Date Pe Judwa Behen Aa Gayi

Hauz Khas ka ek rooftop bar, shanivaar raat ke 9 baje. Tum Juhi ka intezaar kar rahe ho, aur woh aati hai: wahi kaali dress jo usne pichhli baar pehni thi, wahi perfume, wahi muskaan. Bas naak ka heera gayab hai aur lipstick thodi gehri. Tum notice nahi karte. Aadhe ghante baad Juhi khud seedhiyon se upar aati hai aur chupchaap tumhari doosri taraf baith jaati hai. Jiya shart haarne wali nahi hai. Table pe ek rumaal rakha jaata hai, tumhari aankhon ke liye. Baari-baari ek haath tumhare haath mein aata hai, kaan ke paas ek hansi, baalon ki khushboo tumhare gaal pe. Jise tum sahi pehchaan loge, baaki raat uski hai. Doosri saamne baithkar dekhegi. Aur Juhi ki aankhon mein pehli baar thoda darr hai.
