Chapter 11: Aria's Demand

Sameer, his sense of guilt intensifying, tentatively knocked on Aria's door again. After a moment, the door opened, revealing Aria's still furious expression.

Sameer, sincerely: "Arjun, we truly didn't mean for any of this to happen. We're sorry."

Aria, with a spark of revenge in his eyes: "Sorry isn't enough. If you're really sorry, you'll do something for me."

Sameer, confused: "What do you want us to do?"

Aria, a wicked smile forming: "Come inside."

[Inside Aria's room]

Sameer and Riya entered cautiously, the air heavy with tension. Aria, with a calculating gaze, outlined his terms.

Aria, smirking: "If you're truly sorry, Sameer, you'll have to experience what I'm going through. Cross-dress like me for a day."

Sameer, hesitating: "What? Are you serious?"

Aria, unforgiving: "Dead serious. And Riya, you'll be my slave for the day. If you want forgiveness, you'll earn it."

Riya, shocked: "Slave? Arjun, this is going too far."

Aria, with a glint of retribution: "It's the least you can do. If you want my forgiveness, you'll have to walk in my shoes, or rather, my heels."

Sameer and Riya exchanged uneasy glances, realizing that Aria's demand was a form of revenge. The room became a battleground of emotions, each participant grappling with the consequences of their actions, and the lines between friendship and retribution blurred in the wake of Aria's fierce determination.

Sameer and Riya, their guilt weighing heavily on them, reluctantly agreed to Aria's unusual terms. Aria, fueled by a mix of fury and the desire for retribution, led them into his closet.

Aria, a wicked gleam in her eyes: "Sameer, let's see how well you can walk in my heels. My mom bought me a saree yesterday. Pick it from my closet."

Sameer, hesitatingly: "A saree? Seriously?"

Aria, unyielding: "You wanted forgiveness, right? This is your chance to earn it."

Riya: "I can't believe we're doing this."

After a moment of hesitation, Sameer reluctantly picks the saree. Aria, reveling in the role reversal, instructed him on how to wear it with the help of Riya.

Aria, with a smirk: "Now, Riya, you're my slave for the day. Wear this dog collar like I have to do when my mom wants some play time. It symbolizes your servitude."

Riya, reluctantly fastening the collar: "This is going too far, Arjun."

Aria, locking the collar with key: "Consider it payback for the lessons I learned from you two and its Aria now because of you two. Now, give me the other end of the rope. I hope I can convince my parents tonight to let go this punishment "

Sameer wondering: 'But I don't see any of your old clothes here.'

Aria: 'Because they took them from here and God knows where they are.'

Riya, complying with a heavy heart, handed Aria the end of the rope attached to the collar.

Aria, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes: "Let the day of revenge begin."

As Sameer and Riya found themselves entangled in Aria's web of retribution, the room became a stage for a bizarre form of justice where the lines between friend and master blurred, and the consequences of their actions unfolded in unexpected ways.

As Sameer emerged, clad in the saree he never thought he'd wear, Aria's expression transformed from fury to a victorious satisfaction.

Aria, smirking: "Consider this payback, Sameer. Now, get out of my house."

Sameer, shocked and embarrassed: "What? You can't be serious."

Aria, unyielding: "I am. You wanted forgiveness, right? This is your chance. Go home like this."

With a forceful push, Aria directed Sameer out of her house, not allowing him a moment to retrieve his original clothes. Sameer, now stuck in a saree, found himself on the doorstep, a mix of embarrassment and frustration etched across his face.

Meanwhile, Riya, wearing the collar and tethered like a pet dog, played along with Aria's revenge.

Aria, reveling in the moment: "Looks like you're enjoying your role, Riya. Fetch!"

Riya, playing along: "This is insane, Arjun."

Aria, smirking: "Call me Aria. And remember, you're my pet for the day. Now, let's make the most of it."

As Riya embraced her unexpected role, Aria's demeanor shifted from fury to a twisted sense of satisfaction. The day of revenge had begun, leaving Sameer grappling with an unconventional journey home, and Riya navigating the complexities of her newfound status as Aria's pet. The lines between friendship and retribution blurred, creating a tapestry of consequences woven from the threads of an unexpected transformation.

The next day, Arjun, burdened by the consequences of his actions, approached his parents with a plea to end the unusual punishment.

Arjun, earnestly: "Please, Mom, Dad, can we end this? I've learned my lesson, and I can't take this anymore."

Ravi, with a calm resolve, looked at Arjun: "Arjun, change isn't always temporary."

Seema, with a reassuring smile: "We've decided, Arjun. This is who you are now – our daughter, Aria. And we're sure to keep it that way. We are done with your attitude. Now you will soon learn the value of parents in your life. The dangers and society, parents protect their children from."

Ravi, continuing: "Soon, you won't need the wig. Embrace this change, Arjun. It's a journey of self-discovery and transformation."

As Arjun absorbed the weight of his parents' decision, the room became a space for realization. The path that had initially seemed like a form of punishment has turned permanent change. Although Aria is not sure about which his mother meant by those words protect, society, danger, soon...
