Marriage Surprise
It was another uneventful function at my uncle's home. A lot of female relatives were present there. One of the guests was a close friend of my mother as they had taught together in a school. She was meeting my mom after a long time, so the last time she had seen me i was small. When she saw me she said to my mom, your daughter has grown up a lot. I got confused and asked her why you calling me like this. She told me that during my childhood she and my mom took me to their school where one of their colleague had brought a frock for her daughter. They all had fun putting the frock on him. Everybody thought that in that frock he looked like a girl. Not only that when they took him to market dressed in the frock, everyone in the market also thought he was a girl. So they took lot of girl's dresses for him. Thus whenever they took him to their school, they would dress him in female dresses.
After listening to our chat, my mom commented that even if i make him wear a girl's dress right now he would look like a real girl. Everybody started laughing. My aunt seriously asked me that all the ladies would dress him up like a girl would he like to dress up. I started to explain to my mom that i was pretty young at that time, now if i wear a female dress everybody would laugh. Aunty tried to convince me that no one would laugh but i still said no and left the room. My mom followed me outside and told me that your aunt loves you a lot and you should follow what she says. I told her that there are many boys attending why don't you dress them up. My mom tried to give moral support by stating that he would only have to dress up before the ladies. At last i had to listen to her.
I went to where all the ladies had gathered. There was my mom, aunty, dad's sister, my cousin sister and 2-3 neighboring women in the room. All the women were laughing at me as they saw me enter but my aunt came to me and lovingly told me that when i dress you up, you will look so beautiful that they will have to shut up. I started to feel very odd about that. Then aunty and my cousin took me to a separate room. There i was told to take my clothes off. I replied i would not take my clothes off in front of you both. My aunt said that you are still a kid for us and so take them off fast. So i took off my jeans and t-shirt. Then i was given towel to cover myself while aunty brought a very heavy saree and matching blouse. The blouse did not fit me as it was a bit larger. Aunty whispered something in my cousin's ears and my cousin looked at me laughed and then went out. After some time when she came back, she had a brand new bra and panty set in her hands.
Seeing these made me happy from inside but i didn't want to show it. So i told aunty i did not want to wear these. My aunt simply said these were wore inside and so nobody could see them. She told me i am lucky that i am also being made ready along with the bride. They made me wear the saree along with the petticoat and blouse. The moment i was dressed up, my cousin started applying nail polish to my hands and legs. This was not all. They had got lot prepared my that time. Within few minutes they added bangles, necklace, earrings, nose ring and anklet which was followed by lot of make up. When i finally came out of the room in front of others. Everybody said that you had taken a boy inside the room but now you bring out a girl.
I got a lot of appreciation from everyone. I started feeling nice with all of them. It was not long when my mom's brother came in. I got afraid as i feared i was going to get scolded a lot but when he saw me he asked my mom who is this girl and how i have not seen her before. My mom told him that she is your niece.
After staring for some time he finally identified me and went back to get everyone into the room. Everyone tried to recognize me but were unable to do so. When finally they identified me then everybody started laughing. I started feeling pretty bad so i left the room and started to take clothes off. My aunt also followed me to the room and i had got so upset that i hugged her and started crying on her shoulders. She got angry and called everybody to the room and asked them to say sorry to me. Every first asked forgiveness and then started to praise my beauty. Uncle cracked a joke that it is nice that now we have a sister-in-law for the groom. After that everyone left.
My mom then said to the ladies that we should get Sakashi ready. They were curious who was Sakshi. Mom told that we should call me Sakshi for the two-three days that the function went. Then she called me inside and gave her suit to me to wear for the remaining day. I told her that the function is nearly over and i should wear my dress but then my sister who was to be the bride told me that i want to make a fool off your brother-in-law. She pleaded and said that she would be leaving me for her new home after tomorrow so i should listen to her request. By the time my uncle also came back and started to coax me. As every one present was pleading and forcing me. I had to relent and i went and wore the salwar suit of my mom. They started my making me wax my hands and legs. My sister got so happy that she asked people to put mehndi on my hands. They also did my facial. Then we all went to sleep.
The next day when i woke i was feeling very feminine. When i went to my sister and sat near her, she started teasing me and saying that your mother-in-law would love you a lot. I started laughing and said that when my brother-in-law would listen to my voice then all her plans will fail and he would catch me. She informed me that she had already talked to him and told her that her aunt's daughter is here but she has a throat problem so her voice sounds like a guys. She also told me that he said that he is fine having a sister-in-law no matter the voice. When i went to take a bath my sister gave me a Patiala suit along with a new set of undergarments bought in the morning. She told me to wear them after the bath. Later in the afternoon my mom bought a lady to me who took measurements for a blouse. Later in the evening while everyone was getting prepared for the ceremony. My aunt took me with her to a nearby beauty saloon. One of the lady there was the one who had taken my measurement. I found out that she had been told everything about me. She told me that i will change you so well that nobody would be able to find out that you are a guy. If anybody would identify me then she will close her parlor. Then she brought a wig and lengha with her. Within moments i was out of the suit and my aunt was dressing me up. I first wore the ghagra followed by choli. Then they started my make up which lasted for about 45 minutes. When it finally ended i was startled to see me in the mirror as i had become very beautiful. I could not believe my eyes as i looked very pretty.
Then they added the wig and styled my hair. I also wore some jewellery. After that my aunt took out a red color mid heel sandals from her bag and made me wear them. They finally put chunni and completely set up the ghagra. We came back from the parlor to my home. The distance from my house to the parlor was only 20-25 steps But due to the dress and sandals it took me 10-15 minutes to walk home. During the walk i was able to learn to walk in heels as i got a bit familiar with them. The moment i reached there everybody started saying that instead of the bride we should put garland over her head. I went into my sister's room as by that time she had also returned from the parlor. One look at me and she said that today some guy is going to fall in love with me. I just laughed but did not utter a word. After some time the people from the groom's side also came and everybody got busy preparing for the function. I was supposed to hold the garland on stage standing near my sister. The guys standing near the groom started teasing me saying that we should have brought more garland so that one of them would have married me today itself. My sister introduced to the groom who in turn introduced me to his friends. They praised me a lot which made me forget that i was a guy. I was liking the comments a lot and started to behave like real girls. After that everybody had dinner and changed. I got to wear a purple net saree and as my sister departed from home so did I. Till this day i can still remember all the moments of that day. These moments i will cherish forever.
