Rani was overwhelmed by Rama’s advice. Rani asked. “How did you learn all these? Did you teach yourself all these? And then what about the arts, I mean, the hair style and make up and saree draping, they are so perfect. Where did you learn them? Your style is perfect than most girls I gave met.”“Well, if I had depended on me alone, I wouldn’t have been so perfect. My perfection is because of a girl, a really lovely girl. She is the one who at first discovered me inside Ram and told him to pay attention to my presence. She helped him in bringing me out.” Rama replied.“Is she Ram’s lover?” asked Rani.“No, she is his guide. She is my guide too. It is she who taught me all this. The hair style and make up and saree draping. I think you should meet her, all three of you should meet her. What about for lunch tomorrow. Let me ask her.” Rama answered and then called that girl from her mobile.After Rama finished speaking with her, Rani asked. “What did she say?”“She agreed to come, she said that she will be coming with her man.” Rama said.“That is great! I will ask the other two.” Said Rani.The next day all four gathered at Rama’s place one hour before the lunch time. They made all arrangements together and waited for the girls arrival.

Rama was wearing a silver colour churidar kameez with the dupatta neatly folded and placed on her left shoulder. Silver is her favorite colour.Rani was wearing the same orange churidar kameez that she tried the previous night.The other two were in male clothes as they haven’t yet brought out the girl in them.Then they heard the door bell ring, Rama went and opened the door. The other three stood behind.A girl stood outside, but there was no man. Rama welcomed her. “Hi dear, come in.” The girl introduced her man. He had been standing by the side out of view. All four of them expected a man in manly clothes, but instead they saw a man in a black silk saree. “Hello, I am Arjun.” He introduced himself.

After Arjun and Janavi left the place the other four continued with the chat. “It felt very peaceful in her presence.” Robert said.“I also had a similar feeling in her presence.” Replied Rani.“Rama, do you know why it is so?” Asked Rahim.“I felt the same way during our first meeting. And asked the reason from her when I met her for the second time.” Replied Rama.“What did she say?” Asked Rani.“She said that it is because of the unconditional love that flows from her.” Rama Said.“How did you meet her?” Asked Robert.“It was during the period when Rama was just peeping once in a while from within Ram.Once I visited a textile store to buy some T-shirts but as I passed the ladies section something pulled me in. As I moved in, I was very exited. I moved my hands over the sarees and shirts.

Then I managed to take a lehenga choli and saree into the male fit-on room. I tried them on me. I was very much happy and exited.Then I came out, I thought no one would have noticed me. But I was wrong, Janavi had been watching me all along. She came to me and gave a card and said. “Here, come to this address, I will help you to bring the girl out of you.”Then she left, she didn’t mention anything about her, or heard my reply. But something made me trust her.I decided to visit her, I went there expecting a house, but it was a school, a ladies school, very small but still a school. The from door was open. I looked in, she was seated next to a circular table, with five other girls and two vacant chairs.

She was wearing a short sleeve, floor length orange silk dress. She saw me and called me in and asked me to take one of the vacant chairs. Then after around five minutes, she sent the other girls and called me to the chair next to her on her left side.We spoke for sometime and I learned that she taught all kind of ladies stuff there, dressing, cooking, stitching, hair style, marriage rituals and even gave solutions to problems in family.Then she asked. “Now are you Ram the man or Rama the woman?”“I don’t know. How can I find out?” I asked.“That is simple.” She said pointing to herself. “If you are attracted to the girl, then you are Ram. If you are attracted to the dress, then you are Rama.”“I am sometimes attracted to the girl and otherwise to the dress.” I replied.“I have seen many men and women but rarely meet a human.” She replied.”
