♪♫ Dhalti raat ka ek musafir,
Subah alvida keh chala,
Jeete jee tera ho saka na,
Mar ke haq adaa kar chala,
Na hamara hua,
Na tumhara hua,
Ishq ka ye sitam,
Na gawara hua...♪♫

It was the night when all her friends would come to her house for dinner and movies.
It has become a ritual now. On the second Saturday of every month, everyone goes out for dinner, and the fourth Saturday is spent at one of their houses with dinner and movies.
It was the only two days when everyone was spending time together under one roof and anyone rarely missed the occasion. On these two days, they catch up with each other's lives and spend time reminiscing about their old times.
Today, Sameera was early—like three hours early. She said Karan—who's now her Husband—would be here at the decided time.
Everything was done and they were now sitting in the living room waiting for everyone to arrive.
"What is that sound?" Sameera asked referring to the sounds that have been coming from the hallway of the building.
"Someone is moving into the apartment adjacent to mine." That's all the answer that Evara gave as she didn't know anything else either.
There were only two apartments on her floor. The other one was unoccupied for quite some time.
"Do you know who is moving in?"
"Nope."
"You should go and meet them once they are settled in. Who knows, maybe you'll find your prince charming." Sameera sighed dreamily.
"You, Miss. Hopeless romantic, hold your horses. I don't want any prince charming. I don't want anyone."
"But, you need someone in your life. Don't you think how nice it would be to have someone you could lean on?"
"I have you." Evara bumped her shoulder with Sameera's in a playful manner and Sameera rolled her eyes.
"Not me, idiot. Like a life partner."
"Who wants a life partner when I have best friends who can die for me?" she said with a smile.
"And what about companionship?"
Evara smiled while thinking something and sighed. "Maybe someday, but that day wouldn't be coming anytime soon."
They both fell silent for a few minutes, lost with their own thoughts. Evara could see something was bothering Sameera so she decided to ease her.
"What's going on in that pretty head of yours?" she asked.
"Why are you like this? How are you like this?" Sameera asked with a sigh.
"Like what?" Evara asked, confused.
"How can you smile like that after all that happened with you, Eva? Aren't you angry with the god? Don't you feel rage for everyone around you?" she asked, concern shining in her eyes.
