Raat ke 12:21 AM ho rahe the.
Advika apne bed par leti ceiling ko dekh rahi thi. Neend usse koson door thi.
Uske dimaag mein baar-baar kal raat ka scene aa raha tha—
Veer. Noodles. Aur woh strange si smile.
“Ugh… main uske baare mein kyun soch rahi hoon?” Advika ne pillow se apna face chhupa liya.
Kuch seconds baad uska stomach growl karne laga.
“Fine! Mujhe bhook lagi hai.”
Advika quietly room se nikli aur kitchen ki taraf chal di.
Lekin jaise hi usne kitchen ka door khola—
LIGHTS ON.
Advika ruk gayi.
Kitchen counter ke paas Veer khada tha.
Haath mein noodles ka packet.
Dono ek-doosre ko dekhne lage.
“Tum?” Advika ne surprised hokar poocha.
Veer ne casually packet uthaya.
“Main?”
“Haan, tum!”
Veer smiled.
“Bhook lagi thi.”
Advika ne arms fold kar liye.
“Mujhe bhi.”
“Really?”
“Obviously.”
Veer ne teasing smile di.
“Coincidence?”
Advika ne turant jawab diya, “Exactly. Pure coincidence.”
Veer nodded seriously.
“Of course.”
Dono kuch seconds tak ek-doosre ko dekhte rahe.
Phir Veer kitchen counter ki taraf mud gaya.
“Waise… tum kal bhi noodles khane aayi thi.”
Advika ne kaha, “Aur tum bhi.”
“Hmm.”
“Matlab tum mera peecha kar rahe ho?”
Veer hans pada.
“Advika, agar main tumhara peecha karta, toh main tumhare favourite chocolate ka packet bhi laata.”
Advika ki eyes chocolate packet par chali gayi.
“Tumhe kaise pata meri favourite hai?”
Veer paused.
“Bas… pata hai.”
Advika ke cheeks halka sa pink ho gaye.
“Tum mujhe notice karte ho?”
Veer ne uski taraf dekha.
“Shayad.”
“Shayad?”
“Kaafi zyada.”
Advika ne nazrein jhuka li.
Veer ne noodles banana start kiya.
Is baar dono ne milkar noodles banaye.
Advika vegetables cut kar rahi thi, while Veer pan mein noodles stir kar raha tha.
“Tumhe pata hai,” Veer suddenly bola, “ye hamari second midnight meeting hai.”
Advika smiled.
“Meeting?”
“Haan.”
“Ye meeting nahi hai.”
“Then what is it?”
Advika thought for a moment.
“Midnight snack.”
Veer laughed.
“Right. Midnight snack.”
Dono bowls lekar table par baith gaye.
Kuch der tak silence raha.
Lekin woh silence awkward nahi tha.
It felt… comfortable.
Veer ne apne bowl se ek noodle uthaya aur Advika ki taraf dekha.
“Kal wali noodles better thi.”
Advika frowned.
“Excuse me?”
“Kal tumne banayi thi. Taste better tha.”
Advika smiled proudly.
“Toh maan liya na ki main achhi cook hoon?”
Veer leaned slightly closer.
“Cook toh achhi ho…”
Advika waited.
“…lekin company aur bhi achhi hai.”
Advika ne spoon table par rakh diya.
“Veer!”
Veer laughed.
“Okay, okay. Sorry.”
Advika bhi smile karne lagi.
Us raat dono ne phir ek simple bowl of noodles share kiya.
Dono baar-baar khud ko samjhate rahe—
“Ye sirf coincidence hai.”
Lekin kahin na kahin dono jaante the…
Kal raat ka midnight snack ek coincidence tha.
Aaj raat ka milna… shayad nahi. ❤️🌙
