Pariban So Rokkap

LAKE TOBA

“Alright, I will wait for you, marry your Pariban and come back to me,” Micah hugged this body , gave me permission to marry.

Back home to welcome the scolding from all the families. It's only natural why not? when they were busy preparing all the preparations for our plan to go home, I was lying around, got a nagging from the family today, I received with a chest of air.

Several large suitcases had lined up neatly, all of them preparing, including my luggage.

“Bang, try to see, there are less items that you want to bring?” As usual Arnita my youngest sister will be busy taking care of everything, she will act beyond her age, he said, he writes whatever items will be brought home and he will mark the items that already exist.

“Iya later,"Iujarku, go back to the room, choose to lay down the body in the bed rather than obey the order to clean up the items that will be brought to the village.

The sun began to smile brightly welcoming the morning, the clouds were neatly arranged, indicating the night had changed to morning.

“Good morning to the world," I said folding my hands to my chest.

Finally, today also arrived, I will return to the village to get married, departed with prayers and advice from a large family, home accompanied by several families who accompanied to return to the village.

Now we were in the belly of an iron bird that was ready to take us to Samosir to the Holta Dolok Martahan. The residence of Nettania woman whom I will marry later. Pariban is the family match for me. A village girl who still stinks just finished High School.

His age may be 18 years or 19 so the age of the woman I will marry later, how the shape and form of his Mami has given his photo, in my mind he is just a cute girl.

Somehow we will live a household, my age is already well established in a match with my small Pariban with a very far age difference. It's like a son and father.

From Halim Perdana Kusuma departure destination Silangit Siborong airport with a distance of approximately 2 hours more. As per the schedule of our group arrived also at Silangit Airport, greeted by the beauty of the natural charm that is so beautiful, the nature is still beautiful with a stretch of pine trees growing as far as the eye can see.

A little about the pride of the Batak Airport.

The airport was inaugurated by Mr. SBY in 2005. Then by Mr. Joko Widodo the airport was repaired and enlarged the runway, previously only 2,650 meters was enlarged to 3000 meters.

Then in November 2017 the father of President Joko widodo inaugurated Silangit Airport. One of the government's wishes to advance the tourism of Lake Toba to be easily reached.

Lake Toba is indeed very beautiful, anyone who has visited Lake Toba Samosir will not forget the beauty of the Lake and the expanse of pine and its natural beauty.

At present, at Silangit Airport our group will cross Lake Toba, a lake that is also known as the legend story.

Because according to myth or folklore formed the lake because the story of Toba and Fish Mas, and there is no way I tell the story on the way, can be long story.

Just get back on the trip.

But we chose to take a boat from Parapat –Ajibata because more ships, it could have been directly from Muara because it crossed once, but we chose a slightly longer route. But because we want to see this beautiful lake more, then we choose from parapat.

Choosing a ship as a means of transportation, in order to enjoy the beauty of God's creation and the wonders of nature.

Boat ride with name“Dainang Na Burju” name written in the ship's barn. Maybe the writing on the ship we boarded has its own meaning for those who have ships. Dainang Na Burju: A good mother.

The sound of the gunned ship covered the hearing and began to go down the water of Lake Toba. The lake surrounded by mountains complete with a stretch of pine trees. The mountain is on the right side and the left side, and at the foot of the beautiful mountain there are some beautiful house stands adding to the beauty of the edge of the Lake.

The ship is increasingly speeding up swimming freely down the water of the Lake. My eyes were fixed on a legendary stone, the name of the Hanging stone, and suddenly my hair was goosebumps, when I saw the stone whose shape had indeed begun to fade but the story was never lost.

The legend of the Hanging Stone is the story of matchmaking on his Pariban as well.

Telling, it is said .. A Batak woman or Boru Batak who was forcibly married to her Pariban.

He did not like his pariban. Her daughter refused to marry her Pariban. In the end he chose to end his life by jumping from the edge of Lake Toba with his dog, and his hair stuck on the edge of the cliff and became stone.

The story of the Hanging Rock that we can meet until now, if we go to Lake Toba. The shape of the stone that we can see resembles a woman who jumps and her hair is on the edge of the abyss. When I saw it the shape of the stone was not so clear anymore indeed, because it had begun to erode water.

Seeing her remind me of myself at this moment, I turned the story around to myself, what if I refused to marry my pariban and I jumped off the top of that high cliff. Is there a second version of the male Hanging Stone story?

I smiled faintly laughing at his shady thoughts.

I deliberately sat on the top bench so that I could see clearly the view, the wind was blowing hard, the ship was swaying slightly to the right and to the left.

I really enjoyed it, but my aunt was scared.

“Nathan, let's go down we sit down just below,” said auntie, pulling my hand a little forcefully, her face looking very scared. “ You bride-to-be Bou is afraid you will see the inhabitants of Lake Toba,” said my aunt .

I know about it and I think about it myself, because Lake Toba has already taken a lot of lives. I haven't even forgotten it in my recent memory. The story of KM Sinar Bangun motorcycle ship that was submerged in Lake Toba. Many souls are buried in this lake.

Behind the beauty of Danaunya, he also keeps many mystical stories that make the fur of the nose goosebumps. The vast lake, even the largest lake in Indonesia or the largest lake also in Southeast Asia.

So my message, if you come to this beautiful Lake for a vacation and excursion then be polite and carefree to pollute this beautiful Lake with garbage and dirty and fun deeds.

Seriate.
