The Message Delivered!!
PART 1
In the evening, "Oho... Why this lock jams every time? Everybody is hell bent to irritate me!! Urrgghhh..." scorned Madhu as she twiddled her flat's key in the key hole in utter irritation. Suddenly her cell phone buzzed. She took it out from her jeans pocket and hissed more on seeing the caller's name. After a stare of one good minute on the screen, she reluctantly received the call. "Now what?" "Where are you, sweetheart!?" Madhu could easily figure out a mischievous simper on his face through his husky, flirty voice. "And where do you expect me to be, RK? Look, don't irritate me now... I am too busy with this... Urrgghhh... What the hell is wrong with you bloody lock??!" She jerked the key disdainfully, simultaneously spurning at RK too. "Relax darling!! Just call my name with love and see the magic then..." The rusted lock was already pissing her off and there, RK was getting too flirtatious. While twisting the key in the keyhole again she vexed at him, "RK... Please yaar!!" Suddenly, the lock opened. "OMG! It opened! RK... it opened!!" "I told you na... RK has that magic, love!!" Madhu hurriedly rushed inside relieved and threw herself on the bean bag. "Yeah Yeah... Why did you call me by the way?" "To check if you are still angry!" "Of course I AM... Rishabh Kundra! After so much leg pulling from you in the office, do you still expect me to be normal!!?" She snapped bluntly. "It was just a prank, Madhu!" vindicated RK. "I wasn't mocking at you baby! You know I love you!!" Her lips automatically curved with a fragile smile. Madhu knew it very well- how much RK loves her! Since the day he had joined the firm as her co- employee, an involuntary bond grew between them which slowly budded love in their hearts. But when it comes to keep your lady love happy, it takes lot of efforts and unfortunately today, poor Kundra did a blunder. Their entire group had a candid time in pulling her legs and RK too joined them. It was obvious for him to face her ire then. Madhu still tried to hold her angry voice to tease him, "No you don't!! No one does that to his love!!" "OK fine!" He sighed. "Go and login to your mail account!! You've got a mail, sweetheart!!" She sat up straight in perplex. "What is it?" "It's a bunch of videos of yesterday's bash at Aryan's place! I guess you remember last night, Madhu!!" She could again sense his flirtatious vox. Her face automatically flushed in redness. His naughty erotic sighs were teasing her a lot. "Aaahhh... I wish I could have got the video of O.U.R. moments... Right darling!!?" Madhu immediately gasped in haw. "Shut up RK! You didn't record anything... Right?" "Ahaaannn... Madhubala getting scared hunn!!" He smirked playfully. "Love... You didn't give me a moment to breathe... how come I could record anything hunn... You're too fast hunn..." "Just stop now RK!" Madhu was blushing profusely by now and his provocative words were adding more redness to her face. "Now stop blushing Miss Malik and check the mail. We are there in almost every video... thanks to your love for camera!! OK, now I am hanging up! Bye sweetheart!" "Haww! You won't please me now!!?? I am still angry, RK!" pouted Madhu. "Still?? Dramebaazzz..." She giggled hearing it. "OK. What do you want me to do?" "Come to my place... NOW!!" RK could feel the seduction in her voice. "Ahaaannn... And what about your room mates?" "Nobody is here till tomorrow... Mr Kundra!!" she whispered salaciously. "Coming in half an hour, baby!!" "I am waiting!"
Madhu bounced to her nearby desktop and switched it on. The light of the computer screen shone her face. She quickly connected the Wi-Fi and logged into her mail account. The screen read Loading...' as an increasing blue bar beneath the word. "The net speed sucks big time today! How am I going to download the videos!?" She leaped up in chafe and went to get herself a coffee while it completes the loading. Within few minutes, Madhu came hurriedly to the PC. The blue hyperlink Inbox' was showing an unread new mail through the number in its adjacent brackets. "You befool me again RK!" riled Madhu, seeing the mail's subject from his account- DOWNLOAD MP3'... "Stupid Kundra... How can he forget the difference between audio and video formats??!! Which video runs with .mp3 extension!?! Silly!! You just come here RK... I won't spare you now!!" With the same angry gumption, Madhu needlessly moved her cursor and clicked the unread mail. Seeing the mp3 link, she got vexed all the more. How much excited she was for watching her videos with her Idiot Kundra but this audio link ruined her day dreams already!! She annoyingly clicked it to download. Moments later, as it finished, Madhu played it. Some hazy noise began to play. Madhu rolled her eyes in chafe, "Fine! Here goes nothing!!" She grabbed a pair of earphones lying next to her, placed them on her ears and played the audio again. The mp3 began with some static white noise. "What rubbish it is!!" She was about to remove the earphones when a blur sound started. Madhu tried to catch it curiously. Some whispers were heard- though indistinguishable as to what was being said. Madhu got a little apprehensive with this unusual recording. She pushed the ear plugs more into her ears to get the sound clear but it didn't help. Suddenly, more and more whispers started to overlap one another, getting louder and louder which made her more disquieted. Following it, an electronic fuzz occurred- Madhu stood up slightly from her chair, sweated with strange terrifying sounds. Immediately, a loud horrifying scream pierced through the fuzz. Madhu quickly pulled out her plugs, panicked and stepped back from the computer. Visible sweat droplets were there on her face and her breath was pouncing fast with fear.
