Maung Sein Win (Puti Kone) - If he kisses her, she is a flower, if he throws her away, her leaves will fall.

Just hearing him speak moves my heart. I forget everything in the midst of his voice.

As I looked at his face, I felt a sense of unease.

The focus of attention is on the things that are not there, but on the things that are still there. Even a glance can prolong the period of excitement. A person who can carve many memories in my heart...

(1)

I imagined the leaves of a banyan tree being hit hard by a bow. They seemed to be shaking and falling apart. The branches were swaying and the leaves were shaking.

His mind was still restless. His thoughts were so chaotic. He knew it was unbelievable. He realized it wasn't even something he had imagined.

When his friends arrived, he tried to keep his expression calm. He tried to hide the signs of emotion that were evident on his face. He didn't dare to tell everyone about it, thinking that he would tell Aye Aye Lwin only when he got back to the dormitory.

The whole day, I was not as free as usual. My chest felt tight, as if it was being held by something. The morning's events, which flashed back and forth, would clear my thoughts from the present. I sighed again, unconsciously.

Aye Aye Lwin and I were going to the market for a while, so we decided to stay at school. Aye Aye Lwin asked, "What are you doing, it's been two hours." He replied, "I want to copy the letters I lost the other day, I'll be in the library."

After entering the library and copying the papers, I looked at the clock. It was still early. I was hungry, so I thought I would have a cup of bitter coffee. I packed my books and left the library, putting them in my bag.

"I came to the cafeteria. The cafeteria wasn't full, but there were people at most of the tables. I sat down at an empty corner table."

As I was ordering a cup of bitter coffee, I glanced around and noticed a table set diagonally across from hers. I immediately recognized it as Nyo Min Lwin and his group.

Not seeing Nyo Min Lwin, he quickly turned his gaze away and sat down with his back to their table. He had seen him when he entered the shop and remembered them whispering to each other.

He put his hair in his hands and ordered a cup of strong coffee and bread and butter from the waiter who came over.

When the waiter left, I wiped the sweat from my neck with a handkerchief. Then I pulled the book I had read earlier out of my bag, opened it, and looked down.

The waiter brought the coffee and cake she had ordered. She put the book back in her bag and picked up the coffee cup. She took a sip, put it back down, and ate the bread and butter. “Maw Thet Hlaing,” she heard footsteps coming from behind her and her name being called. She looked up at the person standing next to her. She recognized him as someone with a pale face from the group of Nyo Min Lwin and others.

"Yes..."

She focused on his face as it came out of her mouth.

“I am Nyo Min Lwin’s friend.”

"Yes, sir."

She knew her voice would be steady and her face would be more serious than usual.

"There... me"

He looked away from her stammering, focused gaze and toward the group where they were sitting, laughing again.

"You... are you kidding me?" His voice sounded a little angry, I thought.

“No... no, I... I... Nyo Min Lwin asked me to give you the letter.”

"Sir..."

A look of surprise suddenly crossed her face, and she immediately straightened up. He took out his hand from his bag and placed a letter in front of her, sealed in an envelope.

“Take it back, I don’t want it.”

As she finished speaking, he turned and left. Suddenly, she was left speechless, not knowing what to do. At that moment, she heard laughter from around them.

"Esut... we have faith in your courage."

The sound of applause and cheers made her blood boil again. She stood up abruptly, holding the envelope in one hand, and walked towards the table.

There was silence as she watched her walk towards their table. All eyes were fixed on her face. With a stern look on her face, she came face to face with the person who had brought her the letter at the edge of the table.

"Rob... you"

"That's... not my letter, it's Nyo Min Lwin's letter. Nyo Min Lwin asked me to give it to you."

"Return the letter you gave me, no matter whose letter it is."

"Take it away...

"If you return the letter, what good will it do you, Nyo Min Lwin?" someone from the side said. He looked at his face and winked. Then he said, "Will you take back your letter? If not, I will send it to the head of my department."

He said sharply.

"Ha...ha...don't do that."

