Adultery Antarvasana: The Forbidden Fire – *** Varnika's First Surrender ***

[shailu4ever]

Abhi (9:26 PM)
You weren’t the only one who felt that.
You gave me something I didn’t know I was ready to receive.

He stared at her words. 

Exposed.

Seen.

He knew exactly what she meant.



Meghana (9:28 PM)
What was it?

She was afraid to ask. 

But more afraid not to.



Abhi (9:30 PM)
Space to be soft. And still be strong.
Space to want someone without fear of being too much.

His chest rose slowly as he hit send. 

That was the truth. 

Maybe the truest thing he’d said all day.




Meghana (9:32 PM)
Then we both gave each other something real.
Even if we have to wait to see what it becomes.



A long pause. 

Neither typed. 

Both just… sat with the weight of it.



Abhi (9:39 PM)
Do you think she’ll be okay?


Meghana (9:42 PM)
She’s strong. But she’s also younger. It’s not the pain that worries me—it’s the silence.
Let her be silent for a while. But be there when she breaks it.


Abhi (9:44 PM)
I will.
And I’ll be here for you too.
Even if there’s no yoga mat in the room tomorrow.


Meghana (9:46 PM)
That mat was just a surface.
What happened between us wasn’t confined to it.


She put her phone down then, breathing slower. 

And for the first time all evening, her fingers stopped shaking.
