Hatkin was highly restless. The threatening words of the witch kept resonating in his mind. He did not dare to try the test with Huberla, with his three daughters. So, he decided to go on a trip to visit his friends and relatives in and around Modland. Senyorita was worried by her father’s behaviour. She packed sufficient dresses and money for her dad. She was reluctant to pose a question to her father about this trip. But, she did not dare to ask him.
All three girls waved bye to their father, thinking he is going to bring back lots of money and Prince Charm for wedding. It was Senyorita who had an inner voice saying something is wrong! Also, only she noticed a new bag with Hatkin, which she had not packed for him. All she can do is to pray to the lord.
Hatkin went in search of the girl whom the witch wants. He managed to give the ball to unmarried girls to test it. He said various reasons such as the ball is a holy ball, magical ball, a valuable crystal article and on. But, Huberla remained same. It has been 15 days since Hatkin started on his Journey. He happened to meet hundreds of girls. But, Huberla failed to work. He was totally upset and planned to get back to his house.
Hatkin was in his extreme anger, hatred, fear, sorrow and restlessness. He was unable to find the girl. By the time he reached his home, already 20 days had gone by. He preserved the ball in his wardrobe. He had a strong gut saying none of his daughters is the victim. He tried testing the Huberla with neighbors, but he made sure that his girls are not aware of it.
As days passed by, Hatkin become more tensed. He kept away from work at farm for longer days. The family ran short of provisions. Mary and Golda were irritated. They started blaming Hatkin. But, he doesn’t seem to bother them. He even ignored talking much with Senyorita, fearing that he might reveal the truth.
It was 29th day. Hatkin became weak and numb. He closed himself in the prayer room and kept praying. Senyorita was preparing dinner. Golda and Mary were quarreling over a pound they found in their dad’s shirt pocket, in his room. They quarrel turned into an altercation and these girls started throwing the articles they got hold of, on each other. Suddenly, Mary started throwing things from her dad’s wardrobe. Huberla lied in one corner!
Mary got hold of Huberla too and threw it on Golda, before noticing what on earth it is. Simultaneously, Senyorita rushed into their room and accidentally happen to be hit by the Huberla. She fell down by her back, clutching the ball to her chest with both the hands.
Suddenly the ball started to turn blue with a hissing sound. The room got filled with blue light. Senyorita was too scared. Mary and Golda got frightened and ran to their dad and told him what happened. He froze in shock!
He rushed to the room and was terrified to see his young girl as the victim. He knelt down and started crying loudly and heavily. None of them could infer what was happening. They were all puzzled!
Senyorita was numb and did not even think about keeping the ball aside. She kept it to herself and continued gazing at it. Hatkin got himself composed. Mary and Golda looked at him with all questions in their mind. They were appalled and waited patiently for Hatkin to speak up. Then after few minutes, he soothed himself and narrated all that had happened, to his little daughters. Mary and Golda become perplexed and looked at Senyorita with sympathy. Senyorita looked at her dad with watery eyes.
After couple of minutes, she went closer to her dad, let the ball stay on floor and took his hands into her. She then said,” Papa! Don’t worry. I am ready to go there. Let us not waste time. I am afraid whether delaying might affect you or my sisters. So, please take me there papa”, pleaded Senyorita in her soft low husky voice.
Hatkin was unable to help himself. He kept crying and crying. The house got swallowed by sorrow.
Next day, Hatkin and Senyorita set on their boat towards the isolated region in the river Menice. They did not speak with each other. They both kept weeping and Senyorita felt that it is her last day on earth and she is going to be dead soon.
The boat slowly reached the tree. For the first time, the tree smiled at them and in a fraction of second, they were down in the doorstep of the witch’s house.
Senyorita was astounded to see waterless region under a huge river. The witch appeared in front of them. She looked at the small girl from tip to toe. Then she laughed very loudly. Everything perplexed Senyorita and she got highly scared.
The witch suddenly pulled Senyorita and flew away with her, in her broomstick. Hatkin was clueless. He stood still for a couple of minutes and started shouting crazily. He ran around the place but was unable to figure out anything.
He ran around crazily crying and shouting. But, he got no response. After thirty minutes, Senyorita appeared before him. He was overwhelmed by joy and hugged her. He noticed a man standing by the side of the witch. He looked exclaimed. The witch came up to Hatkin and appreciated him for his work. But, Hatkin was curious to know what had happened. The witch did not accept to reveal the truth and in a wave of her wand, Hatkin and Senyorita were sailing back to the land. Everything looked like a dream and added to it, there were two heavy gunny bags full of gold in their boat. Hatkin kept asking her what had happened. But Senyorita was unable to recollect anything. All she remembers is the time, the witch pulled her away from her father and the time she came back to her father.
The salvation for Huber is to mix 5 drops of the girl’s blood from her right hand pointing finger, with the preserved mixture. The witch took Senyorita to her invisible room and prepared the final mixture. Then, she fed it to Huber, who stood high as a tree. With million of sparkling stars and heavy beam of light, the tree changed into Huber. The witch Nandy and Huber were very happy that they have attained the salvation. The witch gave back Senyorita to her dad and gave them the mounds of gold too. Thus, Huber and Nandy were accepted to live in the witch kingdom in the sea Carronea, by King Hesley.
Hatkin was happy with the gold and brought astounding grooms to his daughters and got them married. Mary and Golda showed respect towards their sister Senyorita. Senyorita was blessed by an enticing groom who loved her more than anything. To her, his love is more valuable than the mounds of gold she got!
