Niranjan agreed to take the role of "Nivedita" as a bridesmaid for his sister's wedding, experiences a month-long transformation guided by his mother and sister.
As the days passed, Nivedita settled into a routine with her sarees and half sarees. Each morning, she draped one with Aradhana’s guidance, perfecting the art as she’d promised. Her mother, Meera, watched with amusement, frequently teasing Nivedita about her newfound love for sarees. "Look at our saree girl," she would chuckle, her eyes filled with warmth. "You’re even more graceful than me sometimes!”
Nivedita would blush but laugh along, taking it all in stride, her confidence growing with each passing day. What had started as a challenge had turned into something she embraced willingly, feeling a special connection to the clothing and the experiences it brought.
One morning, as Nivedita was draping her saree, she overheard her mother teaching Aradhana household skills in the kitchen. Meera’s voice floated through the room, instructing her daughter on cooking, cleaning, and other domestic tasks with a practical wisdom that came from years of experience. Nivedita didn’t think much of it until, to her surprise, Meera’s voice called her over as well.
“Nivedita, why don’t you come join us? You can help your sister with the preparations,” Meera called, a knowing smile on her face.
Nivedita hesitated, a little uncertain. He’d never needed to know these things before, and the thought of working in the kitchen with his mother and sister felt strange at first. But he quickly realized that, deep down, he wanted to make the most of this time and do something that made Aradhana happy. So, with a smile, he walked into the kitchen, draped in his saree, and joined them.
The first few days were a learning curve, but with Meera’s patient instruction, Nivedita slowly got the hang of it. They started with simple tasks—peeling vegetables, stirring pots, and kneading dough. Meera made sure Nivedita learned each step carefully, explaining the best techniques and why they mattered. Gradually, he found himself drawn into the rhythm of the kitchen, discovering a sense of satisfaction in each task.
