Chapter 3
"I'm telling you Anna! It's too dangerous! Change your mind! Let's think of another idea... Oh no why are you searching all mafia dons? These are all international dons! Please don't! Let's just check out local Dons and we would exaggerate him, alright!! " Maddy was trying to manipulate her but she was all set for it and wasn't listening him while searching for international Underworld criminals.
" No no no.. why are you reading articles about the King, no dear you can't!! Anna, choose any of the underworld criminals but not him, not this man, he is the most cruel and dangerous man in the whole Asia! Like his name he is the king of the Mafia industry! You just can't afford to see him! It is said that the people who manages to see him returns in coffin! He doesn't like to see people, left alone having conversation with him. " said Maddy in one breath as he was really stressed, he knew that Anna could do anything once she decided.
" Then that's final, I will record his interview, everyone would be shocked and our channel's TRP would break the record " said Anna while closing his laptop.
" Haha.. It's more than impossible baby, there are more than eleven countries who wants to know more about his secret life, almost all the top reporters of each country tried to cover him, but all of them failed, they couldn't even meet him or take a single picture of him, that's why his pictures are also unavailable, it is rumoured that once a reporter bothered his dinner for interview and next day his people found his dead body in front of King's mansion, after that day no one dare to cover any news about him. " Maddy explained with serious face, thinking that she might change her mood.
" Seems like this man is really impossible, then let's wait for me to make him possible " she said while winking, he sighed.
They were busy in their conversation when her phone rang, she then came little bit aside to receive her phone. After hanging up her phone she came back to Maddy
" Woahh.. Did you tell your boy friend to prepare a coffin for you as you are going for a suicidal mission ? " he said jokingly.
" Oh Come on Maddy! He is not my bf, we are just friend " Anna said lazily.
" Oh Please ! Don't lie to me! If you are just friends then why you always walk aside for receiving his calls! Huh, you think I don't understand! Darling I'm the principal of the school in which you study these tricks and lie " said Maddy.
" Okay head master Maddy, you are really very smart, then let's talk about you and our boss, Mmm.. "
Before she could complete herself Maddy covered her mouth with his hand.
" Girl what nonsense are you talking about, What could be between me and that flipper Arnav, huh " he said in rage.
" That's what I want to know Maddy, why do you always become angry whenever someone mentions him, and you always call him flipper or a man who doesn't keep his promises, did he break any promise to you, huh? " she asked while looking deeply at him. He then avoided the eye contact and said
" Haha.. you are thinking too much dear, he is just too annoying, I just don't like him and that's it! Why are you wasting time here, let's prepare for our departure, " he said, trying to divert her mind while she nodded.
Next day,
*Arnav's cabin*
" You! You are here! Sit " Said Arnav and a deep smile appeared on his lips while looking deeply at Maddy.
" I'm here for something urgent BOSS " said Maddy while looking at his watch, which darkened Arnav's face, his smile disappeared.
" We are alone here, you don't need to call me boss, just call me Arnav " said Arnav, a deep sorrow could easily be seen in his eyes.
" I'm sorry but it's not appropriate Sir by calling you by your name. " Maddy replied firmly.
" Mad! Why can't you be... "
" Ahmm Ahmm, May I come in sir " asked Anna after taking at least five steps inside while Arnav clenched his fists looking at her with unhappiness and said
" You are already in, Anna "
" Oops " she said innocently and then sat down on the chair beside Maddy by putting her legs on the table.
" We are actually here for your permission to go abroad to collect some really mind blowing news " said Anna and then told him her plans.
" Although, you chose a really interesting topic and I'm giving you my full support but it's still too dangerous Anna, be careful " he said while signing the documents given by her.
" Don't worry sir, she is not alone, I'm going with her " said Maddy while Arnav's hand paused on the documents and then he looked up at him with worried eyes
" You, you are also going with her? How could you not value your life, huh, you wanna die in the hands of that Mafia king, hah? " Arnav shouted while Anna was continuously looking at him with stunned eyes.
" I'm glad that our boss cares about us so much, but don't worry boss! We would be extra careful okay, right Anna? " Maddy said immediately.
" Yes of coarse, I'm worried about both of you, both of you " said Arnav, but his words were lacking confidence while Anna was staring dumbfoundedly, she was feeling like a third wheel and started yawing.
" Ahh.. I'm leaving boss! you two please continue to mention your worries and gratitude.. Ahhh.. " She then came out from his cabin leaving behind two of them, however Maddy didn't stay longer and chase after her too.
Chapter 4
#Russia#
#In King's mansion#
" Is there anyone else who has questions on this presentation? "
A man dressed in grey suit asked boldly while a group of men sitting around a circular table were as silent as dead body, continuously staring at the man lying on the floor lifeless who has been shot dead few minutes ago whose crime was just asking " What benefit I would get if I will cooperate with king?"
