Thursday Night – 11:37 PM – Sirisha’s Message
Ravi was just about to plug in his phone for the night when it vibrated.
Sirisha.
Sirisha:
“Ravi bhayya… can I ask something?”
He blinked. This late? He typed back.
Ravi:
“Of course, kiddo. What happened?”
A pause.
Sirisha:
“Why didn’t you come for dinner at 401?”
“Was it because of me?”
“Did I cross a line today…?”
Ravi sat up. He wasn’t expecting this.
Ravi:
“Hey... not at all.”
“Why would you think that?”
She took a moment, then replied:
Sirisha:
“I don’t know… I felt like I was a bit too much.”
“That teasing… the perfume… the bed moment…”
“I was just being me. But after you left, I started worrying…”
Ravi smiled faintly, a mix of affection and guilt rising in his chest.
Ravi:
“Sirisha, you were being you. That’s never a problem.”
“You light up any space you walk into.”
“And I didn’t avoid dinner because of you. I just needed some time alone tonight.”
Another pause. Then...
Sirisha:
“Really?”
