At dinner, Alan recounts his suspicions in a more distant area of the forest.
"What exactly did you see?" ask Nastiti impatiently.
"Hemmm, a kind of bright light emitted into the sky. Just a minute, after that it's gone."
"The light that was emitted into the sky huh? What is a laser pointer? That's a hloo, who likes to be in the festive year." Ask Michael.
"Laser pointer is a small beam but extends into the sky. What I saw was more like the light of a lighthouse, but it wasn't directed to the sea." Alan was trying to describe what he saw that evening.
"Finish your dinner, and then we'll wait upstairs. I think if the night is dark, then the light will be more clearly visible." Dean's Proposal.
"Okay," Alan replied quickly.
"Are you sure it's the light from the middle of the forest? Not the afternoon sun on the beach?" Widuri was doubtful.
"Eitherway. I only see for a second." Said Alan.
"Yes already. You guys try to check it out tonight. It might be the way to another world. Or something else. It seems that the world is not as simple as it seems." Marianne.
"You mean?" Ask Nastiti.
"Well, starting from the moment I was kidnapped it was weird. The sea on the shore is salty, but here it feels fresh. Not to mention about the Chief of the city, Yoshi and Duke who were even hundreds to thousands of years old. I don't think it's just that they have healing science or strong immunity. But there is indeed something in this world that can make its inhabitants live a long life." Marianne Papar.
"Then the color of the transparent blood glittered. How magical. If in modern times they get sick and need a blood transfusion, who can be the donor?" Michael chuckles.
"That will stir up the world of medicine and research." Continue Nastiti smiling.
Dean's done eating. He stepped into the room to check on Sunil.
"How's he?" Widuri's following Dean.
"There hasn't been a change."
Dean felt helpless, because absolutely no one understood the medical science in that place.
"Patience. His physical condition has improved. So I guess, maybe O's soul is having a breakdown. Or maybe he's in hibernation?" Widuri originally guessed.
"You think we're a nation living in a frozen area? A kind of bear? You should be given a little knowledge."
"It's not like that..." Widuri can no longer finish her sentence.
Dean hugged Widuri with anxiety. The melodious groans cradled their dreams for a moment. Adding a warm spark to each other's hearts.
Dean took off Widuri and smiled affectionately. Widuri looked at him affectionately.
"Do you want to marry me?"
The question was so sudden. Widuri didn't expect Dean to propose so soon. So he was silent like a statue. His mouth was open and his eyes were twitching in confusion.
"Did I surprise you?" Dean asked softly. Back hugged the body that is too slim.
"Yes, you surprised me." Answer Widuri with a small voice.
"What's your answer then?" Dean touched the tip of Widuri's nose with his index finger.
"We can get married after returning to Indonesia. I want my mom and dad to see me happy again."
Widuri lowered her head, avoiding Dean's mischievous finger that kept touching the tip of her nose.
Dean was silent for a moment. His expression was illegible.
"Well, if that's what you want. We'll get married once we get back." Widuri looked at him deeply.
Pink flowers bloomed that night. Beauty in the light of the moon and stars.
"Dean, so go or not?"
Alan's shout outside shocked the two people who were drowning in his own world. Widuri pushed Dean's body away. Face blushing.
"Go away" he said without looking.
"Okay, I go check first. You rest." Dean kissed Widuri's forehead for a moment before standing up and exiting.
"Let's go." Dean told Alan.
At the cottage, Michael finally stood guard with Nastiti.
*
"Could there be a period of time for its rays to appear?" Alan.
"That's possible. But now we have to go back. Michael must have been standing guard alone. Someone has to replace him." Dean said firmly.
"alright. Tomorrow there's no need to check both, take turns." Alan's Proposal.
"We'll think about it tomorrow again."
Dean flew towards their cabin. They both need a break to refresh their energy.

2 carriages and several horses stopped at the edge of the forest. Robert's entourage and the blue dwarf clan's bodyguards chose to rest that night.
