After keeping the saree in her cupboard, Padma couldn’t stop thinking about it.
A little later, while Mohan was in the living room, she opened the cupboard again.
She took the black saree out.
She spread it across the bed and looked at it carefully.
The subtle shimmer caught the bedroom light.
Padma ran her fingers over the fabric.
? Padma: “Let’s see how you actually look…”
She changed into the saree and stood in front of the mirror.
At first, she felt slightly awkward.
It was different from the sarees she normally wore. The darker colour and understated shimmer gave her a more sophisticated appearance.
She adjusted the pleats.
Then the pallu.
She stepped back and looked at herself from a distance.
For a few seconds, she simply stared.
She wasn’t wearing heavy jewellery—just her mangalya chain, small earrings and watch.
Yet the saree itself made her look different.
Padma turned slightly toward the mirror.
Then she adjusted the pallu again.
? Padma: “Maybe it isn’t too much…”
She smiled faintly at her reflection.
Padma came out of the bedroom wearing the black saree with a simple, well-fitted blouse that complemented it perfectly. She had kept everything else understated—her mangalya chain, small earrings and watch.
She stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the pallu one last time.
Mohan looked at her and smiled.
? Mohan: “Beautiful.”
Padma glanced at him.
Then he added, almost casually:
? Mohan: “This really suits you. Especially on your figure.”
Padma suddenly went still.
For a moment, she didn’t hear anything else.
The words had taken her straight back to the shopping.
Rajan standing a few feet away.
The black saree in his hands.
“This suits you.”
Then—
“Especially on your figure.”
Padma’s fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the pallu.
She looked at herself and asked Mohan what did you say ?
? Mohan: “What happened?”
Padma quickly shook her head.
? Padma: “Nothing.”
She smiled faintly.
? Padma: “I was just looking at the saree.”
But her mind had already returned to that moment in the shop.
She hadn’t told Mohan that Rajan had said those exact words.
And now, hearing them from her husband, the memory felt strangely vivid.
Padma looked away from the mirror.
For some reason, she couldn’t stop thinking about it.
