Adultery Priya Didi

Her breath


It was quiet… and shaky.

They didn’t speak for the rest of the ride.

They didn’t need to.

Something had passed between them

Not a word, not a promise

Not a touch they could explain.

But something had passed.



When the auto finally rolled to a stop

She adjusted her duppatta again

Tucking it across her chest with careful fingers.

She climbed out first, without a word.

Ravi followed, slower, heart heavy and electric all at once.

She turned to him once they stood by the gate of the old flat.

Her voice was perfectly normal.

“We should take pictures of everything inside. Amit will ask.”

But her eyes lingered longer than they used to.

And when she walked ahead, Ravi watched her

Feeling the aftershocks of every brush

Every breath

Every accidental moment.


Nothing had been said.

No line had been crossed.


But something inside them, had already fallen.
