Soulful ShiVi Stories

Nautankis

While emptying the clothes into the washing machine, Raavi noticed a stain on Shiva's shirt. After closely inspecting it, she discovered it was a lipstick stain. She grabbed the shirt and marched into her room to talk to her husband. "Who did this?" she demanded angrily. Shiva raised his head from the book he was reading and was about to say something when he was interrupted.

"Meeeeeeeeeee!!!! a 4-year-old Shivi exclaimed as she entered the room, "I was trying out your makeup, Mamma." Her face was caked in makeup, with her eyes a strange mix of gold and pink eyeshadow, her cheeks pink from the overuse of blush, and her lips smudged with red lipstick. "Am I not the most beautiful girl in Somnath?" she exclaimed as she examined herself in the mirror. "Papa said the pink lipstick didn't go with my dress, so I wiped it off with his shirt." "Doesn't red lipstick look better on me, Papa?" She inquired. "Bilkul apni Maa pe gayi hai, ek number ke nautanki hai dono," said Shiva, drawing glares from both the Nautankis.
