"I don't know what to do deepu...." cried madhushree as deepali stroked her back.
"Oh God.......I never thought that Mr. Python would be that psychopath!!!" she whispered as madhushree cried on her shoulder.
"Although I loved him, but he's made you cry and for that I will always hate him......" said deepali wiping her tears. Meantime Mohan strode inside the room.
"Madhu, I am arranging tickets for manali.......I don't know how long will it take but I promise I will have them arranged soon!!!! And than you can finally escape that monster called python....." Mohan said. Madhushree sniffed before looking at him.
"Do you think it will help......" she asked with her teary eyes. Mohan sighed in pity.
"I honestly don't know dear but I know one thing, that I will do anything to protect you from that bastard......" he promised and she nodded with tears.
"You are a bitch......" malini yelled as she came on her wheelchair, face flushed with anger. Madhushree gasped.
"Mind your tongue malini......" Mohan hissed at her angrily. But she was listening to none today.
"You bitch......you stole my python!!!! Shameless girl, huh!!!! Didn't you feel ashamed of yourself when you stole your sister's husband.....or perhaps slept with him......" malini was red but her cheeks were now going to be double red for deepali had just thwacked on her cheek. Malini shrieked at the stinging pain on her cheek while rubbing it at the same time in order to soothe the pain.
"SHUT UP, NOT EVEN A SINGLE WORD MORE........If there's any bitch in this room than it's you!!!! I can abide anything but if you try to judge her character, I swear I will murder you!!!! Although I do not support python but I know one thing that a man like him will never fall for a disgraceful woman like you........madhushree didn't invite him, he fell for her by his own!!!! And you know why, because madhu is more beautiful than you and obviously python was drawn to go barking mad over a beauty like her......." deepali stated angrily, glaring at the fuming malini.
"You......."
"Stop it right there malini or else python will pay you a good visit....." Mohan threatened her and madhushree looked at her brother in shock. Malini gaped at him aghast as she dragged the wheels of the chair and left the room.
"Brother......." madhushree was still gaping at him.
"At least his name is beneficial for us to scare the rats away......." Mohan chuckled and so did deepali but madhushree was glaring at the two chuckling heads.

Inside the python bungalow everything was approaching normalcy, that's what the staff reckon but not Raghu the Pandit. Because believe him, nothing can be fine until python gets over that beautiful curse. Anyways, inside the chamber of python was python, of course, Raghu and our beloved Rudrakshi, the arsenal hoster. And there was this girl called Anita who python has assigned as his wife's personal helper.
"I think madhu will like this one more......" python said while carefully examining a diamond necklace with amber beaded borders. Rudrakshi watched the smile on his lips as he went on scrutinising the piece of jewellery, her lips curled up just a little on watching her best friend smile gracefully.
"Pandit, have you gone dumb.......just tell me, she will like it!!! Right...." python asked still fixed on the necklace. Raghu wanted to pull out his hairs.
"Mujhe kya pta......mai ladki thodi hu!!! Aur vaise bhi, meri yaha sunta hi kaun hai......." he muttered like an agitated mother-in-law which made python frown upon him.
"Whatever, Rudra how is it....." python's eyes twinkled when he spoke up and it was only rudrakshi who could trace that concealed innocence in those otherwise sombre orbs.
"This is gorgeous......." she stated with a smile. Python grinned.
"Will she like it???" he asked with uncertainty to which rudrakshi chuckled.
"Pasand nhi bhot zyada pasand karegi.......aur dekhna tujhe apna dil bhi de degi......" said she and python was now over the moon. He could only dream of that moment when she will finally accept him and his love. Meantime Mary came running inside the chamber.
"Sir......." she panted. Python and Co looked at her perplexed.
"Is everything ok Mary........" python asked with his one brow raised up. Mary gasped for air before starting.
"Sir, your brother-in-law is trying to arrange tickets for manali.......a man from your tech department has shared the news with me right now.....  " she was still panting. Python was crossed as he tossed the necklace on his bed, although with care as he didn't wanted any harm to come upon his madhu's belongings.
"Itni baar samjhaya lekin nahi.........mujhe samajh nhi aata ki log baar baar vohi galtiyan kyu dohraate hai......" python was irated and his voice confirmed that. Rudrakshi gestured Mary and Anita to leave, they nodded and left.
"Python please.......for once try to understand their situation!!! An influential man is behind his sister and as a brother he will do anything to protect her.......I don't see anything wrong in that!!!!" Raghu said. Python rested his hand on the wall, near the narrow space between the juxtaposing pictures of his obsession.
"He's not hurting them or her....." rudrakshi said to raghu.
"But Thakur Sahab, for them it is a reason to bother!!!! Madhushree isn't interested in him and he keeps on forcing himself upon her, needless to mention the threats he gives in his daunting vernacular. Just......look it from their perspective, they are going through a worst phase of their lives........." Raghu tried to fix things in her mind but her love for her best friend was so immense that she couldn't agree with him even though she wanted to.
"Listen......"
