Ch 4: The Cataclysmic Disparity.....[2]

'The problem is not to find answer, it's to face problem'

-------Terence Mckenna

*Ava Edwards

So to briefly introduce myself I'm Ava Edwards. Yup you guessed it right the daughter of the chairman of the Indian Fallox committee Liam Edwards. I am currently 6 year old, just about to start out elementary school(later I'll just skip a grade for being too smart so future me will be in the same grade as the protagonist).

My mom never loved me, it is more like she hates me for the reason I still don't know. My dad is always busy(being the chairman).

So I had a childhood many would classify as traumatic, a mom who never cared to know anything about me, tell me stories, make me the food I like, ascertain me about a prince who would come on a white horse and make me his bride me give me all the love I would want in life. A dad who would hear me complain about schools and my friends and gently console me saying everything is fine. These trivial things that most people would consider stupid and unnecessary, but as a kid who never got these things I can't help but wonder what life would have been like if I grew up like a ordinary girl in a middle class family having a father with less work, a mother with a caring personality, a family who would actually spend more time together than just pay each other's bills. Even if we had money problems we would have had each other to support each other.

After my father noticed how my mom was like to me he often used to have chilly discussions with her, and after a long conflict between them, they finally separated last year. Since my mom didn't care a bit about me she even denied to request custody of me. But as the bible says that 'the lord has plan for everyone, plans for welfare not evil' , something good did came from this, even thou my dad is still quite busy he has gotten a little more careful of me he comes home a little early everyday, makes a note to always have dinner with me and during that having a ideal pointless chitchat about our lives. Everything was going smoothly until...

"Whaat fha..ther, you ma.ade me a prhomish tha.at yho.ou'll be hee.re tommorrho"

" I'm sorry dear I have to go out today for work…" dad replied

"Bu.ut wha.at…abhout the… prhomish..?" I asked with a low voice and tears in my eyes..

"I'm sorry… this work can't be delayed… but don't worry I'll get back to you…. As soon as possible.." he said tilting his hat a little down as he walked out from the door of mansion..

"I h..hate yo..ou.." I mumbled….

"Did you say something?"

"I hhaaattte yo…uuuuu" I shouted running back in my room…

While leaving he had a face of dissatisfaction.. but left anyways sending Maria my way..

Maria was the maid who had served our family for almost 20 years after her mother died serving my grandpa. She is quite skilled at almost everything that she does, she is also the only one who stayed by my side during everything that happened in my life, I often wonder what it would have been like if my mother was anything like her. Caring personality, lovely ladylike behavior, gorgeous face with a gentle gentle smile that always makes you feel at home. She is also my first teacher, who taught me how to behave, position myself to others, how to have basic conversations, table etiquette, even arithmetics and science.

I think that's enough for me…atleast for now.. so moving back to the last chapter scenario… Mohit's encounter with my dad…

#3rd march

*Liam Edwards

Hello, I am Liam Edwards a coward who runs from his daughter, when she is crying. I am the shittiest person who ever lived. I can't show my feelings out.. she thinks that I hate her but I adore her, I broke up with my wife for her sake.. I thought I was making her happy, she needed me on her first birthday after her mom went away.. even thou I asked Maria to have a big party and give her the biggest present ever.. I still don't think what I did was right, I should have declined the job to go away but the Indian division is the only division with less work. Also if I were to decline it the head of fallox would just fire me, that would make things worse. [sigh]… what should I do so ava doesn't hate me..

As I was thinking all this while inspection of school, I started feeling nauseated.

"Excuse me, Miss I would like to use the restroom real quick!"

"Sure sir.. that's two turns right" the old principal replied

"Thanks… I'll be back in a bit" I waved as I took my leave

As I walked pass the first right a young girl just passed by me.. which made me notice a little movement I heard in the left. Which I decided to follow, and as I walked I saw the assembly hall notion for the kids to not run and only be present with their homeroom teacher. Normally students at other places ignored these signs and go anyway, so I plunged to go in.

Walking through I saw a 2 little boys one who looked really stupid[Aaroush] speaking and other who looked kinda average[Mohit] silently listening about something and after a split the average boy just started running off towards the gate (i.e. towards me), but without noticing my large presence this boy just ran into me, and crashed and suddenly took a notice of me.

the deep black eyes of his, I had my batch on so he must have seen till now that I'm faculty He looked around the same age of my daughter or maybe younger but if he's already in elementary school he must be actually older than he looks. My eyes met, but unlike other students who would have run on seeing a faculty when they break the rule, he didn't. Why is that? Is he not afraid that I might punish him? He must be one of those trouble kids! [sigh].. Hanging around in the hall alone with his friend, deciding on how to skip class while having attendance. He is too young for that I will have to do something or he might turn into a spoiled adult, because he is the same age as my daughter I would hate if she did something like this..

"What is your name… little boy?" I said in a peaceful tone to which he fazzled a little…

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Tell me your name?"

"Yho..ou're the Chairman of the Schoo..l rhig..ht?" he said in his little voice having a expressionless face and black eyes looking to me...

"Yes!.. I am Liam Edwards.. the chairman of the Indian fallox franchise"

"Oh… shoo yho..ou are thhe ohne mhiss Wakio told abhout" He phrased still looking straight into my eyes..

" Wakio.. I assume you are talking about the current head girl. I'm yet to meet her, does she lead you guys well?"

" I ghu..ess, yhou cho.ould sh.aay tha.at" he replied finally off setting his stare at me..

