He was on time and saw his boss, Vickram.There he was told that he was one of the waiters but his job was going to be more than that of a waiter, so he was to dress distinctly. The rest of the waiters wore a simple waiters' uniform but with a waist coat, but Raj was given a special uniform by Vickram. He was taken in a new room by his boss and shown his uniform, which lay, hung neatly on a hanger in the wardrobe. That was a rather peculiar uniform and purposely so, because Vickram wanted his boy to be distinct from the other wait staff as he was someone more than a waiter, as we all know. The uniform was a simple white tuxedo, rest remaining the same. Vickram briefed all his friends, who were of course bisexual, about that. It was actually a gay party and had no girls. So, it was 8 p.m., & the first few guests had started arriving. Vickram, being the great host as he was graciously welcomed them in and summoned the other waiters for drinks and snacks. As the night grew, more and more guys started coming and they all had come in by 8.30 p.m. Raj had no idea as to what he was in for but he would soon come to know. As Vickram felt that all the guests had come in, & the mood of the party was set, he came on the stage and made an announcement for the activity of the evening. He said that all (including the waiters) would be involved in the game that he would be announcing. The game was as follows: All of them would be in a circle i.e. the guests, and the waiters would go on doing their duties as usual but would have, on their coats/waist coats a number pinned up. Their would be a bowl in which all the numbers would be written on pieces of paper, and when drawn, the person who would be selected would have to do what the person who has drawn the number wanted him to. The task could be anything under the sky, of course other than killing someone. The number that Raj got was "unlucky 13" and sadly there was a pun in the game, and that was if anyone got the number "13" he would have to do whatever 2 people said and not only the one taking out the chit. This was all pre-planned by Vickram so that they all could really have the best time of their lives, especially all because of Raj. The game started, the first few rounds were completed and equal number of waiters and gusts, co-incidentally, had their chance of performing the task they were assigned by the person taking out the chit and then came the chance of Raj "number 13", after a rather long time and towards the end of the party, & the one who took out the chit was no one else except Vickram. Their came the evil grin on his face as he could see Raj's face growing into that of a meek sheep confronted by a lion. So as planned by Vickram, he had now got a chance to entertain his friends having Raj as the main source. Vickram summoned Raj and he came leaving his tray behind, as he had been serving something. Raj looked white with nervousness when he came, as he did not know what would happen next to him. Vickram told him that his name had been out from the draw & he had to do whatever Vickram told him to. He, as always, said, "Yes Sir". Vickram told him that everyone in a coat (except him) would stand in a line and he would go to him and would have to ask him in the most servile manner as to how could he serve them and then had to do whatever they told him to. As he announced that, there was a loud roar of naughty laughter in the crowd, especially from those who were in coat, i.e. all the guests, but no waiters. As they all were bisexual, they were in for a wonderful party.
