Chapter - 26 - Weekend
"Do you want a needle and some thread too, Anawar?"
"No. I have a lot of underwear. You don't need to worry. I will just throw them away if they ripped apart."
"Oh.. prodigal.."
Anawar turned down Wine's offer to give him a needle and thread. Thankfully, he had a habit of wearing underwear.
Most of the boys didn't have the habit of wearing underwear. Parents didn't guide the children in their adolescent period. Well, mothers guided the girls in an obscure way and girls were too shy to listen carefully.
Sexual education was non-existence here. Most of the children grew up in this way without guidance from parents. The ones who guided them were elder cousins and friends. Blood related family members didn't talk about things related to sex.
This is where the problems arise. The girls didn't know having sex without protection could result in being pregnant. Some of the boys knew it but didn't know how to take protective measures. As they were curious and tasted the forbidden fruit, they buried the timed bomb together.
It resulted in underage marriage, abortion and suicide. They are just a minority but could be heard from time to time.
And..yes
They didn't learn it in school. There is no sexual education in the curriculum. Even if this subject is in the curriculum, no teacher will be willing to teach this subject.
8 out of 10 female teachers were spinsters and 4 out of 10 male teachers were old bachelors. Even they themselves didn't have much knowledge about sexual issues. Even if someone had this kind of knowledge, they wouldn't destroy their majesty by teaching this subject.
Both the parents and teachers regarded sexual education as shameful to talk about with their children.
So, it is not surprising that boys didn't have underwear or disliked wearing underwear because they felt it restricted their brother's breathing and freedom.
Also, girls in development felt shameful too. Girls who developed faster became hunchbacks as they were afraid of their chest standing out. City dwellers were fine but girls from rural areas had to wear the ill fitting bras of the elders. This leads to the girls' confidence weaned as their bodies develop.
This included Wine in his previous life. He knew the wonders of female's bodies only in late 20. The Internet taught him about periods, cramps and ovulation days. Thank you, internet…
The English teacher was pronouncing the phonetic symbols in front of the blackboard. Well, this teacher was a female, single. She was still young, around 25 years old. Wine heard she got the job just after graduation.
She had a sweet smile and small body frame. This English teacher, music and dance teacher and painting teacher were goddesses of the male trainees as they were young and beautiful. The best point is they are singles.
They were just transferred this year. This batch of trainees were lucky.
Speaking of which, phonetics are quite interesting.
"/jin/ /jin/ /tu:n/.. It's the teacher's name, Yin Yin Htun.."
"Hehe… we can use it as a secret code."
"Well, phonetics can prevent others from mispronunciation. Our names are quite difficult for foreigners to pronounce."
"It's not like we can fill the forms in phonetics for foreigners.."
Classmates whispered among themselves. Phonetics are useful but not that useful.
After English class, the painting teacher came in. This female teacher, called Zar Cho, was the dream lover of traditional males. Her body shape couldn't be called guitar shape, rather could be called red ant shape.
She was tall amongst girls. Her waist was very small and her butt was round and very big. The ratio should be around 32,22,40. Wine could measure it with his eyes thanks to his past life job.
Don't talk about innate men, even Wine, the acquired man wondered if this waist would be broken with a tight hug.
What a sin!!!
Wine mattered "Namo tatha" in his mind to cleanse the strayed thoughts. Even his mind was affected this much, the wild guys in the class would be drooled over like fools. Wine sneaked a look around the male classmates. No drool but they were smiling like fools..
When his eyes fell on Anawar, he found that Anawar was looking at him. He was frowning and looking at Wine with a dark face. Wine guessed he was also affected by the history teacher's lethal charm, or not?
'Mental patient's thoughts would be different.' Wine thought:
Painting class was the last class for today. Painting, practical science, P.E, music and handicraft classes were rotated in five days as the first class and last class. Actually, P.E class was a free class in a sense. The P.E teacher was sitting behind the table and trainees were doing whatever they wanted. Of course, they can't be noisy..
As usual, they took the battle bath, ran towards the dining hall, flirted a little with the female trainees who were sitting at the same dining table and came back to the dorm and rolled on the bed.
Oh, flirting a little meant glancing at the girls frequently. They weren't bold enough to tease or confess yet.
Wine rolled on the bed in a daze. The repeated days made him tired and adapted at the same time. On the weekend, he still doesn't know what to do. He wanted to go to the library but the library was closed on the weekend. On the weekdays, the library was open but he wasn't free.
"Bros, what are you doing tomorrow?"
Wine asked his roommates. He was bored staying at the dorm but still didn't want to do group activities. It was just limited to asking.
"Should we carry the juniors?"
Zaw Min asked Htin Lin in response to Wine's question.
"Should we?"
"We were also carried by our seniors before. Of course, we should!!"
"Heehee…"
Not knowing why, Wine got goosebumps from their weird conversation.
"It's ok. I'm just asking."
"No..no..no, youngest. We decided to carry the juniors to the knowledge bank. Heehee…"
"But… Why is your laugh so obscene?"
Looking at the scared Wine, the seniors started laughing in weird ways.
"But you can't tell others, especially teachers, tutors and dorm heads.."
"I don't want to know now.."
Wine rejected their offer decisively. Listening to the obscene laughs, their knowledge bank could be anything but decent.
However, Wine's rejection didn't mean juniors rejection. Myo Ko and Kyaw Myo Myat were still eager to know more.
"Hey..hey. We found this place with difficulty. It's the result of seniors' exploration."
"So? What are we doing there?"
Under the curious eyes of juniors, Htin Lin spoke word by word…
"We are watching a blue car driving match.."
"What kinds of drivers are driving?"
"Sushi, papaya salad, dumplings, hot dog and curry… But I don't know which driver's turn this week. I haven't seen the poster yet."
Um… Wine hated his knowledge which translated this kind of riddle flawlessly. The seniors spoke in obscured words but he understood instantly.
They were going to watch a movie tomorrow. The kind that more than 18 people were needed to watch….
