A Sudden Reminder
The stillness between them hung like a delicate silk thread.
The warmth.
The scent.
The unspoken nearness.
Sirisha had closed her eyes.
She wasn’t asleep, but she wasn’t speaking either.
And Ravi stayed right there, frozen in time, watching her breathe.
He couldn’t tell how long they had been lying like this.
Five minutes? Ten?
Then
Ding.
A soft chime echoed from the table.
It was his phone. He had left it charging on the table.
Another ding.
Then a vibration.
A third message.
Sirisha’s eyes fluttered open.
She turned to him, her voice dreamy and slow.
“Your phone’s calling you back to the real world, Bhayya…”
He looked at her, still lost.
“Looks like it’s not done with you yet.”
Ravi sighed, sitting up slowly, not ready to leave this warmth.
But the spell had shifted.
