Flat 205, Saturday Day (Frustration, Flirting, and Longing)
The late Saturday morning sun spilled through the curtains, casting a warm, golden glow across Flat 205. The room, once alive with energy, now felt unbearably quiet. Ravi was pacing, his thoughts scattered as he scrolled through his phone.
The previous week had been a rollercoaster of emotions, guilt, regret, longing, and today, all of it seemed to hit him harder than ever. He had hoped for a few hours of escape today. Just a little time to reconnect with Neetu or Sirisha, to drown out the silence that had been haunting him ever since Priya’s call.
He took a deep breath, his fingers hovering over Neetu’s contact. "Maybe she’s free today. Maybe things will be different."
He typed a quick message:
Ravi: “Hey Neetu, are you free today? Would love to catch up if you have some time.”
He stared at the screen as the message delivered, then waited. It felt like an eternity, but just as he was about to put the phone down, it buzzed with a response.
Neetu: “Hey, Ravi! I would’ve loved to, but Vamsi is home today. He’s staying in. You know how it is, right? When he’s here, everything gets... busy. I won’t be able to meet today. ”
Ravi felt a slight pang of disappointment in his chest. Vamsi is home, and that meant no time alone with Neetu or Sirisha. He hadn’t realized how much he had been looking forward to seeing them until now. Their absence, or rather the absence of their time together, made him feel even more isolated. But he wasn’t about to let it show.
Neetu: “Maybe tomorrow if Vamsi goes to see his parents? You know I’m always up for some fun. And with three of us meeting that fun will be three times (or threesome). I’ll let you know if I get some time. We’ll figure it out!”
Ravi chuckled softly, despite the frustration eating at him. Neetu had that effect, she could always turn a frustrating situation into something playful, even over text. It was the spark that had drawn him to her in the first place. He quickly typed back:
