I tightened my fingers around his wrist and pulled his hand out in one firm movement.

His fingers slid free of my maroon panties and out from under the white petticoat. The sudden absence of his touch left my pussy throbbing and wet, but I did not give him the chance to return. I kept my grip on his wrist for one more second, looking straight at him, before I released it.
He did not comment. His face stayed polite and professional, as if the hand inside my panties had been nothing more than an adjustment. He simply continued dbanging the rest of my yellow saree. He finished the front pleats with quick, neat movements, brought the remaining length around my waist, and arranged the pallu over my left shoulder. In less than a minute the yellow saree sat properly on my body again, covering the white petticoat and the yellow blouse completely.
Only then did he step back.
He turned toward Sathyavathi, who was still holding the maroon and green sarees he had selected for her. The shop owner stood beside her, the front of his white dhoti visibly wet and darkened where he had just finished inside it. He had composed his face, but the evidence remained.
The young worker spoke to Sathyavathi in the same helpful tone.
“Madam, shall I dbang one of these on you as well? You can see the exact fall and how the colour sits. It will only take a minute.”
Sathyavathi looked at him for a brief second. Her eyes flicked once toward me, then toward the owner, and back to the worker. The practical intelligence in her expression was clear. She had already understood more than she was willing to say out loud.
“No,” she said firmly, yet still politely.
“It’s okay. I can tell from looking. I don’t need to try them on.”
She folded both sarees over her arm and held them out.
“Just give the bill for these two and for the orange one she is taking. We will pay and leave.”
The young worker hesitated only a moment, then nodded.
“As you wish, madam.”
He took the two sarees from her and moved toward the narrow staircase that led back down to the ground floor, where the billing counter waited. The shop owner followed more slowly, still adjusting the front of his stained white dhoti with one hand as he went.
I stood in the middle of the first floor, fully covered again by my yellow saree, the wetness in my maroon panties cooling against my pussy, the restless ache still present but no longer exposed. Sathyavathi came to my side and gave me a small, private look that said she had seen enough and wanted to get out of the shop as soon as possible.
“Let’s go down and finish this,” she said quietly.
I nodded and followed her toward the stairs, the yellow saree moving around my legs with every step, the memory of his fingers and the owner’s open staring still sitting heavy in my body.


We came down the narrow wooden stairs to the ground floor. The young worker had already placed the orange Kanchipuram saree and the two sarees Sathyavathi had chosen on the counter. The shop owner stood behind it, the front of his white dhoti still slightly darkened, though he had arranged the folds to hide most of the evidence. His face had returned to its usual business expression.
He looked at both of us and spoke in a helpful tone.
“The sarees are ready for billing. Do you also want blouses stitched for them? If you give the measurement now, I can have the blouses ready in two hours. You can finish your other shopping and collect everything when you return.”
Sathyavathi did not answer immediately. She picked up the handwritten bill he had already started preparing and examined the figures carefully.
“Show me the full amount first,” she said.
The owner turned the paper toward her. The prices for the three sarees were listed, along with a separate line for blouse stitching.
Sathyavathi studied it for a few seconds, then spoke in a clear, practical voice.
“We came all the way from our village only to this shop because you usually give proper discount for regular customers. Today the rates are higher than last time. For three sarees this total is too much.”
She placed the bill back on the counter and continued without raising her tone.
“Reduce the price of each saree by a reasonable amount. And tell me clearly — if we are buying three sarees together, is the blouse stitching free or not? If it is charged extra, then the overall cost does not make sense for us. We can go to another shop and compare.”
The owner rubbed his hands together, already calculating.
“Madam, the silk quality is higher this time. Kanchipuram rates have gone up. But for you both… alright. I will reduce two hundred on each saree.”
Sathyavathi shook her head once.
“Not enough. Make it three hundred less on each, and include the blouse stitching free for all three. We are taking three sarees in one bill. That is a fair request. If you agree, we will pay now and leave the measurement. If not, we will take only one saree and go.”
She said it politely, but the firmness underneath was unmistakable. She had already weighed the value of their regular custom against his desire to close the sale.
The owner looked at the three sarees, then at us, then back at the bill. After a short silence he nodded.
“Alright, madam. Three hundred less on each saree. Blouse stitching free for all three. Give the measurements now. The blouses will be ready in two hours.”
Sathyavathi gave a small, satisfied nod.
“Write the final amount.”
He revised the bill, crossed out the earlier figures, and wrote the new total. Sathyavathi checked every line once more, confirmed the free stitching was noted, and only then took out the money. She paid the exact amount, received the receipt, and turned to me.
“We will give the measurements and then continue with the rest of the shopping. Two hours is enough time.”
I remained quiet beside her, still feeling the lingering wetness in my maroon panties and the restless heat that had not fully settled, while the owner prepared the measurement book and the young worker waited near the counter, both of them now fully returned to the role of shop staff.


Sathyavathi opened her small bag and took out a neatly folded old blouse — her measurement blouse. She placed it on the counter in front of the shop owner.
“This is my measurement,” she said.
“Stitch the blouses for my two sarees according to this. Same style, same fitting.”
The owner took the measurement blouse, examined the size and the cut, and nodded.
“Alright, madam. Both blouses will be ready in two hours according to this.”
Then Sathyavathi looked at me.
I felt the quiet weight of the moment. In the rush and the tension of the morning — everything with Kumar, the river crossing, the long walk, the bus, and then everything that had happened upstairs — I had completely forgotten to bring my own measurement blouse. It was still hanging in the cupboard at home.
“I don’t have my measurement blouse,” I said.
“I forgot to bring it.”
Sathyavathi understood at once. She did not make a show of it in front of the two men.
“It’s alright,” she said practically.
“We will go to our regular tailor. He already has your measurements from last time. We can give the orange saree there and collect the blouse later. No need to take new measurements here.”
I nodded, relieved that she had closed the matter so quickly.
“Yes. That is better.”
The shop owner looked mildly disappointed at the lost extra work, but he said nothing. Sathyavathi checked the receipt once more, confirmed that the free stitching for her two blouses was written clearly, and that the final reduced amount for the three sarees had been paid in full. There was no balance left to settle now. The two hours would be only for collecting her stitched blouses.
“We will come back in two hours for my blouses,” she told him.
“Keep them ready.”
He gave a short nod.
“They will be ready, madam.”
Sathyavathi picked up the orange Kanchipuram saree (already packed) along with her two chosen sarees. I adjusted the pallu of my yellow saree one last time. Without looking again at the young worker or the shop owner, we turned and walked out of the small shop into the busy town street.
The door closed behind us. The sounds of the town — vehicles, voices, the general movement of people — surrounded us at once. I walked beside Sathyavathi, the yellow saree moving around my legs, the residual wetness in my maroon panties still present, and the quiet decision already made that my own blouse would be handled only at the familiar tailor we both trusted.
