Sidharth and Gurmeet sat in their small apartment, surrounded by brochures and application forms for their dream destination - Canada. Sidharth had just received the news that his visa application had been approved, but Gurmeet's application had been rejected. Gurmeet's face fell with disappointment, his dreams of starting a new life in Canada shattered.
Sidharth, seeing his friend's dejected state, knew he had to do something to lift his spirits. He thought for a moment and then an idea struck him. He turned to Gurmeet with a determined look in his eyes.
"Sid, what can we do now?" Gurmeet asked, his voice filled with despair.
Sidharth took a deep breath and replied, "Gurmeet, I have an idea. I know it might sound a little unconventional, but hear me out. You can come with me to Canada as my dependent."
Gurmeet's eyes widened in surprise. "But how is that possible, Sid? We're not even related."
Sidharth smiled reassuringly and explained, "I have been granted a dependent visa, which means I can bring a spouse or partner along with me. We can show that you are financially dependent on me, and in order to make it more convincing, we can present you as my wife."
Gurmeet's confusion turned into curiosity. "But won't it be difficult to pull off such a charade? I mean, we are both men."
Sidharth nodded understandingly. "I know it won't be easy, Gurmeet, but we can make it work. We'll have to change your appearance and present you as a woman. We'll find a unisex name for you, and we can say that you prefer to dress traditionally in Punjab, wearing a turban. It might seem unconventional, but it's our best shot at making your dream of living in Canada come true."
Gurmeet pondered over the idea for a moment. He had always admired Sidharth's determination and his ability to find solutions to difficult situations. He knew that Sidharth genuinely wanted to help him, and the thought of starting a new life in Canada was too enticing to let go.
"Sid, are you sure about this? It's a big risk, and we might face challenges along the way," Gurmeet expressed his concerns.
Sidharth reached out and placed a reassuring hand on Gurmeet's shoulder. "I understand your worries, my friend. But sometimes in life, we have to take risks to achieve our dreams. We'll face the challenges together, and I promise to support you every step of the way. Canada offers us the opportunities we've always longed for, and we deserve a chance at a better life."
Gurmeet looked into Sidharth's determined eyes and felt a surge of hope within him. He trusted Sidharth's judgment and knew that together they could overcome any obstacle.
"Alright, Sid. Let's do it. If this is the only way for me to fulfill my dreams, I am ready to take that chance. I believe in our friendship, and I know we can make it work," Gurmeet said with a newfound determination.
Sidharth smiled, a mixture of relief and excitement washing over him. "That's the spirit, Gurmeet! We'll make this plan work, and soon we'll be living our dream lives in Canada. We'll face any challenges that come our way, and we'll prove that nothing can hold us back."
Gurmeet and Sidharth woke up early on the day of their registered marriage. Excitement filled the air as they prepared for the transformation that was about to take place. They had made all the necessary arrangements, and now it was time for Gurmeet to be turned into a beautiful Punjabi bride.
As they awaited the arrival of the bridal makeup artist, Sidharth's heart raced with anticipation. He had carefully explained the situation to the artist, emphasizing that it was all part of a college play. The artist, understanding the unique circumstances, arrived with her team and two large suitcases filled with cosmetics and accessories.
Gurmeet, dressed in traditional Indian attire, sat nervously in front of a large mirror. The makeup artist and her assistants got to work, their skilled hands meticulously transforming Gurmeet into a stunning bride. The first step was to remove Gurmeet's turban and let his long hair cascade freely. The sight of Gurmeet's lustrous locks amazed even the makeup artist.
They began by applying a light foundation to enhance Gurmeet's natural features. The artist expertly highlighted his cheekbones and contoured his face, giving it a soft and feminine touch. As they worked, Gurmeet's excitement grew, realizing that he was truly embarking on a remarkable journey.
Next, they focused on Gurmeet's eyes, creating a mesmerizing look. The artist skillfully applied eyeshadow that complemented his skin tone and brought out the depth of his eyes. Long, fluttering eyelashes were added, framing his eyes beautifully. As Gurmeet glanced at his reflection, he couldn't believe the transformation he was witnessing.
