Mihingten mahni din mun ciat ah thil hihdik leh hihdiklouh ki nei nimnem geuh a. Kei ka hihleh, hihdik lam sang in, ‘thil hihkhelh’ lampang ka tempai na om sunte laka khat ahi a. Huaiziakin, Dawi ha-vang kala ka suahtaak sunsun cianga leng koilai hiam, a ha-vang dang khata, lutnon kha zel ka hia. Vualzohna di ngeingei banga leng, mahni ‘goal’ a peklut kha a, vuallelh hamham sek hi ka mizia ve ahi a. Huai ciah ahi, ka dam sung tangthu tom kim!

A dotna dawng dinga ka kisak bemten laitak in, ka tate lak a nautum pen, khovel a thil tengteng thei a kingai penin “ huai bang a Gaal-zilna a azil hi in teh, mi’n le thil atheihlouhte uh a Gaal-zilna in a zil zel ve ua le’ cih, thudik tawp khawk gen bangin, bil nei teng zak khop dingin ahon puang khia a.

Hi e, ei-pau Gaal-zilna, a Mangpau a ‘correspondence course’ acih uh, a om leh omlouh theician ciah kei mah leng, ngaih dan hoihpi khat, lunglut huaipi, lung bang leng phawng lampang deuh hi in ka thei a.

Ka mitkha a tua mi lal mu kawm in, ei-pau a zil ding dan, “ B + A = BA, CH + A = CHA, A paw ngaw ngaw, A baw haw haw” khawng ci dingin ka ngaihsun a. Tua mi lal in, “ Bungsing a dawi tenglou” khawng ci ‘phuphu’ ding in ka lungsim mitkha in kamu hi!

Huai khawng ka ngaih tuah lai in, ka tate lak a khat in naakpi in, “ Pa, ka gen uh na za hia?” hawn ci a.

Belh thum kai guih mah bangin, ka tate’n hon tung et tuan mahmah uhi.

Huaitan in hunsak le uh hi mai a. Huai ciah le, amau kia va mohsak theih leng hilou ua, ken le thu dang gensan daih leng himai a, dotna dang hon dot na’ng uh hun awl, mitphiat kal tomcik ka pe kha zenzen a. Huai ahi, khawvel a ka thil hih khelh lian penpente lak a khat.

Ka tate laka a neupen taget in, “Mi lal in bang ciin hon houpih, banga agen?” cih hon dong khel khel a. Khangluiten “Tengkawl pang khial tui taw tung” na ci ua. Hihkhelh pan khelh khaak cih om thei taktak mah ahi, cih huai ni apan in ka thei khia hi. Huanah, hihkhelh pan khelh leng ci nih cithum om a. Huai nitaak a, ka hihkhelh ahihleh, ‘tui taw’ kidenna tham cing, ka hihkhelh daan a gol a gol khat ahi a. Ka kim leh pam kibuk na’ng lah om mahmahlou. Tui kia banga, singthem hiam, gaw them khat khuta let a, hon’ honkhe thei ding lah omlou in, cimoh mang bangin ka om hi.

Huai mi, a lal a lal in kei hon theilou a, a Nu uh thei zaw ahi cih atheih ciang ua, ka tate mit a ka ‘belh thum’ ke ding ahi cih lah ka thei bok si a. Ahihziakin, zuau vagen hial dinglah hilou ahihcian, khat veivei cihmoh man’ hithou mahleh, ki-pasal sak taka, “ Bawngtal aki a mat’ ngai a.
