It was 2003-The weather was hot and worst traffics increasing. A tall girl was listening to music in her cellphone. She was fair and had straight hair wearing a salwar-kameez. When she walked in front of a two storied house and in the name-plate, it was written "Shah-Academic High School". She happily went to the accountant's office and waited above one hour. Then a bell rang and a voice announced her name "Ruma Ahmed, please come to the Principal's office".

When she entered the office, she saw the Principal was typing documentary letters on his laptop. The Principal was bulky, young looking and bespectacled fellow. He wore a sleazy jacket, white shirt with blue, thin stripes and had a watch in his hand. He smiled at Ruma and he rolled the chair to the front.

He said "Come in."

She sat down.

"I am expected to see you here Ruma. Do you know why I wanted you to come here?"

"Don't know sir" said Ruma.

"These days, our education is going down. Our children are going for a lack of encouragement. I am so shocked that the honest teachers are decreasing but I believe that good teachers are alive today. I saw you helping kids in the street" said The Principal.

"Yes sir, I would be glad for teaching kids in school" said Ruma.

"Whom do you have in your family? What is your qualification? Don't be offended if I ask about your family" asked the Principal.

"Sir, it quite enough sad for me to mention my family because my mother passed away and my father is a DCP Officer. He is the only family who raise me to a woman who I am today. I am qualified as Honors from North South University. I am quite interested to have a teaching carrier in this school. There are lots of mysteries in my life and also that cannot be told" said Ruma.

He glanced at her eyes and said "you are quite truthful and loyal. Anyways, I am Yaman Khan. It will be a pleasure meeting to you".

After Ruma greeted back, she went to the classroom. She saw five people bullied a child who was fat and about three feet. Then Ruma stopped them and started a class. She stared at the fat boy who was upset and scared. The bell rang quickly and the students were jumping, running and talking happily except the fat boy who still sat in the chair and put his head down in the long table.

Ruma patted the boy.

She said "my dear little boy, what is your name?"

The fat boy said "Abir Hussain".

Ruma asked "Why are you quiet in such age? What really happened to you?"

Abir (the fat boy) replied"I have no friends, I feel alone. I don't know why I am fat?"

Ruma chuckled "No silly boy. They don't know how but I saw there is something inside you".

Abir smiled.

"Really? I don't know that. What awesomeness I have?" asked Abir.

"You are really good at English but never forget your mother tongue" said Ruma.

"Ok Ma'am. See you tomorrow" said Abir happily.

He walked out of the gate and Ruma waved her hand. Then she went to her house and questions herself that why was he bullied? Why he said two words after asking so many questions? Why he was scared? Was it a mystery or anything?
