Adultery Little sis Anjali and her friends

[prasannas2001]

 
It was moment of emotion rather than a declaration.
 
Neither of them spoke immediately.
 
They simply sat there, aware of what had happened.
 
Aware that something innocent had become something complicated.
 
Mamta looked down.
 
“I shouldn't have let that happen.”
 
Rohan's expression softened.
 
“Maybe.”
 
She looked at him.
 
“Maybe?”
 
He nodded.
 
“Maybe because life is not always as simple as right and wrong.”
 
She looked away.
 
Because she knew he was right.
 
And that was exactly what frightened her.
 
The room felt different now.
 
The same sofa.
 
The same walls.
 
The same evening.
 
But something invisible had changed.
 
The line had not been crossed because of the kiss.
 
The line had been crossed much earlier.
 
In the conversations.
 
In the moments of understanding.
 
In the quiet feeling of being seen.
 
And now they both knew it.
 
There was no pretending anymore.
 
The world had tilted on its axis.
 
There was no going back.
 
They both knew it very well.
