Adultery Priya Didi

[shailu4ever]

Just looked at her plate and smiled.


A quiet smile. 

One you don’t return, you just notice.

A few more bites passed in silence.

“You’re easy to talk to, Ravi,” she said suddenly.

He glanced up.

“Sometimes I find it hard with people. Too formal. Too rehearsed. But with you... it just flows.”

Ravi swallowed slowly.

“It’s easy with you too, Didi,” he said,

Voice lower now. “Maybe because you don’t talk like you’re trying to impress anyone. You just… are.”

There was a stillness between them now. Not awkward. Just soft. Open.

“I don’t think Amit expected us to bond this quickly,” she said,

Finally. “He thought you’d stay in your room mostly.”


“He doesn’t know you’re the reason I leave it.”

She looked at him

Eyes lingering just a little too long this time.

“Ravi…” she began, but didn’t finish.


He shook his head lightly. “I know. I’m careful.”


“I appreciate that.”

She got up, collected their plates.

He offered to help, and she let him this time.

They moved around each other in the kitchen, quiet,

Choreographed without meaning to be.

Washing, wiping, putting things back in place.

After they were done, she leaned on the counter, sipping water from a steel tumbler.

“You’ll be here for a while, right?” she asked.


“A few months, at least.”

“Good,” she said, turning away. “It’s… nice to have someone around.”

As she walked toward her room, Ravi watched her go.

And for a fleeting second, she turned.

Not to say anything.

Just… to look.

And then she disappeared behind her door.
