One morning I got a call from my long time friend Divya. I hadn't met her for a long long time. I was bit surprised when she called me in a parlor to visit her. She hadn't expected me to come there. She shouted what a surprise, welcome and she introduced me with Reetu her friend and owner of the parlor. She gave me a cup of coffe to drink. As we were drinking coffee she said, hey may be I have one great news for you if you are interested enough. I asked her tell me let me know what it is. She said some organizers are planning a great event it's like a talent hunt. And if you win the competition you will get some money as well as be famous. But
what will I have to do I asked her. Nothing you just have to dress as a female, the guy who looks best as a female will win the competition. It sounded very simple from her words but it was not so easy. So I told her I can't do it. Don't give up so easily, you have done a few plays as a girl in school days and you are a great dancer too I think you can do it she said. Ok first let's check how I look if I am satisfied with my looks I would do it I said. After I gave her the permission Reetu started my make up. She told me to relax and started her work. By the time she finished the makeup, I realized it was impossible for me to even recognize myself with the thick layer of makeup she had done. Still a lot of things had to be done and I was satisfied with the initial work on my face. So I gave her green signal. She asked me to clean shave which I did after that she painted my nails, placed a wig over my head and gave me a bra with silicon forms which looked like real, brilliant modern outfit to wear and a sandals which would go with them. She gave me few jeweleries simple which would go with that outfit. She had done her job brilliantly it was now time to go for the registration.All three of us left the parlor together. Even though it was my time being dressed as a girl in public I was feeling confident largely due to the perfect makeup done by Reetu. As we reached there Reetu asked for the Form to fill, She did all the registration process as I didn't knew anything. She filled my name as "Malaini". After that I had a short interview in which they told me from all contestants top 15 will be shortlisted. After that we returned back. A lot of preparation had to be done if I wanted to win the competition. Reetu and Divya had promised to help me I had a lot of trust on both of them. After reaching home she told me to wear female clothes from now so that it will boost my confidence. Next morning I went to the parlor with Reetu dressed as a female. Reetu pierced my ears and even told me to pierce my nose but I was not ready for it. Actually I was not that confident of being shortlisted in top 15. Reetu said it will take some time to heal, mark my words you will be selected. After she persisted for long time I gave up and agreed to pierce my nose too. I felt a slight pain as she pressed the nosering against my skin. But the pain was worth taking the winning prize was big. I could feel the nosering and the earring for the whole day. After that she told me to go and have a rest at her house. I didn't knew when I felt asleep when I woke up the sting was gone and I felt a lot better. Together we took our dinner together.
In the morning Reetu taught me to wear saree as I had to get accustomed to wear different dresses. For the whole day practiced to wear saree, Divya monitored it very closely and would correct me if I went wrong, it needed some time. After few attempts I was doing a good job. Divya extremely when she saw I was near to perfect when it came to wearing saree.
Reetu was a perfectionist she even taught me every little aspect of female life. After receiving all those advice from her and Divya I felt as if I had transformed myself completely. Next morning Reetu called me and said my name was Shortlisted in the top 15. I was happy the whole day we kept chatting about what it I go on to win the competition. Reetu thought I should continue my life as female but I thought other way round. There was a lot of time to decide for that now I needed to concentrate on winning the competition.
In the morning I woke up early Reetu helped me to prepare myself. By the time we reached the hall there were people waiting and we went inside the other contestants had also arrived. It was much much big than I had thought cameras, lots of people all together I was facing all this for the first time in my life. No need to say I felt nervous as hell. Reetu did my full makeup in the room other contestants were also doing their own with the help of their makeup artist. Soon the announcement was made we were asked to get ready to enter the stage one by one. It was completely different from what I had thought. All of us entered the stage introduced ourselves. All of were in modern outfit. Then it was turn for causal outfit and again all contestants including me changed ourselves and entered the stage for the 2nd time. We just stood there and the judges who were all female had a closer look at us. And after the casual dress round it was bridal last round of the competition infact.This time we were given a bit more time to prepare ourselves. Reetu once again quickly got in her act.
