"Kyu Re, tune teacher ke baalon mei chewing gum chipka di........" Viraj rebuked his son on the phone. His thick Haryanvi accent lurked in his voice as he went on rebuking his son for his notoriousness.
"What????? Listen you..........Ok!!!!! Ok!!!!! I'll have a word with you when I reach home and you better start behaving.........!!!!" with that he disconnected the call and tossed the phone a bit harshly into his pocket. His best friend, Samrat, watched him in perplexity while his another friend Shivanshi, chortled while sitting on the bean bag.
"Oh boy!!!! He is doubtlessly your son!!!!!" she chuckled and viraj frowned upon her.
"Yeah Yeah!!!!! Laugh as much as you can!!!!! You are fortunate that you have disciplined kids, mine are devils!!!!" he yet was frowning. Shivanshi gave him a shocked look.
"That's what you think brother!!!! My kids are anything but disciplined and silent, they indeed are monsters just like yours!!!! You don't live in my palace hence you have no idea what sort of devils have I produced!!!!" she said shaking her head and this time viraj chuckled.
"You're obviously lying!!!!! You both have a daughter each, and girls are naturally quiet and adorable, unlike boys who are reincarnations of devils!!!!" viraj stated as he took a seat on the chaise lounge. Samrat chuckled at his statement.
"Yes, that's true!!!! My daughter is very sweet but my son, goodness, he is a monster!!!! Last week he threatened his teacher that he'll abduct his wife if he doesn't gives him good marks in the test!!!! See, what to do!!!!" samrat chuckled and so did Viraj and shivanshi.
"Same is the case with my son!!!! Fortunately I have a daughter......." shivanshi said and viraj sighed.
"I wish I had a daughter!!!!" viraj sighed.
"Try once more, perhaps this time you'll be blessed with a baby girl!!!!" samrat proposed.
"Yeah I'm trying..!!!! Um, I visited the head priest last month, he confirmed that I will be having a daughter but I'll have to wait a little longer for that!!!!" viraj said scratching his neck.
"The head priest of the Durga Temple!!!!!! Man, he never lies!!!! Every single thing he predicts, comes true!!!!" shivanshi could attest to that and viraj nodded. Three of them were invited/called to the Python bungalow, where they were currently observed. Python was launching his brand new model of Race car tomorrow, that's what the news that came to them, and they were here to personally congratulate the tech giant. Besides they wanted to grab the new car model for their own private use and hence their presence here was for this reason as well. The billionaire was nowhere to be traced and the three were vaguely impatient. They were no less busier than him and in sooth waiting for someone was something they weren't good at. However, more abruptly they heard a near weeping sound. The pesky sound came from behind them, turning back they discovered python's very own Raghu Pandit, running straight in their direction. For a moment the three were rigid after seeing the speed with which he was approaching them and felt a need for a run. But before the whisking attempt could be made, Raghu was already on their faces.
"Maalik..........Maalik!!!!!" he weeped as he literally fell on Viraj's legs. The three were stunned as Raghu never behaves this weird.
"Raghu what has happened........???? Has Python fired you??????" Viraj asked still shocked as Raghu wailed like a toddler.
"Maalik.........iss rakshas ko samjhaiye!!!! Nhi to mai zeher kha lunga!!!!!!" he wailed and Viraj and Co gaped at him in shock.
"Please.........Don't say like that Raghu!!!!! What has happened that you are so drawn on poisoning yourself!!!!!" shivanshi asked agape. Raghu sniffed before rising up.
"Tomorrow is the launch day!!!!! A grand launch day, do you understand!!!! A GRAND LAUNCH DAY!!!! There will be media, the politicians, the film celebrities, the sports personalities, renowned authors.........and many more!!!!! And guess what, PYTHON HAS REFUSED TO ATTEND THE LAUNCH!!!!! What will I do?????? How will I reply to the media!!!!!!! What will I say to the interviewers??????" he blabbered and shivanshi raised her brow at him.
"Hold on!!!!! Hold on!!!!! It's a launch day tomorrow and python is not attending the launch!!!!!! Am I right?????? But why is that????? Why would python not attend the launch of his own car model??????" she asked confused. Viraj and samrat concurred to her. Raghu frowned before opening up the entire matter to them.
