"Madhu, we are invited to a party....!!!" said deepali scrolling through her instagram. Madhushree who was stacking up her clothes, looked at her in perplexity.
"Party.....????" Madhushree was confused. Deepali sighed and tossed her phone on the bed.
"Mukul aka Mike is organising his Birthday Party in Hotel Peaches & Truffles.....and guess what, the whole class is invited including us. And we are going to his party!!!" Deepali said with excitement like that of a toddler. Madhushree gasped as the idea of inviting the whole class to the party was simply not digestible for her. He hardly talks to anyone in the class and therefore inviting the entire class was simply pointless and bewildering.
"But deepu, I don't think it's a good idea!!!! Mike and his friends don't like us, I smell a foul play in this!!!" madhushree stated and deepali frowned at her.
"Oh C'mon madhu!!!!! You are always so paranoid. Nothing bad will happen, just come with me to the party, it will be fun......." said deepali pouting. Madhushree was yet not convinced and tried to reason with her.
"Deepu........"
"Madhu, it's final......" Deepali declared narrowing her lids at her. Madhushree sighed in defeat and nodded reluctantly to which her best friend grinned.

A bungalow bigger than big. Constructed on over 7-8 acres of land, provided with a huge enchanting garden flourished with junipers, bougainvilleas, jacarandas and few other bewitching angiosperms, a helipad on the back of the bungalow, a grand swimming pool on the first floor and much more. The monument precisely manifested the billions of the billionaire. And inside the bungalow was the billionaire himself, devoid of any shirt and apparently conversing to someone on his phone.
"Please Mr Uppalapati, you are embarrassing me.........I will never think so low of a man like you.....!!!" he chuckled on the phone as he cracked the eggs and emptied the contents into the bowl.
"I can understand Mr Uppalapati.......your payment is always on time and I know it's all because of the bank issue currently that your payment cheque was issued two days late.........You don't need to feel bad, Mr Uppalapati, it's perfectly alright.......!!!" he said whisking the eggs. Meantime Raghu entered in his bedroom with a pile of folders in his hands.
"You are my elder brother, Mr Uppalapati, please never think that I can ever think like that.......And I hope your wife and son are doing good.....!!!" he said switching on the electric stove he keeps in his bedroom. And than laughed while Raghu patiently watched everything.
"That's good......that's good.......!!!! I think you are fairly busy, I shall call later..........Thank you, take care!!!" with that he disconnected the call and by the time his omelette was also ready. Raghu smiled as he approached him.
"I believe it was Mr Uppalapati, from Nataraja Mansion......!!!" Raghu said taking a seat on a basket chair. Python chuckled and nodded.
"Due to this stupid bank issue, his payment arrived two days late and he rang me up to apologise for that......" he stopped to chuckle as he plated up his omelette and toasts.
"A disciplined man he is.........A good man, I believe. His payment is never late and that's what strengthens professional relationships, Isn't it!!!!" he poured down smoothie in his glass. Raghu chuckled.
"Perhaps you haven't heard the infamous tale of Uppalapatis......!!!" Raghu said and Python raised his brow at him.
"What does that mean???" he asked assembling his salad.
"This tale is famous in my village, the village of the uppalapatis.........Fear the uppalapati nymphs for the monster cages the beauty.....!!!" Raghu said and Python frowned at him.
"That's stupid, can't villagers keep to their own business........Why peep into the private life of uppalapatis????" he finally sat down to have his breakfast. Raghu looked at him shocked.
"Don't you think it's wrong to immure someone into your room forever!!!!" Raghu asked still gaping. Python devoured his breakfast and looked at him after a moment.
"If you love someone truly, you shall do anything to keep that person bound to you, just you!!!!" he stared right into Raghu's soul. Raghu shuddered under his vicious tone and started.
"Python whatever you said in the night was a joke right!!!!! You were drunk after all......" Raghu's anxiety was clearly visible. Python was silent for a moment but than he smirked and stared at him.
"A drunk man never lies" he stated as he stood up with the dishes. Raghu was rigid after his statement and was obviously frightened by Python's resolution. Nevertheless Raghu knew no one can stop python once he decides something, therefore he resoluted to stay mum and change the subject.
"Um........Python.......We have to visit Peaches & Truffles hotel tonight for a meeting with Mr Kundra!!!" he faltered while his soul still trembled with the mere thought of Python's madness. Python nodded as he cleaned his lips with a napkin.
