Chapter 60: Chapter 60
At Theresa's maternal grandparents home.
Yuvraj Sharma and his wife, Priya Sharma, have almost turned India and Germany upside down in search of 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 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 just 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 unserious youth who even had time to cross his legs and admire his surroundings, 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 ransom. 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 Sandz 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 hundred 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, looking flustered. But if you look closely, you would see mockery in her eyes.
Yuvraj wanted to sigh because of this girl. Playing tricks again?
"You b*tch! How dare you... um... I... where's the bathroom?" the youth 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,
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 super long forked tongues 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.
Ha! To think he, Yuvraj Sharma would be so afraid one day!
He had begun to sweat heavily like he was drenched with water. His throat also became parched at an alarming rate.
"What the... this is the real deal and I offended him? To think I viewed him as a scammer!" Yuvraj was regretting his impulsive action earlier or else he wouldn't end up like this. He wanted to plead for mercy but found his voice had been sealed.
The seven snake heads drew closer to Yuvraj. He could swear that he would soon pee in his pants. How embarrassing if that really happened!
SSSSS! SSSSS!
"Please, Mr. Naag don't eat me. I'm not healthy food. I'm already old and dry. I'm even sour. Please, don't offend your majestic fangs. Don't eat me. Don't eat me!" he pleaded internally.
The seven heads retreated from him and just when he wanted to sigh in relief, they suddenly came back in less than a second making Yuvraj faint. There was mockery in Aqualino's eyes.
"Hehe... such a weak old man. You are indeed not good for food." he muttered.
At this moment, the door opened and the maid he had drIven away earlier, came back with a long stick only to see this amazing sight.
She covered her mouth and quickly retreated. Aqualino who was lost in thought was unaware of this.
When the maid came back, she was carrying a plastic bottle that contained an unknown powder. When Aqualino finally noticed her, she had poured much of the powder on his tail.
"Damn it!" he quickly recalled his tail, leaving Yuvraj on the floor.
"You stupid snake. I know your secret. You are scared of bael leaf so take it." she added more on his snake body, forcing him to coil.
"You ate my guest and wanna kill my uncle? Your not leaving here alive. Die!" she finished all the powder on Aqualino's body and then used the stick to whip his body. Surprisingly, he couldn't even fight back. What was going on? Ah, this evil girl even added pepper to the powder. He wanted to kill her. When he came here, he had no intention to kill but this girl deserved to die.
Unable to take it anymore, he changed back to human.
"Ah, so you are really a Naag. You even dare to shape shift into our late guest that you ate. Come eat my stick!" the girl kept hitting and hitting.
Yuvraj woke up to meet this scene and had to rub his eyes many times. Where was that domineering Naag? What he's seeing is a man been beaten badly by his niece. Ha! What a twist.
"Meera dear. Don't hit him anymore. He's our guest!" Yuvraj took the stick from her.
"Guest? No, he's eaten our guest. He has to die. Hurry, get your gun and let's shoot him at his crotch before blowing his brains out. Hurry!" Meera urged.
Sigh!
He was to blame for spoiling her too much.
"No, he's really our guest. Besides, he is not clothed. Turn around and go arrange some clothes for him." Yuvraj patted her gently.
"Okay uncle. You are the best." she happily jogged away and Yuvraj sighed again before looking at the naked youth.
He had solid eight packs, very fair skin and a member that made Yuvraj widen his eyes for a moment before coughing to cover up his actions.
"Eh, Mr. Aqualino, I'm sorry for my niece's actions. She didn't mean it." Yuvraj apologized but Aqualino scoffed.
"You are happy I was beaten like this? Hmph! I'll teach her a lesson when I've recovered." he spat.
"Ok. But for now, please answer my questions. Where is my son-in-law?"
"Old man, I told you to start from space. They aren't on Earth anymore. They aren't even in the milky way. Now will you get me clothed? You don't know what I feel right now. Only my mate is supposed to see my nakedness but look, you and that demon girl have seen it! Tell me, how do I face my mate in the future?" Aqualino spat again.
"Eh, you can marry her. Look my niece may look skinny but she's good. She's got shape, beauty, everything a woman needs to have. She's not a bad girl." Yuvraj advertised.
"You shameless old man. I should have known I'd kick an iron wall when I get here. Even if your daughter is the only girl in the world, I won't marry her." Aqualino was pissed and even hissed.
"You can wear my shirt until..."
"No, I don't wanna become old,"
Sigh! Yuvraj felt he wasn't getting anywhere.
In no time, Meera came again with clothes meant for a young girl. She threw a tank top, a black bum short and hair band.
"There. Wear it, Mr. Naag!" she stuck out her tongue at him and even landed a kick at his bare butt.
"How dare you have fairer skin? Take this!" with that Aqualino received another round of beating from Meera.
Not that he bled but her beatings felt painful. He suddenly felt sorrowful for her husband.
"Enough!"
He stood up in all his glory and shot a venom ball towards her unexpectedly, shocking Yuvraj and Meera who felt she was about to die.
But a miracle happened! A green shield appeared around her and dissolved the venom ball to wisps.
"What?" Aqualino's eyes widened in disbelief.
No wonder, he couldn't fight her earlier. She was his... his... MATE?
He immediately fainted.