"Kaash vo samajhte ki ye dil bhi toot ta hai, rota hai ek tarfa ishq ke dard mei.........kaash vo samjhte ki ye kahaani ek ziddi deewane ki nhi balki ek toote dil ki hai......ki ye dastaan pyaar mei haare ek dil ki hai......." his voice was low but raspy, hinting towards his despaired heart. At this point raghu felt bad for him, his heart clenched for the man who was a victim of his ruthless destiny. Rudrakshi was silent as she didn't wanted to sadden her best friend more.
"Mohan ke haath tickets nhi lagne chahiye........meri madhu meri ijazat ke bina sheher to kya, ghar se bhi bahar nhi nikal sakti......" python stated firmly to which Raghu nodded acquiescently.

In the evening, madhushree and deepali strolled towards the Cookies and cream cafe. Madhushree was really upset about the drama happening in her life. And deepali wanted to cheer her up and hence she dragged her to the cafe.
"Madhu please don't make that face.....c'mon cheer up!!!! Look in few days you will leave for manali, and I don't know when I will see you again!!!! So please, the time we have, let's enjoy it!!!" deepali was kind of sad with the thought of her leaving Delhi.
"No way deepu, I'll tag you along with me!!!! You are coming with me to manali......" madhushree said and deepali chuckled.
"OK fine, we'll talk about this later......but until then, let's have some burgers in the cafe....." deepali said with alacrity to which madhushree chuckled. They both then went inside the cafe. However once the door was opened, the girls gasped.
"What the hell is this!!!!" cried deepali as she looked around the surroundings which looked something like this, the walls were festooned with balloons and flowers, the tables were bedecked with frills and balloons but that wasn't the true cause of horror, the real reason was something which was on the front wall. 'Welcome madhu' was written on coloured papers and then glued to the wall and flowers were surrounding the welcome sign.
"Oh God......" madhushree gasped as she looked around aghast.
"Don't get scared madhu.......c'mon let's leave this place!!!" deepali said fraught as she tried to leave with her best friend. But........
"Welcome my love....." it was more than certain that this voice was dauntingly familiar and it was actually coming from right behind them. They both gasped before swinging around and coming face to face with a handsome nightmare. He stood there, apparelled in a tight fitted graphite suit, thick hairs neatly combed, shoes polished enough to function as a mirror and than his enigmatic smile. Deepali was endeavouring hard to not drool over this handsome rascal.
"Mr. Python......." deepali was cursing herself for acting so formally with her best friend's psycho lover. But, it's fine, after all he wasn't paying heed to her. On the other hand, madhushree was aghast at this single look of him. And although he looked in a chilled out mood presently yet his mood doesn't needs more than a second to embrace maniacness.
"Deepu let's go......." madhushree whispered fraught as she tried to run for the door but found it locked. Python let out an exhausted sigh.
"Zaroori hai kya jaan baar baar tumhara mujhse door bhagna aur har baar mera tumhe zabardasti apne paas le aana......hm!!! Zaroori hai kya....." he was seriously tired of all this.
"Madhu tell this guy to zip it, unless he wants me to dig my 550 bucks heels into his head......" deepali's face was flushed with anger which made madhushree apprehensive. Python sighed deeply.
"Deepali, apne jiju se aise baat nhi karte.....hm......aakhir joote to mere tumhi churaogi, hai na......" python said with a smile, a genuine smile which she felt was a counterfeit.
"Jiju my foot........you are nothing to me and trust me, if you try to bother my bestie, I will hit you in the nuts....." deepali said with a smirk as python watched her in shock and madhushree was clueless about what she was talking about. Python looked down at his groin area and than up at her.
"Ye to mera khandaan aage hi nhi badhne degi......." he whispered to himself in shock.
"Deepu please let's leave....." madhushree insisted but deepali was obstinate.
"No madhu, he will go from here......not us......" deepali was confident to which python stared at her blankly.
"Indeed.........Raghu......" he yelled with a frown and raghu came rushing inside.
"Mam please.......your seat is upstairs......" said raghu as the woman behind her started dragging deepali upstairs.
"What the hell........" deepali yelled glaring at python who was waving her bye.
"No please......leave her......." madhushree gasped as she tried to go behind the dragging deepali but Mr. Python stood in the middle as a barrier.
"Tum kaha chali jaan.......humne ye saara intezaam tumhare liye to karwaya hai......." his smile was intact but that horrified madhushree.
"Please no......." she stuttered as her feet receded back. Python stopped in his tracks.
"Don't be scared madhu.......I am man who is crazy in love but not a man with a hideous character........" he stated. Madhushree sniffled softly.
"Please leave me......" she sniffled as he was gazing at her face, taking a note of every single detail of her face. He chuckled as he stepped back, she was perplexed at that. Following that he stretched his arms while she was staring at him in perplexity.
"Madhu.......Madhu........Madhu.......O madhu.........aakhir kyu tumne mujhe itna deewana bnaya......" he laughed, a demented laughter it was, which horrified poor madhushree who was alone in the hired den of this monster. She softly cried.
