Three days had passed Mely's attitude grew colder to Rival. Plus he's still jealous of his ex-wife Rival. He was also very busy, in order to quickly trial and get a bachelor's degree.
He must change for the better, and must be able to make his own money. Because his father had given all his property to Rival. Mely felt her position was very threatened at this moment.
Treasure given to Rival, Rival's heart could not be obtained yet. He hates himself so much, who likes Rival and finds out that Rival still can't forget his ex-wife.
For three nights they slept in bed. But there really is no communication. Mely often comes home late at night, If asked by Father and Mother the answer is only one, busy working on the thesis. While Rival really had no communication with his wife.
When Mely came home, Rival was asleep. Even though it was once a night, Rival pretended to sleep when Mely entered the room. Rival was eager to get his wife to speak from heart to heart. But he's afraid of a fight, so Mely's parents will find out.
Mr. Ali and his wife who saw there was a strange gelagat both. So they decided to reconcile the couple.
It just so happened that today Mely quickly went home and they were having dinner in silence.
Mely has changed so much in these three days. He was more silent and looked more mature. It seemed like her Mama's words three days ago made her slightly aware. That he could only slander his father's money and could not be relied upon.
His mother's words were like a loud slap to him. So that He intends to change, and hopefully with this change Rival can like it. Mely really misses her husband. She longed to seduce and seduce her husband. But, somehow he refused to start.
"eehmm... Tomorrow we're going on vacation to Lake Toba." Said Mr. Ali, looking at his wife and children in turn. Surely he winked one of his eyes at his wife. So that his wife can convince Rival and Mely to want to take a vacation to Lake Toba.
"Dear, Mama was happy to hear it. This is the perfect moment for Rival and Mely on their honeymoon." Mama Mely looked so happy, her smiling face looked towards Mely and Rival.
Mely was made to choke, because she heard they were going on their honeymoon. Rival immediately handed the glass filled with water to his wife. Which was indeed coincidentally Rival was sitting next to Mely. With a thumping feeling, Mely gulped water from the glass that Rival had thrust into her mouth.
"Other times be careful, if the rice goes into the respiratory tract is a danger." Rival said softly, He lun stroked Mely's back gently. Which makes Mely wrong. I don't know if she could only ignore her husband for three days.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer with bowed. He resumed his eating. Only Mely had not finished eating. Suddenly the mood was quiet. Rival is actually very happy, invited vacation to Lake Toba. Because for a lifetime, only once did He go to the second largest lake in the world.
First time to Lake Toba, when He was third grade Junior High. There's a picnic, after graduation. He dived every night and in the river to get the fish, to sell and he saved it. Because he couldn't possibly ask for the farewell class picnics to his parents at that time.
Not noticeably, Rival's eyes glazed over. He remembered his life journey so hard. Although he had once migrated to the land of Arabia. He loved Lake Toba. The story is often read in his simple school library.
"What's up, son?" asked Pak Ali worriedly, because he saw the look on Rival's sad face.
"It's okay Dad." Answer with a smile. He looked up, so that his tears would not fall.
"Aahhhkk. We're going on holiday abroad, Dad. As I recall we've had almost a year of no vacation outside Scary." Mely said, suddenly her mood improved, so she opened her voice. I don't know, what because Rival was paying attention to him while choking, so his mood warmed up.
"Autside the Country? I just came home from abroad. Bored of Going Abroad. In our country there are still many tourist attractions no less beautiful than those abroad." Said Mr. Ali.
"What do you think Rival? Would you agree to a vacation to Lake Toba?" Mr. Ali watched closely the look on his son's face that was misting it.
"I agree with our father to Lake Toba." Rival smiled trying to cover up his sadness.
Rival glanced at the pouting Mely. Why Mely does not agree to a vacation to Lake Toba. Though three days ago, Mely invited him to tear apart Lake Toba.
"Well, we have to leave in the morning. We go there and survey new businesses. I want to make a fish farm there." Mr. Ali seemed excited by his new business plan.
"In addition to the holiday we will also see the Lake Toba Festival. I really liked that euphoria. Where there will be displayed a variety of cultural customs, arts as well.
"Yes Dad, Rival really likes it. Rival also wanted to see the Sigale-gale statue that could jog it." Rival's face radiated happiness. He really likes regional art shows. Or a special place.
"Yes Nak, the festival held many traditional Batak cultural events. Like last year there was an event. Solu Bolon's.
"What's Solu Bolon Dad?" asked Rival enthusiastically.
"Solu Bolon is a boat. If the Chinese have a dragon boat, then the Batak have Solu Bolon. In the festival the team competed, a fast-paced match in the waters of Tuktuk, Lake Toba. The race to row the boat.
"In addition there is a Toba Batak Music performance. Later we can see firsthand the variety of traditional musical instruments typical of Batak people. For example, bamboo flute typical of Batak to Taganing, a typical drum of local residents. This musical instrument has an interesting history.
"Sigale-Gale Lake Toba. Like you said earlier Nak Rival.gi we can also see a typical wooden doll Batak, Sigale-gale. The Sigale-gale festival is a parade. Then we can also watch, the colossal Tor tor Sawan Dance. "
"If it's a dance I've never seen it Dad." Rival seemed enthusiastic about the events of Lake Toba Festival.
" Tor-Tor Sawan dance is usually performed with the accompaniment of Magondangi music in rituals related to the spirit. It is generally intended to cleanse man of sin. But, when else to see this dance colossally danced by 500 dancers if not during the festival? During the show, not a few cups fell and broke. Ulos is almost extinct. We can also see the anthrax weave the ulos cloth with many weavers lined up." Said Mr. Ali with excitement and enthusiasm. She did not expect her son to have the same taste. There is no doubt that Rival is his son.
Mely and her mother could only gawk at their husband who was so excited about discussing the Lake Toba Festival.
"But Dad, we will stay at the hotel on the island of tuk tuk aja huh? not on Samosir Island or Parapat. We're staying at the hotel near the lake, by the side." Mely.
"Yes on the shore of Lake Toba. Where is there lodging in the middle of the lake." Said his mother with a crisp laugh.
"I mean Mely Ma. We headed to Tuktuk Island. There is peace. Because it's not as crowded as Samosir and other islands." Obviously Mely.
"If it's too quiet, then we'll find it hard to find food."
"Duh Ma's. Every inn has its restaurant." Mely said with a smile.
"Keep us to the waterfall sipiso-piso too huh Dad. I'm going down to the bottom of the waterfall." He glanced at Rival. Rival glimpsed just smiled wryly. Don't let him go down to the bottom of the waterfall. Because his legs will definitely not be strong.
"On that, later set until we discuss." Said Mr. Ali. He also got up from his seat.
"Let's go in the room. Take care, tomorrow we'll leave." Said Mr. Ali.
"Yes Dad." Mama Mely then asked her maid to help her pack the items to be brought.
Mely also walked into her room which was followed by Rival.