The makeup artist then moved on to Gurmeet's lips, giving them a soft, rosy hue. A touch of shimmer added a subtle sparkle, enhancing his smile. The transformation was almost complete, but there was one more crucial aspect to address – Gurmeet's bridal hairstyle.
The artist and her team carefully untangled Gurmeet's long hair, brushing it gently to remove any knots. They decided to style it in a traditional Punjabi braid, weaving it with flowers and embellishments. The braid cascaded down Gurmeet's back, completing the bridal look with elegance and grace.
As the artist added the final touches, placing a delicate bindi on Gurmeet's forehead and adorning his ears with intricate earrings, the room filled with a sense of celebration. Gurmeet gazed at his reflection, overwhelmed by the sight of the beautiful bride looking back at him.
As Gurmeet stood there, fully transformed into a stunning Punjabi bride, he couldn't help but feel a whirlwind of emotions. The weight of the ornate jewelry, the gentle jingle of bangles on his wrists, and the delicate sway of the payals around his ankles created a sensory experience like no other.
His fingers delicately brushed through the long, flowing hair that cascaded down his back. The adorned headpiece, complete with vibrant flowers, added a touch of elegance and beauty to his bridal look. Gurmeet couldn't help but be captivated by the reflection staring back at him in the mirror.
His eyes were drawn to the intricate details of the lehenga he wore. The vibrant colors and exquisite embroidery were a testament to the artistry that had gone into its creation. The soft fabric gracefully draped around him, making him feel like a vision of grace and beauty.
The blouse, designed with meticulous care, perfectly complemented the lehenga. Its patterns and embellishments added a touch of glamour and sophistication to Gurmeet's overall appearance. He couldn't help but appreciate how the ensemble enhanced his features and made him feel radiant.
Sidharth had arranged for a luxurious car to transport Gurmeet. With grace and poise, Gurmeet accepted Sidharth's hand and stepped into the car, embodying the elegance of a lady. Sidharth, from the other side, looked at Gurmeet with admiration, complimenting his stunning appearance.
As they made their way to the registrar's office, Sidharth called his sister, Payal, and her friend Simran, who were their chosen witnesses for the wedding. He shared all the details of their plan, leaving Payal astounded and excited. She could hardly believe that Gurmeet was not a woman and enthusiastically started addressing him as "bhabhi" (sister-in-law), teasing him playfully throughout the journey.
Upon their arrival at the registrar's office, Payal and Simran were already waiting. Their presence added an air of joy and festivity to the occasion. Together, they all gathered in front of the registrar, going through the necessary formalities to legalize the marriage. The exchange of varmala (garlands) and the tying of the mangalsutra (sacred necklace) symbolized the unity of Gurmeet and Sidharth's love.
Payal, being a supportive sister, assisted Gurmeet in lifting his thick braid, making it easier for Sidharth to place the mangalsutra around his neck. In that moment, Gurmeet truly felt like a woman, embraced by the warmth and acceptance of his newfound family. The love and laughter shared among them created an atmosphere of celebration and happiness.
With the wedding formalities successfully completed, Sidharth wasted no time and promptly submitted all the necessary visa documents for their journey ahead. Their flight was scheduled for the next day, leaving them with limited time to prepare. Gurmeet, Payal, and Simran headed to the hotel room where they would be staying.
After freshening up, Gurmeet, Payal, and Simran gathered in the hotel room, feeling excited and happy. They couldn't resist taking lots of selfies together, like true friends capturing precious memories.
Payal turned to Gurmeet and asked, "Hey, Gurmeet, did you pack your bag?" Gurmeet nodded, saying he had everything ready. But Payal couldn't resist taking a peek inside the bag, and she burst out laughing when she saw that it was filled with Gurmeet's usual boy's clothes. "Oh, silly you!" she exclaimed. "You need some girl dresses too. Remember, you're going as a bride, so we have to make sure everything looks perfect and nobody suspects a thing!"
With that, they decided to go shopping and help Gurmeet complete his feminine wardrobe. They wanted him to have all the right clothes for their plan to work. Their first stop was to find a pretty trolley bag, something that looked feminine and stylish, just like Gurmeet.
