Disturbances on the way

Dino goes to town on his butut bike, the bike he used to go hunting.

The bike was delivered by Wendi to Dino's house when Dino disappeared in the woods.

Dino wanted to try to find a new job, he already did not want to go hunting anymore.

Mira supports Dino's desire to try to find work in the city.

Dino feels his body is healthy, he does not want to depend his life on Mira's business making and selling cakes.

Dino felt he had to take responsibility for his wife.

Although Dino has not been able to remember all his past with Mira, but at least he has returned to his wife.

His mother once offered him to help work in the store, from Dino wanted to leave Mira.but that of course Dino refused.

From Mira's story, and also confirmed by Susi, Dino became aware of Dino and Mira's relationship was not sanctioned by Dino's parents.

Dino also sees for himself, when he returns from the forest and forgets Mira, there is not the slightest attempt from his parents to tell Mira or attempt to unite them.

From there Dino knew, Dino's parents, especially her mother, did not like Mira.

Fortunately Mira wants to be patient with Dino who lost some of her memory by helping to tell a lot of their past.

Dino arrives at a restaurant, where he sees a job posting.

Dino stopped to read it.

Dino smiled, he felt he could propose there.

Dino then parked the bike, then went inside.

There was a pair of middle-aged men and women who were busy cleaning the room.

"Good morning..," said Dino.

"Morning.sorry den...Aden wants to eat? we're not ready yet, '" answered the woman.

"Mom..no Ma'am..I want to find a job.in front of me see there is a job posting," replied Dino rather nervous.

"Oh...that is..iya we are looking for people who can help us here...we lack people...Is Aden interested?" ask the woman.

"Yes.I want to..," replied Dino looking pleased.

" We sit there first.we talk about the job and also the salary," the woman asked.

Then they sit facing.

"Whose name is Aden? I'm Ratih.call me Mrs Ratih.and that's my husband Ilham.we're an old couple of married owners of this restaurant," Mrs Ratih explained.

"My name is Dino" replied Dino.

"I'm like I've seen you.." - Mrs Ratih.

Dino frowned, a feeling he had never met with Mrs Ratih.

"Oh yeah I remember..You're the one who was in the news on TV right? the man who went missing in the forest while hunting" said Mrs Ratih.

"I was once lost in the woods, but did I really get on TV?" dino asked astonished, Mira did not mention this to him.

"Yes means right..have you come back?" Mrs Ratih asked back.

"Yes I just came back.it's just that some of my memories are missing.so don't ask me how I came back and what happened back then," Dino replied laughing.

Bu Ratih's friendly attitude makes Dino feel comfortable, he can have a long chat like he has known each other for a long time.

Mr. Ilham came closer to hear his wife who was engrossed in talking about Dino.

Mr. Ilham looked at Dino's face.

"Yes, yes, the mother's memory is sharp as well" laughed Mr. Ilham.

Madam Ratih chuckled...

"Back to the talk, your work here help us all...Serving customers, sweeping, mopping, washing dishes...do you want?" ask Mrs Ratih.

"We are both cooking tasks.we are sometimes overwhelmed if the customer is a lot," added Mr. Ratih again.

"And another salary is adjusted to the many or not of our restaurant, if it is quiet we will still pay your monthly salary...if many will we increase the salary..how?" ask Mrs Ratih.

"It doesn't matter, ma'am, I want to" he replied happily.

"And the other one you can have breakfast and lunch here," Bu Ratih smiled.

"Well Mom, when do I get to work?" tanya Dino was excited.

"Well Mom, can I borrow a phone to send a message to my wife? let him know I'm working today" Dino said.

Time in the forest Dino's cell phone is gone, and until now he has not replaced it because he does not want to use Mira's money.

"Of course you can," Mrs Ratih handed over her phone.

Dino then sent a message to Mira which contained him immediately working today in a restaurant.

Mira who received a message from Dino, of course, was happy because her husband had gotten a job.

"Thank you Ma'am," Dino returned Bu Ratih's phone.

Dino then started to work, he swept and mopped and then wiped the table and bench that was there.

By noon, the restaurant had started to get crowded, Dino recorded their order and gave it to Mr. Ratih and Mr. Ilham who were in charge of cooking.

Once the cuisine is ready, Dino goes back and forth to deliver the order to the customer's table.

Not feel busy working, the day is already late afternoon and the restaurant is about to close.

Dino wiped the table clean, and then he prepared to go home.

Dino then went home...

"Be careful on Dino's path" said Mr. Ratih and Mr. Ilham.

Dino nodded, then started running his bike back home.

The distance from the city to Dino's house is not so far it only takes half an hour on his motorcycle.

Dino today felt happy because he could immediately get a job, besides that the husband and wife of the owner of the restaurant was nice to him.

Arriving at the border between the town and the village where Dino lives, Dino's motorbike suddenly breaks down.

Dino tried repeatedly to turn on his bike but to no avail.

There the road looks quiet, because it has tried to clean the spark plugs and turn on the motor repeatedly but unsuccessfully finally Dino decided to push the bike.

It was getting dark, Mira would be worried if she was late to go home.

Dino pushed his motorbike, suddenly he felt a gust of wind hitting his nape.

Dino was goosebumps, he looked back but saw nothing.

Dino quickened his pace, in front of him he saw a faint white shadow passing by.

Dino blinked his eyes, maybe he saw it wrong.

The white shadow was no longer there, but Dino felt the bike became very heavy.

Dino kept his pace fast, he wanted to get home soon.

The strength is a lot drained, the longer the heavier.

"Something's bothering me" Dino murmured inwardly.

Dino read the prayers, after that the motor did not feel heavy anymore.

Behind the voice of a woman's laughter.

"Hi...hi...hi.

Dino looked back, he saw a woman wearing long white clothes that covered her eyes.

The woman waved her hand.

The woman's face is invisible because it is covered by long hair that covers her face up to the chest.

"Devil girl..." Dino shuddered.

Dino's fur immediately brushed, with half a run he pushed his motorcycle.

Fortunately the bike was not as heavy as before, so he could quickly leave the place.

"Hi.hi.hi." the woman's laughter moved further back.

Dino village has begun to look, he tried to turn on the motor again.

And...

"Brum....Brum...," the motor can light up.

Dino immediately got on his motorbike and darted towards his house, his heart still beating fast...
