The Beautiful way [Translation from Burmese]

The White

She was a good girl. A beautiful Karen girl.
With simple rubber slippers.
She was the cherry-picked student for this tuition. She was in Class A at school.
She was almost always silent. We examined assessment before her daily lessons from the tutor.
This is what I learned about her on the first day. From the first sentence, I was captivated. I was paying attention to her.
On the way back from tuition, when the dogs barked at her in the dark of night, I repelled all dogs and I felt like a hero. Our friends started kidding us. I felt sorry for her.

One day I told her through a friend that I wanted to be her friend.  She says she can be friends with me.
I prayed that her heart would be like mine and that my heart would be like hers.
So I'm glad she was in our tuition.
There is no internet in our time.  I snuck out of her house on a school holiday.  Because I hope to glimpse her.

Every day, on the way home from tuition, we sang together with our friends.  I'm so excited when they sing Isani's Let Me Be Forever.
