I never left home. I spoke to my girlfriend on my mobile but didn't not meet her.
One day, at night my mom and my sister were working in kitchen. I was so bored, I went to kitchen to take a look. My sister looked at me and asked
Sister - why are you here? You don't even know how to boil water
Me - really!! , I used to cook by myself in America
Saying, I took the knife from my sister and started to cut the vegetables, my sister was cutting. And we all made the dinner
Next day was very unusual, early in the morning my mom came to my room.
Mom - wake up, anush. Wake up.
Me - what mom? What do you want?
Mom - I want your help
Me - for what?
Mom - you know, household works right. I can't do it alone as your sister is going to work
I was so sleepy, my mom took my hand and took me to kitchen and told me what to do. My mom went outside to make rangoli. After having breakfast, I thought it's over but no. My mom made me to do small household works like folding clothes etc
It didn't stop there, she made me to help her while cooking lunch and dinner too
At night, while I was going to my room
Mom - tomorrow, wake up early and come to kitchen
I was shocked. My mom wanted me to help her daily. I didn't say anything
Next day, I didn't wake up, just like yesterday my mom came to my room and took me to kitchen

Nothing changed except the length of my hair. One day after lunch, me and my mom were discussing about a movie and some how it came to jewellery.
Mom - I want to show you something
Me - what is it?
Mom - come to my room
So I went along with her. My mom opened the wardrobe and took some jewellery and sarees
Mom - I bought all these for your wife. You have to get married soon
Me - OK mom. But you never worn any of these.
Mom - no, no one. Not even your sister. I won't let anyone, it's for your wife.
To tease my mom, I took a silk saree and placed it on my shoulder and took a earrings and kept it beside my ear and asked
Me - not even me.
And I got unexpected reply
Mom - of course, if you want you can wear it. Give me those earrings, I will place it on your ear lobes
Me - what? I don't want to wear it.
My mom didn't listen, she fixed the earrings and took me to a full length mirror. While I was watching the earrings in the mirror, my mom placed a silk saree on my shoulder. I was shocked. I just wanted to leave but my mom caught my hand
Mom - just look in the mirror. I promise you, you will good in saree rather than in Pant and shirt
Actually it's true, I looked like a women, with long hair and earrings. I was in shock. My mom placed everything back in her wardrobe. Funny thing is I forget about the earrings. Suddenly my sister entered the room....

Sister - wow! You look great. But mom, you never allowed me to wear them.
Mom - I know. But he asked me for the earrings and for a saree.
Sister - saree too?
Me - mom, I never asked for any of them.
Mom - really, then why did place a saree on your shoulder and a earring beside your ear ?
Me - mom, I was just teasing you. And you know that
Sister - whatever. You look good in earrings
Me - oh, I forgot to remove them
Both my mom and sister stopped me.
Mom - what are you doing?
Me - mom, I don't want to wear them
Mom - I don't care, you asked for it and I want you to wear it
My mom and sister didn't agree. Finally we came to an agreement that I will wear small earrings daily and big ones only on occasion.
I got angry on myself for bring it on my myself. My mom didn't take much time too shift all the sarees and jewellery to my room. But after a long time, me and my girlfriend decided to meet....

I haven't met my girlfriend for the past 5 years. So I was very excited. Early morning, after doing few household works, I got ready. I tucked my braid on the back side of my shirt and wore a cap. My mom didn't allow me take off the earrings, so I decided to remove them, once I get out of the home.

Once I was out, I removed my earrings and went to a park and waited for my girlfriend. Within no time, she came to me. I was very excited. We started to share our feelings for a while. I know I can't cover my hair forever, so I decided to tell her.

