Adultery Priya Didi

“You miss Vizag?” he asked.

“Sometimes,” she said.

 “I miss the stillness there. 
The beach, The temple bells in the morning.
The smells. My mother shouting at me for waking up late.”

 She smiled faintly. “But mostly I miss… not having to figure everything out alone.”

Ravi didn’t respond immediately. He felt the weight in that pause.

“I know what you mean,” he said eventually.

“Even I thought moving here would feel like… a movie montage. New city, new job, friends, weekends, maybe fall in love…”

Priya gave a soft, amused look.

“…But it’s mostly just me fighting traffic and praying the Wi-Fi holds.”

That earned a small laugh from her. “You’ll be fine, Didi is here to guide you,” she said,

Teasing lightly, the word ‘Didi’ wrapped in irony this time.


“Oh, thank god,” Ravi said with mock relief. “I’ve always wanted a gorgeous mentor who cooks lemon rice and teaches me life lessons.”

She raised an eyebrow. “Careful, Ravi. Your sarcasm is showing.”

“I’m not being sarcastic, Priya Didi,” he grinned. “I’m just expressing deep admiration.”

She rolled her eyes, but she didn’t stop smiling.

“Okay, your turn,” she said. “Why are you single?”

Ravi pretended to gasp. “Direct question!”

“Well?”

He shrugged. “Honestly? Too many moving pieces. Changing cities. College-to-job transition. And maybe…” 

He hesitated. “…maybe I haven’t met someone who just… fit. You know?”

She nodded, not asking further.

He looked at her now, eyes thoughtful.

“And you? I mean, don’t take this the wrong way, but you seem a little young to be married.”


She didn’t seem offended.
