Scene 17

April: *hides in the bush with Magus while watching Mina dry clothes* Psst! Mina!

Mina: *looks around and saw April with Magus* *frowns* So that is why you disappeared just like that. You now have a man.

April: A what? *looked at Magus*

Magus: *coughs*

April: *laughs* He's not my man, Mina.

Mina: *frowns* Then what? Your son? *sarcastic* I can see how you left me with your evil aunt. Now I can prove that you are worse than her.

April: *confused* What are you talking about, Mina?

Mina: *voice shatters and started sobbing* She tortured me, April! I became your substitute because I am the one who's left. You didn't even bother to tell me what's going on with you. And now, look at me. I'm a total mess.

April: I'm so sorry, Mina. I'm so sorry. I did not thought the possible outcomes of my actions. And now you suffered in my place. I'm so sorry.

Magus: Sorry. It was all my fault, really.

Mina: Your fault? *sobs*

Magus: April ran away with me because I needed her help to save my parents from the scientists.

Mina: *confused* Why would the scientists get your parents? Are they different?

April: *whispers to Magus* Is it okay to tell her?

Magus: *whispers back* She is your friend and you trusts her, right?

April: *nods*

Magus: Yes. Actually, I am different from you. I'm a genie.

Mina: *laughs* You actually think I will believe you?

*Magus and April look at each other and April smiles*

April: Watch, Mina. He can do the magic.

Magus: *waves his hand; the laundry are all dry*

Mina: Wow. *amazed*

April: *laughs* Amazing, isn't it?

Mina: *nods selflessly*

April: Mina, I need to get to the barn.

Mina: Why?

April: He needs to get back to his world immediately.

Mina: But why in the barn? Is there a portal or something there?

Magus: The barn is where you first saw the bottle I was locked up in.

Mina: You mean, that golden bottle? *frowns* I should have kept that if I had known you were inside.

April: *laughs* Why?

Mina: So that I can wish for wealth and everything I want. *grins*

Magus: *whispers* I'm lucky April was the one who kept the bottle.

Mina: Okay. You must hurry to go there. Madam Carp will be here anytime soon.

April: Okay! Thank you, Mina! Let's go, Magus.
