"Wow........this is so beautiful......" Deepali said as she eyed the lehenga. Madhushree smiled.
"Hm and your Mr. Perfect gifted it to me previous night....." Madhushree said and deepali was shocked.
"What!!!!! OMG, so he gifted this to you and you took it......Hm, something's fishy....." Deepali teased her to which she rolled her eyes.
"Deepu, you know he's a psychopath, had I not accepted it he would've done something beyond thinkable.......better to keep the beast at bay I suppose...." said madhushree. Deepali frowned.
"You know you are stupid madhu........I mean every girl wants a man like python, you are the lucky one to have him but then you just keep pushing him away....." deepali was disappointed. Madhushree sighed.
"You forgot to mention a psychopath. He's a psychopath and he goes on confirming that by himself....." madhushree added but deepali was still frowning.
"Aren't psychopaths sexy....... and top of that a man of 40." deepali said with her twinkling eyes and madhushree gaped at her.
"Oh really, than you would want to date hannibal lecter as well....." said madhushree with a frown.
"He's a cannibal sweetheart, python isn't a cannibal he's a vegetarian........ c'mon madhu don't you feel that weird sensation in your tummy when he says 'Madhu tum sirf meri ho......sirf meri' my god, if it was me I would've been dead.....like dead girl......" deepali stated with a sigh. Madhushree rolled her eyes at her.
"Whatever.......I just don't want him!!!!! Why to be with an 'oldie' when you've plenty of young bloods roaming around...." madhushree cleared it to her. Deepali sighed.
"Age is just a number madhu and I see nothing wrong in an older guy falling in love with a young girl or vice versa. It's alright......." deepali told her.
"Deepu let's just not talk about him please........ let's have our burgers, I don't wanna ruin my morning by thinking over him......" madhushree said irritated. Deepali wanted to speak more but felt it better to not. They sat there for a couple of minutes in pure silence. However suddenly deepali was gawping at the glass window of the cafeteria.
"Madhu look......" deepali gestured madhushree to look over the window which she did and gasped.
"My goodness, what is he doing here and who is this person with him....." madhushree muttered as she espionaged at him from the window. Python was in the car, but on the front seat as on the driver's seat was this anonymous woman who looked way more dangerous than python, she'd her hairs done in a bun and a tiny strand of hair flopped on her chiselled face and although madhushree couldn't see her properly but she could considerably make out that she had quite of muscles.
"My god, did you see her.......... lord, she is perfect......." deepali chirped exuberantly.
"I can see faintly though, who is she by the way......" asked madhushree perplexed.
"Rudrakshi Bajypayee........ isn't she handsome......I know we use these terms for boys but just look at her......who needs a man when she's there......." deepali said drooling over her. Madhushree concurred to her. She looked really good perhaps madhushree might had developed a crush on her.
"But what are they doing here??? Wait I hope python and she are not married or else I'll kill your python....." deepali cried and madhushree chuckled.
"Married...... please, I think she's his best friend....... she rang him up yesterday and he told me that she was his best friend. Besides you yourself said that python is a loyal man......" said madhushree. Deepali nodded. Python and rudrakshi were in the car and apparently were staring through the car window at the video game store.
"Why have they parked their car near the video game store...... what's the matter???" deepali asked impatiently. Madhushree chuckled.
"Python loves kids stuff quite a lot........ and I think he's here to buy some video games for himself........" madhushree said biting on her burger. Deepali giggled.
"Puerile, isn't he......." muttered deepali. On the other hand python was really antsy.
"Kya hai yrrr, iss pandit ko abhi tak game nhi mila......." he muttered irritated and recieved a blank expression from his best friend.
"It's because the game you're looking for isn't available in each game store you moron....... and why can't you have anything else why only dragon ball S???" asked rudrakshi slightly agitated. Python whined as he leaned back on his seat.
"Kyunki mujhe goku acha lagta hai.......tu mere saath khelna, tu na vegeta ke saath khelna aur mai goku thik hai...... dekhna mai hara dunga tujhe, kyunki na goku ke paas bhot powers hai...... ultimate super saiyan ki power hai goku ke paas....." He rambled like a five year old and she rolled her eyes. Deepali and madhushree were still baffled as why the hell were they waiting outside the game store.