Only by asking this question the man dressed in grey shot three bullets directly into his chest though he was dead in one, as it was the style of King to leave three bullets in his enemy's chest and so his men.
" If no one is saying
anything then King will understand that you guys are not agree with him and then.. "
Before he could complete his sentence, all of them rushed towards that man and grabbed the papers he was holding and started signing.
"How, how could it be Mr Peter, of course we, we are agree with him "
" Yes, we, we are like a family, how can we reject him "
" It's too nice of him t, to offer us such a deal to make profit from it.. haha we are so happy "
All of them started flattering him but the truth was all of them were scared to death from the man who was sitting in the dark shadow, wearing a black suit with black goggles, playing with a filled rifle in his hand. His face was not visible to them but his figure was enough to haunt them to death.
" Peter.. "
He called his assistant and then the man in grey suit nodded and then faced to the group of men.
"King is happy that you guys are wise, actually he is peace minded person, he doesn't like to see the villa being dirty with blood. It would be so bad to see this villa in a pool of blood if you guys would have not signed the contract, but luckily you are all wise people "
The man in grey suit, Peter, said with a gentle smile, but his each and every actions were passing chill over their spine. Some of them were swallowing their own saliva, some of them were shaking on the floor while some of them were trying hard to hold their pee.
" The contract is already signed, what are you guys waiting for! Do you want King himself saying goodbye to all of you? "
As soon as Peter said this, all of them rushed towards the door and kept running until they reached their cars.
***
" Haha.. these bunches of fools! King, From where do you get these fools! They were so much afraid that I could see one of them was about to pee here.. haha "
A man in his fortys said while laughing, two men joined him in the laughter where as the man who was sitting in a large moving chair, dressed in black, was still silent, his facial expression was as deep as ocean, no one could tell what he was thinking right now.
" So, Mr Marcus thinks that, that men were fools because they were afraid of nothing? What if I say that those were really a wise people to be afraid of me? "
As soon as he said, his men pointed gun towards the three men who were laughing few minutes ago. Though his words were not serious but his expression was not like the joke too. All of them immediately stopped laughing and stared at him with frightened yet shocked eyes.
" Haha.. I didn't expect that King also like to joke.. haha.. tell your men to put down their guns, we are already afraid of you, you don't need to do it "
One of them said while laughing but he was the wise person to cool down the Mafia king and also save his reputation.
" I like this old man " said King while raising up the corner of his lips, glancing at Peter and then his men put away their guns from these men's head. All of them took a sigh of relief while one of them said
" Now let's come back to our business.. I'm currently the underworld Don of my country Dubai, everyone is afraid of my name there, there are many illegal business that I run there and no one dare to question me.. Now you want to expand your business in my country, so let's discuss the ins and outs of this partnership... "
***
" Th.. think twice Anna, do you really want to do this? " Asked Maddy while stuttering.
" Didn't we already discuss it ten times before? What's the use of asking this after coming Russia from India? " said Anna while staring at the King's mansion through her telescope.
" Oh god please save me! If I could go back my country safe, I would feed ten.. no hundreds of beggar.. If couldn't go back alive then please forgive me for my misdeeds... God please save me.. "
Maddy started mumbling while Anna pinched him.
" What are you doing Maddy, let's focus on our work.. see, it seems like there is a meeting of some underworld criminals.. I just saw few people running out from his mansion, but why do I feel they all were looking frightened.. " she said.
" Then what do you think they should look like after meeting the Mafia king of Asian criminal world, huh, he must have threatened them in order to make some one person profitable deal with them. " he said in one breath, still receiting few hymns in his mind while Anna looked at him with stunned eyes.
" Woahh.. you are so smart.. How do You know so much about these mafia Dons, Did you belong to any of the Mafia gang too.. " She asked.
" Hah! Girl even your flattering words can't make my heart relax.. Can't you see I'm not feeling well.. " He yelled
" My dear Anna.. let's go back " he then requested with soft voice but it had no effect on her, she was still looking in the direction of King's Villa.
Chapter 5
" Why is this area empty.. there isn't a single home, not even a small shop "
Anna said, still looking at the two guards outside the king's mansion through her telescope, Maddy was trying to hide himself properly behind the tree so that the guards couldn't see them.
" Silly girl!! What's so unusual in it? Who could dare to build their residence near the residence of mafia king,... wait a sec.. see there is a small shop, let's go there and keep an eye here from that shop, what say?" Said Maddy while pointing at a coffee shop that was few steps away from them, Anna nodded and then they came to the coffee shop.
As expected it was also empty, only an old man was present who was the owner of this shop.
" Ah.. this coffee is so good.. " Maddy said after taking one sip of the coffee, old man didn't say anything.
" Why is this man so strange, I was complimenting him and he just ignored it, did you see? " Maddy complained.
