Adultery Priya Didi

[shailu4ever]

Amit called out, “Hey Priya, leave it, yaar. Wash tomorrow. Come sit for a bit.”


“I’ll finish up quickly,” she replied. Calm. Smooth. But the words weren’t for Ravi.

They were only for Amit.

Ravi stepped away.

He stood near the window for a moment, staring into the black outline of the city.

The lights in other flats. The occasional bark of a dog. Somewhere nearby, a couple laughed—loud, carefree.

He turned away. Walked into his room. Closed the door softly.

He sat on the bed, palms on his knees, heart a knot.

What had he done?

The feeling of her hip in his hand hadn’t left him. The way her body had stiffened.

The way she moved away, cold and quiet.

And now this,

This long, unbroken silence. 

Her beauty still haunted the space between rooms, but her warmth was gone.

She hadn’t said a word since that ride.

He lay down, staring at the ceiling. Shadows flickered as headlights passed the windows.

He had crossed something.

Something invisible.

And now… she was nowhere near him.

And what scared him most wasn’t her anger.

It was her absence.

The quiet was louder than any shouting could be.

In the next room, he heard Amit laugh again. 

Priya said something, muffled. 

Then footsteps.

The bedroom door closed.

The night settled.

And Ravi lay awake, eyes wide open, wondering if he had just broken something he never had the right to touch.
