Halal Love of the Senior
Honeymoon 3

"Mas Adi, so would you like to bring a change of clothes?" adelia asked after they prayed at dawn in the hotel room.

"Bring it up, Ai. Who knows, we will get wet there later," Adi replied while opening the Quran application in his cave. "Najai yuk first, Ai," Adi asked his wife.

"Yes, Mum." Adelia took the device and opened the Quran app like her husband. They read and read each other's readings. Although Adelia's reading had not surfed her husband, but she was still eager to learn and read the Qur'an every day.

"Ai, what room would you like to have breakfast at the restaurant?" Adi folded the prayer rug he had been wearing after they had finished reading the Qur'an.

"To rest, Mas. From yesterday we ate in the room only, let there be another view" said Adelia.

"Okay, but we'll go back to the room again. We had breakfast with lots of stuff."

"Yes, it's nothing. All walks will see the atmosphere around here."

"Yes already. Ai, prepare a change of clothes, so later we can go immediately no need to be ready again."

"Yes, Mum." Adelia then prepares clothes for herself and her husband.

After breakfast, they have been picked up by Dedi with a mini bus.

"Good morning, Mr. Adi, Ms. Adelia," said Dedi kindly.

"Morning, Mr. Dedi. Today we can go to the same mangrove forest that was desert what Mr. Dedi said yesterday" said Adi.

"Can, Sir. We go to the Pasir Busung Desert first, so it will not be too hot" said Dedi.

"There's a desert here, sir?" ask Adelia.

"It's not a real desert like the one in Arabia anyway, ma'am. It used to be there former mining so leave sand dunes. There will also be a Blue Lake" replied Dedi.

"What's mine, sir?" Adi was curious.

"Bauxite sand mining, sir. But it was long stopped. Because abandoned for many years continues to be the same local community as a tourist spot," said Dedi.

"But there the sand has hardened, so it will not be difficult to walk. People usually like the photos there, sir, Mom," Dedi continued.

"Which Blue Lake is next to it, sir?"

"The Blue Lake is in the middle of the desert, ma'am. Actually Blue Lake is a basin of former mining area sand excavation. When it rains, the water fills the basin naturally and the Blue Lake forms, Mom."

Adi and Adelia nodded at Dedi's explanation.

After traveling for about 45 minutes, they finally arrived at the Pasir Busung Desert. A vast expanse of sand with a beautiful blue lake and green trees swept their gaze. Adi wore sunglasses and his hat before getting out of the car. So did Adelia, but she was wearing a wide round hat that the other day she bought when she went to the beach. Do not forget the selfie stick brought Adi for them to take pictures of the two later.

As soon as she set foot on the sand, Adelia was amazed. He was amazed to see the color of sand that was white brown, pink and even purple, unlike the sand in general which was brown to dark brown. Adi and Adelia took photos on the sand dune and some photo spots there. There are photo spots of ships, swings, even camels. Not to forget, they walked down a wooden bridge that stretched in the middle of a clear blue lake. They also took photos there.

After being satisfied to enjoy the scenery and also take pictures, they continued their next trip to the mangrove forest (mangrove). The time taken from the Pasir Busung Desert to the mangrove forest is about 20 minutes.

Once there, Adi and Adelia board a small boat to explore the silent and soothing mangrove forest. They can see a collection of wildlife such as snakes, monkeys, birds, lizards and others. They also saw fishermen who were working with traditional equipment. This mangrove forest is very important for the existence of Bintan Island because in addition to being a tourist spot, it is also a protection from seawater erosion.

After Zuhur salat, they had lunch with a spicy acid menu. Spicy acid is a typical Malay menu, which distinguishes it from others, namely its main ingredients using Sembilang fish. This fish is exactly the same shape as catfish, but the difference is that fish live in the sea and taste more savory and chewy.

The presentation of spicy acid arbitrarily quite evocative taste Adi and Adelia. The appearance of fish with a thick yellow sauce that is rich in spices, especially the sour and spicy taste that quite spoils their tongue.

