In my Devil's Arms

Raj then showed him the videos. Professor was shocked. The boys have used waterproof video camerra. It recrded voices too. Within an hour they were standing in front of the principal.

Raj said calmly,

" Looks like in addition with top education facilities our school also needs top pr*stit*tion facilities. They have been doing it for years. First years are terrified of them. Not one teacher has a clue".

Raghav Sharma said to the principal, " He got us by neck. If this comes out the school closes".

" What do you want", asked the principal.

Raj was offended.

" I am not a blackmailer. I want to contest school elections fair and square".

" Why", asked Ragav.

" Because this school needs a leader with strong character to represent it", he said with confidence.

" One who breaks the rules", Professor Sharma raised a brow.

" And accepts punishments too", said Raj. "Rest assured that will not change sir". He smiled.

He saw respect in professor's eyes. He felt proud. DOUBLE STRANGE.

By year end he was the head boy and his four friends the head of four houses.

No more scandals right...

WRONG

They were sitting on a playground. The boys were 15 to 16 now. Maturing. Their hormones racing. And feeling the heat of m*tiing.

" I am tired of these chicks rubbing all over my b*dy", said Raj. " I feel like I am going to explode".

" True", said Ro. " These kisses make me want more."

Well they were sneaking off to girl's hostel. Nothing new for Raj when it was prohibited 😜

" I feel horny all the time", said Parry.

" Watching p*rn does not help. And using hand is boring".

" Sheila held mine for 500 bucks", said Maddy.

" Lucky b*st*rd", muttered Parry.

" I have decided to lose my V-card", said Raj.

" I am in", Solly jumped at first opportunity.

" Not with these chicks they will snitch", said Ro.

" Professionals ", queried Parry.

" We need a heck of a plan", said Maddy.

" I have one", smiled Raj.

Next month

The boys went to art and cultural fest in New Delhi. They had researched for a month. They disguised as 21 year olds with the help of Parry the disguise king. Sneaking out was easy peasy. Solly hacked the security camerras. Guys hired three cars and two separate hotels. Raj selected A grade professionals. They remained strangers at hotels.

"Remember don't over compensate. Play cool. Desperate means first timers", said Ro.

The boys got c*nd*ms from him. Safety first.

" You look young", a woman said to Raj.

" You won't say that tomorrow morning after you can't walk", he smirked.

The boys had a gala time. Raj was proven right. Nobody found out. And they were back.

After they were back in school professor Sharma said, " Something is fishy. How come prince Thakur and his gang stayed out of trouble"?

" Relax Raghav", said the principal. " At least we are not cleaning another mess".

So they let it go . And forgot about it

EXCEPT.

Srikant broke his promise to Gunjan.

" I shall never belong to another".

It started the week after they returned.

" Gunjan no please. Don't leave me. Come back please. No..noo..noo.. don't leave me alone.. I suffer."

Raj's piercing scream woke up his friends. As they switched on the light the sight terrified them.

He was drenched with sweat. Violent seizures hit his body. A nosebleed accompanied.

" Raj Raj", they cried.

" No..no..don't die on me. I want to die too".

" Raj its a nightmare man. Wake up", said Solly.

It only intensified.

" I read that we should not try to wake when someone has a nightmare", said Ro.

" What shall we do", cried Maddy.

" Lets wipe him with cold water", said Ro.

They did. It helped merely.

Meanwhile

Professor Raghav Sharma was on a round at night when he heard voices from Rajeev's room and saw the lights on.

" This boy is again planning to break rules", he sighed. He moved in that direction. " He is eating up years off my life", he murmured .

As he entered in Raj's room he was frozen on spot.

" Gunjan my love don't leave me alone. Please come back", cried the boy.

" VICKY", said the professor. Tears spilled from his eyes. Happy tears..

" You came back my son".

Ramcharan has been living here for past 16 years with a new name and identity.

" You will find your son in North as a student to you", Agni has said.

" Gunjan"...

He propelled into action.

" Move back everyone", he screamed.

" Damn its professor Sharma", said Maddy.

Ramcharan took out a thermometer from first aid kept in every room and took his temperature.

" A hundred and two", he said.

" I tried giving him paracetamol but he just throws up and does not wake up", said Ro.

