#endlesslove

The bell ran.... no sooner than all students were in assembly ground for their morning prayer, the dispersal speech was awesome for welcoming the student, addressed by the principal of school Sir David  Daniel. Still in his 40s he was warm blooded like a youngster, quiet, calm and generous at heart and equally passionate towards his work. He used to be a good employer to his employees, always prompt for every possible problems.

He interviewed many applicants to be professional and self motivated, but none of them was up to his satisfaction. He scanned many resumes which were just kept as a scrap at the corner, a picture on one of the resume caught him off guard, he called for a board meeting to get rid of the issues relating to shortage of good teacher. The entire fraternity of the board suggested the name of miss miller,the name which he scanned on resume. Her work was appreciated before also as she was the former teacher of the same institution. She was interviewed thrice and was confused with the behaviour of the principal, as David was so hardheaded and unpredictable sometimes.

David- "Miss Liza Miller am I correct"? She replied "yes sir"."what brings you here, miss miller? "

Liza- " sir I am not here just to teach students and get bundle of notes in return, I am here because I am passionate about my work, which led me here to serve this institution by my experience, knowledge love and care which might help kidos to achieve their goals in life"

David - "in case if you fail at your attempt you'll be out at the snap of my finger " with a glare he spoke to her.

"This is your appointment letter with warning letter too attached with it".

Liza stood up and signed the letter, keeping one copy with her. She was so happy because after a break she was loaded just like a gun with her knowledge, as she was deprived of this knowledge during her high grades which she worked hard and achieved her masters in science field. Her training program are now going to help her in all ways.

On her very 1st day she was late to which David was fuming with anger and avoided her with a glare. She was in class greeted with her students very well. She loved teaching to all grades students which made her a lovable among other teachers.

Days passed David didn't see her. After three months she was selected as a best teacher on teachers day and she was supposed to get a token of love from David, but he excused himself for some fake phone call and went out of school in his car.

After a week Liza was on leave  without any information which made David an angry man he could not focus on any thing what happened to her why she is not here to attend HR class. He called one of the receptionist to enquire about the teachers those who are on leave. She moved the cursor on desktop to search "including Liza three others are on leave" she replied. Did they inform you "no sir ".

Now David was desperate to know what exactly happened to her. He Scanned  the resume again to get her phone number and he did.  Should I call her or not words kept repeating in his mind. Finally he called liza " hello Is that Liza, yes may I know whose speaking", he replied "David "

"Hello sir good morning" to which David replied you are on leave without any information or any leave application? She replied "I am hospitalized as I am sick". OK take care of yourself and the phone was hanged on rush.

In the evening David was at hospital reception and asked one of the girls at same "would you mind telling where is Liza Miller"? To which one of the receptionist replied " room no. 6 ICCU ward". He strode long in the corridor and abruptly stopped remembering what the receptionist said. Back on his step he confronted to the receptionist again what happened to her with eye to eye contact she replied you don't know she's heart patient. This caught him off guard , with trembling feets he was at the glass window of the ward looking her cheerful face with oxygen mask and ducts in her vein.

He was inside beside her wiping sweat beads on his forehead, he was lost at words what to say or not. He whispered her name Liza, to which instantly she opened her eyes. With so many questions in her eyes she asked "you don't like me then why are you here sir"?. For which he was quiet at while.

After a pause he replied

"The day I saw your picture in resume I couldn't take off my eyes from it, I was smitten at you, I wanted you to see so I recommended board staff meeting about you. To know about you more I interviewed you thrice, to be with you I handed you warning letter along with appointment letter, so you can work hard flawlessly. I took feedback from from other teachers and students about your behaviour about teaching techniques to know more about you and nominated your name for best teachers poll. The day of award ceremony I doubted myself not to reveal my feelings for you. I moved out. Recording on CCTV camera helped me to find out your whereabouts. I ignored you always  because you were distraction to me. But today when I didn't find you I was out of my mind like I lost my live forever ".

Liza replied - " but sir I m dieing I don't have much time".

David- "I don't believe in such stupid three words".

N the silence began forever with the straight lines on the monitor.