Next, they headed to the lingerie section. Payal and Simran guided Gurmeet through the process of choosing the right bras, panties, and other essentials. They wanted him to feel comfortable and confident in his new attire, so they made sure to pick out things that fit him well and looked beautiful.
The trio then explored the makeup aisle. Payal and Simran showed Gurmeet all the different cosmetics and explained how to use them. They encouraged him to try different shades and helped him discover the transformative power of makeup. Gurmeet was amazed at how a little bit of blush and lipstick could make him feel so glamorous.
They moved on to the nightwear section, looking for cozy yet stylish nightgowns. Payal and Simran wanted Gurmeet to feel relaxed and elegant during intimate moments, so they chose soft fabrics and pretty designs that suited his taste.
Their next stop was the traditional Punjabi dresses section. Gurmeet tried on colorful salwar kameez outfits with intricate embroidery. Payal and Simran helped him find outfits that reflected his cultural roots and made him feel proud of his heritage.
Excited to add a touch of glamour, they explored fusion fashion and picked out some beautiful chaniya cholis. Gurmeet loved the flared skirts and embellished blouses. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he couldn't help but smile, feeling like a princess.
Finally, they ventured into the world of sarees. Payal and Simran carefully draped sarees around Gurmeet, showing him different styles and teaching him how to carry himself with grace. Gurmeet felt a sense of elegance and femininity as he admired his reflection.
The night was filled with laughter, conversations, and heartfelt bonding. Gurmeet, Payal, and Simran stayed up talking about their dreams, sharing stories, and relishing the excitement of the upcoming journey. The hours slipped away quickly, and before they knew it, morning had arrived.
As everyone got ready for the day, Simran helped Gurmeet put on a simple and elegant churidar outfit. Simran still wore her chuda, the traditional bridal bangles, as a symbol of her recent marriage. Gurmeet looked absolutely charming, radiating a newfound confidence and grace.
The group made their way to the airport, with Simran and Gurmeet walking side by side. Simran affectionately hugged Gurmeet and whispered in her ear, "Come soon, bhabhi." Gurmeet blushed at the endearing term, feeling a mix of shyness and excitement. Simran then held Sidharth's hand and encouraged him to hold Gurmeet's hand as well, ensuring that their appearance as a married couple appeared genuine to anyone observing them.
As they entered the airport, hand in hand, Gurmeet couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions. The realization that he was embarking on his dream journey to Canada, but in the form of a woman, created a whirlwind of feelings within him. Amidst the excitement, he turned to Sidharth and asked about what would happen next, and when he could revert to being his true self.
Sidharth leaned closer to Gurmeet and whispered, "Once we settle down in Canada, the immigration office will come to visit us in a couple of days. We'll have to maintain our cover until then. After their visit, we can gradually transition back to our normal lives. Just a little more patience, my friend."
Upon their arrival in Canada, Sidharth had already secured a rented house for both of them. Excitement filled the air as they stepped foot into their new home. Little did Sidharth know that the house's owner, an Indian lady, had arranged a warm welcome ceremony with a few members of the local community.
As Gurmeet and Sidharth entered the house, they were greeted by the smiling faces of the welcoming committee. The Indian ladies had prepared a traditional pooja thali, adorned with auspicious items. They welcomed the couple with open arms, treating Gurmeet as a newlywed bride. It felt as if Gurmeet was entering his new sasural, or in-laws' home, as a married woman.
In a joyous atmosphere, the ladies handed Gurmeet a pot filled with rice and encouraged her to playfully hit it with her foot as a shagun, symbolizing a prosperous beginning. They then guided Gurmeet's hands into a tray of kumkum, asking her to leave her handprints on the walls. These handprints were a symbolic gesture, signifying that this house would be their first home together.
After the welcoming ceremony, the ladies requested Gurmeet to prepare a sweet dish for everyone, as per the rituals. Gurmeet, who had some cooking skills from his time in the hostel, gladly accepted the task. He skillfully prepared gajar halwa, a delicious carrot-based dessert. The aroma of the cooking filled the house, and the ladies praised Gurmeet for his culinary talents.
