Tonight we had our very special prom .
I combed my hair again and again looking at myself ,my hair and hair style was not at all pleasing me. I asked my mom to help me out ,she just nodded as every time I brought a new hair style ,she said all those words like fine,good,pretty and it's synonymous terms .
Me: "Why are you being so naive ?
It's my prom today , probably the last party night with all my friends , I have to look best there . some so common routine will not work .I need to be best ",
as my mom turned to bit cold that part , I emphasised "Best " with that face .

I am gonna try some you tube tutorials .
She gave me a magnanimous smile and replied: "I am waiting "
I hysterically hurried to my room and started staring those tutorials one after one trying one by one, after trying all of them I realised my hair is just not the type of any of the hair stylist .This thought actually disturbed me for another one hour and then from hair styles
Tutorials, I started browsing how to change the texture, content, how to have a silky soft hair within 10 minutes so on .
After the quest , I realised this is not my thing , I will try something so usual and walk as if it's so much good .
I called up my best friend Tiara , after listening my necessity , she forwarded me some other magazine cut outs which looked suitable the cut outs actually worked for me .Those hair styles were perfect .
Till the moment , I presented it before my personal censor board team (my mom) .
mom: Siona how come you be so old fashioned ?
Me: What old fashioned ? This is the latest hair make up , I found in a magazine
Mom: Magazine ! Like
I knew there is no point of saying the sources , she have expressed her sincerest emotion .
I walked loosely back to my room and went with the usual hair bun .
The prom was getting nearer the even with the major disappointment of my hairstyle ...
I got a phone call from one of friends the news was bit saddening our dearest friend lillia had undergone a brain surgery for which she had to shave her head , she had prettiest hair in our whole school .
With a concern "I asked is lillia gonna join us ?"
My friend answered "Yes! She is really excited to be the part of prom tonight .
I was pretty surprised and Lillia actually opened my eyes .It's not the make up , it's the belief which we make up inside is the real beauty which finally makes us .
Tonight I walked into the prom with my routine messy bun like I always do , Trust me Lillia was still Prettiest of all us .