The audio file was still playing- the computer speakers were blaring the terrific noises throughout the room. Madhu quickly dashed on the mouse to stop playing it and clicked SHUT DOWN' to turn the PC off. As the screen went black, she tried to breath in relief. Madhu wiped off her sweat drops through her shoulder in comfort but suddenly she saw the computer rebooting itself. "What the hell??!! Just turn off!!" She damned the CPU enraged. Finally, it got shut down. Madhu at last sighed in consolation when she sensed something. She looked up at the computer screen and saw a silhouette of a man behind her. She quickly whipped around in horror but saw nothing. "What the hell is happening?" Her voice had now went weaker and eyes moistened in helplessness. "M.A.D.H.U.B.A.L.A...!!" A hoarse manly voice grunted slowly near her ear. Madhu turned back in scream but saw no one again. Those brimmed droplets slid down on her cheeks in extreme threat. She promptly ran from the living room hysterically and tried to make it to the exit door. The moment she tried to twist the door lock, the light started flickering ON and OFF throughout her flat's rooms. Madhu constantly tried to push the door but it felt to be somehow blocked from outside. Affright tears were flowing profusely through her fearful eyes. She was banging helplessly on the door, shouting but nothing was helping her out. Suddenly the lights turned off. Entire house got doused in pure darkness. Madhu terrifyingly slid down on the floor against the wooden door, breathing heavily in terrible scare. She huddled in the nearby corner, looped herself in her knees and cried... cried aloud so that at least a single human could hear her helpless sobs. "Please come soon... RK! Please!!!" All she could utter was his name... RK!! She badly needed him to be with her now!! Madhu hid her face in her knees with eyes twitched- like a pigeon who opts this way so as to save itself from the threat and feels safe but the reality... Well... it's not always in its favour!! Suddenly the lights turned ON. "Madhu..." she again heard the same gruffish virile whisper near her ear. Madhu promptly looked up horrified. "R...K...!!" He was sitting near her... with a mischievous simper donned on his face and impish brown eyes- staring directly at her. Seeing her saviour right next to her, Madhu immediately hugged him tightly and cried aloud. "Please. Save me RK!!! Take me out from here... Please!!" "That's what I have come here for... Madhu... ba..laa...!!" With the same crusty voice, he slowly caressed her hair. But before she could understand anything, he rived her hair back too forcibly. Madhu winced in extreme pain- her eyes trying to look at his wicked face. "R...KKk... What are you..." Before she could complete, he lifted her up by her throat- choking her breath. He was constantly staring at her with an evilly grin and his eyes turning red now..! "What... What... do you... want??!!" She uttered in suffocation. RK cocked his head sideways and spoke in a malevolent, demonic voice, "Y.O.U...!!!" The lights switched off suddenly again and a sharp feminine scream blew there in the room followed by a pure silence...
RK excitedly combed his hair in the rear mirror; took up the rose bouquet from the back seat and stepped out from his car with an aroused sigh!! He looked up at the building and spoke sexily, "Your man is here, sweetheart!! I am coming!!" and he ran inside hurriedly.
RK rang the doorbell and trailed over his gelled hair one last time before he faces his lady love. Nobody opened the door yet so he rang the bell again. "C'mon Madhu! Open the door, darling!! I am on time yaar..." He exclaimed but didn't get any reply. He got a little apprehensive now. Why isn't she opening? She never do that!! With a little suspicion, he curiously knocked the door but to his surprise, it slowly opened ajar. RK pushed the door tardily and saw a dense darkness and silence all around. "Madhu!!" He called out in concern. He was walking inside slyly due to the blackout. Abruptly, the lights turned ON. RK acutely looked all around and saw fresh blood spread all over the floor. "What the...?" He got impinged into extreme shock and terror. "Madhu!!" he exclaimed aloud in deep fear for her. "Where are you Madhu? Please come out, baby! See, I am here... your RK!" He was about to move to her bedroom when a blood drenched eyeball came rolling out and stopped near his shoe tip. He started breathing heavily seeing it entailed with a nerve and fresh blood oozing out from it!! Scared tears fell down. Before he could react, suddenly, he saw the computer screen turning white and then to Madhu's email account page. A pop up box appeared and it read... "MESSAGE from rishabhkundraRK@xxx.com DELIEVERED!!"