"Let me go please......" she whispered and his laughter was abruptly quelled. He looked at her with his dark eyes, scaring her to the core.
"Kyu........tumhe mere saath acha nhi lagta........" she didn't fail to notice the brisking jealousy and anger in his voice. She softly shook her head but this infuriated him more.
"Than whose company do you enjoy more dear........hm, even I wanna know who is that who can keep you more happier than me......" he hissed through his gritted teeth and poor madhushree cried more.
"My family........my friend........." she stuttered with fear. She anticipated a more frightening response from him but rather than his usual maniac methods, he began to laugh loudly. So loudly that for a moment he looked like an escaped mental asylum patient. Madhushree watched his demented laughter in partial perplexity and partial terror.
"Acha aisi baat hai to ek kaam karte hai......" he stopped laughing and came towards her.
"Mai na tumhari puri family ko maar deta hu aur deepali ko bhi.......phir tumhare paas mere alawa koi aur bachega hi nhi......phir tumhe mere saath hi rehna pdega, humesha ke liye....." there was something extremely sinister when he articulate this horrific statement with much ease and comfort. But for madhushree it was something to be frightened of.
"Please don't.......please don't hurt my family........" she begged with tears and python grabbed her wrist.
"Koi aur option chhoda hi kaha hai tumne mere liye........jab dekho bas family, dost bas.......mai to dikhta hi nhi hu tumhe.........aur mujhse ye bardasht nhi hota jaan!!!!!! Nhi dekh sakta mai tumhe kisi aur ke saath haste hue.......tumhari hasi par sirf mera haqq hai......." he yelled and she cried while trying to free her wrist.
"Somebody help......please......" she cried for help.
"Exactly, somebody help......my baby isn't ready to love me........" he said while pulling her to his chest by her waist. She hit his rock hard chest with her tiny fists but to no avail.
"Leave me........" she sobbed as he kissed the corner of her lips tenderly.
"Madhu.........tum mujhse pyaar karogi na.........meri banogi na!!!!!" he asked in a low voice, resting his forehead against hers. She shook her head with tears.
"No never........I will never love you.......you are a monster......" she yelled at him angrily with tears. His eyes darkened as his grip on her waist tightened more making her squirm.
"Palko pe baithaya hai tumhe, apne sir ka taaj banaya hai........lekin zyada waqt nhi lagega mujhe tumhe uthakar apne bistar par rakhne mei......isliye pyaar se maan jao......hm......mazboor mat Karo mere andar ke rakshas ko bahar aane ke liye......" his threatening voice was back but madhushree was not going to fear him, at least for the moment.
"No.........I will never love you.......You're lying, you don't even love me........you are just one of those guys who want a woman for their pleasure......." she yelled at him. Suddenly the atmosphere became tensed and fear rushed through her veins, she felt her yellings were ill timed for the man's eyes were embracing the deadliest red. He released her and she looked at him shocked, he never does that after all. He took his coat off and tossed it carelessly on the chair and than began to roll up his sleeve. Madhushree was dumbfounded at him but was aghast when he did this. He grabbed a champagne bottle and smashed it against the jagged edge of the table. She shrieked as the splinters of the glass bestrewn the floor along with the champagne spilt on the floor.
"Mere pyaar ka saboot chahiya tha na......ye lo......" he whispered as he brought the spiky tip of the half smashed bottle, and started piercing it into his skin, drawing out quite a bit of blood.
"What are you doing......" she yelled at him to stop but he was a psychopath, and since when psycho people began listening to normal folks. He was writing something, not something but the initials of her name 'madhu' which made her sob more.
"Please stop......" she was terrorised to the core. He stopped eventually, but when the artwork was over. Weird fellow didn't felt even a tinsy bit of pain, bizzare eunuch.
"Ab to nhi karogi na mere pyaar pe shaq........" he asked with his obsessive eyes while approaching her. She shrieked as her feet receded back while sobbing dreadfully.
"You're crazy......." she whispered crying, afraid of him. His bloodshot eyes stared at her while his lips curled up into a smile.
"Hu mai pagal, par sirf tumhare pyaar mei........beyhadd hai mera ishq aur humseha beyhadd hi rahega......" he said obsessively scaring poor madhushree. She cried while trying to make for a run but in time he had her in his cage of arms.
"Please no.......You're crazy, I.......I.....don't love you........let me go please......." she pleaded with tears while banging her fists on his chest. He kissed her cheeks harshly before starting.
"Pagal log bhot khatarnaak hote hai rani.......jab kisi se pyaar karte hai na, to iss qadar karte hai ki uski sanson tak pe apna haqq chahte hai.......aur unhe unka pyaar nhi milta to vo use chhin lete hai, har kimat par........aur sabsi achi baat ye hai, ki mujhse bada pyaar mei pagal, iss duniya mei aur koi nhi........ab tum khud samajh lo ki tumhe paane ke liye mai kis hadd tak jaa sakta hu........" he spoke everything while looking into her scared eyes. Poor madhushree weeped in his arms as he caressed her face in his own obsessive affection.
