Ravi:
“I promise.”
Sirisha:
“Okay… I believe you.”
“I just… like being around you.”
He looked at her message and let that moment sit with him for a while before replying.
Ravi:
“And I enjoy every moment with you too.”
“You’re full of energy. Laughter. Mischief. It’s refreshing.”
Her reply came almost instantly...
Sirisha:
“So I didn’t ruin anything?”
Ravi:
“Not even close.”
“You made my Thursday more colorful than it had any right to be.”
Sirisha:
“Hehe. That’s a sweet way of putting it.”
Then, just as he thought the conversation was winding down…
Sirisha:
“Will you still spend time with me tomorrow?”
Ravi smiled.
Ravi:
“Wouldn’t miss it for anything.”
Sirisha:
“Good. Then I’ll sleep well tonight.”
“Goodnight, Bhayya.”
Ravi:
“Goodnight, you little storm.”
He set the phone down, feeling lighter than he had all evening.
Sirisha's doubt, her honesty, it stirred something protective in him.
And though his world was still full of emotional undercurrents,
Her brightness had become a thread of joy he was quietly starting to cherish.
