NARRATOR'S P.O.V
The day was quite balmy and the people walking on the street were seen wiping the sweat from their faces. The month of September is predominantly not so scorching yet their are certain days when it feels like we are living in Sahara desert. Howbeit there were weather forecast reports stating that it will drizzle today, probably in the night. The people of city didn't trust the weather reports as most of the time they were inaccurate. Besides the inhabitants of the city were way very busy to even pay attention to the weather reports. Women and young girls were seen shielding their faces with a scarf as they didn't wanted to tan in this scorching heat. Everything appeared normal. The rumours of the demise of the Mafia King were now being discarded by both the media and the folks. Moreover the hunchback man had also began to read Bhagvad Gita as he knew that the Mafia King is still alive and he can slay him any moment. So the hunchback pondered that it will be better if he starts reading holy books, in this way atleast he will escape from the hell. Not only that the hunchback was now seen visiting the temples recurrently, trying to ask for forgiveness for his misdeeds. The hunchback was so terrified that he had began to see the face of the Mafia King everywhere, even in his girlfriends face.
The Mafia King stood in the kitchen with a cup of coffee in his hands. His eyes were focused on his love who was happily relishing on her chocolate and biscuits. He observed her carefully as how she would dunk the biscuit in the molten chocolate and would stuff it into her mouth. He smiled. It was so amazing to watch her like this. He wanted her to always be like this, happy and carefree. She was so precious to him that he was ready to blaze this whole earth, just to keep her with him. She looked up at him to see him watching her intently. Since the day he had arrived here, she couldn't help but find him creepy. But still she would always smile at him.
"Hey do you want to eat chocolate and biscuits. " she asked politely to her scary guest. He smiled showing his dimples.
"No I don't eat chocolates. " he said smiling. She pouted. He is so weird. Who doesn't eat chocolates.??? He knew what she was thinking, he chuckled. He looked down and smiled thinking about all the memories they had shared together.
He had to go back to his mansion today and he was wretched. He wanted to spend his entire life with her. But no matter how much he wants to stay here, he knew he can't. He had to go back to his Mansion to kill that coward hunchback cousin of his and to take up his position back. But he knew that very soon he will escort his queen to his mansion and then they will live happily forever. He was from a royal family, his forefathers were Emperors and therefore he was a royal rajput and it was interdicted for them to stay in their wife's home for long. His father always taught him that a man who stays in his wife's home for long is a weak and good for nothing man. A man should never stay in his in-laws house. And he was not at all a weak man, hence he had decided to leave his baby's house today itself. He may be a bad person but he would never go against his customs. Besides he had a business to look after and if he won't work than how will he place the world in his queen's feet.
"Excuse me. " a soft voice appeared from his side. He gazed at his side to see his love standing near him. He smiled at her.
"Yes. " he said politely keeping the coffee mug on the slab.
"I don't know your name. " she said hesitantly. He chuckled, she is so naive. He was fantasizing about their kids and his wife doesn't even know his name. He wanted to laugh at himself for this.
"Samrat Singh Ahlawat. " he said with a grin. She really found his name scary, just like him.
"It's so long. Can I call you Sam. " she said innocently. He just couldn't believe, the whole world even fears to take his name and here this little angel is asking to address him with a pet name. He didn't mind though after all she was the only one who has the right to call him anything she fancies.
"Yes you can. " he said chuckling. She giggled. Meanwhile Martha entered inside with a usual smile which he despised with all of his heart. He was a clever man and it didn't took him much time to realise that Martha was dubious of him. She would deliberately interrupt him when he and his princess were alone.
"Umm your family had came to take you back. " Martha said. He glanced at his baby to find her eyeing him puzzled.
"I have to go nandini. " he said with his broken heart. Nandini looked at him with wide eyes.
"Ohh but you didn't tell me earlier that you had informed your family. " she asked innocently. He stared at her with his eyes filled with love.
"I forgot. " he replied looking down.
"It's ok. You should go your family must be so worried for you. " she said with a smile. She was his only family, he had already murdered his parents and uncle aunty, now he had no one except for her. And he will never let her go.
Martha and nandini stood near the car to wave their guest goodbye. Martha was really thankful that he is finally leaving while nandini was quite happy that she had helped him and now he can go to his family. He waved bye to his love with heavy heart, even though he knew that he will bring her to his mansion soon but he just didn't wanted to leave her even for a single minute. Nandini was unaware that the man she brought her home was a Mafia King but now the man who is going back is a crazy obsessed maniac who will go to any extreme to have her.
