Father Joseph's P.O.V
When all the students and their parents reached my office, they all greeted me, with looks of confusion on their faces.
"Please take a seat." I said to them, gesturing to the empty chairs in front of me. Nirmala and Tanvi were the last ones to enter the room and took their seats by the door. Nirmala knew what was about to happen, as I had asked Sister Daisy to inform her, but still she had a nervous look on her face. Tanvi wouldn't look up from her lap, as she fidgeted with the hem on her coat.
"Right then. let's get started, shall we. I have called you all here to discuss the behaviour of your children. They have been bullying another student….Tanvi. They have treated her cruelly and brutally and even used violence." I said, looking at each of the parents and students, with a disapproving look. Each of the parents started looking at their children, with an accusing and disappointed gaze. Nirmala and Tanvi sat and listened to everything that was being said, Nirmala's hand never left Tanvi's.
"It's not true, our daughter would never do that. This child is lying." One of the children's father's said pointing at Tanvi and his wife nodded in agreement. They were not ready to believe that their child could behave in such a manner. When the couple raised their voice, all the other parents joined in with them.
"No he's right our child wouldn't do that, the child is lying." Another parent said and soon enough all the other parents started joining in, denying the accusations against their children. I already knew that no matter what, the parents were not going to accept their children’s fault and that's why I called the other students of the class, who witnessed the incident and also both the peon and the caretaker of the children.
One by one the other students who had told Sister Daisy what had happened, entered the room and retold what they saw.
"Ankita and the other girls there, picked a fight with Tanvi. They bullied her and snatched all her candies. They pinched her and scratched her, they opened up one of her braids as well." Each student that came forth, repeated the exact same thing and pointed to each of the girls that took part in the first act of bullying. Next Sister Daisy brought in the caretaker and peon.
"I saw how those students were kicking and punching her, like a punching bag. They harshly grabbed her hair and twisted her ear. I was coming over to help Tanvi, when the children left and the caretaker came and took her with her. I left when I saw that she was being taken care of by the caretaker." The peon said, retelling the events that had taken place the second time Tanvi was bullied.
"I found Tanvi in a pitiful condition, she was crying and clutching her stomach in pain. When Tanvi stood up, I noticed that there were shoe prints on her shirt. Tanvi crouched down many times because of the pain in her stomach. I took her to get cleaned up, gave her a glass of water and took her back to her class. Those children behaved in a very ruthless manner with her." The caretaker said, retelling what had happened. After hearing all this, everyone sat there shocked, especially Nirmala.
Nirmala's P.O.V
I never expected these things to happen to my little doll and in such a cruel manner. By hearing the incident i could not stop myself from crying. I hugged my daughter tightly in my embrace.
"I want strict action taken against these….children. They are capable of harming her now, then they are capable of harming her in the future." I said, sternly. No mother could bear to see their child being harassed. Each of the other parents looked at their children, with angry and stern gazes.
"If I find these students harming a single student, then I will hand them a transfer certificate. I will not tolerate such violence in this school and for now I will suspend each of you for fifteen days. You need to reflect on yourselves." Father Joseph warned, each of the children who were responsible for this and their parents.
"Sister Daisy, if you would be so kind as to give these children homework for their suspension period, I don't want them to fall behind on their studies." Father Joseph asked Sister Daisy, who was sitting beside him. I could see the anger on the faces of the other parents, they were angry with their children and so they should be. Each parent took their child by the hand and led them out of Father Joseph's office.
"I'm sorry that this has happened, I promise I will be more vigilant over all the children, so that incidents like this do not happen in the future." Father Joseph said, taking my hand in his and shaking it. Tanvi started crying, when she saw the tears in my eyes, I wiped Tanvi's tear stained face and hugged her tightly.
"Why didn't you tell me, all the things that happened in more detail?" I asked Tanvi, she looked up at me with her big doe eyes.
"I didn't want to see you sad, that's why I didn't tell you everything." Tanvi said, I felt a tightness gripping my heart, as if I was being suffocated.
"Please dont hide anything from me again, no matter how much you think it will upset me. Never hide anything from me." I said, hugging her tighter. Tanvi nodded and smiled at me.
Ankita's P.O.V
Fifteen days flew by in the blink of an eye. My friends and I came back and we were filled with lots of hatred and anger towards Tanvi. We did not bully her like the other times, but we started feeding poison to all the other students, so all of them would abandon her and make her feel alone. Most of the students started maintaining distance from Tanvi, but some students who liked her continued to be friends with her.
Time passed and we all got promoted to another class. In that class, there were some dropout students and they met all the new students. There was a boy who was also a dropout Sunil. The teachers arranged seats for all the students and because of which Tanvi got seated with Sunil, as he was a dropout, he and Tanvi discussed various things.
Unknown P.O.V
In the meantime many of the student's items went missing from their bags and slowly these things got noticed in the class. Students started complaining about their missing items. I was observing the situation and I placed all the items which I took from other students in Tanvi’s Bag, as I know that all the students hate Tanvi a lot.
Tanvi was fully ignorant about it all, she never suspected a thing. Soon the teacher started checking all the student's bags and to everyone's surprise, except mine, she found all the stuff in Tanvi’s Bag.
"Why have you stolen things from the other students?" The teacher asked her, but Tanvi didn't reply, she was speechless and just as shocked as all the others.
Sister Daisy's P.O.V
The teacher brought Tanvi to the staff room and told me everything that had been going on.
"Okay, I will deal with this matter. You can go and resume your class." I said to the teacher. I was shocked by this, why would Tanvi do such a thing? It's not possible.
"Tanvi, how could you do this? You have always been a good girl. How could you do such a notorious thing?" I asked her, waiting to hear her side of what happened.
"I wasn't aware that those things were in my bag and I don't know how they got in there. Most of the students have been ignoring me and now this incident will make me even more miserable in class. All the students will bully me verbally and mentally." Tanvi said, shaking her head. I didn't know this had been going on, she always seemed happy whenever I saw her. Tanvi's big eyes filled with tears. I didn't accuse Tanvi, as I wasn't convinced that she was to blame and after hearing Tanvi's side, I was sure that something about this incident was wrong. I wiped Tanvi’s tear-stained face and asked her to go back to the class. I called back the teacher who was present, I need med to get to the bottom of this
"Who was present there during the incident? What is your opinion about all this?" I asked the teacher, I wanted to know what she had to say.
"I'm not sure. I'm not sure whether Tanvi has done it or not. Tanvi has always been well behaved and had a sharing and caring nature, so I have a hard time believing it was her. Tanvi could not do such kinds of things." The teacher said, voicing her opinion. Hearing this I was more determined to know the truth. I wanted to find the real thief, so I could clear Tanvi’s nanamLl