" Sshh.. " Anna pointed him to shut down his mouth and then looked up at the coffee owner and said
" Old grandpa! Aren't you afraid ? Aa.. I mean there isn't any shop, not even a single home, probably because of the residence of the Mafia king, but you are still here.. Aren't you afraid of him?"
She asked while Maddy also looked up at him with serious face. That old man then looked up at Anna carefully and said
" I'm too old to be afraid of death dear, thanks for your concern little girl, in return I have an advice for you " he said looking deeply at her.
Anna and Maddy glanced at each other and then again looked up at him, little bit more seriously.
" Drop the idea of meeting him and getting any news of him. " he said while Anna and Maddy again glanced at each other with stunned eyes and then spoke in unison
" How do you know that we are reporters? "
" Haha.. kids I told you I'm too old, so obviously I have some experience and what's more the only people who usually come here are all reporters from different countries. However, all of them ran away with frightened face, god knows what tortures they suffered inside his mansion. And the conditions of girls are more worst"
He said with extremely serious aura while Maddy asked in haste
" Did you see him personally? How does he look like ? Is he sexy? Is he hot and muscular? "
The old man then shot a cold glanced over his body and stared at him with stunned eyes. While Anna pinched at him.
" Oouch.. what are you doing? It hurts "
He mumbled.
" Didn't you tell me that it's your top secret and you don't want me to reveal it to anyone then why do you always forgive how to behave like a man ? " Anna said while pursing her lips.
" Uff baby.. here is no one except this old man.. I'm sure he is not going to announce the whole world that i'm a gay so at least let me enjoy here " he said while winking at her.
Yes, he was a gay but no one knows about it except his parents and few friends, it's not because he was ashamed of himself, its because he likes to manipulate people, and enjoy fooling around men. Sometimes he used to tease his friends by hanging out with their girlfriends and there were many more things to enjoy by pretending to be a straight guy.
" No, I didn't see him either and it is said that no one is alive after seeing him in person " old man said calmly.
" What were you telling about girls that their conditions are worst? "
She asked, and he sighed sadly.
" I feel so dizzy and uncomfortable to tell you how he behaved with girls.. " old man said while closing his eyes and moving his head, it seemed like he was disgusted by recognizing some scenes while Anna swallowed her saliva.
" I was telling you that we should not come here, it's too dangerous.. " Maddy said while staring at her. She didn't look at him and asked the old man while stuttering
" What, what does he do with girls? "
" Once a girl had come to my shop, and she said that she was going to King's villa, I had advised her not to go there too, but she didn't listen to me, and then next day.. next day I saw her dead body was lying along the road side, her face was burnt by cigarette, there were many cut marks on her body.. I can't explain how disfigured she was... I have seen many dead bodies before,but this one's condition wass much miserable. But she was not the only one, after her another girl came, whose body was cut into pieces and was thrown to the garbage... and then after few more cases I realized that this King has some grudges with girls that's why their dead bodies conditions were always worst than a man's dead body. " the old man said calmly while a chill was running all over her body and Maddy was frozen with his mouth opened with o shape. After few minutes, he closed his mouth and then looked up at Anna and said
" That's it, We are going back, and there will be no arguments Anna.. I said we are going means we are going.. understand, this time I will not listen to you " He was continuously speaking while standing up from his seat.
"Okay, let's go back " she said.
" No.. I'm telling you, its a suicidal mission and I can't let you die.. wait.. what did you say? "
He said in one breathe.
" Yes, I said, let's go back.. now fine? " she said while smiling. Maddy took a sigh of relief and said
" Girl you finally understand.. Good.. let's find a hotel for tonight and then we will go back tomorrow !! Hey, old man ! Is there any hotel near by? "
The old man stared at him coldly and then looked up at Anna and said
" Hotels are far away from here and it's difficult to find any cab here as no one usually come here.. but, my shop has enough space, if you want, you can stay here, but only for one night " he said while both of them nodded happily and thanked him.
" This grandpa is so kind, isn't he? " Anna said to Maddy while he pouted his face with dissatisfaction.
" What kind? He is so rude! Didn't you see how he rejected me every time, he always had ugly face towards me, huh " He said while Anna laughed out loudly then said
" No matter what, but he provided us a place and a set of bedding, so we should be thankful to him, now let's sleep we would have to rise up early " said Anna
" Mmm.. good night " Maddy said while laying down on his bed.
" Uff.. this blanket is too small, I'm unable to cover my whole body through it, did he intentionally give this to me to irritate me whole night" he yelled.
" Maddy please sleep now, don't nag at midnight" she said while yawning where as he took a deep breath and then covered himself from head to thigh and then fell asleep after few minutes.
As soon as he fell asleep, Anna get up from her bed that was beside his and came to him.
" Sorry Maddy, I lied to you, it's because I don't want to drag you in this Mafias matters as I realized now how dangerous it could be, but I can't give up either.. I must complete my mission "
she said while covering him with her blanket and then came out from the shop.
