Women's Day? Marmot Day? Or is it Christmas again? Then I have to ..." "Yes!", Kevin interrupted him a little agitated. "I haven't forgotten anything. Rather ..." Only when another waiter warned Jas to continue working did he start to urge Kevin. This continued. "You know that for sure. You are walking around town, looking in the shop window, and suddenly you see the new video game that you absolutely want!" Jas narrowed her eyes. “You bought a video game?” Kevin shook his head vigorously and reached into his pocket. "That was a metaphor, in reality
I have ... "he stuttered and pulled out a small, black box." Oh, shit! "Jas called out aloud, since he could guess what was inside.Some guests stared indignantly at the two boys. Jas pressed her lips together and pointed imploringly at the box. "Ok! There are sure to be earrings in there! What else should you give Emma for?" He tried to dissuade himself from his own idea. Kevin looked around in all directions as if he wanted no one to notice what was in his box. Carefully and slowly he opened his souvenir. A little too slow for Jas's taste. Inside, what Jas had feared was revealed. "Oh shit!" Jas groaned again. Some guests cleared their throats again. The waiter wanted to start again, but Jas didn't let him have a say. Sorry, I just need a moment. My friend is not feeling well. "He explained and then looked back at Kevin." I knew you would react that way. ", he sighed. Jas took his right hand and closed the box again." We'll do it like this, I just didn't see anything. "he suggested. But Kevin didn't seem to agree." Yes, I need your advice as a friend! "Jas thought before he spoke." Kevin, this is a ring in there, not a video game! You don't walk past a shop window, see a ring and think 'I have to have it'. "Kevin didn't understand his friend, apparently." I thought it over carefully! "He was hairy. Jas doubted it." When? When you stood in front of the shop window and decided between the 3 carat and the 4 carat? How many years have you been together now? Or wait ... was it months? "Jas didn't want to hurt his friend, but as a friend he also saw it as his duty to Kevin to bring everything back to mind. And as - quasi - bystanders. Kevin understood Jas, but he didn't know what the differences were 'he and Emma already had. He would have loved to tell Jas about his past so that Jas would know all the facts, but he had made a conscious decision against it. "Ok, ok! I trust you that you know what you are doing. "Jas seemed to give his blessing after all." You'll see, it's not as big a deal as you think. What's going to go wrong? "asked Kevin easily. Jas started to say something, but Kevin got ahead of him." Except that she says no. "he hastened to say." Then everything is fine. ", said Jas and ended his break. Kevin hesitated a little before he said something else." She won't say no, will she? "Jas escaped a grin." I don't know, but you know her better than I do now, don't you? "he said with a hidden clue. Kevin thought hard. If even his best buddy thought his decision was premature, what could Emma think of him? A look at his watch showed it was ten minutes past two. In. In. In." one
Kevin had an appointment with Emma for half an hour. He decided to think about his plan for a while and put the small box back in.He wanted to say goodbye to Jas, but he had his hands full. He just nodded briefly to his buddy and left the café.
