He woke up due to the sound of the knock that was coming from his door.

He stirred and sat upright while scratching his eye.

"Come in"

The door opened ajar and what he saw made his heart start racing. The room was a bit dimmed so he couldn't make out what or who was standing by the door.

"Who's there?"

He asked but got no reply.

Whoever it was Came in and headed towards him.

He turned on the bed side lamp which wasn't completely bright but could see who it was.

They were dressed in a clownish outfit and clown make up.

He was making all sorts of weird noise and was getting closer to Aman.

"Stay where you are" He ordered but wasn't obeyed.

The clown was close enough to his face and just then he removed the mask a laughing Fadal was revealed.

"Dude you look like you've removed everything in your stomach. And why the hell do you still scream like a fifteen year old girl" He said amidst his laughter .

"Attahir Fadal how many times do I have to tell you these things terrify the shit out of me? I'll kill you "

"You said that since we were sixteen and thirteen yet here we are"

"Trust me. The next time you do it you won't live "

"Whatever. Don't you have like a date by seven"

"Ughh. I completely forgot. What's the time?"

"Six forty five"

He sighed and cursed under his breath.

"Why don't you like going? Your job is like the easiest thing ever all you have to do is being present"

He climed off the bed and walked around the room.

"I don't know okay. I am just not ready for any relationships right now"

"Aman look, I am telling you this as a brother and a friend. Yes you will never find someone like sabreen-"

"Fadal don't-"

"Hear me out this ones. You have to move on. She's gone and you have to accept that. You're hurting yourself because of someone you'll never see again. "

"I have tried to move on Fadal. Like so many times. I don't think I'll ever let go of her memories "

"You can't let go of her memories,yes. But she told you herself to find someone after She's gone. You made a promise to her. You know at times I wonder why I wasn't the first child. I am literally doing a better job at it than you"

"Whatever"

"Now go and get ready or you'll be late again"

"I don't want to go" He whined leaving his brother his brother stunned.

"Aman unless you have a clone that will go on this date you don't have a choice "

"Well too bad the clone is dead. But I do have another option "

Fadal looked up from his phone and found him smiling.

"Why are you smiling like that?"

"Because you my brother is going on a date"

"Aman No"

"Come on Fadal just this ones"

"We did this on your third date and it did not go well"
