After they sat together, Taufik began to explain the situation to Reza and his mother, and of course, he said that Rani, Anugerah, and Keala were from abroad.
Taufik Created a story about when he met Them; he told them it happened when they were in the school holidays after semester exams. Taufik 'Accidentally' met them, Who also are on holiday in Indonesia and were visiting various cities in Indonesia, and Tarakan City is one of them.
He told them the cliche story about a man saving a beauty, and how he decided to accompany them to visit tourist attractions in Tarakan, Do that and this, and how they can end up together, Throughout the story, Reza just kept quiet and listened, only his mother occasionally answered and asked a few questions.
"yeah and that's how we got to this point-
*BANG!!!*
""!!!""
All of them look at Reza who suddenly hit the Table.
"Reza, what the he-?"
"Do you think I will believe that story?"
Reza said, his hair covering his eyes, giving him an Aura that tells that he knows something. Rani, Anugerah, and Kaela are a little bit nervous about this.
'Does he know something?'
That is what the three of them Thought; only Linda and Taufik were still calm in this situation; Taufik knew that his friends were not capable of thinking something like that, and that's why he was still able to remain calm, and Linda simply didn't care, she was busy feeding Alice with a cake that she and Shasha have made, Right now, that cake was special, because there's Taufik Blood mixed on it, it's specially made for Alice, it's different from the cake that they served for Reza and his mother.
"What do you mean, Reza?"
Taufik asks, still maintaining his calm expression.
"... Fik, My Friend, we Grew up Together; from Elementary School to High School, we never Separated, But... "
"But?"
"But...
Reza said, Raising his head and then looking at Taufik with eyes full of Jealousy and Envy.
... But why it's Always you!? Damn! It should be me; what is your secret? Did you do something behind me that I didn't know of? Huh?
Are you some secret agent or something? Is Uncle Marzuki Secretly an heiress from a wealthy family? Or is it Aunt Linda? Damn!! How can you be this lucky?"
Hearing the barrage of questions asked by Reza, Taufik just remained silent. Seeing Taufik remain silent, Reza moved his Face Close to Taufik.
"Tell me my Friend, what is Your Secret? Please tell me, I-I also want to create a Harem, you know it's my Dream to make on-"
*Plackk!*
"*Ouch!* what the Hell?"
Reza said, rubbing his head, then looked at who hit him.
"'What' what?"
"..."
Faced with his mother 'Dangerous' Gaze Reza back to his place.
"I'm Sorry for what my son said; by the way, Who is that cute little girl? She's so pretty" Reza's mother asked.
After she asks that, there's silence in that room; all of them look at each other, trying to come up with reasonable answers, but Taufik, who doesn't care, says without caring.
"She's my Daughter"
"...W-what?" x2
Reza and his mother said at the same time.
"W-why? How?" Sёarᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"...Just because. I met her when we went overseas; she lived alone and was neglected, so I decided to adopt her. Her Name is Alice. I gave him my family name, so it's Alice D'Archy Hidayat; she's cute, right?"
"... She's Indeed cute, but Are you sure? I mean, it is okay?"
Reza asks, And Taufik just simply looks at his mother, who happily feeds Alice, then back to look at Reza.
"Yeah~ It's okay, I can manage it"
"*sigh* Time was indeed moving faster for you, by the way, I have another reason why I came here, but looking at this situation... No, Nevermind" Reza said.
"What it is, Reza? Just tell me, I will do what I can"
"...
It's about the earthquake that happened a few days ago, you know that there are many victims because of that, and my Father was one of them, he was on his way to go work when that Earthquake happened, unfortunately, some debris fall to him, he right now was is unconscious, we have taken him to a hospital that is still operating, they said he has a severe brain hemorrhage, if not operated on immediately, it will cause very serious symptoms, but the cost of the operation is very large, we have tried to borrow from the closest relatives, but you know the current conditions, it is very difficult to get a loan, so I thought you might have some savings, but seeing your current condition...
Reza said, pausing for a while looked at around the room.
