Sukua : The Boy behind an Innocent Scandal

He was like an animal from a different planet. Very fondly his parents named him "Sukua". He was 15 & was working as a helper at SAHU'S KITCHEN, a 3 star hotel. But you don't know him if you don't know about his beloved. Nothing makes him happier than the smell of his beloved, rum.  

Every night, after work, he would keep pushing Sahu Mausa, the hotel owner, for a 100ml bottle of rum & as usual, mausa would come up with his regular response "Shut up ". But what bothers him most is when he catches Sahu Mausa passing a bottle to Bisu (his senior co-worker), every single night. But oneday, he got an idea. 

After his job, he reached the hotel bunker & broke the news : "Fire. Fire. Hotel on fire". Every other staff rushed outside only to discover that it was a prank pulled by Sukua. They returned to the bunker to make it even with Sukua, but he was sitting like a stone. Not a single word. Just a weird look on his face & eyes towards the ceiling as if a piece of diamond is about to fall from the sky.

Then Bisu reached for his Bottle of rum that Sahu Mausa gave him that night. But he didn't find it. 

"Where is my bottle ?" Bisu asked publicly.

No one responded. 

He asked again, still no response. 

That's when someone knocked the door. Bisu went to open the door & sahu mausa stood there with a sealed bucket in his hand.  

"What is this bucket mausa ?" 

"You kids find out" 

When he opened the seal, it was a fully loaded bucket of Mutton biryani. Roughly 10 kg. It's smell was strong enough to perfume the whole atmosphere in 2 second. The air was full of spicy mutton. Red-soft-spicy mutton. They didn't bother to ask mausa about the whole story behind this UNEXPECTED GIFT. They took the bucket, closed the door & started the party. 

It was around 10 pm when Sukua, Bisu & 2 other staff members started the party. They arranged a massive tray & poured half of biryani on it. By 11 pm everyone were rolling, except Sukua. He was a beast. He devoured upto his heart's content & ultimately collapsed faced-down onto the tray. As if it was not enough, he started rolling over the biryani & ultimately buried himself in biryani. He was a monster. A monster bathing in biryani.

It was midnight when they decides to leave the bunker for their staff house. Everyone stood up & as expected, Sukua didn't. Bisu took out his bike & the other members carried him on to the back seat. Bisu drove him upto the staff house & Sukua was there leaned against him like a corpse. He was so heavy Bisu had to drag him inside but suddenly Sukua caught sense & exploded like an atom bomb. He started scolding Bisu for dragging him. What's more, he started vomiting the entire space. Bisu was clueless how to clean this mess & went inside in despair. Sukua decided to lie there under the open sky.

That morning, Bisu prefered to choke himself than going outside to see Sukua. Still he came outside because Diwali was on the horizon & he had to reach office by 7 am for packing hundreds of sweet boxes for customers. But what he saw filled his heart with gratitude for Sahu Mausa. The entire place was clean including the whole body of Sukua although it was still stinking. He inhaled some air of relief. He immediately went inside, took a shower & went ahead for the hotel.

Before going into his work he went to the office room for thanking Sahu Mausa.

"Thanks a lot Mausa for the job" 

You don't have to thank me. That gift was your monthly bonus. 

Ohh..okay..By the way, I am not thanking you because of biryani, I am thanking you for cleaning the mess infront of staff house.

"What mess ? What happened there ? ".

He was shocked that Sahu Mausa didn't know about last night. So he decided to play it safe. 

"I am kidding Mausa. I was just checking whether you were sober last night" 

"Ha haa" Mausa responded.

Then he left office & went straight to the computer room. He narrated the whole incident to the guy monitoring the CCTV & asked him to show last night footage. He agreed & told him to come back after lunch. 

He arrived on duty at 7.30am. After few hours Sukua came too. He was looking pale. Bisu asked him about last night, hoping he would be able to clear the air by telling him who cleaned the mess. But Sukua scratched his head & told that he remembered everything till midnight & nothing after that. Now his curiosity grew bigger , but he managed to survive till lunch. When it was time he ran for the computer room. 

Surprisingly, when he reached the computer room it was full of staffs. Each one bursting with laughter. Everyone were watching the CCTV footage. When I asked the CCTV guy he asked everyone to maintain silence & again played the video from starting. 

SUKUA IS SLEEPING. 

BIRYANI ALL OVER HIS BODY. 

HIS MOUTH OPEN. 

2 MINUTES PASSED.

THEN KALIA CAME.

THEN CHINA.

KALIA SMELLED HIS FACE & STARTED LICKING IT.

WITHIN MINUTES HIS CHEEKS, NOSTRILS & EARS WERE CLEAN LIKE A BRIDE. 

CHINA TOOK OVER HIS CHEST & BELLY.

CHINA FELT THIRSTY. HE WENT SOMEWHERE TO DRINK SOME WATER.

THEN CAME BACK & STARTED LICKING . 

CHINA FELT LIKE TAKING A PISS. 

HE LOOKED AROUND FOR SOMETHING, MAY BE A HOLE.

HIS EYES FALL OVER SUKUA'S OPEN MOUTH. 

HE SLOWLY CAME CLOSE, PLACED HIS WEAPON & TOOK THE SHOT.

SUKUA WOKE UP SLIGHTLY.

SOME LIQUID CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH.

REST WENT INSIDE. 

After the video, Bisu came to meet Sukua, slipped a gentle smile, blankly looked at his face for 3 second & said "Now I know who took my bottle last night"
