"Name of the caller.......!!!" the thick moustache man, uniformed in khaki, asked with certain emphasis as he penned down some inscrutable things in his half torn diary.
"Hrithik Roshan!!!" Mohan said in a rather serious tone, folding his decently muscled arms. This baffling statement of his met with a slightly puzzled expression of the officer.
"Pardon!!!" the officer reconfirmed. Mohan rolled his eyes at him.
"What gullible question was it, officer???? How would we know who the fellow was??? If we had, there didn't seem a purpose in calling you here, in this fashion and that too so early in the morn!!!!" Mohan said in disdain and officer frowned.
"That's a regular procedure we're expected to follow Sir!!!!!! No need to get hyper............" the officer was grinning at the moment and Mohan for some reason wanted to punch his face. After that, the officer cleared his throat and shifted a little on his seat so he was facing a sniffling madhushree.
"Ma'am, do you remember anything about him.........like any detail, minor or major, either one would go!!!!" the officer asked folding his arms. Madhushree sniffed.
"I just know him through the calls, Sir!!!!! He calls once a day, and in extreme cases twice but the number never exceeds twice!!!!!" she said softly. Mohan stroked her hairs gently.
"Officer, we don't want to get involved into any police case!!!!! Just take this body and do whatever you care.......just don't drag us in!!!!" Lata who had been surprisingly kind today, came inside with a tea tray in her hands. Nonetheless her foul mouth spoiled the mood.
"Someone has died, mother!!!! Do you even know what that entails???? What would happen to his family???? All you care about is a damn police case!!!!" Mohan hissed through his teeth and lata glared at him.
"This is for our own good!!!" she whispered with a glower and Mohan's face was eloquent of anger.
"Since when did you start thinking about us????"
"Shut up Mohan!!!!! You can't keep blaming me forever!!!!"
"Oh rubbish!!!! I don't blame you.......nobody does!!!! Besides I don't see any profit in blaming you, you are never gonna change after all!!!!"
"Sir........Sir.........Ma'am!!!!! Please!!!! You both need to calm down.........This fight can continue later on, at this moment we need to hunt down that murderer!!!" the officer jumped into the fight and put a 'the end' to it.
"Ma'am, when did it start????" he asked madhushree. She peeked at him through her wet eyelashes.
"Two three days ago, when his first call came!!!! Than a flower bouquet and yesterday a........a dead body!!!!" she broke down into tears by the end of the statement. Officer sighed.
"Anyone suspicious you might want to point to!!!" he asked staring at madhushree. She shook her head lightly.
"Show me the number please!!!" officer asked and Mohan quickly handed him madhushree's cell phone. The number was there in the very first row of the call log and officer was glad that he didn't had to waste time searching for it in the entire call history.
"I'm dialling his number!!!! Just be calm everyone, we don't want him to try any 'smartness' before we form a plan to nab him!!!!" officer stated before pressing the dial button on madhushree's phone. Madhushree clinged to her brother tightly as the infinitesimal thought of that menacing voice, freaked her out. First ring went, than the second and then came the third.......nobody received. However it was after the fourth ring, they perceived the sound of picking of the call.
"Hell.........."
"ABHIMANYU!!!!!!" they all heard a very unhappy yell on the phone.
"Maalik......." and the officer was forced to rise up from his seat and gawp at the phone's screen. The chawlas were shook as never this daunting man had never been this mad and secondly why was the officer trembling in fear.
"In. My. Office. Now. " the pause was there after his every word which obviously left the officer in the embrace of fear and anxiety.
"Yes Sir...........I will be right there.........!!!!!" with that, he quickly grabbed his cap and other items which he had loosely kept on the table, and ran he went outside the house as if he was being chased by ponies. It was all a business of a quick moment and obviously gave little time for madhushree and her family to understand what the hell actually happened. But when the officer whisked out they all were gawping widely at the door.
"What's the matter with him????" Lata muttered in perplexity.
"God knows!!!" madhushree whispered.
"I perhaps know though!!!!! He's scared of that caller.........I believe he's not a common man!!!!" Mohan said and madhushree was now tensed.

