"Brother where is he???? I am looking for him since past 15 minutes....." madhushree asked mohan. Mohan sipped his coffee and looked at her.
"He left early in the morn.......was saying something about a buisness deal!!!! I don't know, I hardly apprehend that man...... But, he left. Period...." mohan stated as he laughed briefly. Madhushree was somewhat startled, like how on earth can he leave without informing her in the first place. But then, he left that's all what matters, he was a bane in her life after all.
"Mr. Python......" a voice boomed from behind, but neither of the siblings cared for she was malini.
"Mohan where's Mr. Python....." Malini asked haughtily. Mohan sighed as he shut his laptop.
"In my pocket......wanna have a look!!!" mohan retort with an impertinent tone to his voice. Malini fumed.
"Shut up and just tell me where is he!!!!!" Malini shouted but mohan was poised.
"Listen malini, I am not his PA, I can't have records of where he went. SO JUST SHUT THAT TRAP AND LEMME DO MY WORK...." Mohan spat angrily and she flinched. She stamped her foot before walking away. Madhushree sighed.
"Should I bring you your breakfast??" madhushree asked softly. Mohan smiled and nodded. In the meantime, madhushree and Mohan heard footfalls approaching the hall. They waited for the person to show himself, which he did eventually.
"Hi madhu......" a young, handsome man of near 23 was grinning at her. She gasped.
"Oh my god, Sudhir......... after a long time!!!!" she was elated after seeing her good friend. She took him by his arm and strode to her brother.
"Brother meet him, he's sudhir....... remember my friend from science coaching, 10th standard!!!" she introduced him to mohan. Mohan honestly wasn't very interested in the guy, he appeared perfidious in some way, the grin on his face was kinda creepy.
"Hi, nice to meet you!!!" mohan shook hands with him but was still dubious of him, the guy could see it quite clearly that mohan wasn't interested in him.
"Sudhir...... you're really a mean guy, I mean after 10th you didn't even show your face!!!! I know, you must have forgotten us......" madhushree said with a chuckle. The guy coyed while scratching his neck.
"I can never forget you madhu.......it was just that, I went to Bangalore for higher studies!!! Went to an engineering college after 12th.....I am doing a job at The Leo's tech, as a software developer. Um, that's all you know...." he said. Mohan honestly felt that it was unnecessary, you don't need to give your credentials unasked, the guy was more of a bloviating chap if you believe mohan.
"That's great sudhir...... and so did you marry????" asked madhushree excitedly. The guy chuckled.
"I know I'm 4 years your senior but no......I didn't marry!!!! Didn't find the right girl..... someone who was of my level" said he. Mohan crossed his arms over his chest.
"Nobody is right dear, you just have to make them that way........ besides, a person's level is never judged by his looks or money but his skills and heart!!!!" mohan stated coldly. Sudhir's smile vanished, mohan was seriously not pleased with him.
"Well yeah.......that too!!!!! Um, so madhu.....do you have a boyfriend!!!!" his flagrant question startled the siblings. This is not a question you ask a girl, especially in front of her brother. Mohan now had multiple reasons to dislike him.
"She don't!!!!! And she doesn't plans to have one in near future!!!" mohan said brusquely which kinda offended him. Nevertheless he still went on.
"That's a pity........ you're such a beautiful girl, you should have a boyfriend!!!! Perhaps you too are waiting for your Mr. Perfect!!!!" Sudhir straightened his collar as he asked her. Madhushree bit her lip, even if she was waiting for Mr. Perfect she can't have one because she has a Mr. Beast in her life already.
"Thanks Mr. Sudhir but my sister is ok without him.......by the way, we're quite busy!!!" mohan's smile irked sudhir. He had literally insulted him so smoothly like a knife in the butter.
"Yeah ok......." sudhir was sulking.
"But sudhir promise me you're going to have dinner with us tonight.....I don't know for how long you are in Delhi and before you just quietly fly to Bangalore, I want to invite you for dinner. So will you come please......." madhushree requested sweetly which kinda disgruntled mohan. This man didn't deserve to eat with them.
"If you will be happy then I'll surely be here for dinner......." sudhir replied with a smile. Madhushree smiled.

Malini paced athwart in the room. She was trying to reach someone on the phone and was seemingly very tensed.
"Pick up the phone......." she muttered as she pressed the phone to her ear.
"Malini......" Lata yelled from outside, she flinched and trembled. She heard footfalls and was certain that her mother would be here soon. She quickly typed something on her phone before tossing it on the bed and darted outside the room. In the hall were mohan, deepali, lata and madhushree. Madhushree was busy in setting up the plates for dinner.
"I am telling you that guy is trouble.....you never believe me madhu...." deepali said from the chair. Madhushree ignored her. Deepali sighed.
"C'mon madhu, just because I cheered for python doesn't mean I don't care for you. You can't remain mad at me for such a petty reason....." deepali shouted and madhushree narrowed her eyes into tiny slits.
