At Theresa's maternal grandparents home.
Yuvraj Sharma and his wife, Priya Sharma, have almost turned India and Germany upside now in search for their son in-law and marabelle. Marabelle's parents in Germany were at first happy that their only baby was alive but the fact that she's missing made them unable to sleep well.
They used their money to print fliers and personally handed them to people in hopes of seeing their daughter again. They'd become slim now.
Their neighbors, some of Marabelle's classmates, friends, relatives and some well-wishers also helped in the search. Now both presidents had to find two people. One well-known and the other unpopular. Sigh!
Yuvraj Sharma was very restless and kept making calls but nothing was going through. Even after hiring the best investigator in the world there was still no information. He took his glasses and looked at the roof. What the hell did he do to deserve this? They were still troubled by Theresa's disappearance and Aarti's demise. But now they also had to frantically search for Clark and Marabelle to no avail. He felt useless. His wife started drinking but he had no time to stop her. He told his trustee aides to monitor her. In his entire life, he'd never come across this sort of situation.
Suddenly, one of the servants made for him from downstairs.
" What is it?" Yuvraj asked in annoyance. Time was precious; he didn't have a second to spare even for himself.
" Master, please forgive me for my impudence but I really had to come here to tell you the news" the black-haired male servant said hastily.
"Speak!" Yuvraj Sharma commanded.
"Master, a man has come with news on Mr.Clark."
Hearing this sentence, Yuvraj immediately sat up.
" Bring him in"
"Yes, master" the servant scurried downstairs to fulfill the order.
2 minutes later, he came up with a young man with green hair. Yuvraj frowned for a moment.
' kids of these days. They never learn any good thing. All they do is shame their family. Look at this boy dying his hair to green of all colors.Despicable!' he thought but didn't show his disapproval on his face. He stood up and shook hands with the youth.
" Hello sir, nice to meet you" the youth had a rather melodious deep voice.
'Maybe he's a singer. But does he have to go to this length to be famous? I don't even know him!' Yuvraj complained internally.
" Yeah, nice to meet you, boy" he replied.
" Can I sit?" the youth asked.
" Of course you can." Both sat down opposite each other. Yuvraj sized the youth up again. He wore sneakers, blue denim jeans, a loose black top and had two earrings.
" Well let me get down to business, sir. I have a few speculations of where those two might be. They are no longer with us on Earth" the youth casually spoke like he was talking about food.
Startled, Yuvraj's eyes widened. Pointing at the rather u serious youth who even had time to cross his legs and admire his surrounding, Yuvraj stood up.
"What did you say?" he was unwilling to believe such cod swallop.
" Old man I mean Sir, I'm saying the truth. They can't be found here. But I can tell you where to begin searching. Don't worry they aren't dead" the youth said lazily.
" You! How dare you..? Do you believe I'll blow your head off right now for this insult?" Yuvraj barked.
" Feel free" the youth shrugged without a care. " But I want you to think twice about your actions."
"Fine!" Yuvraj sat again. He reasoned that this youth must be one of the kidnappers and daring to show himself here meant this was no simple matter. Or could be be a scammer? If he was, then his bones would not be enough for Lulu, his dog to eat.
"So state your price. What's the random. I want my son in-law back" he said in a lower tone after signalling all his servants to leave.
" You're quite smart but stupid. Yeah! Very stupid. Hahahaha." the youth hit his knee in laughter.
" I'm Aqualino Sands not a singer, kidnapper nor scammer old man I mean Sir"
"You..!" Yuvraj was shocked speechless. How did this boy know his thoughts.
" You are quite interesting though. If you want to search for your in-law then start from space. Visit as many planets as you can but not the milky way galaxy. That's all I can say. Your son in-law is enjoying in a magical world. So I expect the hundreds billion transferred to my account tonight. Here's my account number" the youth placed a paper on the table and stood up to leave.
" You think I'm a two year old huh? Men, arrest this fool and place him in torture room 24." he commanded.
But he heard an applause from the youth.
" Like I said old man I mean Sir, you are smart but stupid. If you can catch me then..."
The youth could say no more because he was poured water by a 'scared' maid.
" I'm sorry...so sorry Sir. It wasn't on purpose. Please... I...I am sorry" the maid apologized fl.u.s.tered. But if you look clearly you would see mockery in her eyes. Yuvraj wanted to sigh because of this girl. Playing tricks again?
" You b*tch! How dare you...where's the bathroom?" he urgently asked.
" Why? Is the cold water burning your skin?" Yuvraj asked in mockery.
" Please let me...you get lost" the youth barked.
" Yes sir" she quickly ran out and closed the door to the hall.
" I can't escape then. Sigh!" the youth muttered and fell to the floor with a gigantic golden snake tail replacing his legs.
Yuvraj was beyond words but the youth shrugged as he took out a towel from the black ring on his finger and covered his upper part where his crotch should be.
" Why stare at me like that? You don't watch the naagin series? Those rascals tails are terribly ugly. Mine is the real deal." the youth whom I will now call Aqualino said.
"You are a fish!" Yuvraj exclaimed shocking the youth.
"Fish? Are you blind old man? Which part of my tail looks like a fish?"
" If it's not then move and I'll believe that you are a naag." Yuvraj was clearly not buying it. He thought this youth was playing a trick. Heh, too bad he met the wrong person. He won't fall for this trick.
" I won't" Aqualino refused and Yuvraj made for his tail and wanted to step on it when the tail suddenly moved and coiled around him. He felt it increase in size and length and then when he turned his head to look at Aqualino, he was speechless. Looking at him was a seven headed serpent with the middle or main head in black color. All seven heads let out their fangs and they nearly touched him.
He didn't dare shout. Gosh! What rotten luck he has today.
Note: a naag is a snake man. Go watch the horror thriller naagin series that is if you have the heart. Hehe.