Once the sweet dish was ready, the ladies indulged in the delicacy, savoring each bite. They expressed their admiration for Gurmeet's cooking skills and showered him with compliments. After the sweet feast, the ladies bid farewell, leaving the couple with their blessings and best wishes, acknowledging the importance of privacy for the newly settled couple.
As the ladies departed, Gurmeet couldn't help but feel a mix of happiness and sadness. The pampering and love he received from the welcoming ceremony warmed his heart, but he also knew that this charade would eventually come to an end. Nonetheless, he cherished the moments, appreciating the kindness and acceptance he experienced in this new land. Gurmeet and Sidharth were now ready to embark on their new life together, overcoming any challenges that may come their way.
After freshening up, Gurmeet changed into a simple salwar kameez. Sidharth suggested that Gurmeet could wear regular boy's clothes at home, but Gurmeet was cautious. He didn't want to raise any suspicions among their neighbors who were already aware of their supposed marriage. Gurmeet believed it was best to continue their act until they found a new place to live.
Sidharth noticed that Gurmeet seemed to be embracing his life as a girl, but he chose not to say anything about it. Gurmeet took a moment to style his hair, sitting gracefully in front of the dressing table. With delicate movements, he brushed his hair and carefully arranged it. He adorned his wrists with simple bangles, placing two on each hand. Gurmeet then inserted small studs into his ears, adding a subtle touch of femininity. Finally, he fashioned his hair into a neat bun, completing his transformation.
As the night drew closer, Gurmeet settled into bed. It was midnight when he felt a hand gently resting on his back, as if offering comfort and warmth. Gurmeet realized it was unintentional, but he found solace in the innocent gesture. With a peaceful mind, he drifted off to sleep, embracing the complexities of his new life as both Gurmeet and the bride named "Gurmeet."
Gurmeet: finishes breakfast preparations and smiles at Sidharth Here's your breakfast, Sidharth. Enjoy!
Sidharth: grinning Thank you, Gurmeet. You truly have a talent for cooking. I'm a lucky man to have you as my wife.
Gurmeet: blushes and playfully nudges Sidharth Oh, stop it! Now, off you go to the immigration office. Let's hope we get some news about their visit soon.
Sidharth: gives Gurmeet a warm hug I'll be back as soon as I have any updates. Take care of yourself, my beautiful bride.
Gurmeet: returns the hug, feeling a surge of happiness I will, Sidharth. Don't worry. Safe travels!
After Sidharth left, Gurmeet took some time for herself. She decided to start her day with yoga and meditation, a routine she had cultivated over the years. As she moved gracefully through the poses, she noticed how natural and effortless it felt to perform them as a girl. The softness of her body and the femininity in her movements brought a sense of peace and serenity.
Following her yoga session, Gurmeet took a refreshing bath in the bathtub, relishing the sensation of the warm water soothing her body. She paid extra attention to her appearance, fixing her breast forms to enhance her feminine silhouette. With her hair cascading down in gentle waves and adorning a beautiful Punjabi kurti, she felt a surge of confidence and self-assuredness.
With the house sparkling clean and lunch prepared, Gurmeet heard a knock on the door. It was the friendly neighbor aunty, who had come to welcome Gurmeet to the community. They sat together, sipping tea, and the conversation flowed effortlessly. Aunty shared stories about the vibrant community activities, highlighting the various gatherings and events exclusively for ladies.
Aunty: Gurmeet, my dear, we have a wonderful dinner planned at our house this evening. It would be lovely if you and your husband could join us. It's a great opportunity to meet other couples in the neighborhood and immerse yourself in our traditions.
Gurmeet: smiling warmly Thank you, Aunty. I would be honored to come with my husband. I'm eager to connect with everyone and experience the warmth of this community firsthand.
At night, when Sidharth arrived, he was pleasantly surprised to find Gurmeet in a beautiful yellow saree, her hair styled elegantly. He couldn't help but admire her stunning appearance. Curiosity piqued, he asked Gurmeet about her attire, and she shared that they had been invited by their neighbor aunty for dinner.
Sidharth, taken aback by Gurmeet's radiant beauty, quickly got ready himself. They descended the stairs together, hand in hand, and Sidharth couldn't resist complimenting his spouse, "You look absolutely stunning, my dear. It's hard to believe that you were my old friend back in India."
