Samira receives severe punishment for venial offence (Episode 3)
Natasha and her friends continue taking pictures and with every picture they would exclaim”how cute” “how cute”. Samira got irritated with them and said please now its over just remove this rubber band. I hate this style. So aunty once again goes behind Samira and asks natasha and her friends,”Samira darling doesn’t like this hairdo too. she wants to go? what do you think girls?” Natasha and her friends chirp in rhythm “Go shorter” “Go shorter” “Go shorter”. and Samira screams “please aunty no please no more, please thats it, no more.” But by now auntie too was enjoying her self and shouts”LETS GO SHORTER”.
Samira just gives in. She cant do much. just bites her lips wondering what can be worse than this. But auntie has something in her mind worse than this. she quickly takes her scissors and cuts that fountain ponytail at the base and one more trophy of glory falls on Samira’s lap. Then she opens her silver suitcase and takes out her clippers. Samira is shocked with her mouth wide open.
Samira: “This is meant for guys there is no ways auntie you bringing this close to my head. Let me go” she howls.
Auntie: “Don’t worry sweety it doesn’t pain. You will just get a tickling sensation.” She fits number two blade into the clipper, plugs it in and switches it on. BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ The sound nearly kills Samira and she starts shaking her head frantically and screams “No ways, no ways, pleaseee not this, pleasee i beg u. I will do whatever u say auntie, i will be yours and natasha’s maid servant, i will obey whatever u tell me, but pleasee not this. pleaseee.” She howlsss.
Auntie gets wild and asks natasha to give her a used panty and once Natasha obliges, she stuffs it into Samira’s mouth and gags her. Then pushes her head firmly with the chin touching the Cape in front and starts running the clippers at the back of her head vertically reducing the hair at back at two inches. Once shes done with that she takes the pair of scissors and comb and comes and stands in front of Samira. She combs all the hair in the front towards the forehead and then just above her eyebrows she runs her scissors chopping off all the hair below the eyebrows. So now the hair in the front lies covering the forehead in one line. Thats called a Sadhna haircut. (Sadhna was an actress in India who had similar haircut in the front in one of the movies and it became a very famous haircut for 4 to 5 year old children)
Auntie: “Ohh she looks chooo chweet in that haircut. Maybe we should call u Sadhna baby instead of Samira now.” Natasha and her friends start giggling and start calling Samira Sadhna baby and clicking more pictures of her. Samira feels completely defeated and just gives a cold expression. She avoids looking at the mirror in front, but Natasha keeps putting her small makeup mirror in front of her telling her that she just looks like a five year old baby.
Looking at Samira avoiding natasha, Auntie removes the panty from Samira’s mouth and tells her, “If you say my name is Sadhna baby and i love my haircut, five times I will untie you.The choice is yours”
Samira considering the mood her aunt and Natasha was in feared that they might even shave all her hair off. So the poor girl with great reluctance, stopping and stammering said it five times , ” My name is ….. Saadhna baby…. and… I .. love my … haircut.”
Auntie: “Very Good, thats like a good girl.” All the girls around, pointing fingers at Samira giggled and laughed and ridiculed her.
Auntie: “So girls what do u think? Sadhna baby has completed her task. Should we untie her now?” Natasha and her friends look at each other and start clapping their hands and start shoutingggggg “taklu” “taklu” “taklu” ** “shave it all off.”
Samira: “No Auntie u promised me u will untie me and let me go. You cant go back on your words. These girls have lost their minds today,” looking towards Natasha and her friends.
Auntie: “Of course i will untie u sweety, but i didn’t tell u when. Maybe after I ve shaved of your head all smooth.” She began laughing loudly.
Samira started crying loudly and her eyes became really big when she saw auntie removing the blade and getting a bare clipper towards her head. Natasha and her friends continued with their rhythmic clapping. Auntie switches it on and the sound of the clipper Buzzzzzzzzzz makes Samira faint this time. Auntie this time begins with the front, running the clippers vertically in the centre of Samira’s head starting from the forehead and moving towards the back. Repeats the same procedure on the left and right front too. Then moving to behind the ears on both sides and finally pushing Samira’s head firmly down and completing the back too. Samira was reduced to a stubble barely recognizable. Then aunty brings some shaving cream and first puts some on her fingers and then lavishly spreads over Samira’s head. Samira with her eyes half open could feel the chill of the shaving cream and when auntie brought the straight razor towards her head, she literally started shivering, but didn’t have any energy left to cry or say anything. She just sat there staring into nothing.
Auntie then with short strokes with the razor starts clearing the stubble. Samira feels a burning sensation with the razor running over her scalp. In no time auntie shaves off Samira’s head bald, clean and smooth like a cue ball. She then removes the white Cape from Samira’s neck and cleans her bald head. Natasha and her friends rush towards Samira once her aunt in done, to feel her scalp. Running their hands all over her scalp, and chanting “Samira taklu, Samira taklu, Samira taklu.” Laughing, giggling and clicking more pictures.
Samira just sat there feeling completely humiliated. She didn’t say a word but with tears rolling down her cheeks. For her the entire world had come to an end. Life will not be the same without her most cherished and precious possession, her hair.
Auntie stood in a corner with a wicked smile on her face. She was really glad that she had taught Samira a lesson which she will remember for life. She was also very happy for her daughter Natasha. She had helped her to feel superior now to Samira. Just thinking about Samira who had thick silky smooth princess like hair an hour back, and now she was unrecognizable with all that hair brutally hacked off. Truly it was a journey from Riches To Rags.
