The owner of the letter

Lyan Oo Nway was so nervous as he held his hands together and rubbed it. Saung was trying to confess on behalf of him.

"That's me, the one who gave you the letter"

The crowd was taken back for it was Saung Hnin who was one of the top students as well as one of the prettiest girls. Furthermore, the one she gave the love letter to was Maw Oo Yan.

"Humph…. This is not your handwriting, who are you lying to?"

Maw Oo was determined to find the owner of the letter till the end. Saung, like him, had to explain and solve the problems in the class when she was called out by the teacher. As he clearly remembered her handwriting on the letter which wasn't her.

"Why should I lie to you?"

Saung said in a cold tone and glared at him like she didn't do anything wrong.

Maw Oo delivered a lazy smile and looked back at her. When their gazes collided, the atmosphere appeared to erupt in flame.

She was lying. The owner was not her nor was she into him.

Maw Oo's thoughts were scattered and he put down the letters he brought on the desk.

"Do you think one can't examine the handwriting thoroughly? Don't challenge me. I am just too lazy to care about. So quickly tell me who the writer is while I'm in a good mood."

He moved to her face closer and made it clear. He was not threatening her and he just did what he normally does. Due to his stern face, it seemed like he threatened her.

"Umm… it's…it's me, I am the one who wrote the letters"

Everyone turned around to look at him, as his little voice came out. Some of the male classmates seemed to mock him.

He held his hands tightly and bit the lower lip, then said again.

"I wrote those letters… it was truth"

Maw Oo bent his lips and smirked, looking indistinctly at him.

Humph… As he expected. This boy was into him.

It was too easy for him to find out the culprit behind those letters. It was not that he didn't know. It's just that he wanted to make sure. These two really wanted to mess with him.

"Why did you give it to me?"

Maw Oo said in a deep voice as he seemed like he was so lazy to talk about.

"I..I"

Lyan Oo Nway was hesitant and his knees were shaking due to the fright. He thought Maw Oo Yan wanted everyone to know that he was in love with him.

"It was me who asked him to write. Because I'm afraid you might be aware of my handwriting. Plus, he's a better writer than I am."

Saung's interrupted words made Maw Oo nearly laugh. They still were protecting each other. It seem like Saung would be protecting Lyan Oo Nway till the end.

"Hump… Okay, but why?"

She frowned at him and realized that his intention was to expose her.

"Because I like you"

Saung Hnin said word by word and it made everyone whimper among them. This was big news.

"Saung Stop it, the teacher is coming"

Lyan Oo Nway decided to stand at the front and grabbed Saung's hand. He turned to look at Maw Oo.

"I…I'm sorry. It might be a burden for you. That's my fault. It has nothing to do with her. If you're not satisfied, then you can…"

"No, there's nothing like dissatisfaction or punishment. I'm too lazy to care about you. Don't ever do that again"

Normally, Maw Oo was so reserved and he never said any words that can hurt others. One thing for sure was they were crossing his eyes.

Lyan Oo Nway felt his heart was stuck with something sharp. Before this all happened, he thought their relationship was not that bad. It might be his one-sided opinion.

"Oh…..Thanks. There's no more next time for sure. I don't like arrogant people like you."

"Saung!!"

Lyan Oo Nway gritted his teeth and dragged her to the back row. From the perspective of others, it was Saung who was in love with Maw Oo. Only three of them knew the truth.

Starting from that day, they two had to struggle under the sharp glares of the whole school.

Sometimes, if they encountered bully girls who were interested in Maw Oo, they had to go for a quarrel. Saung had a short temper and when she fought back to the girls he had to act as a negotiator between both parties.

Maw Oo Yan obviously avoided him. No, actually he was the one who avoided him as he didn't dare to face. Maw Oo didn't care much about him though.

Since that time, days have gone by and eventually, the final exam has come. This time, he didn't have the courage to ask Maw Oo Yan about the university. Because he knew himself that his marks were too far to catup to Maw Oo Yan's.

The students had to leave when the time was up. On the last day, after he left the exam room, he rushed out to find Maw Oo first rather than his parents. He really wanted to see Maw Oo for the last time.

Maw Oo walked out of the classroom as calmly as ever. For lyan Oo Nway, he was tired and shaking from running. When he saw Maw Oo, his eyes had tears.

"Goodbye Maw Oo Yan, I think we will never meet again"

Maw Oo didn't turn around and got in his black car straight. Only when the back of Maw Oo disappeared from his sight did he got back to the real world.

When he saw his parents were coming to him, he smiled faintly and hugged his mom. He, then, cried hard as this was the end of his first love story.

When Saung asked him if he took pleasure in boys, he shook his head. He wasn't into every guy. He only loved the person called Maw Oo Yan.

After the final exam, he had to practice to calm his mind down. There would be no Maw Oo Yan in his further journey. He just wanted to stare at him. Even though he knew it was a knife that would cut through his heart, he still loved Maw Oo Yan.

As he had nothing to do and he wasn't an outgoing person, he spent his time by only using the computer. Recently, after drinking bubble tea his father bought, he purchased the ingredients and tried to make it at home. His regular customers were only his parents and Saung.

A few months later…

"Lyan Lyan, I just searched out the exam results and we both passed. You even had three distinctions."

Saung was too enthusiastic, shouting and running in front of the house. Lyan Oo Nway was so happy and it could be said that it was the greatest achievement in his entire life. The main thing was he got a lot of help from Saung.

"Really? I was just about to search. How about you? How many distinctions do you get?"

"I got All D"

Saung said in a shy tone. His parents concealed their happiness and went out to buy food, as they wanted to treat them to a good meal.

"You are so smart. I told you, you would get all D. So, will you go to medical university as you said before?"

"Yes, to be honest, I wanted to be in the same school with you"

"No, it's your dream to become a doctor"

"Umm… you must miss me, okay?"

"Alright, I will always miss my monkey, if I don't, who else would?

"Did you call me monkey? By the way, do you want to know Maw Oo's result? That's nothing to be excited about, I think he would be in the whole Burma top ten list."

"Yeah…"

Lyan Oo Nway responded in a low voice. Saung covered her mouth with her hand and looked at him as she felt sorry. He had a hard time forgetting about Maw Oo.

"Sorry"

"It's okay, Umm.. I bought the "One Piece" anime online, do you want to watch it together?"

Lyan Oo Nway was trying to change the topic and Saung followed his way.

"Yes, of course. I like whatever you like. Hey, what about dating with me? If you don't want to be heartbroken, ask me out now. As you know, I am going to be popular when I go to university"

"It's only good to hear that the water in the sea is sweet. You and me? It is not good to hear."

"Humph.. Don't regret it later."

The two laughed together and the bond between them became stronger and stronger.
