Min Swe - Blood

“Yamuna. The wind at the foot of the river, The gentle call of the human being, The delightful .. but the lonely ... The golden pair of birds, The happy couple In the river, the young goldfish, they jump in the net, They are full of longing, They are full of longing, They are full of longing. In the sand, the pair of birds, They are happy to be together, They are happy to be together, They are flying around. The sand is not far away, It is hard to think of a way to ... "

The gentle, sweet melody of the piano, played with mastery, melodiously, meanders along the banks of Yangon's Kandawgyi. It seems to help restore the original beauty and charm of the prestigious upper class, the Ring Road.

There weren't many houses around that place. Two large white houses, seemingly breathing in the serenity of the lake and the fresh air blowing over the water, stood in their own neat and clean yards and courtyards.

However, the two fences are not very close to each other, and a small hill about the width of a bamboo grove marks the border.

There is no sign on the right side of the building, but on the left side of the building there is a sign that says (U Shwe Hla I.So, K. S. M, retired judge of the Maungdaw Court). The owners of that sign have recently moved in, so they don’t know anything about the right side of the building, and the people on the right side of the building don’t know anything about the left side of the building. However… Just as in the original right side of the building, a handsome young man, probably 29-30 years old, can be seen walking around the yard from time to time, in the new left side of the building, a clean, white, and young woman who looks like she is in her 20s can be seen if you look carefully.

The sound of the child singing the song "Sita Thaung Ke Pa Kyaw" mixed with the piano also came from the left side of the island, so in keeping with the verse "Tabaung Ta Ku... Moe Tha Kyu...", it was at that time when the whole sky was covered with clouds and thunder began to rumble, as the moon was beginning to move.

At that moment, a second-hand private car drove into the courtyard, and a young woman got out of the car, looked up and called out, "Khin Mya Mya... Khin Mya Mya," and ran upstairs.

"Khin Mya Mya is really busy."

As he spoke, he hugged the young woman who seemed interested in the piano from behind. The young woman, Khin Mya Mya, suddenly turned around as if startled and looked at him.

"Oh... don't worry, it's just now coming. I'm so happy to see you," he said happily, hugging her back.

“Khin Mya Mya is very good at singing, she is very good at listening. And the singing is so good…”

He said, smiling and sitting down by the piano.

"That's too much to bear. Didn't you just arrive in Kaman Kadan by car? Where will you hear more?"

“Did you hear that, Mya? Da... I’ve been on the other side of the world for over an hour. Da has been listening to you from start to finish. Actually, I came here because I thought that Khin Mya and I had moved to the old Kandawgyi and we were going to go and visit. But since it was near my family’s house, I thought it would be better if I didn’t go there first. Oh, Mya, I’ve been feeling a bit bored ever since you moved to Chachi Road.”

"Wait a minute... Is that the great land of the gods? I just came from there. If so, how much fun would it be if they all gathered here? I would be very happy..."

“Come on... try playing a piece, sing a song. Oh... I think the piano is new. What about the old one...?”

As Da Mu was examining the piano with his finger, Khin Mya Mya turned to the piano.

“The first one was sold for 35 baht. This one was bought by Ko Ko Tin from England. This big one also arrived here. So I sold the old one for a pittance. In his letter, he said this one is worth about 1,000.”

“Oh... Mya's brother-in-law really wants me. He's studying well there. I think he'll be back soon.” “Yes... let's say 3 months. Now, what song do you want to listen to? Mya will play it for you,” Khin Mya Mya said, leaning closer to the piano and touching it with her small, white fingers.

"Don't mention Nay Oo Mya....Lum Po Aung, Pu Pong Pan. That Yen Ntha Oo also has things like "Did you kill Me?""

"What do you do with these? It doesn't matter. A spicy person is spicy. These are the most delicious things in music."

“Yes, of course... but Ko Myint from the other side doesn’t like it. When I heard Mya playing the piano... there was a piano on the other side. The song Mya was singing just now included “Fok Kwa Tu Wun Phan” and “Lyun Le Pu Pong Aa Ka Kone”. He blamed that. He said that the Burmese people like this kind of music very much, maybe because there are few things to play. They sing so much that the Burmese people are so sad and angry that they are now crying and fighting. But he didn’t criticize Mo. It’s a hobby that Burmese people like. He praised Mo’s voice and playing style a lot. Cool... Now I asked my brother Ko Myint from the other side to listen to him.” Khin Mya Mya raised her hands and looked at Tha Mu’s face carefully, listening to him.

"What the hell... what kind of music do you want to listen to?"

"No wonder... he likes titles like throne, king, and monk."

"Oh... so, aside from the high-end songs, I guess you're interested in listening to music and meditating."

"It's not just about having a hobby. When it comes to instruments, he's a man who's a sucker for old songs. He even has a piano."

"Oh... he has it too. Why wouldn't he play? So he must be good at it."

“Sometimes you will hear it. His grand piano is turned to face this window. His grand harp is placed on a stand and covered with velvet.” Khin Mya Mya is not very skilled, except for being able to sing and play 14-5 old songs.
