Sirisha from 401 - Intro
It was almost noon.
Ravi had been staring at his screen for a good twenty minutes,
Barely reading the words.
Lines of code and requirements blurred in his mind
Replaced by Priya’s voice from earlier that morning.
Her eyes. The way she said his name.
A strange silence had lingered between them ever since.
Ravi worked from the second bedroom, the door half-closed.
He hadn’t stepped out since breakfast.
His phone buzzed.
New number. Local.
He answered.
“Hello?”
“Hi! Is this Ravi?”
The voice was youthful, brisk, cheerful, and full of life.
“Yes, speaking.”
“Heyyy! I’m Sirisha. I live in 401. Amit bhayya said you might help me with a small project. My brother spoke to him yesterday?”
“Oh, yes. I was expecting your call,” Ravi said, sitting up a little straighter.
“Whew! Okay, great,” she giggled. “I was nervous calling. My hands were literally sweating, don’t ask me why.”
