Snow White and a dwarf

Today was a school holiday for them. Lyan Oo Nway was still restless after he left the club yesterday. Although he was certain Maw Ou Yan was the one who kissed him, he believed Maw Oo Yan did so while he was tipsy and unconscious. He prayed that Maw Oo Yan wouldn't recall yesterday's event.

He was concerned that the relationship he had worked so hard to establish would be destroyed if Maw Oo Yan discovered they had shared a kiss. He then started to worry more after Maw Oo informed him that he wanted to enjoy milk pudding at the weekend but he still hadn't shown up. That anxiety finally vanished only when Maw Oo called him.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?"

"At the shop, helping out my mom. And you?"

"I'm outside the shop. You told me that you would make milk pudding for me. Did you forget?"

"No, I don't. I thought you were the one who forgot about it. I'll come out in a minute. Wait for me."

"Okay."

He swiftly left after hanging up the phone with the morning's self-made milk pudding in hand.

From the front of the store, a young man is waving. He towered above everyone around him by a head. The body is robustly constructed and tightly packed. Maw Oo Yan appeared to be a well-groomed young man with white complexion and clean hair.

"Have you been here for a while?"

"I've just arrived."

"Here you are. For you."

Recalling all the events that occurred last night, Lyan Oo Nway bowed his head because it made him flush. Maw Oo Yan grinned gleefully as he handed him the tiny bottle he had brought.

"Do you have time?"

"Yes, I have. What's the matter?"

"Let's go to Inya lake."

When Maw Oo Yan called, Lyan Oo Nway nodded and trailed after. There were a few people on the deck because it was late at night, but not many. They took a seat on a deserted bench. The moment Lyan Oo Nway turned to face Maw Oo, he noticed a small swelling at the corner of his lips.

"What happened to your lips?"

Lyan Oo Nway asked him with a small voice. He seemed like he felt sorry for Maw Oo Yan.

"My father punched me cause I came home late last night."

After casually remarking, Maw Oo ate a spoonful of the milk pudding that Lyan Oo Nway had provided. His mouth eventually filled with the mild, pleasant taste. He felt softness and full of satisfaction when he placed it on his tongue.

"Your homemade milk pudding is incredibly tasty."

He said while smiling at him. Lyan Oo Nway felt an abrupt heart throbbing.

"I'm glad you like it."

"I really like it."

"I'll make it again if you like it."

"Alright."

That day, he talked with Maw Oo Yan till late at night. There were only the two of them. They both had diverse tastes, but I got the impression that they were open to hearing each other out. That particular moment was a gift from God to Lyan Oo Nway.

"The prom is approaching, but our class is doing nothing?"

" No. We did nothing for the past proms either."

"Teacher Johnny said that we have to do something for this year. You think about it. One of the seniors from second year will sing a song. It is said that one performance from each academic year must be registered."

The classmates were attentive to the discussion between Ngwe Laryi and Thone Thone. When it came to art, Lyan Oo Nway couldn't even compose a rhyming poem. Thus, he didn't take part in the discussion and listened quietly.

"How about doing a play? The whole class can join in the play."

Yee mon cut in. There were only 14 people in their class so that everyone can participate in a play.

"Who's gonna write the play? If there's someone who will write it, everything's okay."

Finally, a drama that would be performed with a group effort had emerged. It was a new version of Snow White in a satire sense. After Snow White fell in love with the prince, she had to flee from the witch and ran into the seven dwarfs.

Until that point, it went according to the original play. But after that, Snow White found herself falling in love with the youngest dwarf once more. After eating the poisoned apple of the witch, she fell into unconsciousness. Although the prince kissed her, she didn't wake up. The six dwarfs kissed her alternatively, yet she didn't open her eyes. She finally recovered consciousness only when the youngest dwarf kissed him. After that, they lived together the rest of their lives.

Eventually, it was the day of the festival after everything had been arranged. For the play, Lyan Oo Nway had to portray the youngest dwarf. To do this, he dressed in a thick yellow robe, loose-fitting brown pants, and a long green cap. He had to take a picture and deliver it to Saung Hnin because she wanted to see him. He had to endure her boisterous laughter for twenty minutes as she viewed the photo on her phone.

"Lyan Lyan, what are you wearing?"

The three young men came to him and Thu Rain said these words.

"What can I say? I just wore it when they gave it to me".

Lyan Oo Nway lowered his head and replied. He didn't want them to see him in that dress.

"Are you going to act in a play?

When Nay Htoo asked, he nodded.

"What role will you play? Is it a dwarf?"

