My Whispers : A Journey of Self-Discovery"

A Night of Fun and Friendship"

As the weekend approached, excitement buzzed in the air like electricity. Aditi and Shruthi had decided to host a special girls’ night at Shruthi’s place, and this time, I was to be a part of it as Suhasini. Aditi was particularly eager to see me in a saree, and I could feel a mixture of anticipation and nervousness bubbling inside me.

“Don’t worry, Suhasini! It’s going to be so much fun!” Aditi beamed, practically bouncing with excitement. “I’ll bring over a few sarees and accessories. And since you’re my size, my blouses will definitely fit you!”

I nodded, trying to hide my growing thrill at the thought of dressing up fully. The idea of spending a whole night as Suhasini, with Aditi and Shruthi, felt like a dream. I spent the day leading up to it imagining how beautiful I could look in a saree, the fabric draping around me, making me feel like a queen.

When I arrived at Shruthi’s place that evening, the atmosphere was already vibrant with anticipation. Aditi had brought an array of sarees, each one more colorful and elaborate than the last, along with bangles, jewelry, and makeup essentials. Shruthi greeted me at the door with a huge smile and an affectionate hug.

“Ready to be our girly girl for the night?” she teased, glancing at the pile of outfits and accessories spread out on the couch.

I giggled nervously, “I guess I am!”

We began the transformation almost immediately. The first saree Aditi chose was a beautiful, flowing blue fabric adorned with silver motifs. She draped it expertly around my waist, the soft material gliding against my skin. “Just wait until you see how stunning you’ll look!” she exclaimed as she tucked the pleats in, making sure it fell perfectly.

Next came the blouse, a snug fit that highlighted my figure in a way I had never seen before. “See? You look amazing!” Aditi said, adjusting the neckline. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and felt a thrill at the sight of the girl looking back at me.

Then it was time for the makeup. Shruthi took charge of the makeup session, excited to transform me into a stunning version of Suhasini. “Let’s start with the foundation,” she said, applying a creamy base to even out my skin tone. I felt the coolness of the product as it glided smoothly over my cheeks and forehead, creating a perfect canvas.

“Next, we’ll add some contouring,” she continued, expertly using a bronzer to define my cheekbones and jawline. “This will help give your face that lovely shape.” I marveled at how she blended the makeup seamlessly, transforming my face with each stroke.

“Now, let’s work on the eyes,” Shruthi said, pulling out a palette filled with vibrant colors. She chose a shimmering gold for the eyelids, applying it with precision, followed by a deeper shade in the crease to add depth. “You want your eyes to pop,” she explained, and I watched in fascination as she created the perfect eye look.

Next came the eyeliner. “This is where the magic happens,” Shruthi said, carefully applying a winged eyeliner that made my eyes look larger and more expressive. “And now, mascara to make those lashes flutter!” she finished, and I couldn’t help but bat my eyes at the mirror, loving the new look.

“Finally, let’s add some color to your lips!” Aditi chimed in, choosing a vibrant pink lipstick that complemented the saree beautifully. As she applied it, I felt a rush of excitement—this was the finishing touch that brought the whole look together.

“Now for the accessories!” Aditi declared. She draped a sparkling necklace around my neck and added dangling earrings that sparkled with every movement. Then she layered on the bangles, their jingle filling the room with a joyful sound. “You’re going to be the most beautiful girl tonight,” she teased as she slipped a bindi onto my forehead.
