Adultery Priya Didi

Scene: A Quiet Moment of Healing

 

The room is dimly lit, with the soft glow of the lamp casting long shadows along the walls. The air is still, yet heavy with the unspoken tension that has hung between Ravi and Priya for what feels like weeks.
 
Priya is lying back on her bed, her head propped up on a pillow, her injured ankle resting gently on a cushion. 

Ravi is sitting beside her, a little too close for comfort, yet not close enough to cross a line. His presence has become a constant comfort, the very act of being near her filling the space with warmth.
 
She looks up at him through half-lidded eyes, watching the way his features soften in the quiet. 

His expression is still, waiting, patiently, for her to speak. There’s a tenderness in the way he watches her, something so genuine that it almost melts her defenses, the walls she’s built around her heart.
 
Priya sighs softly, a sound barely above a whisper. She shifts on the bed, feeling a soft ache in her ankle from the earlier balm application, but the pain isn’t as sharp as before. It’s different now, dulled, more manageable. She can feel the soothing effect of his touch still lingering, and for the first time in a long while, her chest isn’t tight with anger. There’s just... a quiet peace.
 
“Ravi...” she speaks softly, her voice barely more than a murmur. He leans forward slightly, his full attention on her, like he's been waiting for these words for what feels like forever.
 
“Yes, Priya Didi?” He doesn’t move too much, his voice gentle, as if he’s afraid to break this fragile moment.
 
She swallows, her heart beating in a slow rhythm, the words difficult to form at first. The vulnerability in her chest, the softness that’s begun to bloom, makes her nervous, but she pushes through.
 
“I... I’ve been thinking,” she starts, her voice quieter than usual. “About everything... everything that happened. And...” She pauses, unsure of how to finish. It feels strange, talking about it, but the air between them has changed in such a subtle way, she knows she has to.
 
Ravi doesn’t interrupt, his gaze steady, his eyes fixed on her with a quiet understanding that makes her heart flutter.
