Chapter 4: the finding truth
With those words Giotto send poor Tsunayoshi to shock. He knew that if he told anyone what's going at home he would be getting a beating of his life and Tsunayoshi knew this well. But, he wanted to talk to someone or tell someone what's going at home and about his abusive father. But he was too afraid.
"Sorry sir but I still don't understand what you mean. Nothing is wrong at home, sir." Said Tsunayoshi, getting seriously scared of his new teacher. But at the same time he wanted to tell his teacher about it.
"Tsunayoshi don't lie to me, like I said I can tell" said Giotto. Tsunayoshi just looked down at the ground, he felt like screaming everything, pain and fear, out to the teacher. But the fear was greater. Giotto went up to the boy and kneeled beside in front of Tsunayoshi, having a worried look on his face. When Giotto saw his face, his concern just grew; no child should look this terrified of talking.
"But like I said I'm telling the truth" answered Tsunayoshi with the same answer. Still looking down at the tiled floor of the nurse's office.
"Okay then tell me that while looking at my face, can you do that?" said Giotto. Tsunayoshi looked up at him and opened his mouth to speak. But. Nothing came out." I see, you can't, so how about just sitting down with me and telling the truth, because I'll just keep asking the same question till you tell the truth." Said Giotto, as he led Tsunayoshi to one of the chairs in the nurse's office for visitors. Tsunayoshi still didn't say I think. He knew that the new teacher just wanted to help him and he does want to tell him about everything going at home but the fear of his father and the beating is what always keeps him quiet.
"Please tell Tsunayoshi, I want to help you but if you keep quiet I can't help" said Giotto, who still looked worried. After 5 minutes but to both of them seemed like hours Tsunayoshi finally talked.
"I can't. He hurt me." said Tsunayoshi as he remembers that one time he almost told one of his old teacher about what was going on at home, the punishment was painful and he never wanted to repeat that ever again.
"Who'll hurt you Tsunayoshi, just tell me that." Asked Giotto. After a few minutes of silence, it was broken by a sob and then an answer and confirmed Giotto's suspicions.
"Father" said Tsunayoshi as his start to cry in fear knowing what will happen at home. Giotto just stood up from where he was. Tsunayoshi thought he is going to leave him or hit him. But to his surprise, Giotto just hugged him. Tsunayoshi could hold the fear and pain inside anymore. So like a flood gate he started to cry all of it out. Giotto knew the boy most have held everything inside of him for years and now I'd just letting everything out. As Giotto held Tsunayoshi in his arms, one thought was very clear in his head. He is going to help this boy in any way he could.
