Pranitha was a school teacher. She always had long beautiful hair and was very proud that. She always maintained her hair very well by taking oil bath etc during weekends, even her friends and other teachers in school used to compliment her on her on hair.
She also had an angloindian friend who was english teacher in same school called Jeniffer who always had short Boy cut. Many times even Jeniffer would give compliments to Pranitha about her and some times for fun ask Preethi to cut her hair but Pranitha always said she liked her hair long and they would joke about it.
However Pranitha was very lower middle class background and only daughter to her parents so she had to work to support her family, Now her mother was not getting good match for her marriage, they very traditional family so horoscope matching was also required. So many times if horoscope matched then family would demand dowry. So Pranitha's Family was not able to give it within one day one proposal from very rich family called Bagre family for Pranitha came and luckily even the horoscope matched.
So they fixed one sunday to come to Pranitha's house to see her. That day Pranitha got up early took bath and sat down and her mother put her long hair into plaits and told her that this very big rich family, so you will be lucky to accepted them.
Then door bell rang and Pranitha was inside only and that family came and started speaking with Pranitha's Parents. Then Pranitha's mother called her to bring coffee and snacks for guests, Pranitha was very shy and she came and gave guests snacks and tea and sat down. Slowly she observed that there were total of five members including groom, The groom was handsome and he had come along with his parents and brother and sister in law.
However she noticed something strange in the ladies both mother in law and sister in law were in Boy cut. But she was shy and did not ask questions. Finally father in law asked Pranitha if she would be intersted in joining their factory and manage the accounts department. Pranitha said whatever your wish i am ready. Then mother in law said " ok from our side but one condition since we are factory owners we always need to look different from workers and also once when i cut my hair short our business improved so its lucky for us even our elder daughter in law also had haircut after marriage. So you should also have hair cut when you get married." Hearing this Pranitha was shocked but did not say anyting and guests left their house.
Pranitha mother was very happy but Pranitha was not since she didn't like the condition of hair cut both had arguements, mother telling that this is good proposal but Pranitha not agreeing so Pranitha mother asked for some time.
After some days Pranitha was walking to school when suddenly one big car stopped and one lady called her by name. At first she didn't recongnize her but later came to know that she Bagre family Daughter in law Sailaja who had come to her house the other day.
Sailaja called her inside car first Pranitha refused but later sat inside. She noticed she had a driver as well. Sailaja asked Pranitha where she going and she replied that going to school soon she started conversation Sailaja told she is very happy with life all comforts she has now she going to shopping in car along with driver.
Then suddenly Sailaja asked Pranitha her near the Mall our regular beauty parlour is there i am going there to trim my hair you also can join me. I will introduce you to her Pranitha got bit angry and said she was not intersted. Sailaja said ok no problem dear and told her that before marriage even she had long hair and was shy about hair cut but after marriage now she is happy with all the comforts in her life.
Then Pranitha started thinking about her own life but suddenly her school came and asked Sailaja to stop, Sailaja asked driver to stop and she got down and said bye. When she was about to enter her school her teacher friend Jeniffer was also there and asked how lucky you are you came in car today and smiled at her.
That night Pranitha kept thinking about what to do and finally in the morning told her mother that she agreed to Bagre Family proposal, Pranitha's mother was very happy and told her she will look beautiful even in Boy cut hair.
Then mother in law told that she must have hair cut before marriage, Pranitha was bit sad with this since she wanted to be long hair for her marriage but agreed. Then Sailaja came over and took Pranitha beauty Parlour. There she spoke something to beautician and introduced her, beautician smiled at her. Then she made Pranitha sit on chair and covered the mirror and told that she look at herself after her haircut.
Pranitha was very nervous then beautician made her hair into plait and took scissors suddenly Pranitha felt snip snip at her back and after two minutes her long plait was in her hands now she was in bob cut...
Pranitha asked its it over beautician and Sailaja both smiled and said now you arein bob cut style but still need to get boy cut style. So now i will wash your hair and then took her to wash basin and washed and shampooed her hair nicely and the after some time beautician asked Pranitha to take her fingers through her hair then she was shown her face in mirror she got not believe her own face.
She had completely changed. she was in boy cut style now. Sailaja told her don't worry dear you will get adjusted to it. Then they left the beauty parlour and now told that for regular trimming both will come together. Then they first went to in laws house where mother in law gave approval and even future husband smiled at her then mother in law gave jewels as gift to her. Pranitha was surprised and happy.
Later on she resigned from teacher job and got married and joined family business office and now she always is in boy cut style and slowly becoming modern she alsi=o seeing that its easy to maintain short hair so she is happy.
