After breakfast, this and that happened and it was time for goodbyes.

"... Master, it is really okay for me to stay here?" Asked Nāgāntaka to Taufik.

"... Yeah, you should, you're the face of this kingdom, stay in this kingdom and keep protecting this kingdom"

"Understood maste-"

"NO! PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU!"

Lembuswana shouted as he struggled in Aksara's arms; it was true, as Taufik had said before; Aksara asked Lembuswana to stay with him to accompany him, which Taufik happily accepted.

"... Are you sure it's alright for Lembu to stay here, Master?"

"Probably... I think"

Taufik answered, then looked at someone who had not been seen for a long time, then said.

"... And for you, Kl'lara do your task properly"

"You can trust me, my lord"

Kl'lara said with full confidence, but hearing it, Taufik was not happy but frowned.

"... I'll trust you if you didn't say that with your pajamas on... *Sigh* at least with you here, I can feel more at ease"

"Hehe~ I don't have any activity after the last war, so there's only sleep, sleep, and then sleep, hehe~"

"*Tch* Whatever, but now, you need to remember to always be ready and listen to Gaia and Aksara's orders because, during my absence, they were the ones who replaced me as your master, later, If I hear even one word of your disobedience to them, you know what will happen, right? Do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord, you can rest assured"

"Good"

After saying everything he needed to say to Nāgāntaka and Kl'lara, Taufik then approached Aksara, who was standing right next to Gaia while hugging Lembuswana.

Taufik then crouched in front of Aksara to match his height with Aksara. Taufik placed one of his hands on Aksara's shoulder, and with a smile on his face, he said to Aksara.

"... You remember what I said to you before, right?"

"Yes, Papa, I won't promise, but you will see the results yourself when we meet again, Papa"

Aksara said with a determination that did not match his age contained in his voice.

Seeing this, Taufik could only smile, he watched his son's face carefully for the last time because this face would no longer be the same when they both met again in the future.

Changing into a face that he would not know what it would be like, it could be similar to him or maybe similar to Gaia his mother, or maybe it would be like his grandfather or his grandmother, Taufik would not know how time would change his son's little face, so for the last time, Taufik will implanted his son's little face in his mind because, for him, it might only happen in a short time but not with Aksara and the others, they would live every second that passed until the time they met later in the future, where Taufik was.

One thousand one hundred years is not a short time, many will leave, many will change, and maybe later when they meet again, the kingdom of Saranjana will not look like what he remembers, no, it will definitely change, that's how time works, the Kingdom of Saranjana in the future will no longer be the same as the Kingdom of Saranjana that Taufik currently knows, many people he knows will be gone in the future, Taufik is not sad but only a little regretful that he cannot see them go or at least accompany their departure, but there is nothing he can do, every action no matter how wild will definitely end too, so too with the unreasonable things he does now, whose time has come to end.

"... Ahh~ I hope I can see you growing up, my son, but that would be the most selfish thing I've ever done, and I can't be more selfish than this, I hope one day you'll understand that no matter how strong a person is, sometimes there are things we can't break, maybe I'm not the right person to say that, because I've done a lot of things that are considered taboo but I don't regret them... What I want to say is, no matter how strong you become later, always remember that there are things we can't do just because we want to; learn to be humble, okay?"

"... Yes, Papa"

Aksara answered with a little hesitation, seeing this, Taufik smiled again and then gently stroked Aksara's head while saying.

"... You'll understand when the time comes, no need to rush, you have all the time you need"

Aksara did not answer this time, just looking at Taufik in silence, he heard every word that his father had said word by word but he did not really understand the meaning behind the words, so he could only be silent and try to remember every word that came out of his father's mouth and then nodded his head, believing in what Taufik said, that only time could make him understand the meaning behind Taufik's words.

"... Come here, let me hug you"

Said Taufik then went forward to hug Aksara. Then added.

"I hope you growing into someone great that even I have to look up to you"

After saying that, Taufik released his hug and then looked at Lembuswana who was in Aksara's arms.

