Part 1 - In My Home
This happened in one of those days, when I was in my last school years. My name is Rajesh and I’m the only son to my parents. My father is a worker and used to work late night. My mother is a strong devotee and goes to the temple regularly in the evening.
Life was just going on like that, until one day, she came to my home, my cousin sister, Anjali, a distant relative elder to me. She had some problems in her hostel, so she came to us, for staying few days. Anjali akka (elder sister), is from a village, with lots of illiteracy. But she got out to the city finally, then studied well. And became the first well educated person, from her village. In the evening, after the school, I was the one who always reached home first, and she came after. We used to study together for sometime, till my mom came back, and after that, she helped my mom in the kitchen. This continued for few days.
One day, she came home early. After keeping her things in the room, she cleaned her face and started to do the make-up. It was kind of surprised me, because I never saw her do that before. Neither my mom wasn’t into the make-up, and nor she didn’t have any kits, so it was new to me. Thus, with lots of interest, I asked her all about it. Each time she took something, I asked her about that, and she explained me everything neatly. So from that day onwards, she began doing it in front of me, and I helped her daily, as I could.
In that weekend, after my father went for work, mom went for a marriage function. She asked Anjali akka, to go with her, but she wasn’t feeling well, so I was left with her. Soon after my mom went out, akka took a bath and get out of the bathroom, wearing a chudithar (churidar).
Hey, help me braid my hair; she asked me.
What? I don’t know how to; I replied.
You should learn it, one day it will help you; she replied and laughed. My face turned red and I became angry.
Just kidding bro, I was talking about your future wife, if you learn it, you can help her, that’s why I said it; she patted me and started braiding her hair in one side plait. Then she went for her face, and I watched closely. After completing the make-up, she looked at me, and I was looking at her. She continued her stare for sometime, and I smiled in surprise. Suddenly, she took her pink razor and handed over to me.
Shave your face; she said. I became confused.
Just shave it, you will look better, after that you can have your favourite dish; saying that, she quickly went to the kitchen.
I took the razor and went to the bathroom. There were nothing much to remove anyway, but still, I shaved my face. Why did she want me to do that? I thought myself, but didn’t get a clue. After having a quick bath, I got out in my trouser, and went to the kitchen. Anjali akka was busy in cooking. She looked at me.
You can do your make-up now; she said.
No, how can I? I’m a boy; I shouted at her.
I was just saying; she made me calm and asked me to sit in the hall. I will come in a minute; she said. I was feeling hungry, so I waited for her.
After a few minutes, she came to the hall with breakfast, and we ate the food, by watching the TV together. Suddenly, the calling bell rang. Akka asked me to attend the door, and I did. It was a girl, and she was beautiful.
Is Anjali here? She asked me and I nodded my head.
Akka, it’s for you; I shouted. And when she came out, I went inside, to watch TV. After a while, they came in.
She is Latha, my classmate; akka introduced her to me.
We watched the TV together and chatted for some time. After a while, akka went inside to make the lunch and we both continued the talking. Shortly after, akka came to me, and asked me to buy some groceries from the market nearby. So I went out happily, without knowing, what they were planning for me.
When I came back, Latha was in the kitchen, helping Anjali akka. I gave the carry bag to my sister and tried to get back to the living room, but Latha, stopped me.
Help me with the vegetables; she said.
I had nothing to do anyway, so I sat in front of her, and she began cutting the vegetables. Suddenly, the knife felled out her hand and she bends down to took it. Her bra was clearly visible to me. That was the first time I saw a girl wearing it, and I couldn’t take my eyes from that. But fate planned something else, Anjali akka was closely watching me.
Rajesh, get out of here; she shouted. I became shocked & scared, thus quickly ran towards the living room.
What is it? I heard Latha asking my sister about it. Latha didn’t saw me looking at her, I was quite sure about it.
It’s nothing, just leave it; my sister tried to drift away. But Latha compelled her, and at last akka told her everything. Suddenly I head some noise, so I went to the kitchen with my shivering legs. Latha was crying a lot and akka was consoling her. Seeing me walking in Anjali akka told her something, and Latha looked at me angrily.
I didn’t do anything; I said.
Don’t lie, I know what you did, you saw me, now it’s my turn to see you; she said. I didn’t get a clue about what she said, so I looked at my sister with a confused face.
Come with me; Anjali akka said, and went to her room. I followed her silently. She opened her wardrobe and took a black bra from it.
Remove your t-shirt; she said. When I did that she handed me the bra and asked me to wear it. I looked at the strange garment and looked back at my sister confused.
