This is a quick pen, ink, and watercolour sketch. It is approximately 5.5" x 4.25" on what seems to be 100 gsm paper.

Muniamma is the elder lady in green. She sells the flowers that her daughter Meena, buys in bulk from the market and strings them into "mozhams". This morning, they are resting before the start of work...

(Imaginary narrative provided by my wife Nithya)

Not to be outdone, Nithya's niece Kaveri came up with:
Muniamma was anxiously waiting for her grandchildren to come to her after school. This was the first time they were making the bus journey on their own. Seeing how nervous she was, Meena decided to drink her coffee, sitting next to Muniamma, at the bus stop, and is seen talking to her, in an attempt to distract her from worrying.

The narrative fits your sketch very well! One figure looks relaxed and the other does look anxious. You capture life’s little moments so well!
