Chapter 189: chapter 189- Moving
When they returned from Britain last night, it was already dawn, so they just cleaned themselves up a bit and went straight to bed.
It wasn't even morning yet, but Taufik had already woken up, not because of anything, but because of the loud noise from outside his house.
"... What the f*ck with that noise?"
Said Taufik and immediately opened the curtains a little to peek outside, what he saw outside was very chaotic, a sea of people had already surrounded his house, reporters with their respective cameras, taking pictures of Taufik's house, and a line of police, forming a barricade to prevent these people from entering Taufik's house.
"... What the...
Said Taufik in surprise, and immediately closed the curtains again; he looked at his wives and Alice, who were still sleeping soundly because the barrier that Taufik installed around his house also blocked out the sound a little, but Taufik could still hear the noise because of the Enhanced Sense that he had.
... Guys, wake up!"
Said Taufik who immediately took Alice into his arms.
"Hmmm~"
Alice groaned a little but didn't wake up.
"Jenn! Wake up!"
Said Taufik once again while patting Jenn's body, and he also did the same thing to Kaela, Rani, and Anugerah.
"Hmm~ What's wrong Dear?"
Ask Jenn, who is still half asleep. She and the others, as pregnant women, should rest a lot, but Jenn and the others only slept for less than two hours before Taufik woke them up.
After Jenn, the others also woke up, and just like Jenn, they were still half asleep.
"... What happens, Husband?"
"Pack your things as needed, we'll be leaving this house soon."
"Ha? Huh?"
They all asked with confused faces, however, instead of explaining it to them, Taufik pointed to the window, telling them to see it for themselves, and after that, Taufik immediately left the room, with Alice still sleeping in his arms.
Taufik woke up all his family one by one, starting with his mother, Shasha, and Tina who were sleeping in a room for himself, for Lembuswana, Taufik didn't need to do that, because he was currently "busy" watching television, he said that he would watch all the movies, anime, and other things before he and Taufik went on their long journey, and for the past few days he had been staying up late to do that, there was a time he stopped, and that was when he accompanied Alice last night in Britain, that was because Taufik forced him.
After they all woke up, They all gathered in the living room, and after that, Taufik explained their current condition to them all.
"... So, we have to move, right away! Pack your things as needed and we'll go Immediately after that, As for the other stuff, I'll move it later when things calm down"
Said Taufik once again, and after that, they all went to pack their things.
"Ohh~ Shasha"
"Yes, Master"
"... Can you also pack my mom's things? I have something that I want to talk about with my mom, can you?"
"No, I can do that myself... I know this thing will happen if news about you being a prince is out to the public... I know we will move soon or later and I already prepared myself, that's why I am giving you permission regarding the coronation, so... I'm okay, Fik, I will pack my things on my own"
Linda said as if she already knew what Taufik was going to talk to her about. Seeing this, Taufik could only remain silent while looking at his mother's figure walking towards her room with Shasha.
*Tok~Tok~Tok~*
Only the sound of the knock on the door could make Taufik come out of his silent state.
Taufik quickly went to the door; after laying Alice, who was still sleeping on the couch.; he looked through the door hole, and when he saw that the person knocking on the door was a police officer and someone who was neatly dressed. Taufik recognized the neatly dressed person as the Mayor of Tarakan.
Taufik immediately opened the door, and immediately after that, the camera flash immediately turned on, making the previously dim conditions with only the light of the moon and the light from the police siren immediately bright like day because of the camera flash.
"Good morning, sir... prince, sorry for disturbing your rest, we are from the police-"
Said the policeman, but he stopped in the middle because the person Taufik knew as the Mayor of Tarakan City, suddenly put his hand forward to ask Taufik to shake hands with a career smile on his face.
"It's an honor to meet you, Prince. I never thought that a prince like you would have been living in this small town for so long without anyone knowing. Surely you already know who I am, so I don't need to introduce myself"
"..."
Taufik, whose head was sticking out of the gap in the open door, just looked at the Mayor without returning his handshake.
The mayor, who understood that Taufik did not want to shake hands with him, could only awkwardly pull his hand back and fake a cough. And the policeman next to him could only grin in satisfaction at this.
"*Ukhum* First of all can I come in first, it's not comfortable to talk out here with this crowd"
"... For what?" Ask Taufik.
Taufik's question only made the atmosphere more awkward for the Mayor, but Taufik didn't care.
"... For Talking?"
"I don't have anything to talk with you... I don't want to sound rude to you, but could you please leave my house?"
Said Taufik to the Mayor, and without saying anything else, he immediately closed the door of his house, leaving the Mayor frozen in place, still with the career smile he had on his face.
Seeing this, the police tried very hard to hold back his laughter because, after all, this person was still the Mayor of Tarakan City, The city where he was assigned.
"... Sir, come, I will guide you to your car"
Said the police, and was immediately agreed by the Mayor, because after all he was still the Mayor, so it was natural that he had to be escorted to his car so that other people would not immediately crowd around him, especially with this many crowds around Taufik's house, it would definitely be difficult to get to his car.
That's what he thought (the Mayor), but different from what he thought, the road to his car was very smooth without any obstacles; it was like when Moses split the ocean into two; that's how smooth the Mayor's journey was to his car.
When the Mayor entered his car with an expression that was hard to explain, that was when the police finally burst out laughing.
--------------
- Back to inside of the House.
While Taufik was talking to the Mayor, Jenn, and the others had already finished packing their things.
"Who's that, Dear"
"... Just Nobody, Don't worry, instead of that, are you guys ready? First, we will stop at the Dai-Yak tribe village, you will spend some time there while I will build a new house on the land given by Rijal, it won't take long"
Hearing Taufik's question, they all nodded their heads, and Taufik also replied with a nod, only after that did he open the portal to the Dai-Yak tribe village.
With Anugerah gently lifting Alice into her arms so as not to wake her, they entered the portal one by one.
What is unique is Lembuswana, when others were holding suitcases/bags in their hands, he was carrying a television, but Taufik did not have time to reprimand him, so he assumed that he did not see anything and let it be.
With the door closed, the house was empty without a single person.
Until morning came, the crowd around Taufik's house did not decrease but only increased, even several content creators also joined the crowd and did Live Streaming, which only made the crowd grow even bigger.
Little did they know, the person they were waiting for to come out was no longer in the house.
-------------
In the boundary between dawn and morning, where people are still fast asleep, a portal opens in the Dayak village; unlike before, this time, there is no one to greet Taufik and the others.
But after a while, finally, there were those who welcomed Taufik and the others, not Humans, but spirits; more precisely, the four Ancient Spirits who still chose to stay in the Dai-Yak tribe village for a few more days.
That didn't matter because Taufik did say that they could stay as long as they wanted, but the ones who were in trouble were the Ka-Zask Tribe, who were waiting for Banaspati to return.
"... Fik, What brings you here at this hour... with such luggage?" Ask Chelone.
"We Want to Move House"
Taufik answered briefly, which made the four Ancient Spirits think that he was telling a joke.
"Yes?... What?"
Chelone asked again, but this time with a confused look.
"I said, we will move house"
"..."
"..."
"... Ok? Wh-... Wait! Here?"
....
...