Officer ran from madhushree's residence but ended up straight in hell. Inside the abode of the billionaire. Officer was 'politely' offered a wooden chair for a seat and therefore he was presently observed inside the theatre chamber of the bungalow. Here he discerned certain peculiarities, first being the huge screen running a slideshow of the pictures of the girl he had met an hour before, second being his encircling by the hefty bouncers in a rather unusual fashion and lastly the daunting billionaire himself who looked way too mad today. But why??? Everything was to be gathered and covered in that single 'why'.
"Mr Python!!!!" officer somehow managed to stutter but felt it was ill timed for the billionaire's blank stare was yet there. Raghu who was now used to of all these eccentricities, was silent and standing behind his boss.
"You strode straight to her house without prior approval from me!!!" Python's voice was calm yet demanded to the point answers. The officer was puzzled.
"Pardon my boldness but I........I......wasn't notified that the girl........um that girl.......her name!!!! Yeah madhus........."
"QUIET!!!!! Just zip it already!!!! She's not some 'that girl'..........Did you understand!!!!!! So don't you dare address her with anything which threatens her dignity!!!!" Python's voice was husky and threatening at the same time and the officer was left sweating.
"I.........I am so sorry Sir!!!!! I didn't knew..............I......I was just doing my duty!!!!!" officer stammered and Python reclined on his chair. Behind him was running the slideshow of her pictures and officer was feeling he was seriously in a wrong place. He gulped.
"Well, if I might ask, for what perhaps my in laws were so drawn to call you over...........Is it regarding some butchered segments of a man????" Python said casually and Raghu rolled his eyes at him. Officer stiffened when he raised the actual issue.
"Um yes.........A man called Amit was murdered and then butchered brutally by some unknown assailant!!!! The butchered organs were packed in a trunk and left at the doorstep of chawlas..........But how did you know????" the officer was himself shocked but the worst trauma arrived only when the billionaire began laughing like a maniac.
"Oh God!!!!!" python was laughing like crazy and the officer was starting to grow terrorised of his spine chilling laughter. Raghu who was used to of it was devoid of any expressions as for him it wasn't new whatsoever. The poor policeman had to save both, his duty as well as life, hence he resoluted to ask him the reason behind his wild guffaws.
"Mr Python...........Is everything OK???? I.........asked how did you know about the murder????" officer said nervously and Python's laughter slowly started to die down. And when it was in it's climax, his eyes stared at the trembling officer.
"How couldn't I, after all I was the one to kill him!!!!" he was pretty vociferous in his statement and the officer for a moment was rigid. Was the tech giant, a killer???? And if that's true, than why is he confessing this in front of him, a police officer.
"What are you saying Sir!!!!!" officer practically yelled and unfortunately when he did the chamber was abruptly silent which means his yell echoed in the silent chamber. And just a friendly reminder that the billionaire despises loud people.
"I killed the boy, that's it!!!! There's no big deal in it!!!!" Python stated in a rather cool tone and the officer was gawping at him.
"It's a big deal Sir.........It is a big deal!!!!! You killed a boy and think it is nothing..........that poor, innocent boy..........." and the officer was abruptly yanked by his collar.
"He wasn't innocent.........throw out this rubbish from your mind!!!! Ok!!!!! He was trying to come between me and my madhu, therefore his elimination was inevitable!!!!" Python hissed through his teeth and the officer was founding it hard to cope up with the oxygen loss in his lungs. His breathing was shallow as the billionaire didn't seem in a good mood today and this obviously meant his life was in peril.
"I........I.........get it Sir!!!!" the officer somehow managed to speak. Raghu who was until now busy in gawping at the entire scenario, rushed in to stop his boss.
"Python.........Python.......leave him for God's sake!!!!!" he said struggling to free the officer. Python released his grip from round his collar and tossed him on the floor. Raghu sighed and officer gasped.
"Take him away!!!!!" Raghu said to the bouncers and with that the officer was dragged outside the chamber. After he was out of the scene, Raghu turned to Python who was breathing heavily with his one hand pressed up against the wall.
"What was that????" asked Raghu, dumbfounded.
