"Madhu, we are invited to a party....!!!" said deepali scrolling through her instagram. Madhushree who was stacking up her clothes, looked at her in perplexity.
"Party.....????" Madhushree was confused. Deepali sighed and tossed her phone on the bed.
"Mukul aka Mike is organising his Birthday Party in Hotel Peaches & Truffles.....and guess what, the whole class is invited including us. And we are going to his party!!!" Deepali said with excitement like that of a toddler. Madhushree gasped as the idea of inviting the whole class to the party was simply not digestible for her. He hardly talks to anyone in the class and therefore inviting the entire class was simply pointless and bewildering.
"But deepu, I don't think it's a good idea!!!! Mike and his friends don't like us, I smell a foul play in this!!!" madhushree stated and deepali frowned at her.
"Oh C'mon madhu!!!!! You are always so paranoid. Nothing bad will happen, just come with me to the party, it will be fun......." said deepali pouting. Madhushree was yet not convinced and tried to reason with her.
"Deepu........"
"Madhu, it's final......" Deepali declared narrowing her lids at her. Madhushree sighed in defeat and nodded reluctantly to which her best friend grinned.

A bungalow bigger than big. Constructed on over 7-8 acres of land, provided with a huge enchanting garden flourished with junipers, bougainvilleas, jacarandas and few other bewitching angiosperms, a helipad on the back of the bungalow, a grand swimming pool on the first floor and much more. The monument precisely manifested the billions of the billionaire. And inside the bungalow was the billionaire himself, devoid of any shirt and apparently conversing to someone on his phone.
"Please Mr Uppalapati, you are embarrassing me.........I will never think so low of a man like you.....!!!" he chuckled on the phone as he cracked the eggs and emptied the contents into the bowl.
"I can understand Mr Uppalapati.......your payment is always on time and I know it's all because of the bank issue currently that your payment cheque was issued two days late.........You don't need to feel bad, Mr Uppalapati, it's perfectly alright.......!!!" he said whisking the eggs. Meantime Raghu entered in his bedroom with a pile of folders in his hands.
"You are my elder brother, Mr Uppalapati, please never think that I can ever think like that.......And I hope your wife and son are doing good.....!!!" he said switching on the electric stove he keeps in his bedroom. And than laughed while Raghu patiently watched everything.
"That's good......that's good.......!!!! I think you are fairly busy, I shall call later..........Thank you, take care!!!" with that he disconnected the call and by the time his omelette was also ready. Raghu smiled as he approached him.
"I believe it was Mr Uppalapati, from Nataraja Mansion......!!!" Raghu said taking a seat on a basket chair. Python chuckled and nodded.
"Due to this stupid bank issue, his payment arrived two days late and he rang me up to apologise for that......" he stopped to chuckle as he plated up his omelette and toasts.
"A disciplined man he is.........A good man, I believe. His payment is never late and that's what strengthens professional relationships, Isn't it!!!!" he poured down smoothie in his glass. Raghu chuckled.
"Perhaps you haven't heard the infamous tale of Uppalapatis......!!!" Raghu said and Python raised his brow at him.
"What does that mean???" he asked assembling his salad.
"This tale is famous in my village, the village of the uppalapatis.........Fear the uppalapati nymphs for the monster cages the beauty.....!!!" Raghu said and Python frowned at him.
"That's stupid, can't villagers keep to their own business........Why peep into the private life of uppalapatis????" he finally sat down to have his breakfast. Raghu looked at him shocked.
"Don't you think it's wrong to immure someone into your room forever!!!!" Raghu asked still gaping. Python devoured his breakfast and looked at him after a moment.
"If you love someone truly, you shall do anything to keep that person bound to you, just you!!!!" he stared right into Raghu's soul. Raghu shuddered under his vicious tone and started.
"Python whatever you said in the night was a joke right!!!!! You were drunk after all......" Raghu's anxiety was clearly visible. Python was silent for a moment but than he smirked and stared at him.
"A drunk man never lies" he stated as he stood up with the dishes. Raghu was rigid after his statement and was obviously frightened by Python's resolution. Nevertheless Raghu knew no one can stop python once he decides something, therefore he resoluted to stay mum and change the subject.
"Um........Python.......We have to visit Peaches & Truffles hotel tonight for a meeting with Mr Kundra!!!" he faltered while his soul still trembled with the mere thought of Python's madness. Python nodded as he cleaned his lips with a napkin.

