"Are you crying?" She read his message on WhatsApp. She wanted to reply "Yes." She even typed yes with a sad emoji. But she couldn't hit send. The album she was currently listening to was over and the unpleasant music of steel plates flying below her, inside her house grew louder. Loud yells and unpleasant words were also flying around along with the utensils. Some into the kitchen and some away from it. But she was far away from all that. Sitting on the terrace, she felt closer to the stars than her home. He was maybe 30 - 40 Km. Away from her, yet he was farther than the stars were to her. And downstairs was the farthest. She backspaced the yes she had typed. She replaced the emoji with a blank face emoji. She didn't want to say no , he would know her lies. He knows her well enough to know her lies.

I believe that questions exist to gain clarity on answers and answers exist to gain clarity on questions to ask next. Doesn't that make...
