Chapter 5: Return and End.

Skye: What did Mom say?
Sister: She called us both back home.
Skye: What! why now?
Sister: 50th Wedding anniversary of our grandparents.
Skye: Do we have to go?
Sister: I think so. Mom was scolding us because we haven't been home for more than 2 years now, I can't argue with mom.
Skye: That's true.

After our discussion, I told Amber we have to cancel our plan for a picnic which she understood.
Both me and my sister were kinda happy that we were going home after a long time. We haven't met our family and friends in a long time.
But I quickly got nervous when I looked at myself in the mirror and realized how different I looked now. My head was filled with negative thoughts. But the thing I was afraid of most was Mom! I can handle Dad but Mom.......is debate Queen! She was the one who restricted me from growing my hair long.
I went to my sister and told her my thoughts then she said...

Sister: Why are you panicking too much nothing will happen & I have told Mom that you have been growing long hair.
Me: What did she say then?
Sister: Well she was against it but I managed to convince her.
Me: What if she says to cut it.
Sister: Hey I said no that nothing will happen. Anyway, I have booked our train tickets for tomorrow evening lets start packing now.
Me: Ok but still...
Sister: Enough! I will support you if anything happens ok?
Me: ....ok fine.

Still, I bought a beanie cap to hide my hair. (Still afraid and nervous)
The next day we packed our things said our goodbyes to our friends and went to the station. Amber escorted us to the station. Before boarding the train I kissed Amber goodbye.

It was morning and 1 hour until we reach our village. We freshen ourselves up. I tied my hip-length hair in a bun then I took out the beanie cap from my bag. My sister saw the cap and said
Sister: Are you going to wear it now.
Me: Yeah I am still a bit nervous.
Sister: Whatever you like.

We reached the station and found our old friends Josh & Sana waiting for us. We greeted each other as we have met after a long time then sat in the car.
On the road when we all were chatting Sana suddenly said...
Sana: So Skye, what's the deal with that beanie? that to in summer.
Josh: Yeah I haven't seen you wearing any type of caps till now.
Me: Well about that...

I didn't want to lie to my childhood friends so I removed my cap and showed them my hair...
Sana: OMG!!
Josh: Damn bro.
Sana: It looks so big, Just how long is your hair..?

I undid my bun and let my hair down.

Sana: That's so long I am Jealous.
Me: Yeah it's till my hips now.
Sana: I can see that & it looks beautiful on you.
Me: Thank you, Sana.
Josh: Yeah you look so different now with that hair, but it suits you.
Me: Thanks, dude.
Sana: How did you even manage that hair? being a boy it must have been more difficult.
Me: Yeah way too much.
I looked at my sister and we both laughed and told my stories.
As we were reaching home I quickly tied my hair in a bun and put the beanie on.

When we reached we said bye and thanks to our friends and went home. We knocked on the door. (I was very nervous now.)
Our mom opened the door and as soon as she saw us she hugged us.
Mom: It's been so long I've missed both of you very much.
Both: We to mom.

She said to freshen up first then we will talk.
After freshening up mom gave us some food and snacks & she told us dad was out for work. Then she asked us about our city life.

Mom: Skye why are you wearing a cap at home that too in summer, is it to hide your long hair that I already know about.
Me: you knew?
Mom: Yes why wouldn't I. I am your mother Skye and your sister already told me about it. Now take it off.
Me: yes Mom.

As I was proceeding to take my beanie off I saw my sister holding her laugh which I don't know why. I got up and took off my beanie and then my hair came off my bun and cascaded down to my hips.

My eyes widened in disbelief as she put her hand on her mouth and then came to me to check my hair.

Mom: OMG I didn't know you have your hair till your hips It's longer than both of us and it is also trimmed in the ends like girls.
Me: I thought you knew.
Mom: I knew that you have been growing long hair but I thought it must be till your shoulder or at most till mid-back but who would have thought.

She was touching and checking my hair and said

Mom: They are so healthy that they look like girl's hair.
Me: Do I have to cut them now? (I asked nervously.)
Mom: No Skye They are beautiful you don't need to cut them.
Me: But I thought you hated long hair on me?
Mom: I would have if they didn't look good on you but they look amazing on you and I know how hard is to grow hair like this.
Me: Thank you, Mom. ( I said happily.)
Mom: But you will never wear caps it damages the hair ok.
Me: Ok.

We all talked about our life. I told her about my hardships and Amber which she said would love to meet her. She told me to invite her to our event which is in 2 days. Dad came in the evening he was shocked too but didn't care much. The next day I met all my friends and family in the village. Many were shocked and My grandma almost thought that I was a girl.
In the evening my mom told me to sit in front of her and told me that from now on I will brush and oil my hair.
She took the band out of my ponytail and started brushing my hair It was so soothing experience I told my mother that I love the feeling of you brushing and styling my hair.
She said that I had really beautiful straight hair that most girls will die to have. Then she asked me if I was planning to grow them longer to which I said "I hadn't thought about it."
She then put my hair in a perfect single braid and put it on my shoulder.

From the next day, guests (family & friends) started coming for the anniversary celebration. Even Amber arrived in the evening.
Many guests thought I was a girl which was very embarrassing because I have to correct them every time. Some even thought I was Sharla wearing boys' clothes. Then I saw a girl I haven't seen in a long time. Her name is Susan she is a year older than me, She used to bully me when I was little. (She has shoulder-length brown hair) My mother forced me to greet her which I did...
Me: Hey Susan how are you?
Susan: I am fine but who are you?
Me: Don't you recognize me?