"What was what?????" Python asked wiping the sweat from his face with his own hands.
"You know what I'm talking about Python!!!!!! I.........I...........!!!!! When will you understand Python???? You know this isn't right!!!!!" Raghu stated staring at his muscular back. Python breathed a sigh as he turned his head slightly towards him.
"I don't see anything wrong in it either!!!!!" stated Python and Raghu gaped at him shocked.
"What?????? Oh brother!!!!! Will you stop fooling yourself Python???? You are clearly scooting away from your sanity and falling deeper and deeper into the chasm of insanity!!!! And you think it's ok!!!! Just look at yourself Python........What have you done to yourself!!!! You need help and I am not joking!!!!!! You can't let yourself ruined by the hands of a bewitching damsel............You are a billionaire, Python!!!! Just think of all the pain you bear through your journey from rags to riches. You rose up from the filth and are now here on top of this world........This world is in your feet and you can't let your destiny abandon you, the way it did when you were nothing!!!!" Raghu tried to sound practical. Python ran his fingers through his thick hairs and sniffed before replying.
"On top of this world.........Hm!!!!! Perhaps you don't know, you get nothing but mere clouds and lilliputian sightings of the world while you are in the sky........!!!!! What are these billions for me when I have no one who appreciates the hardwork I put behind everything which earns me this.......this 'fools treasure'!!!!! Truth is that, that the more successful you grow the more lonelier you get!!! And I don't want to be lonely anymore, Raghu!!!!! I don't want to be lonely anymore!!!!! I also want to relish the joy every common man does, I want a loving wife, kids, a small adorable family..........that's it!!!! That's all I want!!!! I don't want these glittering gems, these currency notes............nothing!!!!!! I don't need them!!!!! I just need my madhu!!!!! Just my madhu!!!!" he was sniffing all the while. Raghu sighed.
"Python, please!!!! She doesn't wants you!!!!! You need to understand that your way of showing love is actually threatening her rather than pulling her towards you!!!!" Raghu said softly and Python chuckled.
"Than what should I do!!!! Hm!!!! Go and tell her that madhu I love you, marry me now!!!!! She will be more scared if I opt for this option!!!!" he was still chuckling and Raghu rolled his eyes at him.
"Of course not, I mean, just let her live her life while you live your own!!!! I am sure in some days you will forget her!!!!!" this for some reason made Python turn towards Raghu with eyes bloodshot which obviously made Raghu's breath hitched. Python prowled towards Raghu who was rigid in terror and when python was absolutely close to him, he started.
"Python khud ko bhula sakta hai, apni madhu ko nhi!!!!!" the use of his vernacular was now more often than before. And Raghu was certain that he will be smashing a hammer on his own feet if he tried indulging in a conversation with him.

In the night the chawlas were sitting in the drawing room, tensed and apprehensive. The officer hadn't turned back once he left and this obviously added up to more stress. Deepali was also present alongside her best friend as she just couldn't leave her alone, no matter what.
"Leave her more without her makeup.........Saw the consequences????" malini said in disdain and Mohan glared at her.
"If you don't shut your trap than I will permanently throw you out of my house!!!!" Mohan said loudly and malini was at once silent.
"She isn't wrong Mohan!!!! Madhu should never have shown her face to the world!!!!" Lata said and Mohan looked at her angrily.
"Why???? Has she committed a crime that she needs to hide her face from the world???? Stop talking nonsense mother!!!!! If someone loses his mind after seeing her beauty than it's his fault not hers!!!!" he shouted and Lata fell silent after that. In the midst of all this though, the doorbell ranged and malini marched towards the door to unlock it. She spent some time at the door and returned to the room only after a couple of minutes but this time with a huge like really massive parcel wrapped with a gift wrapping and some absolutely fresh tulips which were mesmerisingly fragrant.
"What's this????" Lata asked perplexed.
"Mother listen!!!! There's not always a need to behave like a serial daughter-in-law!!!! That's a parcel and a bouquet as we all can see!!!!!" Mohan hissed through his teeth and lata frowned at him. Madhushree gaped at the articles in shock.
