The night was approaching the day, as Hiver and Dete did their practice before heading once again to the ‘Milky Way’ for their second performance. This time, they were more confident, more daring and heroic. Orgol was with them, even though they brought the Orgol, but they only used it for some particular time. They wanted to show their magic skills by themselves, without the help of Orgol and beside, their job was to protect Orgol from ‘The Hunters.’
Dete gasped and he grasped his magic wand, the magic wand letting out brownish gases and an esoteric shadow like stars twinkling on in front of him, quickly he arose and threw his hat on the table, he turned his magic wand few times and an eagle emerged from inside of the hat. Hiver smiled, he can’t deny, Dete was improving days by days. So do he, and he wanted to improve more, because he had promise that his magician career would make Autumn felt proud and happy. He thought that both of them had clear about their own feelings and there were nothing that they wanted to hide; it was clear as crystal glasses, you could see everything inside the glass, which was their situation now.
Now, it was Hiver’s turn to practice his magic skills. He took 50 cards and twisted them to form a round shape, and then he took a card out of the 50 cards and he torn it to two. The other 49 was torn too, and then he put the card back, grafted it and the other grafting too. Hiver felt like everyone was clapping at him, so he bowed few times as the credits, then he felt like the audience throwing him roses, then he realized it actually his hat that was thrown by Dete who seemed annoyed and witty watched Hiver tried to felt the real atmosphere.
At 8.30 pm sharp, Hiver and Dete arrived at the ‘Milky Way’ for their second performances. They bumped with Autumn who had arrived earlier but she stood outside the restaurant talking with the bodyguards there. Hiver approached Autumn first and Dete followed him at the back. Autumn acted surprised seeing Hiver came towards her and she laughed few times when talked with Hiver.
At that time, Dete didn’t know what he should react. Did he should feel annoyed, angry or sad? He felt jealous, at the first place because Autumn didn’t treat him like that, she never laughed like that when talked with him, in fact she never talked friendly with him. Dete was dying to be with her, maybe shares some stories that could close his relationship with Autumn.
“So, shall I accompany you to your room?” Hiver’s request blew Dete’s wander mind. Autumn suddenly stared at Dete and he felt quite shy with the look so he pretended to do something else.
“No, I can go by myself, you just go straight to your dressing room, bye.”
Autumn walked away and left Hiver smiled to her.
“I think I’m improving a lot, man! I wish dad can see our performance just now. It was awesome, they would be proud… you know what, after our first salary, let’s call dad and bring them here, what you say?” Hiver asked Dete on their way to the dressing room after finishing their remarkable exceptional performances. Dete only smiled and nodded.
“I miss dad too, we’ll do that with our first salary.” he replied. Hiver nodded to Dete’s replies. Then, he stopped walking. His face was tensed.
“Dete, I forgot! I forgot, man! I left the Orgol on the stage, arghhhh....stupid! Stupid!” Hiver banged his head few times. He ran back towards the stage and took the Orgol while Dete continued his walking to the dressing room.
He passed Autumn’s room and suddenly his heart beating fast. He felt like he wanted to take a peek on what’s Autumn did in her room, maybe she did some makeover before she came out to the stage and singing. As Dete approached the room, he heard some noise, like people were quarreled in the room, he loomed his ears near to the door’s keyhole and he heard this conversation between Autumn and a guy.
“You know, I always wanted you to become mine. Since I knew that the darn little mouse Javier was dead, I ran to you. I want you, I desire you. I lose to Javier on a bid to get you from Corey, but I never give up. The reason is because I want to make you happy; I could give everything in this world if this is what you want!”
Dete could hear Autumn’s howled with the gloomy cried. He wanted to hear more, so he looked his way round and when he sure that Hiver still wandering at the stage, he drew his ear even closer to the door.
“Seth, I can’t and never could! I don’t want to involve on this thing again, it’s enough for me with Javier. It’s give me much-much experience that I think some people never wanted it happen in their life.
I love Corey, that’s why I did what he asked me to do. Now, he’s disappearing. Javier was dead; I wanted to start all over again. With a man who really cares about me, and I think I’ve found one and he’s not you. You already have Linda so stop it with me at once!” suddenly Dete heard someone was walking towards the door and held the door’s handle and tried to open it. Quickly, Dete hide behind the door.

~The Dream~
“Ah, so it was you who gave us the gift. Thank you, that’s such a good deed to us. How can I ever repay you?” Dete held Patrick’s hand. Patrick smiled.
“You don’t have to pay anything to me. It’s free, I gave to Hiver because I know he was capable to protect the Orgol and if you guys know how to use it for a good deed then I shall not blocking you. But, you must remember that Orgol is a precious stone, hunt by everyone especially ‘The Hunter’. They never stop.”
“Okay, I remember that. Thank you again,”
Patrick thought that was the time for him to dug Dete’s background a bit as he wanted to make sure that what he was thinking earlier was only mind’s game of a well-to-be retired magician who losing his integrity when he saw his own teacher get killed by the hunter.
“Tell me Dete… where is your family? Do they live with you?” when Dete heard the question, he looked down, bowed his head. His countenance started to change from gloomy to sorrow.
“Well, I have a father. He lived at Pantagonia now. I came here because of experience, you know… searching some experiences in order to become a great magician!” Patrick nodded his head.
“So, you said that your father is a magician? How great he was?”
“He’s the greatest. Along with Hiver’s daddy, they’re the greatest. Well, at Mundas they were and not now. For some unavoidable circumstances, we have to leave Mundas.” Patrick was amazed, Mundas? That nuts thing, that was the heaven of all magicians in this world. They have everything there… magic school, all the stage performances… it has been Patrick’s dreamt to live in Mundas and share experiences with all the magicians there. But, since his teacher was dead, he cancelled it and wanted to become normal again.
“Dete… I am longing to see Mundas! I can’t believe this; you used to live in Mundas… that’s why I can sense something different about you and Hiver. Actually both of you are the sons of the great magicians who lived and performed their magic there. Don’t you know? Mundas is very famous among the magicians across the world because of its legend.” Patrick looked at dete who seemed interested in his story but he can’t tell this young lad.
“ Dete… you will be the greatest magician as long as you didn’t argue something stupid with your loved one. Keep that Orgol nicely.”
Patrick then left Dete at the bench alone. Dete gasped a while, meeting with Patrick was like a dream, he was flying for a moment and then without he noticed he already in the ground. Chatting with him making Dete felt so nice, Dete started to make his way onto the ‘Milky Way’.
Patrick must be really special, because he got the Orgol and if ‘The Hunter’ didn’t try to harm him, Patrick would be the greatest magician now. Orgol with them now, I guess this is our luck. To achieve and continue what our fathers had left… magic is love.
The thought about Autumn had completely fade away, Dete move on to his next step… to bring back his family, unite them back. Most important, he wanted to help Hiver get away from the murder accusation.
The bell rang, letting out it’s piercing voice. Hiver quickly awoke from his sleep, he threw his blanket to Dete’s face who still sleeping. Dete also awoke then, the bell still ringing with the annoying ringing ever. After last night debut performances, Dete and Hiver went out to downtown, celebrating their first success and return home about 4.30 am. They only have 4 hours sleep and now its 7.30 am.
Dete looked at Hiver, hoping he would go and stop the door bell but Hiver only ignored Dete’s looks. Dete finally gave up and walked sluggishly towards the door. When he opened the door, he only could see Autumn was standing there with her sweet smile like autumn’s season, with her eyes colored like the leaves which fall on autumn and with her brunette hair.
“Autumn….” Dete could only said this when he saw her at that time. Hiver who intended to continue his sleep became unsettled hearing the name. He jumped from the bed and running towards the door. He pushed Dete a bit so that he could take a look, and he was smiling because it was his sweetheart.
“How did you know we are here?” Hiver asked her with gloomy voice.
“The manager of ‘Milky Way’ told me your address last night so that this morning I could pay you a visit.” Autumn showing off a basket, with an irresistible smells of food, or we could say breakfast.
“I miss the smell of hot dog and half-boiled eggs!” Hiver opened the door wide and invited Autumn in. Then, he worked on the messy table while Autumn tried to break the ice between Dete with giving him a smile. Dete only nodded his head when Autumn saw him.
They were having breakfast together that Monday morning. There were lots of topics been discussed by them, for Hiver it was the chance to get to know Autumn closer. He then grabbed the opportunity asking Autumn about her free time:
“Maybe we can go out together this noon. I heard there is a beautiful park newly open here. Wanna see it?” Autumn seemed blushed with the invitation. She only giggled few times.
Dete held his breath, actually there were so many things he wanted to share with Autumn but he couldn’t do it now. Hiver seemed so excited and he didn’t want to spoil it. So, he might just let Hiver and Autumn talked to each other. Without he realized, he actually was left alone by Hiver and Autumn, he didn’t know where both of them was disappearing, and he never wanted to know. Let it be this way, he didn’t want to hope too much about his relationship with Autumn as he realized day by day that it couldn’t working. They couldn’t be a lover.
At the park, Hiver and Autumn was walking side by side but never uttered a word. Both of them tried to get the right momentum to start a topic. Both of them were too careful because they were worried that one of them would get bored hearing some nonsense topic that they had practically wanted to talk about.
Finally, Hiver did some action to break the silence between them.
“So you’re a singer then, you’ve done such a great performance that night. I think you can go far; you could be a real singer. Just go to a recording company and shows your beautiful voice to them, I’m sure they’ll like it as I like it.”
Hiver tried to took some efforts to praise Autumn. She just smiled and replied it.
“I do singing because of surviving things in my life. I need to survive because all this while I only depends to…you know who. I don’t want to talk about it, I don’t want to remind anything about him.” her voice was gloomy.
Hiver nodded his head, he understood well. He saw it too and he was responsible to kidnapped Autumn for Javier.
“You know, I am really sorry because I used to be Javier’s men. But, then I realized that he’s actually doing maltreat you. I wish I could know it early, I can save you.” he smiled, and Autumn smiled too.
“What? If you knew me early, then you can save me? So, this magician has a power like the fictional heroes? You can save me by your magic? I doubt it,”
Autumn made her steps and went forward, but Hiver still standing there and stared at Autumn’s back. He just smiled, if I found Orgol earlier, then Orgol shall save you from Javier.
“You know I am the greatest magician, my dad was and I’m continuing it! One day, you would be proud!” he chased Autumn who has left him far behind at the park.
“You don’t have to pay anything to me. It’s free, I gave to Hiver because I know he was capable to protect the Orgol and if you guys know how to use it for a good deed then I shall not blocking you. But, you must remember that Orgol is a precious stone, hunt by everyone especially ‘The Hunter’. They never stop.”