You saw Latha in a bra, so she wants to see you in the same well, so till she leaves, wear this, it’s your punishment; she explained.
No, I can’t, and I don’t want to; I almost shouted at her.
Yes you should, because, Latha’s father is in police, if you don’t do this, she will tell him, do you want that? She asked me.
No, please don’t tell him; I began shivering in fear.
Then wear this; she gave me the bra.
I took it from her with my cold hands and tried to wear it, which gave me a strange feeling. My sister was browsing through her wardrobe, when she saw me struggling with the bra. She came closer and helped me to war it, by clasping the hooks behind. I stood in front of her in my jeans trouser and bra, by keeping my head down.
I hoped it over soon, but it was only just began. Anjali akka took some cloth and stuffed the bra cups. Then she asked me to remove my trouser. The shame was killing me, so I began to cry. Akka consoled me and gave me a white chudithar with low neck top, and helped me to wear it.
Wait here; she asked me, and went out. I looked myself down. The neck of the top was so low that, even if I bend down a little, my bra was pretty visible.
I heard them laugh, and soon after my sister came in with the make-up kit her hand.
Is that necessary? I asked her.
Yes, make-up is a must for a girl; she replied.
But I’m not a girl; I moaned.
Shut up; she told and asked me to close my eyes. When I did, she covered them with her black dupatta, and began working on my face.
Few minutes later, when she untied the blindfold, Latha, was standing right in front of me. Something is missing! Saying that she took the mascara, and applied over my eyes. By the time akka was doing my hair. She applied gel with oil, and combed them neatly.
You need the lipstick as well; Latha said and applied it over my lips.
One more thing to go; she quickly took a bindi and pasted it over my forehead. All these time, I stood there motion less, keeping my head down.
Hey, don’t be shy, look in the mirror; by placing a yellow dupatta to my neck, Latha said. But, I couldn’t move myself and stood the same, suddenly akka came closer and pulled up my chin towards the mirror. See; she said.
I looked at the mirror, and surprised by the results. My face turned so cute and in fact almost looked like a girl. I couldn’t take of my eyes from the mirror and continued looking at it, without even blinking my eyes. Seeing me, Latha, and akka laughed loudly.
What bro? Do you like it? Akka asked me.
I didn’t reply and kept my head down. They went to the hall and asked me to come out. After sometime, with much hesitation, I went after them. The moment they saw me, both of them laughed loudly.
Hey girl, how do you feel? Akka teased me. I became embarrassed, and they continued the teasing. “Take that, take this”; they send me here and there and treated me like a maid.
Wait; I was heading towards the kitchen to get them some water, when Anjali akka stopped me. She removed her payals and made me wear them.
Done, now get the water; she said. While I walked, it made lots of tingling sound, which irritated me well and they laughed at each other. When I came back with water, Latha told akka to make me wear heels and toe-rings.
What? Toe-rings? But they are for married women’s? I asked them with doubt.
Don’t say anything, for today, consider yourself as one; akka replied and went her room. When she came back, she forcefully made me wear her medium sized heels and my mom’s toe-rings. Latha came forward, then took one end of the dupatta from my back and placed over my head. Then with the help of some hairpins, she fixed it firmly. By the time akka, inserted a dozen bangles into each of my hands, and helped me to wear a necklace. Latha applied sindoor over my head, and I myself turned into a married girl. They continued the teasing, and made me do lot of things, like walking sitting, helping etc. they even asked me to play with my dupatta as well.
When the time passed, I became more uncomfortable with the clothes. While eating the lunch, the bangles made lots of noise, which almost made me yell at them, but I didn’t, and kept my mouth shut. I didn’t have any choice other than obeying them. All these time they clicked my photos and teased me well.
After the lunch, they again did the make-up on me, and the whole day kept me like that. I was like a doll to them. In the evening, when Latha, was ready to go home, she kissed on my forehead.
You are a good boy, I liked you very much as my sister; she said and went out.
I was puzzled, and didn’t get why she said it. Soon after she went, I quickly removed everything and yelled at my sister. But she stood cool and told me to calm down.
Please don’t tell aunty, if you did, I will tell her about your misbehaviour to my friend; she threatened me. And I became so afraid that, I didn’t tell anything to my mom, and stopped talking to my sister. Few days passed by. One day akka handed me her phone.
Talk; she said. Who is it? I asked her.
You know her, just talk; she replied. I understood it was Latha, but why she wanted to talk to me? I asked myself. With lots of questions in my mind, I grabbed her phone and said.