"Bye Nandini. " he sat sadly as he sat inside the car.
"Bye Sam, take care. " she said with a smile. The man sitting on the driver's seat gaped at her shocked. He couldn't understand that why a little girl is calling the Most powerful Mafia King by his pet name.??? The car drove away and the man sitting inside couldn't help but shed tears as he was insanely in love with the girl.
Nandini sat inside her room when she heard some sounds coming from her drawing room. She ran to her drawing room to find her brother sitting there, drinking water. She sprinted towards him and hugged him tightly.
"Brother you came back. I missed you so much. " she said hugging her dearest brother tightly. He chuckled.
"Oh my little princess, I missed you too. " he said as he kissed her forehead. She sat next to him.
"What did you bring for me. " she asked excitedly. Her brother laughed and took out a box from his bag.
"This. " he said as he placed the box carefully in her hands. She looked at the box curiously.
"What is it. " she asked shredding the wrapping from the box.
"It's Rasgulla, Bengal's speciality. " he said pinching her cheeks. She smiled happily and opened the box and hurriedly stuffed a rasgulla in her mouth. She could feel the sweet sugary syrup enveloping her mouth.
"It's amazing. " she said her mouth filled with the sweet. Her brother chuckled. He looked around to find no one except for Martha and nandini.
"Martha where is that Man. " he asked curiously.
"He has gone today itself, his family members came to pick him. " Martha said. He nodded. He looked at his side to see his little sister happily enjoying her sweets.
"Don't eat much or else you will not be able to eat the dinner. And I don't want you to skip dinner. OK. " he said loosening his knot.
"OK. " she replied innocently. He laughed and kissed her cheeks.
Sounds of gunshots could be heard inside the Ahlawat Mansion. The cooks and the housemaids hid themselves in the kitchen as they were petrified of the vicious beast who was ceaselessly firing. The hunchback was hanging on the chandelier and it appeared he could plunge down anytime. He was continuously weeping and chanting the name of God. Their was no God left to which he hadn't prayed.
"HUNCHBACK. " an angry voice bloomed around. The angry Mafia King came inside firing the bullets from the gun continuously.
"HUNCHBACK COME DOWN RIGHT NOW. I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU TODAY. " the Mafia King yelled angrily. The hunchback started crying.
"Elder brother sorry. " he said weeping like a coward which he was.
"SHUT UP AND COME DOWN, YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING MORON. " he yelled angrily firing up in the air. The hunchback hugged the chandelier tightly and kept swinging with it.
"Big brother, I promise I will never do that again, please forgive me. " he said as he kept swinging with the chandelier.
"YOU WILL NOT LIVE TO REPEAT IT. JUST COME DOWN YOU MORON, STOP SWINGING." the Mafia King yelled.
"Brother I am not swinging intentionally. The chandelier is swinging by it's own because of my weight. " the scared hunchback said.
"Hunchback if you break my chandelier than see what will I do. " the Mafia King said refilling his gun with the bullets.
"But if I will come down than you will kill me, I don't want to die big brother. " the hunchback said frightened.
"OFCOURSE I WILL KILL YOU SHITHEAD, YOU TRIED TO KILL ME. WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO WITH YOU, SHOULD I GIVE A PRIZE FOR TRYING TO KILL ME. " the angry man said as he fired again.
"Big brother sorry, please don't kill me. I promise I will be a good boy. I will do whatever you say, big brother. " the hunchback said crying like a 5 year old. The Mafia King's man came towards the Mafia.
"Boss please leave him, don't kill him. " his man said softly.
"WHY NOT, HE IS A FUCKING BETRAYER. I WILL KILL HIM TODAY. " the angry Mafia King said.
"Boss I know he is wrong but actually his girlfriends are pregnant with his baby and trust me his all three girlfriends are pregnant. At least for the baby, please leave him. " his man said endeavouring to calm down the angry man.
"What the hell are you saying, this ugly 33 year old can never have a girlfriend, what are you talking. " he said with disgust.
"I am 32 years old big brother. " the hunchback shouted from above. The Mafia King glared at him.
"Boss please, moreover what can you get after killing him. He is good for nothing, just let him go. " his man said. The Mafia King put his gun down with a frown.
"Big brother sorry. " the hunchback said still hanging on the chandelier.
"Ok. But don't you dare try to do this again. " the angry man said keeping the gun back at the table.
