Lucknow ke ek shandaar hotel ke suite ka mahol kaafi dilchasp tha. Chhatt se latakte chandeliers aur palang par bikhri gulaab ki pankhudiyaan is raat ko ek khaas roop de rahi thi. Arjun, jo ek successful businessman tha, apni busy life ke shor se door ek shaam sirf apne liye bitana chahta tha. Usne ek reputed escort service se contact kiya tha, aur ab uska intezaar khatam hone waala tha.

Darwaze par halki dastak hui. Arjun ne apni saans sambhalte hue darwaza khola. Uske samne ek khoobsurat ladki khadi thi, jo Lucknow ki tehzeeb aur adaaon ka jeeta-jaagta misaal lag rahi thi. Usne apne aap ko Muskaan bataya, aur ek halki muskaan ke saath andar aa gayi. Uski aankhon mein ek alag si chamak thi, jo Arjun ke dil ko turant jeet gayi.

"Shayad aap thoda nervous lag rahe hain," Muskaan ne kaha, ek sharmai si muskaan ke saath.

Arjun hansi chhupate hue bola, "Haan, shayad thoda sa. Main itni khoobsurat aur elegant company ka aadat nahi hoon."

Muskaan ne apne dupatte ko sambhalte hue palang ke paas baithte hue kaha, "Aaj ki raat sirf aap ke liye hai. Relax kijiye, aur is moment ko mehsoos kijiye."

Arjun uske baithne ke andaaz aur uske shabdon ki mithaas se bahut prabhavit hua. Usne ek glass wine ka offer kiya, aur dono ke beech dheere-dheere baatein shuru hui.

Muskaan ki baatein sirf mehsoos karne waali nahi thi, balki unmein ek gehri samajh thi. Woh ek waqt ke liye sirf ek companion nahi thi, balki ek achi listener bhi thi. Arjun kaafi time baad itna relaxed mehsoos kar raha tha.

Jab raat thodi aur gehri hui, dono ke beech ki dooriyan dheere-dheere kam hone lagi. Muskaan ke haathon ka halka sparsh aur uske adaaon ki naramiyat Arjun ko ek alag hi duniya mein le jaa rahi thi.

"Main chahta hoon ki yeh raat yaadgaar bane," Arjun ne dheere se kaha.

Muskaan ne uske kareeb aate hue kaha, "Yeh raat aapki hai, aur main yeh samay aapke liye hi laayi hoon." Uske shabdon mein sirf ek professional andaaz nahi tha, balki ek emotional connection bhi mehsoos ho raha tha. Dono ne ek-doosre ke saath wo lamhae jeeye, jo sirf sukoon aur pyar ka ehsaas de sakte the. Lucknow ki woh raat sirf ek mulaqat nahi thi, balki ek yaad thi jo hamesha ke liye Arjun ke dil mein bas gayi thi.
