Part 5
The next time they met at the hotel, Aashi sensed a new energy in Riya. Riya brought out a pair of colorful kurtis and asked Aashi to choose one. “Tonight, you take charge of your transformation,” she said, her voice steady yet tender. Aashi looked at her, slightly surprised, but took a deep breath and picked the deep maroon kurti.
Riya’s hands were softer, less guiding, as Aashi slipped into the outfit. She felt a spark of independence, a chance to shape her own expression of femininity. Still, Riya remained present, guiding Aashi whenever she seemed uncertain.
Aashi embraced her reflection with newfound confidence. For once, she didn’t need Riya to complete the transformation; she only needed her to bear witness to it. And that night, when Riya clasped her hands over Aashi’s, she whispered, “You’re finally seeing yourself.”
A Final Act of Devotion
Back in the college halls, their classmates began to see Aashi and Riya as inseparable. They knew them as a couple forged by something unique and profound. The girls occasionally shared knowing glances, a mix of admiration and curiosity, as they caught Aashi in hints of femininity—a pair of subtly adorned bangles, a trace of kajal in her eyes, or the confidence in her walk.
One evening, Riya and Aashi stood on the rooftop of their college building, the city lights stretching into the horizon. Aashi glanced at her reflection in a nearby window, seeing a figure she barely recognized from who she’d once been.
Riya slipped her hand into Aashi’s. “Are you happy?” she asked softly, knowing the answer but needing to hear it.
Aashi smiled, a tear slipping down her cheek. “Yes,” she whispered. “Because you’ve been with me every step of the way.”
