A Ping in the Dark
Ravi had just placed his phone on the side table when it buzzed again.
Ping.
He blinked at the screen, already past midnight.
Sirisha:
I forgot to say thank you properly, sir ? You really helped me today.
He smiled faintly.
Ravi:
No need for “sir.” Just Ravi is fine.
But you’re welcome ?
Sirisha:
Okay Ravi Bhayya ?
Then thank you, Ravi Bhayya.
Your handwriting on the whiteboard is cooler than most teachers ?
Ravi:
You’ve already figured out how to flatter your mentors, I see.
Dangerous skill.
Sirisha:
Hehe. Not flatter. Just… noticed things.
Also, you didn’t get bored right? ? I was talking too much I guess.
