In my Devil's Arms

The anticlimactic entry that Raj made at Junagarh was just the beginning. The people in the palace, the ministers and Her highness queen Kamini Singh Thakur were in for a roller coaster ride.

" Dude that was f*cking awesome", said Maddy after they bathed and freshened up later on.

" We should have recorded", said Parry.

" Well there is always next time", said Ro.

" There will be many more next times", said a determined Raj.

" Yeah those stunned faces", said Solly.

" Well we stopped the party", smirked Raj.

" And destroyed the carpet", said Ro biting off an apple.

" The destruction my friend has just begun. By the time we leave the money, power and status this kingdom boast of will crumble to the soil", he said.

Meanwhile

Randheer was on a call with Ramcharan .

" I saw destruction in his eyes Ram. The anger which he masked pretty well, the disdain for the people here and the will to annhilate everything that comes in his way".

" He is angry your highness", said Ram. " Of the love he was robbed off. Its not the title. It was your son rejecting him again and again".

" Ranbir was a weak man", sighed Randheer.

And those twins are controlled by their mother he thought.

" Raj is here to destroy not handle", he let out his fears loud to his friend.

" Then only Shiva can save us".

AND SHIVA HAD THE PERFECT PLAN.

" We officially bid to be Prince Rajeev's firm today", said Kiara.

" We need others", said Kenny. " Get Myra, Grace and Shai. I believe she broke the engagement ".

" Well her mother was coercing her", said Kiara." She will jump the chance".

" Okay get Grace and Shai", she said. " I will talk to Myra".

" Okay".

Next Morning

Raj and his friends were having morning tea as they heard an animal howling in pain.

" What's that", said Ro.

" I think a horse", said Maddy.

The five men ran in that direction. It was indeed a horse

But it was in pain.

Four men chained its legs and pulled it. A groom held a rope around its neck. The younger twin Rakesh was whipping it.

" What the heck", muttered Raj.

" Stop it you moron", it came out of Maddy's mouth before he could stop it.

" What did you say you uneducated filth", said Rakesh.

" You heard me", said Maddy. " Now that your brain is malfunctioned it will take some time to process".

" I think you should leave", said Rahul the elder twin. " We are doing work here".

" Exactly what are you doing", asked Solly punching his one hand with another.

" We are breaking a horse", said Rahul.

The five men burst into laughter.

" I told him he is a moron", laughed Maddy.

" I can rearrange their brains for free", said Solly.

" Hey what nonsense do you speak", said Rakesh.

" Breaking a horse", said Ro. " I am sure you are going to break its leg". He pointed towards the beast's leg which was completely bloody.

" What do you know about horses", said Rahul.

" I was a groom once", replied Raj.

" You mean you cleaned horse shit",said Rakesh. " You looked like one yesterday. Future king my foot. What do you know"?

" He sure knows to break a horse better than you", said Parry.

" Well do it then", he heard a voice.

Raj turned to see the old king Randheer standing behind him.

" Good morning grandpa", the five men said in unision.

" Morning boys", he replied. " Raj can you tame the horse?"

" Sure", he answered.

" Well do it and the horse is yours".

" As you say your highness ", Raj saluted him and jumped in thre training arena.

" Open the chains", he ordered.

" Your highness we..", the groom said.

" I believe I am the one giving orders", he said with authority .

" Yes your highness", said the groom removing the chain.

" The horrible rope goes too", he said.

" Look moron its dangerous", said Rakesh.

" Aaawwwee concerned for me", said Raj. " I am so touched".

" Break a bone or 5", sneered Rakesh and left.

The servants removed the ropes and the beast ran haphazardly. All were scared.

Everyone left the arena except for Raj and the horse.

" Raj brother do it",clapped Parry.

" Go Raj", bellowed Solly.

" Raj Raj Raj", the 4 men chanted and clapped.

The man and the beast circled each other. They were weighing the opponent. It was a fine Arabic breed noted Raj. Loyal but willful. So am I. Raj made the first move. He tried to reach the horse and touch it. But it hit him hard with its hooves.

" Uneducated groom", sneered Rahul.

" I am going to hit him real hard", said Solly.

" Ignore him", said Ro. " Go Raj".

His friends continued cheering him.

And Raj got up and tried again. The horse shook him off. And he fell again. Once he climbed too. But fell again. He circled the horse again. And let out a loud whistle. The horse tried to hit him again but he held its front legs.

" Its time you take a master pal", he said in authority. " One who treats you well", he added softly.

Then he suddenly climbed it. The horse tried hard but Raj held on . The horse ran everywhere but soon was drained off. Its speed decreased.

" Give the reins", he shouted to the groom.

The groom threw as Raj caught it single handedly.

All except the twins were impressed. A few female servants started clapping. Everyone joined.

" Raj Raj Raj", chanted his friends.

He circled the arena accepting the applause from everyone. And brought the horse to a neat halt before the old king.

" Your highness", he bowed.

The king was elated.

" The horse is yours my son. Name it".

" Falcon", said Raj.

" Good name", acknowledged the king.

Raj said to the groom.

" Get a vet immediately and tend to him. Ask the vet to meet Dr. Khurana and myself. Show me a list of his diet".

" Yes your highness".

Raj nuzzled the horse.

" Don't worry pal I shall take care of ypu".

The horse neighed and left with the groom.

It was not just breaking a horse. He made a loyal friend for life. A new era has begun..