"We'd be happy to eat this, Ai." Adi suddenly remembered his only puppet sister. Her sister who is pregnant likes spicy and sour dishes like this.

"Iya—ya, Mas. Unfortunately, we can't keep wrapping brought back to Jogja" Adelia said.

"Don't show off a photo of today's food huh, Ai. Poor Rendra later if Dita asked nyariin," Adi's message.

"Yes, Mum."

"If you ask, eat normally."

"Yes, Mas. Don't worry." Adelia stroked her husband's arm.

After eating and resting for a while, they headed to Treasure Bay Lagoi which is the largest swimming pool in Southeast Asia. The area of 6.3 hectares is equivalent to 50 swimming pools for the Olympics.

This swimming pool water is very clear and bluish in color, like crystal water. The edge of the pool is deliberately designed sloping like a beach view, sloping down to the middle. The bottom of the swimming pool uses white fiber that at first glance looks like sand. The original sand is placed on the outer edge of the pool untouched by water.

"Well cool, rich on the beach, yeah, Mas." Adelia looked at the amazed atmosphere there. He felt there was on the beach but without any waves surging.

"Yes. Ai, what do you want to play?" Adi embraces the shoulder of his wife who still feels stunned.

"Mas, I want to take a kayak boat. Kayanya. I've never been" Adelia told her husband.

"Okay, we're on a kayak boat." Adi takes Adelia to the kayak boat rental.

Before boarding the kayak boat, they wear a life jacket that has been provided by the tenant of the kayak boat. Today Adelia deliberately wears jeans with an abaya top along the thigh so that she is more free to move.

Adi climbed up at the front, then Adelia followed behind him. This boat is only for two people. They each carry a paddle. Adi gave his wife command to paddle together. They then went around the pool.

After taking a kayak boat, they went around taking the segway. The Segway is a futuristic vehicle designed for one person. The user simply rises above the footing and is free to move forward, backward, or turn with the controlling lever in front of him. Because not so proficient, Adi and Adelia use head and knee protection to minimize the risk of injury provided by the manager.

After that they took a tour on a boat to see the wealth of flora and fauna around it. Lastly, they rode the ATV both across the muddy ground. Adi and Adelia's clothes were both dirty with mud splashes. They then changed clothes before leaving Treasure Bay.

After changing clothes, they saw the sunset while enjoying dinner by the beach. Then they went back to the hotel to rest.

On the fourth day, the event was actually free from the travel agent, but they chose to tour Batam. Already arrived in Bintan, all of them visit Batam because of its close distance. After breakfast Dedi picks up Adi and Adelia. They went to Sri Bintan Pura Port to take a ferry to Batam.

Ferries to Batam depart every fifteen minutes. The time needed to arrive at Punggur Ferry Port in Batam is approximately 60 minutes. Their first destination was to Barelang Bridge which became an icon of Batam City.

Barelang is an acronym of Batam, Rempang, and Galang. The bridge connects the three islands. Because Batam is an area that has small islands around it. Adi and Adelia took pictures there like everyone else.

Our next stop was at Bukit Welcome to Batam. This writing became a Hollywood-style landmark located in Bukit Clara Batam Center. Welcome to Batam or Welcome to Batam is a greeting to welcome tourists who come to Batam because it can be seen from far away.

Before going up the hill, they took pictures below with the background writing Welcome to Batam. They then went up the hill. From there Adi and Adelia can see the view of Batam City.

Engku Putri Center Park Batam or known as Kota Batam Square became their next destination. Then they went to the Great Mosque of Batam which is not far from the square - to perform the prayers of Zuhr and Asar, all of them took a short rest.

"Good, Sir. But what if it's not rice, sir?"

"Safe, Sir. I'm not a big fan of hard-line rice, so without rice it's no problem" Adi said. "What do we eat, sir?" tanyanya.

"Mi tarempaulin, sir."

