"Fine than stay hungry......." Lata muttered infuriated as she dashed outside madhushree's room with a tea tray in her hands. The breakfast which consisted of regular paranthas, eggplant curry and mango pickle was sincerely untouched. Lata stormed into the drawing room and then rapped the tea tray on the table with a thud.
"I'm done with him!!! Don't you dare ask me to go into that room again......I don't want to be humiliated again....." she yelled at the two people standing in front of her.
"Oh God......now what to do???" madhushree gasped and said. Mohan sniffed.
"Let him be famished if that's what he choose......" he stated with his tomato red nose, he had recoverd from the fever but sniffles don't go that soon. Madhushree looked at him in incredulity.
"Please brother don't say like that.......no one should starve in our home. God will never forgive us if we keep him starving in our house......" madhushree said softly. Mohan sighed. Malini emerges from the door of the drawing room, grinning like crazy.
"I'll help you......I can take breakfast to him......." malini tried to sound unbearably polite but obviously everybody knew that it was a counterfeit.
"But jiji......."
"Ofcourse........if you please Ms. Malini....." Mohan stated with a smirk and winked at madhushree so she wouldn't put up objections on his statement. Malini was euphoric and picked up the tray with utmost eclat and proceeded towards the room. Mohan giggled like a toddler.
"Now see what happens....." he said excitedly to madhushree. She sighed. Malini placed the tray on the small console table outside madhushree's room and fixed her hairs. She hadn't washed them this morning but they didn't stink so it would go, her dress was also fine and short which kinda pleased her. She picked up the tray and rapped at the door. No answer. Now most etiquette say that one shouldn't enter the room until the person inside asks you to but our malini is far from etiquetted person so we can probably forgive her for opening the door and venturing in. Inside was, guess what, Python. Laying on madhushree's bed with one leg bent and forming a sort of a triangle, like a bahubali style......now you catch me. His hairs were a mess, intial three buttons of his shirt brutally undone from which peeked the hairs of his muscular chest, he still had his coat on but looked kinda pissed off for some reason. Malini cleared her throat which wasn't required as python was staring straight upon her.
"Breakfast Mr. Python......" she said softly. He tossed the fidget spinner (he keeps playing with it everytime) on the bed and raised his brow upon her.
"Where's madhu......." he demanded and she was irate. Like why on earth he keeps on asking for her?????
"She's asleep...." she lied. Python glared at her while his fingers encircled the shimmering metal vase. At the drop of the hat, the vase was hurled upon malini and it hit against her shin. She shrieked at the excruciating pain.
"Get lost you filthy scum of a woman. Bring my madhu here....... I'll only eat when madhu brings this breakfast to me....." he spat angrily. She gritted her teeth and glowered at him.
"How dare you...... you......" she was forced silent when python picked up the lamp from the bedside table. She dashed outside the room.
"Madhu......Madhu....." malini shouted for madhu as she came limping towards her. Mohan guffawed as soon as he caught sight of her.
"Looks like someone got a treat from Mr. Billionaire......" and his laughter didn't fade away. Malini muttered imprecations under her breath.
"That python is going insane......says he will only eat when you take this breakfast for him.......Just go....." she yelled angrily before storming outside the room. Madhushree fumbled with her dupatta.
"I.......think I should go......." She faltered but mohan wasn't agreeing to her suggestion.
"Please don't....... better let him starve then be around him......." mohan said agape.
"That doesn't make sense....... and please I'm going......." madhushree left no room for debate and marched towards the room with the breakfast. She rapped at the door.
"Malini I swear I will turn you into a cadaver....." he yelled from inside. She gasped.
"It's me, madhushree....." she faltered.
"Madhu...... Madhu please come in......" he sounded gratified for some reason and madhushree entered inside.
"Madhu.......you shouldn't knock...... there's no way I would keep you waiting outside......." He was blushing as he sat up on the bed. Madhushree didn't reply him which kinda made him qualmed. Was she angry with him???