Gurmeet blushed at the compliment and playfully replied, "Oh, come on! This is just for a couple of days. After this, I won't be your wife anymore."
Both of them shared a warm smile and headed to the neighbor's house. The evening was filled with joy and laughter as the two couples prepared dinner together and engaged in light-hearted conversations. The atmosphere was delightful, and they even danced together to a romantic tune, creating beautiful memories.
After bidding farewell to their gracious hosts and returning home, Sidharth found it difficult to contain his affection for Gurmeet. Overwhelmed by their love and the intimate connection they shared, he gently leaned in and kissed her. Their emotions ignited, and they embraced the passion between them, expressing their deep love in the most intimate and loving way possible.
After the slightly awkward situation the previous night, Gurmeet and Sidharth decided it would be best to sleep in separate rooms, respecting each other's space and emotions. They understood the importance of maintaining a healthy balance in their relationship.
The next morning, Sidharth received a call from his office, informing him that the immigration officers would be visiting their home that day for a routine check. Both Gurmeet and Sidharth wanted everything to be perfect, so they spent time preparing themselves. They discussed potential questions that the officers might ask, such as where they first met, their first date, their wedding details, and their plans for starting a family. They wanted to ensure they had a consistent story to present during the interview.
An hour before the officers' scheduled arrival, Gurmeet decided to visit a beauty parlor to get her hair done. She wanted to look her best and feel confident during the interview. She chose a beautiful dress that accentuated her natural grace and elegance. When she returned home, Sidharth couldn't help but be in awe of her radiant appearance. He couldn't resist expressing his admiration, "You look absolutely stunning, my love."
Both Gurmeet and Sidharth performed exceptionally well during the interview. They answered the officers' questions confidently, providing consistent and genuine responses. The officers were satisfied with their explanations and were convinced of the authenticity of their relationship. With smiles on their faces, the officers signed the necessary documents, confirming the success of their interview.
Overjoyed and relieved, Gurmeet couldn't contain her happiness. She embraced Sidharth tightly, expressing her gratitude and excitement. They celebrated this milestone together, appreciating the strength of their bond and their ability to overcome challenges as a team.
To commemorate the occasion, Gurmeet and Sidharth decided to celebrate with a special dinner. They chose a cozy restaurant, where they could relax and enjoy each other's company.
During their special dinner, Gurmeet mustered the courage to open up to Sidharth about her true feelings. With sincerity in her eyes, she expressed that she wanted to continue being his wife in Canada rather than reverting to her old identity. She revealed that she found joy and fulfillment in their relationship, and she wanted to support Sidharth in achieving his dreams while being his partner.
Sidharth's face lit up with a mix of happiness and understanding. He gently held Gurmeet's hand and confessed that he had already sensed her desires. He had noticed the genuine happiness that radiated from her every time she dressed up and played the role of his wife. Sidharth expressed his gratitude for having such a beautiful and supportive wife who was also his best friend. He admitted that he felt incredibly lucky to have her by his side.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Gurmeet removed the ring she had been wearing and exchanged it with Sidharth. Holding his hand, she allowed him to slide the ring onto her finger, symbolizing their commitment and love for each other. In that moment, their connection grew stronger, and they sealed their vows with another heartfelt kiss.
With newfound clarity and a deeper bond, Gurmeet and Sidharth decided it was time to share their joy with their families. The following month, they surprised their parents by inviting them to Canada. It was a heartwarming reunion filled with tears of joy and hugs of love. Overwhelmed with emotions, Gurmeet and Sidharth explained their decision to their families, expressing their desire to continue their journey as a loving couple.
Although there was initial hesitation, both families eventually understood the depth of Gurmeet and Sidharth's love and supported their decision. In a beautiful ceremony, surrounded by their families and loved ones, Gurmeet and Sidharth renewed their wedding vows in Canada, embracing their Punjabi culture and traditions.
Their wedding celebration was a vibrant and joyous occasion, filled with music, dance, and love. It was a testament to their commitment, not only to each other but also to their shared dreams and aspirations. With blessings from their families, Gurmeet and Sidharth embarked on a new chapter of their lives, filled with love, understanding, and the support of their loved ones.
