Red Eagle - Begging for rice by showing a monkey

Begging for rice by showing a monkey

"I didn't know these girls were bad at first, but now I know that these girls are just begging for money. If you get my stuff back, it's over. If you get the bracelet and necklace I gave you back, it's over. So, you go ahead and ask for it..."

Ko Htun Aung is a good person, and that's why I wanted to give him the help he needed.

However, helping him was not easy. In his case, he was a simple man who was treated like a nobody because he was a bachelor. The way it happened was not strange. Ko Htun Aung was a senior clerk in a department. Khin Saw Phyu was a typewriter clerk in their office.

Ko Tun Aung followed Khin Saw Phyu. He was honest and followed her. Later, he learned that Khin Saw Phyu was a prostitute who seduced men and ate them. At that time, Ko Tun Aung wanted to get back the gold bracelet and gold necklace that Khin Saw Phyu had given him. To achieve this, he came to me and asked for help.

"You said it was easy. But it's not easy for you to ask for something you already gave without a physical body. Is it because you gave it to someone with a physical body..."

"Well, let's keep it short, I'll just pay the next bribe. What evidence do you have?"

"So how do I ask for it back?"

"At first he said he would take me. I believed him. The whole office knew that we liked each other. Later, the office manager said he couldn't take me and wouldn't accept me. In fact, the office manager was trying to take over the girl..."

"Let me keep this.., what's the point of asking for it back?"

"I did it because they said they would take me... - If they don't take me now, they'll have to pay me back..."

"Dude... if it's that easy, why did you bring me here to do it? What's the point of me doing it?"

“Well... he's a bit of a weirdo, but his mother is quite ordinary. She's also very shy. That's why she's so afraid of being in the news or in magazines. So if you come and tell her, she'll write a letter saying she knows about them, so if you ask her to do it, she'll get it. If she doesn't, she'll have to tell me that she'll put it in a magazine or a newspaper...”

I thought for a long time about whether it was possible or impossible. But, regardless of whether it was possible or impossible, I had a duty to help Ko Htun Aung, so I asked Khin Saw Phyu when he would visit.

"Sunday is the best, I'll pick you up early on Sunday morning..."

On Sunday morning, Ko Htun Aung arrived at my place earlier than expected. We went to Thein Gyi Market and took an Insein bus to Kamaryut, where Khin Saw Phyu lived. We got off at the top of the road at Kamaryut Station and took a rickshaw to Khin Saw Phyu's house. Khin Saw Kyu lived south of the station.

It was a house where only two people lived, so it was not too big or too small, but it was a small yard and a separate house. Later, it was learned that Khin Saw Phyu and his family were tenants and only rented the ground floor. The landlord lived upstairs.

The courtyard is also beautiful with lovely flowers. The house is also a wooden house. The living room is about 8 feet by 12 feet. Although the polish has faded a little, it is neatly furnished with new rattan chairs and tables. On the glass-covered table in the middle of the living room is a small glass vase filled with beautiful, unknown flowers. On the walls of the room, in a rustic style, various sizes of framed photos are hung in random order.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Khin Saw Phyu. Khin Saw Phyu seemed a little surprised to see Ko Htun Aung unexpectedly. However, without losing her composure, she greeted Ko Htun Aung and made him sit down. Although it was early in the morning, Khin Saw Phyu was already neatly dressed. I also thought that she was a more beautiful and charming girl than Ko Htun Aung had said. Although she was a little short, she had a slim body that matched her height. Her skin was not too fair and not too dark, and she was Burmese. She had a thin nose, thin lips, and even teeth. Her figure was not strange. Her makeup was also simple. This is why she seemed more beautiful. She was also more charming. I could not believe that a girl like her would do everything as Ko Htun Aung had said.

"Where did you turn up so early?"

Although he was small, his voice was not very small. His voice was a little firm, and although it was not pleasant, it was not so hard that it was difficult to hear. As for me, I was so focused on Khin Saw Phyu that I could not pay attention to anything else.

“I just came here,” Ko Tun Aung replied to Khin Saw Phyu. Then, pointing at me, he introduced me by saying, “This is the writer Lingyoneni…”

Khin Saw Phyu smiled at me. I realized that there was no dirty meaning in his smile. I even thought that his smile was pure and clean.

"I've read the letter. I've only just seen the person."

I smiled back and acknowledged him. Since I was a new guest, he showed me more consideration and personally took the cigarette pack from the table and offered it to me.

He came over and offered me some. I replied that I had some and put his cigarette pack back on the table.

Khin Saw Phyu sat down in the chair next to me and asked me carefully. I looked at Ko Tun Aung's face. Ko Tun Aung had already asked me to take the lead in his case since we were in the car. So I took a cigarette out of my pack, lit it, and started talking without looking at Khin Saw Phyu's face.

“The matter is about Ko Tun Aung. He needs a gold bracelet and a necklace from Ma Khin Saw Kyu. I had to come after he asked me to come.”

I pulled my upper lip down and pushed my lower lip out, blowing smoke out of my mouth, making it hit my eyes, and then I looked at Khin Saw Phyu's face. Khin Saw Phyu was looking at Ko Htun Aung's face.

"That's the thing."

I briefly concluded the matter as I was leaving. Then Khin Saw Phyu turned to me and answered my question.

"This matter is already settled, hasn't it been made clear a long time ago? He knows that his belongings are not in our hands..."

Khin Saw Phyu looked at me with a look of disgust and hatred, and I felt quite sad because of that.

“What do you mean it’s not in our hands?” I didn’t understand, so I had to ask again. Ko Htun Aung didn’t say anything about this either.

"He knows what he's pawning, and he knows we can't get it back."

I looked at Ko Tun Aung's face. Ko Tun Aung looked back at me as if apologizing for not telling me about this. I felt responsible and asked Khin Saw Phyu again.

"Why can't I choose again?"

"The interest rate has been going up because I've been holding the mortgage for so long. My salary is not enough to feed my two children. How can I repay this?"

Just then, the voice of a woman who valued looks as much as she did beauty emerged.

“But since Ma Khin Saw Phyu promised to marry me, if Ma Khin Saw Phyu and I break our promise, he has the right to take back the property he gave us.”

“Oh..” Khin Saw Phyu glared at Ko Tun Aung and me.