The taxi stopped at the end of the street. Bryan waited a moment before getting out. Of course, he was here several times a year, but this time a strange feeling crept into him. He paid for the ride and got out. It was only a few steps to Carol's house. He had taken these steps many times. It was a road that could spring from a drawing or a book. Each of the at least two-story, large houses had huge gardens. There was hardly a place not covered by grass or flowers. Even the sidewalk looked freshly swept and although it was autumn there was no leaves on it. Bryan was sure that this street must have already inhabited a price. He remembered one of Carol's neighbors to whom the whole thing was particularly important. He didn't know whether he was still living in the street or had moved away. He had got to Carol's house quickly. At first glance nothing seemed to have changed. Carol lived with her parents in the old but rustic building. A walkway made of concrete tiles led to the front door. Carol said that she had had a visit from a girl. This must have followed the same path as Bryan is now. He carefully rang the doorbell. He was expecting a happy but insecure Carol. The door was thrown open immediately and his girlfriend fell into his arms. Bryan seemed to have thought unnecessarily. "The plane landed 40 minutes ago! You should have been here ten minutes ago!", She scolded in a mock way. Carol hesitated for a moment and released the hug. She took Bryan's hand and led him into the house. "You worry about our 'Creator', don't you?" She asked. Bryan nods in concern. And not without good reason. Why were he and Carol contacted by him all of a sudden? They hadn't noticed he'd been dead for a long time. Carol seemed to be fine. "The girl was there again. I told her that you were coming and she said that we shouldn't worry about anything. Our 'Creator' would take care of us. She wants ...", Carol hesitated now. Bryan wanted to hear everything and asked her to continue speaking. "She wants ... that we go to him," she explained. Bryan nodded. "To the place where we used to be?" The boy wanted to know exactly. Carol confirmed it to him. Still, Bryan knew that Carol knew more, but didn't want to explain it. "What else did she say? And who was she anyway?" Carol sighed. "She's one of us there
I am pretty sure. She said you had to be tested before you could see him again. "Bryan seemed to have made Carol depressed, which he actually wanted to prevent. He got angry." What do you mean? First he really wants me to come, and now he doesn't even want to see me?And what kind of job is that? "Carol tried to go on. He said it was about an enemy. You should first prove how strong you are." Bryan did not understand his 'maker'. He himself had given it its current strength, why was a test necessary? “And who is this enemy?” Carol hurried to get something out of a drawer. Apparently her visitor had left a picture. She handed it to Bryan and he stared at it. It was a boy, probably the same age as Bryan. He didn't know him, but he didn't particularly like it. What amazed him most was the eyes of his target. It was just a photo, but somehow they seemed to reveal everything about the boy. "Who is that?" He asked now. “She said a name, but it couldn't be more correct. It's Hapi.” Bryan paused. He knew the namesake. "Then he's probably wearing an amulet," he combined. Carol accepted. "The girl also said it was an old picture. Three, maybe four years old. Still, he shouldn't have changed much. She said he was a good fighter and an enemy of our 'Creator'. And she said that…. That you shouldn't kill him for now. Just attack and test his strength. ", Carol repeated everything that was told to her. Bryan didn't necessarily get any smarter from that. He knew that he had a lot to discuss with his 'Creator', but apparently he could only do this if he did this job first. But why shouldn't he take him out right away if he was such a dangerous enemy? He was sure to be up to this opponent. When Carol said she wanted to come with me, Bryan shook his head vigorously. He would never let his girlfriend put herself in danger. Well, she had the same skills as him, but still, he didn't want to put her at risk. "I suppose she also said where can I find him?" Asked Bryan for details. Carol nodded. "You can attack him in a place unknown to him. Neither of you will have an advantage." Bryan clenched his fists. He would fulfill this mission, hear what his 'Creator' wanted and then ask him to leave him and Carol alone forever.
Jas had just brought two cups of cappuccino to an old couple when his boss called him. He briefly considered how to express himself. "Yes, you ... you were really busy today. Why don't you break up?" He asked gently. Jas looked at him. "In other words, I'm fired," he replied. The other man snorted. "So I would
do not express, but ... yes! "Jas had already seen something like this coming, but thanked his ex-boss for the chance. Then something occurred to him. He hadn't been exactly loyal to Kevin. He had approached him with a big request and he really didn't have it What if Kevin didn't listen and Emma asked him to marry?Jas banished the thought from his mind. Even Kevin wouldn't act like that. In which…. . He had bought the ring on the spur of the moment, so maybe he was doing something really stupid. Jas couldn't be sure and wanted to catch up with his friend. Kevin had told him the morning before college that he had an appointment with Emma in town. Jas could only run to catch up with him now. Maybe he was worrying for nothing, but he knew with Kevin you could never be sure. He left the café and tried to catch up with his friend.
But Kevin also had a fast pace. He had made Emma wait once and decided not to do it again. Under no circumstances did he want to succumb to her anger. A look at the clock told him that he could still make it in time. At least that was the plan. He was just turning into an alley and failed to see the boy in front of him. The collision was inevitable. The boy crashed to the ground. Kevin was able to hold himself upright, but was confused at first. He apologized and wanted to go on. But then he thought about helping the boy. But what would Emma say? Would she think it was an excuse, or would she agree that one should help others? Kevin decided to help the boy up. This grabbed Kevin hand and pulled himself up. That was when Kevin saw his eyes for the first time. He let go of the hand again. He didn't know why, but the other