She scanned my face for a minute and said out loud

Susan: SKYLER is that you.
Me: Yes it is me.
Susan: You have changed so much and what's with that hair I thought you were some girl.
Me: Yeah that's pretty much what many people thought.
Susan: Well with that hair no one will think of you as a boy.
Me: I am used to that. ( I said shyly)
Susan: Still isn't your hair way longer than normal they are almost past your hip.
Me: Yeah I know but I think I like them longer.

Then we talked about our life and stuff and I moved on to work on other things related to tomorrow's event.

And Finally, the event day arrived everyone was busy from the morning everyone was managing something. The event was in the evening I got ready in a white and black blazer my hair was done in a long french braid and my sister forced me some light make-up.
(like this: https://in.pinterest.com/pin/402298179218266556/ )
Amber Wore a stunning red dress and hair in a Bun and my sister wore a blue dress with her hair down.

The anniversary party went great I met many people, Danced, eat dinner with everyone. But Something unexpected happened at the end out of nowhere Susan proposed to me to which I respectfully declined and said that I am already in a relationship with someone. She was looking sad and said I Understand and left.
I was surprised but ignored it and enjoyed the rest of the party.

The next day most of my guests left but Amber was still staying. It was afternoon mom was out with her friends and my sister & Amber went to roam the Market and Village I was alone at home watching TV then suddenly my doorbell rang.

It was Susan. I invited her inside the house. I asked what is she over here for. She said she was here to apologize for the other day.
She gave me a bottle of coke as an apology which we both drank and talked about yesterday. As I was chatting I started to get sleepy and as soon I realized something I was out.

When I woke up I realized I was tied to the chair in front of a mirror in my room. I saw myself, my mouth was tapped, hair was done in a double braid and I was wearing a skirt and a top. I started to panic when I heard her...

Susan: Ohh baby you woke up already.

It was SUSAN and she was wearing a different outfit than I saw before. All black leather outfit. I tried to speak up but I couldn't.
Then she came near me and started touched my braids and said...

Susan: Ohh Skye I love your hair and you look so beautiful like this.
Me: MHMMHHHH. (in my mind: what the hell are you doing.)
All of a sudden she started kissing me. She then removed the tape...
Me: Why are you doing this is it because I rejected you.
Susan: The pics I have and with you dressed like this if I post this online you will probably be humiliated and why I am doing this is because I loved you and you turned out to be a tranny and every time I see that girl around you I get angry.
Me: Please don't do this...

She then again tapped my mouth then she caught hold of my hair and looked straight into my eyes, then started pulling my braids and tickling me in my navel. I let out a moan.

Susan: You are already letting out a moan damn you are a big pervert.

Then she started torturing and humiliating me. She did this for 20 to 25 minutes then she stopped. She then goes outside the room. I tried to free myself but was of no use then she came with a scissor.
She came behind me removed my tape from over my mouth.

Me: What are you trying to do now? (panicking)
Susan: Though you disappointed me the only thing I liked about you is your hair. It's so long, straight & silky. Even girls don't have hair like this. If I don't deserve this then no one deserves this.

She then took one of my braids in her hand. I realized what she was doing and started crying and pleading.

Me: Please! Please! Please! Susan doesn't do this. Anything but this. (cryingly)
Susan: Ohh no that is what I am gonna do. I look forward to seeing Amber face when she sees you.

When she grabbed my hair in one hand and scissors in another I closed my eyes. Just as she was trying to cut I heard something.
I opened my eyes and saw Amber and my Sister grabbing Susan.

Amber: what the hell were you trying to do to my boyfriend you bitch. ( She Slapped her so hard she fell. )
Susan: How do you get in I was sure I locked the doors.
Sister: I always keep a spare key with me.

My sister grabbed her and tied her
Then Amber freed me and asked me if I was Ok and gave me a glass of water after that I told her everything that has happened and changed my clothes. Then my sister also slapped her and yelled at her in anger and called my mom and told her everything.
I asked Amber how they came so early she said...

Amber: We wanted you with us when we thinking of going to a restaurant nearby. We tried to call you but you didn't pick up so as we were near we got home and noticed the door was locked that's when we thought something was wrong.
Skye: Thanks for saving me Amber I was so scared she was trying to cut my hair. ( I was shaking and crying )

Then Amber hugged me and said don't worry now everything is fine. Then out of nowhere, she asked me if she would marry me. I was so surprised and happy that I quickly said yes and KISSED her.

8 YEARS LATER.

Me: Suzy! Arlo! Watch it.
Amber: Let them be they are just playing.
Me: They could get into trouble if they behave like this.
Amber: That trouble got me you.
Me: I was different but they...
Sharla: Cut them some slack will you...
Me: But Sis...
Sis: Let them be I will look after them.
Me: Ok. ( I said while pushing my braid back. )

I am now married to Amber and have 2 kids Suzy and Arlo now we Own our cafe which is managed by both of us.
And about my hair which I have is longer now ( because Amber forced me.) they are almost till my knees.
(like this: https://in.pinterest.com/pin/1065101380592606258/ )
Amber says me to grow them more longer to which I always say that I'll think about it. Both my kids also have long hair which both me & Amber have decided to let them decide if they want it or not. I sometimes wear the girl's clothes because most of the time Amber forces me to. My long hair is now quite famous in the cafe which I try to style in different hairstyles. But still, I mostly keep them in braids because I love that hairstyle.

Thank you everyone for reading my first story.
