Dete stared really deep at Hofman and Hiver but they stood still and smiled to Dete. Hofman held Dete's head and gently stroked it. Dete tried to avoid his hand but Hofman straight away took Dete to his van. Hofman looked at Hiver and his son understand that Dete need a friend now, he quickly went to the van and Hofman made his way to upstairs. He found that Jack was still rushing and a big mess was seen in his room, the newspaper's cut and some old clothes were at everywhere in the room's each corner. jack looked at his friend, and understood the 'we got no more time' look from Hofman. Rush and upset, he took his luggage out of the room and Hofman was following him from behind. He turned off all the switches and locked the main entrance door. They ran to the van but Jack's steps suddenly became mute like he remembered something.
"my magic box, i left it..." he looked at Hofman and his friend only shook his head. Meaning that he couldn't help anything. Sorry, he said. Jack was quite upset about that, it's not because he felt a fool as these thing happened but what was installed inside the box. All his tricks, his tips, his magic tools, all of his notes when he joined The School Of Magic with Hofman, yes.. the contain!
When they were already inside the van and when Hofman started the engine, jack felt really devastated, the box!! His head only kept thinking about the box and nothing else. For instant prove, it had been 30 minutes and Jack still forget that Dete was behind the seat,also in devastated term. But, Dete was different. Hiver tried to persuade him with all his toys, let's play this and that but Dete kept showing him a strange golden wooden box. He said it was a mystical magical box, belongs to his father. Then, he promised that he would take a revenge towards the people who pointed him as a son of a killer.
For sure Dete only knew his father as a magician, not really famous because of the tough competition in Mundas but he just knew it. Just like Hofman, he also knew his uncle's profession. But, suddenly people were rushing to him and jerked him as a son of a killer. How could they be that mean towards a kid? And why his father was called a killer? Who did he killed? Then later, he knew that Sabrina, his father'
s ex was killed and they put the blame on his father. Dete trying not to think the same as the people thought but sometimes he just couldn't help when especially when his father tried to runaway like a real criminal. Dete looked again to the box. He smiled, but not a real smile. This box, he didnt know that i took it. He must looking forward and felt really devastated, i shall keep this box forever....
-------------PAPRICORN---------------
Hofman helped his son from carrying the heavy bags and ordered Hiver to take Dete out from the car. Then, Jack came with the other stuff. They stood in front of the small but nice apartment in their new hometown, Papricorn.
"only this i can afford for now. it took most of my savings, Jack. at least, you can bring Dete here...away from Mundas and the story."
"what's the point, Hof? i think he hates me since that, could he think that i am the killer?"
"he only got shock and that's all, now we are here. Let's begin a new life, let's not think anything about Mundas ever again. If you think, running away from them is the best thing to protect your son, i will always support you. Now, let's et something to eat!" they walked to the nearest shop but Hofman still asked Hiver to take good care of Dete.
Hiver got into the van and he looked at the box, Dete too. Then, they looked at each other.
"you know that Uncle Jack was looking for this, let's give it back to him." Hiver tried to snatch it from Dete but Dete quickly took it away from him. He then hide it under his jacket. He shouted at Hiver so they he would go away but nothing worked.
"get out from the van, Dete. We've arrived!" Hiver slowly losing his patient. Dete understand and he went out of the car. that's better, Hiver said.
"please, with me.. you dont have to act quiet as you act with your father lately. I am your best friend, not your father. We still can talk and the stuff that you can't talk with him, you can always talk with me."
Hiver held Dete's shoulder tenderly and Dete held his. Both of them walked towards their new apartment and waited for their fathers finishing shopping at the shop.
9.00 pm, as usual, four of them having dinner, a bit late but a dinner still a dinner. Jack and Hofman didnt talk much, they only talk about Hiver and Dete's new school also their new job. They had to find job as soon as possible, and their kids' new school. Hiver also participated in the adult conversation with his child's style and sometimes brought the laughter to Hofman and Jack's dried moaning lips. Hofman tried to impress Dete with his jokes, so do Hiver but Dete only gave them his terrible annoying fake smiled and that offend Jack.
"Dete, could you please stop doing the smile? It's not nice..it's..it's rude!" he screamed. Everybody was surprised to see that. Dete arose from the chair and his eyes, like always, sharp, explosive and lighting staring at Jack.
Jack heart was beated really fast, waiting for his son to blast back and he looked at his demanding eyes. Finally, Dete said:
"why did you run from there, dad?" Jack held his breath and then let it go. He felt relieve because Dete didnt blast him back. Only asking question. But, that was unanswered question. Jack continued eating but Dete was already to left.
"you didnt answer it! why you left Mundas? Is it because you want to get rid of the police and the people who accused you because you've already become the real killer, you killed Auntie Sab and you used me as an excuse to run? Who you want to protect, dad? Your son..or yourself?!" Dete took one of the plate on the dining table and threw it away. jack not surprised but Hofman was. He didnt think that Dete would go that far......
