Imperfect Match

Mr. Bean joined us for lunch that day.  Luam told me that his girlfriend was SreyInh.  This was new gossip, and I couldn't wait to tease her.   She is one of my high school students and had not mentioned this very important information to me.  I was surprised that she would consider Bean.  He's a great guy, but not a traditional boy from Mongkol Borei that picture with SreyInh. 
Luckily, I got the opportunity to ambush SreyInh with my newfound knowledge when Sophert invited me to visit a "Family School" in our village where SreyInh works one hour a day as a teacher.  I pounced on her with no mercy,. "Guess who I hung out with today?"  Who?  "Your boyfriend!  The one you haven't told me about."  She slapped her hands on her face and cried, "Oh my God.  I'm going to die!  He's not my boyfriend."  I said, "Well, he thinks you are.  He told me you're getting married."  She said, "No, he's like my brother.  I don't love him."  I laughed and advised, "Well, you better tell him that."