"Yes"

Nita asked him with naughty voice and after he answered him back, there was an announcement for a singing performance.

After four rounds of singing performances, he asked Nita.

"Where is Maw Oo?"

"I heard he will play piano. Maybe he is in the lounge, I think. Doesn't he tell you anything?"

"No"

"Go and find him if you want"

He nodded and left the place. When he got to the lounge, Maw Oo Yan was half naked and sat on the desk confused. It was strange for Lyan Oo Nway to see him like that, so he rushed and asked him.

"Maw Oo, What's wrong?"

He looked back to him and raised a cloth he was holding. It was wrinkled and looked bad. In one glance at a black silk cloth, it could tell it was one of the famous products, but silk didn't look good if it had wrinkles.

"It was good when I took it from my home. I went to restroom for a while and it became like that when I came back"

Lyan Oo Nway took his shirt and felt confused. Maw Oo Yan was still beside him, glancing without a word.

"Is there an iron here?"

"Yes, over there. But I don't know how to do it"

"I will do it. Go get a tower to cover you up first, If not you will catch a cold."

"Okay"

As for Maw Oo Yan, although a cloth was destroyed by chance, it was not difficult for him to get a new one. The one who made it looked like that was him after all.

He just gazed at the boy who was ironing for him on the table. Suddenly there was a message entered to his phone and looked at the message.

(I'm here. Where are you?)

The sender's name was Mary.

(I'll come pick you up right away.)

In his mind, he felt that they were a perfect match rather than loving that girl. That's why he treated her well.

"I'm going out."

"You'll get your shirt in a minute."

"I'll wear it when I'm back. I'm afraid it would wrinkle."

"Oh, then I'll fold it for you."

"Thanks."

He folded the garment perfectly and placed it on the table when Maw Oo left. He waited for a while for Maw Oo Yan to arrive, but he never appeared, so he went back to the hallway as his class kept calling.

They stepped onto the stage when the presenter signalled that it was their group play's turn and they

Given the fact that it was a comedy, he continued to search for someone among the audience who were laughing out loud. He was unsure if he was present.

"Why doesn't Snow White wake up yet?"

Thone Thone, who was acting as a dwarf, asked a question.

"How about we also give it a try? If Snow White wakes up with a kiss from one of us, he will have to get married to her. What do you all think?"

Another dwarf was Yee Mon and in place of Snow White, Ngwe Laryi was responsible for the part. Because they were so good at acting that they were totally different from their usual selves, even the headmaster was laughing till his shoulders were shaking.

"I'll kiss first."

"I'm the oldest. If you want to kiss, line up behind me."

"No, I was the one who gave the idea."

"How about this? We are always arranged in ascending order. Now, in a descending order, let's start from the youngest."

They all queued up behind the smallest dwarf, the drowsy little dwarf, after the sixth dwarf presented his suggestion and received confirmation. The prince sitting next to him was similarly heartbroken for Snow White and gaping open-mouthed. She didn't awaken, though, when he kissed her.

As the other dwarves were getting ready to kiss Snow White, the youngest dwarf, Lyan Oo, kissed her. He halted an inch from her lips while merely acting. People screaming loudly behind him could be heard. Anyway, Lyan Oo Nway has gained some level of fame and notoriety after joining Maw Oo's group.

"My turn."

The sixth dwarf pushed Lyan Oo Nway and about to do the same action, Snow White gained consciousness.

"Ko Ko Pu."

When Ngwe Laryi awoke, turned to face him, and addressed him, the entire audience erupted in laughter. The youngest dwarf and Snow White eventually enjoyed a happy ending. Maw Oo didn't arrive till he left the stage. He stepped out after getting dressed and met Nitta and the three of them.

"Finally, Snow White is married to you."

"Are you all watching?"

"Only I. They two were dazed at the models practizing for the runaway so they missed your show."

Nitta answered his question. Then, Nay Htoo put one hand on Nitta's shoulder and said one thing.

"Snow White and the dwarf only fell in love in the play. The dwarf has no chance if it's real life."

He spoke and he pointed somewhere. Lyan Oo Nway looked at the place and his pupils constricted.

The one who came through the door was no one else. It was Maw Oo Yan, and the young woman holding his hand was Mary, an actress who is now well-known. She was wearing a purple satin cami dress that glittered and draped about her knees.

Additionally, the shirt Maw Oo was wearing was not the one he had ironed. He wasn't wearing a black silk shirt; instead, he was donning a purple shirt with golden threads dangling from his chest to his shoulders which made him pure and gorgeous.

I had just now realized what Nay Htoo had stated. The only time a dwarf and Snow White ended up together was in the play.
