NARRATOR'S P.O.V

December. Last month of the year. The month of December is quite exciting yet emotional. Exciting because it is the last month of the year, not to mention the day of Christmas and 31st December obviously. Howbeit the month of December is vaguely emotional too as the folks remember what they did in the entire year, what they gained and what they lost. The folks of the city were no different than the rest of the earth's populace as they too were impatiently waiting to bid this year goodbye. Churches were being decorated with lights and flowers as the day of Christmas was not too far. People from all across the world were quite eager and exuberant to celebrate the birth of Lord Jesus. Adults were happy as they will have a get together with their relatives and friends. Contrary to the boring adults, children were way very exhilarated to eat the Christmas cake. Relatives are annoying, according to kids and teenagers (That's true). However the peeps residing inside the Ahlawat Mansion including the owner, had zilch to do with this world. Christmas, New year's Eve, the residents of the Ahlawat mansion just don't give a damn. Their is only one God (Devil) they worship and he was none other than the Great Mafia Lord.

Inside the Ahlawat mansion, the Great Mafia King sat on his throne with his gang members standing in front of him and his gullible hunchback cousin standing beside him beaming like an imbecile, which he was. Howbeit something bizzare was taking place inside the mansion. A priest was sitting in the middle of the hall. It was quite peculiar for a holy man to be inside the Mansion of a beast.
"Brother see I bought this new Sherwani for your wedding. " hunchback said as he showed his Sherwani to his Elder brother. The mention of his wedding made Samrat blush.
"It's really nice Arjun. " Samrat said with a smile. The gang members in attendance inside the hall, gazed at the Mafia King in utter shock. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Did the Mafia Lord just said Arjun??? They couldn't recollect as when was the last time when he took his name. Forget the gang members the house servants were startled.
"Boss are you OK. " Chirag said agape. Samrat scrunched up his eyebrows, perplexed.
"Of course I am. Why are you asking.? " Samrat queried. Prior to Chirag could reply, a pesky sound of sobbing was heard. He looked at the source of the voice only to find Hunchback sobbing like a 3 year old.
"Why are you crying.?? " Samrat asked puzzled. Hunchback gazed at him with teary eyes.
"You don't love me brother. " he said crying like a kid. Samrat glanced at him, vexed. Hunchback sobs were unbearable.
"Are you crazy.?? " Samrat glared at him.
"No I am not. Don't you know you called me by my name. That means you don't love me anymore. I am no longer hunchback for you. You broke my heart brother. " hunchback said as he kept on crying like Shinzo from Ninja Hattori. Samrat smacked his hand on his forehead.
"Hunchback seriously. You are really annoying sometimes. " Samrat said folding his arms.
"I am annoying......Brother did you just say I am annoying......Oh my god.....Chirag did you hear it. OK brother, so now I am annoying. " he said as he sat on the chair. Samrat sighed in relief. But the relief was short lived as the Hunchback began to wail again scaring the Mafia King in the process.
"You don't love me anymore. I am not going to live in this house. No one loves me. " Hunchback said as he kept on wailing like a baby. Samrat chuckled. His brother was a cartoon. Hunchback began to walk in the other direction.
"The door is in this direction not that, shithead. " Samrat told him, endeavouring to not laugh.
"I am going to the washroom. See I told you, you don't love me. You are trying to throw me out of the house. " hunchback sobbed as he began walking towards the washroom muttering strange words under his breath.
"Idiot. " Samrat chortled.

"Can you describe the thief. " inspector asked nandini. She gazed at him innocently.
"Nanu don't get scared, tell everything. " Naksh said cupping her face. She nodded.
"He came to my room and held me from the back. I couldn't see his face because it was dark. He was saying something like I am his, I don't remember exactly. " she told the officer.
"Hmm and what has been stolen from the house. " inspector asked folding his arms.
"25,000 cash and Martha's diamond pendant. " Naksh informed him. Inspector sighed.
"Don't worry we will catch the thief soon. " Inspector said. Naksh nodded.
"Please sign here. " The constable said as he kept the FIR report in front of him. Naksh signed his statement and began to egress out of the police station. After they left, the constable came near the inspector's table.
"Sir I was on the duty last night, I saw someone entering their house." the constable said in a hushed tone. Inspector gazed at him puzzled.
"Why didn't you tell when they were here. " inspector asked.
"Sir because I saw him.......Samrat Singh Ahlawat. I saw him entering inside. " constable said softly. Inspector gaped at him, startled.
"What!!!!!!! You saw Mr Ahlawat. But why did he stole from their house. I think we should inform Mr Ahlawat that someone has filed an FIR against him. " inspector said as he got up from his chair and hastily dashed outside.
