Two weeks past after
that incident, I was looking for another opportunity, which come to me very
quickly, it was Monday afternoon when I came back home SIS was drying her hair
after taking bath and as always happen to long hair ladies after bath their
hair got tangles, SIS also forcing her comb into her hair to clear the tangles,
she seems to be frustrating, murmuring that what the hell is this, as I again
enter her room quietly and sat besides her, she feels that someone is in the
room she turns and saw me, she smiles OH its you I forget that you are coming
home from University, since last one hour I was trying to straighten my hair
but I don’t know what happen today, it did not sorting out easily, what she did
not know is that I have tampered with her shampoo today, which is the main
reason for this mess. She inform me that today lunch is not prepared because of
this hair affair, so go out and bring some lunch for both of us.
I went out and bring pizzas for lunch, as I knew that she is fond of
pizza. When I came back she was still fighting with her hair, I said a little
angrily that SIS what the hell is going on and for how long she will continue
with her hair, She got shied and put the comb aside and rap her hair in a huge
bun, another mistake as it will more dried her hair, we ate together and during
this I again start the topic of her hair, SIS; I said, as your hair grew longer
your problems will also grow, did you consider what I said sometimes back, she
did not reply and quietly leave the room. In the night I again went pass my
brother room to listen what they are discussing, I heard my brother voice and
for the first time in so many days I feel an angry tone in my brother’s voice,
he was telling SIS that she is spending so much time on her hair and that she
must consider some way out to balance the situation, things are going my way
slowly but gradually.
After two days I again saw her putting oil in her hair to clear the tangles
which are not straightening easily, I went to her and tell her SIS I think you
need some repair work to clear out of this, she angrily asked what is the
solution I politically replied that instead of deciding ourselves let go to an
expert and see what she suggest. We went to a reputable salon at least what I
said to her, although its reputation is in drastic haircutting or rather
extreme haircutting, I have a friend working there and I told her about the
whole scene, that shampoo was also tempered by her.
So we went there after examining her hair she called her supervisor to
have an expert view, she was also briefed about the whole scene, so after some
time she said dear Madam you have extra ordinary hair but due to some chemical
issue your hair is damaged although not fully but unfortunately we have to
reduce some length to save your lovely hair, now realizing the situation she
said in very low voice is there some other remedy instead of reducing her hair
length,
I am sorry madam but we have to do it otherwise it will damage more like
a disease (actually it is a pure big lie, as no such big damage was done and it
can easily be rectify by reducing the length by only 2 inches but it did not
serve my purpose), SIS said sadly how much do you have to cut to rectify this
damage, after posing for few minutes supervisor replied I think 12 inches at
least, we can go for more if you agree now or later. 12 inches!!! She yelled No
No it is too much, do something else, Sorry madam we cant do anything, you can
take other opinion if you want we have no issue, we are not hair hungry people
we are here to give better solution to our customers.
Now SIS was thinking, I have to act quickly otherwise whole scene would
go wasted, I said no no madam we have trust on you what you are saying is only
for our benefit, come on SIS they are not cutting that much and its only 12
inch hair which will grow back very quickly. Come on madam do it quickly
otherwise it may spread more to damage more. They quickly sat her on the chair
caped her and pulled her hair behind the chair which due to its length reach
the floor and lying there, now the supervisor look towards me as what I want
right I said removed 15 inches without making any noise.
She nodded and the lovely sound of scissors drumming on my ears, she
quickly removed 15 inches of hair and asked do I want is I said YES, packed it
for me. Now SIS hair hung just above chair base, when she standup her hair
reaches below her hip, it is still very long but the journey begins………… She was
weeping, I console her that it’s only hair SIS don’t worry, when she was about
to leave the chair, the supervisor said from behind, Madam wait a minute as
this seems to be your first major haircut in years or may be in life, I give
your hair some small touches so it will look a little different, and she again
sat her in the chair, she was about start protesting but supervisor take some
hair and start cutting from front at jaw level, then at lip level and then at
eye level,
now SIS face is changing getting a glamour look. She removed the cape
and said look at yourself madam in mirror, you look different and you can feel
it yourself. SIS leave the chair and when we are leaving the salon, supervisor
said do come again madam, we will be at your service anytime even at your
doorstep. Thanks for the gesture I said, we will come back again for another
cut, hearing this SIS look at me angrily, I quickly said I mean we will never
come back again and winked……… Now SIS wow that this the first and last time she
is visiting a salon, I again said Never say Never SIS as you never know what
will happen in future, she said We will see….
When we reach home in the evening, I said SIS you look very attractive
and BRO will be flattered, SIS quickly ran into her room, when my brother came
back at night SIS came out with light make up, dressed beautifully with her
hair open, BRO was dumb found, I quickly came out of the house, giving them
some moments of love. At night again I went pass their room to know what they
are talking, BRO was praising her new redesign hair and also appreciate that
SIS reduces some length, SIS replied that all has been done due to compulsion
as she has no other choice and tell him that she will again re-growing her hair
to get back its original length.
Now this is a real challenge for me to stop her from going back to its
original length. After one week I went to her and said hello SIS what’s going
on, how is your hair, she says nothing and that her hair is fine and she thinks
that her hair grow a half inch in one week, so 12 inch will grow back in six
month’s time. Again an idea struck me I said that okay let’s have a bet if your
hair grow 6 inch in next four months I will support your hair growth and never
forced you to cut your hair again and what if it does not happen she asked,
then you have to remove another 12 inches plus whatever grow in next four
months from current length. Our bet will continue whenever you win it will stop
and we will never indulge in haircutting anymore.