Adi nodded but he then asked Dedi. "What's the same as regular noodles, sir?"

"The spice is more and the sauce is thick, too" said Dedi.

"Don't matter if we eat noodles?" Adi looked at his wife.

"It's okay, Mum." Adelia smiled at her husband.

They deliberately came to the tavern after lunch so as not to be too full.

Mi tarempa comes from Tarempa, Anambas Regency, Riau Islands. Noodles made from flour and eggs are the shape and taste is not much different than noodles tarempaulin from the area of origin. The taste of sour tarempa noodles is sweet and slightly spicy on the tongue. Although the sauce is thick and greasy but feels light. The taste blends perfectly with the slightly chewy texture of the noodles. Topping seafood consisting of squid, shrimp, and fish meatballs makes noodles more delicious.

"Why did the food from yesterday remind me of the same Dita ya, Ai," murmured Adi.

"Mas Adi may again miss the same Dek Dita."

"It could be, Ai." Adi sighed.

"If you miss Dik Dita's phone, Mas," Adelia suggested.

"Yes, after we eat."

"Maybe Dita Dek is also kangen Mas Adi, but do not dare to contact us."

Somehow, from yesterday Adi felt the thoughts continue with his sister. Although he still enjoys his honeymoon, but every meal Dita favorite always makes him remember his only sister.

For four days they had not been in touch either by message or phone. Though usually every day they always exchange messages or phone for a while to just ask each other the news or chat unclear. Even though they lived next door, it was not every day that they met each other.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Dek," greeted Adi as Dita answered her phone call.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Mas Adi, I miss," said Dita from across the phone.

"Sama, Deck. Mas, also kangen. What else is it?"

"Again in this cafe, wait for Mas Rendra meeting with Mas Candra."

"Aren't you at the meeting, Dek?"

"No, Mas. I'm again in the bakery production room, same discussion baker."

"Bothering yes, means."

"Not bother. People have finished talking on the phone."

"Have you eaten, Deck?"

"Had been mated spaghetti and lasagna same hihi employees. Did you know Adel ate?"

"It has. It's just finished."

"Mas, when's the honeymoon?"

"God willing tomorrow at 5 pm until Jogja, Dek. Why?"

"I'm going to go get it."

Adi laughing. "Are Adek able to drive?"

"I learned to drive yesterday with Mas Rendra. But you dare not take it on the road."

"Good then. Tomorrow if it is smooth Mas joint venture with Rendra buyin Adek car."

"Didn't ah. Don't need my car yet. Yes, yes, yes, my. Cafes are again this crowded, pity on being overwhelmed at serving customers. I'm gonna help you at the cashier."

"Okay, Deck. If you get a break, don't force it. Greetings to Rendra."

"Ready, Mas. Wassalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Deck."

Adi put the device on the table after ending the conversation with his sister.

"Where, Mas? relieved already?" ask Adelia softly.

"Already, Ai. It turns out we are both kangen," Adi replied grimacingly at his wife.

"Your blessings are very strong, my dear."

"Yes, maybe." Adi shrugged both of his shoulders.

After eating, Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya became their next destination. That said, this monastery is one of the largest in Southeast Asia. Entering the monastery area, there is a large white building, complete with maitreya statues that also decorate.

Adi and Adelia entered the three-story building. The first floor of Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya is used to worship for Buddhists. While the second floor is used as a place of worship of Buddhists with the flow of maitreya, especially for those who worship the ancestors. And the third floor to worship for Buddhists with the maitreya school.

Nagoya Hill became their destination today. The shopping center area is almost entirely selling foreign products, such as Singapore and Malaysia. Here you can shop anything you want, ranging from electronics to imported snacks. The price is much cheaper than what is sold in other cities. Nagoya Hill is a shopping paradise. Adi and Adelia bought some goods and food for their family's souvenirs.

After satisfied shopping, they returned to Bintan Island by taking the ferry again. They had dinner first before returning to the hotel to rest and began packing things, because the next day they would return to Jogja.
