Roti Man’s Spooky Encounter
A spooky experience by a Roti Man’s while working on
his round.
I remember the by-gone days where the Roti Man comes
selling his wares in an old bicycle. His loaves of bread, buns and “kuih-kuih”
(Malaysian cakes) will be filled till over-flowing and stacked over his
bicycle. Housewives will gather their bread with their 555 book (credit) and
children will gather to buy tid-bits of all kinds. Also the “tikam” games of
the spin the wheels or the pull type – no
wonder the adults are addicted to gambling especially the Chinese.

Marimuthu was furiously pedaling to a place between
a residential cum illegal factory lot and he was running late. It was late in
the evening and it was getting dark but there was still some light. He had to
stop when he realize that the chain have come loose or unstuck between his bicycle
pedal. He parked at the roadside while trying to fix the problem with his chain
and pedal when he noticed that he was opposite an old plastic factory. Beside
the factory between the ‘lalang’ was a young woman (could not see the features
because it was dark) who seem to be waiting for somebody. He did not take any
interest as he tried to fix the chain on his bicycle.
