"Aksa Mom?... I'm sure you know or at least have heard her na... Aksara's mother is Gaia... The Goddess Gaia"
"..."
"..."
The whole room imdiately beca silent after Taufik said that.
Because, after all, what Taufik said sounds very hard to believe; what we are talking about here is the Goddess Gaia.
Which if from the Knowledge of Mankind is the Goddess of the Earth, the mother of all life. She is one of the primordial deities, or first gods, who erged from the cosmic void called Chaos. Gaia gave birth to Uranus (the sky), Pontus (the sea), and Ourea (the mountains) without a partner. Later, with Uranus, Gaia mothered the Titans, the Cyclopes, and the Hecatoncheires (giants with a hundred hands).
That is what Humans know about Gaia.
And just now, Taufik admitted that he was the husband of the goddess, which, of course, sounded unreasonable to the others.
--------
"... You're joking, right?"
Linda asked Taufik; she always and will continue to believe in her son; it's just that what Taufik just said was a little hard to believe, even for her.
"... I've been telling the truth, Mom, ask your husband if you don't believe , he had t with Gaia before"
Taufik answered. Making Marzuki, who heard it, surprised, which made him unconsciously turn his head towards Taufik, with an expression that seed to say: "Why did you involve in this?!"
He (Marzuki) just wanted a touching reunion after he ca back for so many years, but before that could happen, his own son, who was also the one who made it possible for him to co back here, ruined the reunion he wanted, and so many things have happened since he ca back and he hasn't gotten anything he wanted and now, he's kneeling on the floor with his son, and his grandson, in front of his wife's and son's extended family.
Even now, the son he tried to defend earlier was now dragging him into another problem; if he had known this, maybe it would have been better not to do anything from the start.
"Fi-"
"It's what he said was true?"
But before Marzuki could say anything, Linda's question was heard first, which made Marzuki nervously turn to look at his wife.
"... I-I don't know, more precisely, I don't know if she was the real Gaia, I an the real Goddess Gaia... Her Na is Gaia though... Please don't ask any further than that because when I et with Taufik, Aksa is already there with him, it's all that I know"
"What? Aksara was already there when you t with him?"
"Yes, if you want to know more, please ask the person himself"
Marzuki said while looking at Taufik. Instantly everyone's gaze returned to Taufik.
The eyes of the father and son t, seeing his father's gaze that seed to be mocking, Taufik clicked his tongue.
"So... OUR PRINCE OF LUST care to explain to us what exactly happened there? Looking at you, who's looking a bit OLD, you probably spent a very long ti in the past; how long was it actually, and what actually happened while you were in the Past?"
"Mom-"
"What?! You don't like it when I call you PRINCE OF LUST? Why? It fits you very well... Don't beat around the bush and just explain what really happened!!"
Hearing this from his mother, Taufik imdiately lost his courage to argue further, so having no other choice, with a sigh Taufik began to explain what happened to him when he was in the past.
"... So, when I and Lembu first arrived in the past, I..."
With that, Taufik began to tell his story when he was in the past. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire
Starting from the first day when he ca to the Past, about what he experienced there, and what he encountered.
But because of what the System said to him earlier, Taufik, of course, didn't tell the whole story, at least not about him rewriting history and eting Fate.
The story begins with how he ca to the past and found that the year he ca to was actually different from the year he was actually aiming for, which made him have to travel around and then et the Vikings, who coincidentally happened to know Marzuki.
But from what the Vikings told him, Marzuki had long since left their tribe and no one knew his whereabouts at that ti.
This actually invited a lot of curious looks at Marzuki about how he ended up with the Viking tribe, but right now they were all focused on listening to Taufik's story.
Taufik's story continues with him and Lembiswana flying here and there for several days but instead of finding a clue, they find a Horde Beast coming out of the crack.
After that, the ti ca for Taufik to tell how he t Aksara's mother or Gaia, about how Gaia tells him about what happened to Marzuki after he ended up in the past, and how Gaia tried to tell Taufik to give up and better to go back to where's he co from, which Taufik refused imdiately.
Which then sohow ended with Gaia telling him where Marzuki was at the mont, which, of course, made Taufik very happy. The day ended with Gaia kissing Taufik and then disappearing because she didn't have enough energy to maintain her body, which turned out to be just an avatar that Gaia sent to et Taufik.
Although hearing why the day ended with Gaia kissing Taufik confused those who heard it, no one dared to interrupt because the story that Taufik was going to tell seed like it was about to enter an interesting part with how Taufik's expression beca serious.
Taufik continued his story, starting with the morning approaching and Taufik and Lembuswana then continued their journey to where Marzuki was from the information given by Gaia.
Then how they both found a lot of cracks that appeared along their journey; fighting the Beast that ca out of the Crack was quite easy, but if it appeared continuously, then it would be a problem too; this made them feel bad, and sure enough bad things happened not long after that.
Hercules appears and intercepts their journey, and how a great battle takes place between Taufik and Hercules, which ends with Taufik being the winner, but before everything calms down again, sothing worse happens.
Taufik did not tell it in that detail for this part, and only said that with the death of Hercules, Olympus was angry with him and tried to take revenge for what happened to Hercules, in this version, Taufik said that at that ti he used all his strength to forcefully open the portal to summon the sealed Gaia and succeeded, but in exchange he ran out of Mana and had to be in a coma for years.
After that, Nāgāntaka, who was in his small bird form, and Lembuswana continued the story after Taufik fell into a coma, about how the Saranjana Kingdom was ford until Taufik regained consciousness.
After that, Taufik then told the story again about how he woke up and found that he had beco King, and about how he spent ti with Gaia during his recovery period, which was also the reason why Aksara could exist.
Then about Gaia who was pregnant, and about how he postponed looking for Marzuki just to accompany the pregnant Gaia, Taufik actually felt uncomfortable telling this when Jenn, Rani, Anugerah, and Kaeal were here because Taufik was not by their side for a long ti when they were pregnant, but when he saw Jenn and the others' expressions were fine, Taufik at least felt relieved.
Years passed and then Aksara was born, and when Aksara was two years old, Taufik took Aksara with him and finally went to look for Marzuki and succeeded in finding him.
--------
"... After Finding this troubleso Old Man, at first I didn't tell him who I was and then went along with him to travel on his ship with him under the pretext of showing Aksa the outside world, but it didn't last long before he knew who I really was, but even so we continued to travel for a while longer because my intention to show Aksara the outside world was true, at least it would give him an experience with that he wouldn't forget about after I went back to the future because that was the only thing I could do for him as a father at that ti"
Taufik said, then looked around, but saw that they were all silent as if they were lost in the story he was telling, he then continued to say.
"We sailed for almost two years and managed to sail more than half the world before I finally decided to stop our journey and decided to return to the future because I felt that I didn't have much ti left to stay in the past, and as you guys know, here I am now... That's what happened to when I went back in ti... And if you want to know how this old man of mine ended up in the past, you should ask him yourself because really, I don't know what happened"
"W-what?!"
Marzuki said with a little annoyance, but it was too late because everyone's attention was now focused on him.
Seeing this, Marzuki could only sigh and then began to tell about what happened to him.
