Adultery Priya Didi

They stayed like that


Maybe for two seconds. 

Maybe more.


Then slowly, so slowly, her hand slid away. 

Returned to her lap.

But she didn’t apologize. Didn’t glance at him.

Only her breathing changed.

Just slightly.

Ravi turned his head, inch by inch, unable to help himself.

And for a second, just one long, heavy second, she turned too. 

Their eyes met.

And in that second, Ravi saw it.

Not desire.

Conflict.

A war behind her eyes. 

A quiet storm crashing against a wall she couldn’t admit was already cracked.

And yet

She didn’t look away.

She just… looked at him.

As though she knew everything he felt.

As though she felt it too.

But had nowhere to place it.


The moment broke as the auto slowed down. 

A red light. 

The city loud again.

She turned her face away, gently adjusting her hair.


Ravi breathed again

Not realizing he had been holding it.

And in that breath was shame. 

And longing. 

And confusion. 

And heat.

They didn’t speak.

They didn’t have to.

The silence between them wasn’t awkward now.

It was dangerous.