" What is wrong with him", asked Solly.

" Fever which causes nightmares", said Ramcharan. " He can't ingest medicine.He needs injection. Get the nurse from infirmary ".

" No", said Solly.

" Don't die on me Gunjan", said Raj.

" Ro get injections", said Solly. " Parry deal with him", he pointed to professor. " Maddy wipe him as I hold".

" Loosening shirt will help", said Ramcharan.

Maddy removed the shirt. Raj's breath were fast.

" Sir please take a seat here", said Parry.

" Don't make it hard on us".

Ro returned. " I got syringe, paracetamol, cotton and spirit. Hold him tight".

" Have you done this before", asked a concerned Ramcharan to Ro.

" Sure on horses and illegally on humans", he said.

Ramcharan could only pray. Ro located the vein easily and injected paracetamol neatly.

The fever broke shortly as he slept.

" Thank Shiva", said Ramcharan.

" A word about this to anyone and you are dead", Solly said to the teacher.

But as time passed professor Sharma helped the boys. Not only in the class but with Raj's nightmares too. He was always a silent help offering juices and breakfast in mornings, paracetamol and syringes, wet wipes and never told anybody. HE STILL PUNISHED THEM ON BREAKING RULES THOUGH.

Raj was baffled.

Why? Whats in it for him?

" Its a disease. Not your fault", he said to Raj. " It will pass", he said.

" He is an heir to the throne with a scheming stepmother and other people vying for it. So the secret", Solly explained.

" I understand", said the teacher.

Strange to the power of infinity.

It was a preparatory leave for exam.

Raghav Sharma was at the hostel checking the rooms. Students were returning next week. He was in compound when he heard a large Thuud and a low moan aah.

He ran in the direction. His instinct told him it was him. SURE IT WAS RAJ.

He was lying in a ditch and reeked of alcohol. A low drizzle was there.

" Prince Thakur..Rajeev", he said.

" No Thakur I am officially an orphan". The boy laughed then cried and finally vomitted and passed out.

He rushed him to his quarters. He reeked of alcohol, was on school premises during a break and suffered a high fever. HE WAS IN TROUBLE AGAIN.

" Heavens", he cried.

" I want to die. Nobody loves me.I am a killer.Take me maa. Take me with you", the boy cried in sleep.

ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS LOVE.

Ramcharan teared up.

" No Rajeev this shall not be your life anymore. I love you my son", he said holding his son's hand. It was a promise.

He dialled a number.

Next morning.

" Good morning Rajeev", said Professor Sharma. " Happy birthday ". He handed him a legal document.

" This", he asked.

" Your present", said professor Sharma.

" From today you are my son. I asked your father to give up his parental right. You need a strict father. You cross a lot of lines. Not anymore."

Raj looked at the papers.

He was silent for a minute. Frozen in shock be more like it.

Then he got up and ran to Ramcharan's arms.

" Daddy", he sobbed.

" Surprise ", shouted 4 boys and an old man.

" Guys, grandpa", he hugged all.

" Your gift from me is jungle safari for all of us", said Randheer.

" Damn you as* hol*", said Solly. " Never scare us again."

" All for one and one for all", screamed the boys.

On his sixteenth birthday Raj got his father and his family back.

When Raj wished to go to USA Ramcharan accompanied him and the boys taking up a teaching position in a nearby private school. Randheer agreed as Raj was in danger in India. The boys grew up into fine adults with successful careers.

Present day

" I heard you are going to India", said Ramcharan

." Thanks to bloody serpent Kamini", hissed Maddy.

" She can't leave one memory of my mother", said Raj.

" She is trying to demolish the ashram where he was born", said Ro.

Ramcharan knew about his birth.

" Then go ahead and fight this battle. You are completely ready now Raj. May Shiva bless you", said his father.

" What about you daddy"?

" I am returning back to India with you guys too", he said to Raj.

" Why daddy", asked Raj.

" To search wives for all five of you. Aah I know where you sneak off for fun. Only wives can correct you".

" Dream on daddy. My heart is stone cold looking at Kamini", said Raj. " She needs to be born by fire to melt it."

" Yeah the woman who makes him fall in love does not walk on the Earth", smirked Parry.

They were all wrong...for she was walking ....more like racing
