Balayya stood behind Samantha and started shaving her head with his straight razor. the razor moved slowly as she watched her reflection, Her head was being shaved again, the same chair, the same shop, the same feeling returning to her chest. She swallowed hard. Half her head was already shaved when Raju came in with tea. Balayya smiled, “Tea time sam, will resume after few minutes” and stepped aside, leaving Samantha half bald. Nishan leaned closer and giggled, “Ammaaa, right side you have long hair left side you dont have hair at all, you look funny just like me.” Samantha frowned, “Enough, Nishan. Don’t talk nonsense, all because of you only i have to get head shave” Nishan laughed more, “Ayyo amma, head shave is nothing new for you, you are used of getting head shaved here!” She sighed, trying to stay calm, “I said stop teasing me nishan.” He started moving his fingers on her bald head and started tapping on it, “Amma we can play thabala on your bald head do you know that.” Others ...

Vishal stood outside the small barbershop, wiping sweat, asking Samantha if this place is good. She smiled lightly and said yes, this is the same shop where she used to get her haircuts in childhood. As they entered, Balayya looked up and smiled, recognizing her immediately. “Hey Sam… after many years, How are you” he said warmly. Samantha smiled shyly and asked him how he is.
