"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.
