Prologue

On a rather chilly night at the end of January, around 12:00 a.m., Flight Lieutenant Samrat Singh Shekhawat is scrolling his smartphone looking at the upcoming schedules of him and his fellow officers. Suddenly someone snatches his phone. He's been alone at his table for a long stretch of time and didn't notice anyone coming in.

Now Farhan sits across from him flashing his phone.

"Kya yaar, Samrat! Is waqt kaam? Why are you still working? Our shifts ended long ago. Kitna kaam karega?"

"Farhan! Kaam to karna padega yaar

"Farhan! Kaam to karna padega yaar." Samrat flashes a small smile at his friend and colleague. "As I am the team leader I have to work twice as hard."

Farhan lets out a sigh at the end of Samrat's words.

"Samrat, tu na! Tu din-ba-din, har roz Abhimanyu Adhikari banta jaa raha hai! You are turning like Abhi. Yeh sehat ke liye bahut hanikarak hai! Injurious to health, you know?"

Samrat guffaws at the weirdly comical phrasing. Farhan goes on to elaborate, unfettered as usual. The uniformed men are alone in the cafeteria if one ignores oldman Ramu who manages the place all by himself. Ambient night lights light up the spacious place but it's not the time to lounge for officers on duty.

"You know Abhi has Sam right?" Farhan's voice reaches a fever pitch as he asserts, "Aisa nahin hai ki he is always Abhimanyu Adhikari. He is enjoying his off time! I am sure he must be having some cute romantic moments with Sameera! Lucky guy!"

Samrat shakes his head exasperatedly though a soft chuckle escapes his lips. "Why jealous? You have Isha, don't you, Farhan?"

"Huh, kaun Isha? Meri humsafar? My destined, beloved? Bhai, our schedules never match. She's somewhere else. Maybe we won't even meet during Valentine's Day!"

"Hmmm..."
