Chapter 20 - Uma akka nalungu

Next morning everyone went to Uma Akka house for her nalungu(nalungu-in tamil- haldi festival in hindi-ritual in India where people will apply turmeric paste to bride in the name of her groom . It also said that If any unmarried boy or unmarried girl apply haldi on each other it means they belong to them)

Rupali -

I don't know what Arjun see in that patikaadu. I am more beautiful than her.I am having size zero figure But still Arjun sees her only.

Arjun- After reaching Uma akka house . I didn't see Aaru once.

She's was busy in serving refreshments to people.

I thought of confessing my love only after bringing my aaru back.But on seeing her ,I couldn't control my feelings.

The only person who can understand my feelings is Riyaz. As he cannot see his Madhu also.

Later Poorva amma took Aara to apply nalangu on Uma akka.

She strictly warned that no gents should enter the hall where nalungu is happening.

I couldn't control my curiosity to see the rituals

I thought what will women do in this ritual

I could see the same curiosity in Riyaz eyes

We then planned to dress in women clothes and sneak into the function hall.

Function hall:

Function hall was filled with traditional music, dance, women laughter.

We couldn't see a single man

Even the traditional musicians were female

Finally I saw Aara standing next to Uma akka holding turmeric vessel.

Poorva amma asked Aara, "Did the transgenders arrived. They have to take Aarthi and remove evil eyes from her"

Hiding our faces we went to apply turmeric face on Uma akka.

I changed my voice to female tone I blessed Uma akka "Stay happy by having kids my dear" and then went near my Aaru as she was holding turmeric vessel. She wore an yellow colour saree with loose her.

Oh my God, 'She never leaves a chance to bring me to her attention'

I just want to go and hug her tightly and cage her within my hands.

Unknowingly I went closer to her ,my mother stopped me and said,"Listen guys,Bride is there not here"

Then I went to Uma Akka and applied turmeric paste in her face.

I badly want to apply it to my Aaru.

Then people started dancing.I wanted to dance with my Aaru.So I took her hand and started dancing with her. "Idicha pacharisi"song was playing in background.

She then held my hand tightly and asked,"Arjun what are you doing here.Get out before Poorva athai sees"

I told ,"Why should girls have all the fun . Even boys will have.Continue dancing"

As many people were dancing some started pushing me and others.Unknowingly someone pushed me and I fell on my Aaru .

I thought "Arjun don't miss the chance. Apply turmeric paste on her".

Before I could grab turmeric paste she got up.I thought "How could you miss this chance"

I thought to play drama with her. I took turmeric on my right hand and went again in crowd.

she asked,"Why are you going in there. we can dance her itself"

I who cannot miss another opportunity said,"I 'll be dancing without falling this time,even if 10 people push me. I ll not fall."

Then we both danced again.This time"kala chashma " was played and we started dancing wearing a coolers.

Then this time someone pushed Aaru on me.

I wanted to thank the person who pushed with force on me.

Because of the push, Aaru fell on me and accidentally kissed my lips.

Me who don't want to miss another signalled Riyaz to push her each time when she tried to get up.

She kissed me twice in public all these time.When she was about to fell down again, I was ready with my right hand to apply turmeric on her .

This time when she fell, her left cheeks accidentally landed on my right hand and turmeric got applied on her cheeks

Completing the mission when I tried to getup someone pushed me again and this time my right cheek landed on her left cheek accidentally.

On feeling turmeric paste on my cheek I was so happy but I didn't show it in my face.

Then my mother took me away and we danced together. As my concentration was only on dancing I didn't realise when my wig fell down.

Seeing me my mother grabbed my ears and said, "Why did you come here? And why there is turmeric paste in your cheek"

She then spotted Aaru with turmeric paste in her cheeks

As I know that I was caught, I started moving away as if nothing happened.

My mother shouted "Arjun ,you arrogant brat. Go where ever you want to go.At the end you have to come home right. I ''ll see you then"

Rupali - On seeing the trans genders I made a plan to make Aara and her close and to show intimate moments to Arjun. But I didn't knew my plan will back fire on me. I never knew that TransGender was Arjun and Riyaz.

All this is happening because of this "pattikadu". I 'll make your life a hell you devil.

Aaradhana- In room,I saw a toy that had bunny face and pig body.I thought why this toy resemble. I compared my face with that toys face in mirror . Then I saw my cheek with turmeric paste.

I touched my cheek and felt the moisture of turmeric paste.Unknowingly I started to blush.I started remembering how Arjun danced with me and how I kissed him.

Though it's an accident ,I wanted to cherish the moment for the rest of my life.

Then chinamma came and locked the door.She then gave me a tight slap.Telling "I told you not to grow unnecessary feelings in your mind. But you started lure Arjun with your body.Dont spoil my plan you idiot.I 'll make Arjun to marry Rupali .So all her property will belong to him.he 'll get richer .Then I'll get Anitha to married to Sanjay.So so all the wealth will belong to my only son Sanju .. haa Sanjay. so if your dare to ruin my plan I'll burn your ugly face .Then arjun will never look at you"

Then she took the heated straightener and placed it in toys lips telling,"I know what happened today is accident. If it happens real then" she pushed my head to see the toys mouth .With evil smile she said,"You know what will I do" and she left.

I touched the burnt mouth of toy.Then touched my mouth.Tears started flowing from my eyes.The turmeric which was there little in cheek was also washed away by my tears.

I asked God, "God please kill me. You are giving me happiness.But when I start admiring my happiness why are you doubling the pain"
