Raghu and his wife, Radha were devastated by what just happened. Their daughter Neha's marriage is canceled on the day of the wedding.
Neha is in tears because of the humiliation. She doesn't want this marriage, she wanted to study more but because of her father, she agreed to marry a guy but now guy has ran away for someone.
Sumanth, Neha's elder brother and her sister in law, Anjali tried to console her.
Marriage is stopped on the wedding day, how will marry her now? , cried Radha
Just stop it mom, what bad happened. Neha can easily get another match but I recommend you and dad to allow her to study more in abroad , said Sumanth angrily
Neha felt really happy listening it from her brother. Like any other siblings they always fought, but when it mattered they would look out for each other.
Raghu and Radha were still thinking about it.
There is nothing more to think about. She is still very young let her continue her studies, said Sumanth
After few days of thinking both Raghu and Radha agreed to send Neha abroad to study.
Listening to it, Neha immediately hugged Sumanth and thanked him for his support.
Within that week Neha went to abroad.
After a month,
Mom, I am going for a hair cut, said Sumanth while going out.
Radha quickly went to him and stopped him.
What do you think you doing? Asked Radha angrily
Sumanth didn't understand, what she was talking about.
After week before your sister's marriage, we prayed for the God and made a vow not to cut your hair till she gets married , said Radha angrily
Yeah, that marriage is stopped, so I think I can cut it now, said Sumanth
Marriage is stopped but we still need to follow the vow. It has been our family tradition for a long time and now I won't allow you to break it , said Radha
Sumanth was annoyed. He went to his room and told his wife about it. At first Anjali felt bad but later she started to laugh looking Sumanth.
Sumanth didn't understand why she is laughing.
Why are you laughing? Asked Sumanth
I am just imagining your future. I don't think Neha will get married at least for 4 years. With proper care, you hair will reach your hips for sure, said Anjali laughing
Sumanth was stunned. He didn't think about it.
Anjali put her braid forward and said, look at my braid, soon you will have to braid your hair like this.
6 years later....
Radha, where is Sumanth? We are getting late for work. We have to open our saree shop before 9 am, shouted Raghu
Radha angrily went Sumanth's room and got angrily with what she saw.
Anjali, how many times, I have told you not to help him with his hair. He has to do it on his own, scolded Radha
Just then Anjali completed braiding his hair and secured his braid with a scrunchie.
Sumanth stood up and started to walk past Radha.
Radha immediately caught his braid and Sumanth felt little pain. She immediately removed the scrunchie and undid his braid.
Raghu, you go alone. Sumanth will came with me, said Radha.
I will give you 30 min, neatly brush and braid your hair, warned Radha
Sumanth got angry. He took the hair brush from Anjali and started to brush his hair.
Anjali was smiling looking at Sumanth. She really liked to see her husband brush and braid his hair.
After brushing it for a while, he started braiding his hair.
After braiding it, he put his braid back angrily. The braid swung and hit his butt.
Hey, don't do that, scolded Anjali
After Radha got ready. She saw Sumanth's braid and asked, it's that so hard to do, is it?
On the way to their saree shop, many people greeted Sumanth and his mom but no one looked weirdly at Sumanth, they have got used to seeing Sumanth in a braid.
In the shop Sumanth has fans for his braid. All customers really like Sumanth's long and thick hair.
At night they have spoken to Neha and got to know, she is coming to India in few days.
Everyone was really happy. Then Sumanth was little embarrassed. Till now Neha doesn't about his hair, he has requested everyone not to tell Neha about it.
In few days Neha came to India. Raghu and Radha went to pick her up in the airport.
Sumanth wanted to hid his hair but instead Radha warned him to braid his hair and face Neha.
When Neha came home she immediately hugged Anjali with joy. They used to be so close before Neha went abroad.
Then Neha looked at her brother, Sumanth. She noticed he has long hair but doesn't know long it is.
Brother, you seem to have grown your hair like Dhoni, said Neha with a smile.
Like Dhoni? Laughed Anjali and swung Sumanth around. He turned and his braid swung and rested on his butt.
Neha was stunned. She immediately ran to him and took his braid in her hands.