"You aren't eating......." she asked as she laid the food on the bed for him. He looked admiringly over her perfect face. She was gorgeous, truly gorgeous.
"That isn't true........I just didn't wanted them to serve me......." he spoke up, still looking fixedly on her.
"You have tantrums worse than that of girls......" she muttered while pouring a glass of water for him. He chuckled.
"Do I????" he asked with a grin and she nodded.
"Now eat......" she said to him and he nodded obediently. He looked down at the breakfast and grimaced.
"Lord!!!!!! I ate the same thing yesterday........ I'm not eating this thing again...." he whined and she narrowed her lids at him.
"Eggplant is really good for health.......stop grimacing!!! C'mon finish it up....." she said sternly and he whined again.
"Please I won't eat eggplant.......I wanna have mixed veg today....... please....." he pleaded. She glared at him.
"No you will eat this....." she declared firmly. He punched the pillows.
"Bana do na please......." He stated with the hem of her dupatta in his mouth in a way like a toddler bits on his mother's dupatta when she isn't listening to him.
"No......." she looked at his puppy dog face and sighed deeply. This bastard knows how to get things going.
"Fine......." she muttered agitated as she got up and strode towards the kitchen. He grinned in exultation.

Mohan, madhushree, malini, lata and python sat inside the drawing room. The ambience was tensed for the chawlas.
"When everyone of us had eggplants than why this gentleman had mixed veg....." Mohan asked madhushree with a hint of agitation. Python, who was spinning his fidget spinner, cared less about what he said.
"Brother please......he wasn't eating eggplants!!!!! I'll make mixed veg for the dinner ok...." she said softly to her brother. Mohan narrowed his lids at python as his spinner was producing unnecessary sound in the room.
"Will you stop that already......" Mohan shouted at python to which the latter carelessly threw a glance over him.
"I won't eat mix veg in the dinner.....I will have potato curry, squash and flatbread. I will be glad you have halwa in the dessert......I don't like milk products, do you madhu......" he asked crossing his hands behind his head. Mohan was fuming.
"This is not a diner Mr. Python....... you're an unbidden guest, besides when are you planning to leave???" Mohan asked with a frown. Python rolled his eyes at him.
"Mohan my not-so-dearest brother-in-law, look I am not a common man. Suppose I am caught by a gullible paparazzi while leaving your place, myriad of stories will be made.......why was I here???? When did I came and left??? What was my work here......so on and so forth. And regarding your question, I will stay here for a next couple of days....... because I want to!!!!" Python's extraneous statement had whizzed past his head.
"And what if I don't allow you to stay in my place......." asked mohan sternly. Python chuckled.
"Lol!!!! As if I care.......I want to stay and stay I will!!!!" Python stated and Mohan was crossed.
"May I come in!!!!" an agitated voice came from the drawing room door. The beady eyes turned towards the door to find Raghu standing with a suitcase in his hands.
"Pandit....... come in..... this is your boss' in-laws house, just be comfortable!!!!" Python called him in as mohan watched him in disdain. Lata and malini went to their own room because they felt like an odd one out among them, mohan marched outside for his evening walk and madhushree went to the kitchen to check on the soup.
"Why everybody left once I came in????" Raghu was staggered. Python chuckled.
"My in-laws are weird, not my Madhu ok....... she's in the kitchen to check on the soup. Btw.......got my stuff????" Python asked with a grin. Raghu rolled his eyes.
"Here it is....." he said as he pushed the suitcase towards the couch. Python grinned.
"Thank you pandit....." He thanked him. Raghu sat next to him and started.
"Python are you mad!!!!! You are living in this little house when you've a luxurious bungalow of yours!!!!" Raghu tried to fit sense in his head. Python glared at him.
