When Janakamma suggested holding a traditional coming-of-age ceremony for Suma, Raghuram was startled.
He felt the timing was not right.
Among friends, many already believed Suma was his second daughter.
But among relatives, the matter remained largely unknown.
He advised patience.
"Let Suma complete Intermediate first.
Then we can gradually change the official records and admit her into a women's college.
Let us move forward carefully."
Janakamma agreed.
Suma was overjoyed.
Later she confessed to her father:
"At first, I became feminine only for Amma's sake.
But slowly I have realized something.
I truly like this life.
I feel happiest living as a woman.
This is not fascination with clothes or appearance.
It is who I am."
She spoke openly about her feelings.
Raghuram listened carefully.
He realized this was no longer simply about comforting Janakamma.
It was also about Suma's own heart.
Still, he urged patience.
For now, she should continue as she was and complete her studies.
Then they would move forward in a way everyone could accept.
Suma understood.
She focused on her exams.

Sister you are nice🥰
Thank you so much Maha Sis. You are also nice too sis.
Dear Chelli, Meghana, your translation is very beautiful. It looks as if it were original by itself. I have the story sequence very clearly in my mind. But due to to some work pressure I could not write immediately.
Dear Akka, I'm really thankful to you for your wonderful contributions to this site. The moment when I read your original story Aadamanasu, somehow it deeply connected to me. Today literally I took a day off and worked on the story. Thank you once again.. you please continue writing the remaining story and I will try my best to translate it.
