Chapter 39:Thanksgiving Night

"Demido, what you're doing with the ceramic pots, stop throwing them!" Camille shouted.

Disappointments, frustration and intense anger for not yet finding out the immortal couple who betrayed the evils. The gnashing anger clenched by his fist, his drooling mouth of revenge and flaring eyes to keep pushing them on the corners had he thought was the only way.

" Damn all of you idiots! I'll crash you all without orders and grind you into pieces with my pangs of anger! You mortal daughter, precious, might one day become a sacrificial lamb! Gante and Psyda, your betrayal's payback is almost on my palm...it's almost over, it's almost over!" Then he slammed the door and left Camille shaking in fear while helplessly knelt beside the big marble jar in her house. The poor Camille, who had been one of the richest stockholders in the city for the past months out of Demido's wealth, yet the loneliest. After being involved with her new strange partner, her life became a repertoire of hell.

" I'm not happy with your money anymore...everything is scary now, what will I do...." Camille leaned her back on the wall and screamed so loud while crying so hard.

" Hi Sir, and so you're our regular customer now, just notice you and the beautiful lady....."

" Ah, she's..."

" ...good to hear that. Here's my card and our business number, you don't need to come for your purchase, we'll pick it up for you. Thanks, hope to see you and the lady as our regular customer. Then he smiled and ready to go out from the store. While he was on his seat inside the taxi, still his eyes was glued on the calling card. He reached home almost 6:00 pm and took out the five kilo tuna belly from the taxi compartment. Everyone inside yelled like children, knowing that it's tuna for grill. They all got out from the house and put some chairs in front of the veranda. Then after cleaning the tuna meat Godem prepared a small table with a bigger empty plate and a platter filled with soy sauce, a little lemon, chilli, onions, ginger and tomato slices. Inside the house, while Seb changed his suit to shirt and jogging pants, he was still not able to get rid out of his mind, thinking and recalling names. He paused for a while and sat down on his bed.

" Where have I heard these names." Then shook his head and pressed his two ears while encompassing his foot on the floor like pressing the musical keyboard. That feeling when you recall something where it seemed to be that it's almost there and already in the tip of your tongue, that was how he felt. Someone knocked twice and opened the door and it's Karla. Then he put down the calling card on bed.

" Come on! the first batch are ready and we reserved it for you. They were laughing outside that you got so tired carrying the five kilo tuna and risk your life for it and that it made you rolled already on bed stoically , screaming of back pains, haha...they also prepared some surprises for you since it's our team's thanksgiving. Come on, hurry!"

" What?"Seb was laughing so loud due to the rumor at the veranda.

Karla got out first running and the two guys opened the two bottles of wine and poured these without mercy on him, sprinkling as they cheered afterwards.

" Haha...you spoiled brats. Huh! this is the price of being the eldest around." Seb tearfully laughed.

" Ows...Godem planned this out, more so when he found that you brought so many tuna belly plus his chocolate cake. Karla and I were laughing at him while testing the sliced tuna together with a chocolate cake you bought for him, haha! he closed his eyes again and said, "I tasted this cake somewhere else, hmm..." Nomin laughingly said while holding the paper hat on his head. Godem got out from the house bringing the food container filled with rice.

" Hmm...Godem maybe have tasted it somewhere else. And me just can't recall the names of the chocolate cake store owners. Sounds interesting..." Seb's thought.

"Godem, where have you tasted the chocolate cake before, tell me." Seb asked him while holding his two shoulders. Godem looked up the sky and readily answered.

" Hmm...sometime in the 18th century and...." Godem jokily said and they all laughed as Seb pinched his ear while laughing.

" I was too serious asking then it's how thrilling the answer was, haha!" Okay, let's celebrate the season this early. Karla led the prayer and the joyful dinner had started.

"Seb, we agreed you will take that glass of wine that Karla is pouring on, we reward you with that. Godem and I will have our night shift duty tonight, will patrol around the area. Then they all laughed.

Nomin and Karla were stargazing and Godem was very full after eating the chocolate cake and eventually picking up the last slice. They were even laughing how come the tuna and cake were eaten together in just one meal. After two hours, Seb was already knocked down, bowed his head and murmured.

" Sshhh...my beautiful wife...is coming...running excitingly towards me...she's...holding the tiny hand...of my daughter....with her...sshhhh." Then he fell on the shoulder of Godem.

" Wow! he has a wife and daughter in his previous life, interesting. Urggh! but he's choosing me to carry him inside..oh my...g..good heavens! I can't ...even use my power to lessen his weight...he is heavier than what I ...guessed." Then Nomin and Karla were laughing at him carrying Seb on his back.
