There were always bruises on Xiao Ming’s hands. Whenever he went to school, his friends would questioned him what had happened to his hands. Xiao Ming would always faked into a smile and reply,
“I had a fall yesterday when I’m on my way home.”
Most of his friends did not fully believed his reasons. Always, Xiao Ming would suddenly started crying in the class.
After class, Mr. Yang who was Xiao Ming’s form teacher wanted to know the reasons why Xiao Ming was crying during his lesson, all he did was remained silent. Mr. Yang asked Xiao Ming to go off while he went to the staff’s room and phone Xiao Ming’s parents but to no available. Mr. Yang got worried as Xiao Ming was behaving unusually.
The next day, Xiao Ming was drawing a devil in a house on a foolscap paper. Then, Mr. Yang knew something was wrong in Xiao Ming’s house. Mr. Yang decided to have a home visit to Xiao Ming’s house on Saturday, without letting Xiao Ming knows what’s he planning to do.
Saturday approached, when Mr. Yang stepped out of the lift. He could hear Xiao Ming’s screaming and crying out loud. He followed the screaming and soon he arrived the house where the screaming was coming from. The door were shut, Mr. Yang grew curious and he peeked at the window. The shock engulfed Mr. Yang, he saw Xiao Ming’s father was beating up Xiao Ming terribly. Mr. Yang was so angry that his blood boiled and he wanted to rush in to save Xiao Ming but he knew that if he did that, Xiao Ming would gotten more beating. Thus, Mr. Yang waited for Monday to come.
The first time Mr. Yang did on Monday was waiting for Xiao Ming to enter the school gate. Soon enough, a boy walking towards the school gate. Mr. Yang was not really sure if that was Xiao Ming as the boy was facing the floor as he was walking. As the boy got nearer and nearer, Mr. Yang confirmed that he was Xiao Ming.
“Xiao Ming, Good morning!”
“Good morning! Sir!” he replied with joy.
Mr. Yang thought it was a good time to ask why were there so much bruises. As soon as he questioned about those bruises, Xiao Ming froze into a icy statue.
Terror gripped his whole being. Mr. Yang told Xiao Ming not to be afraid and tell him what’s going on. After much persuasion, Xiao Ming begins to speak and slowly more and more. His Dad was a alcoholic, he started to be like this after his wife had passed away. Whenever he got drunk, he would bash Xiao Ming up. Xiao Ming did not blamed his dad, trying to be positive.
“We must always try to put ourselves into others’ shoes right?”
Mr. Yang understood how the child was feeling. Xiao Ming was not trying to be positive, he was running away from the truth that his dad had become abusive.
Mr. Yang went to for a home visit again. This time round, time were different. Xiao Ming’s dad was looking fine. He even greeted Mr. Yang when he saw him. Mr. Yang had arranged a councilor for Xiao Ming’s dad and he hopes that Xiao Ming’s dad would not be so abusive and Xiao Ming would grow up in a good enviroment.
