Ravi:
"I get it. Take all the time you need. I’m here."
The typing indicator blinked. Then stopped. Then blinked again.
Priya Didi:
"You’ve been really sweet through all this. Thanks."
Priya Didi:
"Ravi..."
He blinked.
The single word somehow carried more weight than entire sentences.
A moment later, another message came.
Priya Didi:
"You know... sometimes, a little distance makes us see what we were missing."
He sat up, heart stilled, gaze fixed on the screen.
Priya Didi:
"It’s strange. I thought silence would help me get back to normal. To be more... composed. But it didn’t. It just made me miss you more."
Ravi:
"Didi..."
Priya Didi:
"Please. Let me speak for a bit."
He didn’t type again. He waited. She continued.
Priya Didi:
"I didn’t stop talking to you because I was upset. Not really. I was just... confused. About myself. About how easily you’d become so important to me. I thought taking a few steps back would help me breathe."
Priya Didi:
"But all it did was make the air heavier. I missed your voice. Your teasing. Your silent kindness. Even your presence in the same room... gave me a kind of comfort I couldn’t explain."
Ravi let out a slow breath. His fingers finally moved.
Ravi:
"Didi, I never wanted to make things harder for you. I just didn’t want to vanish from your world."
Priya Didi:
"You didn’t. In fact, the opposite. I saw you everywhere. Even in silence."
There was a pause. Then came a sudden shift in her words.
"I get it. Take all the time you need. I’m here."
