Concluding the Dinner
The soft clinking of plates and glasses faded as the meal came to a gentle end.
The warmth of the room seemed to wrap around them, leaving the air thick with the closeness they had shared.
Abhi and Madhavi both stood, a quiet understanding between them.
Abhi’s movements were slow, his mind still lingering on the touch of her lips, the tenderness in their shared moments.
“Shall we wash our hands?” he asked quietly, breaking the silence with a simple, natural suggestion.
Madhavi nodded, offering him a soft smile. “Yes, of course,” she replied,
Her voice still tinged with the quiet intensity that had been building between them all afternoon.
They moved toward the kitchen, the space between them almost unbearably close,
as if each step brought them closer to some unknown boundary they were both on the verge of crossing.
Abhi turned on the tap, the soft hiss of water filling the space as he let the warm flow run over his hands.
As he washed, he felt the lingering warmth of the meal, but more so, the lingering warmth of her presence.
He knew the moment would come, but he wasn’t in any hurry.
Once he finished, he turned toward her, his heart beating a little faster.
Madhavi was still standing by the sink, waiting, but there was something in the way she looked at him now—trust,
curiosity, a quiet, unspoken invitation.
“Madhavi,” he said, his voice low but steady, “Let me wash your hands.”
Her eyes widened just slightly, the vulnerability in her expression clear, but there was no hesitation in her movements.
She held out her hand to him, her fingers delicate, almost like a small offering.