They seemed to tremble as soon as he said "dean." I thought they knew that the dean was strict and didn't like chaos and chaos.

"Take it back," someone said.

The person who had delivered the letter to her grabbed the envelope from her hand.

He turned away quickly.

"Nyo Min Lwin is a liar."

"Nyo Min Lwin, the one who is called Som Hla Khi, has been punished this time, hasn't he?"

The sounds of conversation and laughter drifted behind her. When she returned to the table, she no longer felt like eating bread and butter, so she sipped her coffee.

Then I called the waiter, paid the bill, and left the canteen.

Once outside, I relaxed my tense mind and walked back to the library.

“Was Nyo Min Lwin not there at that time?”

Listening intently to everything Da Thet Hlaing said, Aye Aye Lwin asked at the end. Sitting on the bench under the yeta tree in front of the building, he looked at the fence and trees.

Aye Aye Lwin's question from somewhere brought a look to Aye Aye Lwin's face.

"No... there isn't one"

Da Thet Hlaing answered, shaking his head.

"Their entire group is a riot."

"Yes... it's just me, Aye Hlaing."

“But there is one person named Nyo Min Lwin.”

"We'll stay in the same group." "No, I really like him..."

"Aye Aye Lwin looked at Da Thet Hlaing's face as he interrupted."

"It's impossible, Aye Lwin, you're just insulting me and making fun of me."

"Don't count on that, Leha, you can't judge the face of the person in charge."

“No need, Aye Aye Lwin, you’re the one who’s dating every pretty girl in the entire university.”

"Well... what's up?"

"Oh, cool... what could it be that he's interested in a slob like me? And last week, I asked him his name, and he's just taking advantage of my weakness."

Last week, Tu Ma visited Da Thet Hlaing. Tu Ma was not from their school, Da Thet Hlaing took Tu Ma to the canteen. At the canteen, he met Nyo Min Lwin and his group. They passed by the group, and although they often met at the canteen, Da Thet Hlaing did not notice. He only understood that it was a group of students from Pang Taung Taung and Taung Taung.

Tu Ma pointed at Nyo Min Lwin and asked him if he knew his name, he was so handsome. Da Thet Hlaing shook his head. He said, "I want to know his name, so please try to find out."

He remembered Aye Aye Lwin and others saying that Nai Naing Oo's brother, who was close to Da Thet Hlaing and others, was among the group. "I really want to know," Tu Ma said again, "so let me investigate, I'll bring you back the next day." Finally, he promised to ask Nai Naing Oo through someone else.

The next day, he asked Nai Naing Oo. "Isn't he the fair-skinned, well-built, and handsome one among Ko Ko's group?" Nai Naing Oo asked.

I said yes, but I don't know, so it's Nyo Min Lwin, who is very popular at school.

It was then that Da Thet Hlaing first heard the name. When he got to the dormitory, he told his roommate Aye Aye Lwin about the incident.

"Yes, that's right... Oh, you don't even know, Nyo Min Lwin?" he said, shaking his head again.

To Da Thet Hlaing, who knew nothing except his friends and schoolwork, everything was strange.

"I remember, and you wanted to tell me that you investigated his name for Touma and he found out."

“Yes... Nai Naing Oo will tell his brother, and his brother will definitely tell Nyo Min Lwin.”

“Well... maybe.”

"So he'll think I'm interested in him and looking into his names."

"That's possible too"

“I hate that kind of man, Aye Lwin. A man who takes every opportunity he gets is more terrifying and hateful than a tiger in the jungle.”

"I really want to be interested, but I'm afraid it won't happen."

"Ha... that's impossible, after you told me, I saw that Nyo Min Lwin sitting in the cafeteria with some pretty girls. What interest does he have in a person like me? The reason I'm shaking in my heart is because of anger, Aye Lwin."

Da Thet Hlaing said while looking intently at Aye Aye Lwin's face.

"Yes, I'll investigate."

"Aye Aye Lwin said as he stood up from his chair. The streetlights came on, and the light poured in over the fence.

Da Thet Hlaing stood up.
