Shish & Mir - Story by Mehfuza

Please post my story:-

Shish & Mir

It was 9.00 pm and Shish was in the office. Shish was checking the company
accounts when he found a difference of 60000/- appearing in the cash that
worried him.

He though of calling Mir his wife of 7 years and discussing the issue with
her but thought otherwise.
Shish called his chief accountant Sam in his cabin and asked him, "Sam it
seems that 60000/- is missing from the total cash balance. Can you please
roughly check this difference? I am sure I must have issued some check and
forgotten about it."

Sam went through the accounts and came with the same conclusion. He found
out that this missing figure was taken from the bank account 12 days back,
but who took this amount? The boss needed answer and "no answer" would
really disturb him.

He called the admin Sim to find out if Sim knew about this missing 60000/-.
Sim recollected in a flash - all the transactions that they had during the
last 12 days and then concluded - why yes it is Madam Mir who had drawn
60000/- from the company account for a personal use.

So asking Sim once more to be sure of what she is saying, he finally
informed the boss regarding it.

Shish was surprised. A thought kept coming in his mind while driving home -
why did Mir need 60000 aed? Although it was a surprise account check as
Shish usually checked accounts every end of the month. He was annoyed at Mir
not informing her about this money that she took.
Mir, who was his wife, Business advisor and a Caretaker during his absent,
tried to conceal this truth.

As soon as he entered the house, he called Mir in his mini office in his
villa, because he did not want to make a scene in front of his 2 sons and
parents regarding this issue.

He said, "Mir today I was checking the company accounts. I found out that
you had withdrawn money on the 3rd of May from the accounts stating personal
use. Why did you need this much money?"
She was shocked at this question. She had taken the money to help her
brother who needed to pay off his debts, in business. She had thought of not
informing shish and replacing the money back by selling of her jewellery.
She took some time in taking this step, thinking Shish would check the
accounts at the end of the month and not in the middle of the month.

She knew Shish would be very upset but know she was caught. She said,
"Shish I was going to tell you about it. My brother needed money. He called
me for help. So I withdrew this amount from the account."
Shish almost shouting said, "Mir don't lie saying that you were going to
inform me about it. From the past 7 days I am in town and you could have
informed me. Besides 60000/- is not a small amount. And of all why did your
brother ask you about it, he could have asked me. This is not acceptable. It
is a breach of trust. I trusted you with something and you did not even
bother to inform me. I am sure you would have never informed me if I had not
caught this difference. You would have sold your jewellery and replaced the
difference. I know you very nicely."

Mir was upset and angry. She said, " Is this 60000/- such a big issue for
you? May be yes it is a big amount but not that big that it will make a
difference in our business. Today we are making profits in millions.
Besides do I not have the right to do something of my own? Whats the big
deal if I did not inform you once. For all the past 4 years I have been
working hard for bringing this company to this position. And of all that I
did, I get to receive a "distrust award" from you. It's just for namesake
that you say, "this all is yours". Look I am sorry for being distrustful
okay and I am tired, tired of taking your commands. I need to rest know and
I quit from the company. And as for the 60000, you will get it soon encashed
in your account - which I promise. So for god sake please drop this whole
topic.

Saying this she walked out of the room sobbing. Shish was left alone in the
room, thinking why they had to argue like this.

Mir loved Shish a lot and it was much more the vice versa. It was almost as
if Shish took Mir's name in his every breath that he took in and took out.
Although their marriage was arranged, it was instant love at first sight.
There was no one else that Shish though about the moment he saw Mir and Mir
too felt he would be the best guy for her.

Actually it was Shish's father Fez who, at once consulted his wife to send a
proposal from Shish for Mir's hand.

Well in a single meeting the love bug struck both of them and they soon got
married.

Mir was a beauty. She had a medium height with fair complexioned, with shiny
brown eyes and a square pinkish face. Her hairs were silky brown. All her
parts were proportional to her body. All in all she was a very delicate but
vibrant body with an electrifying smile and pulsating mischief visible by
her actions.

