Neetu’s Conflict: A Conversation with Herself
Neetu stood in front of the mirror,
Her hand still wrapped around the towel at her chest.
The steam from the shower lingered, and her mind raced.
"What am I doing?"
She pressed her fingertips to her forehead,
Trying to push away the thoughts, but they only grew louder.
She’d just walked past Ravi wrapped in a towel,
Flirting, teasing, playing with fire.
"You know this isn’t right. Vamsi… he works so hard for us. He doesn’t deserve this."
Her heart twisted.
She knew it was wrong, but the longing, the ache, it was real, undeniable.
She thought of Vamsi, his strong arms, his kindness, his jokes.
She loved him. She did.
"But he’s never here. Two hours each way, every single day… How can I blame him? He’s just trying to provide."
She sank onto the bed, her mind torn between guilt and desire.
She could hear Vamsi’s laugh in her mind,
The way he held her at night, even if it was just for a few hours before sleep took over.
"But that’s the thing… he’s not here.
When he is, it’s only for a short time.
And when he’s not, I’m left with this… this emptiness."
