He pulled out his phone and started scrolling. “Pizza? Thai? Or shall we do biryani?”
Ravi forced a laugh. “Anything’s good.”
Priya didn’t speak.
She sat on the sofa quietly, massaging her temples.
But Ravi noticed, her eyes weren’t fully closed. She was avoiding looking at him.
The silence in the room had taken a new shape.
And Amit, cheerful and oblivious, kept tapping on his phone.
“Okay done. Food in 30. No one moves till then,” he declared
Stretching out. “I’m going to shower quick. You guys chill.”
He disappeared into the bedroom.
And once again, the room shrank into silence.
Ravi stole a glance at her.
Her eyes were on the table now.
Her expression unreadable.
She didn’t speak.
Didn’t scold.
Didn’t ask why he’d done what he did.
But somehow, that quiet burned more than any slap ever could.
He wanted to go over. Say more. Explain himself better.
But something in her posture said: not now.
Not here. Not with Amit just a room away.
Not when things had already begun to shift.
So he sat back.
And waited a something to change.
-- oOo --