"Chup kar pandit, ye meri Madhu ka ghar hai aur mere liye ye ghar duniya ke har bungalow se zyada khoobsurat hai.......tu ja, bhabhi tera intezaar kar rhi hogi....." He said and raghu could only look at him in adoration. Why this man is so adorable sometimes??? Madhushree was listening to everything from behind the door. She smiled.
"Thakur Sahab had called on the landline and was asking about you......." he informed him. Python smiled.
"Inform her that I will be staying here for some days......." Python said. Meanwhile madhushree came inside with a glass of water for Raghu. However before she could give it to him, python snatched the glass and gulped down the water leaving her shocked.
"What was that python......" Raghu yelled at him irked.
"Tu itna acha nahi hai jo meri madhu ke haath se paani piyega......" said python with his eyes narrowed. Madhushree sighed as she knew it was futile to say anything to him. Raghu frowned upon him.
"You're impossible......." He muttered under his breath and python grinned.

The dinner was over needles to mention the altercations between mohan and python too was over. The dinner consisted of flatbread, squash, potato curry, mixed veg and halwa along with custard in dessert. It was a huge meal but madhushree had to make sure that both of the raging bulls were satisfied. Everyone got what they wanted and no one was left disappointed. After dinner Mohan retired to his chamber and lata, malini's whereabouts were of no business to us. Madhushree marched towards python's room to ask him if he needed anything. But he wasn't in his room so she launched a search operation for him in the whole house. In the course of her search she ended up on terrace and there she discovered him lying on the stone boundary. She sighed as she strolled towards him.
"Stargazing......." she said tentatively, although she knew this man was her biggest fear yet knowing him a little won't do no harm. He turned his head towards her and smiled.
"Aye....." he concurred. She sat on a small basket chair which she keeps on the terrace to sit and bask in the winter's sunshine.
"Even i love stargazing....." she said to him as she looked above at the sky to gaze upon the glittering gems.
"They make a best companion....." said he. She chuckled.
"Looks like you admire stars a lot..... don't you love moon!!!!" she asked curiously. He looked at her and smiled.
"Vo chand mere chand se zyada khoobsurat thodi hai jo mai use dekhu....." said he with those passionate eyes of his which kinda made her uncomfortable for some reason. Therefore she left the topic here itself.
"Um so.......are you planning to launch one more car????" she asked curiously. He sat up and smiled as he was extremely pleased with the fact that she was finding curiosity in his work.
"No......well not for the next two months certainly as we're all set with a new mobile launch......" he told her. She nodded.
"Nice!!!! Well I was thinking if you could go ahead with a new car launch..... I am a huge fan of Tezz model......." she spoke her mouth. Python's eyes lightened up.
"Tum......Tum......kahogi to mai mobile launch rok ke Tezz v-42 model launch kar dunga.........tum khush hogi na tab......" he asked with hope and she chuckled.
"But why would you do that.......all your plans with be catapulted because of this!!!!!" she said. Python gazed fixedly over her.
"Tumse zyada keemati nahi hai mera business mere liye.......tumhari khushi ke liye to mai khud ko qurbaan kar du to ye sirf ek chota sa plan change hai......." he stated and boy, those words held truth. She felt weird like, why was he like that??? Why can't he let her hate him??? She looked down for a moment and sighed.
"Feeling cold love....." python asked anxiously as the wind was growing chillier with each passing minute. She shook her head lightly.
"I know it sounds weird but do you know fleming's left hand rule....... I can never fully understand it....." she asked out of the blue and he chuckled in amusement.
"Come here......" he said and she stood up and sat next to him. He grabbed her hand and started arranging her fingers in the positions of current, magnetic field and magnetic force.
"Suppose this is the direction of current, this is magnetic field......and this will now give the force......" he whispered in her ear and she was practically sitting on his lap. She giggled as he explained her how the concept worked. In the silence of the night, her giggles echoed in the desolate terrace as python gazed at her unflaggingly, admiring her every feature.