While Shish was a medium height wheatish complexioned, with strong built
body and an angelic face, that could attract anyone in a group.
With strong leadership qualities and an intelligent mind he was a planner
and always knew what is to be done. After clearing his engineering, he got a
decent job in the gulf. He soon got married. With Mir in his life he had all
the fun that he had thought about. Soon they became parents of a bouncing
bony baby. Shish got sick and tired of his 9 to 6 job and decided it was
enough. He started a company of his own and soon became an electronic
consultant managing many famous brands.
Initially things were difficult but Mir pumped courage in to him for the
initial downfall that he suffered in the 1st year.
Mir had to go back to India as she was expecting 2nd child. And soon after
delivery she came back to the gulf to help her husband in his work.
They both had discussed thoroughly that managing business, taking care of
kids and household activities, is going to be difficult but they are not
going to give up. They will keep working hard and face all the challenges.
After all they both wanted adventure and this was there Amazonian adventure.

Well their hard work did pay off and they too tasted success in a big way.
They had started a chain of business - consultation, retailing, freights and
logistics and indenting.

Today it had been 4 years since Mir had joined the company and they had
progressed. Mir was life for shish. She breathed encouragement in Shish's
mind. Whenever he though negative he called Mir and she would convert the
negative in to positive. Shish was the planner, while Mir was the pusher.

With so much of love between them, it was not such that they never fought or
did not have differences. They fought a lot and had many differences.
Initially they compromised, but later stage arguments and clash of ego.
Shish was a very emotional person. For him communication meant a lot. If Mir
loved him, Mir had to say she loved him. Whereas Mir thought it was well
understood She loved him and there was no need to communicate. For both,
ways of expressing their feelings were different.
What appeared a small matter to shish, appeared big to Mir and vice versa.
For Shish it was important that Mir centred him compared to everyone in this
world, whereas for Mir she had her family and was dedicated to her parents
and brothers.
Shish never liked Mir's relatives and was quite uncomfortable with them.
Whereas Mir was a socialite and an extrovert.
There were things that shish considered childish of Mir, where as Mir though
shish was over reacting for every thing. She thought he could deliver a
speech for, things that she did wrong in shish's viewpoint.

Like many fights before, today again it was one more fight. Shish felt
unworthy of trusting Mir. This was because he told her every inch and pinch
of activities that he did or secrets that he had in his life.
It pained him. He wanted a sorry from Mir, but not the one that she said
some time back. There was a difference between the sorry he wanted to hear
and the sorry that she said.

Mir's sorry was stating him that since you are powerful, since you are my
husband, I have to take your command and I have to agree for whatever you
say. So because you feel I have done wrong, which I don't feel - I am sorry.
Infact her sorry ached him a lot.

And it was true Mir did not realize her mistake. She felt it was Shish's
mistake.

It was useless talking more on the issue. Shish knew that this incident
would create a silence between the two for some days.

And to live without talking to Mir was going to be difficult. But his alter
ego was too strong to pull back the whole incident and calm her down.

He felt that life was too short to express love and such incidents made it
shorter, losing valuable time for love.

They both ate food in silence. Fez & his wife could feel that there was some
tension in the air. But both knew that they loved each other a lot and it
would be over soon.

Shish asked Mir in the bedroom, " Is this your final decision to quit,
work?"
She replied with a rude "yes" and slept on the other side of the bed,
switching off the lamp at her side of the bed.

Shish resided watching TV, but was he really watching TV? He was killing
time. He could not sleep and thought of why this was happening to them.

The coming 5 days went the same way. It was as if the 2 were living 2
separate lives. Moreover Mir arranged for the 60000 and deposited in the
company account without even informing Shish.
Shish kept sulking but maintained the law of silence.

But their silence did break - when after 5 days of silence, they had to
attend a party at a friends house.

Mir took her car and decided to drive. Shish sat in the adjacent seat and
decided to go in the same car.

Shish wanted to break the silence, but he thought that could happen after
the party. He was sure she would mix up with her in the party. There was so
much silence in the car, but there was a lot happening in Mir's mind. She
felt like crying. She too was feeling the pain of this silence, but she too
wanted a sorry from Shish. Both their egos were clashing, crushing their
unlimited love that flowed in their hearts for one another.

Suddenly the car next to Mir's Car skided due to a tire burst and banged in
to Mir's car and toppled above. The driver of the skided car was thrown away
and died instantly. Whereas Mir's car somersaulted once and came to a halt.

