Min Khan Soe San - The ghost who stole one of his lover's cheeks

Introduction

I think she is a woman who harbors a dark, terrifying secret.

Every time she and I had a problem over something trivial, my suspicions grew stronger.

What nightmares are haunting your mind... Please tell me, girl...

I have to recite a forgotten sentence. She is also a black mask.

*

At the intersection of Graduation Road and the entrance to the Economics University, the thought that she and I were going to have some kind of problem arose spontaneously. (I don't know why I felt that way myself.)

“Ray. . . Where are you going? Should we go out the other side, or just go out this way and take the car back to Hledan?”

She turned to me sharply. Oh my God, what kind of vulgar response would I hear from you? (Every time we reached a crossroads, she deliberately chose the opposite path from the one I chose. I could never argue with her. So later I got used to listening to her decision.)

My dear little girl has never been one to accept someone else's decision. That little girl is a god who can be held back by anything.

She turned to look at me sharply, as if to say something. Then...she shook her head.

“Please don’t follow Ko Nyein Teyza. I won’t be heading out to Hledan this evening. I have something else to do.”

I was surprised. Why did he suddenly change his mind?

"Where are you going, Ray? I'll take you there."

I'm dying... why would a guy like me be so modest towards a woman like this?

I felt a little angry with myself. “Ko Nyein Teyza... will you really take me where I want to go?”

"Well...I'm telling you the truth, I'll send you."

Wow...look, I'm weak again.

I said it again, without regret.

“Tell me... Ray, where do you want to go?” “I want to go to hell... take me with you.”

Look, I feel like kicking that girl around on the ground like a soccer ball.

"I can't take you to hell, you have to go yourself."

"Huh... you see, I really can't send you."

I didn't know what to say, I just sat there for a moment, tense. She...

“Now...stay with me, Ko Nyein Teyza. I'll go. We'll meet again tomorrow.”

"Hey... I'll tell you where I'm going first."

"Oh...it's hard, I left it there on purpose so you wouldn't know. Don't you even understand that?"

I noticed that her gaze and tone were as sharp as the fangs of a demon.

Where are you going? Why don't you want me to know? Why are there so many secrets, girl?

She walked away, her back to the graduation path, where long, slender, green bamboo leaves and yellow flowers were falling.

I was left standing alone, with painful puzzles.

A golden evening had fallen.

I'm still watching her back...

Her shadow was long in the twilight.

But...

If you face the sun, you'll leave a shadow behind, right?

Girl... you left me behind with your shadows.

The evening when she and I first met was also an evening on the narrow street. The shadows were still long and cold, like funeral bodies, and the green bamboo leaves and yellow flowers were still falling.
