Moe Moe (Inya) - Magazine Stories

If we were to talk about ambiguous events, I don't think there is a love story as tragic as the story of Maung and Chit Chit. It wouldn't be as interesting as a single story. However, I think Maung can accept that the most trivial incident can be the most memorable, the most longing, and the most nostalgic in a lifetime.

Chit Chit and Chit are so uncertain. If we compare life, which is fleeting, fragile, and incapable of being grasped, to the elements that float in the air, Chit Chit is like a bird of prey. Because Chit Chit's life is often moving in the air even on the surface. Isn't it in the air that Chit Chit first met Mao? That's why Maung had to call Chit Chit "the little bird on the plane."

Chit Chit will never forget the day I met my brother. Saturday, April 24, 1976. Since it was Saturday, it was considered bad according to our ideas. Chit Chit thought that Saturn had entered my life, my daughter.

Actually, Chit Chit was very tired that day. In the morning, I went to Yenangya Chatra. On the way back, I took a special train to Nyaung U and Mandalay. That time, I met Maung. There were many passengers. Two patients were also there. Maung was sitting in front of the injured patient who had been injured in a car accident. He was wearing a bright red sports shirt. Maung's skin was white. .

Even before the plane took off, I noticed Maung. Maung's appearance was clearly Burmese, but he also seemed to have a European touch. Maung's hair was long but soft, making it easy to see. His eyes were red under his thick eyebrows. It looked like he had been drinking something.

As Chit Chit walked towards the gate, I noticed that Maung was staring at me with wide eyes. Chit Chit and I were already leaving. Since we were all so attentive to the passengers, we were used to being attentive to them. It was Chit Chit's responsibility to treat everyone with the utmost respect. Chit Chit put on the sweetest smile on her face.

" Please don't be so impatient. Please move to another place, I'm afraid I'll touch the next patient."

I was worried that my brothers would be upset, but I spoke out of genuine kindness. My brother opened his eyes, which were still drooping. Then he calmed down. He walked to the front and then turned back. “There are no other seats next to me, so can I sit here? I want to look outside.”

I thought to myself that it was just a child falling, but I politely said, “Sit down, okay?” I also removed the armrest between his seat to make him more comfortable. Then Chit Chit entered the back room. I held up the cup to announce the departure of the plane.

" Please listen, may all the passengers who are on board today be blessed with good fortune. In a few moments, our plane will be flying from Nyaung U to Yangon. The flight will take about one and a half to twenty minutes, flying at an altitude of thirteen thousand feet. The plane is about to take off. All passengers are requested to fasten their seat belts and not smoke before the red light in front goes out. Thank you."

And then he spoke in English again. The sound of the plane's engines came out loudly. The wheels of the plane began to roll down the runway. After a slight shake, the plane lifted off. It was back in the air.

Chit Chit left holding a tray of sweets. Starting from the front. When Mong arrived, he looked up at Mong as if he had imagined it. Maung took a piece of candy. “Thank you,” he said. He was a modern and polite maung. “ Please give me a glass of water, sir.”

Maung is like a child who is very happy. My duty is to make sure that all the passengers reach their destination safely. " Yes," he said in a sweet and gentle voice. Then, without any fuss, the little blue-eyed boy quickly carried a glass of water to Maung. "The water is not ice water," Maung said nothing. He drank the whole glass of water . He must have been very hot.

The glass of water was put back and the newspaper was handed out. The two tourists looked down at the ground, as if they were trying to guess the map of Myanmar. Maung had his eyes closed behind his head. Chit Chit was more generous and opened the small air vent on Maung's side. Maung smiled gratefully.

The preliminary duties were over, and Chit Chit sat down beside the sick old lady, taking care of her. Her face was full and her words were clear. Being kind and loving to everyone is not just a virtue, it will please God.

Chit Chit's work is not over yet. He still has to distribute coffee to the passengers. He had to go into the back room. He opened the coffee cups and drank without spilling anything. When he got close to the table, Maung opened his eyes and looked at him. He smiled as if he was getting closer. He shook his head, not taking the coffee cup that Chit Chit offered him.

"I just want to drink water. If I get off in about twenty minutes, please give me another glass of water." Chit Chit nodded.

Now that all the work is done , it's time to relax. Then, my eyes fell on the empty space next to me . My brother smiled invitingly at me. "Hey, brother."

Chit Chit sat down next to me. If I hadn't sat down next to me back then, I would have been better off. Chit Chit and I didn't meet. Then, my brother looked at Chit Chit with a confused look and reached out to hold Chit Chit's hands. "Your hands are so beautiful that I want to hold them," he said. What a bad brother. Chit Chit didn't think she was beautiful, so he just finished. Chit Chit's finishing was also a task, I thought.

" What's your name?" Maung whispered to Chit Chit .

"Lwin Lwin's beloved Chit Chit smiled as usual. "What a beautiful name."

Your words are so sweet. I feel so happy and content, like a child who is still young and inexperienced.

"Can I come visit your house?" I didn't even think about Chit Chit. "I'll come later," he answered easily.

“My name is Myint Oo, please give me your phone number. I work in the accounting office.” “I came here on leave.”

Maung nodded. Then he wrote his phone number on a small piece of paper about two inches long. He took out a notebook from the notebook and handed it to her. Chit Chit wrote the phone number back. Maung's eyes, which were wide open, began to sparkle.

"Is he alone?"

Chit Chit didn't dare to ask directly, but rather probed a little.

" I'm alone."

My brother is also a bit confused.

In fact, it is good to know love from that time. You should understand. Even the thousands of travelers and the many lovers who have been there know that it is easy to be mistaken while traveling. However, I think that love and life are just a matter of fate. I don't want to dismiss love as my own fault or my own fault. Love and myself are like a pipe and I have grown "Pan".

"I'll call you later tonight." I don't know why. Love is warm again.

Chit Chit looked at the clock. The plane was about to land. She opened her wallet to put in the money. Maung saw a small piece of paper written in red ink. “What is that?” Maung asked. Chit Chit accidentally stepped forward, and Maung took Chit Chit’s hand and spread it out to read. Maung’s gesture was very familiar. “Nothing, it’s a song called May Shin.” Chit Chit saw Maung reading and said from the side, “Did Chit Chit sing May Shin?” “ What, Chit Chit doesn’t know how to sing Burmese songs?” “Yes, it’s an old song.”

"Oldies music comes on the radio every now and then."

My brother looked at Chit Chit and laughed contentedly. " Chit Chit, it's so nice to listen to you talk, and if you sing, it's also nice to listen to you sing."

"No, I don't want to say it." "Otherwise, I won't be able to leave this place."

Chit Chit laughed shyly. Then, halfway through the song, she stopped and started moaning.

“My beloved flower is blooming, I look up to Ko Shwe Moe, my beloved flower is blooming, Ko Shwe Moe, my beloved rain

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"I'm going now, ah, so why do you call us Chi Chi?"

My brother pointed to the little Chit Chit wallet. The name Chit Chit is engraved on the Chit Chit wallet.

Chit Chit had to enter the small room to announce that the plane was about to land. My brother was probably listening to Chit Chit's voice, and his voice trembled slightly.

“Please listen, in a few moments, the Servant-2 aircraft will be landing at Yangon Mingalardon Airport. All passengers are requested to fasten their seat belts and extinguish their cigarettes. Thank you.”
