Thursday, 6:45 PM – A Message from Her
Ravi smiled as he walked into his flat, still feeling the warmth and mischief of the afternoon.
It was almost evening, the sky slowly transitioning from soft orange to a gentle blue,
Casting a warm hue through the living room window.
He poured himself a glass of water and dropped into the sofa, finally letting his body relax.
Just then, a notification popped up on his phone.
Priya Didi:
"Hope you're feeling better now. Took a while to wind down here too."
He smiled.
Ravi:
"A little. Today’s been... intense."
A moment passed before her reply came.
Priya Didi:
"That’s a good word for it."
He paused, fingers hovering over the keyboard.
He wanted to say more, so much more.
But her tone was still guarded.
Closer than before, yes. Warmer, maybe. But there were still unspoken things between them.
Ravi:
"Missed our evening talks, though. Tea doesn’t taste the same alone."
This time, she took a few seconds.
Priya Didi:
"I miss them too. It’s just... I needed some time."
He nodded slowly, even though she couldn’t see him. He understood. He always did.
