Adultery Priya Didi

The familiar ritual of unpacking and arranging the food should have offered comfort, but instead, it only served as a reminder of how much her world had shifted.
 
Whatever had happened with Ravi changed everything in her mind. She had never felt this sense of guilt before. She had always been a simple, loyal person, never even considering the idea of betraying her husband.
 
But just moments ago, while her husband was in the shower, everything changed. It wasn’t just a kiss, it was a moment that felt impossibly intimate, a hug that melted her heart. She had openly reciprocated, something she had never allowed herself to do with anyone else.
 
That closeness... it was the first time in her life she had ever let someone come this near to her heart other than Amit. It terrified her. She was overwhelmed with a storm of thoughts, confusion clouding her mind.
 
Her husband’s warm smile, his trust, his love, they all seemed distant now, overshadowed by the powerful pull of what had just happened. She tried to focus on the simple act of setting the food on the table, but her hands trembled slightly.
 
How had it come to this? Was it a momentary lapse, a craving for something new, something exciting? Or had she unknowingly been searching for something missing, only to find it in the arms of someone who shouldn’t have been there?
 
The guilt gnawed at her, but there was something else, too, something dangerous. The faintest spark of desire, mingling with regret. She didn't want to admit it, but she could feel it.
 
The world around her seemed to move in slow motion as she carefully placed the dishes on the table. Would she ever be able to look at her husband the same way again?
 
The rustle of containers and the quiet clatter of plates felt like a strange kind of normalcy, a shallow mask over the tension that gripped her insides. "I’m acting like nothing happened. But it did. Oh God, it did."
 
At that moment, Ravi emerged from his room, now dressed in night clothes. His casual appearance only added to the weight of everything Priya was feeling. He moved with a kind of quiet tension, an acknowledgment of what had passed between them earlier.
