Wednesday, 11:42 PM – Messages That Don't Need Replies
Abhi sat on the edge of his bed, the phone dimly lit in his hand.
A single unread message blinked from Meghana—just a soft “She’s still quiet.” He had nothing to reply.
Instead, he opened Varnika’s chat again.
She was online.
His heart kicked.
But then it calmed. He knew she wouldn’t write.
Still... he typed.
Abhi:
I was thinking about your interview today.
I hope the panel didn’t ask too many weird questions.
Sent.
Blue ticks.
Instantly.
She was watching.
He swallowed, waiting.
Nothing.
He typed again, slowly.
Abhi:
I missed your chatter today.
The quiet felt too heavy.
Pause.
Blue ticks.
Still no reply.
He rested his thumb against the keyboard.
Then typed, paused, deleted.
Typed again.
Abhi:
You left without a word this morning.
I don’t blame you. Just… I wish I could explain.
But maybe you don’t want that right now. I get it.
A long breath.
