The girls wasted no time taking Raveen to a beauty parlor. They selected a peach-colored saree with intricate embroidery, matching accessories, and a pair of elegant sandals. At the parlor, the beauticians styled his hair, shaped his eyebrows, and applied subtle makeup that enhanced his delicate features. By the end of the session, Raveen had transformed into Raveena—a charming young woman with grace and elegance.

When Raveena stepped out, the girls were speechless. Kavya exclaimed, “You look stunning! No one would believe you’re not a woman.” Raveena blushed, feeling a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

At the function, Chaitra’s family welcomed the group warmly. The rituals were vibrant and deeply traditional. From decorating the young girl with flowers and jewelry to the family elders blessing her for a prosperous future, every moment was filled with joy and cultural significance. Raveena, blending seamlessly with her friends, participated enthusiastically, drawing compliments from everyone present. It was a day of bonding and newfound confidence for her.

Back at the office, the bond between the four deepened. However, one day, Kavya noticed Raveen looking unusually downcast in the cafeteria. Concerned, she asked, “What’s wrong, Raveen? You’ve been so quiet lately.”

After some hesitation, Raveen admitted, “People at my PG keep mocking me for my voice and behavior. It’s exhausting.”

The girls exchanged worried glances. Priya said, “You don’t have to stay there. Why not move in with us?”

Raveen looked surprised. “But what about your neighbors? They’ll notice.”

Roshini grinned. “We’ll tell them you’re Raveena—our friend and roommate. And if they ask about Raveen, we’ll say you’re her twin brother who visits occasionally.”

Kavya added, “Think about it! You’ll get to be yourself at home and spend more time with us.”

After much persuasion and reassurances, Raveen finally agreed. “Alright,” he said with a smile. “But only if we’re all on the same page.”

Kavya clapped her hands in excitement. “Shopping time!” she yelled, causing heads to turn in the cafeteria.

The group went on another shopping spree, this time to set up Raveena’s new wardrobe. They picked out casual kurtis, leggings, nightwear, and even some accessories. Raveen, feeling more at ease with his friends, enjoyed the experience.

Living as Raveena at the apartment brought new adventures. Raveena joined the ladies in society activities like rangoli competitions, festive celebrations, and even cooking classes. Her natural charm and kindness won over the neighbors, who began treating her like one of their own. The trio’s support made Raveena feel more accepted than ever.
