Chapter 13

“But she has that black spot on her cheeks”. the kid said.

After listening to this, everyone was silent. And Mishty who was standing far away had tears filled in her eyes.

“Even the Moon has scars on it so that its beauty can be protected from evil eyes and Do you know that your aunty’s heart is more beautiful than her”, Sameer said.

“Yes, it is true! Aunty is too sweet and caring”, the kid said.

Mishty was still crying but this time her tears were caused by happiness. We start to see ourselves as other people see us and if a thing is continuously repeated to us, even we start believing that it may be the truth, doesn’t matter whether it is positive or negative.

And the day passed in such jolly talks.

While looking at the single bed and seeing there wasn’t even a couch in the room, ”I am too tired today and Alas! the back pain. Where will one of us sleep?” Sameer said.

As Mishty saw Sameer’s expression looking toward the bed while entering the room, “If you feel comfortable then we can sleep together”, Mishty Said.

.

Why is it necessary for you to ask every time about my opinion? She thought but didn’t open

 “I don’t have any issue”, Mishty Said. Because I trust you, ❤️ and Even if you will touch me. I can guarantee that would be unintentionally and accidentally.

“Thank you. For telling me what everyone likes.”, said Sameer.

“But it was your idea”, said Mishti.

“No, it was the Elder brother(Dada) idea else I would have come empty-handed”, said Sameer.

“Why hasn't Dada married yet, even when he is so good?”, asked Mishti.

Sameer remembered what he did with him and saying nothing he just shifted side-wise and slept, even when he was unable to sleep.

You are so good. What mistake you could have done? Should I ask? No, not now. “Should I rub Iodex on your back?” asked Mishti.

Sameer lifted his t-shirt a little bit and laid on his front. Mishty started rubbing Iodex slowly on his back. Sameer closed his eyes and started feeling the soft touch on his back. He was feeling good ❤️ and he didn’t even know when he fell asleep.

He looked at the cheeks, the connected ears. And there may be scars below as well. Sameer could imagine that if someone has thrown the acid from the side, then where it could have fallen on her neck, back, shoulders, arms, etc.

Maybe that's why Mishty always wore packed clothes to hide all these scars, no matter how hot the weather was. Always either ¾ size sleeved Kurta or full-sleeved coloured kurtas so that her neck remains covered.

As Sameer realised that Mishty is going to wake up, he closed his eyes. Mishty woke up and at the first moment, she corrects her dupatta and then looked towards Sameer, who was looking too cute while sleeping. She came close to him.

What is she doing coming so close? I should keep my eyes close. Sameer thought

Mishty slowly kissed on Sameer's forehead in such a way so that a person is in deep sleep, doesn’t even realise it, and then she stands and goes away.

As soon as she left, Sameer was shocked. Just saying as a shock would be an understatement, he was shaken down to his core by what had happened a while ago. Then he touched his forehead, and he was unable to understand why Mishty did that. He had a completely blank expression on his face. After getting refreshed, Mishty’s father took Sameer to Durgapur's famous places, and all the specialities and Sameer enjoyed it too.

In the evening, with the evening flight, they came back to Mumbai.

After they left,

“Mishty has got a nice boy as his husband”, said Mishty’s father.

“Yes”, said Mishty's mother.

#In_Mumbai..

All servants were happy seeing Mishty. Sameer went to his room.

“Which vegetables should I chop for today's dinner?”, asked the Cook.

“No. Please teel else Sameer sir will get irritated”, said the Cook.

When she entered her room, she was extremely shocked. What is this? This is not looking like a room from any angle. 9-10 sets of Sameer’s Cloths were spread on the bed. Socks were thrown somewhere while shoes elsewhere. The bed wasn’t empty nor the couch, there were objects spread everywhere. Mishty looked at Sameer, who was busy in his laptop in the study room. 

.

Without saying anything, Mishty started working immediately to check which clothes were dirty, and put them to washing and arranged the remaining in the wardrobe. She arranged Sameer’s table and placed all objects in the right place, then changed the bedsheet, placed the shoes in the right place and the socks in laundry and so in 40-45 minutes, the room was arranged.

At last, she used room freshener for the pleasant smell. She asked the maid to wash dark colour clothes and light colour clothes separately. Then after getting fresh, she went to the kitchen. Chapati and rice had been prepared, just Mishty had to fry the daal and the Vegetables.

He took the car's key and went out from home in a rush.

“Food is ready. Eat it when it is warm”, says Mishty.