First she helped me wear a red saree. then the bridal makeup as the theme demanded. A lots of jeweleries and finally a nose ring coming right down to my lips to complete the makeover. I almost felt like weights being added to my body with all those jeweleries. And then came the announcements I quickly got ready, Reetu just patted on my back it was enough to increase my confidence a bit. As I walked in the bridal dress it was the best feel I had got for these 15 days. It was not the ideal stage to get lost in myself but I wanted to. Somehow I controlled my emotions and focused on the bigger picture. When we entered the stage judges had a one last hard look at us before the results were about to announced. They also called all the helping hands people who helped us in the stage. Reetu came and Stood beside me. My nervousness kept on increasing as the time for the result came near and near. I had no bounds for happiness when my name was announced as the winner. Something that I hadn't expected when I first registered for the competition. Cameras were clicking people making noises it was something I had never witnessed in my whole life atleast for me. It was a huge moment for me and Reetu who has helped me in every way she possibly could.
After the final announcement a bit of celebration and we came home. I hadn't even changed my dress my lucky dress as I should say. I was in big dilemma now I just took part for the money I could win but life had given me something more than I expected. Malini Was a famous person now and the guy behind the makeup well no body knew him. I had to choose between Malini and the old myself. With name and fame attached with Malini I decided to go with Malini. First few weeks as Malini were busy lots of traveling meeting people for shows. But Reetu was by my side in my every journey.
After few busy weeks I was thinking how to plan my future life. All these day I was so busy I didn't got even time to think about myself. I knew living double life for me would be difficult specially with more people recognizing me as Malini. I asked for advise from Divya. Divya said it would be for you and Reetu if she accepts you as her wife in that condition you can live as Malini in home and away as well. I liked the idea very much after all Reetu was the one who created Malini and if anyone deserved Malini it was her. So with great hope I asked Reetu to accept me as her wife. Reetu agreed without any hesitations indeed it was great for both of us. So we decided to arrange simple ceremony inside the house itself assisted by Divya. Reetu herself dressed me as a bride in that lucky bridal dress which I had worn during the competition. Wow same dress during two huge moments of my life. I felt lucky to have someone like Reetu who had stood beside me in my every journey till now. But I also had to keep in mind she was my husband now and I had to give her some respect. After the Rituals Divya guided me to our room.
I was waiting for Reetu to arrive finally the time had come for me to submit to my husband. Reetu lifted my veil and started kissing me. I replied her back the nosering was disturbing her so I asked her to take it off she gave a smile. I knew what it was all about the night was fantastic.I had almost lived as woman for more than 3 weeks and finally I got the most pleasurable moment of a woman's life.
Now I didn't have to worry anymore I had got a loving husband in Reetu. I could focus on my life as a female so I decided to go for few changes in my body which Reetu agreed. I did surgery to remove my muscles of my thighs cheeks and other parts my body would look like more of a female. Few hormone injections so my body could get more curves.After the surgery and hormone implant my physical appearance too changed. Now I could wear any dress from Skirts to Saree and everything suited me well. My professional life too was also on track Reetu used to assist me everywhere I went. She was my manager, beautician and also my husband. I have also learned to manage my personal life and professional life a lot. I have a image of independent women in public. Reetu has given me enough liberty outside the house but at home My mornings starts with my husbands blessing it's a ritual every morning I touch my husbands feet after both of us wake up and go to the kitchen to prepare tea. I dress like a traditional housewife lost of jeweleries and pallu of saree covering my head and not to forget the nosering. It has become the most important accessory of my life once I didn't wear it and Reetu scolded me from that day I never forget to wear the nose ring, Reetu likes to see me like this when we are at home. There has been a remarkable change in my life but I have managed it well Divya also has helped me a lot when it comes to knowing Reetu's likes and Dislikes. Both of us are happy this way.............
