Chapter 214: chapter 214- Five Years

"..."

*Blink... Blink... Blink*

'... Good, It's an actual ceiling now... And where is this?'

Said Taufik, after waking up, and blinking his eyes to make sure.

Taufik wanted to get up, but a headache attacked him, which made his hand unconsciously move to massage his forehead.

"... Ugh!... F*ck! I hate when something like this happens to me... And where the f*ck is this?"

Said Taufik, who then looked to the left side first; he saw nothing but a wall with ornaments that looked quite expensive and a portrait of a fairly large man; however, how shocked Taufik was when he realized that the person in the portrait was himself.

"... What the... Is that me?"

"It's you Indeed"

"!!!"

Hearing that the question he didn't expect to be answered was answered by someone, Taufik hurriedly turned his head towards where the voice came from, which was on the right side and was the entrance to the room where Taufik woke up.

"Yo-"

Taufik, who wanted to say something, suddenly stopped because the person suddenly appeared near him and immediately hugged him. This, of course, surprised Taufik, and he spontaneously raised both of his hands.

"I'm glad you finally woke up, Honey~ Don't you know how the thought of you will never wake up it's fear me?"

"W-wait! Wait! Wait!!"

Said Taufik who immediately pushed the woman away from him with both hands.

"W-who are you... Wait! Gaia? Is that you?"

"... Who else? It's me, Gaia... Do you not remember me? How can you not remember me? After the countless nights that we spent together, how can you pretend that you don't know me?

Sob~ sob~ sob~ you're so cruel... Ahh~ Should I dead that now I know that my Honey didn't love me anymore? Sob~ sob~ sob~"

"..."

"... Sob~ sob~ so-"

"Quit it, Gaia! It's not funny..."

Said Taufik who did not want to take part in the "Who-Knows-What-Game" that Gaia was doing.

"Ehehe~ I just trying to lighten the mood"

"..."

"... Did I do something wrong?"

"... No, forget that; just tell me how many days I was unconscious. And please help me to wake up; for some reason, I feel my body is a little stiff; is this a side effect of running out of Mana? As far as I know, it wasn't like this before"

Asked Taufik, who lifted both his legs to get off the bed.

"..."

But there were no answers from Gaia, and driven by curiosity mixed with confusion, Taufik looked towards Gaia.

"... Gaia?"

"... Honey, it's not Days?"

"Hm? So... Week?"

*Shake head*

"... M-month?"

Taufik asked a little nervously, when he was in Draco before, Taufik had also used up his Mana once and also used some of his life force to stop time, which made him unconscious for several months, but now only his Mana was used up, and he didn't use his Life Force at all, so he thought that he would only be unconscious for a few days.

"... Not Days, not Month either... You've been unconscious for... Years... More precisely it's... five years"

"FIVE YEARS?... No! No! No!... Gaia, your joke is not funny; where's Lembu... I'll ask him myself...

LEMBU! LEMBU!! WHERE ARE YOU?!! DAMN! WHERE THE F*CK THAT F*CKING DOLL GO AT THE TIME LIKE THIS?! LEM-"

*Grab*

"GAIA! IT'S NOT THE RIGHT TIME TO TELL JOKE, YOU KNOW MY SITUATION, HO-"

"TAUFIK!!"

Hearing a scream from someone he didn't expect to be able to make such a high-pitched voice, Taufik suddenly fell silent and looked at Gaia.

"..."

"... Calm down, will you?"

"... Okay... I'm sorry, It's... It's just... Five years? It's just hard to believe...

I'm sorry Gaia... I'm sorry for raising my voice like that"

Taufik said with a little sadness and guilt, actually, he couldn't stay in the past too long, after previously talking about the concept of time with Shemon when he was still in Draco, Shemon said that time actually cannot be stopped, but can only be slowed down, the concept of stopping time actually does not exist, what Taufik previously did when fighting the Red Dragon King, Rakshasa, was not stopping time but slowing down the time around him to the extreme, and letting his time move normally.

