Chapter 4: 50-50

'She is sweet & Caring.', Sameer thought and at the same time, he received a call from Aarav. 

"How are you now? I am sure you would have thrown medicines and right now your body would be burning because of fever?", The moment Sameer received the call Aarav started speaking.

"I am fine, Brother. And guess what? My body temperature is perfectly fine"

"How is this even possible?", Aaarav asked in a surprised tone.

"Because of Mishty", Sameer said with a small smile on his face. He wanted to add that she didn't sleep the whole night and look after me but if he would have disclosed this fact then no doubt Aarav will scold him for being careless and many more.

"So, How is she as a Life partner?"

"She is your choice, brother. So, She is the best."

"I have asked your opinion, Sameer. I don't want you both to stay in a marriage without love. Mishty has already faced a lot of things in her life and for a while, I felt that you can mend her with your extreme care and love."

"Don't worry brother. You are thinking too much. I promise I will never disappoint you."

"Hmm. Take care of her. I won't say this to her because I know she will take good care of her.", Aarav murmured before disconnecting the call. While Sameer promised himself to have the medicines on his own. He won't be troubling Mishty because of his careless nature.

# Few_Days_Later.

Sameer was getting ready for office meanwhile Mishty entered into the room.

"I want some money.", She murmured in the mimid tone. Sameer looked her weirdly as if he wanted to say that 'Why are you saying this to me? Take the money from the locker on your own.' While Mishty didn't understand why Sameer was staring her like this. "Umm...I had prayed that when you will be all right then I will feed food to some needy people."

'That's so sweet of her.' Sameer thought. "You can take money from my wallet anytime, Mishty, or from the locker. The code is 0030. You don't have to ask me. I will apply for your credit card till then you can use mine.", Mishty was dumbfounded listening to Sameer's words. "What?", Sameer asked observing her expression.

" Why did you share the locker code with me? & How can I take your money without asking you?"

" Whatever is mine is yours too !! There is nothing like 'YOUR MONEY' in our relationship, Okay?" Sameer chuckled while replying. "and I shared code with you because I consider you as my wife, my better half not any thief."

"Still How can I?", Mishty still seems confused and shock. "Maa said that I should ask you first before doing anything & obey your orders."

"Then obey my order. From next time don't ask me anything", He ordered strictly and then smiled. "...regarding these silly things," Sameer said and sat on the bed to polish his shoes.

"Give it to me. I will polish your shoe", Mishty forwarded her hand to take Sameer's shoe.

"Sorry, but I like doing a few of my things on my own.", Sameer said in a harsh tone and didn't give his shoes to her.

"You are angry with me?"

"No, Mishty. But few of your nature does irk me.", Sameer said in a calm tone. "See, I am your husband but that those mean you have to make me load like the ladies to do in centuries back. Okay? We both have equal rights over everything we share i.e. 50-50. I am repeating myself again that you are my wife, not my slave."

Sameer wore his shoes and left from there while Mishty was still sitting there which a confusion.

"Mother told me that a wife should be like a shadow who has the right to walk with husband but behind him, who has right to be with him but don't have the right to speak nor go against him. The husband is always superior but none of those words are working here." She thought

****#At_Night !!*****

Sameer rang the doorbell for almost 5 mins but no one was opening the door. Now he really started getting worried. He was about to Call mishty but before he could have done that, Mishty opened the door.

"Sorry...I didn't hear the doorbell.", Mishty apologized and she was breathing heavily as if she came here after a small run.

"Okay. And what about the servants? Are all of them became dumb at the same time?", Sameer was in a good mood to lecture all of them.

"No one is at home except you & me."





"Why so? I didn't remember giving any holiday to anyone?"

"I asked everyone to leave.", Mishty replied. Sameer raised his brow to know 'Why on the earth she did that?'. "From today onwards I will do everything on my own i.e. cleaning, dusting, cooking, Gardening, each & Everything. I thought about Money Management. Also, I do nothing the whole day so these works will keep me busy."

Sameer fumed in anger after listening to this shit but he didn't utter any single word. This was not a house of 1 BHK which can be maintained by one single person. This is a fucking Bungalow, she can't manage all alone and if she can then he highly doubt even a bit of energy will be left in her body. What is the use of the money if the body doesn't get comfort? This decision of Mishty was the worst decision of her life but let her learn it from this.

Sameer left for his room without any further discussion. He calmly had his dinner which was delicious as usual. After having dinner, he went back to work. A part of him wanted to help her in the kitchen but his mind was completely against it because he wanted to make Mishty realize her innocent mistake.

Mishty started washing utensils, cleaned the table, made sure to switch off every light to save electricity consumption. The moment she laid her body on the bed darkness welcomed her immediately. Those she slept peacefully at night but......
