In case you missed the first part, don't ruin your experience and check that out first: A strange incident (part I)

...........

 I just looked at her and she was smiling while looking at me. I freaked out badly. I felt as if someone was behind me. I was so scared that I didn't want to look behind. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. 

"Excuse me", I heard this voice from behind. 

I turned my head towards that person. He was a tall guy, wearing big glasses, and had no hairs on his head. He looked strange. As if I've known him before. Again, he looked familiar just like the girl and that waiter.

"Yes ?", I replied. He then came forward and said, "You forgot your wristwatch that day. I just saw you right now and that reminded me of it."

"Oh, you have visited this place before also. So, this is how you guessed the next song that time", the girl interrupted.

I was shocked because I have never been there before. I took that watch from him with my hands shaking. I couldn't believe it. It was the same watch that my grandfather used to wear which I kept safe with me after his death as a token of his memory. 

"How did you get this watch?", I asked him.

"Sir, I told you. You forgot it", he replied. 

"You're lying", I said.

"Why would I lie? I clearly saw you that day wearing this watch when you entered this place. And when you left, it was right there on your table. ", he told.

"I can't forget it, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE!", I exclaimed in fear.

"How could it be possible? I clearly saw you here last Friday", he replied and then said to the girl, "Ma'am, even you were there with him. Did you too forget? "

"Sir, maybe you're having some issues right now. Because I'm also visiting this place for the first time", she said to him. "I guess, we should leave", she added.

"Yes, even I'm not feeling right at this place", I said.

And then I put that wristwatch in my pocket and we headed towards the exit. The music was again sounding strange to me and that waiter who bought the coffee was standing in a corner looking at me with a shady look. I was very terrified and wanted to get out of that place really fast.

After walking out of that place, I felt relieved. It felt as if I have escaped a labyrinth after hours of being stuck inside it. I was confused and frightened.

"I'm sorry. All this has happened because of me", she said while we were walking down the street.

"No, it's not your fault. I don't know why but strange things are happening to me since yesterday", I told her.

"I guess you're tired. You need to relax", she replied. 

"Maybe, I don't know", I said.

"I know a nightclub nearby. Let's just spend the evening there. We can dance and have a lot of fun", she told.

"I don't dance", I said.

"Oh, c'mon! You'll have so much fun there", she replied. 

"Ugh..", I murmured, and she added, "Not a single word anymore! We are just going there right now".

After a five-minute walk, we reached that place. We entered it. It was dark with disco lights flashing just like any other club. The music was very loud and a lot of people were dancing. Though it was smoky and dark I didn't felt any strange feeling, like I felt at the Cafe.

"Let's have some drinks first", she shouted in my ear in the loud music.

"I don't drink", I replied in a loud voice. 

"You don't dance. You don't drink. Then what do you do?", she said in an annoyed tone and then grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the bar along with her.

"Two vodka shots please!", she told the bartender. 

"No, I told you. I won't drink", I said to her. But the music was too loud so she misheard. 

"Oh, so you also want", she replied and then told the bartender, "Make four shots!".

The bartender passed four shot glasses towards her and then she passed two to me.

"Take them at once", she told me and then took her two shots in a blink of an eye.

"You're still looking at these glasses. Just pick them up and drink ", she said and made me drink them.

"Yuck! How can someone drink this thing! ", I exclaimed.

"Start coming to this place often and you'll soon be enjoying them", she replied with laughter. 

"Now let's just hit the dance floor", she said and then grabbed my hand again and took me into the crowd of dancing people. Then we danced like crazy people with all the energy we had. We danced like that for hours until we were tired. We were so tired that we struggled to get out of that crowd. Somehow, we managed to make our way and fell on a couch in the lounge area. We fell on the couch like dead people. After, being there like that for some time, we felt fine.

"Well, it was fun", I told her.

"I already told you", she replied. 

"I guess, I enjoyed your company", I said in a soft tone.

She smiled looking into my eyes. I smiled back. We moved closer towards each other staring into each other's eyes. I felt an attraction as strong as a magnet. We came more close. Soon, my lips touched hers and we kissed. I closed my eyes. I deeply felt her soft warmth against me. My veins were throbbing and my heart exploded. I never wanted anyone like this before. I felt the whole world upside down as if it was heaven. 

Suddenly, the darkness in front of my closed eyes started to fade away. It was getting brighter and brighter. My breath became heavier and I felt that strange feeling again. I was shivering. I couldn't open my eyes and it was all bright in front of me. My heart was pounding. I was badly terrified. I felt as if I was lost in a mysterious world forever and for years. And then my eyes opened. 

"Damn! It was a dream", I exclaimed in terror. I was on my bed in my bedroom. It looked at the wall clock and it was 8:30 in the morning. My hands were still shaking and I was sweating. I got out of the bed and went to the bathroom and splashed some water on my face. I checked my phone and there were no chats. I checked my email and there were no emails as well. I felt relieved. I finally realized that it was a terrifying dream. Then I went to the kitchen, filled a glass of water, and went to the balcony. A very beautiful cold breeze was blowing. With the glass of water in my hand, I was still wondering about that dream. It was so real that I couldn't believe it. Usually, I forget my dreams as soon as I wake up, but it was strange that I remembered each and every detail of what I saw as if everything happened in reality. Soon, something struck into my mind and I rushed towards my room. I kept that glass of water on my desk and opened my cupboard. I opened the secret chamber in my cupboard, took out a golden cubical box, and opened it. After opening the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was again paralyzed in terror. My legs were shaking and my hands couldn't hold that box anymore. It was the box where I keep my grandfather's precious wristwatch and I didn't open it for months. And what shocked me was that the watch was not inside it. And then I had only one thing in my head, "Maybe that was not a dream"...