~Hard Candy~
As Autumn walked into the room, Hiver and Dete was looking at each other and tried to emulate themselves so that they could realized this was not a dreamt. Hiver suddenly rose from the chair and ran to Autumn, he embraced her in his arms and the action taken by Hiver was quite made Dete felt uneasy. After all, he also chased the same woman. Hiver finally let go Autumn. She was excited and laughed to both of the guys.
“I never thought that we could meet again, after what had happened. Thank you for saving me from Javier. If you not there to help me, I don’t know what would be, stuck in his hell forever in my life.” Autumn’s voice was shaky. She nearly fell her tears again but quickly she wiped it from being falling.
“It’s okay, we understand you, Autumn. Now we have meet, I will protect you from anything.”
Hiver embraced her again, but this time Autumn felt quite uneasy and she tried to get away from the embraced. Hiver noticed that and he let Autumn escaped from him, she went to Dete who were standing at the corner.
“You didn’t talk to me, why? Do you had forget me?” she asked. Dete shook his head slowly and put his magician hat ahead of him.
“No… I never.” then, he made his way to the outside leaving Hiver and Autumn alone.
Hiver realized the golden opportunity left by Dete so he went closer to Autumn and smiled at her. Autumn also was staring at her with a deeper look from her brown eyes. Yes. he definitely like Corey. Autumn tried to take a look back on her past few years ago.
She met an extraordinary man, Corey. He was the one who brought her into this harsh world, harsh Papricorn. Because she believed Corey would marry her in this city, she loves Corey very deep and madly in love. But, Corey had sent her to a man called Jazhunta. That was good for nothing! He sold her to Jazhunta, for a prostitution. Autumn cried for three days, three nights. But, after what he had done to her, she still madly in love with him, until Javier came to pick her as his mistress, she still wanted him. But, Corey never showed up after that. He disappeared; some said that he was dead. Some believed that he had run to Barcelona, begun his new life with his wife and kids. Still never stopped Autumn from remembering him as the best guy who incinerate to her life, and when the first time she met Hiver, the same feeling that she felt to Corey appeared.
Hiver tried to break the quiet of Autumn with fixing her pendent hairs at the corner of her forehead. Autumn wanted to avoid the move but she was too late, she just smiled when she noticed that Hiver was fell in love with her.
“MRS AUTUMN, ONE MORE SONG! BABY LOVE!”
The crew’s shouting realized both of them from being too carried away with their feelings. Autumn walked slowly, leaving Hiver who was hoping that she could stay longer.
Dete stood outside the ‘Milky Way Restaurant’. He thought about Autumn, and how angry he was when Autumn only hugged Hiver and when his time came, she only asked him ‘did you forget about me?’
Well, that’s not right. How could she, I also saved her, why she was so biased? Only like Hiver and not me? Oh… is this a sign of jealousy? Am I being jealous right now? Dete gather his hand towards his face and gave a sighed.
I am not going to play snatching woman with my brother. Ahh…. maybe Autumn only hugged Hiver because she already felt something for him, and she only consider me as her friend, I was too carried away. Dete giggled few times, thinking of his jealousy and stupidity.
Suddenly, a man clapped Dete’s shoulder when Dete was ready to enter ‘Milky Way’. It was Patrivk Jim, but he didn’t recognize him as only Hiver who knew the guy. Dete felt strange when the man looked at him supplely. His glass greenish eyes were something; the man was smiling and asked him to sit at a bench near the ‘Milky Way’.
“So, what’s up? I has watch your great debut performance just now, and I think it was amazing for amateur like you. You’re Dete… am I right?” he must begun with a friendly introduction before he proceed to something serious.
“Oh, so you watch the performance? Thanks for the compliment, well, I’ve learn this quite while, when I saw my dad held a performance back at our old place before we came here… and when we move out to this city, we ran out of money and need a job that should support our living and I came out with an idea why don’t we use our gift to make this as a favorable circumstances?
So, Hiv…my friend, say yes and we started to practice and when the time comes, we got the job at this ‘Milky Way’ and here we are… presenting our debut and you like it.”
Patrick laughed, he clapped Hiver’s shoulder once again and they were laughing as they had knew each other for a long time. Suddenly, Patrick stopped laughing and stared at Dete.
“Boy, you didn’t know me? I am the one who give the Orgol to your friend, Hiver.”
Dete was surprised. He didn’t blink his eyes never for a second.
“I never thought that we could meet again, after what had happened. Thank you for saving me from Javier. If you not there to help me, I don’t know what would be, stuck in his hell forever in my life.” Autumn’s voice was shaky. She nearly fell her tears again but quickly she wiped it from being falling.
“It’s okay, we understand you, Autumn. Now we have meet, I will protect you from anything.”
Hiver embraced her again, but this time Autumn felt quite uneasy and she tried to get away from the embraced. Hiver noticed that and he let Autumn escaped from him, she went to Dete who were standing at the corner.
“You didn’t talk to me, why? Do you had forget me?” she asked. Dete shook his head slowly and put his magician hat ahead of him.

~Reunion~
The nervous finally fled from their mind as the sensation of audience started to burning their spirits. Hiver and Dete walked confidently on the stage, Hiver brought along the bag where Orgol was kept. Dete brought all the tools and wand. The audience who expecting a great show that night, gave them a big welcoming claps. Including Autumn who sat in front of them. Hiver and Dete noticed they and three of them changing smiles towards each other. Hiver also noticed Patrick Jim, complete with black suit sitting next behind Autumn, stared at him, a warning look, saying that don't let the people know that Orgol is with you...too dangerous. The Hunter still in this city, don't take any chance that would led you into a big risk of dying and lose the power of Orgol! Hiver nodded his head to Patrick as if he heard those whispering. Patrick only smiled and then he vanished.
"Hiv, tonight is our big night. We have everything and we can meet Autumn again." both of them smiling and were ready to begun their big hit debut.
Dete held his magic wand, so was Hiver. Both of them did the same step, they turned the magic wand for few times and the blinky stars came out from the magic wand, as a colourless smoke shrouded the stage, two box incinerated from nowhere. People who were mesmerized clapped their hand, Hiver and Dete stooped for the audience. But, the show didn't end for that, they had more to show.
Dete and Hiver turned again their magic wands, they looked at each other and smiling. then, they stopped turning it and wait for a while, after that, they made a hole on the boxes. They showed the holes towards the audience, and then once again, they turned back the wands and opened the boxes. Two chickens were coming out from the boxes. The crowds laughed and clapped their hands as a sign of satisfying.
As the closing, Hiver finally used his Orgol. Quietly, he rubbed the Orgol, saying the rare words while Dete communicated with the audience, saying that he would swapping place with Hiver. Hiver would be in this huge long box while he would be in a cupboard, after a magic trick had been done, both of them would swapping place and position. The audience dissing, didn't believe him. Hiver was ready and he arose, got into the long box while Dete entered the cupboard. Monitored by few assistant, the Orgol which has been rubbed by Hiver started to work. The audience waited with anticipation. The time had came, the assistants opened the long box and Dete has appeared, while Hiver came out from the cupboard.
They received such a tremendous clapped and credits from the audience. The manager seemed to like it and Autumn was overjoyed by their performance. They stooped once again, and then walked to the dressing room. Autumn didn't want to miss any chance, so she hurriedly went to the dressing room. This reunion is very important for her!
Patrick was uncertain whether Hiver was the right man. He sensed a very bad situation would developing in just few months. Maybe that was his feeling but his feeling never lied, he sensed a great danger that would dragged Orgol too. A fight, too extreme vengeance. And, Dete...everytime he saw Dete, he felt something wasn't right. He felt like Dete was closed to somebody that was so powerful and....Dete's countenance showing that the affluence of The True Magician's aura. Was Dete is a person that he neglected before this? Was Dete's function is magician's world is very important as much as True Magician? Dete was a mystery, Patrick walked away from the place but the truth was, he still feel curious about Dete. His head kept thinking about Dete, he need to know something about Dete. Something, at least...who were his parents?
Hiver and Dete hugged each other after the show was over.
"This is definitely our turning point for us, Dete! We'll be the greatest magician in this city and guest what...we have gain our popularity! people loves us! they likes us! Dete, do you realize it? soon, we'll bring our dad...and they will be proud!"
Hiver smiled, Dete nodded, he agreed. Now, they were nearer to clear back things that haunted Hiver, the murder..and everything. No..no...they actually want to move on, that's why they wanted to call their fathers to live with them once again.
The celebration was disturbed when Autumn came in, both dete and hiver didn't say a word, they kept looking at the beautiful Autumn and would they fall for the fall?
"Hiv, tonight is our big night. We have everything and we can meet Autumn again." both of them smiling and were ready to begun their big hit debut.
Dete held his magic wand, so was Hiver. Both of them did the same step, they turned the magic wand for few times and the blinky stars came out from the magic wand, as a colourless smoke shrouded the stage, two box incinerated from nowhere. People who were mesmerized clapped their hand, Hiver and Dete stooped for the audience. But, the show didn't end for that, they had more to show.
Dete and Hiver turned again their magic wands, they looked at each other and smiling. then, they stopped turning it and wait for a while, after that, they made a hole on the boxes. They showed the holes towards the audience, and then once again, they turned back the wands and opened the boxes. Two chickens were coming out from the boxes. The crowds laughed and clapped their hands as a sign of satisfying.
As the closing, Hiver finally used his Orgol. Quietly, he rubbed the Orgol, saying the rare words while Dete communicated with the audience, saying that he would swapping place with Hiver. Hiver would be in this huge long box while he would be in a cupboard, after a magic trick had been done, both of them would swapping place and position. The audience dissing, didn't believe him. Hiver was ready and he arose, got into the long box while Dete entered the cupboard. Monitored by few assistant, the Orgol which has been rubbed by Hiver started to work. The audience waited with anticipation. The time had came, the assistants opened the long box and Dete has appeared, while Hiver came out from the cupboard.
They received such a tremendous clapped and credits from the audience. The manager seemed to like it and Autumn was overjoyed by their performance. They stooped once again, and then walked to the dressing room. Autumn didn't want to miss any chance, so she hurriedly went to the dressing room. This reunion is very important for her!
Patrick was uncertain whether Hiver was the right man. He sensed a very bad situation would developing in just few months. Maybe that was his feeling but his feeling never lied, he sensed a great danger that would dragged Orgol too. A fight, too extreme vengeance. And, Dete...everytime he saw Dete, he felt something wasn't right. He felt like Dete was closed to somebody that was so powerful and....Dete's countenance showing that the affluence of The True Magician's aura. Was Dete is a person that he neglected before this? Was Dete's function is magician's world is very important as much as True Magician? Dete was a mystery, Patrick walked away from the place but the truth was, he still feel curious about Dete. His head kept thinking about Dete, he need to know something about Dete. Something, at least...who were his parents?
Hiver and Dete hugged each other after the show was over.
"This is definitely our turning point for us, Dete! We'll be the greatest magician in this city and guest what...we have gain our popularity! people loves us! they likes us! Dete, do you realize it? soon, we'll bring our dad...and they will be proud!"
Hiver smiled, Dete nodded, he agreed. Now, they were nearer to clear back things that haunted Hiver, the murder..and everything. No..no...they actually want to move on, that's why they wanted to call their fathers to live with them once again.
The celebration was disturbed when Autumn came in, both dete and hiver didn't say a word, they kept looking at the beautiful Autumn and would they fall for the fall?

