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 .
