3| Fools run where Angels fear to Tread

"You are too good to be true." Vicky's ears shimmered with the words that he had just heard. He tried to find some reason but couldn't understand at first.

It is a fact that how kind and gentle people, sometimes, have to face a very bitter and sardonic situation in life that one can hardly imagine. These critical moments may occur once or twice in life, but they teach very precious lessons for the rest of life.

Some people adopt a policy of benign neglect, making sure their close relations grow confidently and naturally. This works positively, but not always all the time all the way, because some ephemeral moments occur at once and leave lasting effects on the pure relations.

"Can you teach my daughter?" the mother asked Vicky. He could not refuse because he also needed some means to support himself. He started teaching her daughter, and soon he got a group to teach within a few days. This was a good start and gave him a lot of opportunities to improve his life. There happened to be a new student who couldn't understand the benign relations that existed between the teacher and his pupils.

"How can you control your emotions while sitting among the young girls and boys?" Vicky replied with a smile and said, "I have very pure and sacred relationships with all my pupils. They are very innocent and good at heart." "Well, I don't get you," he replied. With time, his reservations grew worse, and he tried to justify his point of view, but Vicky didn't bother much.

One day, in the presence of Vicky, some students started bickering and came to blows. They made fun of their relationships with one another. They didn't know the severity of their arguments, which could lead them to big mayhem. Vicky interfered, and the matter was over. After a few days, it was late at night, and some of the pupils were preparing for the exam. Vicky was busy with his teaching, and the family was enjoying watching some drama on TV.

The silence was shattered by the sound of shattering glass as the window burst open. "What's over there?" A woman's voice pierced the air, and her frantic cries echoing outside made everyone horrified. 'What's going on here?!' she shrieked, her eyes fixed on Vicky and the other people. The family's faces went white, their mouths agape, as they froze in shock, unsure how to respond to the sudden chaos.

"What's going on, Vicky?" the mother asked. Vicky left the room and went to his home. In the meanwhile, the lady who created such a disturbance called Vicky loudly to make other neighbours know about this incident. However, nobody came out, and her plan failed. But it had affected the relationships very badly.

In the morning, they heard a few unpleasant remarks that Vicky was not expecting. Here he must be vigilant, but again his benign attitude ignored the severity of the situation that was approaching him fast. During exam days, Vicky also offered one of the pupils a pick-and-drop service.

Had he not done that, he would not have faced the irritating situation later. It made him more melancholic and disappointed later. The boy who couldn't grasp the situation made a contemptuous act, which changed all the relations at once.

One day, he argued with other boys of his age and tried to satisfy himself by making unnecessary references. Others tried to overlook the matter, but all of a sudden, the situation became aggressive, and they started squabbling with one another and came to blows. No one could handle the situation, and it happened in the absence of Vicky. They fought and created a menace, which led all the families to an unpleasant conflict. They could not help facing the unavoidable circumstances.

The matter led to the police immediately, as the boy made bruises with a sharp blade on his body. He got some lacerations and tried to prove himself innocent. The other two boys were innocent and were forced to fight against the culprit.

The police officer temporarily arrested the boys and inquired. The boys were searched, but nothing was found. He planned to get something to materialize his dreams.

Vicky's eyes clouded with soreness as he stepped forward, his voice soft and calming. 'Please, let's talk about this...' But his words were drowned out by the chorus of undue accusations, his gestures of appeasement lost in the frenzy of blame.

The faces that once smiled at him now twisted in anger, their eyes cold with censure. Vicky's gentle soul shrivelled under the onslaught, his attempts at peace crushed by the weight of their scorn. This condemnation was not justified at all.

Finally, they approached the main character who incited her son to indulge with them. The police officer, who was a judicious person, asked her a few questions and concluded the disaster. Now it was the police officer who could solve this issue or make it delayed. 

"Were you present there?" he asked Vicky. "No, sir." "Why didn't you advise them to be united?" "Sorry, sir, I tried many times, but I couldn't control the situation."

"There is no excuse for this. This time, I'm going to release all of you, and next time, be careful, I'll not spare you at all."

His eyes widened as he heard the news, his face pale and frozen in shock. the sad expressions on his face added to his difficulties. Suddenly his body language altered, and he made no comments.

The parents were unable to understand how the situation arose and reached its climax. His. At the weekend, he used to visit his old hometown, but now, he got a pause in his visits.  He made himself busy in the humdrum of city life, and found solace in drawings and reading book.

The members of his family were already against his familarity with these guys and now he had realized at the nick of time and saved from further chaos in life.
