Thawtar Swe - Ma Khin Hnin Si

I opened the blanket, stretched my arms, and yawned with delight...

"Oh..come on"

The student, who always listens to his teacher's footsteps while doing household chores, enters my bedroom with a gentle, cat-like step...

"Teacher..."

I turned my back on my right side and looked at the clock on the table...

"Oh...it's already 6 pm?"

Pao Oo stood beside my bed, arms crossed, and in a calm voice,

"It's 6 a.m., sir."

"Ah..."

I had been sleeping after breakfast, and when I suddenly felt a sudden surprise, I rolled over onto my back and saw the yellow sun shining at my feet, and I smiled.

"On the rise"

"Teacher"

"Thank you for teasing me like this when I first woke up, teacher."

However, Pao Oo kept his face straight...

"I'm not joking, sir."

I smiled again..

"On the rise"

"Teacher"

"I think you're not drunk enough on me yet."

"I'm a little drunk, but I'll leave it at that."

"But I can see the sunlight from my seventh eye."

Yet his behavior still doesn't seem to be giving in..

"Yes...teacher"

I have to open it.

"Here you go"

"Teacher"

"Do Burmese people sleep with their heads facing east or west?"

"To the east, sir."

"After all... Banuraza Peacock is not a typical Western peacock, sir."

"Oh...sorry, even the wise are rarely careful."

I said in a calm, controlled voice...

"So, let's take a look here."

I showed him the pure golden sunlight shining from my feet.

"I'm drunk, Pao-oo."

However, Pao Oo's face remained unchanged.

"But right now, the bedspread at your feet isn't clear enough to notice, sir."

When he said that, I suddenly saw...

"Oh...I'm sleeping with the head of the bed and the feet of the bed wrong."

"Yes...sir, I'll take the pillow and give it to you, sir, since I'm lying around."

"Hey..so I'll sleep through the day and night, today is not yesterday anymore, okay?"

Whiskey, whiskey... Scotch whiskey. Yesterday, I got drunk at the Railway Hotel, celebrating the engagement of my friend Tin Aung Lwin and his wife. I couldn't control my temper.

I remember saying goodbye to everyone on my way back from the train hotel and getting on the bus, and it was now 6 am and yesterday 6 pm, so it was different.

When I woke up, my head was still spinning..

"Hey...come on"

"Teacher"

"I must have been drinking Frusal."

"Here, I've prepared it, sir."

Some people say that they were drunk the previous day and that drinking more alcohol will make their headache go away and they will continue to feel the same drunkenness. But when I drank, I wanted another drink and didn’t want to get drunk the next day. I didn’t want to feel the same old drunkenness, so I just washed my stomach out. Or if I have a habit of drinking continuously, my hands and feet will shake as soon as the alcohol in my stomach runs out.

I took the laxative that Pao Oo had prescribed and went back to bed. After a while, Pao Oo brought me a pot of bitter coffee without milk.

I sat up and drank my coffee, not hot, but lukewarm...

"On the rise"

"Did you get any letters from me yesterday?"

"No, sir."

"What about telephone calls?"

"A phone call just this morning, sir."

"From whom?"

"Teacher, Aunty Myasi Teacher"

“Oh... Auntie Mya, what are you talking about?”

"If you want to talk to me, try calling me when I wake up."

"Should I make a phone call, sir?"

"Wait...wait"

I suddenly had an idea.

"I'll go to him in person, and we'll have breakfast there."

"Okay, sir."

Think about it, friend. After you've finished eating, don't you want to eat good rice and good curry? Where is good rice and good curry in this world? Ask me, Aunty Mya's house is the home of their famous "Tony" cooks.

I think I've told you about Chef Tony many times. But let me elaborate a little. If I could describe in words how good Tony's cooking is, I would never be able to eat a full meal at the table he prepares, but I would like to have a hole drilled in my back and have the food piped out. It's so delicious. You understand, my friend.

“If you have the money, you can have as many diamonds and gems as you want, Maung Swe. If you have a good cook like Tony, you should go to Burma and find a cart full of rubies.”

These are Auntie Mya's words. I support this without exception.

Therefore

"On the rise"

"Teacher"

"Get the car ready for me to go."

Here, Pao Oo adjusted his posture a little..

"No car, sir."

"Oh...where are you going?"

"I sent it for service yesterday, as it had 500 miles on it. I'll get it this evening."

"Oh...my God"

My car is driven every 500 miles and the dealer is responsible for cleaning the engine and repairing any defects.

So, at around 10 am, I felt light-headed, and after taking a shower, I had to take a rickshaw instead of my own car and head to the bus terminal.

As soon as I entered Aunty Mya's house, it was like signing a contract to dance with Ma Khin Hnin Si in the love story of the two lovers, the notebooks of the King's brother, Tin Aung Lwin, whom I had never met or heard of before.

( B)

When I arrived at Aunty Mya's house, the first person I saw was Aunty Mya's husband, U Gyi Chit. However, U Gyi Chit didn't see me. He turned his back to me and was interested in the things in his closet.

Here, for the next story, I will introduce my uncle Chit Pao. When rich people get old, they tend to pursue something, and my uncle's hobby is finding and buying antiques. He is always busy with this. He looks at the things he has received. When someone comes to the house and shows them one by one, he doesn't think about whether the other person is happy or not. He even forgets to eat. In this kind of thing, even a person like me doesn't get enough.

So, to escape his harm, I slowly stepped inside.

If you see the maid...

"Hey..where is Auntie Mya?"

"Koko in his office"

Oh..what is Auntie Mya doing in her office? I'll tell you. I must have told you this to a friend before. So I don't think I need to elaborate. My Auntie
