My full midriff was exposed now. He said “for a woman your age, I have to admit that you have a very flat and enticing sexy belly and you should be proud of it”.
This was the first compliment he had given me and it really felt very nice. He continued “majority of women struggle to have a flat belly like this and you already have it. This is one of the most sensual thing about a woman and is a big turn for most men”.
He was freely feeling my entire midriff sending pleasure waves thru my body arousing me greatly. He continued with his measurements and after he was done, he said “now wear your saree and meet me at the counter”.
He turned towards the door but stopped. He said “make sure you wear it without raising the petticoat” and left. I was very impressed with his gentlemanly behavior today.
I decided to follow his instructions without using my brains for once. After draping my saree, I turned to the full length mirror to see how I looked now.
I could not believe my eyes, yes my full belly was exposed but more than that I was feeling very differently nice about it. Rafiq was surely right. Then I looked below and my saree was barely an inch above the ground.
Now I was in no mood to do community service by sweeping the floor when I walked so made mental notes to tell Rafiq about it. I went to the counter where he was busy on his sewing machine.
He joined me at the table and said “I am going to tell you a few things to do. If you want my help, then trust me and just do it”. I nodded yes. He continued “this will also mean that you change your mindset. It might be difficult but just do it for your own good”. I replied “okay”.
He did not unlock the door or change the sign to open. He retorted “okay is not enough. Say it that you will do it”. I repeated “yes Rafiq I will do everything you say”.
He replied “good now look at this catalogue for the blouse designs”. I said “before you proceed, let me show you one problem I have”. I showed him the saree barely off the floor.
He laughed and said “madam if you want to look sexy and desirable for your husband then consider wearing some heels. Flat footwear like yours will not help”.
Now I retorted back “I am already 5-9 in height, how do you expect me to wear heels”? He calmly answered “how tall is your husband”? I replied “he is easily 6”.
Rafiq said “so where is the problem? You have three inches to play with”. I replied “if I look the same height as him then what will people say”? He irritatedly shot back “for god’s sake Anita, please understand that you are doing all this for your husband. Not for the people”.
I wanted to interrupt him but before that he put his finger on my lips indicating me to keep quiet. He said “Okay let’s negotiate, you can wear 2” sandals and still be shorter than him by an inch”.
Pulling out an empty paper from his notebook, he wrote “shopping list” followed by item number one – 2” sandals. He turned to me and said “remember Anita, if you change what I am writing here then please don’t bother to come back here”.
