Are there any of us who do not know Lake Toba? The largest lake in Indonesia even in Southeast Asia. Lake Toba is also the second largest lake in the world.
Lake Toba is a large natural lake in Indonesia located in the caldera of Mount Supervulkan. This lake has a length of 100 kilometers, a width of 30 kilometers, and a depth of 505 meters. This lake is located in the middle of the northern island of Sumatra with a surface height of about 900 meters. (Second knowledge yes we return to the story of Roma 😊)
It has been two days since Rome was in Parapat. There are several tourist attractions on the road. The most interesting thing about Rome is the legend of the hanging stone that hangs on the cliff wall on the edge of Lake Toba. (You know the story can be read on google yes)
The first day after arriving at Lake Toba. Rome chose a full day for a walk around the largest lake. He joined the other tourists. There are from various regions outside the city there are also foreign tourists.
After being tired of walking down Lake Toba, Roma and other tourists choose to stay at Tuktuk Siadong Village. The village area is right on the edge of a small promontory on Samosir Island.
The beautiful view of Lake Toba can also be enjoyed from there. After two days of traveling around, it is time for Roma to indulge himself in a hotel room all day without leaving his room.
Roma is looking for a tour guide who takes him around the hotel lobby. Because he usually waits for Rome there.
"Bang Ucok will accompany me to Tomok ya." he asked on a tour guide that took him around Lake Toba.
"Ready, what time is it? But it's better now, because at night there ain't no more ships there."
"OKAY. Wait a minute I'll get ready for you Bang." Roma went back to her room to change her clothes and put on a jacket to warm her body. The air of Tuktuk village is very cold especially when it is night.
After he finished changing his clothes, Roma went back to Ucok and prepared to go to Tomok.
"Are you ready?" ask Ucok.
"It's Bang."
"Okay we're kemon–."
Ucok and Roma walked to the port waiting for the ship that came from coming from Ajibata to tuktuk then destination to Tomok.
"Romaaa–." a voice called out to him as Roma wanted to step onto the ship.
Rome looked back to find the source of the voice but found no one.
"Is it just my feeling? I don't have any friends living here. Who called me? Maybe this is just my feeling."
"Let's wait what else?" Ucok extended his hand to help Rome get on the ship.
But when he wanted to welcome the helping hand of Ucok Roma again heard his name called.
"Romaa–." The voice was real heard in his ears. He stared intently at the man who was standing behind Rome.
Suddenly the tears of Rome poured down his cheeks. The voice that had just called him was so familiar to him. "Ga maybe it's Tommy Bang. Know where he'd be if I was here." His heart refused to look back but not with his body. He wiped away his tears and looked back.
Rome saw the man she so missed and who hurt her standing in front of her.
"Daddy, where are you going?"
Roma did not answer Tommy's question. He turned around and went straight into the ship with Ucok.
"Let's go inside."
"Sir, Roma–." Call Tommy but still Roma don't pay attention to him.
Tommy who had just arrived at the tuktuk finally had to take the ship back to follow where Rome went.
"Who's Rom?" ask Ucok.
"Ga knows Bang." answered Rome.
"But he's following you."
"Let's go, wrong people bang."
"Don't want to be bonyok-bonyok for being beaten by people."
"Any calm thing. This free Roman chick has no guy let alone husband. Still single and ting ting. Hehe."
And Rome laughed. Ucok so happy to get a tourist like Rome. Besides good Rome is also jolly people. Yes although not outsiders in Rome still called tourists or travelers. Roma people are always cheerful but different today his brilliance disappeared after the arrival of Tommy.. Rome seemed to be covering something else from him.
"It's not my business to take care of his personal matters, Rome is just a guest that I'm responsible for right now." Ucok asserted his heart not to interfere in the personal affairs of his guests.
Tommy could only see the familiarity of Roma and Ucok from afar. Tommy was very limp, when it crossed to Tuktuk Siadong himself had twice vomited. Because Tommy's drunk with sea water. Lake Toba was like sea water to him. It makes him sick and vomit.
Tommy had no energy to argue with Roma. He sat back outside the ship to relieve his nausea. But still he felt nauseous.
"Rom, you know you know him. Better meet him. He seems seasick. You saw his face was very pale." Ucok persuaded Rome.
"Does anyone have wind oil?" Ask a woman who was screaming at the passengers sitting around her.
"What's wrong?" ask the middle-aged woman over there.
"It looks like he's seasick. His face was pale." said the woman.
"Wear this." The middle-aged woman gave her eucalyptus oil.
Ucok pulled Roma's hand to see what was going on outside. And how surprised he was, when he saw Tommy's head was in the woman's lap.
The woman applied wind oil on her forehead.
"Can we pull over? I'm not strong anymore" Tommy told the woman.
"I'm sorry I can't. After all this is not our personal ship" said the woman, massaging Tommy's head.
Rome who witnessed it could only shed her tears to endure the pain in her heart.
Tommy wakes up from his sleep and walks to the edge of the ship regurgitating his entrails. The woman again helped him massage his head back.
"Do you want to be quiet?" ask Ucok. "From your gaze that sees it I already know that you know the man."
Rome wiped away his tears, without responding to Ucok's words, Rome immediately walked towards Tommy.
"Excuse me, may I check his condition?" roma said to the woman who was pinning Tommy's head.
"You who? What do you know about the seasick condition? I'm a doctor so I understand more about the condition of people who are seasick." The woman seemed unhappy with the presence of Roma there.
"Oh yes–, thank goodness there is already the right doctor to handle it. I'm sorry–."
"Dek–." Roma wanted to put their feet away from Tommy and the woman. But his hand was held by Tommy.
"You know him?" The woman looked surprised and upset.
"He's my fiancee. Thanks for the help. He didn't know that I was seasick again he said he wanted to go for a walk for a while" he said of course lying.
"Damn, it turns out that this guy already has a fiancee. Kirain is still single." Inner woman it is.
"Oh, sorry." The woman left Tommy and Roma and returned to her seat and continued to look at Tommy and Roma who were sitting on the side of the ship.
Roma held Tommy's wrist. He had studied acupressure techniques to relieve nausea and vomiting. Then press the Neiguan point of pressure. The way to find the Neiguan point is very easy just to put three fingers (index, middle, sweet) across the wrist. After that, place your thumb just below your index finger, then press it for three minutes to relieve nausea and vomiting.
All the movements that Rome made were noticed by the woman.
"Who is he really? How did he know that technique?" The woman who confessed to the doctor.
"Why do you want to shut up on the deck?"
"Where is nausea?" ask Roma without answering any questions from Tommy before.
"Yes, it's light." After just three minutes Roma let go of Tommy's hand. Then straighten out his seat. And inadvertently their neutrals clash with the woman who claims the doctor.
"Dek–." Roma remained silent and focused on his gaze.
The woman did not accept being stared at cynically by Rome. He stood up and approached Rome.
"Who are you really? How do you know that acupressure technique?" the woman's voice slightly raised, so the people sitting around her stared at them.
"He may be the same as you" said Ucok who was silent from earlier. But he did not accept that his guests were humiliated by others.
"Don't Ito know who he is?" ask the woman cynically.
"He was my guest. He's a traveler from Jakarta, and I'm sure he's a well-known specialist in Jakarta."
"Bang Ucok–, you don't need to tell me who I really am" Roma said half-whispering but Tommy could still hear him.
"What's? Is he a doctor too? he deserved to know that technique. Why can I forget yes. Otherwise I could've helped that guy." Inner woman it is.
"Who is that man, why does he look so familiar with Rome?" Inner Haidar
Embarrassed, the woman leaves Tommy and Roma.
