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...
