The Quiet Flow of Time (Tuesday Morning, A Moment Before Words)
Monday had passed as gently as a breeze, unnoticed, untouched, slipping quietly between the folds of time.
The day unfolded with an almost poetic grace, each hour carrying its own weight, but without fanfare. It was the kind of day that had nothing to leave behind except the soft hum of normalcy.
In the afternoon, Ravi found himself at his desk, working in familiar silence, the room bathed in the golden glow of the late-day sun.
He had no desire to face the emotional depths of the weekend’s tension, no urgent need to revisit the words that had almost been spoken.
The space between him and Priya Didi remained, unspoken but there, its presence marking the air they breathed. Yet nothing more happened. Nothing shifted. And perhaps that was enough for now.
The evening came without disturbance. Amit had returned from work with his usual chatter, filling the apartment with his light-hearted energy.
Ravi and Priya Didi had maintained their careful distance, yet there was a certain comfort in the way they moved around each other.
No confrontation, no finality. Just the quiet understanding that whatever had been left unspoken would wait for another day. And now, Tuesday had arrived.
The morning light filtered softly through the blinds, casting slender stripes across the wooden floors. It was quiet, almost too quiet for the city that lay outside. Ravi woke slowly, stretching into the warmth of his bed.
The light outside was pale and soft, still too early for the sun to burn hot, yet bright enough to mark the beginning of another day.
He glanced at the clock, noting the time, almost 7:00 AM. A glance out of the window revealed the stillness of the world, the street outside barely stirring, the vendors only beginning to set up their stalls, the hum of the city still a distant promise.
He lingered for a moment longer in the bed, half-conscious, still tethered to the quiet of the apartment. His mind drifted, but his thoughts kept returning, almost unbidden, to Priya Didi.
Even after everything, there was something about her, about the way she existed in the world, her presence, that demanded attention.
