Kalila who was tired of babbling on her own, then took a cell phone, then sent a message to her best friend.
“Bang Dim, busy not? Lila again sad.”
Meanwhile, a man in Bogor City, was preparing to meet his friends. As usual, every weekend, Dimas always gathers with his playmates.
However, the man immediately canceled his show instantly. Returning to take off the jacket and shoes she had been wearing, Dimas sat on the balcony of her room. Make a video call to the sender of a message— my future teacher.
“Kok still beautiful?” tanya Dimas, once on her cellphone looks Kalila's face. The girl continued to listen to Dimas' words.
“Sadly why would my future labourer?” ask Dimas gently. Kalila also told what she was going through and she felt now. The girl even shed tears. Anxiety and sadness mixed into one. Kalila vented all her emotions. The girl was used to telling Dimas anything.
Comfortable. Maybe that's what Kalila felt when she told Dimas.
“Maybe, Bang Alid wants to surprise you Kalila.”
“Surprise?!” pekik Kalila's. “True Bang. I was really surprised to the point of not being able to say anything!” sans annoyance. Dimas smiled thinly. He knew once if the girl who is now plastered on the screen of his phone, really feel disappointed with his family and friends.
“I know you're disappointed Kalila. But Bang Alid is your beloved brother, isn't he? Feni is also your best friend. Maybe they want to give you a sweet surprise. They also must not have expected your reaction like that, Lila,” explained Dimas. Kalila snorted in annoyance.
Sweet surprise?
Just be right! Kalila actually felt that she was not considered at all. Feel excluded.
You can imagine, being the only family member who does not know about the engagement of your own brother. Especially the engagement of Kalila's eldest brother, with his best friend. Friends who have always shared their sorrows since they were 12 years old.
“It's not at all sweet, Bang!”
Dimas smiled. The man nodded his head. “I know Kalila. I know what it's like. I know I don't think you should have done everything.”
Kalila. Just this time he saw Dimas speaking with an expression as serious as this. Dimas' smile grew wider, as he watched Kalila stunned on his phone screen. “Are you not curious, with the life story of the grandson who is not too expected to have a presence in the Adi Putra family, Kalila?”
An unexpected grandson?
Kalila was stunned. Monologue with himself. Kalila was filled with question marks. The question from Dimas made him curious. Is it possible that Dimas was that unregarded grandson? What is the weight of being the grandson of the heir to the Adi Putra clan?
It turned out that the problem I was facing was nothing compared to Bang Dimas. Is that your life, Bang? Not considered since birth?
“You're curious not?” ask Dimas. Still with a smile growing. Kalila nodded quickly. The ever-enthusiastic girl was, of course, very curious. However, Kalila did not dare to ask such a sensitive matter to Dimas.
If he feels disappointed because it is not considered about the engagement of the eldest brother, is not it more painful, when your presence in the world alone is not expected? As Dimas said earlier— grandson who was not expected his presence.
“Later. I'll tell you later, Kalila.”
“Later? When?”
“When your degree has changed.”
Kalila's forehead is wrinkled. Confused by Dimas's words. What title does the man mean.
“Degree? What degree is Bang Dim? What is the wait for the title Alm. (Deceased) stuck in my name?!” ketus Kalila's. Dimas, of course, was open to hearing the girl's curse.
“Don't die first, Kalila. We are not married yet,” said the man while widened. Kalila even pursed her lips. Dimas could really make his mood change. The guy's always fun even if it sucks.
“Explain first what degree?!”
Dimas is getting worse. If Kalila was in front of him, of course, his cheeks that bulged because of the frown, had been exhausted by Dimas' fingers. The man will definitely pinch Kalila's two cheeks.
“Sorry Kalila— my best friend, my future teacher,” said Dimas softly. The man actually managed to hold back his laughter, although his stomach was still slightly tingled— amused.
“I'll tell you all about me. Later when your title as a candidate for my mother, has changed to my mother,” continued Dimas. The man's face was so sparkling as he said it.
Kalila ... The girl was silent. Trying to digest every word Dimas said. Change the title, from the candidate to the master. Doesn't that mean after she's legitimately the wife of Dimas?
It took Kalila three seconds to digest it. The girl then laughed out loud. “That means Bang Dimas will never tell me that!” sulkan Kalila later. While Dimas laughed a little at it.
“Tau no, why not?” ask Kalila. With a gentle smile that continued to expand, Dimas shook his head. Kalila chuckles softly, “because I will be her cousin-in-law Bang Dim,” Kalila said later.
Dimas fell silent and stared intently at Kalila, making the girl again chuckle. “Lantas, why don't you just take a walk with my cousin. Why even be alone in a hotel room and contact me!”
“Because Brother's cousin is just as annoying! He didn't tell me about it either!” Dimas chuckled again.
It's always like that. Dimas can always make Kalila's mood better. Kalila never felt disappointed if she contacted Dimas when her mood was bad. The man could always make him chuckle until he forgot his problem.
Nearly an hour of video calls took place. Even Kalila circled the hotel while showing the beauty of Lake Toba to Dimas, through his cellphone screen.
“Later, when I vacation there, will you take me to visit Lake Toba, Kalila?”
“Of course Bang Dim! We're touring. How?!” kalila was enthusiastic. Dimas nodded enthusiastically as well.

Meanwhile, still on Samosir Island, Khalid brought Ibrahim to Tomok Village. There Khalid invited Ibrahim to visit the Stone Tombs of the Kings of Sidabutar.
The tomb of Batu Sidabutar is only about 2 Km from their inn. Along the way to the tomb, there are hundreds of stalls selling various Samosir specialties. There are bracelets, jerseys, negligee, to various ulos or woven cloth typical Batak tribe. Motives vary. All lined up neatly, hanging. Tempting anyone who passes by.
And the face of the tomb area immediately poked when the row of tourist markets was exhausted. There is a stone wall about 3 meters around the cemetery. The color of the walls looks black. Some parts are full of moss. It feels right that it is as old as history.
The cemetery was about 10 x 10 meters. It's a rectangle. But not perfect. There are two gates that are located opposite each other.
There is a belief, visitors who enter through one door must go home through another door.
To enter the tomb, every visitor must wear ulos cloth provided by the tomb guard at the gate. There are no special rules for wearing them. Simply inserted on the shoulder, visitors can go directly in.
That day, the atmosphere was crowded. Full visitor. They sat facing the tomb. While preparing to listen to the history of the tomb inhabitants. There was a guide who told the story.
A total of 13 tombs filled the complex. They are arranged on two lines. The first row contains seven tombs. In the second row there are six tombs that are relatively the same size.
Rock tombs in Samosir Regency are not just tetenger and tourist attractions. The tomb of Sidabutar Stone is a relic of the megalithic period which is rich in historical value. Ibrahim again enjoyed the historical tour in front of him. Taking a few portraits of the old tomb, Ibrahim smiled with satisfaction.
