Orion (The Hunter)

Mintaka Forward

" The president is forcing a meeting with you."

YES !

Galiendro placed his pen roughly on the table. His head turned to look intently at his secretary who was standing trembling across from his desk.

" Who ?"

" Someone who calls himself the sender of the message."

Galiendro instantly relaxed his face. Even now both ends of his lips were pulled upwards to form a smile.

" Send him in."

" Good President."

Galiendro stretched his muscles relieving fatigue. Then lean back in his chair to be more relaxed. Had he not been the arrival of a special guest, Galiendro would have fallen asleep by now.

" Good afternoon sir, may God always give his light to you and this country."

Galiendro frowned looking at the person who had helped him. Just this time he got a greeting like that from someone. Sounds foreign but he likes greetings like that.

" What's your real name ?" ask Galiendro.

A person who called himself the sender of the message smiled politely before replying. " My name remains Mintaka sir."

" That's your real name. Let's sit wherever you want."

Mintaka walked to the chair opposite the Galiendro table. " Thank you sir, I thought you'd forgotten me."

" Forget you ? Wherever possible, you are my savior. How could I forget you. Wait a minute I want to call my secretary."

Galiendro picked up his phone and contacted his secretary to order him a drink with some snacks. After that Galiendro again looked at his special guest who had the name Mintaka. Mintaka, quite strange and sounds like a person from an Eastern country.

" Where are you from ?"

" I grew up in one of the orphanages in this country, sir" Mintaka replied.

So like that, just an outcast. It was only fitting that he did not know which country he was from. Galiendro looked at Mintaka's appearance and physique. Too bad young people seem to have to have a genius brain.

God is not fair to him. How could a child who had nothing like it have the abilities that were sought after in his country. While the students he facilitated could not be like Mintaka.

" So.., what do you want young people ?"

" Are you going to give it to me if I ask for something ?" Mintaka asked back.

Galiendro smiled hearing that. But his mind began to spin thinking of a short way if Mintaka asked for something to his detriment.

" If it's still limited to my ability. I will fulfill it." replied Galiendro.

From that answer Mintaka's silent eyes imply a cunning that Galiendro does not know. " I have admired you since I was a child. Can I be one of your people even though I don't have any abilities ?"

" That's all ?" ask Galiendro.

Mintaka nodded confidently. " I never doubt your will."

The smile on Galiendro's lips grew wider. His eyes implied friendliness as well as decisiveness like a humble leader.

" Alright I accept you. Thank you for helping me out yesterday."

" I should be thanking you. Because you want to accept this lowly me." Mintaka smiled happily, almost to his release screeching gleefully. It seemed that he did not feel rivaled anymore by Bellatrix.

Mintaka gets out of the car and walks into Saiph and Alnilam's nightclub. They both named this place Night Star which had the meaning of night star. Though according to Mintaka all the stars that come must be when night falls. Where the sun sinks and will sink when the sun rises. All stars are called night stars.

Is there an afternoon star or an afternoon star ?.

Saiph and Alnilam are like people who are resourceful to the point of upsetting Mintaka half to death. Names in this world are many but they even name this place the night star where it contains many butterflies night. Why don't they just name this place a nightflower ?.

" I guess he must be cursing where we are" said Saiph, who sat leaning on the sofa with a mask neatly attached to cover part of his face.

" Let it go, here he is of no use to us." Alnilam replied with a sharp speech.

Mintaka rubbed his chest to remind himself to be more patient. A shitty couple after Rigel and Alnitak. Plus men but named women like Bellatrix. No friend of his is sane. Except Orion, though he's a cold-blooded killer. But behind his flat face Orion is an understanding man.

" I guess again he must be comparing us to Orion." guess Siph again and it is true that Mintaka can only be silent.

Answering will also be the wrong end. Because Mintaka knows how sharp every word that comes from Saiph's mouth is. Plus the existence of Alnilam which is a complement to the spice spice candidate heartache.

Mintaka poured Wine into an empty glass and drank it in one sip.

" How's your job ?" ask Alnilam.

" It went well as planned." replied Mintaka.

" I've admired you so much since I was a kid." Saiph laughed amusedly after mimicking a word Mintaka said to Galiendro. " Awe a traitor ? That's right !" continued.

Alnilam laughed. But he did not mock Mintaka because they were still on a mission. " He would have only done that to get close to Galiendro dear."

" Yes I know that, but the words he said were ridiculous" Saiph said.

Mintaka rolled a lazy eye. It's always like this if he goes forward. They would definitely find it embarrassing to be able to mock him. " I have to play the innocent, active type of young man. Besides, I also have to be good at making sweet compliments so she likes me."

" You have a lot to learn then. Have Hansen teach you or else Bellatrix" Alnilam suggested.

Mintaka shakes short. " Asking Bellatrix for help is like giving yourself up to be her experimental rat. To Hansen.., you know for yourself that he's Orion the cold-blooded Hunter. Ask her for help I'll be taught how to kill instead of praising."

Alnilam laughed and agreed to Mintaka's words. " You're right, then you ask someone else just so don't be our friend. Because I'm sure we're not all normal people."

" I'll learn it myself." Mintaka replied.

" Yes it's up to you then."
