Because August is coming soon, which indicates that summer vacation is about to come, Farhan's mother ( Zahra Nabila ) want to spending time with his only child to go to Tokyo on vacation.

Because of that, he was excited, he then prepared whatever he would bring, including the tamagachi pet device that he loved very much.
Not to forget, he calling Salma by landline to say that he might not be able to play at Urayama Hill anymore because of vacation.

Farhan and his mother, Zahra, already prepared what will be brought. Because it was night, they then had dinner. When they're done they go to bed because tomorrow morning at 5am they should be at Station because if not, then they will miss the train.
KUKURUYUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKK PETOK PETOK. The sound of chickens from afar is quite loud woke up Farhan. Surprised, he opened his eyes and looked at the clock and he was really surprised because 20 minutes would come in at 5 a.m. He immediately rushed to wake up his mother who was still asleep.
" maaaa, wake up maaa wake up. It's five o'clock soon, we will be late for the train maaa " while shaking his mother's body.
Because his mother was still not awake, he ran to the bathroom to get a dipper and water to splash his mother's face. After returning to the room, his mother's first splash still did not wake up, because according to Farhan the water splashed a little bit. he then splashing enough water and..... Finally, Zahra woke up.
" Maa fastt, the train will be coming soon "
Because she heard her son say that, she then looked at the wall clock. How surprised she was. She directly picked up the things prepared yesterday and pulled her son's hand to run to the station. Previously, she locked rooms and doors and turned off electricity to keeping safe them when far away. After that, she and her son ran to the station. Because the distance was quite close, Farhan and his mother, Zahra finally arrived on time when the train stopped. They two so grateful because if they are is late, there is no train schedule anymore and have to take a taxi which is more expensive and takes 3 times longer than the train. This is the last schedule for trains to operate and will resume operations in mid-August.
After that they buy tickets that are discounted at the beginning of the semester vacation. Price before discount is ¥3000 ( around $21 ) for 1 one person and after discount is around ¥2600 ( About $18 ) for two people, it's really cheap, isn't.
After making the transaction, they entered the train and sat in the seats provided. The distance from their place to central Tokyo is quite far( is about 5 hours journey by train ) so Farhan spending time on the train to see the city scenery in the window of the train.
