Chapter 4

Author's POV

6 Months Ago

Elena was sitting at her office when she heard the bell rang off. It was lunch break time.

Elena stood up and came out. She was passing by the children's washroom when her eyes fell on some children.

They were throwing water inside a washroom and badmouthing someone.

"Is someone inside the washroom? Are they bullying someone?" Elena asked herself.

"What is happening here?" Elena asked in her teacher angry tone.

Those children went frozen and ran away immediately from there.

Elena went towards the washroom and saw it was locked from outside.

Elena opened and door and looked inside. Her heart ached in pain when she saw a little boy around 4 sitting at the corner of the washroom. His head was on his knees. Elena was he was shaking slightly, means he was crying.

Elena's eyes went watery. She felt it was Ace. Because she often found Ace being bullied by his classmates just because he was orphanage.

Elena sat down before the boy and put her hand on him softly. The boy went frozen for a moment then looked up at her.

Elena looked at the little boy. His face was red. He looked so scared and hurt.

The little boy moved away from her immediately thinking this she will hurt him too.

"I will not hurt you baby. Come here" Elena said to him softly.

"Y..you will not hurt me?" The boy asked her.

"No baby. I will not hurt you" Elena said and the next moment the little boy hugged her tightly.

He kept his head on her shoulder wrapping his little hands around her neck.

Elena wrapped her hands around him securedly and stood up. She went towards her office room.

When she entered her room she made him sat on her chair. Taking a towel from her bag she wiped his head and face softly.

The little boy kept looking at her.

Elena looked at his body carefully.

"Are you hurt baby?" Elena asked him.

The little boy nodded his head as no.

"What is your name baby?" Elena cupped his face and asked him.

"Nathan" Nathan replied.

"Such a sweet name baby" Elena said and kissed his forehead softly.

"Who are you?" Nathan asked her.

"I am Elena baby. The Music teacher" Elena said to him.

Nathan smiled and spoke up," I love music"

"What you were doing at washroom baby? The door was locked from outside" Elena asked him softly.

"I was going towards the canteen to eat something when my classmates came and said they need my help to do something. When I agreed they took me near the washroom and pushed inside. Then they locked the door from outside and starts badmouthing me and starts throwing water on me because I don't have mother. They said I am unwanted" Nathan explained everything innocently.

A fat tear rolled down on Elena's cheeks. Ace was used to complain to her like this. Elena wiped her tear immediately and spoke up," I promise you baby. From now on one will dare to hurt you. I will talk to your classmates and if anyone dare please come to me. I will take care of you"

Nathan smiled hearing this.

"Then you are the angel. I read in book that whenever someone tried to hurt someone angel save them" Nathan said.

"Yes. I am your angel teacher" Elena said and brought out her lunch box.

She opened her lunch box and starts feeding Nathan.

"It is so yummy" Nathan roamed in happiness.

"Then I will bring your lunch regularly from now baby" Elena said and put another spoon in his mouth.

"Really! You will talk with them?" Nathan asked him being surprised.

"Yes baby. I will talk with them. First, you finish the food then we will go" Elena said and kept feeding him.

After some time when she finished feeding him, Elena handover him a glass a water and went to wash the box.

"Are you ready, baby?" Elena asked him after washing the box.

"Yes. Now let's go. I will show them I have my angel teacher" Nathan said happily and hold her hand.

Elena smiled then they started walking towards the classroom.

When Elena and Nathan came here the classroom, Elena was Jack was inside the classroom.

Elena and Nathan entered the classroom after taking permission.

"Teacher, can I borrow some time?" Elena asked Jack.

"Sure" Jack said and moved aside.

Elena stood on Jack's place. She was still holding Nathan's little hand.

The boys bullied Nathan they all looked at Elena with shocked.

"Good afternoon class. I am your music teacher. I have came here to discuss something. But before this, I want to see the boys who bullied Nathan and locked him inside the classroom. Stand up by yourself" Elena said in a angry voice.

The whole classroom went silent. The bullys got scared.

"They will not stand up. Shall I tell you their name?" Nathan whispered to Elena.

"No baby. They will stand up by themselves. They have to" Elena whispered softly and looked at the students.

"If you don't stand up in next ten seconds I will bring the CCTV footage and I promise I will make sure you all got suspended from school in front of everyone of course in front of your parents too. Now choice is yours" Elena said and the next moment five boys stood up being scared.

"Come out" Elena ordered them.

The boys looked at each other being scared and stood in front of Elena.

"Do you all have mother?" Elena asked them.

They nodded their heads immediately

"What you will feel if your mother went away from you? What you will feel if your mother denied to love you, denied to feed you, denied to tell you stories at night?" Elena asked them.

Hearing this their eyes went watery.

"I want words" Elena said again.

"We will feel bad" They replied.

"Then why you all bullied Nathan just because he doesn't has mother? When your eyes turned watery just thinking about separation then how could you all hurt him about this?" Elena shouted at them.

They lower their heads in shame and spoke up," We are sorry Nathan. We will never do it again"

Elena looked at Nathan and nodded at him.

"It's okay" Nathan said happily.

"Go back to your seat and it is my last warning for you all. If I get to know again you all try to bully Nathan or anyone you all will get punishment. Understood?" Elena asked them angrily.

"Yes, Ma'am" The students said and ran towards their seats.

"You can go to your seat baby. No one will hurt you now" Elena said and caressed his hair softly.

"Thank you angel teacher" Nathan said and hugged her.

Elena smiled and kissed his head then left the room after making sure Nathan was comfortable.

That time I saved Nathan just not thinking that he was my student but I can see my baby brother in him.

"I miss you Ace. Very soon you will come back to me" Elena mutter and wiped her tears.

"Time for your class" Elena mutter to herself.

She took her bag and left from the classroom.

"Good morning, class" Elena greeted the students.

"Good morning, Ma'am" The students greeted her happily.

"Today, I will not play the piano. One of you have to play today. So, who wants to play?" Elena asked and Nathan rised his hand in air immediately.

Elena smiled at Nathan.

"Come here" Elena said and Nathan went towards her.

Elena moved aside and Nathan sat down on her seat then started playing the piano.

Elena kept looking at Nathan with a smile.

"This boy is so good at everything" Elena mutter to herself.

When Nathan stopped playing the whole classroom clapped for him happily.

Nathan looked at Elena without paying attention to the students who were clapping for him. He just wants to get some complements from his angel teacher.

"Amazing" Elena said and Nathan smiled brightly.

"Enough for today. Tomorrow I will ask you all to play piano so practise it at home. You can go" Elena said looking at the students.

"Okay ma'am" Saying this everyone left the classroom leaving Nathan behind only.

"Did I really play well?" Nathan ask Elena again.

"Yes baby. You did amazing" Elena said and kissed his head.

Nathan smiled shyly.

"Now come here. It is your lunch time" Elena said and Nathan ran towards her.

Elena picked up him and put him on her lap. She wrapped her one hand around him and starts feeding him.

Nathan put his head on her chest feeling peace and opened his mouth.

They were enjoying their peaceful time happily but they didn't know that one pair of eye was looking at then intensely.
