and have no one to talk to. After a while, the English girl asked in a sweet voice, "Can I please read your newspaper?" Maung Maung Kha got up from his seat, took the newspaper lightly, and handed it to the English girl. He also gave her a copy of the Kawi Eyeglasses magazine written in Burmese. "The dolls are beautiful," he said, adding, "Please take a look." When the English girl thanked him, Maung Maung Kha felt that he was being mocked. . . The English girl was grateful for the newspaper. Maung Maung Kha was grateful for the newspaper. Maung Maung Kha, looking at the English girl reading the newspaper, praised her in his heart, saying, "She is the most beautiful girl in the world." He wanted to say something, but the English girl did not raise her head and just sat there reading the newspaper.

After reading the newspaper, he returned it to Maung Maung Kha. Maung Maung Kha asked him where he was going.

English: "I'm going to my country."

Maung Maung Kha. “Do you live in the country?”

English: “No, I live in Yangon. Where do you live?”

Maung Maung Kha. “I am in Yangon, why don’t you go to Pathein now?” -

English: "Where do you work?"

Maung Maung Kha. “This is my card,” he said, and handed it over.

English: After looking at the card, he asked, "How long has it been since you returned from Kalakat?"

Maung Maung Kha: “Not long ago, about 6 months ago.

"What is your name?"

English: "My name is Mary," she said shyly.

Maung Maung Kha. “Why are you going?” I asked him. “I’m going to school because the school is closed,” he replied.

Maung Maung Kha. “Which school do you live in?”

Mary: “I’m on the computer.”

Maung Maung Kha. “Are you wearing a dress?”

Mary, who is also known as Ma Nyunt, nodded.

Maung Maung Kha. “Which class are you in?”

Ma Nyunt: “In the tenth grade.”

After that, having no chance, they reached Letpandan in silence. Maung Maung Kha was sad to leave Ma Nyunt and board the Pathein train. Nyunt went alone to Pyay.

One evening, after Maung Maung Kha had finished his day's work, he was walking along the pagoda road in the evening. He came across Mary, a face he had never seen before, crossing the pagoda road, carrying a small leather bag.

When they meet like that, they stand there looking at each other without saying a word. This is because young people only talk when they are very familiar with each other. Such looks are like a robbery of the eyes.

After a while, Maung Maung Kha took off his hat and paid his respects. Then the girl left. Maung Maung Kha remained behind, watching the girl go without letting her go.

Maung Maung Kha was staring at him with all his eyes. Then, thinking that I would find out where he was, he turned and returned to his house.

The school opened a few days later, so Maung Maung Kha went to the school and waited in front of the school until the school was finished. He thought to himself that if he saw Mary one day and separated from her friends, he would come and talk to her. If she rejected him, he would have to search for her in other cities.

I followed him and saw him turn away from the hospital and go towards Mugo Street. When he reached Mugo Street, he had already separated from his companions, and Maung Maung Kha took off his hat and greeted him. Mary also smiled and greeted him back.

Mary: "Are you deliberately following me?"

Maung Maung Kha. “As you can imagine, if you think I'm rude, I'm only following you because I see you in my eyes.” I didn't consciously wait for you to follow me.

"Do you hate me?"

Mary: "Why should I hate you? But you must be found guilty of following the wishes of men and having fun."

Maung Maung Kha. “You say this because you don’t know my feelings. I’m not that kind of person.”

Then the young woman, without speaking, walked along with Maung Maung Kha.

Mary: "If your heart is right, I have no objection. I know you are doing your duty, and I remember your name."

"You're George, aren't you?"

``Maung Maung'' in Burmese is Maung Maung Kha, and in English it is George. The card given to me on the train says George.

Then, as they continued talking, Mary Kow Ma Nyunt and Maung Maung Kha were allowed to openly express their love for each other, and they became lovers and went away.

``Maung Maung Kha would go and meet them every evening. They would not reveal their Burmese names, but would live together like English men and women. . .

The English girl, Ma Nyunt, not only had relatives in Letpadan, but she herself was a Letpadan.

The English boy was the only son of a wealthy man living in Pathein. His parents, out of love for their son, sent him to Calcutta for his education, where he became George, also known as Maung Maung Kha, who passed the B.A.L.

The rich man U Thant met the schoolmaster U Khant in the train carriage.

"Oh my, school teacher."

"My lord, where did they come from?"

Thant. “Hey, my son, I’m working in Yangon, so I have to go and see the situation, school teacher.”

About. "Who else?"

Thant. “Maung Maung Kha is my son...BABL”
