When he left his room, Taufik moved into the living room, where he saw his mother eating Fried chicken while watching the news.
He sits down next to her and picks up the Fried chicken at the table.
In the past few years they've been doing this, After work her mother always brought food for them to eat together, so at dinner, he only ate a little so he could keep her mother company when she came back after work, and that was the least he could do for his mother right now.
Ever since his father died his mother has gone on to pursue her goal of becoming a designer she has started working in several boutiques to gain experience, and after several years she feels she has had enough experience she finally opened her boutique using her father's insurance money that she has been saving.
She was quite successful in her work, she had worked several times with famous figures like artists and models who liked the clothing designs she had created, So their family was quite wealthy for a 2-member family.
When she saw her son sitting next to her, her mother smiled kindly, but suddenly she was startled by her son, she hadn't noticed it when they met earlier because he covered his head with a towel, so she asked worried.
"Fik, are you okay, you look a little pale, you're not sick, are you?" His mother said.
"Don't worry Mom, I'm fine" he replied, trying to calm her down.
"Well if you say so, but if you feel uncomfortable just let me know, okay?" His mother said, still feeling worried about his son.
"Yes, Mom, I know."
After saying that they continue their activities and watch the news, right now the news is broadcasting about recent missing persons cases.
Hearing the news, her mother is slightly worried, turns to her son, and says.
"Fik, lately there's a lot of missing cases, so be careful when you leave or come back from school, don't wander around and just go straight home! okay? " His mother's orders sounded a bit worried.
When it comes to cases like missing persons, her mother always overreacts, but given what happened to his father, it's understandable.
"Relax, ma'am your son is quite strong, so you don't have to worry, when they come to me I will beat them all," he said sounding a little childish, Trying to alleviate her anxiety, but getting no reply from her, he turned to look at her mother's expression that looked even more worried.
"I'm sorry Mom, I just joking," He said quickly feeling guilty for making his mother worry.
His mother then hugged him and said in a sad voice "It's hard enough for me when your father is missing, if I lose you too I'll probably go crazy" She said, hugging his child tightly, afraid of her son suddenly disappearing like his father someday.
Heard his mom's sad voice, he felt guilty, then he thought 'Don't worry Mom, now I know why the father is missing, when I find enough evidence, I will tell you everything, no I will find him then bring him back, just wait a little longer when I know how to enter the hidden world I will begin my move, just wait' He finds a new resolve to grow stronger in addition to protecting his mother, he will use the power he has gained to the best of his ability.
With the new motivation to grow stronger, Then he also hugged his mother back still feeling guilty for making her sad "You don't have to worry mom, I'll never leave you, I'll always be by your side, Mom, so don't worry" he said while stroking her back, trying to calm her down.
After he felt that his mother had calmed down a bit, he slowly let go of her and said, "But I tell you the truth when I tell you that I am strong ." He said, pointing out his forearm muscle that had grown stronger after fusing with the progenitor vampire Bloodline.
"See?" He asks, pointing at his muscle.
"Hahaha" His mother just chuckled at her son's action and said "Yes I do believe you, so can my strong son, get me a glass of water from the kitchen? I feel a little thirsty" His mother asked him.
"Yes, ma'am, this strong son of yours will do as you command," He said, Immediately standing to get his mother a glass of water
But before he could take a step, he heard his mother say "Fik, did you grow a little taller?" She said, Found her son's height it was taller than what she remembered.
'How does she know? I think she doesn't realize that, Because she didn't question it after we'd been talking this long, is that what you call a mother's instinct' he thought, quickly trying to find a reason why he getting taller than his mom.
"Ah, I've been working out in my room this whole holiday, maybe I getting taller too, who knows? Hehe," He said with an Awkward laugh, Scratching the back of his head, Finding his reason sounded a little inconclusive.
Hearing that his mother just said "I don't know that, why are you working so suddenly, are you falling in love so that you want to look better? I was expecting a granddaughter!" She said, teased her son.
"Mom, I'm just 17 this year, what about this granddaughter thing, I don't even have a girlfriend yet!!" He said, irritated at his mother's teasing.
'A granddaughter?, please ask that's after I find a girlfriend first' he thought.
"What, you don't have a girlfriend Are you have a problem?, like being a ge-," She said with fake shock but got cut off by her son when she wanted to finish what she said.
"Mom, it's enough I'm normal, okay, I just haven't found the right person, yet," He said to his mom.
not wanting to hear his mon replay, he then Rushed to the kitchen to get his mother's glass of water,
"you're so handsome but don't have a girlfriend it's normal for people to doubt," She said, shaking her head and looking at her son's retreating figure.
It's always her joy when she teases her son about a girlfriend because he was single from birth when he was so handsome.
When Taufik returned to the living room, he gave his mother her water and then continued watching the television, his mother just lay her head on her son's Thighs and continued watching the television, By the time they thought it was almost midnight, they were cleaning up and going back to their rooms to rest...
