He is calm. You are loud. Raat sun rahi hai.

He waits. He watches. He counts your steps. You joke. You poke. You think it is light. The room keeps score. Bura mat mano. Learn.

Begin

Act One: You Start It

You press first. You call him small. He does not shout. He writes inside. Sun raha hai na, tu?

Act Two: He Plans

He learns your timing. He maps your pride. Every look. Every laugh. Sari baat yaad.

Act Three: Look In

Final Line

Say it clear. I was wrong. I am sorry. I will do better. Ab samjha?