~Turning Point~ part 2
"Okay...give me last chance, we'll make it! We just have some problems, ermm...we're sorry! Please, give us a chance!"
Dete begged to the manager. Yes, the manager was furious when they arrived late at the dressing room. Dete explained that they having some difficulties to get a taxi but the truth was they're overjoyed by Autumn's performance and forget their purpose that night. Seemed that their made up excuse was unacceptable by the manager and demanded them to leave the restaurant. A sorrow clearly painted in Hiver and Dete's face.
But, Hiver was thought of a brilliant idea that might attracted the manager back to hire them.
He slowly rubbed the Orgol that laid in his bag. (Hiver didn't let the Orgol out because of safety reasons). He whispered again the rare words and the purple smokes shrouded the surroundings. The manager seemed confuse and scared, the room started to shaking and everything in the room except for humans flying all over the place.
Hiver took his wand and pointed to the manager, some blinky stars appeared and a rabbit was playing next of the manager. He was surprised and clapped his hand, but the show was unfinished yet. Dete took his wand too and transformed the rabbit into a hungry wild puma. The manager screamed, Hiver rubbed again the Orgol and everything turned out normal again.
Suddenly, one of his worker came into the room and asked whether everyone was okay.
"No...no...i think we should prepared this two for our magic show tonight..."the manager replied.
Dete and Hiver looked at each other and cheering. Once again, they start the weird jiggled steps and hugging each other.
Autumn who was resting in her room took the flier that she found last evening and she stared again at the flier.
'THE GREATEST MAGIC SHOW TONIGHT. PERFORM BY : DETE & HIVER'
She had a smile on her lips, never thought that they would meet again. After few months, after her liberation. No, she's not really liberated. Autumn put back the flier and she laid down her back on a long chair. She was thinking about both of them. Both of them attracted her, since the Javier things going on, but she was more fond of Hiver. That guy reminds her a lot about Correy. Correy was her first love but a tragic love. Correy made her would go for everything and Correy is everything but that it was a one side love.
After seeing Hiver, she could saw a Correy's side with him. they way he talk and treat, just like Correy, just like she was the only woman in this world. How she loved it if Hiver fallen for her, she was too obsessed now. This was Correy's replacement for her. She couldn't wait, she must ran now, she must meet Hiver and state everything. That she was longing for her, and she was thinking if they could make it as a couple. Why not? she can felt his feeling towards her and she knew men really well! Men can give up anything but woman he loves. This is the best way, she couldn't give up Hiver too. Never!
But, how about Dete? Dete seemed mystery and more complicated than Hiver. Dete also attracted her but not as much as Hiver attracted her. Dete gave her such a complete feeling of being a woman. Such a mystery, his steps was mysterious, his talking was mysterious, he's like to hide something and as if a volcanoes waiting inside him to explode. that's the way she saw these two guys.
Autumn made her way to the outside, the show will start in any minutes. She chose to sat in front of the customers. Just to make sure that both men will noticed her and loose their way. She would make them collapse!!

~Turning Point~
The taxi that took them to 'Milky Restaurant' finally stopped to its destination. Hiver and Dete saw people came in and out from the restaurant. They still can hear a singer's voice sang few sings to entertain the customers and that's what they'll do in next few minutes. Somehow, the song calmed them a little bit. Neither hiver or Dete, both of them was nervous. After lot of practices they still nervous, Hiver checked the Orgol that was safe kept in his bag. Dete looked at Hiver, tried to look strong but honestly, he was afraid that he might screwed up and disappointing his friend. But he still smiling and tried to make few eye contacts with Hiver saying that 'it is okay'.
Dete made his first step and followed by Hiver. The restaurant was crowded that night with customers and they saw the singer on the stage, with her songs which calmed them just now. Hiver couldn't make it to the dressing room because he knew the singer and he was longing to meet the singer back! That was Autumn performing on the stage and he pulled Dete's shirt to make him see what happen.
Dete was mesmerized with Autumn, he didn't think that they'll meet again after the incidents. He smiled, felt fascinated with the woman. Hiver chose an empty table for him to sit for a while and enjoying Autumn's performance. Dete chose to stay with Hiver, both of them were fascinated and enchanted.
Autumn's soft husky voice rocked them to a never ending dream. They felt pleasure and started to forget what they came for. Their heart obviously beating fast and faster, even harder and hard to stop for some rest. This is a result after long term of seperation and longing for a enchanted woman.
In a blink, (in their condition maybe they'll feel in a blink) Autumn's performance was over and they just realized that they was late to meet the manager of this restaurant. Dete pulled Hiver when Hiver just about to walk and get Autumn.
"We should meet the manager just now!"
"Hey, but that's Autumn!"
"We can talk about that later!"
they ran to the dressing room. Lots of negative thoughts running towards their minds at that time, maybe this was their turning point to became a fresh loser.
Women, see what have you done?

Women, see what have you done?
~They Start With Orgol~
Dete saw the magic of Orgol, the magical stone burst it purple colour and started to shrouded the handkerchief with it's purple's smokes. Hiver still closing his eyes, his hand held tight to the Orgol, and finally he whispered some rare words. never heard by Dete and the handkerchief slowly transformed into a thin paper. Hiver opened his eyes, looking at Dete who still mesmerized with the magic. He smiled towards Hiver and took the Orgol which was still hot and fresh. He examined carefully the Orgol and finally placed it on the bed.
"Now, you believe me! See, i told you...this was not a joke, i'm not fooling people." Hiver sat back on the chair.
"okay, you speak the truth. I trust you, and...i have an awesome idea to share with you. This is related with Orgol."
"What is it?" Hiver lifted his both eyebrows.
"Do you know, the power is so strong and powerful, maybe we can use this to perform magic show and to help people who need help! You understand?" Dete asked him.
"What? We'll do magic show? Does anyone want to hire us? And....helping people..how we suppose to know anyone who need help?" Hiver was doubtful with Dete's idea. Dete tried to explain again but Hiver still felt suspicious and uncertain.
"Hiv, this is our only chance!We can be very successful if we use this Orgol as our guide! Hiv, i want to meet my dad again! I want to bring him here, and show him my success!" Dete tried once again to convince his best friend.
"That's make sense..but..."
"Listen to me, Hiv...this is our only chance....this Orgol came right on time."
Hiver nodded, he was smiling and held Orgol. He saw his future on Orgol, he saw everything, his father and he saw Autumn! Hiver was quite surprised when he saw her face in the Orgol. That's marked that he was missing her after months. Yes, he still thinks about her in every way. Maybe Orgol will note it when she was around this sity so that he could search for her.
A new day all over again. Dete woke up and noticed that a note was laying under the door. It was from the owner of the room that the lived in. The note said that:
"Dete and Hiver...the restaurant's owner has agree to give you a job. Get ready for new tricks and some payment!!"
Dete was smiling and he looked at Hiver who still wrapped in his blanket. He then move towards the table's drawer and took out Orgol.
"You give me luck!" Dete kissed Orgol, he quietly kept back the Orgol ti it's original place and was surprised when Hiver stared at him. He ddidn't know when Hiver was awake because he still sleeps last time he saw Hiver.
"You scare me!" Dete rubbed his chest.
"Dete, don't hoping too much with Orgol. I think it's wrong..."
"What? I'm just saying that it may give us some luck, is that wrong? Better get ready, we'll practice all day long because tonight....we'll have our first performance." Dete told the news with exciting-controlled voice.
Hiver smiled and then they were screaming, that was a relieved scream from them. And then, they started to jiggled and dance few steps that made the room's owner knocking their door several times to slow them down.
The old bungalow used for music teaching long time ago about 1801 and now, abandoned... became their secret place in Papricorn. With the Orgol that safely kept on a medium size of black bag, Hiver and Dete entered the place with all the other tools for practicing their magic trick for their debut performance tonight. Suddenly, Hiver thought of 'the hunter'. If they could sensed this and he would be a dead meat.
Patrick had warned him that 'the hunter' would do anything to get the Orgol because they were so fond about this magic stone. If they could sell it, they would make profit for millions and billions but our magician's world would be destroy. They would have no power to entertain, The True Magician cannot longer protect his all magician around the world anymore.
Orgol was the centre of everything and Hiver was proud holding it right now, and he wanted to tell this to his dad. How proud he was, he would became a great magician like his dad and his Uncle Jack. He also got a chance to protect helpless people. That makes him became more proud and strong, and would this be a chance for him to make up with Autumn when they meet one day?
"Okay! Hiv, you can generate Orgol...i'll prepare the tools...i swear tonight, will be a greatest night, will be the turning point for everyone!!"
Dete took out his magician's hat and wore it.
"Now, you believe me! See, i told you...this was not a joke, i'm not fooling people." Hiver sat back on the chair.
"okay, you speak the truth. I trust you, and...i have an awesome idea to share with you. This is related with Orgol."

The Magician----Orgol Part 2
Patrick looked the thoroughfare that was wide spread out in front of them. Hiver's anticipation growing bigger and bigger waiting Patrick told him something. Finally, Patrick started it:
"Hiver, 23 years ago... i lived in a city call Ritardo. Yeah, Rotardo was a good place and i was a magician's apprentice under my teacher, Jimenez. He was a great magician at the city and many believes that he once met The True Magician and The True Magician gave him a magic stone called Orgol. The magic stone is very powerful...it's functioning to protect all magician's power in this world.
But, sadly...there were and are always have some 'magician hunter' who are fond to have the stone. So, my teacher got killed in one of the incident that cause him to give the stone to me.
He told me to take good care of this and when the day is come for me to give this to someone else, i must look for a magician with great aura as same as The True Magician's. And, the first day i met you i know you are the one. You have the same aura as he is...i don't understand this. Maybe you'll become the greatest one after this or maybe you're his heir"
None of his explanation made Hiver felt understandable. Hiver just felt that he was rumbling superstitious things with him, maybe he was half insane. Hiver ignored him again but Patrick never give up. To ensure Hiver, he held his hand. Hiver was quite surprised when Patrick dragged him to follow him. He shouted easing down the road and most of the townspeople looked at them.
"Help me! This guy is insane!!" Patrick continued to dragged him.
"I shall bring you to my place. I will hand you the Orgol."
They entered Patrick's caravan. He speed up his caravan and entered a forest with narrow path between the oaks. Hiver started to shiver. He looked around, felt really terror and horror shrouded the atmosphere.
"We've arrived...the time has come."
Patrick got out from the caravan and he asked Hiver to come too. But, Hiver never wanted to get out.
"Orgol is waiting...." Patrick gave him a grinned.
They entered an old hut, the hut smelt stale and fusty, rusty and all that didn't stop Patrick from taking a crystal box. He opened it and suddenly a blue light coming out inside the box. Hiver was eager and he move closer to Patrick. Patrick showed im what inside the crystal box.
Inside it, lied a precious shining green emerald look alike stone. with a striking blue light, Hiver wanted to touch it and Patrick let him touched the stone. The stone felt cold and rough. Hiver looked amusedly towards patrick.
"It's yours now...you can have it. Protect it, keep it... I shall tell you that this stone is very magic, it can help you to save this world from being harm. But, make sure that you don't feel greedy, proud or snob when you have it. Always share it with people. But, beware of 'magician hunter'... as soon as they know that you have this stone, they will hunt you until the end of the day."
The Orgol had been in his hand, the blue light shining again, caused his eyes to became closed and Hiver was clueless. He thought that he might be fainted.
When he opened his eyes, Dete was beside him. He was already at his home. On his bed, but the stone still safe in his hand. He blinked his eyes and looked at Dete. Dete looked towards him with lots of questions that he need to ask.
"People found you fainted at the bus stop. What you've done? Are you fighting with the gangster at that area?" Hiver shook his head. He then looked at the stone.
"I met a guy. His name was Patrick and he gave me this. This is very precious stone, it's Orgol. He gave me this stone because he believe in my great aura as a magician. He said that, there was a 'Great True Magician' and he have his teacher being the 'True Magician's apprentice. 'The True Magician' gave his teacher this Orgol and when his teacher got killed by the 'magician hunter' who hunting this stone, he heired this stone. And the time is come for him to hand this stone to someone else, and he found me. I got a great aura, he said!"
Dete wasn't unsure but he tried to believe the story. Hiver was so excited telling him and he need to listen to please Hiver.
"So, where is Patrick?" Dete asked him.
"I don't know, Dete. He was vanished... just like that but this stone. Hey! You gotta believe me, this is true!"
"Okay...okay...but what we need to do with this stone anyway?"
"He said that this stone got a magic power, it can save the world. Maybe, if we use this to upgrade our magic skills and make some earnings then it would be great don't you think?"
Dete took Orgol from Hiver's hand and he examined the Orgol. Looked elegant but mystery. He shook his head and gave a long sighed.
"I want you to make a try first."
"Fine!" Hiver replied.
Dete nodded and he took a handkerchief from his pocket.
"Turn this handkerchief to a paper using the Orgol."
He challenged Hiver, Hiver agreed and he stood from the bed. Holding Orgol and closed his eyes......

