After bidding the price of the fare, he climbed the Betor.
susana sparkling night Medan city, is an interesting sight for her. He admired one of the Metropolitan cities in the country.the city of pride of North Sumatran citizens, because it is the capital of North Sumuatera province.
in this city there are several icons that are the source of the history of the citizens of Deli Malay, North Sumatra, namely Maimun Palace Medan.There is an interesting historical story, which is very interesting, where Maimun Palace Medan is also a witness to the legacy of the kingdom of the Malay sultan of Deli named Ma'moen Al Rasyid, in the past.
Toni intends to visit the palace, because he has long wanted to see Maimun Palace which is often talked about by many people, if visiting the city of Medan.
without feeling, Toni had entered the alley of the Rashid uncle's house complex. After reaching the front of the gate, Toni stopped the betor brother. after paying the fare, Toni stepped into the yard of Rashid's uncle's house. the house looks magnificent and luxurious.
When he came to the door, he knocked on the door.

[kring.kring.] sound of a connected phone call.
"hallo, what's the news?" said Rena across the phone softly. There is a tone like a person after crying.
"sister, open the door, I'm in front of Uncle Rashid's house" Toni explained.
"what the hell..?" said Rena panicked, He did not expect if his sister suddenly came without telling him first.
Toni deliberately kept her arrival a secret, to give a surprise to her brother.
the sound of footsteps approached the front door..
[kreeeek.] The sound of the door handle was pulled, it looked like Rena was on the doorstep, but her eyes looked puffy. Toni becomes suspicious, something is wrong with her brother.
Rena took Toni in, then closed the door and locked it. Rena headed to her room, followed by Toni.
"why so quiet, brother? where's everybody going?" toni was curious.
Rena entered her room, followed by Toni, and then Rena locked the door and sat down on the bed. Toni sits in a small diluted study chair that serves as a study table and bookshelf.
"uncle Rashid and aunt Marti out of town, in the city of Langkat, reviewing the construction of a new branch of Restaurant.while bang Nisar and kak ocha vacation to Singapore. aunt Aning visited her ailing father-in-law in the village, replied Rena at length.
"so brother's alone at home?" toni.
"always.." answered Rena.
Toni noticed Rena's face, her eyes were as moist as if she was crying. wanted to ask but the time was not right. He took out four boxes of jars that he had brought.
"sister, this is a gift from the mother. actually to be divided also for Aunt Aning, bang Nisar uncle Rashid.but because they are not home, yes take for all brothers." said Toni while handing over to the four boxes of the jar.
Rena grabbed it, put it on the study table. Uncovered one jar, picked up a piece of her mother's legit sandwich cake. He remembered his mother when they made a cake together.
" how's mom doing? " said Rena, his voice still sounds soft.like a person who withstood sadness, slightly stunned. without feeling his tears fall, smash his cheeks.
"Thank God, my mother asked me to visit my sister, so I came here." replied Toni gently.
the room is full of food, energy drinks, and so on.
then why is her brother so so skinny. Toni looks at every detail of Rena's physical condition.
Suddenly Rena remembered her best friend Amy. He wiped his tears and took his phone.
phone calls ringing..
"hallo, what's up, Ren?" amy's voice from across the phone.
"Mi, the road yuk. I want a vacation. coincidentally my sister also came." replied Rena.
"maybe, too, take a vacation.all take your sister on vacation.but where? said Amy.
"to Lake Toba yuk..?" said Rena.
"okay. I'll slide right away, get ready, yeah." said Amy enthusiastically.
Rena prepares for everything she will take on vacation, especially four boxes of cake jars from her mother.
Toni who is still dumbfounded by her brother's sudden plan, does not know how to.
"the three? trus I'm a guy myself? said Toni who is still bing. but he feels happy because he will vacation to the destination of pride of North Sumatra residents. Lake Toba.

Rena stops playing with her phone, comes down and asks to be photographed as well, with her own fose, both with Amy. Then Rena asks Amy to take a picture with Toni, if the person doesn't recognize them, thought Rena and Toni were lovers because Toni's body was taller and stockier.
