Al Kahfi Land, Depok, 1999
In the morning around 6, Uge was picked up by a car that Pak Nata had hired to leave for Al Kahfi Land. Uge's intuition was right, there must be something that caused him to not be able to meet Andi, suddenly the Dewi mobile number was not active when Uge contacted him in the wartel. Uge's heart was pounding, he had a bad feeling.
At 8 Uge has arrived in Al Kahfi Land, Pak Nata is already there. Uge suspected that there must be something very important about the office so that Mr. Nata suddenly told people to pick him up. Beyond the suspicion of Uge, Mr. Nata even more about his family.
"Do you have a candidate?" ask Mr. Nata.
Uge did want to talk about his desire to marry Dewi, but after graduation, apparently Pak Nata made him have to deliver now.
"God willing, sir," replied Uge.
There was a disappointed look on Mr. Nata's face even though he hid it. "Oh so? Alhamdulillah, if you have not been known to the father, maybe there is something you can help," said Mr. Nata tried wisely, he did not want to force Uge to follow his wishes.
"Pak Nata, actually Angga did want to talk about this, but still waiting for the right time, it turns out you have asked now," said Uge.
"Oh, if you have good intentions, implemented immediately, if Angga does not have a family representative, you are willing," Mr. Nata knew Uge lived a kara.
"Sir, actually Angga wants permission to marry his father's son, Widi," said Uge.
Pak Nata's face looks shocked and happy, he confirmed again, "married to Widi?"
"People believe Widi is the right person to be a life partner, Angga has stated it to Widi." Uge tries to calm down, he is ready to risk his business relationship if Mr. Nata disagrees.
"How long have you been dating? How come you guys never talk?" ask Mr. Nata.
"We are not dating, Angga seriously loves his father, so Angga wants to marry him, not date. At that time Angga only knew that the Father was Widi's father, and Widi also did not know if I and the Father knew each other,” replied Uge.
"Widi answered your proposal?" ask Mr. Nata.
"Widi did not answer with the word 'iya' but Angga sure insyaAllah his attitude shows Widi is willing," replied Uge.
"Actually the father and mother have been wanting to match you for a long time, but we are worried that it will be wrong, the children now do not like to be betrothed, it turns out you have talked about this serious thing. Thank God, tonight we talk about it together yes," said Mr. Nata.
"So you allow Angga?" ask Uge.
"God willing Son, Angga does not realize yes, the father and mother are very dear to you as your own child, so the dream of Angga is father help. With the marriage bond, you become more confident, Angga can guide Widi," said Mr. Nata.
"Thank you, sir" said Uge.
"Oh yeah, you know where Widi is?" ask Mr. Nata.
"Yes, I follow Angga's advice. Widi and Ibu, you go to a secret place, all your phone numbers ask for a change. Later at 11 pm, you go to the father's office, from there we go to meet mom and Widi at the top. Now you want to go to the headquarters first, take care of the corruption case," said Mr. Nata.
"Yes sir, do you want Angga interracial? Tumben I didn't bring a driver, '" asked Uge.
"Pak Bambang, your personal driver, has been fired. He turned out to be paid to be the corrupt informant, very dangerous! Angga do not need to be between the Father, mumpung here, Angga just do what must be done, maybe the employees who have been working in Ruko Fatmawati need Angga's direction. You stay first yes, assalamualaikum," greeting Mr. Nata.
"Wa alaikumsalam, be careful sir, if you need any news Angga aja, Insya Allah later Angga buy a mobile phone, so that the father easily contact Angga," said Uge.
"Yes thank you Angga," said Mr. Nata while leaving Uge.
After Pak Nata left, Uge went around reviewing the construction of Al Kahfi Land. Uge the man who always wants to be fast. Although the construction of Al Kahfi's office has not been completed, he has been running a business in a temporary office, even starting simultaneously building property projects for sale.
Uge has recruited 3 employees, Santoso is the first person he invites and he is not new to Uge. Santoso and Uge grew up in the same orphanage, Santoso was 5 years old over Uge, so he often considered Uge to be a younger brother.
Uge had not met Santoso for a long time, Uge invited him because in his old place career and salary is difficult to climb. It turns out Santoso is very reliable, he takes care of all the things that are not held by Uge. Santoso never took advantage of his historical ties with Uge, even santoso always called Uge as Mr. Erlangga. But Uge rejects the title 'Sir', he prefers Santoso still call him 'Angga' and treat him as a friend only.

At 11pm Uge came to Mr. Nata in his office. Then they set out for the secret place of Pak Nata's family. Uge drives a luxury sedan Pak Nata in a tired and sleepy condition, he has not slept from yesterday, he is too forsir energy because he is ambitious to complete Al Kahfi Land as soon as possible.
The car drove on a deserted highway through the darkness of the night. Throughout the journey they did not talk much. Fatigue makes Mr. Nata save his energy, he continues to recite remembrance while closing his eyes.
Suddenly Mr. Nata asked with his eyes closed, "Angga, I feel guilty, have not had time to educate Widi to carry out religious orders, if the life of the Father is taken now, how do you hold that accountable?"
Uge glanced at Mr. Nata, he was actually confused to answer what, but he wanted to make Mr. Nata calm, "God willing, you still have a lot of opportunities for that."
"If I don't have a chance, you guide my son, will you?" Mr. Nata opened his eyes and looked at Angga.
Although Pak Nata's question made him uncomfortable, Uge tried to find a soothing answer, "God willing, sir, hopefully I can accompany the father to guide Widi."
Mr. Nata opened his seat-belt, then pulled back his seat and laid down.
"Don't open sir, danger," said Uge worried.
Pak Nata's question made him feel bad, Uge tried to dispel his feelings.
"My body feels a bit claustrophobic, can it be opened for a moment?" ask Mr. Nata.
Uge did not dare to force Mr. Nata, he nodded.
"Now I'm calm, hopefully you and Widi get married soon and I have good grandchildren." Mr. Nata closed his eyes again and then recited the thought slowly again.
"Aamiin O Allah" replied Uge.
After that in the car was only heard the sound of remembrance of Mr. Nata, he had said the word tawhid, after which he fell asleep. His face looked calm, he slept while smiling without snoring, as Uge glanced at him.
Uge was driving at a moderate pace, silent without any interlocutors made Uge more sleepy, now his mind was only focused to see the road ahead with his eyes open, so that he did not think of messing with the car that followed him, he thought the car was looking for travel companions to be safe, because the condition of the highway is very quiet.
A few hundred meters ahead, Uge saw the container truck breaking down, after which the truck was in the middle of the road. In order to get through the truck, Uge increased the speed to move to the fast lane.
The SUV car in the back turned out to be the ones who paid to terrorize Mr. Nata. The driver thought the target wanted to escape, they decided to act quickly before being left behind, the car behind tried to catch up, one of the people in the car opened the glass and shot the rear tire of the car Mr. Nata. Dor's!
Uge was startled, but he thought the sound of the eruption came from the tire of his car that broke, not the gunfire. Uge was trying to anticipate his car that was too close to the tail of the truck. The front left of his car directly hit the container hard. His sight instantly became dark.
