'What's your dreams?' That night, questions were asked over and over again; each crew member had their own dreams, whether they were big or small, whether they were beneficial to many or not, whether they were simple or not, and each crew member told them without any shame.

The night was getting darker as their food ran out and their drinks became increasingly scarce, some were already fast asleep, and some were still awake.

Aksara had been asleep on Taufik's lap, Bjorn was fast asleep, snoring, which disturbed the other crew, and Ulf, who had woken up from fainting earlier, was now enjoying what was left for him.

Those still awake are no more than ten, and Taufik and Marzuki are also included.

The atmosphere that had been lively earlier had now become quiet again. Marzuki poked the bonfire with a stick to keep the embers burning, producing a pleasant sound to the ears.

Amidst the silence, Marzuki looked at Ulf and then spoke.

"... Thank you for earlier, Ulf"

"Hm? What for? I don't remember doing something that worth your thanks, Capt"

Ulf answered without any change in his expression while continuing to eat the meat in his hand.

"Yeah~ Whatever, I know you know what I mean... "

Said Marzuki, while continuing to keep the fire burning. However, Ulf, who heard what Marzuki said, did not say anything else but slightly averted his gaze from Marzuki.

"... Tsundere"

Said Taufik while shaking his head slightly and continuing to stroke Aksara's head who was sleeping while hugging Lembuswana.

Hearing that, Ulf, who even though he didn't understand the meaning of the word 'Tsundere' that came out of Taufik's mouth, still felt annoyed, so with a slightly angry face, Ulf turned towards Taufik, he wanted to raise his voice but saw Aksara who was sleeping, he stopped for a moment, before saying to Taufik in a whisper but with an angry tone.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"... Are you mocking me, kid?"

"... No, why do you think so?"

Hearing Taufik's question, Ulf could only stare at him with a cynical look, if someone who didn't know Ulf received that look, they might think that Ulf was going to kill them but if someone who had known Ulf for a long time, they would just think it was normal because that was Ulf's expression.

"..."

"... What?"

"*Tch* Nothing!"

With that, Ulf withdrew his gaze from Taufik and then went back to enjoying his food; seeing this, Marzuki, Taufik, and the other crew who were still awake could only giggle.

With a shake of his head, Marzuki then looked back at Ulf and asked again.

"But Ulf... "

"Hmm?"

"... Is what you said earlier true? About your dream?"

Hearing his Captain's question, Ulf took a moment to think, taking a sip of the drink in his hand, before answering.

"... Maybe the things about the money are true; having too much money until I'm sick of it has always become my dream since I was still a kid... Money can't buy happiness? What bullshit, someone who said that is probably someone who never struggled in his entire life... So, yes, My dream is to have too much money until I'm sick of it, so one day, I also can say that Money can't buy happiness"

"..."

"... I don't know, it sounds so deep, but... Strange?"

Said Taufik, frowning slightly at what Ulf said. Meanwhile, Marzuki could only remain silent, because he knew why Ulf liked money so much, it was because of his past story.

"... Whatever, kid... It's my dream, I don't care about what the other said... You said something like that, do you even have a dream yourself?"

"What a strange question, of course, I also have dreams myself..."

Said Taufik while gently stroking Aksara's head, wandering about Aksara's growth during their journey of almost two years.

"Let me guess, with your power, it's probably something grand like taking over the world, am I right?"

"Well, it's not something so complicated like that, and why do I need to do something like that if the 'World' itself is already in my hands..."

"Then, what's your dreams?"

"... My dreams?... I'm maybe still too young to say this but My dream is simple, I just want to have a complete family and watch all of my kids grow into someone great"

"Ohh... "

That was all that could come out of Ulf's mouth, he looked at Marzuki, and Marzuki looked guilty after hearing what Taufik said, and he who didn't say anything just confirmed that he did feel guilty, especially after hearing that Taufik had grown up for more than ten years without him, even though it was a story that Taufik had told him long ago, but still the guilt never left his mind, once he thought if only that day he didn't accept the mission and listen to what his wife said at that time, all of this would never have happened, but what had happened could not be changed, however, life is about choices, it was his fault for choosing the wrong choice, so he had to bear the consequences of his choice, it was a form of responsibility.

