PYTHON

A night spent together....

"Oh I pity her......." Mary whispered as she peeked inside the half ajar door finding madhushree softly crying.
"Ye python mujhe heart attack dilwa ke hi dum lega......tum dekhna ek din madhu ka naam japte japte ye Kshatriya se pandit ho jaayega......." Raghu spoke up in disdain. Mary glared at him.
"Stop with that already you duck head, Sir loves her so much!!!! She's here since last night and Sir has stayed within his limits.......don't you think it's adorable!!!!" Mary defended python. Raghu gaped at her.
"Adorable!!!! My Goodness........it's ghastly Mrs. Mary Garcia.......just look, she's crying since morning!!!! And where the hell is python.......I can't find him in the bungalow!!!!" raghu stated. Mary rolled her eyes.
"He's outside I believe......" she said casually.
"Outside where???? In the golf course.......I don't think, I saw the course empty when I came in!!! Is he touring the orchards????" raghu asked. Mary shook her head lightly.
"I don't know.......but why are you so antsy......" asked she.
"Am not I his PA!!!! Besides, I have to discuss with him regarding the new Vayu model, I believe he has wrapped up quite a lot of work in it.......Last time when I asked him, he was working on fixing some AI stuff in it!!!! Said it was going to be the most safest car in the world.......I don't know what he's upto usually!!!!" raghu muttered tiredly. Mary sighed.
"I know.......Raghu why don't you go and ask her what she would fancy in lunch....." suggested Mary. Raghu was reluctant at first but then he agreed. He rapped at the door and entered.
"Um Good Afternoon, I'm Raghu.......Mr. Python's PA!!!" raghu tried hard to not sound awkward. Madhushree peeked at him through her wet eyelashes. She sniffed.
"Yes....." she said still sniffling. Raghu cleared his throat.
"What would you like for lunch today.........." he asked politely.
"I don't want anything......I'm not hungry!!!!" she told him. Raghu shook his head.
"Ok if you aren't hungry now but I believe you'll be in the next few hours certainly.......besides skipping meals isn't a good thing, you need energy after all!!!" raghu explained to her.
"Keeping somebody immured is also not a good thing......why don't you tell this to your boss!!!!" she cried. Raghu chuckled.
"Goodness!!! Um, perhaps you're a little more upset with python than I supposed you were!!! Anyways, do you know even I'm chagrined with python!!!!" he tried to build up a conversation. She innocently stepped into his non-detrimental trap.
"Why????" she asked wiping her tears.
"Oh Lord!!!! Where should I start from........you know he has this bad habit of eating on bed, and leaving damp towels on the duvets!!!!" raghu told her, she scrunched her nose in disgust and that's when raghu noticed that her nose was slightly longer than usual noses but it gave an exceptionally beautiful appearance to her visage. Besides, raghu had heard somewhere regarding the religious meaning behind long and sharp noses, people with immense self-esteem and self-respect have long noses. Now back to the present.
"That's horrible......." she exclaimed. Raghu sighed.
"Yes and he roams in the entire edifice in mere boxers.......tell me, should any cultivated man do this!!!! He's shameless, I'm telling you!!!!" raghu's voice was surprisingly so convincing that madhushree bought everything he sold. Besides, he wasn't lying, python might be a billionaire but his daily habits are just like any common man, simple and sometimes strongly unhygienic.
"Hawww!!!! That's so bad......He should put some clothes on while he's moving around!!!!" she said and raghu nodded.
"Ah!!! He's just so brazen most of the times!!!! He even has a funny dressing style......"
"I DO NOT!!!!" wasn't this voice familiar. The gossiping heads fearfully turned towards the door to find python glaring daggers at raghu. Raghu had his breath hitched as python entered inside.
"Ok.......so that's how you belittle me infront of my wife!!!!" python yelled at Raghu. Madhushree glared at him.
"But he wasn't lying.......you do have unhygienic habits, if not a bad dressing style!!!!" she defended raghu. Raghu grinned as he knew python would certainly won't go against her.
"Baby please.......I don't have unhygienic habits.......Tell me, eating food on bed is unhygienic.......no!!! It's not!!!!!! And I leave damp towels on the bed because it's easy to find it there........what's wrong in that!!!!" python sulkily said. Madhushree gave him a gross look.
"Eww......this is all so unhygienic!!!! Eating on bed is bad manners and so is leaving towels on the bed!!!!" she stated with a sense of superiority. Python whined.
"Why all easy and better things are counted in bad manners????? Can't a man eat on bed.......it's so convenient to me!!!" he mumbled under his breath.
"And he even wipes his hands on his shirt......" raghu came up with one more with a smirk and python glared at him badly.
"Ewwwww........gross!!!! I thought old man are hygienic!!!!" madhushree chuckled and raghu burst out into laughter while python gaped at her.
"I am not old........." he was sulking.
"What do you call a man who has crossed 4 decades......." raghu said in between his laughter. Madhushree laughed along with him as they both made fun of the sulking hulk. Python wrapped his arm around raghu's neck and started dragging him out.
"I'll see you later baby........I need to take care of a foul mouth first......" he hissed as raghu yelped under his grip as he dragged him out. Madhushree who was laughing all the while found it hard to stop herself.
"Oh God!!!! I have never laughed so much in my entire life!!!!" she laughed holding her stomach. But then suddenly tears came into her eyes though she still laughed as she remembered the days with her family. There weren't many occasions when she was gifted with laughters, sometimes she laughed a little with her brother or with deepali but never with anybody else. But that's what scared her. The laughter which her family couldn't afford to give her in 18 years, this man gave it in just an hour. And she feared if her heart starts softening for him.
