P.Morning - Story No. 3

Diamond ring  

Teacher Ma Sein, holding the little girl in her arms, got out of the carriage and looked eagerly at her room on the top floor of the three-story building. When she saw the dark eyes of the open window that seemed to be staring at her, her beautiful face became sad and she walked with weak steps towards the stairs.

Standing at the foot of the stairs, he handed over the money to the carriage driver who was following him, and then climbed the stairs with cool, steady steps.

Ma Sein teaches Burmese from grades four to ten at a school for children who wear pants and dresses.

As a schoolteacher, the 18-year-old young woman was really tired because she couldn't keep up with the work.

As I was climbing the stairs, I thought Ko Hla Thein wasn't coming.

"Whatever happens, he won't come to me with a disgraced face. I have a teacher who is a teacher, and he, a rich man, will be afraid that if he comes to me, people will see him and will be angry, mocking, and insulting him. And if his uncle doesn't like him, he won't give him a penny of the goods. I think he won't come because of these things. However, Ko Hla Thein is very determined, so he will come somehow or other," he thought.

When Hla Thein's father died at a young age, his uncle, U Ba Thein, took complete control of all his property according to the will of the deceased. The deceased rich man, U Ba Nyein, felt that leaving a large amount of property to his sons who were not yet of age would be like giving his son into the hands of the enemy, so he handed it over to his younger brother, U Ba Thein. Many believed that U Ba Thein had been U Ba Nyein's assistant and had helped him a lot in his work. U Ba Nyein himself believed this. However, no one knew that U Ba Thein had been more of a helper than a helper. U Ba Thein himself, although he was a little young, did not distrust or suspect him. In fact, U Ba Nyein's assets were squandered by U Ba Thein's cleverness and stealth, but they grew at a great pace so that nothing could go wrong. Finally, when U Ba Nyein died, his trusted brother entrusted him with a large amount of property, believing that he had received it through his past meritorious deeds and a faithful guardian.

Hla Thein treated his uncle like a father, and even though he was a young man, he had to beg from his uncle and use him.

On the other hand, only his uncle knew everything about his father's work, and Hla Thein was so confused that he couldn't even figure out what to do if his uncle told him to do something, so he had to rely on his uncle's advice to understand the work.

Teacher Ma Sein and Hla Thein had been in love since they were in college together, but now, as time has taught them, their love has grown from being just friends to a kind of friendship.

As the buds of love bloom, they both begin to blossom.

Ma Sein was in college, but he didn't stay long. Due to the death of his parents, he couldn't continue his education, so he dropped out of school and started a life on his own, struggling to find a way to thrive.

Hla Thein wanted to help her friend a lot, but she couldn't because she didn't have enough money. Now that she knew the depth of love, she didn't need to support her anymore, she just wanted to support her for the rest of her life.

When Ma Sein boldly pushed open the door and looked in, he was overcome with joy and left.

Then, "Oh, my dear, Ko Hla Thein, even the flashlights can't light it up, it's so big and stiff like a ghost," he said, running away, and eventually reaching the strong arms of a man who was sitting on a chair in the dark.

After a while, the wind blew softly.

"I thought, 'Isn't it coming?' I looked into my room and saw that it was dark, and I fainted," he said, turning on the flashlight.

As the flashlight flooded the room, Maung Hla Thein looked at the homeowner's imaginative and memorable artwork with awe, comparing the decor of the beautiful room with the groom's face.

"You promised to come and then didn't come, teacher?"

"I'm doing it again, teacher, what's wrong?"

"If you don't call me nurse, what should I call you?"

"Call me by name," he said, pouting his lovely lips and winking.

Hla Thein pulled her beautiful, delicate hand and made her sit on her lap. The teacher

"Wait, let me take a quick shower while you're exhausted."

Saying that, he got up and ran to the back.

After a while, the air heater began to hum, and the sounds of water from the bathroom mingled with the sound of boiling water.

Then the two of them sat down next to each other at a small table and drank tea.

"What makes you think I didn't come?"

"I'm saying this because people say it when they see it."

“What do you have to say, Sein? Sein is a poor girl now, and she has to work as a schoolteacher, but she still has a lineage. She is better than Ko Ko in lineage. Ko Ko is more of a child who is proud of her parents and has impermanent possessions. If Sein knew that, it would be very disappointing.”

"He said with a smile on his pleasant face, and as he held the tea bowl, he stared at Ma Sein's face, thinking.

"What, Koko?"

"There's nothing in Koko, it's all empty now"

"Why?" Sein remained in disbelief.

"Ngai Gyi is acting crazy, he doesn't speak properly, and now he can't even ask for money. It has nothing to do with him. The Facebook stuff is because of him. He's saying it belongs to him."

"Hey, what's wrong?"