"Shee said tho.oday ish yhour dau.ghter's bi.rthday." he exclaimed as he sat down on one of the five plastic chair laid just at the entrance.

"Yeah it sure is…" I confronted as I comforted myself on one of the other chairs..

"Is your friend alright?.. he seem to be thinking about something..?" I asked looking the other boy who didn't seem to have noticed me..

"Bh.elieve mhe.. its bet.ter if he jhust khee.ps thinki.ingh fhoor the rhest of hish life!" the boy sighed.. to which I just laughed off…

"Do you think.. kids your age need to be pampered and taken care of?" I just asked him without consciousness..

"Yeaa.. I nheed my Mom and kaku evhery dhay.. it will be qhuite tro.oubling if the.ey sthopp taking chare of mhe.." the boy replied..

"Ho.ow oldh ish yhour daughter?" he asked turning onto why I would ask that…

"A year younger than you, she's 6…" I replied

"She's thee sha..ame aghe ash me.." the boy replied ignoring my first sentence..

What he's the same age as her.. isn't it too young for him to enroll.. how was he allowed to enter.. as it was a strict rule by fallox not to take anyone under 7… is he some kind of a prodigy.. I should check.

"Hey boy.. here's a question for you what's two into two" I tweaked..

"fhoour" he replied without a second thought..

Maybe that was too easy okay.. I'll go a little harder.

"What's the Quadratic Formula?"

"I thi..ink it ish b plhus minhus undher rhoot b sqhare minhus fhour a c… anndh dhivi…ided bhy twho a"

Do they teach it in the first grade…. How does he know this?

"What's the general equation of a circle?"

"x sqhare plhus y sqhare ish equal tho r sqhare whe.en the cenhtre ish at orhigin?".. his answer made me really curious about this child… so I didn't stop

"What's the integral of e^x ?"

"I ghu.ess e^x?"

"That's right… but it's the result for definite.. when they don't mention don't forget the constant.." I said being thrilled as I were to teach a colledge kid.

"okha.ay!"

And on and on, I asked him questions per questions and he answered them all… before I knew a hour had pass,

"I think that's enough for now.. I am quite intrigued by your knowledge young man, do teachers here teach all this at such young age.?" I curiously asked.

"No.. I jhust rhead a boo.k whi.ich had all these.." again he said it normally, face plucking the string that was coming out from his shirt..

"Is that so.. what book did you read again?"

"Whaa..t whas it... yea ' higher enghineerhing maths'.." he replied still trying to pluck the string..

"okay.. that's good" I said with a stun look..

All I could think of was how the kid I thought was a punk turned out to be a scholastic topper. Well that is well said 'Never judge a book by its cover'… maybe I misjudged the other kid too, he also might be an schollar[he is not].. or extraordinary at something else[at annoying people]..

As I thought all that I , I could picture Ava having fun, blending with them, having a cheerful time.. maybe I should enroll her to elementary school..

"ohh! There you are Mr. Edwards, we thought you had an upset stomach, so we waited outside the restroom.. but it was someone else.." a voice from the back approached me

After I turned I saw the two hags running like turtles towards me.. but on seeing the young boy they started to have a terrified look…

"Mr. Edwards we are soooo sorry…" the vice principal sobbed..

"Wait.. what are you talking about?" I asked ….

But after a akward 10 minuts all misunderstandings were cleared up..

"Haa haa haa haa…. You thought I might give you guys a bad review if I saw a kid who is my daughter's age…." I couldn't help but laugh

"We are sorry.. we know that it is because of us that you had to come leaving your daughter's birthday.." The vice principal explained with a bit of shy on her face

"Come on its not you guys fault… If anything it is my lousy boss.." I comforted "And if I were to say.. today hasn't been that bad.." I said looking at the boy…

And in that moment

The dumb looking boy[Aaroush] who was still thinking inside came by hearing the voice that had been loud recently…

"Ish shomethi..ing wro.ong?..." the boy asked

On his question the principal and vice principal looked at each other and cross questioned the dumb looking boy "Hey boy,… why don't you tell what's two into two"

After thinking for a min the boy replied " Its fhive.." with a proud look on his face… but on the contrary the looks on the principal'S and the vice principal change into being terrified again… to which I chuckled…

"We are sorry sir it seems there has been a problem… we'll ask again.. Little boy what letter comes after a?" the vice principal not ready to give up re questioned with a grin.. like there was no way anyone could get it wrong..

Again after a minute of thinking he replied confidently,0 "a"

After this the ladies were quite embarrassed.. even the smart boy[Mohit] was embarrassed..

"don't worry I know students learn at different rates… there's no need to be ashamed about a trivial thing like this.." I said in efforts to light up the mood…

"Okay then Miss, why don't we check out the rest of the school?" I said as I started to walk by and so did the principal and the vice principal…

But just before reaching the corner I suddenly ran back to the entrance of assembly hall..

"what.. what is your name kid… You never told me?" I asked trying to catch my breath..

"Mhe?" he asked point to himself to which I nodded..

"It's Mohit.. Mohit Adoni!"

"Okay… Mohit see you later than…."I said taking my leave…

*Mohit

Today was quite a hectic day. But anyways its always worth when I get to eat my mom's hot choco…

"Mo.om can yho.ou give me hot chooco?" I asked passed out on the couch…

"Comin! Right up…" She said in a cheerful tone…

I don't know what kind of evil monster i would have become if it my mom was any different....

So anyways, this was how

*I saved my school from getting wiped out, and without anyone knowing*