"It's because of that tempting, bewitching damsel!!!!!! Since he had laid his eyes upon her, he has turned insane!!!! Morning to the night, he keeps on painting her pictures, watches the slideshow of her photographs, talks to her photos and guess what, he has even started to threaten her on the phone!!!!" Raghu spoke up in disdain and boy, the three pals had their mouth hung open. Python, the tech giant, was in love and they had no idea of that. It was indeed a shame.
"What!!!!!!" the yell came out in unison and Raghu pitifully nodded.
"Ok!!!! Ok!!!! That makes sense now!!!! He's been so off lately..........this was the reason why!!!!" shivanshi muttered and the two man were scratching their necks.
"I see no trouble in that!!!!! Loving someone is not wrong!!!!" samrat said.
"Indeed Sir but obsessing over someone certainly is!!!! Besides he is threatening the girl to love him.......and........you tell me, can someone love under the threat of a person!!!!!" Raghu stated but he was addressing the issue to the wrong people.
"I believe you Raghu!!!!! But these two people know nothing about love, they...........they forced themselves upon their wives!!!!!" shivanshi said and Raghu frowned at the two. The two Mafias gaped at the innocent liar.
"For God's sake, stop lying!!!!! We forced ourselves upon our wives, that's true!!!!! But who was the one who threatened sambhav in his college for marriage!!!!" viraj hissed through his gritted teeth.
"I..........I.........don't know!!!!! Perhaps Rudrakshi!!!!" she stuttered and viraj clicked his tongue.
"Oh c'mom, we all know Rudrakshi is rather decent in matters like these!!!! Her life revolves around guns, her duties, money, her business and her family!!!!!! Besides, she isn't a person who will force someone to fall in love with her!!!!!" samrat stated and she sighed.
"Yeah Yeah!!!!! I did it, but he was being so stubborn!!!!!" she defended herself and Raghu was now on the edge.
"Please stop arguing!!!!!! Help me otherwise I will have no choice but to drink poison!!!!!" Raghu muttered and the three stiffened. Meantime, heavy footsteps approached the guest room and before anyone could play 'guess who' game, the person was inside the room. And by no surprise, it was Python, the tech giant.
"What a pleasant surprise!!!!! You guys are here!!!!!" Python was a bit startled with their presence yet wasn't bothered with it. The three however were gaping at him.
"Python, this creature around here is asserting that you are in love!!!!!" shivanshi asked abruptly and for a moment python was dazed. But another moment, he was found grinning shyly.
"Oh!!!!! So you know it!!!!! Well, that's great, I am going to my madhu's house to ask for her hand in marriage!!!!! Why don't you guys come along with me????" he said with a broad beam.
"Um, that's not a big deal but hey, Raghu said something like you aren't coming to the launch tomorrow!!!!" Viraj faltered and Python glared at Raghu.
"Not everything is to be publicised, shithead!!!!!! Well, Um yes............I don't plan to attend the launch tomorrow!!!!! I have to plan a multitude of things for my wedding and most importantly I have to persuade madhu and her family for the marriage as well!!!! Therefore I can't attend the launch!!!!" he confessed and the three vividly understood his situation. But Raghu didn't and he was obdurate on dragging him to the launch.
"Python you can't go to her house today.............!!!!! After the launch is over you can go to her house!!!!" Raghu said calmly or trying to be calmer. Python stared at him blankly.
"You know I don't entertain gullibles trying to get in between me and my madhu!!!!! So you better stay away Pandit!!!!" Python's voice was creepily serious and husky. Raghu wanted to smash his head against a rock.
"C'mon Raghu, can't you see how much he loves that girl!!!!! Just let him do what he wants!!!!!" shivanshi said and the mafias also shared the same opinion. Raghu clenched his fists.
"Yes Raghu, Python loves her madly!!!!" Viraj stated and Raghu stared at the trio blankly before starting.
"Agar ye kal launch pe nhi aaya, to mai Ganga Ji mei kood jaunga!!!!!" Raghu threatened and they all gasped.
"Stop being so dumb Pandit, you can't blackmail me like this......." Python muttered furiously and Raghu folded his arms.
"Exactly!!!!!" Samrat said but Raghu was obdurate.
"My good fortune, all the lunatics are here itself!!!!" this voice was vividly familiar and it came from the door. Everybody looked at the door to find a dashing personality coming through. It was Rudrakshi Bajpayee, the biggest arms maker and supplier. She came inside with the same daunting aura surrounding her as she advanced towards the gaping peeps.