... Just forget it, you have many mouths that must be fed, but I'm happy to see you Okay...Alright, we will lea-"
Reza said, wanting to stand up, but Taufik held him up.
"If it's just money, I can do something about that, how much do you need, I will just give it to you"
"But Fik, it's not a small amount, It's 100.000.000 IDR (61.387,40 USD)"
Reza's Mother said, Initially she did not think of borrowing that much money from Taufik, But the situation with his Husband was getting worse day by day. But His son said it wouldn't hurt to try; moreover, with Linda's business still running until now, it is possible that they have money in the amount or more than that.
"Don't worry Karina, you can't Imagine how much money that brat Has, 100.000.000 IDR is just a small amount for him"
Said Linda, who had also heard what they were talking about from the start. She and Reza's Mother, Karina, have known each other since a long time ago, and it seems that there was an interesting story behind it that involved Taufik's Father, but Linda never wanted to tell that to Taufik; said that it was an embarrassing story when they were still a teenager.
When they heard what Linda said, Reza and Karina looked at Taufik.
"It's is True Fik?"
Karina asked, trying to confirm whether what Linda said was true.
"*Nod* What my Mom said was indeed true, If it's just 100.000.000 IDR, I can Just Give it, no need to return, After all, Uncle Tawakal was Like a Father Figueres to me, so it's okay"
Heard that Karina had shed tears, he then Grabbed Taufik's hands with both of her hands. Reza Just looks in another Direction, Trying to hide his tears, but Taufik knows that he just wants to look cool in front of 'His' Women, which makes Taufik shake his head while slightly smiling at The Behaviour of his best friends.
"Thank you, Son, Really Thank you"
"Don't mention it, Aunty, Just tell me where Uncle Tawakal was hospitalized, and I will Go there and take care of the administrative costs, You can rest Assured"
-----------------
That afternoon, Taufik directly went to Hospital A, where Reza's father was, Directly paid for the operation cost, and also visited Reza's Father.
In between visiting times, Taufik made sure that Reza's father's condition was stable with his magic, he did not immediately cure him because that would invite suspicion either from the hospital or from Reza and his mother.
After ensuring that his condition was stable, Taufik handed over the rest to the hospital staff.
'I think it's Good Enough, Now it's Time To Go Home and Think about my next Plan'
Said Taufik inside his mind, then said goodbye to Reza and his mother, then rushed back to his house.
- A few days Later.
Rijal and Rati Come to visit Taufik house.
"We Decide to Get Married; The event will be held when conditions in the village are stable. We are here to personally invite you and your family. Please come when the time comes"
Rijal Said, Announce about his marriage to Taufik and The others.
"Wow, Congratulations, I hope you have a Happy Marriage"
Jenn said, congratulating them, then Followed by Rani and the others, who also congratulated Them on their Marriage.
"Hehe~ It's All thanks to Sir Taufik"
Rati suddenly said. And the person in question just tilts his head in Confusion.
"... Me? What do I even do?"
"You don't have to know that; what you have to know is that it's because of you that we can Get Married," Rijal said.
"Yeah~ Whatever, as long as you guys are happy with that...
Said Taufik, then he looked at Rati.
... What about the things I asked you to do? It is done?"
"Ahh~ About that? The Ancient Earth Spirits was Indeed have woke up, but he was behaving weirdly after he woke up, he didn't even want to talk to me. Only after I told him about Your Massage that he say something"
"Ohh~ What he's saying?"
Taufik asked. He didn't know how The ancient earth Spirits usually behave, but if even Rati, who always 'stays' beside him, had to say that, then something was Indeed wrong.
"He just said that he will tell you when you go meet him personally, He needs to tell you this and only you"
"*Sigh* what a troublesome Turtle, why just don't he that come here? Why should I bother going back there again?"
"...Ahaha~ The ancient earth Spirits just can't leave his post, he said that what he wanted to say to you was very Important and he needed you to meet him as soon as possible"
"Alright~ Alright, I will come with you when you go back later"
Taufik said; he already felt tired of having to go back there again, but if what the ancient earth spirits were going to say was something important, then he had to listen to it.
"Thank you, sir"