She inspected it and realized it's his real hair, not any extensions thought Neha.
You didn't tell me about this, said Neha looking at Anjali.
Sorry, he required me not to tell you about his hair, responded Anjali.
Neha angrily pulled his braid and ran away.
Owch, shouted Sumanth and started to chase Neha to hit her.
Looking at them fighting everyone started laughing.
Neha don't pull his hair, said Radha with a smile
He used to pull my hair when I was going to school. Now it's payback time, shouted Neha
Radha laughed and thought it's only fair.
Even after a week, Neha still couldn't believe her brother's long hair.
One day at night Sumanth was watching TV in the living room and the ladies were outside chit chatting.
If I was here instead of going abroad, I would have some how draped a saree on him, said Neha with a smile.
Even we thought about it multiple times, said Radha and smiled looking at Anjali.
Neha giggled and asked them curiously, did you both asked him to wear a saree?
No, we bought a saree and stitched the blouse as well but we didn't ask him. We know he won't agree , said Radha
For the last 3 years, whenever we bought a saree for ourselves, we bought a saree for him as well and stitched the blouses as well, said Anjali.
Listening to it, Neha raised her eye brows.
So, how many sarees you bought for him till now? Asked Neha
Around 25 sarees, replied Radha
Neha was surprised by it.
OK, I will think of something. On Diwali Sumanth is going to wear his first saree, said Neha confidently
Both Radha and Anjali knows, if Neha says she can do, She will do it.
Both Radha and Anjali giggled looking at each other.
The day before Diwali, as expected Sumanth was shaving his beard. As he was fully concentrated, he didn't notice Neha standing near him. Just when he was shaving near the mustache, Neha pulled his hand a little. She immediately said sorry but the damage is already done.
When Sumanth looked in the mirror, he was stunned, half of his mustache is gone. He got really angry on Neha.
Neha acted like she was really sorry. With no choice, Sumanth shaved his face.
After shaving his face was burning.
Sumanth, I am really sorry. Here take this, this will help your after shave burns, said Neha.
Sumanth thought, Neha didn't do it voluntarily, so he forgave her.
What is it? Asked Sumanth taking a cream given by Neha
Just apply it to your face and shave again, said Neha
Sumanth did like Neha told him. When he saw his face in the mirror, he was stunned. There is no trace of facial hair. It's so smooth.
Sumanth was annoyed of Neha.
When Radha and Anjali saw his face, they surprised. His face became so feminine but they didn't comment about it.
Next day,
Early in the morning Anjali, Radha and Neha were all ready in sarees.
Sumanth took a bath and as soon as he came out, electricity was gone.
Anjali was waiting in the room. Before he can on the torch in his phone.
No need of light, I will help you to get ready, said Anjali seductively
Sumanth laughed and agreed.
Anjali took a white petticoat and asked Sumanth to step into the dhoti.
Sumanth was confused. Why should he step into it instead of wrapping it around his waist.
Anjali understand Sumanth has some doubts.
I guessed your waist size and prepared it to wear without all the wrapping, said Anjali
Sumanth didn't understand much but he stepped into it.
Then Anjali started to adjust it around his waist. Sumanth didn't understand why the dhoti feels different.
They she took his blouse and slipped his hands into it. Sumanth didn't feel right, it's doesn't seem like a shirt, before can react Anjali hooked the blouse behind him and tied the blouse strings as well.
Just then electricity came and he saw Radha and Neha smiling at him. Then he looked himself and he was stunned. He is in a blouse and a petticoat.
He got really angry and started to shout.
Sumanth we decided to drape saree on you. Please continue operate it will be fun, said Neha
No, shouted Sumanth
Remember all your clothes are locked , said Neha
Sumanth angrily sat on the bed. He tried to remove the blouse but he was unsuccessful.
You don't have to expose your body like that. You can cover it with this beautiful saree, teased Neha
He is getting annoyed. He understood Radha, Anjali and Neha are determined to dress him in a saree. He has no other clothes as well.
OK fine. You can drape a saree on me but it's only for an hour, said defeated Sumanth.
Ladies wasted no time in making him one of them. Radha took the saree and started to drape it on Sumanth. While Neha and Anjali adjusting the saree here and there.