"Did you just say lunatics?????" Viraj asked raising his brow.
"Wow!!!! You still have a good hearing even after being this old!!!!" she stated blankly and viraj frowned.
"Hey Rudra, how have you been?????" shivanshi asked grinning.
"Just like always!!!!! I am extremely busy and here with a good news for Python!!!! Your would be wife is attending the launch tomorrow!!!!" she said impassively and Python was agape. Raghu grinned.
"Oh really!!!! That's a shame that Python is not attending the launch, no problem, I will make sure she is safe and sound!!!!!" Raghu smirked and Python was dumbfounded.
"No........No who said I am not coming tomorrow!!!!! I am coming.........!!!" Python stuttered and the mafias were chuckling.
"It's not required Python!!!!! You just plan everything..........you don't need to attend the launch!!!!" Raghu stated with a smirk and Python glared at him.
"Keep your mouth shut Pandit!!!!!" he hissed through his gritted teeth as everybody laughed.

Madhushree was inside her home in the night. She was observed working on her assignment. The assignment was for the most part completed, however the acknowledgement and overview was yet to be finished. Therefore she was working on those two things. Her phone rang in the midst of it. She received the call.
"Hello!!!!" she said while her hands continued writing on the paper.
"Madhu what are you doing???" her brother asked on the phone.
"I am completing my assignment, when you will be home????" she asked.
"In an hour, Mom and Malini are at home?????" he asked.
"They have gone to Mrs Agarwal's house for a kitty party!!!!" she said softly. Mohan was infuriated.
"WHAT????? There's a madman on a loose, and they have gone to a stupid kitty party!!!!! That means you are alone in the house!!!!! Oh God, don't worry madhu I will there soon!!!!! Just close all the doors and windows, and don't open the door for anyone!!!!! I'll be there real soon!!!!!" he said. Madhushree replied him with a feeble 'yes' before he disconnected the call. After that she got up and strode towards the front door. She quickly shut the door and locked it and did the same with all the windows of the house. And when she was satisfied that she was safe, she strode back to her room to finish the remaining work. She sat down to do her assignment again. It was only five minutes later, however, when the lights suddenly went off. She gasped as she stood up and glanced around the gloomy room.
"What has happened to the lights????" she whispered as she looked around the dark chamber. Everything was gloomy and the gloom was something which daunted her since birth. She was afraid of darkness, which isn't a big issue as 6 out of 10 people are actually scared of darkness.
"It's just a powercut!!!!! Relax madhushree!!!!!" she muttered as she wiped the sweat from her face with her fingers. She tried to walk towards her bed as that was where she had tossed her phone.
"Madhu..........." the voice was sinisterly familiar to her. The same voice which has daunted her for weeks now, the voice which sends shivers down her spine, the voice which belongs to a psychopath. A psychopath who has fallen for her beauty. Sweat beads began appearing on her forehead as her palms started to turn cold. Fear rushed through her veins gifting her goosebumps. Mustering up all the courage, she slowly started to turn towards the voice. She was extra slow as deep down she wanted it all to be a dream and him to vanish before she turns to him. A minute later she was fully facing him and when she came face to face with him, she gasped. In the darkness of the night, he stood there by the window, the pale moonlight falling on his making it easy to trace the outline of him. He was extraordinary tall, more than an average man, perhaps 6'7 or 6'8. His body structure mimicked a Greek God for he was extremely muscular and she could comfortably see those huge muscles which were threatening to rip out from his tight fitted suit. His hairs were thick but obviously the hair colour wasn't visible. But all in all, the mere sight of him had her freaked out to the core. So much that a shriek ripped out of her throat when she caught the sight of him.
"Help!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!" she screamed on top of her lungs as she started running inside the room, sobbing as it to be seem.
"Daro mat Madhu...........Please daro mat mujhse........!!!!" his voice was extra soft yet that daunting huskiness was still there. Madhushree obviously wasn't going to listen to a psychopath, therefore she attempted to make a run for the door. However before she could reach the door, the man quickly stood between her and the door. She gasped.
"Madhu listen, I am not going to hurt you!!!!!" his voice held desperation but that is what scared madhushree even more. She shrieked as she turned around and started to run away from him.
