Orion (The Hunter)

Raw Food

Hansen's eyes seemed to widen for a while before returning to their normal state. " Ruin, don't be like that ! You're scaring me now !"

Reina smiled so much that she showed her clean white teeth. His hand patted Hansen's arm twice. " I'm sorry, I like to forget myself when I see the perfection that God creates."

Gabriel clucked and folded his hands in front of his chest. His eyes stared at the scene of Reina and Hansen in front of him. They make out as if they would be in this car no one else but them.

" Next time I won't repeat it again" Reina said.

Hansen nodded and returned to wearing his jacket. " I'm sorry I set you up, Reina. But I'm really scared to see you aggressive. So instead of me being away from you and you being hurt. Help us to understand each other."

" I know, after all, it's not that hard." Reina smiled looking at Hansen. Looks like he's gonna have to get even harder to get rid of Hansen's trauma on this one. Because Reina was not sure of her attitude when Hansen became hers.

Gabriel who had been forced to pay attention immediately turned his eyes out of the car. " Mang mentang is near them the language is directly to understand each other." he murmured.

Hansen chuckled who heard Gabriel muttering. His sharp ears allowed him to hear the slightest sound as long as it was not too far away.

" Hans let's eat first. I've been hungry since." Pinta Reina.

Hansen glanced at Gabriel who was sitting alone in the back seat through the rearview mirror in the car. " Gabriel are you hungry ?"

" Do you remember if I was here ?" Gabriel asked in a cynical tone. Hansen and Reina had been chatting together without inviting him to join.

" Heh, are you sulking ?" ask Reina.

Hansen sighed, why are they throwing questions at each other now ?.

" Do you think ?" Gabriel looked at Reina cynically.

Reina shrugged her shoulders indifferently. " You should know better than I do, right ?"

Alright now Hansen was starting to get upset because his question no one wanted to answer. Hansen drove the car as he pleased. Let him find a place to eat for them this time. His mouth was already lazy to ask after hearing the debate of Reina and Gabriel who were now throwing questions at each other.

Hah, Hansen sighed again. Not in RB, not here. Hansen always made childhood friends like he does now. Although sometimes it can comfort him but the annoyance more often experienced because of their silly behavior.

Hansen glanced at the smiling Reina looking at Gabriel before looking back at the street in front of him. Somehow the taste he experienced for Reina was different from the taste he experienced when he was with Monica first. Every time he met Reina, Hansen felt that there was something interesting about the girl. But after Hansen approached her he felt an implied threat to her.

While driving Hansen looked at the black bracelet on his wrist. The memory of Monica's words returned.

Hans, if you can't be with me. Then look for a girl who is not only in your mind. But also when you close your eyes, you can see there's a shadow there. That's why you already like it. So go after him and find your happiness there !.

Hansen smiled faintly at the streets in front of him. " My mind is still yours even though my heart is not Monica." she said.

...*****...

" Hm., this is delicious. I just found out that eating raw marine animals turned out to be delicious. There is a sweet and fresh taste to every bite of meat we eat. The fishy taste can also be lost even though as far as I fishy the animal is difficult to remove." Reina continued to comment on the food from the restaurant Hansen chose.

" Gabriel try you to eat this octopus leg. It was chewy and slightly sticky in the sky but still delicious to eat." this time Reina thrust a piece of octopus leg that was still moving towards Gabriel's mouth.

" Gabriel, open your mouth quickly." Reina said angrily waiting for Gabriel to open his mouth.

" No Rein, I'm amused to eat that" Gabriel said.

" Why ?" Reina asked and stopped thrusting a piece of the octopus leg at Gabriel.

" I was horrified to see him still moving like that" replied Gabriel who invited Hansen's laughter.

" His name is also still raw Gabriel. If you don't want that, try salmon meat. You must like it." Hansen gave a slice of salmon meat to Gabriel's mouth.

Gabriel accepted it and chewed it slowly to absorb the taste.

" How about ?" ask Hansen.

" Sweet." replied Gabriel.

Hansen smiled and gave a plate containing slices of Salmon fish to Gabriel's front. " I told you you'd love it. It's eat again if you're bored you can taste something else."

Gabriel nodded his head in return.

" Hans try this shrimp." Reina now gave a piece of shrimp into Hansen's plate.

Hansen ate the shrimp and smiled after chewing it. " It tastes as good as I've ever eaten."

" Do you often eat food like this ?" ask Reina.

" Yes but without Gabriel." Hansen replied.

" I guess for sure because Gabriel doesn't like raw food."

Hansen snapped his finger. " You're absolutely right. You know what ? He's a law-abiding noble. Look at the expression that is eating. He's like a stranger stranded out of nowhere."

" What matters now is that I've eaten it, right ?" Gabriel asked lazily then bit the small slice of Salmon fish meat on his plate.

Reina laughed out loud confirming Hansen's words. This is a growing age and such raw food is already in great demand by people, especially easterners. " You're gonna embarrass yourself if you can't adjust your surroundings Gabriel."

" I understand." Gabriel replied.

" Nah.., because you want to adjust to your environment. Now let's eat this octopus head. She looks so cute without her legs" Hansen said, moving the octopus' head into Gabriel's plate.

Gabriel who saw that immediately glared at his eyes. Especially when looking at that octopus that seemed to have a breath. " I don't want to !" screeched with a pale face.

Hansen laughed and kept the octopus' head out of Gabriel's reach. It turns out that Gabriel still has something in common with George that is just as scared as an octopus. Gabriel is afraid to eat an octopus because the animal is still alive. While George was afraid of the octopus because he almost died eaten by many-legged animals.
