Excelium II: Hunting Season

Kabanata 50

No one dared to speak as the two stare at each other's eyes. There's a lot of tension in the air and every person can feel it. No one has the courage to interrupt. Oh, but there is one person.

Naputol ang titigan ng dalawa noong bigla na lamang may lumipad na palakol sa pagitan ng kanilang mukha. Bonzo closed his eyes as he sigh then he glanced at the person who threw the axe, "Aida~! Ano ba? 'Wag kang magselos!"

"Get the f*ck out of my bar, Bonzo!" Aida yelled.

Magsasalita pa sana ang lalaki ngunit naputol ito noong may lumipad na kutsilyo sa kaniyang direksyon, grazing his ear. Tumayo naman lalaki at sumimangot sa kaniya, "Eto na, eto na!" then he playfully smiled and put his hand in his pocket. Noong inilabas niya ito ay may hawak na siyang tasa na nasa ibabaw ng isang saucer. Naglabas rin ito ng isang panyo at pinagpag ito ng isang beses. Shane and Rui's eyes shone when the handkerchief turned into a teapot. Bonzo poured tea into the cup.

Then he threw the teapot at his back, not minding where it will land.

"Aray! Tang*na!"

He slightly bowed his head at Aida then he smiled, "Would you care for some tea? To cool down your head, my pretty lady." he said with a British accent.

Ngunit isang kutsilyo ang lumipad sa kaniyang direksyon, malapit sa kaniyang mukha. Both his eyebrows raised and his slightly pursed lips frowned as he shrug his shoulders once. "I guess not." he said and let go of the cup.

Sinbad closed his eyes slowly as he breath in when the cup broke in front of him. Some of the contents even spilled on him. He breathed out. It's a lunatic person, he said to himself.

"Lumabas ka na!" tila mapapatid ang mga ugat sa leeg ni Aida noong muli siyang sumigaw.

Bonzo giggled and stepped forward to get off the table. He didn't even care when he stepped on Rui's food. He stepped forward again but this time, he stepped on Rui's head who is in front of him. His feet was about to land on the floor but before it could, someone grabbed him by the neck and suddenly slammed him on the floor with strong power, causing for the ground to crack. Bonzo choked because of the force.

A blood trailed off his lips as he stare at cold and enraged eyes. Bonzo let out his creepy chuckle, "Why are you so pissed off?" he said between chuckling and choking.

But he didn't receive any answer. The angered person raised his body slightly by holding his neck then she pushed him even harder on the floor. Causing for the ground to break and him slightly sinking on the ground. Lahat ay naramdaman ang pagyanig ng buong pasilidad dahil sa ginawa nito.

Bonzo choked and cough but his coughs turned into laughter. "I think my neck is broken. Hey tell me, why are you angry? Hmm.. could it be because I stepped on Pale Kid's head? Nakakatuwa ka ah~! A demon caring for a human child? How soft of you." nawala bigla ang ngiti nito at saglit na nagdilaw ang kaniyang mga mata, "You disgust me."

"Hey!" sigaw ni Aida na puno ng pagkairita, "You're aware that you'll pay for the damages right!? And you Bonzo! Get the hell out of my bar or I'll--"

Bonzo laughed, "Oo na! Paalis naman na talaga ako no! Blame this girl right here!"

"Zai.. I'm fine." Rui said with his soft voice.

Zai temporarily closed her eyes then when she opened them, her usual expression came back. Niluwagan nito ang hawak sa leeg ng lalaki at tumayo na. Bonzo stood up. The other customers grimaced at him. His head is hanging as if he really did break his neck. Hinawakan nito ang sariling ulo at bigla na lamang ibinalik sa dating posisyon nito, making those cracking sound. Ero squinted his eyes. He noticed that the wound on the clown's ear also healed.
