The Navratri Diaries: Day 2

Day 2:

Was yesterday a dream? Looking down at myself I felt happy. It wasnt a dream. I had slept in my pajamas while still wearing my bra, fake breasts and my wig. I had removed all my jewellery and makeup the night before. I wonder what Mom had in store for today.

I went to Mom's room. She was speaking to someone on the phone.

"Oh all right Anita, have a safe journey" Mom ended the call...

My aunt?

Anita is the name of my Dad's brother's wife. She lived in Illinois, US. She had a son the same age as me.

"Was that Anita aunty on the phone Mom? Why did she call up? That too at six in the morning?"

"She is coming tomorrow morning. She is bringing her son with her too." Mom sighed. I knew how much she hates her sister-in-laws.
"Look Karthik. I want you to look 10 times more beautiful than her son. If you do that, I promise that I will make you up as a girl this Diwali too."

My eyes lighted up. What better offer could there be?

"OK Mom. I will. So what are you going to do today? Pavada again?"

"No. Go modern today. First take a bath and come. Remove your wig and breasts before that. "

I did what she said. I used some of my Mom's Yardley soap..... lavender..... nice smell....

I came out wearing the new white bra and panty that Mom had kept in the bathroom. I had inserted the breasts myself.

Mom took out a white satin top and jeans. The top was tight and my breasts were extruding a lot.  Mom smiled and pressed the breasts jokingly.

"Mom.. stop that..."

I sat at the makeup table. Mom did the same thing as yesterday except it was silver color on the eyelids today.

"I will try something new on you tomorrow okay? Look simple today. "

My mom clipped those huge hoop type earrings, a simple silver chain with a heart pendant and a bracelet on my left hand. She removed yesterday's violet nailpolish and applied a white one today. She straightened my hair down, pulled a part of my hair into a high horsetail with a white hairband. Casual and modern.

"You look so great today. Your makeup's done. Go. " Mom said.

I decided to check on my brother first. But his room was still locked. I guess he was still asleep. Better not disturb him.

It was Xbox time again when the doorbell rang.  I went to check. It was a courier guy from FedEx . I switched to girly voice mode.

"Yes ?".

"Uh its a courier from the US for uh....Mrs. Ravichandran."...

"One second let me call my mother. MOOOM. ITS A COURIER FOR YOU."

Mom came into the lobby pushing her curly hair back.

"What ...who... oh a courier."

"Please sign here madam."

I noticed something. The asshole had been looking at my breasts the whole damn time. Apparently Mom noticed it too.

She smiled curiously but put on a stern voice.

" Excuse me?"

"What? Oh yeah the sign. Thanks Ma'am. Have a great day" He looked flustered....

"Very responsible of you to work this early." Mom replied.

"Thanks ma'am. Yes we are the best courier service ma'am. Please use FedEx again. Goodbye Ma'am".

Mom closed the door. "Dont go and open the door just like that idiot. Saw that guy? You have to be more careful. Anyways lets see whats in here."  She opened the parcel. "A phone and a tablet.... I think its for you guys. One of the boxes says Nexus 7 and the other says Nexus 4. There's a note from your dad. Lets see ...

'Dear Karthik,
Your Navratri must be going great.... sorry I didnt send a gift on your birthday.... I know how much you love Android. So I sent a surprise gift. Take the phone for yourself and give the tablet to your brother. He'll need it for studying. Happy Navratri. Brings back memories.....

With love,
Dad.

'
"

I almost fainted from happiness. A NEXUS 4? OMG! It has the best specs a device in that price range could have. Of course. Like every good phone that existed, it wasnt released in India. Android Jellybean 4.1. Ooh.

"He didnt send me anything. What a cheap guy." Mom muttered.

I know why he didnt. Mom loves Blackberry (For some unknown reason.... I hate it)....  and little did she know that Blackberry 10 is supposed to come out this December. Dad was simply awesome.

I forgot all about the Xbox. I took out the SIM from my old Samsung Galaxy S2 to the new phone. And I started exploring it.

A few hours later Mom came down the stairs. "Karthik can you help me?"

"Yeah ?".

"Can you go the grocery and get these things for me?" She said.

"Mom do you seriously think I can pass as a girl in the public?"

"You certainly can. Be a good girl now and just get these things. Just do what I taught you."  She handed me a small list.

Yes. A week ago Mom had started teaching me female mannerisms. Walking, talking, hand positions all that.

So nervously, I went. Fortunately some of the rogue kids in the neighbourhood had went to their respective hometowns. I went down the street and onto the main road. I looked at my reflection on a car glass when something unexpected happened.... Oh no. My wiener was sticking up again. And as I was wearing pants today I could see it sticking up. Oh shit, girls dont have wieners... if i didnt hide it soon enough I could attract awkward looks from bygoers.

I stood behind the car pretending to check my phone while facing away from the street. Atlast my wiener became normal again and not visible anymore.

Heaving a sigh of relief I went into the store. Took a basket and started searching for the things in the list.

I couldnt find one of the sauces in the list. I was scratching my head when one of the staff came up.

"Can I help you Ma'am ?"

Switch on Girl Mode.

"Ooh yeah...um... can you get me this uhhhh... Ta... Tabas..." I pretented to stammer. Of course I knew what Tabasco meant.

"It should be Tabasco sauce Ma'am. I will help you." And he got the little bottle out.

"Oh. Thank you so much."

"My pleasure Ma'am"

I win! People who saw me today considered me a girl. I put on a cute smile as I gave the basket at the bill counter. Learnt how to smile from reading Japanese Manga by the way.

I came back home and told my mom about how everyone thought I was a girl. She kissed me on the cheek.

I went to check on my brother again. The door was open. Inside he was using the new tablet. His hair in a simple ponytail. He was wearing a blue and pink pavada dhavani today. Not much jewellery. But his makeup was flawless. How did he learn so much?

"What ?" he asked.

"Oh um nothing. Did Mom give you the tablet." I replied.

"Yeah.... she gave it. Pretty good, isnt it?"

"Of course. So I was uh wondering whether you would come down and play Mortal Kombat with me."

He sighed "I'm studying but uh OK. I'll come."

And we played Mortal Kombat all day. He won more games than me. I leaned on his shoulder while playing. I loved my brother a lot. He was as much as a role model to me as my Dad. I wish I could be as beautiful as him.

When it was time to sleep, I removed my makeup and the jewellery but I went to sleep in my dress. And that wiener was sticking up again. What a nice day.