"Oh God what are they trying to do!!!!" deepali was vexed. Madhushree chuckled.
"Hey girls......." a familiar voice came from behind. The girls turned their heads to find Lakshya standing right behind them and beaming upon them.
"Oh hi, how are you!!!!!" madhushree greeted him with a smile. He sat down with them.
"Long time no see....... thankfully I was here to grab a burger and found you!!!!" he grinned fixing his glasses. Madhushree smiled.
"That's so good......" she said.
"Hi buddy........do you know natasha and Mike have split up......" deepali told him and he nodded.
"Yeah, he asked me the other day if I can help him get closer to madhu and I walked away........ like he's such a punk!!!! Why on earth would madhu date a guy like him????" he said contemptuously. Madhushree sighed.
"You did right and who knows one day we might break his bones......." deepali said and they both laughed. Lakshya gave a hi five to madhushree as they both laughed. Far away a pair of eyes watched the entire scene with jealousy and rage. His fists were clenched as he caught the sight of his madhu laughing with that hamster guy.
"Perhaps just a close friend....... like me and you!!!!" rudrakshi said with a blank face. Python was fuming and that trembling of his body confirmed that.
"Sau baar kaha hai maine ki mujhe meri madhu kisi aur ke saath achi nahi lagti.....phir bhi har baar vo yahi galti karti hai......" His eyes were fixed on that guy and his madhu. Rudrakshi sighed.
"It's your lookout buddy, I am yards away from it........do what you want but I believe you wouldn't hurt her....... she's a sweet girl in my opinion...." stated rudrakshi placing her hand on the steering wheel. Python had fire in his eyes and he himself wasn't sure what worse he can do at the moment.
"Kyu madhu......kyu majboor karti ho mujhe rakshas banne ke liye.......kyu tum nahi samjhti ki mai tumse kitna pyaar karta hu......tum sirf mere saath achi lagti ho, sirf mare saath......" He stated as he stared ragefully at the two friends.

Mohan wasn't well today, he was having a very mild fever. He took a mild paracetamol tablet and had slept after madhushree insisted him to take some food. Lata and malini had went to their old house as mohan had given them ultimatum of vacating this house ASAP and hence they were preparing that house for residential purpose. Madhushree was alone with mohan, well actually alone because mohan was fast asleep. She was in the hall keeping a record of all the bills to be paid in this month.
"2500 to the milkmaid......" she muttered as she wrote it down on the notepad. Suddenly the door burst open and she flinched. She looked up to find a furious python storming inside the house. His shirt was out and his coat's initial buttons were undone, his hairs were a mess and his eyes were bloodshot. Had he been crying??? Madhushree gasped.
"Kaun tha vo ladka........" His initial question baffled her. She looked at him in shock.
"What are you saying????" she asked softly. He brought a bottle of whiskey close to his lips before gulping down some from it. She knew he was drunk, for a moment she thought to stop him from drinking too much but then why to unnecessarily interfere in somebody's affairs.
"Vohi ladka jiske saath tum khushi se hass rahi thi.......yaad aaya!!!!!Huh, kaun tha vo" he asked contemptuously. Honestly speaking she was hella scared of him right now. A drunk psychopath is 100 times worse than a sober psychopath.
"He.......is just my friend......." she whispered in fear as she receded back. He hurled the bottle on the floor, shattering it into tiny shards. She shrieked.
"Dost.........hm......vo dost hai aur mai.......mujhe to tum apna dushman bhi nahi samajhti ho......" His voice held pain but it was a bit deeper as the more prominent part of it came out as jealousy and anger. She wept silently.
"Please....." she whispered with tears as she kept receding back from him.
"Kitne pyaar se hass rahi thi tum uske saath........ mere saath to tum kabhi nahi hasti ho aise, bas aise roti rehti ho.........vo koi comedian hai, huh, comedian hai to btao uska show rakhwa denge bungalow pe........" said he with hatred and she sobbed.