The Magician----Orgol
Clock indicated that it was almost 10 pm, Hiver packed all the left things at the table and clean it up before returned from his work place. He didn't bring the duplicate key so he must called Dete and asked him to return before him. After closing the place, he made his steps to the nearest phone booth and called Dete's cellphone.
"Yea, bro. Get home early, okay? I left the keys. Okay, bye."
He hang off and stepped out of the booth. He tighten a bit his jacket and made his way to hook a taxi. So, Hiver waited at the taxi station before a guy came towards him. He smiled to Hiver, but he deliberately replied the smile. The man sat beside him.
"You seems new here. Where is your origin place, lad?"
"Noted that it's not your business." Hiver replied it. He was laughing with the answers.
"My name is Patrick Jim. I lived in Papricorn for 23 years and you're seems new. I just want to get to know this newbie. I believe that you don't want to be disturb, so...i will make my way." He arose from the bench.
"Thank you." Hiver gave a cynical smile.
Patrick stared at Hiver's rugged countenance.It was scanty friendly with him. Patrick was smiling and he started the conversation. Patrick knew there were magicians aura around this city and he tried to find who was responsible brought that aura into this city. Maybe that aura belonged to a person with sordid feelings to him or to this place, so he should that person as soon as possible before his misdeed became huge and started to hurt the innocence.
Behind this gaiety city, he laid to protect it and himself. It had been years since the hunters chasing him for Orgol. He protected Orgol and the time had came for him to search The True Magician and handed him the Orgol that was with him. These months had been a difficult month when he sensed the strong powerful magician's aura and he believed that aura was connected with The True Magician. Finally, a week earlier, he met this Hiver who worked at the restaurant. He sensed that the aura was belong to that man. He should handed this Orgol before it's too late. The hunters would quickly detected him and Orgol after he managed to escape 23 years ago from them. If this Orgol fallen in their hands, the magician's world would be destroyed. Everything about magic would disappeared in this world, there is no magic anymore and all the magician would suffer. So, The Orgol needed to be handed by a right deserve person. A person who had the connection with The True Magician, father of all magician. This person wisely need to be property legally entrusted so that he safely return Orgol to the True Magician.
Here he was, sitting at the bus stop. Getting closer with the right person. somehow he need to made Hiver spoke with him even once, so that he would be understand about his job as Patrick's messenger to send this Orgol.
"Well, nice weather tonight. You probably loves this, and you probably doesn't want this calm nice weather changing into worst weather ever. Don't you?"
Hiver ignored the old man. He didn't have anything occasional to talk about. So, he better shut up before he said something stupid and left the old man with a bad impression about him. So, he might just left the old man rumbling alone and beside the bus were getting near and he need to go home. Felt really drawn with all the hustle bustle work the whole day.
"So, young man. Before i talk further... why don't you introduce yourself to me? Consider me as a senior citizen, you probably didn't want to be disrespectful, right?" Patrick didn't give up because he was confident that this young lad were the one. He believed,this young lad got connection with The True Magician.
"okay..okay...! Call me Hiver, i live not far from here but still taking the bus on way home. I lived with my friend, okay? What do you want from me?" Hiver replied it, but immodest. Patrick chuckled when Hiver started to get mad.
"Hiver, I'm going to tell you something but please...you have to listen this. Very important and urgent after 23 years i was searching the right one,now i know that you are,so..." Patrick quiet for a while.
Hiver waited with so much anticipation to hear what's next, while Patrick still find a force to explain about what happened 23 years ago...
"Yea, bro. Get home early, okay? I left the keys. Okay, bye."
He hang off and stepped out of the booth. He tighten a bit his jacket and made his way to hook a taxi. So, Hiver waited at the taxi station before a guy came towards him. He smiled to Hiver, but he deliberately replied the smile. The man sat beside him.
"You seems new here. Where is your origin place, lad?"
"Noted that it's not your business." Hiver replied it. He was laughing with the answers.
"My name is Patrick Jim. I lived in Papricorn for 23 years and you're seems new. I just want to get to know this newbie. I believe that you don't want to be disturb, so...i will make my way." He arose from the bench.

Back To Basis
Police Station---Autumn sat, agitated waiting the officer to come clean about her situation at that time. She knew that she had killed Javier, and proud of that. At least that was the very best proud thing she could do in her life rather than wasted her time like she did before this. Now, without Javier her movement would be easy and readily. Without his evil whispered threat, she would be much peaceful than ever. Without anybody looked at her face, Autumn engrossed a smiled on her lips.
Hiver arrived soon, at the police station. His eyes wildly looking for Autumn and when he finally saw her, he was quickly went to her and embraced her with all the forces on his heart. Autumn quiet shocked with that but she simply get used to it. Then, both of their eyes were met.
"I'm so sorry...i will do anything possible to liberate you, okay?" Hiver's eyes were full with determination. And it was so fierce as a lion's eyes tried who was hunting his pray. At least he knew that Autumn did that just because to defend herself from being attacked by Javier, from being dragged back to her former unstoppable world of Javier that was once filled with misery and loneliness of women around him, women that he never appreciate. Autumn surely didn't want to be part of the world again, she wanted to make a new move which has been blocked by Javier, for his own never ending stupid miserable lust.
The thought has been there for a while, now all gone. The officer came between them and delivered a news. They were listening.
"we have received Mr.Jack-Andre Dete's report about an abuse happened between Mr. Javier Montaigne and Mrs. Autumn Carpenters. We've received the fully report and therefore, the administration has concluded that the murder was a self-defense act. However, Mrs. Autumn need to be put in jail, for 7 months. Please, follow us."
Autumn nodded, she seemed so calm and clearly received the penalization from the police. Hiver looked at her, felt sorry and all wrong, he held her hands and smiled.
"we'll meet again, Autumn. I swear, I'll be return here, to find you."
Autumn nodded her head, she was smiling and left Hiver without any word but she convinced him in her own way, her sight and smiled that telling Hiver she would wait for him to pick her anytime after this.
Two weeks from that day, everything return to normal. Dete and Hiver has returned to their home and performed their daily routine. They will work at night and day. Earning extra money to support their life in Papricorn. Or, when they was free, they would practicing their magic skills. While for Dete, sometimes he would be looking a banner saying that they need a skillful magician but he never found it since now. Hiver likely to stay focus on his two jobs, first as a salesman and at night he would become a pub watchman. It's went the same with Dete, this was they had to do for living.
And sometimes, Autumn would come slipped away to Hiver's mind with her tragic stories and the stories end. 7 months was a long wait, he probably couldn't meet Autumn after this. Maybe that girl had forget him, who knows? Hiver telling himself to stop dreaming of her. She probably in jail, suffering the sentences and he couldn't do anything to calm her, maybe Autumn wasn't for him. But, if they were destined to meet again, why not? He was ready to that time.
Dete's thought also revolving the same. He always remembered Autumn, and he didn't know why lately he seemed really want to meet her and talk with her. Was this an infatuation? Dete shook his head and saying, this is wrong. There's no chances for them to meet again and.. he was unsure if he like Autumn because in the beginning, he didn't feel anything towards her. If Autumn and Summer met, that would be the end of the world, Autumn and Summer never met because Winter would take the place first...

-------The Magician------ Autumn's Freedom (Part 2)
Javier stepped forward and stared the two young lad with his fierce eyes. He held his revolver tightly, imagined that he was smacking them, especially Autumn. Then, Javier's husky voice broke the silence.
"no one can run from Javier...including you, so...what are you going to say now?" he pointed his revolver to Dete. Hiver quickly took action and tried to avert the revolver from Javier's hand but he was stopped by Javier's men. Javier was shocked and upset with the incident.
"kill this two men!" he ordered.
All of Javier's men surrounded Dete and Hiver. Every moves was very cautious now. One of Javier's men attacked them on right side, Dete nearly lost it but Hiver protecting Dete and fought them. The war has begun and they were both struggling to protect each other.
Javier stopped from enjoying the moment watching Dete and Hiver been beaten by his men. He moved to Autumn who already on the ground, he stared on her deeply and closer his face to hers.
"you can't run, not forever...and i'm here to kill you. It's so sad when thinking that you will be dead in this way, my love."
Javier pointed his revolver to her. He was ready to pull the cock, Autumn looked at his fingers, which it was wrapping around the revolver's cock. Dete and Hiver didn't care about the fought anymore as soon as they saw Javier was ready to shoot Autumn. They were screaming begging Autumn to run but Autumn has plotting something else.
She knew that this was her only last chance, to reclaim back her freedom that she left long time ago. She had to have it and had to do it, she didn't care if after this she would be hate by people for centuries but this was the golden chance. She hate javier and god knows how she regretted when she agreed to be an item with Javier. Money is everything, but if she had money and Javier...she would not chose both of them. She needs money, but with a man who didn't have a beast's mask like Javier. Today he was loving, tomorrow he would be cold...she hates that and she had decided.
Autumn have all her might and forces to stood up in front of Javier and she stared to him with a shining fierce eyes as a lioness, she quickly made her moves by kicking Javier's left leg and grabbed the revolver from him as fast as she can. Then, she pointed the revolver to him. Javier looked surprised with Autumn, Autumn smiled, without a doubt she release the shot and incurred exactly at Javier's chest, where his heart was located. Autumn held her breath and she was totally conscious upon her action. She let go the revolver, in the other side she was scared because she killed someone but in another one side, she was happy because she's freed.
Dete and Hiver was shocked plus impressed. They kept staring at Autumn and Hiver tried to moves his feet and walked to her but he couldn't. Maybe Autumn need to be alone this time.....

