Chapter 32

Demyan Point of View What the heck should I take this girl for? I'm so happy she saved my life. I might not be able express my gratitude verbally but I am really thankful. Sincerely Thankful! But… but why should she act like an FBI and go on a field work? I am not against saving my life, but it hurt my ego that she went overboard in it by going all adventurous and interrogative. Not to mention she actually brought a cop with her and changed the poisoned bowls before him. Did she think doing a wrong thing under legal surveillance can be right by default? But then, how can I even make sense in to her brain when she so talently handled the situation? It was foolish but effective too, so no comments. "And he told you the information just because you shared your f**king strawberry flavor lollipop with him?" Egor questioned in disbelief and Zinnia smiled towards the phone as if Egor can see her smile from the other part of the world. "No, I gave him a blueberry lollipop. I hate strawberry. I love mango and blueberry. You know Mr. Egor, sometimes blueberry reminds me of Mr. Monk. He's so small and cute." I AM NOT SMALL. YOU WERE CRYING OUT OF YOUR LUNGS LAST NIGHT BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T ACCOMMODATE ME. I am not small, damn it. This girl cannot keep her mouth shut for a minute. I know she meant it in a straight and innocent way but to the sane world, it appears as if my downtown man is suffering from height problems. I heard Egor burst into laughs, not missing any chance to put me in an awkward position. It has been fifteen minutes since I heard I was… small and Egor is still laughing out loud while Zinnia asked me for hundred times why he was laughing so much. What can I say? How can I say why he was laughing so much? How can I with my own mouth about my…! "Now, that's some news. I didn't know Dem baby is small. How did you manage you show the bulge Dem, were you using balloons?" Egor said in chuckles finally after he completed laughing at my expense. Heavens! "Shut up Egor. Zinnia, just tell me how you got information from." I tried to change the topic so I could save the last bit of my pride. If this topic goes on for two more minutes, Zinnia and Egor can even make me no – balloon from small – balloon. Shit! "Ah yes, I just pulled him to the bench and gave him mango lollipop while I had blueberry and asked him what his name was. He said he is Peter and that's when I came to know that his boss name is Valdimir when he said. Peter looked so beaten up and sad so I shared few of the funny things happened to me to lighten up his mood."She shared her stories with him? Is she doing a emotional healing camp for depressed people? If it was my first time meeting this girl, I would have shocked out of my mind but a month of staying with her made me strong and resilient to her mind and mood. I'm proud to say I'm slowly getting used to her around me. "Once he was feeling better, I asked about his job and about his earning. He said he is a bodyguard to Valdimir guy and he works 24*7 for him yet he earns so less. You know, hubby, I felt so bad for him. He has a family too. He has a wife and an infant daughter too still he couldn't provide for his baby necessities. I felt like crying when I heard his difficulties. So I promised him to make him a partner in my new business." She was in almost tears when she said about peter, the guard. I even heard a sob when she said about peter's depressing life. Woah… this is the first time I'm seeing her cry and it was so fascinating. If I was an old Demyan then I would've taken pleasure in her tears but darn, in these previous days she had made sure to get a soft spot in my heart through her antique actions. "Are you crazy to give a stranger a deal of partnership? What new business are we talking about?" She's thinking about starting a new business and she didn't tell me yet? 'Like she said every other thing till now?' My brain retorted which made me sigh in defeat. Right. I didn't had a say in anything till now then how can I expect her to say something like this to me? Silly me! "He was a good lad so I had to put up with a deal. You are too innocent, hubby. How can you expect him to give information about his boss if he doesn't receive anything in return?" True, but she gave a partnership deal in return? "Yes true. You are so clever, Zinnia."Egor's words brought a 10000 watts bright smile on her face, "But what business are you planning to do? You want me to join you?" Egor's offer brought a frown on her now bright face. Egor, according to my wife, you are not just a beggar in her play but in real life too you are close to a beggar. I think she might as well take pity on him and take him as an employee. "Mafia business." The hell? I looked at her in disbelief and alarm. She smiled at me and jumped on the bed as if she is excited to do what she was planning. Mafia Business? What kind of business is that? Does she mean she will join mafia or Is she going to start a new gang? "What kind of business is that? Are you going to start a new mafia gang?" I asked curiously. Suppose, just suppose she really created a gang of her own then hell to the world she will make the whole united states in to insane mental people. She might as well be tagged as the most powerful don too. She might be not strong physically but her mental strength is crazily strong. "Peter said Valdimir is also a Mafia and Mr. Monk, you are a Mafia too but you are a good mafia and Valdimir is a bad mafia so I research on mafia in internet this afternoon and decided to open an institution and invent a course for being a gangster or a mafia member. It will be a university with exclusive Mafia courses and syllabus and in future only a certificate holder from our institute can become a mafia member. Like that my institute will train people into a good mafia like you." I just scoffed in disbelief. Mafia University? Mafia courses? Mafia syllabus? Mafia Certification? Mafia are not engineers or doctors that need to aim for jobs in Google, Samsung or Lamborghini companies. Foolish girl, Mafia is illegal law defying group of people who formed into groups. Heavens! What weird ideas come into her mind? But can I put some sense into her mind? No "A Mafia making university?" Egor gasped and I heard gurgling sound from other side of the phone and I know he must be leaving some profanities. "Yes. Isn't it a cool idea? And guess what, we are monopolizing the market too." Yeah Yeah, such a great idea. "Mr. Monk, you will give esteemed guest lecture every month and Mr. Egor will be a professor for the subject 'Room and Roar'. I heard Mr. Egor is a torment expert and takes care of bad habits of bad people in a closed room." This is going out of hand. "Zinnia, government doesn't allow you to start such kind of universities. What government would give their acceptance to create Mafia? You cannot get your business registered at all." Zinnia looked at me with a thoughtful face and was silent for a minute. I immediately cut Egor's call telling him I will call him tomorrow again and immediately pulled Zinnia into my arms. "I will take care of it. Don't worry. I have many sources to get my work done. But I need your help in it, hubby. I still need to make subjects and its course syllabus. Will you please tell me what all happens in a mafia group so I can make the syllabus on the basis of it?" How can she be so confident about this? Law is not a simple thing, foolish wife! Law is not Demyan Petrov that you can do whatever wants to. Sometimes I think she listens to me when I tell her calmly but most of time she just don't mind thinking at all. I need to think of something to tame her. I don't want her to listen to me in everything but I just to have control in at least thirty percent issues and I want to find a method to tame her slightly. But how? "Zinnia?" I called and she hummed in response. "I want to tame you. I want to make you listen to me. How will you do that?" I asked directly. When the issue is out of hands, there is no point in beating around bush. "I always listen to you. You ask me with so much love and I always agree to it immediately." Like heck! With love, you say? Let's see "Then I am asking you with utmost love deep from my heart, don't start this university." I said with so much sincerity in my words that even sincerity itself must've felt shy. "No." There she goes again. "Why? I asked you with love." "Ah, but it's not sufficient right now to stop me. Try to bring out some more love, Mr. Monk." What the devil bring out some more love? Am I an underground water well to be able to be able to give more as we dig? Goodness, Now what happens if she really manages to bring this university to life?
