His subordinates told the truth and explained the reason to the principal.
(Bossy one) : "What the f**k are you saying? Are you trying to go against me? Do you dare?"
[Bossy one is the rowdy boy who caused the trouble in the first place. I used it like that to make it easier for everyone to understand. I thought it would be better to mention him like that rather than just calling him classmate]
Principal got mad and shouts: "Shut up!!"
...
" How impudence .... Its not your home and I am not your family member that you can say those improper words and disrespect"
Principal with angry tone, " Shut up..... Where do you think you are standing? Who do you think of me?...How dare you use those kinds of words in front of me???....."
Principal kept standing there with her eyes towards that boy. After few seconds she said,
"How audacious..... This isn't your home boy and I am not your aunt that you can say whatever you want. This is a learning institute and I am the principal here and you are just a student. Behave yourself while you talk in front of a teacher."
....
"And Where did you get the guts to lie to me?.... Who taught you this kind of things? ... "
"But principal they are framing me. They are taking his part maybe because he threatened him. Didn't you notice they say they were afraid to talk against him?"
Irwan looked at him and was thinking, (Huh this fool!!! I have seen our principal madam for a few days. Just a few days made me realize that she is a good person. She wouldn't do anything unreasonable and wouldn't do anything without thinking. And also if she believes him there's also CCTV footage to prove that I wasn't in the wrong. That fool maybe forgot about it)
SLAM!!
Principal was really angry hearing him lying nonstop. She slapped the table and shouted at him, "Shut up...!!!! Don't talk while I am talking. Do you take me as a fool????..... How dare you try to mislead me????"
.....
She calmed down a but and said,
"OK, for the sake of ARGUMENT, I, your principal will believe in you. Cause as a principal, I can't make any rush decision. Should I call the students from the class? What will you do if they say that it was all your fault?"
"Principal madam, As I told you before maybe they were also threatened by him just like my friends were"
This time principal got angry again but didn't shout, but said with an angry tone,
"Oh yeah?????...."
"Ok then, I wont call the students here. I completely believe you." She then called out, " SOBUJ !!" [Sobuj is a college staff's name. She called for him]
Sobuj came outside the room and said, "May I come in mam?"
"Yes come in"
"Mam, the footage is ready with sound system as you asked. Now if you give me permission I would like to borrow your laptop for a while and show everyone what actually happened. And I know I shouldn't say anymore than i need, but the situation is rather interesting madam."
"Hmmm?.... Ok, please start"
Everyone has seen the footage and heard everything clearly. Irwan was a bit shocked cause he didn't expect the classroom to have hidden microphone. But he was happy that it had, So everything was clear to everyone. Principal just saw what happened. She looked at the Irwan with curious eyes. She didn't expect from a boy to have that kind of ability.
Principal, " Irwan , although what you did wasn't wrong but it wasn't right either. Although you don't have any fault regarding breaking schools property, I still cant ignore the fact. And fighting in the college is a violation of our rule. You have to take some responsibility of what happened.
"...."
Irwan was nervous thinking of what the punishment would be be.
Principal, "Irwan, you will be banned from coming to college for two months. And this is your punishment"
Irwan with nervous and afraid reaction, "But why teacher?"
....
" Do you expect me to just let them beat me up for no reason?" Irwan
....
" I will be in big trouble if my mother finds out about this.... I can take any punishment but don't do this kind of things... If it's some kind of physical punishment, I will endure it. But please don't ban me from coming to college..." Irwan
(Principal): " Yes I know that I am not doing the right thing to you. But this matter will be known by others soon and if I don't punish you, don't do anything about what happened then the guardians or other students will ask for an explanation that we don't have."
"...."
" You have to understand kid that people nowadays are so narrow minded. They don't believe the truth, in fact they don't care about the truth. They just look for an excuse and then start spreading bad rumors filled with misleading.", Principal
"And this could cause us many problems, causing this college to be closed for accepting violation within college. So two months of ban is the lowest punishment I can give you. And also this will make other students aware of the fact that if they try to cause trouble in the college they will be punished severely no matter who they are....."
Irwan kept quiet for a moment and looked in the eyes of the principal and said, "Yes madam, I understand." [with manner]
"..."
Principal was amazed with his politeness. She smiled a bit at him. Also she was feeling kind of guilty for punishing him.
"....."
Principle then looked at those subordinates of the rowdy classmate [bossy one'' classmates], " For the Four of you, you will get Transfer Certifact and leave this college, and for the boss one,
Not only you are the one who started this but also you dared to lie to me when the whole class saw you doing that. Were you planing on threatening them?....."
"You will be removed from this college without a TC. So that a poisonous insect like you don't get to destroy a good learning environment. And I believe you don't even want to study anymore anyway. And I can't let you bother others study.
Then she said to Irwan, "Irwan, I will try to convince your parents so that you don't have to go through much trouble. You can go back to your class now. I am calling over your parents..... Everyone is dismissed"
Irwan kept quite for a while. Then nodded and said.... "Yes madam, this might help me. Thank you. Have a good day".....
And then he left the principal's office room.
