Cousin's model

I was expecting my 10th results when i was spending my holidays with my uncles family in native. my cousin Radha was doing her degree in fashion designing. This was her final year so she was busy.  otherwise she used to spend most of her free times with me. she was real friendly and kind person. only remarkable attitude of hers was that she was a optimist and never went back on her decision. so this is the background.

when i was playing football inside her room i accidently  kicked it on her model figure. i was scared as a cat when the model broke into pieces hitting the ground. i was stunned for a moment.  she has already warned me about the model as it was difficult to find one of the same size.  i went down to the kitchen and explained the issue to my aunt who said the radha will decide what to do with u. i got the same answer from uncle as we all knew  she had been working hard for this project.

i had my instinct and thought i would be better to let her know by phone so she could think of some alternative. when i brought up the issue to her she was with her classmate so she just listen to me and hung up the phone. when she returned home i could tell she was in hurry to see the model as i could hear her bike roaring. she went straight to her room. i was asked to apologize to her immediately before she kills me in anger. when i entered her room i could hear her weeping. i went hopeless. i had never seen her cry or disappointed. she just asked me to leave her alone putting a fake smile on her face. but i couldnt move i sat near the study table. the whole evening passed by without an single word.

then we were interrupted by our aunt who served us tea and asked us to call our old neighbor Mrs.Latha who was her previous college principal. i saw a little hope in that and asked her to come with me to her house as Latha mam's grand daughter Suzi was my friend. while she was cleaning up her tears i made a phone call to her to see if she was around. when i explained her the mess she asked me to bring all the project details with us. which i gladly accepted and was glad that i could find a replacement model there.

We reached there around in about 20 mins. Mrs latha greeted us and then started to scold me which was enjoyed by Suzi as i always bullied her. Then she took a look at her project details and gasped when she knew there was less than a months time for final presentation.  i curiously asked if we could find a replacement model from her. i just asked me to keep quiet. Suzi then explained that model need to be of same size and height otherwise the costumes will not match and Radha could loose her chance for scholarship. Again i was lost in thought.

after a while mrs. latha came up with an idea. she asked if Suzi was willing to be Radha's model. Suzi took her time to think and there was pin drop silence. i was sure that she would accept the offer. i also promised not to tease her if she helped out. that must have agitated her. then she opened her mouth

"you always teased and made fun of me as i was a girl. i have to get permission from father and i dont think he would let me be a model. but there is another option. we are of same size and height. you could pose as a model and no one will find out".

i was dumb stuck. To my surprise, other two had already agree and Radha started ringing my mom for her permission. i was just about protest when she smiled thanking my mother and hung up the phone. mrs. latha and Suzi volunteered to help us. They agreed that the preparation should start from tomorrow as the deadline was nearing and i should be thankful as Radha still had a chance to participate despite my fault.

The tricked piercing

The tricked piercing

the next morning I was woken earily in the morning as the ceremony had many things to do.  My mother asked me to do the toilet routine and get ready.  When I came back with the towel around my waist I could see that there was a kollam in middle of the  backyard with a wooden plank in it.  My grandmother also joined us and made me sit in the plank.  Then she applied turmeric paste all over my body.  Meanwhile my grandmother has started to heat the water with neem leaves in it. It smell was pleasant. I could feel the wind blowing through my entire body.  Then I was bathed in warm water and was taken to the pooja room.  There I was told to read a entire book of holy mantras.  When I opened my eyes my uncle presented me with a gift.  I was anxious to open it but was stopped by my mother.  All this while I was wearing a pavadai around my chest like a lady.  While I was in the pooja room both my grandmother and mom were ready in red saree.

When I went to the room with my mother I opened the gift to find the red saree and matching blouse in it. Then I finally understood that all the shopping on the way to temple was for me.  I was scared thinking about the piercing pain. My mom sensed it and took the saree from me and started wrapping it around me.  My grandmother started to get the jewels and wig ready.  When I wore the saree , wig and flower. I got some jasmine in my hair and big jimmikis in my ears.  They almost touched my shoulder and sensation was unique.

I was shy to come out in the saree but my mom gave me confidence that no one will guess that I am a boy.  I felt even more shy.  Then I took my time and came out to see that the car was waiting for us.  Then we went to the temple and did all the ceremony.

We were accompanied by our eldest lady.  Then the jewel and saree were given to be kept under goddess feet to do the pooja.  When the pooja was over we came to backside of the temple with the pound.  The barber was ready there to shave my fathers head.  It was really funny to see him and we took some pictures of it. To my utter shock he also cuted my mother hair at the tip.  I felt sorry for her but she said that I was for my good.  Then there was a trouble the goldsmith arranged for me met with a accident and could come.  The eldest said that it was the auspicious day and time was running.  She told me that she would pierce me herself.  Now I was scared.  Because mother told me that the goldsmith had a gun which would do piercing painless like a pinch.  But now I had no chance but to accept it.

