New life Part 1
My name is Pratik and this is my story. I am the only child to my parents who are both teachers. While my mom teaches in a school, my dad teaches in college. My father has a brother who lives in the same town as us. His brother had a daughter Prachi. Prachi was two years elder to me but still we were very good friends. We had been best friends from when we were children. We both used to go to visit each other's place every other day. All my friends knew her and all her friends knew me.
So my life took a new leap one day when my mom decided to organize a big pooja in out house. A lot of people were invited that night even Prachi. My father and uncle had went to farmhouse to have drinks party and thus left me at home to help. Prachi also came in the morning to help prepare. While setting up things me and Prachi started discussing about how women were very superstitious and religious. We went onto discuss further about men and woman and Prachi said that he can not say anything about a woman because men can not understand them. She said to understand a woman you have to be a woman. As for Pratik he could not even spend a day in a girls shoes. Pratik took that as a challenge. So they decided that Pratik will become a girl for a day. If he does that Prachi will accept defeat and say men are superior than women. If Pratik loses then he will accept defeat and say women are better than men.
Prachi planned to take the challenge very seriously so she left no pain for transforming Pratik into Pratha. She went all out as she got the dresses, makeup and jewellery needed for the day. She also wanted to use this day to her advantage as it was the only day she could have fun of dressing up her brother as a girl. So she even brought mehndi she had planned to put on her own hands to be used on Pratha. She went and bought a wig from the nearly saloon along with kit for waxing and threading.
She took me in a room and tied me to a chair so that I could not move due to pain but in reality she wanted to make sure I did not run away now that she had gone into so much effort. Even if I were to change my mind now, I could no nothing. She even tied a handkerchief over my mouth to stop me from screaming. It was a good thing she did not for I could not have stopped from screaming when she waxed all over my body to remove all the hair. If I had screamed everyone would have came to my room and I would have been ashamed. She also kept reminding how the girls had to wax to keep their body smooth and I was just feeling this pain once in my life. I was completely in tears as the last hair was removed from my body. I could already feel the smoothness and the weightlessness of my legs. I could also see that I looked a bit fairer after the loss of the hair. She applied cream all over my body and I could fell the smoothness of every part of my body. I thought she would release my bounds but she just took out her threading kit. She removed even a minor trace of my facial hair. Every time a hair come out it pinched a bit. After that she started shaping my eyebrow. This made me uncomfortable as body hair are hidden behind clothes but everybody could see my eyebrows. Only problem I was not able to move my head or scream. She had bound me well as I did not fell tight but also I was unable to move any body part. Now the tears started coming from my eyes as I imagined the humiliation I will get for having feminine eyebrows. When Prachi saw those tears she told me not to worry as the eyebrows will grow back very soon like within a week. I felt a bit relaxed.
Next she started with the mehndi, I am pretty sure she did that to stop me from trying to move a lot and getting out of the ropes. She put mehndi on both my hands but she had brought a lot so it mehndi was left. So she even put mehndi on my arms. She said after the mehndi dries us she will let the ropes go. She did not say that it needed 1 to 2 hours to dry. She then started with makeup. She put in some foundation to smoothen my face. She also put a light shade of lipstick. She even started putting the light pink nail polish on my finger nails and toe nails, after she promised and also showed me the nail paint remover liquid.
After half an hour when I thought mehndi had dried she started putting oil over it. That time she said this would help mehndi fade out faster like in holi when we put oil to remove color faster. The truth was that putting oil over the mehndi made it get darker when it dried and made mehndi last longer.
Next she started combing all my hair back and pinning them down. Then she put on a long hair wig over my head. I really liked the way hair fell on my shoulders but they kept coming on my face. So she tied them behind me in a pony tail. Then she started the final touch-ups of my makeup. Adding a little eye shadow and puffing up my cheeks. Finally as the mehndi tried out I could wear her blue salwar suit. She gave me clip on earrings, a necklace and a bracelet to wear. Initially she tried to make me wear bangles but my hands did not fit so it had to be a bracelet only.
After I had completely dressed she said I missed something. She again made me take out my clothes and then made me wear a bra which she stuffed with handkerchiefs. Now she said the look was really complete.
