Adultery Priya Didi

[shailu4ever]

They were sitting close... Again...



Not by force now.

But by habit.

And by something else neither of them named.

The auto jolted forward.

The engine buzzed.

Mumbai began to blur past.

And still, they did not speak.

Ravi told himself to relax. Look outside. Be normal.

But his body betrayed him.

His entire right side was on fire, where her shoulder brushed his,

where the edge of her arm rested against his,

where the slightest shift in posture made her lean just faintly into him.

She wasn’t pulling away.

Every pothole.

Every sudden turn.

Every tiny bounce

It was like the city itself had conspired to bring them closer.

And Priya, she didn’t move away anymore.



Her dupatta had slipped once

Falling between them

But she didn’t fix it.