"You know it better Ms. Deepali Senon that the man you were cheering for is actually a psychopath and has made my life hell." she responded with disdain and deepali pouted.
"Ok sorry...... now stop with those questioning eyes......you know that I love you. Ha, I might've a little soft spot for Mr. Python but I love you more, you know that!!!" deepali grinned and madhushree chuckled.
"Madhu I don't usually impede your plans but are you sure you want to invite that guy for dinner....." mohan asked. Madhushree sighed.
"I know why you guys are so apprehensive. But it was a long time ago.....he probably would've forgotten about that" madhushree said as she placed the casserole on the table. Mohan and deepali looked at each other.
"Dear madhu, he was literally a romeo in those days. Don't you recall how many times he proposed you after all he was the only one who saw you without 'makeup'. He's a bad sign madhu, trust me he is. He isn't a good man......" deepali said softly. Madhushree huffed.
"Will you stop it please!!! I have already invited him so please stop......." madhushree said and the two fell silent. Sudhir came at half past eight in the night, he was 'courteous' enough to bring flowers and chocolates for madhushree. Mohan and deepali were silent but their uneasiness was clearly eloquent on their faces.
"The smell is delicious......God I am famished, I believe!!!!" and he chuckled. Madhushree served him food. The dinner was predominantly silent but few words were exchanged though. Mohan and deepali were excessively cold to him but sudhir was also no saint, he also was a jackal, if you know what I mean. After the dinner was over, malini and lata were made incharge of cleaning up the table. Malini was weirdly happy today for some reason.
"Madhu, thank you for everything......." sudhir blushed as he thanked madhushree. Madhushree chuckled.
"Shut up, it's nothing sudhir..... You're my friend, I can do this tiny thing for you...." madhushree said softly. Sudhir took a deep breath before continuing.
"I know you will think I am just rushing but I have waited for this moment for years......" Sudhir was looking into her eyes as he said. Madhushree was puzzled.
"What do you mean sudhir....." she asked confused.
"Uh oh......it isn't going right way....." deepali mumbled aghast. Sudhir chuckled.
"I don't wanna be your friend madhu...." He sat on his knees and grabbed a rose from the table, mohan and deepali were agape.
"I like you madhu......will you be my girlfriend????" he proposed her with a smile. Madhushree was dumbfounded, she was literally at loss of words. Firstly, you don't propose a girl in front of her brother and secondly, this was badly ill timed. Like no...... the dude seriously got issues.
"Sudhir um I......" Madhushree was feeling really awkward. Mohan wanted to smash this man's face, how brazen this guy was.
"I think she's not interested in you Mr. Sudhir...... better if you leave!!!" Mohan hissed angrily. Sudhir gave a look of disdain to mohan.
"Well in that case I would want to know the reason behind her uninterest...." Sudhir's tone was haughty as if this rejection has somehow affected his manly ego.
"It's because....." Mohan's statement was left unfinished BECAUSE OF THIS.
"Kyunki vo meri hai isliye...." The extremely angry voice boomed in the dining room and the folks were rigid with terror. This wasn't a good sign. 

On the door was an angry python. Clad in an indigo suit, he looked lethal with those initial buttons undone and hairs a nest of mess. Madhushree gasped as she knew what worse was going to happen. She feared for sudhir as she knew python's obsession will have him kill sudhir in a matter of seconds.
"Mr. Python....." Sudhir raised his brow as he stood up while looking at python in disdain. Python had blood in his eyes at this moment. He came storming inside.
"Mr. Python please...... please......" madhushree stuttered but python's one look silenced her. She was death scared of him right now. She had seen python's insanity in situations like this and she feared that.
"Madhu dear do you know him....." sudhir asked confused but immediately regretted when python yanked him with his collar.
"Maalkin bol use......jiss company mei tuchi si naukri karta hai na tu, uss company ka maalik mujhe salaam thokta hai. Aur madhu meri biwi hai......kaun hai madhu???? Haan.....kaun hai...." Python choked his neck resulting him to gasp for air.
"Your......wife......" he answered with difficulty. Python's bloodshot eyes glared at him as madhushree cried in horror.
"Aur ye baat saat janamo tak yaad rakhna. Hm. Ab chal nikal.......aur dobara agar meri madhu ke aas paas bhi dikhai diya na, madhu ki kasam jinda gaad dunga tujhe....." Python wasn't bluffing and sudhir knew it. So once he was released, he quickly ran out of the house not sparing a look at the folks inside. Mohan was enraged at this behaviour of python.
"Who do you think you are????? Who entitled you to humiliate my guests in this fashion...." Mohan yelled at python while madhushree sobbed in terror. Python was mad and mohan was feeling he should've curb his temper.
"Listen I have blood on my mind right now......zip it and lemme talk to madhu..." Python was trying to sound calm but he internally was in a chaos. Mohan was also a brother and his duties overtook his daunt of python.
