Adultery Priya Didi

Priya Didi:

"And that day... I saw the way Sirisha looks at you. You probably didn’t notice it, but I did. And it made something in me ache."

Ravi:
"Didi..."

Priya Didi:
"No, listen. She’s young, bright, lovely. And she clearly enjoys your company. And it struck me... what if someone else walks in and takes your place in my day? What if you drift away because I pushed you back?"

Priya Didi:
"I can’t let that happen, Ravi. I don’t want to lose what we have. What you mean to me."

His fingers hovered. A hundred thoughts came rushing through. He didn’t know what to say first. But she saved him the trouble.

Priya Didi:
"You are one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Tall, fair, charming... and yet, no arrogance. No games. Just... Ravi."

Priya Didi:
"And maybe that’s why I kept you at a distance. Because it’s too easy to care for you. Too easy to smile when you’re around."

Ravi leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his chest quietly full. He typed slowly:

Ravi:
"I never asked for more than your smile, Didi. But I’ll always be here. In your corner. As long as you want me."

Priya Didi:
"I do. I want you in my world. Just closer. Not confused. Not distant."

Ravi:
"Then we begin again. No more silences."

Priya Didi:
"Promise?"

Ravi:
"On every evening we never talked. I promise."

Her typing paused for a long while.

Priya Didi:
"I’m going to sleep with a lighter heart tonight. Goodnight, Ravi."

Ravi:
"Goodnight, Didi. Sweet dreams."
He stared at the final message, a small smile playing on his lips. Not everything needed fixing. Some bonds, if real, always found their way back.