So it happened in the early hours of the dusk when Madhushree (with her makeup on) entered inside the grand Peaches & Truffles hotel, along with her best friend. Due to madhushree being helpless to wear a simple clothing, Deepali too didn't dressed up in anything fancy. Her true friendship intercepted her to enjoy the pleasure of the materialistic things as her best friend was not fortunate enough to enjoy them. Anyways they were inside the hotel and could see number of students from her class in attendance in the party. There they met their new nerdy friend who had arrived early then them. Now it isn't vivid that Deepali fortuitously saw or it was more of an intent staring, but she found an extremely dangerously handsome, beastly man walking past them, never sparing his glance at anyone and marching straight to the second floor. He was followed by sturdy bouncers although it was pretty unnecessary as the man was alone enough to tackle with 10-20 miscreants with ease. Deepali was intimidately bewitched by the seemingly hubristic macho man, and wanted to show his new crush to her best friend but she was busy talking to their new friend. And when she paid heed to Deepali's words, the man was long gone.
"You missed that handsome hulk...." Deepali sighed pitifully and madhushree chuckled. On the first floor, however, an altogether different plot was set up for a very special person. The miscreants were Natasha and friends. Natasha and her boyfriend had somehow convinced AJ, the soccer team captain to join their cunning plan and because AJ does nothing for free, Mike paid him a hefty sum of money to participate in the plan. And this was the moment the plan was excogitated to be executed. Natasha gestured from above for the students to step aside, leaving Madhushree alone under the average looking vessel of water, hanging with the pulley and with it's rope in the hands of Natasha. As planned, Simmy called Deepali with a private number and due to signal interruptions, Deepali had to walk towards the door for her phone to catch network. The nerd was taken care of by Mike's friends and this way my friends, madhushree was alone under the bucket of water. Natasha and Co smirked while she released the rope from her fist, the pulley slip the balance and the tumbler tilted, splashing all it's contents on the poor soul standing below. Everyone heard the rapid splashing of water, followed the sound and saw the new girl trembling under the freezing cold water. And what later followed were wild guffaws from the first floor and that being of Natasha and her friends.
"This is what you get bitch for messing up with Natasha......" she yelled as she laughed with her friends after satisfactorily humiliating the poor girl. However madhushree was less bothered about her humiliation but more anxious regarding the ink slipping off from her body. She could see the water was wiping out all the ink showing her milky white skin from underneath. And she was actually more daunting by the thought of someone noticing the bizzare changes in her. It isn't certain if Millie, Natasha's cheer leading buddy, saw this first but vividly she was the first one to address the matter to Natasha.
"Babes, look!!!!" she yelled shocked and dumbstruck, and that's how Natasha and her boyfriend looked down at the trembling madhushree. Natasha fell agape at the sight of madhushree for she was no longer that ashy, cindered, grotesque creature but something else. The black substance was coming off like stream of water perhaps, and what it left was skin pure and white as snow, the black thing had washed off her face altogether and Natasha was shocked to see how beautiful she actually was. Her cheeks were naturally rosy, and that unibrow was mere a drawing to fool the lookers for her brows were perfect, her lips were pink and full, nose long and pointed and lastly that alluring beauty she was blessed with. And at that very moment Natasha felt that she actually made a fool of herself rather than her.
"Mike Did you........" she turned to Mike but was again left shocked for her very own boyfriend gazed at her as if she was his woman not Natasha and this called for jealousy and rage. But before she could confront him, Mike impulsively began to move towards her, never withdrawing his gaze from the beauty he had just encountered. And along with him, everyone who watched this scenario couldn't stop gawping at the scared madhushree.
"Mike........Where the hell are you going????" Natasha hissed through her gritted teeth as she tried to yank his collar but he pushed her away.
"Get away, bitch!!!!" he muttered furiously as he started to descend down the stairs leaving a dazed Natasha behind. Did Mike, her boyfriend just called her a bitch??? Tears gathered in her eyes when she watched her boyfriend, my apologies, rich boyfriend walking away to a girl she intents to loathe for all her life. Madhushree fearfully peeked through the obsidian of her long, wet eyelashes and discovered Mike from the left and AJ from the right, striding towards her. She also found gawping faces of the people around her and this made her gulp in fear.