-------The Magician------ Autumn's Freedom
Javier looked at his diamond brand new watch. It's 1245 am already and the two guys still didn't show up. He was quite doubtful with how they would do the work that has been given. Autumn is hard, stubborn, firm and everything that wasn't easy. She would not easily beaten by those two guys, she would fight back, she would do anything to make sure that Javier won't find her again. Well, Autumn...it's not that easy. I swore, even if you went to deepest part of ocean, or have a shelter in a dragon's fiery mouth, i'll be there... to take you back with me. Because, you inly deserve to die on my hand...not someone else. I have determined, Autumn. You bitch betrayal!
Javier day-dream was interrupted by one of his men. He looked fiercely to the guy, but he still made himself brave and walked to his big boss. Giving an important information to Javier, shocking betrayal information.
"Dete and his friend, betrayed us. They took Autumn ran, or in order of more shocking terms, they save her from you, boss!" Javier stood from his chair spontaneously. His eyes were big, stared deeply to his man. He cursed Dete and Hiver, slowly. Then, he took his riffle, checking the bullets and ordered all of them to track the betrayals.
"they think they good?!" the van that took Javier, began to move with it's maximum speed, broken the silence of the cold night.
Dete with mix feelings, drive the car, they still got no where place to go. They knew that Javier has already know about this and he must busy, non-stop searching three of them. Hiver who quite for long time, voice up.
"Autumn, do you know where is a place that he could not track us?" he turned his head at back seat and saw Autumn, still frightening but she still can talk. Autumn shook her head.
"i can't think of anything right now." she then, bowed her head back.
Hiver was looking at Dete, hoping that his best friend can figured out a place, hidden from Javier. But, Dete also shook his head.
"let's find a cheap inn and spend the night there, and...we run the next day." Hiver gave his suggestion. Dete smiled (fake)
"we run again? i don't agree... Hiv, how many times more that require both of us become a refugee? We came to Papricorn, ran from Pantagonia, we came to Pantagonia, ran from Mundas and now what? And, we did it just because a woman?"
Autumn heard the talk and she immediately felt guilty and a bit sad with Dete. Hiver sighed. He understand but he cannot leave Autumn, facing Javier.
"Dete, i just want to help her. You surely doesn't want her get killed! This is important, Dete...maybe you can lodge a police report!"
"No way! A police report? Hiv, Javier is a very famous, rich person, there's no way that police could take that, he can easily bribe them, so what's the point?"
The conversation ended there. Neither Hiver or Dete could speak more, if they were, then they must ended it with a fight of a big debate. For Dete, he wold not having any fight with Hiver just because of a woman, for Hiver, he willing to have it, as long as he can save and protect Autumn, he would be satisfied enough. Autumn who sat at back-seat, looking through the car window and saw a very long dark night coming up.
Finally, Dete found an inn nearest and decided that they should spend the night at the inn while figuring a way out from this situation. Before entering the room, Hiver came to Autumn, talked with her.
"don't worry, just sleep well, as long as i be with you, you got nothing to worry about." then, Hiver left her, slowly but he still looking at her although he has gone far from her. Autumn could give only a smile. She was mesmerized by Hiver's charm and calmness. He surely can handle her sometimes.
The next day...
Hiver woke up from his sleep, still sleepy but he qiuickly went to bathroom, washed his face and tooth before went outside the inn and looked for Dete. (notable that when Hiver woke up, Dete was gone)But instead finding Dete, he found Autumn who already at the lobby, wearing pink-blue dress and pink skirt. She looked fresh and pure, Hiver was fascinated by the appearance.
Autumn saw Hiver was looking at her and she quickly waved at him. Hiver replied it and without waiting any longer, he ran to Autumn. saying good morning and so on...
"I was looking for my friend, Dete. Did you see him?" he asked. Autumn shook her head and lifted her shoulder.
Then, Hiver made his move, offering Autumn to take a walk before they left the inn. Autumn agreed and both of them were heading to the inn's park.
"could you tell me a bit about yourself, what's make you snared with Javier?"
Autumn nodded her head slowly after hearing Hiver's question. she knew, it was quite difficult to answer it but she tried.
"I came from a poor family, i am the eldest of my siblings and we're very poor...i've to discontinued my school. But, my sister didn't. i have to find money as my parents were so old, they cannot work anymore. So, i arrived at this city...after...few works.., i met Javier, a friend introduced me to him and we became pairs.
He offered me so much, money, branded items and yes, my family were happy when i send them money but they didn't know that i earn money in this way. And i have no intention to tell them, but lately...Javier treat me different. He have another one, and i felt unsafe...i threaten him to leave him and he was mad, and he...several times beat me, hit me, hurt me...one day i couldn't stand this so i ran...and he hunting me, until now..." Autumn's tears fell down to her pink cheeks. Hiver felt sorry and he wiped her tears with his palm. Autumn was a bit shocked but she felt comfortable.
"I'm sorry, i'll help you to get rid of Javier from your life. We didn't know that he was that evil. We only accept his offer after he showed us so much money and we desperately need it, now..i was regret accepting his offer. I cannot let you be his victim, Autumn." Hiver tried to smile to give her a calmness. Autumn nodded her head.
"never mind, i'm okay." she held his hand. Hiver smiled too.
Dete arrived and he saw Hiver and Autumn in the park, close with each other with Hiver's hands on her cheeks. He felt uneasy about that, he afraid that Hiver has fallen for her. that's not good because he knew why Javier wanted Autumn so bad. He knew what kind of woman Autumn if she was willingly to become Javier's mistress and that kind of woman doesn't suit with Hiver at all. dete walked slowly to them, and sighing. Both of them looked surprised with Dete's presence.
"where are you, Dete?" Hiver asked him.
"police station, lodge a report about Javier's abuse to her."
Autumn and Hiver looked strange, Hiver already suggested that but Dete was the person who objected it harshly. Saying that no point doing that.
"maybe that was the only thing that we could do now.Let's breakfast and then we run." dete left them, Hiver was smiling to Autumn, he tried to tell her that Dete actually cares about her. Then, they followed Dete to the inn's restaurant.
After breakfast, Dete was ready to took out the car from the car park and asked Hiver with Autumn waited him in front of the main entrance of the inn.
Dete quickly walked to the car lot and he saw the same familiar car like the car the he drive now, he knew it was the same fashion and the same person owned it. His heart beat fast, without waiting any longer, he ran back to the main entrance and get his friends.
"Hiv!! They already here, Javier is here!"
Dete looked really anxious and quickly ran towards Autumn, so as Hiver. Both of them grabbed Autumn's arms and ran, avoiding from Javier but he already saw three of them tried to run and quickly he ordered his men to stopped them before they could get away.
Hiver realized that they have been chased by Javier's men but he wouldn't give up that easily, he must protect Autumn, so he fasten his steps as fast as he can but Autumn couldn't cope with the situation, she didn't usual to run really quick and she had to stop, begging Dete and Hiver to stop too.
"we should run!!" Dete shouted to her, but Autumn only apologizing, saying that she can't make it anymore.
They were too late, now Javier's men were already in front of them. With each of their gun, they smiled and showing off the gun to them. Dete and Hiver stepped forward, backing up Autumn. Then, Javier appeared, grinned but upset, took out his own revolver.
Javier day-dream was interrupted by one of his men. He looked fiercely to the guy, but he still made himself brave and walked to his big boss. Giving an important information to Javier, shocking betrayal information.
"Dete and his friend, betrayed us. They took Autumn ran, or in order of more shocking terms, they save her from you, boss!" Javier stood from his chair spontaneously.

"I'm sorry, i'll help you to get rid of Javier from your life. We didn't know that he was that evil. We only accept his offer after he showed us so much money and we desperately need it, now..i was regret accepting his offer. I cannot let you be his victim, Autumn." Hiver tried to smile to give her a calmness. Autumn nodded her head.
"never mind, i'm okay." she held his hand. Hiver smiled too.
Dete arrived and he saw Hiver and Autumn in the park, close with each other with Hiver's hands on her cheeks. He felt uneasy about that, he afraid that Hiver has fallen for her. that's not good because he knew why Javier wanted Autumn so bad. He knew what kind of woman Autumn if she was willingly to become Javier's mistress and that kind of woman doesn't suit with Hiver at all. dete walked slowly to them, and sighing. Both of them looked surprised with Dete's presence.
"where are you, Dete?" Hiver asked him.
"police station, lodge a report about Javier's abuse to her."
Autumn and Hiver looked strange, Hiver already suggested that but Dete was the person who objected it harshly. Saying that no point doing that.
"maybe that was the only thing that we could do now.Let's breakfast and then we run." dete left them, Hiver was smiling to Autumn, he tried to tell her that Dete actually cares about her. Then, they followed Dete to the inn's restaurant.
After breakfast, Dete was ready to took out the car from the car park and asked Hiver with Autumn waited him in front of the main entrance of the inn.
Dete quickly walked to the car lot and he saw the same familiar car like the car the he drive now, he knew it was the same fashion and the same person owned it. His heart beat fast, without waiting any longer, he ran back to the main entrance and get his friends.
"Hiv!! They already here, Javier is here!"
Dete looked really anxious and quickly ran towards Autumn, so as Hiver. Both of them grabbed Autumn's arms and ran, avoiding from Javier but he already saw three of them tried to run and quickly he ordered his men to stopped them before they could get away.
Hiver realized that they have been chased by Javier's men but he wouldn't give up that easily, he must protect Autumn, so he fasten his steps as fast as he can but Autumn couldn't cope with the situation, she didn't usual to run really quick and she had to stop, begging Dete and Hiver to stop too.
"we should run!!" Dete shouted to her, but Autumn only apologizing, saying that she can't make it anymore.
They were too late, now Javier's men were already in front of them. With each of their gun, they smiled and showing off the gun to them. Dete and Hiver stepped forward, backing up Autumn. Then, Javier appeared, grinned but upset, took out his own revolver.