"I won't, please leave.......madhu don't love you, so please leave...." Mohan stated. Python's red eyes had tears in them and do I really need to even mention how demented he looked at the moment. His daunting obsession for madhushree was literally doing ballet on his head and if anybody tried trifling with this lion than he is probably awaiting gallows.
"You don't understand, do you!!!!" Python was calmly speaking which obviously meant that the dangerous was just on the doorstep. Mohan was on the other level.
"I do understand but you don't.....she doesn't loves you, it's a small thing but you don't understand it....." Mohan stated. Python sniffed as he moved his fingers under his messy hairs.
"Raghu, mere ziddi sasural waalon ko zara samhalna....." He yelled with those menacing eyes of his. Raghu was helpless and he had to obey python's orders, he send few bouncers in and in a minute's time the bouncers were dragging the family outside, barring madhushree. It all happened real quick, so quick that poor Madhushree could only gape at the scene.
"Bro....... Brother....." she hiccuped as she cried while mohan's yells could be heard from outside. She turned to python, to plead him to let them go but once she looked at him only one emotion was felt by her, fear.....pure fear.
"My.......fam..... family......" poor she hiccuped whilst crying her eyes out. She wanted to plead but knowing that he was a psychopath, she couldn't.
"Tumne mujhe bohot hurt kiya hai madhu......bohot hurt kiya hai." He sniffed as tears fell from those menacing eyes of his. She sobbed as she heard cries of her family from outside.
"Deepu....... Brother......." she sobbed as she pointed her finger to the door, silently asking him to let them go. But he himself was devastated, don't believe me but he was.
"Mai saara din madhu...madhu....madhu karta rehta hu, apne khwabon tak mei sivaay tumhare kisi aur ka naam nahi leta. Aur tum.......Kyu madhu, kyu!!!! Kya kami hai mere pyaar mei.......kya kami hai......" he sounded heartbroken but madhushree's priority was her family and she wanted to save them.
"Please......my..... family....." she bawled her heart out to him but immediately regretted when he grabbed her forcefully making her wince in pain.
"CHUP......AGAR EK BAAR AUR TUMNE APNI FAMILY KA NAAM LIYA TO MAI SACH KEH RAHA HU MADHU, AAJ MERE HAATHON TUMHARA PURA PARIVAR MAR JAAYEGA...." He yelled maniacally scaring her to the core. She sobbed fearfully as she squirmed under his grasp.
"I LOVE YOU MADHU.......I LOVE YOU MADHU......I LOVE YOU MADHU......I LOVE YOU SO MUCH........WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THIS TINY THING???? WHY DAMMIT....WHY????" he yelled as tears ran down his eyes but the obsession in his eyes was still as it is. She sobbed harder.
"Please........." she could only manage this between her hiccups. Python punched the wall beside her and she shrieked. He released her and stepped back.
"Tum nahi samajhti madhu.....tum nahi samajhti....." he muttered as he shook his head, his stare was still fixed on madhushree.
"I beg you please.........let them go please......" she pleaded with tears. His knuckles were bleeding due to him foolishly punching the wall but he cared less about that, her tears affected him terribly. He closed his eyes and tears poured out of them.
"Mai tumse pyaar karta hu madhu......hazaar baar bata chuka hu that I love you so much. Mai rakshas nahi hu madhu, bas mai tumse bohot pyaar karta hu...... isliye tumhe kisi aur ke saath bardasht nahi kar sakta....." he spoke his heart out in his raspy voice. She cried badly, because listen......he is scary, ok. He came towards her and she shuddered.
"Tumhare paas to mohan hai, deepali hai, tumhari vo cousin hai.....mere paas to sirf tum ho madhu. Mere paas tumhare alawa aur hai hi kya......darta hu tumhe khone se. Bas isliye aise behave karta hu....." He whispered kissing her fingers. She sniffed.
"But I don't love you....... please try to understand this......I just don't love you!!!" she said between her tears. The sweet python was now gone and what came was a psychopath, if python hates one thing that's her rejection. He grabbed her waist and pulled her to his chest. She shrieked.
"Lekin mai to karta hu........ Mai to karta hu tumse bohot pyaar aur jaan tumhe bhi mujhse pyar karna padega, kyunki....Ha ha ha....you have no other option. Jaan, just hear me out carefully......Ya to tum khud se meri banogi ya phir mai humari suhagraat pe tumhe zabardasti apna banaunga. Choice is yours baby....." He laughed maniacally as he scared poor madhushree. She couldn't even muster the courage to beg him for freedom and although python didn't wanted to force himself upon her physically and would never even do it but still she knew that he had hundreds of other ways to make her surrender to him.
"Mera pyaar mera pagalpan hai zidd nahi....zidd chhodi jaa sakti hai, pagalpan nahi. Tere ishq mei khud ko qurbaan kiya hai maine, ab tu kisi aur ki ho jaaye isse pehle python iss duniya ko aag laga dega......" His obsession scared her terribly to the extent that she was witnessing black dots in front of her vision.