Me - I want to show you something.
She - what is it?
She was saying something and she was stunned looking at my long braided hair. She took into her hand and pulled it.
Me - what's wrong with you people? My sister also did the same thing
She - sorry, but I just wanted to check it. Its real
Me - yeah, it's real
She - wow, we almost have same length of hair.
Me - may be, my hair is longer than yours
Immediately my girlfriend started to ask me many questions. I answered few and I didn't answer few.
She - your skin is so clear like women have. What are your using?
I don't want to say turmeric paste, so I did not answer it.
Me - so, you are general manager
She - yeah. Don't worry about the job. You will find something. As you promised, we are going for shopping.
Me - OK
She - by the way, don't cover your hair.
Me - what about others?
She - I promise, no one will ask you about the hair.
She said it very confidently, so I decided to leave my braid freely.
We went to the mall, just like she said, no one asked me about my hair. We went to ladies section.
Sales girl - how can we help you ma'am?
She - I am looking for bras
Sales girl - for both of you
I was shocked. My girlfriend just smiled at me and said no. Then I understood the reason why no saw weirdly, everyone thought I am a women. My girlfriend bought everything she needed and I was very angry on her. After we left the mall

Me - why didn't you tell me that I look like a girl
She - let me tell you something, with cap or without cap, you are looking like a girl.
Me - really, I am really looking like women.
She - sales girl thought, you are a girl.
I became really sad.
She - don't worry. I always love you. By the way, you look really beautiful. No wear the earrings, which are in your bag
Me - how do you know about it?
She - when I touched your bag, I felt something odd, so when I opened it, I was the earrings and your ear lobes are clearly visible.
My girlfriend took the earrings and fixed them in my ears.
She - now let's go to a jewellery shop
Me - why?
She - just I want to buy you something
We went to the jewellery shop. I don't what my girlfriend has in her mind.
She - we are looking for a latest design chain
The sales girls showed a lot. My girlfriend patiently saw everything and finally decide to buy one. I was happy, finally she selected one.
She - do you like it?
Me - yeah, why?
She - it's for you
Me - I don't want it. Its too feminine.
She - no, just wear it.
After we left the shop, we went to a restaurant. My girlfriend fixed the chain around my neck and asked me not to remove it.
She - take this scarf, I really liked it. You can cover your face in the presence of smoke and bad smell.
Me - I don't how to wear it
My girlfriend took it and styled it. Its very long.
We had fun and while I was going home, we kissed and she gave a bag. I don't what's in there. I took it and went home.
I went home and checked it, it's a designers saree. I thought my girlfriend wanted me to gift it to my mum or sister. I really don't know, for whom I had to give it. So I kept in my wardrobe along with other sarees.

At night my mom and sister asked me about the chain around my neck. Without any hesitation, I told them, anjali (my girlfriend) bought it for me. Both my mom and sister really liked the chain.

So one day, me, my mom, sister went to a temple. Its filled with lot people and mostly with women. Like always, my mom braided my hair but today she braided it by middle parting it, I tried a lot to convince her but she didn't listen. As usual everyone were going in line, so I started to go in men's line but the person who was handling the line, asked me to go with women. I was shocked. I wanted to tell him that I am a man but I don't know why I didn't tell him. My mom took my hand and took me in women's line. I was really embarrassed, when no one thought I am a man in women's line.

When priest gave us flowers, my mom and sister kept it in their hair, and I don't know what to do with it, I was surrounded by women, without wasting no time, my mom took it from my hand and fixed it in my hair. I just stood silently with saying anything.

When we reached home, I took the flowers in my hair and decided to throw it, but
Mom - hey! What are you doing?
Me - I don't like to wear flowers
Mom - then why didn't you tell me in the temple?
I really had no answer. My mom again fixed the flowers in my hair.
Life way going "OK". Until one day, my mom got a call from her mom. They haven't talked to each since my mom got married to my dad, without her approval.
My mom was in tears while speaking to my grandmother. They spoke for an hour.
After the phone call,
Mom - we all want go to my mum's home
Dad - I can't, you know have really important works
Sister - you know mom, I have lot of work too
I had nothing to say and moreover, my mom is gonna see her mom after a long time, so I agreed to go.