Everything happened in a split second. Shish was conscious, but Mir was
bleeding on the head and arms, and was unconscious.

Shish was shivering at the sight. He quickly removed Mir from the car and
carrying Mir like a mad man started running on the highway for help.

Soon a car passing by halted and carried them to the nearby hospital.
Seeing Mir in this condition, Shish felt as if he was dead. His breathing
had become hard and he felt a lump of pain circulating his body. He felt his
heart aching and his body shivering in fear. Only prayers were heard from
his mouth - for Mir's safety. Shish was bruised on his hands and legs.

Doctors attended to Mir and soon Shish's parent came to the hospital.
Doctors confirmed that Mir was alive and only had fractured her arms.
Shish was still choked in grief sulking why it had to happen to her.
It should have happened to him instead. He could not see Mir in pain.
He soon rushed to Mir's bed. And sat next to her, praying to God.
As soon Mir opened her eyes she saw tears in Shish's eyes. He embraced her
like a child and started crying like a child.
She said, " Shish I am feeling fine, don't worry."

The doctor discharged Mir after plastering her two arms and asked her to
take complete rest as she had lost blood and was weak.

Shish made her lie down and kissed her. He said, "Mir I am so thankful to
God that he saved your life. I was very scared and shiver at the thought of
that incident." Their silence did break after 5 days of war.

"Shish, I too am thankful to God, but right now I am thinking what will I do
for 15 days without using my hands?"
"How will I attend to my self." Thinking this I feel God why me, Why I have
to go through all this." Saying this Mir started crying.

Shish consoled her, " sweet heart are we two different souls? We are two
different bodies under one soul. There is nothing more important than you -
Mir, in my life. So don't worry, I am there for everything that you need to
do right next to you for this 15 days, until they open up your plaster.

Mir laughingly said, " At present I need to go to the bathroom and need to
pee."
Shish soon untied her pyjama's and helped her holding her by her armpit to
pee. He then cleaned her thoroughly and tied her pyajamas and led her to the
bed.

15 days quickly passed by. But those 15 days taught a lot to Mir. She
realized how important Shish was for her.
Shish cleaned her after attending her toilet needs. He would stay in the
toilet with her, taking that dirty odour. He would wash her arse with his
own hand. He would give her a sponge bath everyday. He would feed her with
his own hand.
Shish once in 15 days realized Mir eating very little and drinking very
little water. He soon realized this was because Mir wanted to give him less
trouble, by reducing her -nature's call.

Shish soon clarified and fed her forcibily. She really felt as if they were
one soul and he was doing it selflessly, very naturally as if for himself.

She soon realized her mistake. She felt guilty by heart. She realized how
short life was and that they have lost 5 valuable days due to her fault.
She decided to do something extraordinary for him, once she recovered.
Shish had given a semi break from office. He did his work from home, till
Mir recovered fully.

15 days passed and the plaster was opened. Doctor examined her arm and
concluded it was properly fixed, advising her not to pick heavy things. 5
days passed everything was normal.
Mir sent an email to Shish Diwan - with a big "Sorry" for what she did.
In the night, shish asked Mir why she was "Sorry". He said, " Darling what
are you "sorry" about. Because 25 days back you were not "sorry" about it.
You felt you were right. I don't find it proper to say "sorry" just to
please me. It's possible that we may have a difference in opinion. If you
felt what you did was right, you shouldn't be telling me "sorry".

Mir embraced Shish tightly, " Shish why do we fight? Why do we loose time
that we could spend loving each other?
What really happened was my fault. And I realized after the accident. I
realized how much I mean to you .I realized that a person loving me this far
cannot think of hurting me. If I am hurt I am sure you would be much more in
pain than myself. I realized that there is nothing that you had hidden from
me. I did lie to you and you knew I would sell of my jewelry, but still I
did not except the fact that I was wrong. I kept building my ego on my wrong
foundation. That is the reason I am sorry.

Shish took her in his arms and kissed her profusely. They were not going to
waste any more time staying away from one another. They were lost in making
love to one another.
But friends that's not the end. Life is full of such twist and turns, but
twist and turns keep coming, only what remains straight is love.
