Bhamo Tin Aung - Five short stories

Spring in May City

The lovely spring is just beginning to bloom, and the old leaves are falling. Only when these corn leaves fall can new leaves sprout.

The banana leaves have also fallen.

The leaves have also been sorted.

"Wow.. Wow.. Wow" -

The lovely golden oriole is also welcoming spring.

The environment that made Thailand miserable. Ko Khin Maung blamed his environment. He was alone in the whole house, and his wife was not happy. The district governor

The King and Queen Ma Khin Si accompanied Ko Thet Tin to the Kyuntaw Pagoda Festival.

It's true that they are different types of wives. Ko Khin Maung and Ma Mya Mu are a couple who were arranged by both adults. Ko Khin Maung is a musician and writer from the art world. Ma Mya Mu is a girl who likes to have fun and show off. Therefore, they are a different type of husband and wife.

It's really boring under the dull environment. In the past, which is already old...

There is one thing. Rather than being alone and bored in the dull and boring environment of the present, it is better to reminisce about the sweet times and surroundings of the past, which we have grown old and can only remember...

"Last year, in May City, springtime..."

Spring is very lovely in Maymyo. The weather is also cool. The cool, fresh breeze is always playing among the pine and pear trees. In spring, Maymyo is a very pleasant mountain town to live in. When the midday heat is intense, the taste of the cold milk in the refrigerator and the lovely strawberries sold by the beautiful Shan girls is unlike any other.

Ko Khin Maung, who woke up from his afternoon nap, was thinking about the lovely spring in Maymyo while eating strawberries mixed with cold milk. He was an artist who deeply observed the natural beauty of nature. Artists are the kind of people who forget the whole world when they are intoxicated by their artistic surroundings.

"Lovely teacher, May."

May smiled and came towards Khin Maung. Khin Maung was so lost in his thoughts that he asked, "What are you thinking about, Khin Maung... Khin Maung?" while sitting on a chair not far from him.

"Oh... Surama." He was drunk. He was startled. He was surprised. That's why he said to May in an unpoetic manner.

"Yes, assistant," May said with a stern look. In fact, May didn't like it at all when Khin Maung called her "teacher." That's why she called Khin Maung "assistant" and mocked his job by calling him an assistant.

"Oh...maybe," Khin Maung smiled.

May was pouting. They were both young men and women. Ko Khin Maung was a forest ranger in the eastern forest of Katha, and May was a schoolteacher in Mandalay. They both took time off from work to come to Maymyo to get some fresh air because they couldn't stand the summer heat of Katha and Mandalay.

The two of them met in May. The house where they met was Dr. Pe Kyin and Ma Khin Gyi's Pine Villa, also known as the Pine Tree House. Mandalay, Lashio Road, Kyauk

In the south, there are pine trees, but also large bamboo trees, beautifully planted.

Dr. Pe Kyin was a close friend of Ko Khin Maung, and Ma Khin Gyi was a classmate of May. The two of them soon became close after they had graduated from high school. Ko Khin Maung had only studied (B.Sc. Forestry) but was an artist called (Art). He was very fond of music and literature. His monthly salary was only for books and musical instruments. His study room was filled with about three thousand books. His bedroom also had a variety of instruments, from a German-made piano to a mouth-blown bergamot.

May plays the piano very well. She can also sing majestic old songs with great rhythm. I must have forgotten one more thing. Literature, both English and Burmese... May is very fond of both of these literatures.

The bridge of music and literature and art connected the two of them in a way that they had never been before. When they arrived at the Pine Tree Inn, about 15 days later, they received a message that Ko Fe Kyin's mother was very ill in Mawlamyine, so they were escorted to Mawlamyine by a housekeeper. The two of them laughed at the Pine Tree Inn. The two servants lived in a small hut, just a short walk from the main house.

"Are you angry, Ko Khin Maung... Oh, May?" Ko Khin Maung asked with a smile. "May is done too."

"Ko Khin Maung is just one kind of person," May complained in a low voice.

"I'm a forest dweller, because I have to work in the forest and mountains."

“Don’t brag, Khin Maung, I know you’re a forest dweller.”

Khin Maung laughed in delight.

“Oh.. more than that... I didn’t get to hear the song Ye Shwe Ruik Keal by Yodaya, which I played with the piano last night, so I’ll be playing it tonight.”

May nodded and promised.

May nodded her head, which was so cute. Khin Maung was watching this with great attention. As he watched, he started to imagine.

Yes.