As the temple was well know for piercing ceremony the temple priest suggested that the eldest to use the equipment from the nearby room used by the goldsmith.  The eldest left with the priest to make things ready.  My uncle being caring had brought a lotion that would numb my nose to ease the piercing pain.  He holded for  moment and kept in on my left nostril.  After 15 mins I was called to the eldest.  My uncle did not come as he did not wish to see my crying.  When we enter the place I could see the same kollam as in backyard.  She asked me to sit in the plank. I could see the a pot of hot coal and a silver needle in it.  Now I was dead scared.   My mother gave her the two jewel boxes.  I could see two stud in it.  I thought it was earring for me.  But what really scared was when she asked the priest to hold my hand at the back.  I started to get up to run away but was held down by my mother and grandmother.  By now the priest had locked my hands to the behind and my mother had cupped my ear preventing my head from shaking.  First the eldest took a needle dipped in turmeric paste and marked my ears.  I tried to relax but not for long she kept the needle in the right nostril.  I thought I was in trouble.  The my mom corrected it is the left side or so did it think.

She pierced my left ear and left the needle it and proceeded to pierce my right ears.  Then she slowly undid the stud and replaced the needle with stud in shape of mango. Already my face was red like tomato and I could feel the heat in my head. So far I have not cried only tears were visible in my contained eyes.  When she reached for the hot needle in the coal tears started falling and I wanted to run for my life.  I refused to show her my nose my looking down at the kollam.  When she teasingly twisted my ears and my grandmother lifted my face.  I could feel the hot needle on the top of my nostril. She just flipped my nose and pierced it painfully and I started to scream.  Then she again slowly took the stud and undid it and placed it no the needle and pulled the needle.  This was more painful than the piercing.  The started to scream for help and try to see my mothers face but the tears had blocked my view.  Then she removed the needle and placed in the coal.  Then she took the screw and locked the stud in place.  My mom bowed down and kissed my nose.  Then the eldest turned the stud to relieve me from pain.  Though the pain in intense I wanted to get up and ran for the car.  Since I was busy with the pain I forgot that I was still locked in the priest arm.  Then I could feel someones hand in my right nose.  Then the needle came with painful piercing with the same procedure.  The whole temple was echoed by my scream and I managed to gather some common women of the locality.  They started to gossip among themselves which I was not aware of.  When the second stud was locked the priest blessed me and released my hands.  My reflex wanted to touch my nose but was stopped my the eldest.  God I wanted to kill her then.  Then she started to rotate my right nose.  I relieved some pain.  When I got up I  could see my mother crying herself by this incident.  I hugged her and heard the local women laugh.  Even my mother has only left nose pierced.  I was mad at her to trick me in double nose piercing. So I switched side to my grandmother.  When she laughingly commented that I was her and eldest plan to have my nose pierced on both side and my mother knew about this just in the morning. 

we returned to the temple to join my uncle I could not find my father to see him shooting all my piercing act in his handy cam. I just covered my face blocking the view and touched my nose and ouch!  My uncle who was first shocked to see my right nose stud came near me and kissed it saying I was beautiful with both nose stud and he had surprise for me.  Then we went to worship the goddess. When we got to the car to return the eldest also accompanied us. As I was angry with her I asked whether she would be joining us in the farm house.  My dad got angry over me and was about to begin to scold me when the eldest interrupted and asked to remain calm.  I sat in the middle of my mom and eldest in the car.  So the car started I had fallen asleep and eldest started took me in her shoulder and started applying some oil on my studs.  When I woke up it was late in the night.  I found my mom and the grandmother in the room.  I asked my mother how will I return to my normal life with all these piercing. I was shocked when she commented “u dont have to” . Then she explained that I would have a private tutor for a year so I can dress in saree for a while.

background of tricked piercing

after my V std my father got a job in another city and had to move there . so he used to visit us once in a month and during festivals. Though our neighbors acknowledge me as a girl, i got a lot of teasing in school which made me angry over me. Though most of the teacher and friends respected me for my kind and helping nature there were bullies who teased me. it took me three years to get over those boys as i stood top in the class for three consecutive years and first in 100m dash for my age group students in school.

after my eighth standard my father got ill and my mom and i had to move with my father to take care of him. i had to work part time and ofcourse change my school. i part time job wasnt necessary as my grandparents and uncle were supportive but i insisted as i was reserved from the new environment.

then real story begins here fellas

i was aged 16 when i took my 10th exam. i had studied well and performed well in all my school test and was expecting high grades but unfortunately just a week before the exam i got sick and was bed ridden. the doctors confirmed it was seasonal fever and should not be worried about.

But I got weak and was unable to perform well in the exam and could not achieve the desired result though I obtained a decent mark. 

