Chapter - 14 - Issue of drunk driving…
Saturday morning..
Wine woke up at 5:00 am.
He washed his face, ready to run out for morning exercises. After the schedule was stable, he started his work out plan again.
"Wait for me. I will follow you to work out.."
Anawar was also woken up by his alarm clock. The alarm disturbed the sleep of roommates but they opened one eye and fell back to the dream land again.
"Is there a way to burn fat quickly without exercise or diet control?"
Zaw Min asked without even opening his eyes from the bed. He had a plump body and some pimples because of hormones. It was difficult to lose weight with his lack of persistence and motivation.
"Good question!! I don't know. Maybe you can burn it physically.."
"Fuck!! I treated you as a brother but you treated me like this."
"Heehee.."
Wine ran out of the dorm laughing. Anawar followed him closely. They ran 2 laps around the College wall.
"Let's go eat something in the downtown area."
Wine glared at him with a look of 'I knew it'. He can't wait to spend money all the time.
"My pocket is clean.."
"I know you don't have money in your pocket. Let's go, my treat.."
"Ugh .."
Helpless… Wine had to follow beside him as he was hugged and pulled forward by strong arms.
They found a relatively clean and lively teashop in the downtown area. A waiter comes running as soon as they take a seat.
"What are your orders?"
"What do you have?"
"Tea, tea mix, coffee, coffee mix, milk, juices…. As for the food, we have fried dough sticks, Samosa, fried bread with eggs, baozi, fried rice, rice and noodles salads and some snacks made with sticky rice."
This shop had more variety than he thought.
"I think you should just stick to milk."
"You are calling me short."
Wine thinks twice and agrees. Since he was short, why not?
"The milk must be diluted, right?"
The waiter smiled without talking back but he ordered milk anyway. Even if the milk was diluted, it was still cow milk. The result must be reduced but not disappeared.
Anawar ordered a cup of tea, a plate of baozi and two servings of fried bread with eggs.
"Is the tea cial(special) or normal?"
"Cial .. with evaporated milk."
"Ok. Please wait a moment.."
The waiter left in high spirits. The orders arrived in a few minutes, except for the fried bread with eggs. It took seven minutes to arrive on the table, steaming. Overall, the service was good.
"The milk is ..indeed, diluted..."
"The tea is not bad. Take a sip from my cup."
The taste was surprisingly good. The tea they used must be high quality.He gave Anawar a thumbs up.
He thought, with the strange dishes from the dining hall, the food culture of this town would be at the level of not so difficult to swallow. He didn't expect that his judgement was wrong.
"Do you think the teashop they arranged to meet today is this place?"
"It should be.. There is a cinema, see?"
On the opposite side, he could see the cinema. A huge poster was pasted on the board beside the doors.
"I don't like watching movies."
Wine said, biting the baozi in his mouth. He looked at the poster and felt disappointment. This movie must be about a rich girl and poor boy. He could see the whole story just by looking at the poster.
"Why?"
Anawar took a sip of tea and returned the question. He knew Wine wanted to talk about some of his ideas and he also wanted to know more about him..
"I wanted to read the book more than watch the movie. You know.. the protagonists in my imagination are better than the casts. Most of the actors and actresses didn't match my beauty standards."
Anawar nodded. He also felt the actors and actresses are not as good as Wine, not just his beauty standards.
His body tilted towards Anawar, lowered his voice and said mysteriously..
"The directors interpreted the rape scenes as the flies in the spider webs, the deer eaten by the tiger and the flower pot on the bedside table broken. Then, the actress was pregnant. I mean, I don't want to see the rape scenes in direct way but isn't it too much to use these in all movies? I know about the censorship and other factors involved but can't they use more creative ways? I heard some children thought they were pregnant because they broke the flower pots accidentally while playing."
They both laughed. If you think about it this way, it was really funny. Moreover, it really did happen.
In a small village, a girl was assigned to clean the male teacher's room by the villagers as he lived beside her house. Whenever the teacher was outside, she went to clean the room and washed his clothes.
One day, her mother found her vomiting and asked her what happened. She said she was pregnant. When the elders of the village asked her who the father of the child was, she said it was the teacher.
The teacher was nearly beaten by the angry villagers because he refused to admit the crime. The teacher was very angry and asked her when he did the deed with her.
Then she answered "He didn't." The flower pot beside the teacher's bed was broken by her while she was cleaning the room and she thought she must be pregnant. She saw it in the movies. When the village's nurse came to examine her, the truth was out. Turns out, indigestion.
The male teacher nearly fainted due to excessive stimulation.You can see how the movies can mislead the ignorant people.
"There is another one. Drunk driving… The rich master came home drunk, not knowing north or south. The maid supported the master into the bedroom. He can't even stand or walk but he can force the maid to sleep. And he knew nothing after he woke up… It was amazing how he did it and if that thing can get up in this situation. Can his thing drive when he is dead drunk?"
Anawar was looking at Wine's face with a smile, supporting his chin with the hands.
"Yes, it's worth pondering."
"You also think I am right, right? I tried once, but I couldn't get up after I got drunk. What about you?"
Anawar wanted to laugh. As he stayed longer beside him, he felt that he liked him more.
"Hmm… I will try later. Can I drive when I get drunk….? It will be known if we try it ourselves, right?"
Wine nodded. But he can't help but think Anawar's tone was a bit weird. He got goosebumps out of nowhere…