"What's my mistake........all I did was just laugh....... can't i laugh!!!!! Can't I be happy????" she bawled out at him with tears. He grabbed her waist, terrorizing her.
"Tum hass sakti ho, khush reh sakti ho lekin sirf mere saath.....samjhi tum.......kisi aur ke saath nahi......" his firey eyes had placed an admonition in front of her. She sobbed in his grip.
"Why????? Why should I???? I want to live like any other girl........why are you doing this with me......." she yelled at him as she pushed him away, tears streaming down her eyes.
"KYUNKI PYAAR KARTA HU TUMSE.......BOHOT PYAAR KARTA HU......PAGALON KI TARAH PYAAR KARTA HU TUMSE......." he yelled maniacally scaring her to the core. She slumped on the floor and cried. Python kicked the table furiously and punched the wall with his fist, after that he ran his fingers under his hairs and took a deep breath. His eyes then fell on the crying madhushree and now he was crossed at himself. He sat near her as tears build up in his eyes.
"Madhu please ro mat........mai tumhe rota hua nahi dekh sakta......." he said softly running his fingers through her silky hairs. She sniffled turning her face away. He placed his index finger under her chin hence tilting her head to his side.
"Please don't turn your face away from me........you don't know what it does to me......." he whispered before planting a tender kiss on the corner of her lips. She gasped and started scooting away from him.
"Stay away from me please....." she whispered with fear. He grabbed her petite frame in his brawny arms and she struggled.
"Baby I love you......." he said trying to calm her down but she wasn't having any of him at the moment. Besides he looked so daunting right now and he was drunk like an inebriate.
"Lemme go please........." she pleaded while banging her little fists on his rock hard chest. Honestly he enjoyed her little struggles, they kinda turned him on, his sexual desires though weren't sadistic but were fairly weird certainly. He chuckled as she made a desperate adorable attempt to free herself.
"Tere pyaar mei iss zamane se dushmani kar li humne zaalim aur tu hai jo hume nazar uthake dekhti hi nahi......." he muttered with that psychotic obsession glimmering in his eyes which daunted her badly. Shayaries were meant to be beautiful, not scary but this man knows how to shape clays according to his will. She wimpered as he stared obsessively at her face.
"My........ brother is sick........ please go, he needs rest........ we'll meet tomorrow........ please......." she tried to formulate something buyable but LISTEN, he is crazy but ain't a fool. He twirled her hair strands between his first two fingers and started.
"Meri jaan, tum bohot bholi ho.......tumhe lagta hai ki mujhe bewakoof banana asaan hai par unfortunately aisa nahi hai........Mai tumhare peeche pagal hu par bewakoof nahi........" He cleared it to her with a smirk. She was scared badly and crying was the only thing she could think of.
"Somebody help me please.........." she sobbed while trying to free herself. He laughed maniacally before planting a smooching kiss on her cheek.
"Koi nahi aayega tumhe bachane meri rani........" he laughed as he tried to stand up but failed terribly as he was excessively drunk. Madhushree helped him or else he would have tumbled down. She wiped her tears and tried to keep balance as he was really heavy.
"Mr. Python please.......I don't think you can drive in this state........stay here tonight......" she said with difficulty and his eyes twinkled.
"Awww tum kitni achi ho madhu.......kitta dhyaan rakhti ho mera....." He blabbered without sense, madhushree ignored him and tried to drag him to her room. He was rambling nonsensical stuff all along the way but finally they made it to her room. She placed him on the bed and gasped for breath.
"Madhu.......Madhu....... please mujhe chhod ke mat jaana........" he mumbled as he was close to dozing off. She sighed as she tentatively took off his shoes and tossed a blanket over him.
"I will sleep in the hall....." she whispered as she started to walk out of the room.
"Mai tumse bohot pyaar karta hu madhu.......I love you madhu....." he mumbled in his sleep and she gasped. She didn't know what to do with this man. Should she rebuke him for his madness or adore him for his innocent love for her.
