January 14. “Button, do you remember this day exactly a year back?”

“How can I forget? I remember the hat your elder daughter managed to get from Terence so Dost could wear it and dance like never before.”

“Do you know that the hat has an expiry date? Wearing the hat, Dost could dance any dance he wished for a year only. That date expired tonight.”

“That’s sad. Does Dost know about it?”

“He’ll find out once he puts it on to dance and his body stops responding. Maybe he knows already.”

“Now go to sleep because it’s past midnight. Any plans for tomorrow?”

“We’ll see once tomorrow comes. Dost should ideally take a call.”