------The Magician----- The Day Of All Meetings
Without waiting any longer, Dete and Hiver chased the woman, all together with 3 men who also was chasing the woman. They wondered, why so many people chasing her? Suddenly, she disappeared from the sight, through the brick wall. Hiver caught her hiding behind the wall and gave signs to Dete. Dete understood and they walked almost deliberately to the brick wall.
She held her breath, knowing that they still looked after her. Then, she realized that she held some money in her hand, maybe she was mistaken and took it from the man when she was trying to run away. Autumn put the money inside her purse and when she was convinced that they were not chasing her, Autumn slowly prepared her steps to go. Suddenly, Hiver attacked her from behind and closed her mouth with his hand while Dete blocking Autumn from ran away.
"Give me back the money!" Dete tried to be more harsh, as he felt awkward to do that to a woman. He never talked to a woman, much more to be rude with them but this woman was over her limit. And he couldn't believe that a woman can be a robber! Autumn struggled, tried to make Hiver let her go.
She collected all her might and raised her legs, kicking Dete who stood in front of her and her ankle hardly hit Hiver's ribs. Hiver screamed and because of the pain, both of his hands holding his ribs and Autumn got away. Dete arose and tried to chase her but the 3 men who also chasing the woman appeared from now where and stopped Dete from making another move.
"we need you, let's go." they took Dete and Hiver, loaded them in a black shining van and left the place.
They finally arrived at a building, nicely build with bricks and red in color. It looked almost an office to them. The 3 men who wore black tuxedo took them inside and placed them at the lobby. Minutes later, one of them came and took Dete and Hiver inside a room. There was a man, half bald,wearing spectacles, and plain t-shirt smiling towards them. Please sit, he said at first.
"you must be really amused, why i call both of you up?" he said again.
"my name is Javier Kielbasa. Please, don't be scare...i'm not going to hurt you guys. I just want to ask your help." Javier ordered one of his man to give them coffee. After the man left the room, Javier took out a briefcase and opened it. The content of the briefcase actually surprised Dete and Hiver. Money, so many money...that much money, they never saw it in their 25 years of life. Dete grinned.
"what can we do, Mr. Javier?" Hiver looked at Dete. He didn't think that Dete was agreed to help javier, moreover they didn't know what kind of job that man would offering.
Javier gave them a picture, a picture of a woman. They were quite surprised because the woman in the picture was the same woman who took their money. Dete and Hiver looked at each other. They knew this job wouldn't be an easy one. then, the looked was focusing to Javier. Javier nodded his head.
"Autumn Carpenters. A slut and an impostor. Such a genius wicked woman but she can't get away with me this time, her betrayal for me and she took all my money with her. Well, my boys already get the money but i still want her. Let's finish her."
Dete shocked, finished? Meaning that, they have to kill? He quickly returned the briefcase back to Javier. Javier looked a bit confused and then he laughed.
"your mission is to bring her to me. And the other stuff, don't bother, i know what i should do after i got her. you don't have to worry. Beside, this is big amount for you. can you resist it?" Javier gave them the briefcase back.
"i need to talk with my friend."
Dete pulled Hiver's hand and they step backward from Javier. Hiver was quite amused with Dete's action. They was doubtful that they would do the job.
"are you sure, Dete? i don't think we should interfere... let the woman alone." Hiver convinced him while his eyes were kept on Javier.
"Hiv, you nuts? that's lots of money, we can earn that huge amount in our current job! we need the money, to pay rent, to buy foods, stuff and so on..do you still want to refuse it? that is insane..insane..
beside, we just going to find her and take her to Javier. that's easy, after that we would not bother them. it's easy!"
Although it was not really convinced Hiver but he agreed, for the sake of money. They have to get the money, it's really important for them to continue life in this city. Moments later, both of them were back at Javier's place and agreed.
"good, then you shall take this money, it's only the preceding...when you bring her to me, there's more offering."
They were smiling, thinking about the offering that they would get after this.
Autumn was rushing, climbing the stairs to her apartment. As soon as she arrived, she quickly opened the main door and locked it when she entered the apartment. Autumn drew a bit the curtain and peeking at the window, to see whether Javier's men were still looked for her. She felt relieved when there were no one outside the apartment area. She sat on a chair, put her purse on the dining table beside her. She remembered the money that she mistakenly took it from 2 men, and they were chasing her too to get their money back. But, she was rushing and there's no time for her to return them their money. Guilt has shrouded her heart and she hope that they would meet again.
The same night, Autumn was ready to leave the place. She packed all her clothes together with the other stuff on a baggage and then some jewelery, she put it on a butterfly-shape box. Suddenly, she got the feeling that someone was watching over her. Autumn looked through the window, in the darkness of the night, she saw two men, wearing black long jacket stood outside and looking really sharp at her apartment block. Autumn shivered, maybe Javier ordered his men to take her again. She quickly went to the front and stared at the door, waiting or figuring out something to blocking them from breaking-enter her house.
Minutes later,they've already in front of the door. Dete and Hiver knew it was locked, they knocked the door. The plan was not forcing too much, but if she was hard, then they would use the hard way too.
"Autumn, we know that you're inside the house! Now open up!" Dete knocked the door. No answer from the inside.
"look, if you doesn't want anyone get hurt, you better show up! Javier wants you, and make this job easier for us!" Dete said it again. Hiver just quiet and only stood beside him.
Autumn cannot bear it anymore, this is more than enough. She tried to ran through the window but she realized that it was too high, she might be end up her life if she jumped from the window. The knocking started to become harsh and loud, the door's lock almost loose and her heart was beat so fast, she cannot move to anywhere, she was stiffed and only stood there waiting for them to enter.
Finally, Dete and Hiver appeared. Autumn was speechless but then she found a strength and voice up. She took an umbrella as her weapon from them.
"look, please don't hurt me! you don't know that Javier is an animal. He was capable to do anything to me, if you guys bring me to him... i will die! please have mercy, i'm innocent, and how could you to assist him and let me dead? no..please, im begging you! Look, you're the guys that i took the money from you and i'm sorry, i was wrong, i mistakenly took it from you! i was rushing and i didn't realize that i took the money, but it was unintentionally!
Look, i still got the money!" Autumn moved to the dining table, she took her purse and gave it to Hiver. Hiver took it and he nodded to Dete.
"i think she's right, she was mistaken. She didn't spend it. Exactly the same amount when we had it the last time. Dete, i think we should let her go. Maybe, this is true. What are we doing is not right, we cannot assist someone to kill..."
dete ogled his eyes to Hiver, hate it when Hiver softened his heart and tried to do the same thing with him too.
"come-one! maybe she's lying to us! look, bring her to Javier and it's all done! we got the money, we need the money!" his voice became louder than usual.
"we not that desperate, bro! you still remembered that we came here to forget the accusation given by them to me, an assassin, now when we came here and have a new life we will really do the thing that we didn't do back at Pantagonia?"
Hiver questioning Dete now. And, Dete was quiet. He got his point, the ran from Pantagonia, from their fathers because they want to proyect Hiver from being accused as a killer, now they nearly to do the same thing, what's the point by doing this? They would be a real killer forever, and that's the cursed title. Dete releasing a long sigh.
"because i need money, Hiv." he bowed his head, Hiver smiled and held Dete's shoulder.
"it's okay. at first we will be like this, go through the hardship so many times will produce us a better result. let's forget this, and i think we should save Autumn too. We cannot let Javier take her and kill her." Hiver gave a suggestion and he looked at Autumn. Autumn was a bit confused but she still realized that Hiver were tried to save her.
"thank you," she said slowly.
The three of them went through the darkness that shrouded the night and took the car given by Javier. Dete and Hiver has decided that they should save Autumn from being the victim of Javier. After checking around to make sure that Javier's men weren't following them, Hiver started the engine and speed up the car. Left the place.
She held her breath, knowing that they still looked after her. Then, she realized that she held some money in her hand, maybe she was mistaken and took it from the man when she was trying to run away. Autumn put the money inside her purse and when she was convinced that they were not chasing her, Autumn slowly prepared her steps to go.

After checking around to make sure that Javier's men weren't following them, Hiver started the engine and speed up the car. Left the place.
-------The magician-------- Where The Story Start Here..----
Dete planned was perfect enough to make Hiver can get away from the police,but they need to do it quickly before the police arrived and arrested Hiver. Dete said that he have a brilliant plan in his mind, they planning to ran away (that's the best thing anyway, they would not wait to think of another brilliant plan. using Hiver's car, they will use the inner road that lead them to a short curt to the airport. Taking all the savings, they might be spend their night on a motel. But, the real plan was, the car will pass by a chasm before the shortcut and they will get out from the car, Hiver will took a knife and have their blood a bit on the car and pushed the car into the hollow chasm. They will find a motel nearby and registered as a different person, next morning, the news of their death maybe has spread and the police will closed the case file and stopped searching Hiver. then, it was really safe for them to go to the airport.
Hiver packing his stuff, and Dete told that he would go to the store room, taking his magic box. Hiver pondered for a moment, how about his dad and Uncle Jack? Dete and he agreed that this plan should knew by themselves and for their parents, they will leave a note stating that they will run away (they didn't tell Jack and Hofman about their plan to pretend dead in an accident). Hiver felt a bit guilty towards his dad and Uncle Jack. But, this only a temporary, when the time is come, he will appear again,arise to defend himself and to clean his name from the accusation. For now, he need to get away of all this and wait until the situation is calm then he will decided what will happen. Maybe...
Dete arrived with his stuff packed in a bag pack and holding the magic box, he was ready and prepared. Hiver took out the 'goodbye, we're running away, take care.' note and put it on the dining table. Then, they left.
For the last time, Hiver and Dete took a glimpse of their apartment and their father's shadows...
The dew started to drop really fast and they've arrived at the chasm. Hiver and Dete quickly went out from the car, they took all of their stuff and Dete have a tools for changing the puncture tyre in his hands. He placed the tool on the behind tyres, after that, he pulled the rod and the car moved itself, fell into the chasm perfectly as they wanted. 5 minutes later, the car exploded and...
"give me five!" Dete and Hiver left the place and find a nearest motel before they started a new day with a new identity and left Pantagonia...
Jack read the notes louder so that Hofman can hear it too. after that, they were speechless. Didn't know what they should do. Should they remain quiet or tried to find their son as soon as possible before the police found them? Suddenly, the door was knocked. Jack arose.
"maybe the kids are back!" jack quickly opened the door but he found out that two tall police officer were standing in front of them.
"are you the relatives of Jack-Andre 'Dete' and Jamian 'Hiver' Hofman?" asked one of the officer. jack nodded, then Hofman joined the conversations.
"apparently, we've searching Jamian 'Hiver" Hofman and last night, a witness saw a car fell into a chasm. It was the suspect car. The car exploded and the body was crushed, but the blood was there and when we tested, it was them."
Jack looked at Hofman. His body was weak, he couldn't standing any longer...
"finally, they really get away from us." Hofman muttered.
Hiver and Dete walked through the thoroughfare after the airport. They didn't take a cab because they wanted to save the money for food and rent. they are now at Papricorn. Not really far from Pantagonia, just like neighbors country.This is enough after all of them in Pantagonia thought that they were dead. Now, they will stay there for a while and try to redeem the time...let the situation cool down and then they will decide when they will show up especially to Jack and Hofman. Hiver will defense himself, surely he needs some money to cover a good lawyer.
"here we are. Hiv. For temporary, when the time has come...we surely will bring our father, tell them that we're not dead yet." Dete stood beside Hiver.
"look, bro.. i really felt guilty because i drag you into this."
Dete smiled again, he shook his head and said never mind. For now, the things that they need to concern was to find a rent house.
At last, Dete and Hiver got themselves a room to rent, just small but it was enough for both of them. That evening, Hiver was out to buy some food and groceries. While Dete, unpack his stuff and he took the magic box. He smiled, some day...this things will be helpful. He also took out Hofman's magic hat, without Hiver or Hofman's knowing, he steal it last night before because he believe that one day, Hiver might need this to solve his problems. Dete kept all the magic stuff in a speacialized box and placed it under the bed. Then, he started to unpack clothing and so on...
Hiver finally showed up with his shopping stuff and place it on a small table. He took out the instant noodle and reached a container containing hot water. He prepared both for him and Dete, then he offered Dete to have a dinner.
"very well, i am starving." Dete said spontaneously and sat on the floor. He ate the first bite and quickly threw it back because it was hot and he can't take it. Hiver laughed at him and gave him tissue.
"if we ddin't find a job as soon as possible, your tongue might be blistered forever in your life." he still put some joke based on the incident. Dete was smiling and he admitted.
"you right. For this crucial time, we cannot be so choosy. We will take whatever job we get. When we have enough money, we go home and revealed the truth."
they agreed and continued their eating but this time Dete looked more cautions when he blew the smoking noodle before he ate it.
After almost a week, Dete and Hiver finally got the job as a car washer in a workshop at The Papricorn Main Town. Wearing a complete car washer uniform, they were determined, the fire in their eyes shining with a brave heart not to fail and...wash the cars. Dete looked quite okay but Hiver still adapting to it.
"what? you never wash you own car?" Dete tried to make a joke out of the awkward situation and Hiver gave him Dete's fake smile style.
"yea...that's funny when you smile like that." he pretend didn't notice that Hiver was mimicking him.
"what? i was copying your smile, your fake smile...look at this, when you didn't want to smile but you have to smile you will be like this..." Hiver made a funny face and tried as hard as he can to irritated Dete.
" i didn't smile like that, Hiv..." Hiver laughed and he blasts Dete with the pipe water,and Dete attacked him with the soap solution used to wash the car. They are all wet and tired after the child-like war and sat in a corner, resting.
"i was thinking, Hiv. If we stayed here longer, and try to collect our money, start some business and when we rich, we fetch our fathers...ask them to stay with us. Do you like it?" Dete looked at Hiver who still ran out his breath. He only nodded.
"why not? let's give them the comfort that they lost 15 years ago..."
They shaking hands and hugged each other. Now, let's get back to work!
The two men were so happy that day, they received their very first salary after weeks hardness and finally it's pay off that day. Dete was counting the money while they walking passed the main road. Hiver quickly held Dete's hand and he shook his head,
"it's not nice when you counting money in front of public, maybe someone will rob us, who know?" Hiver warned him. Dete quickly realize his mistakes and when he reach his pocket, a woman, running towards them, hit them and took the money too! Mesmerized or surprised, Dete and Hiver was speechless...
Hiver packing his stuff, and Dete told that he would go to the store room, taking his magic box. Hiver pondered for a moment, how about his dad and Uncle Jack? Dete and he agreed that this plan should knew by themselves and for their parents, they will leave a note stating that they will run away (they didn't tell Jack and Hofman about their plan to pretend dead in an accident). Hiver felt a bit guilty towards his dad and Uncle Jack. But, this only a temporary, when the time is come, he will appear again,arise to defend himself and to clean his name from the accusation. For now, he need to get away of all this and wait until the situation is calm then he will decided what will happen. Maybe...
Dete arrived with his stuff packed in a bag pack and holding the magic box, he was ready and prepared. Hiver took out the 'goodbye, we're running away, take care.' note and put it on the dining table. Then, they left.
For the last time, Hiver and Dete took a glimpse of their apartment and their father's shadows...
The dew started to drop really fast and they've arrived at the chasm. Hiver and Dete quickly went out from the car, they took all of their stuff and Dete have a tools for changing the puncture tyre in his hands. He placed the tool on the behind tyres, after that, he pulled the rod and the car moved itself, fell into the chasm perfectly as they wanted. 5 minutes later, the car exploded and...

