Chapter 151: chapter 151- Promise Between Mother And Son

"The Teleportation tool Is one Kilometer Ahead; you guys probably didn't see it because My elder put an Illusion Magic around that tool, and Only we, The Tokugawa could see the path to it, so please follow me closely"

Said Tokugawa Asahi; after they left the beach, Tokugawa Asahi led Taufik and the others to the place where The Teleportation tools were placed.

The location was not too far but also not that close; it's around Thirty minutes of walking, but what makes it difficult is the uphill road, it's not a problem for Taufik and the others; the only person who was troubled by this uphill road was Linda. After, she's still a normal human in the Family.

"Anugerah, please carry Alice"

Said Taufik to Anugerah, then handed the half-sleep Alice to her, and Anugerah immediately brought Alice into her arms smoothly without waking her up.

"You can go help Mother now, she seems to struggle to keep walking at our pace"

"Hahaha~ you notice? That mother of ours is just too stubborn, she should just accept the help offer from Shasha, instead of walking on her own"

Taufik said while looking at Linda, who was walking behind and was accompanied by Shasha and Lembuswana.

"Alright~ I will go get her, just keep walking and I'll follow later"

Said Taufik, then directly walking toward his Mother, Anugerah, who saw this, was smiling while shaking her head and then kept walking, following the rest of the Group ahead.

----------------

"Mom, you should just take Shasha's offer to help you"

Said Taufik while looking at Linda, who right now was panting.

"Hmm~ are you looking down at your Mother, Son? *Pant* I'm not that *pant* weak to the point that I *pant* need a help just for a walk *pant*...... ahh~ I'm so tired~"

"..."

"See! Your Mother was too Stubborn, child, I and Shasha have offered her help, but she always refused"

Said Lembuswana who perched on Shasha's shoulder.

"Hahhh~"

Taufik took a deep breath when he look at his mother condition, can't bear to watching it anymore, he then quickly got close to his mother, and without any more words, he suddenly carried his mother in a princess carry.

"!!!"

"E-eh-huh? What are you doing, Fik? Put me Down!"

"... you are probably tired, right now, isn't it? Just rest, Mom, I will carry you to our destination"

Said Taufik and then looked at Shasha.

"Shasha, let's go, we have to catch up with the others"

"As your order, Master"

Said Shasha, and then she walked past Taufik with Lembuswana on her shoulder.

Seeing Shasha walk ahead, Taufik looks at his mother.

"Let us walk too, Mom"

"Hahh~ What I should do to you?... At least carry me on your back; this position was embarrassing for me; what would Alice say If she Saw her dear Grandma in this position?"

Said Linda, already Giving up on her struggle to get out of her son's arms, which hadn't even begun yet.

She didn't do it, the "struggling", because she knew that no matter what she did, her son would never let her go.

"... You worried at that? *sigh* "

Taufik then put his mother down then squatted down in front of his mother.

"C'mon, Mom, we are already far behind the others"

"Alright~ alright~ why are you in such a hurry? It's not like Tokyo will disappear if we're late"

Said Linda and then climbed onto her son's back.

"Okay, I'm ready"

"Then, let's go follow the others"

After he said That, Taufik then started walking, he depended on his 'Detection skill' and his 'All-seeing eyes' to follow the others.

Taufik keeps walking without talking with his mother and his mother also does the same, she only leans her head to her son's Shoulder without any word coming out from her mouth, but the silence between them strangely felt comfortable, maybe it's because they Rarely spend a time together like what they usually did when there's only the two of them in the family.

"... Mom"

Taufik called his mom and broke that comfortable silence.

"Hmm?"

"I have always wanted to ask this, but I always hold it back, because I know you must have a reason behind it"

"... And What the question is?"

There's a pause before Taufik can open his mouth Again. He deliberately slowed down his pace so he could talk to his mother longer.

"... Why did you never ask me to turn you into a vampire, if you become a Vampire, it will ease my mind a little, thinking at least when I'm not around, you have something to protect yourself, but you never ask, why so?"

"..."

Getting no replay from his mother, made Taufik think maybe there was a reason that his mother didn't want to talk to him, And Taufik didn't want to force her to tell him her reason, after all, everyone had some secret that they kept for themselves and will not tell anyone else, even he still keep the system existence as secret for his family, so his mother probably have one or two secrets that she can't tell others to, even if it to her own son, and Taufik wanted to respect it, so he didn't ask any more questions and just keep walking.

"... It's not like I didn't want to become a Vampire like you and Jenn, I even wanted it so badly, because there are no women out there who can resist the Eternal youth that Vampire has, but"

Said Linda after a long silence.

"But?... "

Taufik asked, stopping his step and then looking to the side at his mother.

"But, what the point of having an Eternal youth if I didn't have someone that I can show it to?"

Taufik was silent when he heard what his mother said. There's a word that he wants to say, but he can't bring himself to open his mouth, so he just silently waits for his mother to Continue what she wants to say.

"... If your Father is not with us, what the point of me having an Eternal youth?... It's not like I didn't love all of you... the truth is I really~really~ love all of you...

but without your Father, my Husband at my side, I can't seem to bear living that long life that vampires have, so I just wanted to grow older with the love I have for all of you and Die one day with that love still in my heart... It will be the Happiest thing in my life... it is a good enough reason for you?"

"... I... I"

"Hahaha~ don't be like that, Fik! To me, watching you grow like this, is good enough, but now that you have Alice and In a few months later your other kids will also be born, I just hope my life was long enough to see them grow into fine adults, that's all I ask for"

Said Linda while stroking her son's long hair. Feeling his mother's hand gently stroking his hair made Taufik calm down again.

"... I understand, Mom, but don't worry, Just like what I said before, I will bring Father back and make him kneel in front of you for making you wait for too long. After all of this is done, I will begin my move"

Said Taufik, Actually, after the matter with Tina was finished, he should have gone to look for his father.

However, because the Ancient Earth Spirit said that he had information about the Void Century, Taufik postponed it again and would go when he had obtained information from the Ancient Earth Spirit because, after all, having more information about the Void Century would increase Taufik's chances of being able to save his father.

"Hmm~ I believe my strong son would be able to do it, you are My son after all, ahaha~"

"That's right, there's nothing that could stop you're strong son, Ahahaha~"

The two of them then laugh on their way to catch up with the others, and after their laugh subsides, Taufik can feel his mother's hug become tighter, which makes Taufik stop his step once again.

"... Mom?"

"... You're my strong son... So I will not forbid you to do whatever you want to do... just promise me one thing, just one thing... Is that when you're done with whatever you do, you will come back to me, after all, as much as I love your father, it still can't beat my love for you... I just wanted you to promise me that"

In every word that Linda said, Taufik could feel the love that a mother has for her child.

And at the end of her words, Taufik could feel a bead of tears fall onto his shoulder.

"Mom... "

"Don't say anything, son, you just have to promise me, it's all I need"

"I...I promised you, Mom... Even death can't stop me from coming back to you"

"... Then it's good... Now, keep walking, you're the one who hurried me before, but now you're the one who made us late"

"Ahaha~ You're Right, they probably have arrived at the destination by Now... Alright~ Mom, you better hold me tight, don't let yourself fall later!"

He didn't wait for his mother to respond, and directly made a Long Jump.

"Wh-wha- Huh? *AHHH!!* "

In one jump, Taufik passed tens of meters, and In every Jump, a scream from Linda could be heard, which made Taufik laugh.

"... YOU... AN... UNGRATEFUL... SON... LET...

ME... DOWN... RIGHT... NOW!!!"

Said Linda with every jump that Taufik took, but it only made Taufik laugh Louder Instead of stopping.