"... A-Ahh~ I always heard it when you told Aksa about the future, it is really like that? I mean about the technology and... And the building, it is true"

Ulf said hurriedly as he felt the atmosphere becoming a little gloomy.

"... The future, huh? I also wanted to hear that, I wanted to know the change in advance so later when I'm back, It won't shock me that much"

Marzuki said. Although he often heard Taufik's stories about the future that he told Aksara, he usually only heard a few sentences, so he also didn't know about what changes occurred in the future after he disappeared.

"I want to tell you about it, but it will take a lot of time, is that okay with you guys?"

"Just tell us, the night is still young; we have all the 'time' we want, just talk," Ulf urged.

"... Alright, if it's what you want then-"

"Wait! Don't start yet; I want to hear it, too!"

Said a crew member who interrupted Taufik's words, immediately woke up from his 'sleep' and then approached Ulf and sat down near him.

"Alright, then-"

"Wait! I also want to hear it!"

Said another crew member who interrupted Taufik's words again.

"..."

Taufik could only remain silent when his words were interrupted twice; he then turned towards the other crew, who were still 'asleep.'

"*Ukhum!*"

*Flinch*

With Taufik's fake cough, the crew, who were lying down, flinched a little; seeing this, Taufik sighed, then said.

"Are there any of you who also want to hear it? You better wake up now rather than interrupt me again later"

"..."

At first, no one woke up, but after a few seconds passed, one by one they slowly woke up while scratching the back of their heads awkwardly. Taufik continued to wait until there was only one person left who was still asleep, and really asleep, namely Bjorn, two if Aksara was counted.

"*Sigh* Why do you have to pretend to be asleep like that?"

Marzuki asked while looking here and there among the crew who had just woken up, and the crew who heard Marzuki's question, which was directed at them, could only laugh awkwardly.

Taufik, who saw this, could only shake his head before opening his mouth again.

"... Okay, since everyone is here except Bjorn over there, I'll start the story... In the future-"

"Wait!"

"F*ck! Who is it this time?!"

Taufik said with a little annoyance as he looked toward the source of the voice that interrupted his words. And it was Bjorn who raised his hands.

"Hehe~ It's me, I just wanted to suggest, since the story is going to be long and there are a lot of us here, I think it would be better if it was accompanied by something like a drink or something... But if you can't... Then it's okay, Hehehe~"

"F*ck! You interrupted me just for that, are you serious?"

"Hehehe~"

Hearing Taufik's words, Ulf could only laugh awkwardly while stroking the back of his head.

Meanwhile, Taufik could only sigh, but he still took out a drink from his inventory and then ordered a crew member to pour it for everyone. He also brought out some snacks to accompany their night.

After seeing that everyone had a drink in their hands, Taufik finally started his story, and this time, because everything was served, Taufik finally started telling his story, but before he could even say a word, Aksara, who was sleeping on his lap, suddenly groaned.

"... Ugh~ Papa, Is it morning already, why is it so noisy?"

"..."

"..."

Taufik didn't know what else to say, and because this time it was his own son who interrupted him, Taufik couldn't get angry or anything.

Seeing Taufik like this, the crew, including Marzuki, chuckled.

"... Oh, Are we too noisy? It's okay, it's not morning yet, you can go back to sleep"

"...Okay"

Aksara said in a sleepy voice, then hugged Lembuswana tightly who could only surrender, then fell back asleep.

After Aksara fell back asleep, Taufik then looked around and saw the crew also looking at him.

"... Alright, let's start... Where was I just now?"

Taufik asked, which then invited laughter from everyone.

"Ahahaha~ Man, You haven't even said a word"

"... Oh... Then..."

After that, Taufik told everyone about what was in the future, and of course, in every aspect of the future that he told, it never ceased to amaze everyone.

And just like that, the night continued accompanied by Taufik's stories about the future.
