Going to Pasir Pangaraian

It Sunday. During dawn time it was raining so I cancelled to pray in Masjid Gunung Merah SAS (Sulit Air Sepakat). I did my dawn prayer in the hotel. At 06:15 we had breakfast in the dining room at the ground floor.

At 07:15 we went to Kimteng Coffee Shop to have coffee. I kept my word to meet Aznaidi there. He came in later. I passed souvenir batiks for him and Bona to him. As usual I ordered a plain coffee and baked bread with sarikaya jam.

At 09:00 we left Pekanbaru for Pasir Pangaraian. The trip was going smooth. At 13:00 we arrived there. We checked in at Putri Bungsu Lodge. We took a rest there.

After isha time we went to Alimuddin's house to join the traditional Batak proposal. Siregar family represented my family to propose marriage to a Harahap's girl. Some Harahap seniors joined the session. The Siregar dan Harahap talked using Batak language so I, Priyono, dan Sri could not follow the discussion. Amid the session, at 23:00 I, Priyono, and Sri asked to leave. Someone told us that the session would conclude at about 02:00 next day.