The hunchback smiled and started to descend down the chandelier.
"Brother you will not kill me right. " the hunchback asked climbing down the chandelier.
"Yes I won't. " the Mafia King said annoyed.
"Big brother promise. " the hunchback back said as he dusted off his clothes and stood far away from him.
"I swear if you won't stop saying this than I will kill you for sure. " the big man said glaring at him. The hunchback ran as fast as he could after hearing this. The Mafia King stretched his arms and cracked his knuckles.
"Give me food, I am hungry. " he yelled as he wiped the sweat from his face.
"And I want Gujarati food. " he said as he started to dash towards his room. Everyone present there, looked at him shocked.
"Boss are you sure you want to eat Gujarati food. " his man asked.
"Do you think you can ask me questions. " the Mafia King said irked.
"Sorry boss, I meant that Gujarati food is quite mild and less spicy and you like to eat spicy food. So that's why I was asking if you really want to eat it or not. " his man said softly. The Mafia King glared at him.
"Do you think I am joking. " he said with gritted teeth. The man shook his head.
"Prepare a full Gujarati thali for me, I am really hungry. " he said as he stormed towards his room.
The hunchback sat in his room, encircled by girls. The girls were wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"I would have died today Kalyani. " he said to one of the girls. She nodded with worry. Suddenly one of the gang members entered inside. He sat on one of the chairs.
"Arjun are you alright. " he asked the hunchback. The hunchback glared at him.
"I was about to reach hell and you are asking if I am alright. " he said annoyed. The man chuckled.
"Arjun I think something is off with Mafia King. " he said, the hunchback looked at him perplexed.
"What do you mean. " he asked the man.
"Come with me, you will know by yourself. " he said. The hunchback got off from the bed and followed him to the Mafia King's room. They both quietly stood near the window and looked inside. They found that the Mafia King was reading a.......magazine?????
The hunchback striked the man on his head. The man groaned.
"What do you find wrong in him. " the hunchback asked irritated. The man glared at him.
"Shit head can't you see, Mafia King is reading a fucking magazine. Have you ever seen him doing that.??? He looks so.....happy. " the man stated. The hunchback stared at him confused.
"Huh, you are mad, there is nothing wrong with him. Didn't you see he was about to kill me. He is alright. " the hunchback said.
"Are you the watchman of my room. " a voice said. Both the man looked in front to see Mafia King staring right at them. The man ran away and the hunchback cursed him under his breath.
"Big brother. " he said smiling like a fool.
"What do you want. " the Mafia King asked seriously. The hunchback entered hesitantly.
"Thank you for not killing me big brother. " the hunchback said standing near him. The Mafia King looked at him with his accostumed expressionless face.
"No need because I can kill you right now. " he said seriously. The hunchback clutched his leg tightly.
"Brother....Brother have mercy on me. Look I am not even married. Please spare my life. " the hunchback said weeping on his lap. The Mafia King pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Even I am not married. I can understand your pain. Go to your room, I won't kill you. " the Mafia King said. The hunchback smiled as he sprinted towards his own room.
Nandini sat in her drawing room in the morning. She sipped her chamomile tea and kept on reading her novel. She was engrossed in her book when she heard the doorbell ringing. She kept the book aside and strolled towards the door. She opened the door to find a courier boy standing there.
"Yes. " she said confused. The courier boy directed the bouquet of roses towards her.
"This is for you. " he said. She hesitantly took the bouquet from his hands.
"Umm who has send this. " she asked smelling the roses.
"I don't know, I had came here to deliver the parcel in the other house but I found a man standing outside your house, he asked me to give you these. " he said as he sat on his bike and drove away. She closed the door and came inside.
"Flowers, who gave you this. " Martha asked shocked.
"I don't know, the courier boy said someone told him to give me these. " she said innocently. Martha gently took the bouquet from her hands and in the process a small note fell from the bouquet.
"A note. " Martha said as she picked up the note and started reading it.
My love,
The day I saw you for the first time, I lost my heart. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. You just don't know how madly I love you. You have just turned me insane. I just want to tell you that you are mine. Just mine. I will come very soon to take you with me and then we will live happily forever.
Your Mad lover.
Nandini hugged Martha tightly after reading the note. She was really scared. Martha enclosed her in her arms. She just couldn't understand who is the one who has written this. But whoever it may be, she knew she had to save Nandini any how because she knew that the man was deranged and dangerous and can go to any extreme to have her.
