As the first rays of the sun filtered through the curtains, gently kissing the faces of the two lovebirds, Sanjana and Mohan, they stirred from sleep. With a long yawn and a bit of lazy stretching, they slowly woke up. Sanjana, still groggy, rubbed her eyes and stumbled out of bed. As she glanced at the mirror across the room, her eyes widened in utter disbelief.

Instead of her familiar, soft feminine face, staring back at her was a ruggedly handsome man. Her jaw dropped. Her delicate features had been replaced by chiseled cheekbones, a sharp jawline, and a well-groomed beard. Her slender shoulders were now broad and muscular, her nighty clinging awkwardly to this new, manly physique. She touched her chest and gasped-her breasts had disappeared, replaced by the hard, flat expanse of a man's torso. It wasn't a dream; this was real.

In a panic, Sanjana let out a high-pitched scream, only to be startled by the deep, booming voice that came out instead. She scrambled out of the room, running wildly as if she were being chased, her mind racing.

Meanwhile, Mohan, still half-asleep, dragged himself out of bed and made his way to the bathroom. Barely conscious, he reached down for his usual morning routine-only to find nothing. His eyes snapped open. "What the...?" he muttered, still half-dazed. He looked down again. His penis was gone.

As his hand flew up to his face, he felt something soft and unfamiliar. His heart raced. Strands of long, silky hair brushed against his cheeks. He stumbled to the mirror, blinking furiously, and gasped. The reflection staring back was not his own. It was the face of a beautiful woman, complete with high cheekbones, plump lips, and long, dark eyelashes. His chest felt strange and heavy. He looked down in horror. "Are these... breasts?" he muttered, his voice now soft and melodic. His oversized T-shirt hung awkwardly on his slender, feminine frame.

Panic set in as Mohan screamed and dashed out of the bathroom, running toward the living room. Just as he turned the corner, he collided with Sanjana-now a towering, muscular figure. They both crashed to the floor, groaning in unison. As they scrambled to get up, they both exclaimed at the same time, "What the fuuuuuck?!"

For a moment, they stood there in shock, staring at each other, speechless. Then, Sanjana broke the silence. "Mohan? Is that you?"

Mohan, still in disbelief, stared back. "Sanjana? Is that... you?"

They both stood frozen for a second before Sanjana burst out laughing. She gestured toward Mohan's new feminine form and said, "You're so sexy! I might just marry you ha ha ha!"

Mohan rolled his eyes, trying to suppress a grin. "Before you make fun of me, have you looked at yourself? We're both in the same boat, and it's sinking fast!"

Realizing the absurdity of the situation, they both laughed for a moment, the tension easing slightly. But soon, Mohan's face grew serious. "This isn't the time for jokes. We need to figure out what the hell happened."

Sanjana nodded, her expression sobering as well. "You're right. We have to think this through."

After a few minutes of pacing, they decided to call their families and ask for advice. Luckily, it was a holiday, so neither of them had to go to work. But that only meant they had more time to freak out about their bizarre new bodies. Sanjana picked up her phone but paused. "How do we explain this to our families? 'Hi Mom, guess what? I'm a man now!'"

Mohan snorted. "Yeah, and my mom will have a heart attack when she hears her son has turned into a woman."

They both sighed, sitting down on the couch, staring at each other. "What if this is permanent?" Sanjana asked, her voice tinged with worry.

"I don't know," Mohan replied, running his hands through his newly long hair. "But we're not going to solve this by panicking. Let's try to figure it out together."

They exchanged a determined look, realizing that whatever had happened, they were in this together. The shock had worn off, but the mystery of how to reverse this strange body swap was just beginning.