# A/N- "Example: Taufik and another person stand face to face at a distance of say 10 meters, When Taufik uses Imagination magic to stop time, which actually only slows down time to an extreme level, in Taufik's view he looks around as if it has stopped, and only he can move, In such a state Taufik walks as usual towards his opponent, while in the view of other people, Taufik seems to have moved in the blink of an eye to the front of the person standing opposite him"

The first time he went to the past, which was when he first met Tina, the time of the future and the past moved simultaneously, in other words, at that time one second he spent in the past, the same second would also pass in the future, that's why Taufik didn't stay too long at that time, but this time it was different, because of Shemon's knowledge and the help of the system, Taufik could make the time in the future slow down while the time he spent in the past would be normal, and how far he could slow it down was, one day here was equal to one hour that passed in the future, So, the five years that Taufik spent in the past, were equal to...

"... seventy-six days... three months after my departure to the past, meaning, their pregnancy is now six months old, in three months they will give birth, or maybe more because we are not Humans... F*ck! what am I doing here? I haven't even found my father, and so much time has passed...

I feel guilty towards Jenn and the others, for not being by their side during their pregnancy... And I'm talking about Responsibility? *Sigh* I feel like I failed as a man for them"

Taufik said depressedly, he lowered his head and combed his hair which had now grown longer with the fingers of both hands, which ended with him touching his neck with both his eyes closed, this was not in context, but Gaia who was sitting beside Taufik and saw him doing all that, felt that he was very... Hot.

'... GAIA!! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF; YOU CAN DO IT!! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO ALWAYS CHANGED HIS CLOTHES AND BATHED HIM DURING THE FIVE YEARS HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS!! YOU'VE SEEN EVERY INCH OF HIS BODY, BUT WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS NOW?? GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, WOMAN!!!'

Gaia said in her heart, as she looked at Taufik with a blushing face.

"*Sigh* I did tell them I didn't know when I would be back, but I didn't think it would be this long... Gaia?"

"Y-YES!! GAIA IS HERE"

"... Why are you acting like that?"

"N-no... It's just too hot here, don't you think? I wonder why is suddenly so hot here... Aha-haha"

Said Gaia while fanning herself with both hands and also averting her gaze from Taufik. Seeing this, Taufik suddenly realized something and immediately grinned.

"... Hot? I can't feel the heat or cold, but maybe you're right, looking at how red your face is... Are you okay?"

Said Taufik who looked at Gaia with a worried look, which only made Gaia blush more because of how Taufik looked at her.

"Ahh!! Enough about me!"

Said Gaia, who immediately covered Taufik's face with both hands.

"You must be curious about what happened in the last five years, right? I'll tell you that, so stop looking at me like that, or... I can't hold myself anymore"

"... What? Can't hold what?"

Asked Taufik with a grin, and Gaia who saw this, immediately knew that Taufik was teasing her.

"Y-you..."

"What?"

"Hmmph! I will tell Servant to bring you food and a change of clothes"

Said Gaia who then immediately stood up from the bed and wanted to leave Taufik.

*Grab*

But Taufik immediately caught Gaia's hand which made Gaia stop.

"Let go of my hand, I was worried for you, but how can you tease me like that"

"Hy~hy~ I'm sorry, I just can't hold it; it's running in our bloodline that we always tease some when there's a chance; I'm sorry, okay? So~ Will you sit down and tell me about what has happened in those five years I was unconscious and where is Lembu and Nāgāntaka now, those two always gone when I'm not around... I want to hear it directly from your mouth"

"... No teasing anymore?"

"Of Course"

"... Alright"

After saying that, Gaia sat back down beside Taufik, and seeing this Taufik could only smile faintly and then ask.

"... So what happens? And why can't I feel any power from you? It seems you have become a normal human without power"

"So you realized it, huh? It's a long story, but I will make it short, do you want to hear it?"

"..."

Hearing the words "Long Story, but I will make it short," Taufik remembered Jenn, who had also said the same words when she explained the history of Mana to him, and for some reason, Taufik felt that this time it would be the same.

"... Sure, I'll be more than happy if you tell me about that"

"Alright~ It all began when you fell unconscious...

'Shit! I know it will end up like this'

Said Taufik when he heard the word " It all began" From Gaia's Mouth Because he knew this would be a long Story.