"Is the beach far away?" ask Robert to their chief of guards.
"No sir. Tomorrow we have to go through this forest, then through the meadow. After that we will start to find a small village. It's not far from the beach." replied the chief of the guards.
"Astimulating it's still midday?" Robert asked convincingly.
"Around noon. Hopefully there are no significant obstacles." hope the head of the guard.
"alright. We better get some rest." Robert ended their conversation.

At daybreak, the group had already begun to improve. Someone is just preparing breakfast. The night passed safely. Only the sounds of the approaching night animals often make them surprised and alert.
"It's time we went on our way to arrive on time." I heard a warning from the chief of the guards.
Everyone takes care of their individual needs. The horse is also fresh, well fed and rested.
Team member Robert re-entered each horse carriage. While the guards were riding horses on the right left side of each carriage.
The motorcade continued its journey. They follow the path to enter the forest. The road is not good enough. Carrying a car is not as easy as riding a horse. The car was stumbling on a winding and uneven road.
"Some way. Afraid the wheels are stuck in the mud." Silvia.
"As long as the coachman knows this path and takes it with care, I think it'll be fine." The word Baras calms.
The sun was already high as the dark shadows of the trees began to diminish. Up ahead lies a meadow on the descending plane. But the streets turned out to be much worse in this part. Already several times the carriage mired and difficulty pulled horses. Until finally the connection of the wheel broke and made the passenger room fall to the ground. Robert, Chandra, Indra, Liam and Leon are forced to continue on foot in the women's carriage. Occasionally they help push if the horse has trouble pulling the wagon.
But the difficulty ended jg after seeing a simple but beautiful settlement, typical of villages in the village. Most of the houses only look tiny doors and windows. While the other part of the house is inside the cliff wall. The house was regularly standing on the side of the road. While the other side is a small garden planted with various vegetables and flowers as wide as 4 meters before installing a wooden fence as a barrier to the edge of the cliff.
The small village's Jananan was stronger at holding the wheels of the carriage because they were on a rocky cliff. They rest for a while in a tiny restaurant with a mushroom roof. Laras, Niken and Silvia were amazed to see the little humans with skin and blue eyes moving very agile to serve their food orders.
"It appears that our estimated time missed far" Dr Chandra said.
"Yes. Unexpectedly the road conditions were very heavy." Indra Sahut.
"But thank goodness we got through it. The beach isn't far away." Said Robert.
"Master, I've spoken to the village chief, they say the train can't be taken that way. So we've borrowed the horses to get there." Said the chief of the guards.
"It's okay. We can ride." Robert quickly.
"Good."
The head of the bodyguard gave some instructions to his entourage. Some horses were carried by the village officers. It was the horses for them to use. Robert looked unblinkingly. These horses were even smaller than the horses the guards wore. While their horses left behind at Glenn's place were much bigger.
"Sorry, is the horse strong enough to take us there?" Ask Robert the chief of the guards.
The bodyguard leader finally realized that Robert's team's posture was different from theirs. Maybe that's why their chariot wasn't strong and broke in the meadow.
The barrel is required to try the horse ride provided. He looks funny and adorable. Both of his feet were touching the ground. It looked like riding a bicycle.
Robert spoke to the chief of the bodyguards again. They discussed some things. While the women are enthusiastic to try the cute horses.
"Ah, cute horse. Your burden of life is so heavy it must carry these women." Liam said ignorant.
Leon and Indra laughed loudly. But it was not Silvia who felt insinuated.
"You want to say I'm fat? And I don't think there's a horse here that can take you to the beach. Because you're the hardest." Reply Silvia sharply.
The others laughed again to see the two men poked each other. Robert returned with the chief of the guards. It was decided to continue walking down the cliff. But the horses of the guards would be used by the women if they were exhausted.
"Good, prepare each one. We'll leave soon enough to reach the fishing village before dark." Robert's words are words. The team members then tidy up the backpacks and held them on their backs. They were ready to continue their journey down that beautiful hill.
