6. Brahmam’s new cloth shop



CHAPTER 6
Brahmam’s new cloth shop

          Owner Brahmam was sitting at the cash counter reading Chandamama stories. Yedu entered the shop.

Brahmam looked up at Yedu and pointed to the clock. “You have come 10 minutes late. Remember that I am very strict.”

Yedu smiled and gave a good pose. “Brother, if I come 5 minutes late, I leave 10 minutes late.”

“Ok ok. Remember to talk pleasantly to the customers. Make them purchase at least a kerchief before leaving.”

“Don’t worry brother. You just watch my touch. I will talk to the villagers like a villager and I will talk in English with the educated. After all I have passed 10th standard.”

************************************************

          Mohini was walking on the road in great style. People were attracted to her stylish modern dress and her style of walking. But Mohini was very careful not to let her body touch anybody else’s.

One man looked at his friend and said, “She reminds me of Silk Smitha. She must be new to our area. I have never seen her before.”

Friend stared at Mohini. “I see Mamaita Khan in her.  She came to stay in our neibouring house with her father just 4 days ago.”

Mohini went to a flower shop and purchased a rose. She gives money carefully so that her hand does not touch the seller’s hand. The seller is shocked to see her drop the money into his hand. He tried to put the change into her hand.

Moving her hand away, Mohini said, “Please drop the coins from top. I will catch them. I am not supposed to touch anyone.”

Seller was shocked. But he obeyed her and dropped the coins into her palm.

****************************************************

          Mohini entered Brahmam’s shop. Brahmam is shocked to see the sexy Mohini enter the shop. He stared at her. “What do you want, madam”

“I want so many things. I will check and select what I want.” Said Mohini looking into Brahmam’s eyes.
She entered the shop. Yedu stared at her. Brahmam gave signal to Yedu pointing to Mohini. Yedu nodded. Mohini went and stood in front of Yedu.

“What do you want, madam? Sari, blouse, midi?

Mohini looked around the shop. Then she stared into Yedu’s eyes and asked, “Do you have what I want?”

Yedu was shocked and excited. “Just tell me what you want. I am ready to give it to you.”

Mohini removed a piece of cloth from her purse. “I have a sari of this colour. I want a matching blouse.”

Yedu took the cloth and after comparing the colour, he took out a matching blouse piece.

Looking at the blouse piece with disappointment, Mohini said, “I don’t want blouse piece. I want readymade blouse.”

Yedu looked at her chest and felt shiver of excitement run through his body. “No problem. If you agree, I will get your blouse ready by evening. You just need to give me your body measurements.”

Mohini looked at him romantically. “Take measurements with your eyes. But the fitting must be perfect.”

Looking at her chest romatically, Yedu said “Sorry. I cannot take measurements with my eyes. If you agree, I will take measurements with tape.”’

Mohini felt shy. Brahmam was watching the scene from far.

“Ok. But on one condition. You must take measurements without touching.”

Yedu saw Brahmam watching. He made actions with smile to indicate that he was selling something. Brahmam was happy.

Mohini saw Brahmam watching and said to Yedu, “No measurements in public.”

Yedu pointed to a door. “There is a private room. If you follow me, I will take measurements there with tape.”

“No problem. But without touch.”

Both enter the room. Brahmam was shocked.
