Cicatrize

" Oh no this project is not good at all . It's so crappy throw that in the dustbin . If this is not perfect then it is useless!" exclaimed 18-year-old Samir when his project mate spoiled their project for annual school exhibition .

"Nothing is waste . We can use these broken pieces of mirror to make our project " spoke out 18-year-old Myra to her project partner as she worked on her artwork assignment .

"Samir and Myra both of you will go to this wedding because Samir's father is unwell and I have to look after him" spoke out Samir's mother .

"Mom with this wheelchair, I won't go anywhere!" Samir declared.

"I don't want to hear any excuses. Both of you will go and that's final" Samir's mom counter attacked Samir's refusal .

An hour later Samir stood in the wedding ceremony with boredom and irritation clearly visible on his face . Myra on the hand got busy in greeting other attendees of the ceremony.

" Hey look that Samir the perfectionist is on the wheelchair . Poor man , now he has become a burden on his family " a gossiping lady commented loud enough for Samir to hear it .

Samir gritted his teeth in anger and he tried to ignore the gossiping ladies around him . "Hey buddy !How are you? I feel so sorry for you  man, whatever happened with you is so sad " a man nearly  of Samir's age said to Samir with fake sympathy on his face . Now Samir's anger amplified hearing this  . Samir shouted," You mind your bloody business, now get lost " . The boy lost his cool hearing Samir's snarky reply and he kicked Samir's wheel chair .

The kick made the wheelchair turn over , along with the wheelchair Samir too helplessly fell . While falling down Samir collided with a passing by waiter . The waiter was carrying a tray in his hand which fell on Samir when the collision happened .

Samir shrieked out  loudly . Everyone in the wedding looked at Samir .Myra run towards Samir and made him sit on a chair while Samir hissed with pain. Well, today Karma hit Samir . The waiter was carrying a tray full of coffee cups . Henceforth , hot coffee had fallen on Samir burning him badly .

Myra saw that  Samir's upper body including his  chest and stomach got severally burned . Myra gave a death glare to that boy who pushed Samir and then she erupted, "How dare you hurt my husband ! You could have confronted him verbally  ,why did you hurt him physically ! People like you are a blot on humanity . If Samir is wheelchair bound then it does not give anyone a license to insult or hurt him !".

Myra then took Samir to a doctor where he got treated for his burns . When Myra saw the burn wounds on Samir's torso , tears fell from her eyes . Samir was astonished to see Myra's care and empathy for him .

" Why are you being so nice to me ? Are you not ashamed of my disability? Today you faced embarrassment because of me .Remember I too burned you with coffee then I scolded you badly when you fell while dancing at the business party.  You have so many reasons to hate me then why are you helping and taking care of me " Samir asked Myra with curiosity written all over  his face .

Myra replied ," You only seek flaws while I embrace flaws .You judge people on their  appearance while I look at the inner beauty . Samir this is perfect lesson for you to understand that life is not about perfection, it is about being grateful and kind to each other . If someone places thorns for others then he won't get a bed of roses rather  in return  he too will face those thorns because there is karma , the cycle of cause and effect .What goes around , comes  back " .

Samir then mumbled, "Thank you and now Myra  don't lecture me about life and it's philosophy . I have a better life than you . The world revolves around perfectionists and a  Schlemiel like you leads a life full of regret , sorrow and hopelessness ".

Samir is facing Cicatrize . Cicatrize means to find healing by the process of forming scar . Myra understands that only cicatrize can transform him where  Samir  will realise his mistakes of being rude , indifferent and heartless towards people when he himself will undergo  the same miserable situations which Samir made others go through .

Samir is denying that his heartless soul needs healing and repair but he has started to realize the goodness of Myra's helpful and caring nature .