"... Please understand, Lembu, I can do anything about this; Aksa himself is asking you to stay, but don't worry, later when we meet again, I'll grant one of your wishes, you can ask for anything, Even if you ask me to free you, I will do it"

"... Are you sure?"

"Yeah~ I admit I did make you suffer a little too much, so going that far was probably worth it in my opinion, so please, just suffer a little bit more, okay?"

"What kind of request is that? But if what you say is true, then I will stay here"

"Ohh~ You accepted quite quickly, what kind of request are you going to ask for?"

Hearing Taufik's question, Lembuswana looked away and said.

"... It's none of your business"

"Well~ I'll definitely hear about it in the next few 'Days', so it's fine with me"

"..."

Seeing Lembuswana who was silent, Taufik could only smile, then looked towards the last person, namely Gaia.

"I think my farewell 'words' last night were enough, or was it not enough, Gaia?"

Hearing that, Gaia's face immediately turned red; she then moved forward and approached Taufik, who was still crouching and pulling his ear. Then said.

"What kind of things do you say in front of your child?"

"Aw! Aw! I don't say anything wrong"

Said Taufik, who immediately stood up after Gaia pulled his ear; he looked in pain, but Gaia knew that he was just acting.

"*Sigh* Just go already"

Said Gaia, which suddenly made Taufik, who heard it, surprised.

"...Do you want me to leave that badly?"

"No, I just think the longer you stay, the harder it will be for me to let you go"

Gaia said again while turning her gaze away from Taufik because she didn't want him to see her sad face.

"..."

Taufik couldn't answer anything after hearing Gaia's words, and in the end, he just approached Gaia and then hugged her tightly.

"... I love you, and it will always be like that, no matter how much time passes, my feelings will remain the same, you just need to know that"

Hearing Taufik's words, Gaia could only hug Taufik back while sobbing on his shoulder, then said.

"Me too. You will always be my first and last; I love you, Honey... I can't monopolize you because I know I'm not the only one who feels this way and I know that you also feel the same way about them as you do about me, so go and make them happy as much as I do"

"... I'll do that"

After that, the two of them continued to hug for a while before finally deciding to end it.

Gaia, who was wiping her tears, asked Taufik.

"...Are you sure you won't see the others before you go?"

"Yeah~ I already said what I wanted to say to them, and I already prepared a surprise for them, it will show after I leave, so just wait"

Taufik replied, then after that, he looked at Marzuki and immediately said.

"... C'mon, Old Man, it's your time to say goodbye and after that, we will leave immediately"

"... I don't know what to say but okay"

Said Marzuki who then approached Gaia, he said a few words before finally looking at Aksara, this time, Marzuki spoke at length to Aksara because the two of them were very close even before Marzuki knew that Aksara was his real grandson, and that was it, after saying goodbye to Aksara, Marzuki also said goodbye to the others, but only a few words and after everything was done, he then returned to Taufik's side.

"You done?"

"Yeah"

"Good, then let's get going"

Said Taufik, who then took out his Katana.

Taufik then slowly took out the katana from its sheath. The katana immediately emitted a heavy dark aura as soon as the katana was completely out of its sheath. Seeing this, Taufik took a deep breath.

"Alright, I can do this"

Said Taufik who then closed his eyes to concentrate.

He thought about the destination he wanted to go to in his mind, in his mind there appeared a giant straight line that seemed to keep moving forward, but if you looked closely it looked like there were many threads forming the straight line, it kept spinning forming a vortex pattern that moves forward, but there is one thread that seems to be forcibly separated from the others, the thread makes its own path which is the end of the thread, until it forms like the letter (p).

Taufik saw that and tried to cut the end of the thread.

*Swoosh!*

Taufik's sword slashed; in Taufik's outward view, it seemed as if he had not slashed anything, but if he looked at it from his mind, the end of the thread had been cut and slowly returned to the main path and joined the straight line.

After the thread joined the giant straight line and became one, Taufik slowly opened his eyes and a portal appeared before his eyes.