"Please don't run away from me madhu!!!!!!! Please.............Stop running away from me!!!!!" it was more of a threat but madhushree wasn't paying heed to him. She kept running but unfortunately her dupatta got stuck in one of the nails of the bedpost. She gaped in horror as she tried to disenthral her garment from the pesky nail, but at the situations like this the attempts generally go futile. Nonetheless she still endeavoured to free her dupatta but the true horror arrived only when she caught the man approaching her like a predator. She sobbed as she strived harder to pull away her dupatta and at the same time keeping an eye on the psychopath. However, a minute later she saw big calloused fingers tugging on the end of her stucked dupatta. She gaped at the fingers in horror and was even more horrified when the fingers skilfully pulled out her dupatta making sure that the garment isn't ripped in the process. She looked up at his face which was sinisterly close to her making her flinch back in fright.
"Hm!!!! See I disenthraled your dupatta!!!!!" his voice felt more scarier from up close and madhushree was all set to make for a run. Nonetheless, the man was even more quicker than her and in a single moment, he had grabbed madhushree's fragile waist and pulled her to his rock hard chest. She gasped.
"HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD I TELL YOU!!!!! DON'T RUN AWAY FROM ME!!!!!! CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THIS TINY LITTLE THING!!!!" he yelled furiously and madhushree sobbed. She struggled in his warmth radiating arms which he obviously didn't appreciate.
"Leave me please!!!!" she sobbed as she hitted his chest with her tiny fists. His hold around her tightened.
"Madhu please don't cry!!!!!! I can't see your tears!!!!!" he spoke up rather softly as he grabbed her little fisted hands and kissed them gently. She gaped at him in horror as she pulled her hands away and tried to make for another attempt to run. But he quickly placed his arms on either side of her head to prevent her from escaping. She sobbed.
"Madhu listen to me carefully, do not ever try to run away from me..........Did you hear me!!!!! Hm!!!!!" his voice was threatening and poor madhushree couldn't do anything else apart from crying her eyes out. She slumped down on the floor as she hugged her knees, trying to keep this monster away. He sat on the floor near her and she shrieked at the proximity. She tried to scoot away but if only he let her.
"Madhu.............My madhu!!!!!! My love..........please listen to me!!!!!" he pleaded as he softly glided his fingertips on her long hairs in a manner as if he was afraid that his touch might harm her in some ways.
"No.........please no!!!!!!" she whispered as she curled up into a ball and cried. The man placed his arm on the side of her head confining her between his arm and his beastly body. She squirmed under the closeness.
"Tum bohot khubsurat ho madhu.........bohot khubsurat!!!!" he said resting his face against hers. She hid her face in her hands and sobbed. His fingers glided over her face as he scooted more closer to her, so much that there was no space for even air to pass.
"Madhu.............I can't even say it in words how much I love you!!!!! I love you so much madhu.............I just love you so much!!!!!!" he said as he softly pecked the corner of her lips. She sobbed harder.
"Oops, I clean forgot!!!!! I have brought something for you!!!!" he chuckled as he stuffed his hand in his pocket and produced a pair of glittering golden anklets.
"You love anklets, right!!!!! I bought them just for you..........come let me help you wear them!!!!" he said and madhushree helplessly sobbed. He gently tied the anklets around her ankles and sighed in pride. They looked outstandingly beautiful on her feet.
"Please leave me.............Please!!!!!" she begged with tears as she tried scooting away from him. This plea however madden him for some reason as he abruptly punched his fist on the wall. She flinched in terror.
"Kaise samjhau tumhe.........aur kis tarah se!!!!! Are pyaar karta hu tumse, pagalon ki tarah pyaar karta hu............samjhti kyu nhi ho tum!!!!" he said desperately grabbing her in his arms. She sobbed.
"I don't love you........please leave me!!!!" she said with tears as she struggled in his arms. He pulled her more closer to him and started.
"Pagal deewana hu tumhara madhu........ab tum sirf meri ho!!! Sirf meri!!!!!" he declared her terrorising her more. She sobbed helplessly as he kissed her cheeks.
"I'll come back again madhu..........Just for you!!!!! Wait for me, my love!!!!" he said as he loosened his grip around her. Madhushree cried, hiding her face in her hands as she heard his retreating footsteps. And when she was certain that he had left her, she angrily undid the anklets and flung them away. After that she sobbed harder as she remembered what that psychopath promised her.
