Hey Clive ..... Get up broski" Alan whispered quietly in Clive's ear.
"It's 5 p.m already. You have been asleep since lunch. The meeting is cancelled let's leave. We have to get ready." Alan continued
Clive, finally opened his eyes and sat up straight. It was all a facade of thoughts running through his mind like a film scroll...
"What's the gift we are giving him?" Clive asked immediately
Rafiq pulled out a black briefcase and placed it on the table.
Clive's eyes widened out of shock " NAH NAH, NO FREAKING WAY. UH UH" He screamed
"Calm down Clive, what's wrong " Rafiq asked
"WE AREN'T GIFTING HIM A FUCKING GUN. PUT THAT SHIT BACK DOWN." Clive kept screaming
"Gun? Who said anything about a gun?" Alan said feeling a bit startled
Rafiq pulled out a box out of the brief case, and pressed a button on it. The box then unfolded itself so delicately, showcasing the beautiful craftsmanship behind it. And out came a watch, pitch black yet sparkling like a diamond. It felt like witnessing a marvel that many people only dreamed of wearing on their wrist
"Is it the... The limited edition one?" Clive asked
"Raj works so damn hard, of course he needs something special. We all know he always kept yapping about watches. There couldn't be a better gift for sure, am I not right Alan?" Rafiq said smiling
"Atleast now I do believe you have a brain in that big fat skull of yours." Alan said laughing
"There are no guns right?" Clive asked again timidly, as if his life was at stake
" Do you want one? I can arrange it for you?" Rafiq said with a smirk
"Can you please not joke, It's just that I had a terrible nightmare..." Clive sighed
"You know what is more terrible?" Alan interrupted " Being the organisers and yet being late for our very own hosted event. It's 6 p.m now. I have already called Raj."

"He uhm.... He lifted the call?" Clive asked

"You do know he has a phone with him right? And the party isn't a surprise anymore I myself had texted him in the afternoon. He seemed quite thrilled about it " Rafiq replied

"We will meet at his house at 7:30." Alan added

"Can we do it at a neutral place, not at someone's house ?" Clive asked again...

" And can you not ask so many questions? What's wrong buddy, we were counting on you to get this party started. Relax, it was just a dream." Alan assured him, patting his back.

"I don't know about you guys, but I have to look decent for this party, I am leaving now." Rafiq said getting up with his bag and the present.

"Yea right, let's go come on." Alan added
Clive on the other hand yet not totally satisfied, left for his house too.
[ 7:30 p.m , 13 February, At Raj's house]

All three of them were standing at the door, waiting for Raj to finally get ready for the fabulous night they had planned for him.
"Hey, Raj I thought you took deadlines seriously?" Alan asked jokingly
"Sorry guys" Raj said as he opened his room door to step into the hall.
" How do I look?" He asked smiling in his all black suit
"Well, you look just amazing." Alan said hugging Raj
"Shall we Mr. Handsome?" Rafiq asked opening the gate. Clive who just smiled looking at Raj, was still battling his thoughts, but tried his best to push aside those thoughts.

As they all stepped out, only a single car was parked near the driveway. The same car Clive had in his dream.
He paused there upon seeing the car. Refusing to take even a single step ahead.
"No.... This can't be true." Clive gasped