"Madhu!!! Let's go!!!!" her best friend's voice arrived in the form of her saviour. She looked at deepali with teary eyes and her best friend looked at her in pity. Deepali glared at Natasha who was crying on the first floor.
"I will kill her tomorrow but right now we need to leave......!!!" she whispered to madhushree who nodded. And with that madhushree ran out of the hotel leaving shocked and dazed faces behind.
"Madhu.........!!!!" Mike whispered while he watched her running out of the hotel. On the other hand, AJ punched his fist on the wall, although lightly as he watched her darting out of the hotel.

Monsters lurk into the shadows but some prefer the light too. When the whole party was dazed with the beauty of the new girl, there was a pair of azure orbs gawking with the daunting blend of emotions wrapped up with vicious desperation and uncanny wantingness. He stood on the second floor of the hotel and without specific thoughts wandering in his mind, he looked down and that's when he came across that trembling beauty. That enchantingly alluring nymph queen, bewitching were her eyes and mesmerising was that beauteous face. Hairs long and wet providing her with the most desirable appearance as conceivable. She stood there, shuddering in obscured fear which he liked. That innocent fear which he found attractive. He was bewitched. She had bewitched a monster. With her mere glimpse, his heartbeat rised tremendously, something strange triggered in him. Something dangerous but beautiful, Something barbarous but gratifying and Something crazy but lovely. After her first glance he felt something he had never felt ever in his 40 years of existence. Love and madness. She was the one, he knew that. She was the one who was made for him. Just him and he intends to make her his. ONLY HIS. But before her alleged proprietor could stake his claim on her, she ran away. And this action of hers met his confusion and even fury. Who authorised her to run away from her husband and chiefly when he was about to confess his feelings and make her his bride for eternity???? This thought infuriated him and he marched downstairs. Storming he went outside the hotel founding she was long gone and this turned him crazy and restless. He swung round and looked around everywhere in a hope to trace his future wife but she was nowhere to be found. Fortunately Raghu who is always watching his every move, darted towards him and found him obsessively staring all around the street.
"Python.......Are you alright??" Raghu asked anxiously but python was all the more wretched after losing the woman of his dreams.
"That nymph.........." he yet was looking all across like a madman. Raghu looked at him staggered.
"Nymphs don't exist Python, you must be having a dream......" Raghu tried to calm him down. Python ran his fingers through his thick hairs, sniffed and looked at Raghu with his bloodshot eyes.
"They do..........I saw her...........I.......I found the purpose of my life.........Pandit, I found her.........!!!" his tone shared an uncanny resemblance to that of a man asserted to be a psychopath. And Raghu was frightened of his own boss.
"But she ran away..............she ran away from me Pandit...........She......!!!" he kept on saying as he still looked around the street. And than abruptly he turned to Raghu who flinched at the suddenness of him.
"You tell me Pandit..........this is so wrong, she shouldn't run from me like this............I mean this......this isn't right..........!!!" his voice stammered while he stated his thoughts to Raghu who was already terrorised by his bloodshot eyes and comportment of an obsessive psychopath. And than python was back to his smiling terms which ascertained Raghu that the fellow was slowly turning into a dreadful personality.
"I........Know.........I Know.......She must've been scared of me.........Aww that's adorable.........I could watch that frightened cute face all day.........But why would she be scared of me.........Oh!!!! Perhaps she must've thought of me as an angry man........No she won't.........she won't be scared of her own husband..........But if she is, than it's good........Or not!!!!" vividly he questioned to himself and also answered to those questions by himself. And in the whole process, poor Raghu was daunted. Besides the way Python was behaving it certainly pointed to a very disastrous trait of his, a demented Psychopath. The buttons of his coat were open and the first few buttons of his shirt were also undone, his hairs were a mess, nose red like a tomato and eyes bloodshot, if the girl whom he is obsessing over sees him like this she might suffer a panic attack, Raghu thought.
"Python, listen..........." Raghu tried to speak.
"Shhhhhhh!!!! You listen my dear Pandit..........Find her.........Find my queen, soon..........The sooner she is in my arms, the lesser crazy I shall be but if you fail to bring her to me, everybody suffers coz I am GOING CRAZY!!!!! And I need her........" python was sinisterly close and Raghu had no other option but to nod in fear.
"Find her..........!!!" he whispered releasing him and Raghu tried to catch his breath.
"My love You bewitched this monster........!!!" he yelled stretching his arms in the desolate street with his crazy laughter echoing in the lonely street.
