I was in my deep thought while staring at him. He kept looking at my wound and sometimes at doctor. At some point kept staring at me and didn't remove his eyes from mine. Tears were rolling down his eyes and my heart ached looking at his tears. I started getting restless with tones of questions running on my mind.
Suddenly he came towards me , bent on his knees , held my hands and told me, Did "I hurt you that badly?"
I was stunned by his sudden question and came to reality. I wanted to say that he did hurt me so much. But my voice didn't support me.
He understood that I didn't understand what he meant so he explained , " Is your hurt so much in pain for me that you can't even feel the physical pain?"
"Huh....?" I got more confused by his explanation.
He told me , " Doctor cleaned your wound with anticiptic and you was so clam that you didn't even feel hurt . Even doctor was stunned and told that you might be suffering from emotional pain. I feel like somewhere I am the culprit. So I sincerely apologise to to."
After completing his words he bent down as a gusture of apology and left as it stopped bleeding without listening to my response. Even if I showed him cold reaction but my heart ached as he left. After he left I realised that I felt safe in his presence and missed him in his absence. I went numb at that point and felt as if he told goodbye.
After around five minutes I found myself standing at the door of the class where Principal and he was interacting with students. I didn't know when and how I reached there but I found peace by looking at him . My heart beat increased at the sight of him. Students were accusing him at some extent. His face turned dark out of sadness and pressure. Looking him like that I couldn't hold back anymore and rushed into the classroom . I looked at him and then at Principal to ask how is things going.
" They are accusing Mr. Wang for the incident of Mrs. Chao Chao.", Principal replied.
"Okay then let me try once" , I asked Principal .
Principal nodded but he held my hand behind the table as that noone could see it pulling my hand back . I understood that he doesn't want me to interact with them as it might end badly and I would end up being hurt. So I tapped his hand with another hand and blinked my eyes gasturing that's it's okay and removed him hand from mine.
" Could anyone tell me what you want and what you think? Why do you dislike me and why are you accusing him for previous incident?", I asked facing the students.
One of the students replied angrily , " Why do you think that we will reply to your question when we really dislike you for trying to replace Mrs. Chao Chao. You can never be like her. Keep that in mind and go away so that we can continue our protest and bring Mrs. Chao Chao back."
I was quite shocked by his answer wanted to have some time to accept his words. But I soon came back to reality .
"If you don't tell me what you know then why do you think I will help you or give up on my job for your pleasure. It's okay for me untill I get paid because I will leave sooner or later. I have no intention of staying here parmanently as I never wanted to be a subject teacher. I always wanted to be a dancer. So it's your choice whether you will tell me or keep being silent and wait for me to leave. If that is what you want than its best for me because I will keep getting my salary and only you will be at loss as you are not paying interest in my class because of your grudge towards me which has nothing to do with me.", I told them in a sharp tone and cold voice .
Soon after I finished I could here chaos between the students. I got the reaction I wanted. After about ten minutes the chaos stopped and a student stood up. I must admit that he was good-looking with a firmness in his voice and had a leadership character.
He introduced himself as Xing Long and told , "Mrs Chao Chao was really a good teacher. She always helped everyone in need . Her teaching ability was awesome. She would never seduce anyone . It was Mr. Wang who liked Mrs. Chao Chao but he sacrificed her to get out of trouble for himself and school too. Our inocent teacher took all the blame as she would do anything for anyone who is in trouble. It's not that we have problem with you but we want justice for Mrs Chao Chao and thought that you know everything and are helping them to cover up things and close the matter for once and for all. Mrs. Chao Chao lost her reputation for this jark and look at him he is hitting on you now. Seems like he was never in love with the person but obsessed with the post ."
I was shocked to hear him and didn't know what to tell or react .
He told again, " Don't be shocked. It was so obvious from his reaction when you were hurt and the way he was defending you before you arrived. And your reaction after knowing that it him who saved your confirmed my doubt."
"I must admit that you are very observant and has great analytical skills but as a matter of fact none of us are hitting on each other we just got to know each other when I went to real-estate company. So I was just surprised to see him here." , I told to students with confidence in my voice so that noone will misunderstand.
" Oh okay then I will believe our new teacher's words. And let's welcome her officially into our school temporarily as she will help us bringing back Mrs. Chao Chao and then she will leave ." , Xing announced to the students and they followed him. A few of them smiled at him as they understand wha he was doing.
I smiled to everyone and especially to him and told, " You are really capable leader. "
He told with a smiling face , " Yes, ofcourse I as well as my classmates know that. And we will pay attention to your class from now on as you will leave soon to fulfill your dream."
'What I told was completely true but heade his move very cleverly that he left no room for negotiation.' I smiled to myself and told , " The boy is clever"
Principal heard it and nodded in agreement and we all left the class.
