Tuesday Night – The Sudden Goodbye



Ravi was still in the living room, standing like a man left in a dream too soon.

The scent of jasmine lingered.

So did the imprint of her presence on the couch.

That saree… her gaze… her closeness.

It was all still there.

But the spell had broken.

The front door clicked open.

Amit stepped in, slightly breathless, a backpack slung over his shoulder.

“Ravi!” he called, already pulling out his phone. “Can you help me for a minute? Priya! Come, start packing!”

Priya came out of the bedroom, her face composed, but there was a rawness in her eyes. She didn’t even glance at Ravi.

“What happened?” Ravi asked, walking toward Amit.

“My father’s condition worsened.

The doctor said there’s no guarantee he’ll make it through the next 48 hours.

We’re flying tonight, there’s a 1:15 AM flight. My cousin booked it just now.”

“Need help with anything?” Ravi asked, his voice calm, but inside—he was sinking.

“No, I’ll manage. Just… can you drop us at the airport maybe?” Amit asked, his voice tight.

Priya moved around the house quickly,

Packing, calling relatives, answering back-to-back messages.

Her saree rustled as she moved,

And yet it no longer felt like a moment of beauty, it was now armor, duty, the goodbye she didn’t get to speak.

Ravi stood silently by the door as they bustled through the chaos.

Thirty minutes later, they were packed.
