Orion (The Hunter)

Those Who Are Still the Same

" We are rich ! Hu... !" Mintaka shouted excitedly while sprinkling money upwards. Then spin around enjoying under the falling money with eyes closed and hands stretched out.

Rigel, Saiph, Bellatrix, Alnilam, and Alnilam stared intently at Mintaka's behavior which they thought was too childish.

" He's like he's never seen that kind of money." Bellatrix said.

" It's like a bum who never had money" Saiph added.

" If I think he looks like a crazy person who fantasizes about being rich" said Alnilam.

Alnitak laughed at the comments of his three brothers. " Don't she look cute ?"

" Cute you said ?!" rigel asked with eyes glaring in disbelief and then went to spit out his stomach. Mintaka is cute, considering that it alone makes her stomach churn.

" His why ?" Alnilam asked as he looked at Rigel who was getting up with his hands closed his mouth like he was holding something back.

Alnitak shrugged his shoulders indifferently. " I said Mintaka was cute and she wanted to vomit after hearing that."

" You said Mintaka was cute ?!"

" Yes, why ?"

Alnilam immediately closed his mouth and went to follow Rigel.

Saiph and Bellatrix who saw it were stunned silently by Alnilam's departure. What is with the word Mintaka which is said to be cute by Alnitak. Saiph and Bellatrix changed to see Mintaka who was still playing with money. Instantly they understood why Rigel and Alnilam could become like that.

" It's just right that they're both like that. Compared to cute Mintaka is more precisely said like an idiot child who grew up to be crazy" said Saiph.

" Don't forget that attitude that never had a point." Bellatrix shuddered in horror at the thought that she had been the victim of Mintaka's insolence and stupidity.

" I also want to vomit to imagine Mintaka being cute" Saiph said before closing his mouth tightly with his hands to suppress nausea.

Alnitak laughed at the words his brothers had spoken to Mintaka. It was a pity that his little sister became their blasphemous material. If Orion knew for sure his brother would rampage at them and scold them like an old man.

" What's wrong with you guys ?"

Ah, just now Alnilam thought about it. Orion has just arrived.

" We're just playing" Bellatrix replied.

Orion is seen thinking and looking at Saiph, Bellatrix, and Alnitak alternately before turning to see Mintaka. " You guys play together here but leave Mintaka alone in there ?"

Saiph seemed eager to answer. His nausea instantly disappeared upon hearing the question from Orion. The truth is they come into play for money like Mintaka does. His age would definitely be questioned for sure by his guardian angel later on.

" We were tired from seeing the auction. Oh yeah, how's your job ?" ask Alnilam.

Orion smiled and sat down next to Alnitak. " As usual."

" Are you entertained ?"

" No."

" Why ?"

" I can't eat my game on this one because the game won't be exciting if my game just dies" Orion replied.

Rigel and Alnilam sat down. Alnilam who saw Orion immediately stood up and hugged his brother.

" Why are you hugging me Nilam ? We were only separated for a few hours."

" As my thanks for letting me wear that pink dress." Alnilam spoke with sparkling eyes.

Orion smiled as he scrambled Alnilam's hair. " Don't be like this or Saiph will be jealous of me."

...*****...

" I'm proud of what you think Saiph is." Rigel patted Saiph on the shoulder with a proud look. As the oldest member of this group Rigel had the responsibility of educating his other brothers. Although his role was always taken over by Orion.

" So.., can I hug Alnilam as I like Saiph ?" ask Bellatrix.

" No." Saiph stared flat at Bellatrix.

" Why ? You said it was okay."

" Because you're not my brother." Saiph said without thinking.

Bellatrix was surprised and pursed her lips and hugged Orion. " He's so mean." he said.

Mintaka stops the game and runs to embrace Orion. " Let's just hug."

Rigel and Saiph look at each other before moving on and embracing Orion. Tonight they will have fun and remember their childhood together.

" Let's go along too." Alnilam pulls Alnitak's hand to hug Orion.

" What are you guys doing ?" Orion stared confusedly at his six brothers and his friends who arrived to embrace him like when they were little.

" You don't hug Orion either !" bellatrix.

" Orion let's go tonight like we used to" Mintaka said

" Yes, Mintaka is right. Come on Rion !" Alnilam asked too.

Orion chuckled then nodded his head. " Come on !"

They laughed together and started to let go of their embrace. Rigel and Saiph take a couch cushion and throw one for Orion. Alnilam and Alnitak take the money and run behind Rigel and Saiph. While Bellatrix took a broom and Mintaka took a dust cleaning tool made of chicken feathers. They will play the villain in this game.

" Taka we beat them and we take the money" Bellatrix said.

Mintaka shows his mother his finger at Bellatrix. " We drop them and we tie them together."

" Come. Now, attack !"

" Attack !"

Bellatrix and Mintaka run to Orion, Rigel, and Saiph. While Alnilam and Alnitak only see and encourage while keeping the money.

DUG !

" Aw, Bellatrix hit my head on your broomstick !" Saiph shouts in the middle of their fight.

" Keep your couch pillow away from my handsome Saiph face ! I can't see anything !" scream Bellatrix.

" Rigel don't snap my hair !"

" Then get that chicken feather away from me !"

" Hey you two don't pull my shirt !" Orio shouted.

" You stay away from us. Don't be in our middle !" mintaka Shouts.

" Then remove your pull from my clothes ! I'm suffocating !" Orion yells angrily at the collar of his clothes being gripped from the opposite direction by Rigel and Mintaka.

" Bellatrix hit Saiph in the face with your broom !" shout Alnilam.

" Rigel don't be afraid of that chicken feather !" shouted Alnitak.

Tonight Orion's house was filled with shouts of obscurity as a result of the ridiculous behavior of seven adults who were reminiscing about their childhood together. Even so Orion smiled in the middle of that shout.

Seeing his friends screaming at each other with happy eyes twinkle makes Orion realize something. They are all the same. Despite their adult age, their growing responsibilities, and the problems they face all the time. They are still brothers and friends who keep all their ridiculousness.
