Thomas - A Gangster

You may have heard many stories and seen many tales, but today I am going to tell you the story of a 21-year-old boy who single-handedly ruled the whole of West Bengal. Although he was a big gangster to the leaders and ministers, he was no less than a hero to the common people. The story of his transformation from a class topper to a gangster made his life very sad. You will understand the importance of the story as soon as you hear it. So, let's start the story...

At a tea stall, Sudeep lit a cigarette and sat down on the next bench. After releasing the smoke from the cigarette, he turned to Asim and said, "Hey, did the leader call you again today?"

Asim replied, "I think there is something very important. Today, the boss himself asked us to gather together."

Sudeep exclaimed, "What are you saying! Is it true? Is the boss really coming here today? You said such a big thing so casually."

Asim said, "Our squad's co-leader, Prafulla Da, told me. But why are you so surprised?"

Sudeep asked, "Tell me first, have you ever seen the boss?"

Asim replied, "No, but why?"

Sudeep said, "I haven't seen him either, and you are far from it. Anyway, I don't think there can be a small reason for the boss to come here. Surely something big has happened, otherwise why would the boss come to this small place of ours?"

Asim said, "Whatever it is, we will get all the news tonight. Prafulla Da asked us all to come to the park next to Langalberia market. Let's see. Today will be the first time I meet the boss. It is said that not everyone is lucky enough to see him."

Sudeep said, "I am also very excited, Asim. I am also worried, what could have happened that forced the boss to come here himself."

The Cold Winter Night

A foggy winter night. About 400 people are standing in a group in a park next to a market. Everyone is wearing the same white jacket with a pair of cobras printed on the back and a square logo of a pair of cobras on the left side of the chest and black, snake-scaled pajamas on their feet. Everyone was talking to each other.

Asim said, "I joined this gang only a month or a few days ago. And you have been in this gang for almost a year and a half."

Sudeep said, "Yes, that's right. But why are you asking this again? Although I have learned a lot in the year and a half that I have been in this gang. Even without seeing the boss, I have learned a lot by being in his gang. Even though we are goons, we are all heroes to the common people. The only reason for that is our boss, Thomas. Although he is a Christian by religion, there are Hindus, Muslims, and all religions in his gang. The boss treats all religions equally."

A gentle cold breeze blew past everyone's ears. The leader of the gang in front said, "Silence please, our boss is entering here. Everyone be careful."

Some footsteps were heard from the road behind the temple. Those footsteps were coming forward. A soft voice was heard from behind the temple. He said, "Am I late, Monti?"

Monti replied, "No boss, you have come at the right time."

Everyone was surprised to see that this was our boss. A fair-skinned 21-year-old boy is our boss. He doesn't seem to have a very good body, like a gang boss should be very powerful, but this boss doesn't have that. He has a soft voice. There is nothing special besides that.

Usually there are 507 people in the gang. Each squad has 33 members, a leader and 2 co-leaders. There are a total of 8 squads. A leader runs a squad. There are two captains who order the 8 leaders, four each.

Asim said, "I thought the boss would be a stylish, tattooed, handsome man. But I see an ordinary boy."

Sudeep said, "Actually, I am also surprised. How did a child become our boss?" Shekhar went and stood next to Monti and whispered.

Shekhar (4th squad leader) said, "Hey, Monti (3rd squad leader), at least tell Isha (5th squad leader) what's on your mind today. Don't miss this chance today."

Monti said, "Will you shut up! I told you not to bring up this matter anywhere. You talk too much."

Shivam (1st squad leader) said, "Wow Monti, you have trained your squad well. Everyone is in very good manners."

Priyam (6th squad leader) said, "I prefer to be silent all the time."

Swapna (7th squad leader) said, "Fight and dream. Did the poem match, Suresh?"

Suresh (8th squad leader) said, "You and your useless poem. You have remained the same all your life."

Monti said, "Boss, these are the boys of my squad. Ask whatever you want to ask."

Thomas said from the dim light, "Thank you Monti, you have done a good job."

This time Thomas came to the light and stood and said, "How are you friends?"
