My School Days Were Full Of Enemies!
Chapter 31. Forgiver

Roman found his neck firmly entangled, by Herman's muscular hands. He also tried to dodge with all his strength, in order to avoid the catastrophe he was experiencing.

However, Herman suddenly released his grip, and let Roman bow while sighing.

He then pushed Roman's body, and made the boy sit on a chair. "There's something I want to ask ... no!" - Hermann sits on the chair - "There's a lot of things I want to ask you, '" he said, sitting facing Roman, with a very sharp look.

Priscilla remained unmoved, watching her father seeming to be interrogating Roman. The girl stood behind Herman, who was sitting facing Roman, folding her hands in front of her chest. What will my father do to him? He seemed to hate Roman so much, his inner being with a suspicious face.

After finding relief from Roman's nose, Herman began his first question. "Is your father alive?" herman asked with seriousness clearly on his face.

Hearing the question, Roman became angry. "What's the point of me saying my father is still alive or not to someone like you?!!" - he shed tears - "You've even mocked my father!!!" he snapped at Herman, with all his unstoppable emotions.

Roman continued his words despite the tears. "Why do you hate me so much?!! Whyaaa?!! What's my fault with you?!!" roman snapped with red eyes that bulged, until the water that came out of his mouth, spurting Herman's face.

With his body sitting on a chair, Roman supported his forehead with both hands. He did not want to show the swiftness of the tears, which fell down his cheeks. Roman is very unacceptable when someone who has hurt him, discussing about the circumstances of his late father.

The heart inside Priscilla was touched. He also shed tears, when he saw Roman vent all his emotions on Herman. "Yeah!! What have you done to him?!" he said as he approached Roman.

However, Herman blocked him by stretching out his right hand. "Silence Priscilla! This is a fellow man's business" forbade Herman by slightly turning his face towards Priscilla.

Silence happens too. Herman let Roman calm his heart, before continuing the second question. He wanted to make sure that the boy answered his question correctly. I had extinguished the fire of spirit, which was burning within him, inner Herman with his eyes fixed on Roman.

Roman then wiped the tears from both of his eyes. A slightly excited anger, still spreading in the recesses of his heart.

He then looked at Herman's face with a very sharp look. Like a jaguar grinning in front of its prey.

"Do you love your father very much?" herman asked, having found peace in Roman's soul and body.

Roman then lowered his face, after getting the question. Her tears still flowed down the floor.

"In fact, even today I still have not accepted my father's departure .. although he smiled at the last moment of his life" - Roman gritted his teeth - "After knowing I got a scholarship, at this school," roman said, recalling his last moments with his father. Roman's feelings and affection were immense towards Gerrard Hillberg, his late father.

Herman approached her and hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry son!" - he shed tears - "You're a real man, really" he said, wetting Roman's back with tears. Roman's account of the father, has succeeded in destroying all feelings in Herman's heart.

Roman then nodded. He didn't know Herman would hug him. The close of the embrace, made his heart become worried. After treating me badly, she hugged me! What does this mean ?! his inner.

Herman continued his words while crying bitterly. "I feel your sadness, son. I really don't know if your father is dead.I'm sorry for all my actions, which have hurt and offended you!" please Herman firmly.

Herman regretted everything he did to Roman. The boy really suffered because of him. He then let go of his embrace while holding Roman's hand. "Hit me with all your strength! Reply to all my ill-treatments as you please! Don't give me mercy!" herman orders in a loud tone. He then released Roman's hand.

"Dad's manga! Janga—"

"Diaaaam Priscilla!!! Don't embarrass your father in front of him!" herman begins with Priscilla, after finding her daughter intent on blocking her intentions.

"Roman!!! For the sake of avenging all my foolish actions, quickly punish me!!!" cheered Herman in a loud tone.

Roman immediately moved his hand to the side, opening his palm as if ready to give a slap. Will it be that by replying to his actions, it will all be over?! his mind with all the worries that hit his heart and mind.

Herman then closed his eyes, as he saw Roman preparing to raise his hand towards his cheek. Priscilla, I'm a father. I am your father. I'm proud to have a daughter like you. And I'm proud of Roman's father, who has had a son as good as Roman. If Roman slaps me, it's enough for me to regret what I did to him. Maybe this is the last time I set foot in this school. Forgive your foolish father, Priscilla, inner Herman with all his regrets.

And, Roman finally raised his hand towards Herman's face. Priscilla also closed her puffy eyes, because she could not see what Roman would do to her father.

Silence happens too. Herman could not wait to receive that very hard slap. Perhaps that slap was the last slap for him, before he left Saint Luxury high school and relinquished his responsibilities, as a teacher.

However, the palm that floated horizontally was stopped, exactly three centimeters beside Herman's cheek. "I forgive you" said Roman.

Herman was surprised not to be upset, after hearing the words of Roman. He opened his eyes and looked at the boy. "No! You have to do it!" look at Herman who was not satisfied with Roman's attitude.

Priscilla pulled Roman away behind her back. "Had daddy! It's already! Roman has forgiven you! Don't be so stubborn!" reprimand Priscilla while standing next to Herman.

"Priscilla! Are you willing to let your father's pride fall if the whole school knows everything I've done to him?" rebut Herman who was not yet satisfied with Roman's forgiving nature.

"I am the one who will improve my father's self-esteem, by spreading the word about Roman who has forgiven you! ... Do not repeat your mistake!" Priscilla also tried to throw as far as possible the stubborn nature of the father.

Herman was silent for a moment. He then looked down while looking down. "Even if Roman forgives me, I will still resign from this school" Herman said, clenching his hands tightly.

Hearing the father's words, Priscilla became angry. "Dad!! Don't decide!!! Don't get too drawn up in your regrets!!" - he looked at Roman- "Roman, answer! I You are satisfied when my father resigns?! Is that what you want?!" Priscilla would not accept her father's resignation from school.

Roman who had closed his eyes opened his eyes again. Looking intently at the medal hanging over the wall, he said: "No! You can't resign as a gym teacher!" - he stepped foot - "You have to build me up in this athletic event.. Before, I brought home a lot of medals, for this school," roman said, stopping his footsteps at the door.

Herman and Priscilla were shocked as they stared at Roman's back, who had been standing at the door. They were astonished by the words of one of the members, from the athletic exkul.

"I will make this school famous for its sporting achievements. So ... be my coach, Mr. Herman." concluded Roman as he passed leaving the athletic ex-room.

Priscilla widened her eyes wide. His mouth also opened wide. He did not expect the rebellious word from the mouth of Roman. That man, really made me fall in love, his inner self while biting his lower lip.

He then looked at the face of the father, who was still looking at the door . "Aadiah?!! You hear that?!! Don't let her down with your pessimism! This school has brought in an aspiring athlete, who will shine!!! You should be proud of him!!!" priscilla cheered with a happy feeling before her father.

Herman was crying and showed a smile on his face. "I have truly awakened the formidable soul of a young man!- he embraced Priscilla- "Priscilla! Let's see, to what extent can he boast of this school!!!" herman cheered with tears of happiness, while staring towards a gold medal.

The gold medal, which hangs over the walls of the athletic hall, is the only medal won by athletic members since the Saint Luxury secondary school was inaugurated.

Fifteen-year-old student Herman Timothy took the medal home to the athletic hall twenty years ago.
