Lagawe, Ifugao, one area in the Philippines where once head hunting is a sport and mutilated head are trophies.
In a four story two star restaurant, the business is busy not because it was patronized by the locals but because it's most recommended by tourist to fellow tourist.
Not only the foods are organically good but also the ambiance is one of a kind.
If it's your first time in the restaurant, you will surely think that the place is a museum.
The most attractive thing in the place are those real skulls of dead people, protected by glass as decorations.
If you love ancient weapons, there are also a lot of them, strengthened by flesh and blood.
At this moment, no table in the first floor is vacant but still, people keep coming, most of them are bikers.
Fortunately, there are other floors to accommodate them.
This time, a group of foreign people entered the building like they own the place.
Everyone is wearing suits and only the leader wears a custom-made with equisite embroideries of some kind of native design.
Seeing that the newcomers are not simple, the manager went to meet them in person.
Surprisingly, it's a girl who seems to be still in her teens, but with an aura of a capable lady.
*Gentlemen, do you have a reservation or walk ins?
They were asked with politeness but in return;
*This chick is a good beach. She must serve me tonight.
A foreign language sounded like this and made the entourage laugh.
Even if you did not understand anything, a normal person can see that it's definitely foul words.
Being stared by everyone present, this group of ching chung men are still proud of how they acted.
A little did they know that the girl in front of them knows more than one language and said in mandarin chinese;
*These gentlemen, is it rude to speak that way. If you may, please leave the place not to disturb everyone's meal
This time, the girl was politely rude and instantly changed the faces of eight ching chung people.
*Unexpectedly, a chick knows how to speak. But do you believe that I can really make you serve me tonight. I once played a petite filipina and she plays very well. Tonight is a young one, plump and sexy.
Once again, the entourage laugh with lewdness.
Despite being young, this teenager manager didn't lose her temper instead, took out her phone and went to call someone as she distance herself from the group of animals.
Seeing this;
*Little girl, do you think you can run away? I've already booked you tonight. Go and get her.
There's an order and the snappiest one in the entourage went to execute.
But suddenly, the momentum disperse and even felt pressure when he saw a man coming, wearing a vest shirt exposing his ripped arms.
The most troubling part is the tribal tattoo on his forearm.
He's not the only one who has this reaction but also his companions, the leader is not exempted.
Even if the man is arrogant because there's a big family behind him, he still knows who are the people not to mess with, especially in their own territory.
He came to this town just for one man with no background and not to offend the tiger in the mountain so without hesitation, directly;
*Let's go! The food here is not good!
Still prentending to be domineering as he took the lead in leaving after saying such a timid reason.
*Do you want me to take their heads? If brother Wigan found out that you're bullied under my watch, I will be sent to the mountain for a whole week as a punishment.
A ferocious looking man with a claw scar on his face looks submissive to the young manager as he ask for advice.
*Just keep it a secret from big brother. And next time, better know the enemy first. It's true that you can take their heads just like harvesting palay but you're causing a big trouble not only to big brother but to the whole tribe. Do you understand?
*I understand.
*Then you may go.
Using their native tongue in the conversation so most of the people around didn't understand.
This time, this young manager use english to say;
*Dear guests, sorry for the disturbance. Please enjoy your meal.
Said what should be told with a smile before leaving.
A girl who was insulted, the mood is not good and decided to have a rest in her small office.
Went to sit to her desk chair and find a relaxing position.
Staring at a framed picture on the table and couldn't help to sigh saying;
*Brother, when will you come back? Why do you still need to leave for an adventure? Why do you let your little sister miss you?
There's a series of question but no one answer.
She then close her eyes to take a nap...