As she is stubborn she accepts my challenge, which I have to win at any
cost. When SIS attends family function after her haircut everybody was very
annoyed and SIS all the time explaining that she has to do it because of some
chemical issue and that she is now re-growing her hair. Time went by and four
months was about to complete, I saw her one day measuring her hair and have
some tension on her face. I assume that I am winning the bet and she will going
to lose another 12 inches which will bring her hair above her waist for the
first time in so many years. I am closing on my target. When four months
complete I remind her that time has come and kindly measure the hair so we can
know who the winner is. She quietly takeout the measurement tape and handed
over to me, I measure the hair and to my pleasure it only grew 5.5 inches so
now she is going to loose 17.5 inches but in reality she will loose 20 inches,
as I have again change my plan.
Now SIS is looking at me for some pardon or relief, I said please don’t
look at me like that, a bet is a bet, it was your own hair which ditch you if
you would have won I will definitely support you and never ask for a haircut or
even talk about it. After hearing all this SIS again bring one issue that what
will your BRO said, I said it means now you are not bothered about family
members and other people, that’s a good sign, I said last time BRO was
flattered, this time too he will be speechless, if you allow we can go even
further and have a complete makeover of you, SIS flatly refused the suggestion
and said I will see what to tell to your BRO, I said OK this time instead of
going to the salon why not call them at home, so we can be more
comfortable.
She resigns to her fate and said OK. I called the salon and ask the
supervisor the come home as SIS want some repair work again. Supervisor came in
the afternoon and said I told you we are at your service anytime, now what we
are doing, I said SIS want to reduce some length and she decided to go above
her shoulder, SIS angrily saw me, sorry above her waist I said. Supervisor
caped her in the kitchen and took out measurement tape I pointed at 20 inches,
her eyes widened that’s too much, I said its OK she agrees to 17.5 and I agree
on 20 not a big deal. Again the beautiful sound of scissors come to my ears and
20 inches of lovely hair fell to the floor, she picked it for me, and then as
on previous occasion she redesign her hair.
Now SIS quietly came out of chair, went to her room and closed it. When
BRO came in the evening he again speechless but this he politely said that I
thought your last hair cut was the only one In coming days. SIS says that my
hair is thinning from the base so I have to do it again, I hope next time I
won’t need a haircut. Next day I remind her that our bet has been restart and
this time stakes are high, SIS said what you mean by high stakes, I said this
time target is 6 inches in three months and if you do not succeed you have to
remove 18 inches plus whatever grows in three months.
SIS said that terms are harsh and she is not accepting it, I said in
that case you have to pay the penalty immediately and that will also be in
shape of hair, SIS said and what was it I said you have to cut your hair
according to my wish and you have to sport that style for at least six months.
I said in first condition you have a fair margin of success but in penalty you
have no say at all, think over it SIS and tell me tomorrow. Next day I went to
her and said SIS what is your final answer, SIS said I go for the first one. I
said that’s the better choice, wish you all the best. Now SIS is trying very
hard to grow her hair 6 inches in three months,
I am also giving her a fair chance, but to my pleasure, again I got what
I want as I waited so long for this day, we again met after three months to
measure her hair and again it was short by half an inch. She suddenly broke as
she knew that this time it will be cut to her shoulder and now It will be
impossible for her to go back from here to its once glory. I call again to the
salon and ask the supervisor to come and make repair work, she came and asked
what about this time?
I said 25 inches which will bring her hair to above her shoulders.
She quickly removes the bulk and SIS is all but a long bob lady. Supervisor was
about to leave but this time SIS still sitting in the chair and suddenly asked
her can you do me a favor as now I am already loose my hair can you reshape the
hair a little shorter, how much shorter supervisor asked I don’t know but now I
want a new me, sometime back my cousin sporting a long bob with buzzed nape I
think I should go for that style, at this moment I interrupted her and quickly
said I think SIS want to go all the way so please take out the clipper with
half inch cap and move across her head, before SIS could say anything
Supervisor did the same thing which I told her, and now once my very long hair
Rapunzel SIS is now almost a bald head SIS. She moved her hand over her head
and feels it for the first time,
she smiles and said although I did not want this I LOVE IT and this will
be my new identity, after this SIS said to me that I think I give you real
happiness what you want several years ago. When BRO came in the night he did
not recognize her and his first reaction was anger and he did not talk to her
for sometime, but later he begin to like it, as for family members it was so
shocking that initially they boycott our family but slowly they also like it
and some of my cousins also follow the same cut. As for me SIS complete my
dream of bringing her long hair to the edge of clippers.
SIS sport that look for many months and then she made it the ultimate
that is the razor edge shave. After that SIS again tried several times to grow
her hair but as she taste the baldness it is very difficult for her to grow it
out and every time SIS went from pixie to buzz or shave. Now after 2 years SIS
is again trying to grow her hair for the past 6 months without cutting, at
present her hair reaches her shoulders, SIS is determined that this time she
will make it,
she vow that her visit to salon 6 months back was her last and she will
never visit it again for a haircut, but as I said Never say Never SIS as you
never know what will happen in future.
THE END or the NEW BEGINNING
