Adultery Radiance of Vanitha

After dinner, she came to Selvam’s bedroom.


“I could not sleep, can we brainstorm some ideas?”

"I've been thinking about new content for my Instagram,"

Vanitha laid out the shimmering fabrics across Selvam's bed, the rich crimson and gold threads catching the light. She ran her fingers delicately over the intricate embroidery, her eyes alight with excitement.

"What do you think of this blouse design, Appa? It's a modern take on the traditional choli," she said, holding up a sketch with measurements penciled in the margins. "The back is completely open except for these thin gold chains that dbang across."

Selvam cleared his throat, his eyes lingering on the sketch longer than he intended. "It's certainly... artistic, Vani. But isn't it a bit revealing for Instagram?"

"That's the point," Vanitha laughed, the sound like silver bells in the quiet room.

"My followers love when I blend traditional elements with contemporary fashion. This one will showcase the classical dance mudras while highlighting the modern silhouette."

She leaned closer to him, the faint jasmine of her perfume enveloping them both.

"Besides, you've always encouraged my artistic expression, haven't you?"

Selvam shifted uncomfortably, acutely aware of her proximity. The evening's earlier encounter in the kitchen had left him raw, his defenses weakened. Now, with her so close, surrounded by fabrics and designs that would accentuate every curve of her body, he felt himself teetering on a dangerous precipice.

"Your artistic expression has always been impressive," he managed, his voice carefully controlled. "But there's a fine line between art and..."

"And what, Uncle?" Vanitha prompted, her eyes meeting his with that same knowing look she'd worn in the kitchen. "Between art and seduction?"

The word hung between them, heavy with implication. Selvam's fingers tightened imperceptibly on the edge of the sketch he held.

"I was going to say 'and controversy,'" he corrected, though his eyes betrayed him. "Your Instagram already attracts plenty of attention. This design might bring the wrong kind."

Vanitha smiled, a slow curve of her lips that reminded him painfully of her online messages—the ones he'd responded to
close, the delicate scent of her skin mingling with jasmine, he struggled to maintain his composure.

"I support your creativity, of course," he managed, his voice betraying a slight roughness.

"But there are certain... boundaries to consider."

Vanitha's smile turned enigmatic as she gathered the fabric, letting it cascade through her fingers like water.

"Boundaries are interesting things, aren't they? Sometimes they protect us, and sometimes they just... limit us."