Radha made the pleats and tucked into his petticoat and Neha got down on her knees and started to arrange them.
Sumanth stood angrily while Anjali pinned the pallu on his left shoulder.
Once the saree is perfectly draped, he was taken to the dressing table.
Radha took the hair brush and started to brush his long hair.
Anjali and Neha were deciding which jewelry looks good on him.
Once Radha completed braiding his hair. Neha started to apply make up. She has become an expert now, so she perfectly did his make up.
Radha took the jhumkas and she prayed for the God that Sumanth's ear piercings shouldn't be closed. They were pierced when he was kid.
When she tried to insert the jhumka into piercing, it went in smoothly. Anjali took another jhumka and fixed to his other ear. Then Neha took the matching necklace and fixed around his neck.
Based on his bracelet size, Anjali bought matching bangles and they fitted him perfectly.
Neha got down on her knees, moved his saree hem a little and fixed anklets to his legs.
Radha placed a bindi on his forehead and finished the look. When he looked himself in the full mirror, he was ashamed. There is no trace of a man. Radha, Anjali and Neha surprised by his beauty in the saree.
He doesn't want to leave the room and face his father but with Anjali on one side and Neha on the other side, he stood no chance. Radha opened the door, and there stood Raghu. At first didn't see Sumanth.
What we're you doing in Sumanth's room till now? Asked Raghu. He has been waiting for coffee. Then he looked at Sumanth who was standing between Anjali and Neha.
There was silent for a moment.
What's this Radha? What you did is wrong? Shouted Raghu
Both Anjali and Neha were also scared along with Radha. They all stood silently. Sumanth was smiling thinking his father would ask them to remove everything.
I mean, he has the longest hair in our house and there are no flowers in his hair, said Raghu and started laughing.
Listening to it everyone started laughing except Sumanth.
Radha kept aside some flowers for Sumanth. She bought them and pinned in his hair.
Now can one of you ladies bring be coffee, asked Raghu teasing Sumanth
Radha and Anjali were going to kitchen. Sumanth understood his dad will tease him if he stays, so he followed his mom and wife to the kitchen.
Neha, you no need to go. 3 women are enough to do the kitchen work, said Raghu.
Neha started laughing and Sumanth went to kitchen angrily.
Hey don't get too angry, take it as part of the fun, said Radha
After giving the coffee to Raghu. Neha decided to have a photo shoot. At first, Sumanth didn't agree but Neha told him he can change into pant and shirts after the shoot.
Neha made him to give some female poses and Anjali helped him as well.
He sat on the floor and Radha kept his braid and flowers on his shoulder.
Sumanth hold your braid with your left hand, requested Neha.
Sumanth did just like he was told hoping this would end.
Everyone started to take pictures with different combinations.
Finally Anjali, Neha and Sumanth decided to take a picture together.
Sumanth stood in the middle while Anjali and Neha stood either side of him.
Anjali and Neha have long hair just like Sumanth. So they played their braid forward along with some flowers. Sumanth was embarrassed do it at first but then because of the insistence of Radha. He also did the same.
Radha took the picture and felt very very happy.
You ladies are looking really beautiful, said Radha
I am not a lady, shouted Sumanth
Just look at this picture and tell me do you see any man here SUMA, questioned Radha teasingly.
SUMA! That's actually a nice name for him, said Neha with a smile and Sumanth started fight with Neha.
OK, you sisters can fight inside the house, it's getting very hot outside, said Radha
As soon as they went inside, Sumanth asked Anjali to help him change his clothes. Anjali told him she is too tired now, she would help him later.
At night Anjali was helping him to remove the saree and the jewelry. She knows he will be angry on her. So as soon she undressed him, she started to kiss him and he started to kiss her back
You were looking so beautiful SUMA, said Anjali
Sumanth didn't care what Anjali called him. Anjali really liked the smell of jasmine flowers coming from him.
Suma can you wear flowers whenever we have sex, requested Anjali
Sumanth is in the mood, so he immediately agreed.
Since that day everyone started to call Sumanth as Suma including his dad. At first he got very angry then later he understood he can't do anything about it.