"I believe they are for madhushree!!!" malini spoke up in disdain and deepali quickly snatched the items from her hands.
"Than they should belong to madhu!!!!" deepali stated while malini frowned at her. Madhushree was scared to handle the items therefore Mohan and deepali took the matters into their hands. Deepali scrutinised the bouquet for any sort of letter while Mohan shred the gift wrapping. Inside the box was however nothing so daunting, just some really fancy chocolates which madhushree likes wholeheartedly.
"Chocolates and flowers, that's weirdly adorable!!!!!" deepali said and Mohan rolled his eyes at her.
"Let's wait, he must be calling anytime soon!!!!" Mohan spoke up in disdain as he kept the chocolate box on the table.
"You have got pretty used to of him!!!!! Haven't you!!!!!" asked deepali.
"A bit I guess!!!!! Besides you have know choice when the chap won't stop irking you!!!!" Mohan sighed and deepali giggled. Following that the phone rang.
"Speak of the devil and the devil's here!!!" Mohan muttered as he sat beside madhushree who had started crying after the phone had started to ring. He answered the call for her and gestured her to speak.
"He.......llo!!!!" she sniffled on the phone.
"Kaisi ho jaan!!!" his daunting husky voice sent shivers down her spine and she cried more.
"Please..........Please!!!!! For God's sake!!!!! Just stop troubling me!!!!!" she cried pulling on her hairs.
"Am I troubling you????" this time the man sounded a bit 'hurt' but his feelings don't really matter.
"No you are frying fritters!!!!! C'mon, that's the most stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life!!!!! You're troubling her and not only that, you are scaring her!!!!!" deepali yelled on the phone. The man however replied her after few seconds.
"We can absolutely ignore you!!!!!" his reply enraged deepali and she was all set to retort but Mohan gestured her in time to stop.
"Madhu, I have sent you something........i hope you like it!!!" his tone held a weird excitement like that of a child and madhushree was staring at the phone in disdain.
"I don't want anything........take them away!!!!" she said crying.
"Why not???? Don't you like them......???? I will get you another one, I promise!!!! Just tell me what you want!!!!!!" the man said in his desperate voice and madhushree cried more. This man was really just.........impossible.
"Why don't you understand????? I don't love you........stop calling me again and again!!!! I am fed up with it!!!!" madhushree said on the phone and deepali was proud that she didn't stutter this time. But the man on the other hand, didn't appear happy for his breathing was heavy.
"Tum mera pyaar ho madhu..........kaise bhula du tumhe!!!!" his desperation coated his vernacular as he manifested his madness towards her.
"But I don't love you, why don't you understand!!!!!" madhushree was now sobbing and Mohan comforted her. He wanted to yell on him but he knew it was futile as the man was a pure psychopath and it was impossible to fit things into his twisted mind.
"You don't understand madhu.........You just don't understand how much I love you!!!!!! How much I crave for you!!!!!" his tone was now purely sinister and blood curdling and madhushree found herself more terrorised than before.
"Listen stop this now, it's getting out of the hands!!!! Just leave my sister alone if you don't want to end up behind the bars!!!!" Mohan finally yelled on the phone. The man chuckled.
"Bulaya to tha inspector, kya ukhaad liya!!!" and he scorned at Mohan who was now infuriated. But Mohan knew he can't repudiate whatsoever as the man wasn't lying. They indeed weren't able to do anything.
"What do you want????" madhushree asked on the phone while she still cried her eyes out, hugging deepali. The man took a deep breath before stating something which will haunt madhushree for days.
"Mai tumhe chahta hu madhu, sirf tumhe!!!! Aur tumhe haasil karke hi rahunga!!!!.................Bepanaah ishq kiya hai tumse, ab tumhe kisi aur ka hone nhi de sakta mai!!!!!!" his words were uttered with certain specificness and had truth and desperation in every syllable. But the real horror came only when he said this.
"Aaj sirf chocolates bheji hai, kal shaadi ka joda bhejunga............pehnogi na!!!!!" was it a question or a threat, nobody knew. But one thing was certain that this man was pure psycho and he was behind madhushree.