When the result was published I was in my grandparents house spending my vacation.  Our family members had gathered for discussing about my uncles marriage . when they came to know about my result the oldest one among them said that it was result for neglecting the promise made to the goddess and should be fulfilled.

The eldest lady of the family was a virgin priest and used to advice the family on many rituals and occasion. She said that my nose piercing should not be delayed and I should have my ear pierced again and my head shaved.  When I protested my father was willing to offer his hair instead of me.  But since my ear was already pierced I will have take a double piercing in ear closely.  Also I was asked not to remove the nose stud for a time period otherwise there is no use in offering to goddess.

Since I was in eleventh standard my grandparents had arranged for private tutoring and promised me nothing to fear.  Still these plans were not under my knowledge.  One day our family has arranged for a trip to our goddess temple.  On the journey my uncle brought a beautiful red saree and its accessories.  On the way we stopped in a jewellary shop to buy some jewels. I thought it was an offering to the temple.  We  reached the temple late at night and was told that we would rent a near by farm house so that we could spend some family time together.  My mother asked if I wanted to dress in saree that night was we both shared the same room. I willing agreed.  So asked me to wear the nightie for now.  I found it was new but did not ask any question.  Since I was really tired by the journey I was fallen asleep in no time.  Early morning I was woken by mother and she woke me bed coffee. When I was awake she asked me to strip to undies.  When I told her that I was shy. She never considered and stripped me and applied some lotion from the bottle.  She said that I was scented lotion and will give me pleasant scent and that it wont be available after she used it.  She told me to wait for 15 mins and told that the water from pump set is good so that I can experience the bath in the pump set.  True to her words the bath was fantastic and I enjoyed it. When I came back to the room I found my body was completely hairless.  I thought that the full force of the water from pump was the reason.  I asked my mother for my clothes as she was taking her bath and other have already left for the temple to make the necessary arrangements.  She told that me to wait. She came out wearing a red saree but not the one we brought from the store.  Still I was silent.

I waited for her till she finished her makeup. Then she expressed that she wanted to see me in pattu pavadai as a girl that she had wished in the temple.  I was afraid as I had not worn a female dress for 5 years.  She compromised me that others have already left for temple and wont be back until sunset and that she had excused herself by faking headache.  Now I had no other option as I had never disobeyed my mother.  I said ok.   But still I was worried of what would she say about my hairless body when she sees my legs.

Then the transformation began.  For the first time my mother has asked me to wear bra and panties. Though I was shocked I acted cool. But in the end she helped me wear the bra and hooked the blouse in the back and I wore the pavadai.  Then came her anklets and bangles.  When I wore the jimmiki I wanted to see the mirror but she stopped me.  She told me to close my eyes and fixed a long wig that touched my butt.  Then she made some mild makeup like hers.  Then brought the mirror and told me to open the eyes. During the entire transformation the room was dead silent that I could hear the clock tick atleast that was what I thought it was.  For some reason the blouse was perfect fit.  When I asked her she told me that she had given my shirt as a model to stitch the blouse and commented I looked beautiful than ever.

She asked to help her with the breakfast and to prepare the lunch for others which I gladly agreed.  She asked me to clean the dishes as they were left unused for a long period of time.  Every time I used my hand to clean the dishes I heard the sound of the bangles and moved accordingly which my mom never failed to notice and even now I could hear the clock tick.  When the other came for lunch I hid myself in the  room and asked my mother to tell that I was sleeping and will eat after they leave.  I locked the door and just lied on the bed feeling my soft skin.  Though I was dreaming picturing myself as a princess I used to be I could hear a huge laugher from the dining hall.

Later when I asked my mother about the laughter she just smiled and kissed my forehead.  She asked me to have my lunch with her and then asked me to do the dishes and come to the room as she wanted to show me something.  When I had finished my chores I returned to see my mother with my uncles laptop.  I could see her smile while looking at the laptop.  When I came closer I could see my picture in laotop and was shocked and started crying.  When she heard my sob when came and hugged and made me sit.  Then she narrated me the whole story so as why we were here at the temple and about the promise and offerings.  Then she told me that everything will be done for my wellness.  I remember weeping my mothers lap and had fallen asleep.  It was about sunset my mother woke me with another cup of coffee.  To her surprise I was relieved from the shock and embarassment but my face was a mess because of my tears.

She told me not to argue with the ceremony and promised me that I will look beautiful with a nose stud and we could look similar in that way.  When I asked about my school she told me that the school principal was her community member and has arranged for a years private schooling that will be taken care by his daughter.  I helped my mother prepared the dinner and when other returned my grandparents blessed that I looked like a princess.  But my uncle  just lifted me in air and started rotating me.  I knew he was a bodybuilder that never knew he could lift me so easily.  I was really happy and went to bed with mother after dinner.
