Chapter 40
There were four people who confronted Ahmad and the couple. The problem was that the four criminals were holding weapons while Ahmad and the others had no weapons.
"Do you have martial arts?" ask Ahmad.
"No, I don't like fighting" the man replied.
'I mean I'm not that. People who can master many martial arts are also not people who like to fight.' Ahmad only spoke in his heart.
"But we have to fight them in order to survive" Ahmad said.
"I told you I don't like fighting" said the man again.
"Miss, can you ride a motorcycle?" ask Ahmad.
"Could be" answered the woman.
Then ask someone else for help or the police. About two kilos from here there's a police station. Ask them for help!" decreed Ahmad.
The woman got on her bike and went for help. When one of the criminals was about to stop the woman, Ahmad confronted her and there was a fight between them.
"I will not let you catch up with him" Ahmad said.
The man who was helped by Ahmad instead went with Ahmad's motorbike which happened to be the key is still attached. Other criminal friends also attacked Ahmad simultaneously.
"Look at the person you helped already left you! Now you're just alone" said the criminal, laughing out loud. And so did all the friends laughing at Ahmad.
"O Allah, I ask for help only to you. May You always protect this weak servant. Life and death I am in Your power" said Ahmad.
Ahmad fought them with his bare hands. He tried to take down his opponents one by one. Although he was hit several times by samurai incisions on his hands and feet.

Meanwhile, Aulia was asleep. He dreamed of seeing such a beautiful palace. The gate was also very high and strong. He wanted to enter the palace.
"This palace is so beautiful! Who's it, huh?" ask Aulia alone.
A man in white robes came with a shining face. So Aulia lowered her head.
"Assalamu'alaikum," he said.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Aulia.
"What are you doing here?" ask the man.
"I was looking at a very beautiful and magnificent palace. Whose is this?" ask Aulia.
"This palace belongs to the servant of God who always does amar makruf nahi mungkar," he said again.
"It's lucky that people can stay here" Aulia continued.
Aulia saw many angels who entered there. He also felt like going in there, but the man prevented himself.
"This palace must not be entered by you" he said.
Aulia's heart felt very sick hearing that. Why is it that someone else can come in while he cannot. He wept and complained to his Lord to be allowed into the palace.
"Aulia! Aulia! Wake, Son!" the sound of Joseph's grandfather knocking on Aulia's door was rather loud.
Aulia opened her eyes and realized she was dreaming. His cheeks were wet with tears, and he quickly wiped them.
"Auliah!"
"Yes, just a minute, Cake," Aulia replied getting out of her bed.
Aulia opened the door and the anxious looking face of Joseph's grandfather was usually calm and radiant.
"What's up, Cake?" ask Aulia.
"Tumben midnight like this Grandpa asked to be taken to the hospital. Is grandpa sick?" ask Aulia.
"Yes. Take Grandpa to the hospital, yeah!" pinta Yusuf's grandfather again.
"Well, Cake" replied Aulia and looked at the clock almost 01.00 in the morning.
Aulia, Joseph's grandfather, and Halima's grandmother went to the hospital. There is something strange according to Aulia when Joseph's grandfather went directly to the IGD, and looked for victims.
"Ahmad, open your eyes, son!" lirih Yusuf's grandfather.
Aulia froze unable to move only her tears fell, when she saw a man she had been thinking about lately lying on top of a gurney. Several tools were attached to his body, many of which were bandaged in his hands, chest, stomach and head. Ahmad is like a mummy.
"Grandfather, are you the victim's family?" ask a doctor.
"Yes, doctor. How's my granddaughter doing?" ask grandfather Yusuf.
"The victim is in a coma, and is very unlikely to survive. There were several important organs in his body that were seriously injured and the victim also lost a lot of blood" the doctor replied.
"Mas Ahmad," Aulia's great-grandson finally, he now walked closer to Ahmad.
"How can my grandson get hurt like this?" ask Grandma Halimah with tears.
"That, can be asked to the police," the doctor replied.
"Doctor, please save my future husband!" pinta Aulia with a pleading gaze.
"What is Miss Aulia?" ask the doctor looking towards Aulia.
"I-yes, I'm Aulia" replied Aulia.
"The patient had mentioned your name several times before losing consciousness" the doctor said.
Aulia's chest felt tight, sore, tight, and Aulia's legs felt turned into jelly, so unable to support her weight. He cried violently while holding his left chest which was very painful.
"Mas Ahmad, please open your eyes. It´s me! I've come," said Aulia on the sidelines of her cries.
"O Allah, doctor, Ahmad opened his eyes! exclaimed grandfather Yusuf pleased.
Aulia stood up immediately. She smiled happily to see her future husband open his eyes even a little.
The doctor was about to check, but Ahmad's hand gestured to restrain him. Ahmad opened his breathing apparatus.
"Aulia" said Ahmad.
"Yes, Mas. Do not talk first, let the doctor first examine the situation of Mas Ahmad," said Aulia.
"I'm sorry .. Find my future substitute priest. Look for a man who is better than me" said Ahmad slowly.
"No, Mom! There is no better man than Mas Ahmad to me." Aulia shook her head.
"You deserve to live happily again, rest assured, that you will get a man who loves you as much as you are" Ahmad said with his ringing.
"No. Grandpa married me and Mas Ahmad right now. I beg you, Cake. Marry us now!" pinta Aulia to Joseph's grandfather.
"Aulia—"
"Grandfather, let me be Mas Ahmad's wife" Aulia said with a soft voice.