He also took out Hofman's magic hat, without Hiver or Hofman's knowing, he steal it last night before because he believe that one day, Hiver might need this to solve his problems. Dete kept all the magic stuff in a speacialized box and placed it under the bed. Then, he started to unpack clothing and so on...
Hiver finally showed up with his shopping stuff and place it on a small table. He took out the instant noodle and reached a container containing hot water. He prepared both for him and Dete, then he offered Dete to have a dinner.
"very well, i am starving." Dete said spontaneously and sat on the floor. He ate the first bite and quickly threw it back because it was hot and he can't take it. Hiver laughed at him and gave him tissue.
"if we ddin't find a job as soon as possible, your tongue might be blistered forever in your life." he still put some joke based on the incident. Dete was smiling and he admitted.
"you right. For this crucial time, we cannot be so choosy. We will take whatever job we get. When we have enough money, we go home and revealed the truth."
they agreed and continued their eating but this time Dete looked more cautions when he blew the smoking noodle before he ate it.
After almost a week, Dete and Hiver finally got the job as a car washer in a workshop at The Papricorn Main Town. Wearing a complete car washer uniform, they were determined, the fire in their eyes shining with a brave heart not to fail and...wash the cars. Dete looked quite okay but Hiver still adapting to it.
"what? you never wash you own car?" Dete tried to make a joke out of the awkward situation and Hiver gave him Dete's fake smile style.
"yea...that's funny when you smile like that." he pretend didn't notice that Hiver was mimicking him.
"what? i was copying your smile, your fake smile...look at this, when you didn't want to smile but you have to smile you will be like this..." Hiver made a funny face and tried as hard as he can to irritated Dete.
" i didn't smile like that, Hiv..." Hiver laughed and he blasts Dete with the pipe water,and Dete attacked him with the soap solution used to wash the car. They are all wet and tired after the child-like war and sat in a corner, resting.
"i was thinking, Hiv. If we stayed here longer, and try to collect our money, start some business and when we rich, we fetch our fathers...ask them to stay with us. Do you like it?" Dete looked at Hiver who still ran out his breath. He only nodded.
"why not? let's give them the comfort that they lost 15 years ago..."
They shaking hands and hugged each other. Now, let's get back to work!
The two men were so happy that day, they received their very first salary after weeks hardness and finally it's pay off that day. Dete was counting the money while they walking passed the main road. Hiver quickly held Dete's hand and he shook his head,
"it's not nice when you counting money in front of public, maybe someone will rob us, who know?" Hiver warned him. Dete quickly realize his mistakes and when he reach his pocket, a woman, running towards them, hit them and took the money too! Mesmerized or surprised, Dete and Hiver was speechless...
-------The Magician------- Hiver's worries &Dete True's Friend...
It's morning already and dete woke up from his sleep after realizing the hotness of sun shrouded his weak body. Dete had a small exercise a bit and he looked around the store room. His magic box was already in the cabinet and everything was tidied. Maybe Hiver woke up eearly before him and decided to tidy this room up a bit without his knowing. maybe Hiver left early because he needs to go work and supposed he didnt want to ruin his first day with his first salary. Dete understand and he got up, opened the door and left the room.
Hiver was really busy that day but he still remembered last night, and yesterday before the night. It's been so long they didnt hang out together in front of the Plaza and surely Hiver would love to do it again after this. Their practice was awesome, he was amazed by Dete, he could control the magic wand...not like him, he was a bit afraid with his father's magic wand because of the power, mystical. Dete was brave and didnt care, few times dete encouraging him to try but as for now, he wanted to master the tricks which didnt use the magic wand. After all, he doesnt want to make any show like real magician, like his father like his old time at Mundas.
Hiver continued his work and suddenly, one of his colleague came after him. It was Sulin, with her big smile, showing her regular white teeth.
"the boss wanna meet you, Hiv." Hiver smiled and nodded, he left his work and quickly went into the boss' office.
Hiver knocked the door several times before he showed up and he smiled to javier. His big boss. javier who enjoyed talking in phone cut off his line and welcomed his favorite supervisor.
"please have a seat, Hiv.i only want to have a little chat with you,"
Hiver did as he said and deliberately he pulled the chair in front of Javier and sat on it. Javier smiling, and he took a document with his pen and started to signing it endlessly.
"how do you feel? are you happy here?" he asked. Hiver nodded.
"well, yes. i could not ask anything better than this."
"keep up the good work, Hiv. i'll promote you, this is my promise. I like your working style and everything. I want you to handle all the clients and who knows some day you might be sitting in one of those big chairs?" he laughed. Hiver laughed too although he consider that was not a joke, even a bit.
Slowly, Hiver felt proud and he determined to make the wish come true. Why not? it's look fun to be a powerful person. I can have everything that i missed in these 15 years. Javier then shaking hands with Hiver and Hiver left the office, proud and pride.
10 minutes after Hiver gone, Javier receive another guest. He was smiled really sinical when he saw his guest entered his room. He was bald, with a scar on his right cheek, but still look smart with vivid black coat and shining black shoe. He sat on a chair without any words. Then, Javier broke the silence between them.
"I confirmed you that Mathias would coming tonight, as i lie to him about the order. i told him that he could take it tonight and asked it from one of my supervisor, that's the perfect time for you to kill that man, you understood?"
the man nodded his head and laughed (slowly). Javier took out a briefcase and gave it to the man. He opened it to take a peek and satisfied with the ten thousands content in the briefcase. After that, he left the room.
10 pm, Kim was ready to leave the factory but he saw Hiver still working late and he walked to him.
"Hiv, it's late...are you sure you want to settle things tonight?"
"yeah, man. i'll be okay, see you tomorrow."
kim smiled and walked away,Hiver continued to checking all the stocks provided and suddenly a man came after him. The man looked desperate and unsured, Hiver looked at him and they looked at each other.
"can i help you?" he asked the man.
"my name is Mathias. They said that this factory delivering my order, so i want to check whether it's true or not." Mathias told him, but with doubtful voice.
"okay, just give me time i try to check it on the record."
Hiver left mathias alone in the room while he went to the record room to see whether there are Mathias' ordered. He searched it everywhere but seemed that he cannot find the order that was based on Mathias' name. Hiver shook his head and about half an hour later, he returned to his room also the room where Mathias was waiting for him. Hiver opened the door and what was he about to see is the most shocking discovery. Mathias was there, but lying on the floor helplessly, his eyes arent close and still looking at him, tried to tell him something, Hiver looked on his chest, blood was all over the man's body. It's was like he has been stabbing so many times and Hiver didnt hear any movement at all. When he was about to reach Mathias, he already gone, forever...Hiver stopped. He cannot think of anything right there. He still stood, stiff. This could not be worse, there's a killing in his room, where is the killer? What he should do? His mind was really in messy state. But, he took all of his force and reached Mathias' dead body. He gently slapped Mathias' cheek in hope that he just got fainted although he knew that was an impossible things but sometimes,hope could became a reality. But, he never receive any responses from Mathias. The man's body became cold and the blood started to clot. The noises that came from his room attracted the watchman from the front door. He looked up and he found Hiver, the supervisor trying to took a dead man out of the room....
The apartment's door was knocked very harsh and so many times as if a bomb tried to explode outside. Jack quickly prepared his steps and ran to the front door. He was shocked when he saw Hiver, with anxious countenance and blood was all over his shirt. Then, Dete came...with a surprised look.
"what happen to you? what's up with this reddish thing? is it blood,Hiv?"
Hiver quickly jump in and he went to Hofman, hugged him tightly.
"i didnt do it! it wasnt me!" he shouted and hysterical. Jack tried to calm him and struggle with his oldies mighty. Dete also was there, helping.
"what happen to you, boy?!What has happening?"
Hiver started to crying, he couldnt express his feeling. The watchman arrested him and tried to reach some help but Hiver was quicker, he took a vase near him and hit the watchman. that guy was fainted and he ran away, deep inside, he knew that this would spread right away. He maybe didnt do it but no one will listen to him. Everyone will think that he killed Mathias but he never knew the guy, just few hours ago before he was killed.
Hofman felt like a lightning struck to his body when heard Hiver's story. jack and Dete also share the surprise. Hiver didnt look at anyone, he only bow his head, lowest as possible, so many feelings conquering his heart right now. Too many and that was enough, he cannot bear to hear the people talking and mortify him with insults words. His future was doomed. No place for him, not even in this house. If he stayed, he would dragged all of his family inti his unclassified problem.
"Hiv, i believe that you not guilty. You're my son and i know you very well, you would never capable to do this things. We'll figure out together, in this world, there's always a way out. We just need to find it." Hofman tried to calm his son frayed mind. Hiver shook his head.
"it would be not the same! i hate to say this but try to remember, what happened to Uncle jack? he was shouting and screaming that he was innocent but in the end? Did anyone listen to him? maybe we listen to him, but does the police heard him? what about the society? he left the magician world, his only life to earnings...and you too, dad! Now, i was about to receive the same fate as Uncle Jack! Just leave me alone and I'll figure out a way to die!" Hiver left the living room with everyone was shocked hearing his words. Dete then prepared his steps, following the track of Hiver.
Hiver sat at one of the corner in the store room now, he was staring at the magic box located on the cabinet. what's the point if he knew how to spell magic and mastering the magic skills? still, it cannot help him in trouble, just like this one. Hiver desperately tried not to cry but he lose to his fears and worries. He cried. suddenly, someone held his shoulder, tenderly, Dete sat beside him.
"i knew it's hard for you and for everyone. this is my exact feeling when knowing that people will accuse us on the thing that we never did."
" i guess, i start to understand you and uncle. I'm sorry, my words are harsh, too harsh aren't they?" Hiver bowed his head. Feeling shame.
"no, i understand you too. we understand each other. Hiv, i want to help you. All of us know that you're innocent, whoever killed the man... you still innocent, pure. Hiv, i will help you out. The police will never get you," Dete determined to do his plan. Although this plan quite risky, but he willing to do anything to save Hiver.
"no, bro. i think it's better for you not to interfere and let the police come and fetch me shortly," Hiver was already gave up with this.
"hiv, if you think that i will leave you just like that, you're wrong. You not just my best friend but my brother. My everything. I will help you, you like it or not, we're all in this together. And i have a plan to get away from police."
Hiver was touched by Dete's kindness and his pure sincerity. He hugged Dete, showing his thankful to Dete. dete smiled by to him, giving a 'it's okay' look to Hiver.
"now, let's go proceed our plan!"
With a tough determination, both of them got up and walked out from the room, bravely...
Hiver was really busy that day but he still remembered last night, and yesterday before the night. It's been so long they didnt hang out together in front of the Plaza and surely Hiver would love to do it again after this.

