Adultery Priya Didi

He stepped aside and answered the call. “Hello?”


“Hey, bro!” Amit’s voice crackled warmly over the speaker. “How’s the work-from-home life treating you?”

Ravi glanced toward Priya, who had walked to the balcony, facing away.

“Uh… good,” Ravi said. “Quiet.”

“Cool. Hey, small thing, do you mind helping a girl in our building?”  

“Sirisha, I think. She’s in 2nd year BTech.”  

“Her brother asked me if someone could guide her with a small project.”  

“Nothing big. I told him I don’t have time, but you might.”


Ravi blinked. “Sirisha?”


“Yeah. Very sweet girl. She lives with her brother and sister-in-law in 401.  Her brother is my friend. I think she’ll ping or knock sometime. Just help her if you can?”


“Sure,” Ravi said. “No problem.”


“Awesome. Tell Priya I miss her nagging. And don’t let her work too hard today!”

He laughed and hung up.

Ravi stared at the phone for a moment

Then turned toward the balcony.

Priya stood there, her arms crossed gently

The wind tugging at a few loose strands of her hair.

He watched her silently, sipping the tea she had made.

Something had shifted.

Not healed.

Not broken.

But changed.



And behind her calm, 

Behind the fresh tea and composed posture

He could sense it.



She was still thinking about the auto.

And so was he.