------The magician------ Arise From Darkness...
15 years has passed on...
Jack sat quietly on his rattan made chair. He closed his eyes but he still can hear the noise made by the construction workers at the construction site not far from their oldies apartment. Sometimes, he would considered it as a song, many rhythms will lessen his boredom. It's been 5 years since he quit the factory work and Hofman just quit the work a year ago after Hiver got his job as a supervisor in the same factory. What about Dete? He never told him what was his job, but he heard from Hiver that Dete still searching for a suitable job since he graduated a year ago. Hiver also told him that Dete work as a waiter in fast food restaurant while waiting for the interview result, apparently nothing seemed to be positive from the result.
Then, Jack remembered his old time, with Hofman. If the killing never happened, he would be a bit rich and afford to help Dete. But...ah, let bygone be bygone! He, himself has forgotten few of his famous magic tricks due to the lost of his magic box. Whoever rent his old house and found the magic box, would be lucky enough if he/she practicing the tricks. Heavens know that they could become a magician? Suddenly. he remembered his old time at the magic school. Lots of people across the world came to learn magic there, including he and Hofman. Then, they meet a friend, but that friend was not fond of the magic stuff as he more to business management but it was his father wish to see his son became a magician after he, himself failed to do that. that friend told him and Hofman that sooner, he would run away from the school and learn how to be a great businessman. Finally, that friend kept his words...he ran away a month after studying and they never met him until 13 years later, that friend became a successful businessman and one of the richest people at Mundas.
Jack sighing, when he was about to get up from the chair, he saw the glimpse of Hofman and Hiver. Just return from their shopping, as this was Hiver's first salary. He also remembered that dete always put half of his salary in Jack's coffee table, maybe he never told him what type of his job but he never missed giving his dad half of the money. Jack smiling. Then, Hofman and Hiver appeared at the front door, carrying lots of shopping bags and with grinned, Hiver gave all of that to Jack.
"that's many. are you sure, Hiv? i think only you and your dad deserve to enjoy your first salary.not me." jack went to the kitchen, took out the orange juice stored in his refrigerator while Hiver followed him, took out 3 glasses.
"why? you're part of my family, no..no..we're all family. Dete, i've always consider as my brother, and you my father. why not? i'll always share anything that i got with both of you. and my salary, is for all." Hiver took the orange juice from Jack and poured it into the glasses. Hofman heard the conversation and agreed.
'it's been 15 years and dont tell me, jack..you still shy with us?"
jack was laughing and he shook his head. After that, the three of them walked to the corner of balcony and enjoyed their juice there.
"hey, have you see Dete this morning?" Hiver shook his head.
Dete stepped out from the fast food restaurant and fixed his jacket before arresting a cab. He looked at his wristwatch and got into the cab. On his way home, Dete was calculating his earn that day and he didnt satisfied enough with that earn. He still waiting for the call of any good company and offering him a job that he longing for. Nothing seemed to be right after all, Hiver has already got the job, and he still working as a waiter? Actually, dete really-really want to made his dad felt proud to him even once. He knew, he has hurt his dad so many times with his harsh words but believe him, he didnt have that intention. maybe he was stressed put because whenever he looked at the magic box, he remembered everything about Mundas and he remembered the killing. Fortunately, Hiver was always on his side and never felt blase by his tensed condition and like to give him so many moral support that he never found in himself. Dete smiled, how luck he was having such a nice brother. Whenever he needs money, Hiver was there to lend it whether he asked it or not.
And Hiver always told Dete to be nice with his dad, because the only main reason why Jack brought all of them to Papricorn was to protect Dete from being stressed out by the rumors. He wanted Dete to become calm and concentrate to his study, beside Jack was not guilty at all. The killing was set-up by someone who might envy with him or just to make him as the guilty while the real criminal can get away easily. Dete kept the money in his pocket and the cab stopped in front of the apartment yard. He gave some money and went out from the cab.
When he was entering the house, 3 of them were having dinner. Al the eyes were on him. Dete closed the door and put his jacket to a hanger. Hofman grinned:
"what taking you so long? let's have dinner together. today, Hiver got his first salary and he bought all of this."
Dete smiled to Hiver and gave 'i'm happy for you' look,
"congrats! but, I'm tired... tomorrow i'll celebrate it with you, Hiv."
he left to the upstairs. Hofman was looking at Jack and Jack nodded. He understand, Dete was not tried to avoid him, he really-really tired and need some rest.
It was Sunday and everybody really felt that the day have a sun that shone really bright. Not really, but almost...Dete decided to take Hiver out to celebrate Hiver's first salary and the first place was the Plaza. Their favorite place of all time, long ago,when they still a student this was the best place for them to study the homework and assignment. Now, they still hang out there, recalls all the memories of all. Now, Dete has brought some food to eat and Hiver, some literal book to read (obviously only him would read it, not Dete).
"are you really busy,Hiv?" Hiver was a bit surprised when Dete asking him because he was really concentrating on his book. He nodded.
"i know why you ask me that,bro. Because it's been 3 weeks i didnt join you practicing the magic tricks you found on your dad's box."
Dete raised his shoulders and seemed he was a bit sad because Hiver almost looked to deserted the magic tricks that they had learn and practicing for years.
"maybe because you have a fix job now, you think that was useless. A rubbish." Hiver shook his head.
"no, bro! i still like it. i still remember all of them, but you gotta understand that now i have night shift. i cannot go with you,"
Dete smiled, he understood and gave hiver his book back. Hiver took the book but heavily. He knew that Dete was unhappy with the situation but what he could do? His boss has already promised a promotion if he work harder after the first salary. He became the favorite supervisor of all. He need to give his full commitment only to his current job, not the magic stuff. but, still...
"ok, bro..ok! let's practice tonight, every weekend night?" Hiver made a suggestion. Dete dull face suddenly changed delighted.
"OK!" they laughed.
that night, at 12 sharp, Dete and Hiver sneaked out from their bedroom and went to the store room. Dete closed the door tenderly and walked towards the table, Hiver turned on the bulb. Dete took out the magic box from an unused cabinet and slowly he put that on the table. He opened it and took a hat, one for him and one for Hiver (the hat used to be on Hofman and Jack's head), Dete took a wand for him and he gave a white handkerchief to Hiver. They all were prepared. Dete took a book, contained all magic tricks, most of them were synonyms with Jack.
"let's do the harder one tonight," Dete said and he closed his eyes.
Hiver nodded and he also closing his eyes, his heart suddenly beat faster and he opened his eyes for a while, he saw Dete now...unconciuos and shivering beside him. Hiver tried to concentrate as soon as possible.
Dete deliberately lifted his wand and he muttered his magic spell towards the wand, while Hiver kept focusing and he also whispering the same spell with Dete. The wand changing its color from black to purple, striking. A sparkle gas came out from the wand and Dete opened his eyes. He started to pointed the wand towards the chair in front of Hiver and the chair slowly moved and lifted to the air. Hiver opened his eyes and he blew his white handkerchief, slowly he threw the handkerchief to the floor and it turned to be a white dove, flew above them. The chair still floated on the air and Dete's eyes were on it. Hiver caught the dove and he blew it again to turn the dove as the white handkerchief.
Dete gently pointed the wand downwards and the chair followed the wand direction. He whispered the spell towards the wand and the wand changed the color back to black. Hiver fold his handkerchief and put it back in the magic box. He smiled.
"i need to improve more, Hiv." Dete sat on the chair that he just put his spell. Hiver also sat on the floor, releasing his tiredness. He out of his breath.
"i am so tired with this focusing stuff. My mind will go mad sooner..." Hiver took a blank unuseful paper and waved it all over his head and chest.
"but i still think that my skill are improving, i can do the harder one...i can be an expert...maybe we can make a living out of this."
Hiver shook his head, reluctant to accept dete's view. He thought that Dete was out of his mind, this magic things was a stuff that he had forgotten long time ago when his father left Mundas and quit magic. Hiver used to think that he would be a magician just like his father, but he quit now. it's impossible, but Dete still believe all that, even though he still can find another job.
That night, both of them were fell asleep at the store room due to their extra tired as they were trying the harder tricks that demanding their focus and energy to combine. Out of that, Dete wanted to spend time with Hiver. Since Hiver was working, they rarely met, rarely talked, and hang out. So, maybe this is the time for him....
Jack sat quietly on his rattan made chair. He closed his eyes but he still can hear the noise made by the construction workers at the construction site not far from their oldies apartment. Sometimes, he would considered it as a song, many rhythms will lessen his boredom. It's been 5 years since he quit the factory work and Hofman just quit the work a year ago after Hiver got his job as a supervisor in the same factory. What about Dete? He never told him what was his job, but he heard from Hiver that Dete still searching for a suitable job since he graduated a year ago. Hiver also told him that Dete work as a waiter in fast food restaurant while waiting for the interview result, apparently nothing seemed to be positive from the result.
Then, Jack remembered his old time, with Hofman. If the killing never happened, he would be a bit rich and afford to help Dete. But...ah, let bygone be bygone! He, himself has forgotten few of his famous magic tricks due to the lost of his magic box. Whoever rent his old house and found the magic box, would be lucky enough if he/she practicing the tricks. Heavens know that they could become a magician? Suddenly. he remembered his old time at the magic school. Lots of people across the world came to learn magic there, including he and Hofman. Then, they meet a friend, but that friend was not fond of the magic stuff as he more to business management but it was his father wish to see his son became a magician after he, himself failed to do that. that friend told him and Hofman that sooner, he would run away from the school and learn how to be a great businessman. Finally, that friend kept his words...he ran away a month after studying and they never met him until 13 years later, that friend became a successful businessman and one of the richest people at Mundas.
Jack sighing, when he was about to get up from the chair, he saw the glimpse of Hofman and Hiver. Just return from their shopping, as this was Hiver's first salary. He also remembered that dete always put half of his salary in Jack's coffee table, maybe he never told him what type of his job but he never missed giving his dad half of the money. Jack smiling. Then, Hofman and Hiver appeared at the front door, carrying lots of shopping bags and with grinned, Hiver gave all of that to Jack.
"that's many. are you sure, Hiv? i think only you and your dad deserve to enjoy your first salary.not me." jack went to the kitchen, took out the orange juice stored in his refrigerator while Hiver followed him, took out 3 glasses.
"why? you're part of my family, no..no..we're all family. Dete, i've always consider as my brother, and you my father. why not? i'll always share anything that i got with both of you. and my salary, is for all." Hiver took the orange juice from Jack and poured it into the glasses. Hofman heard the conversation and agreed.
'it's been 15 years and dont tell me, jack..you still shy with us?"
jack was laughing and he shook his head. After that, the three of them walked to the corner of balcony and enjoyed their juice there.
"hey, have you see Dete this morning?" Hiver shook his head.
Dete stepped out from the fast food restaurant and fixed his jacket before arresting a cab. He looked at his wristwatch and got into the cab.
