Al Kahfi Land - Two Sides
Caracas Prison - Part 3
“I don't want to help, Dini. Even if I am a minister but it is not that easy ngizinin you enter the Karakas Prison area,” said Daud Haris when called Early.
“I'm not asking you to help as a minister, but you as Fahri's best friend. Are you also sure Fahri is guilty?” ask Dini.
“Obviously not, but I don't have hard evidence to help Fahri. Besides that place is also a danger to you,” said Daud Haris.
“It is precisely because the place is dangerous, then I have to go there to know the condition Fahri. David, there must be people who want to defend small people fighters like Fahri,” said Dini.
“Hmm, sori, I guess that's not the only reason,” said Daud Haris.
“If it is, is it wrong?” ask Dini.
“Hmm, well I understand. Hmm, Fahri is indeed a lucky man. Dini, let me just send people there to make sure Fahri well,” pinta Daud.
“No! I have to see it live, with or without your help,” said Early.
“Iya yes! You guys are a good fit, both stubborn and don't care about danger. Okay, tomorrow morning I accompany you to Karakas Prison,”, said Daud Haris.
“Well, it's just a friend. Thank you David, assalamu’alaikum.”
“Sama-sama Early. Wa’alaikumussalam,”

“Lu come with us, now!” one of the guards orders Fahri.
Fahri follows the 3 warden who takes him to Block A. The cell rooms in Block A are very different from the place, not having iron bars but covered in iron walls and doors, so the inside is not visible. After driving Fahri into someone's cell room, the guards left.
“Welcome to my little hut, please sit down! Oh, this is Fahri, the new ruler of Block B. Let's call me Mr. Saliem or Mr. Liem. If you are the ruler of Block B then I am the ruler of Karakas Prison,” said Mr Saliem while lighting his kretek cigarette, “kalo you want to smoke, please!”.
“Thank you Mr Liem, I don't smoke,” said Fahri.
Fahri observes rooms that are too luxurious to be referred to as prison rooms, there are sets of sofas, TVs, refrigerators, kitchenettes, AC, laptops and so on. Mr. Liem was not wearing a prison uniform, he was sitting accompanied by 3 prisoners and a warden, their posture was big like Bong, according to Fahri they were the bodyguards of Mr. Liem.
“Oh, yes I don't want to know at all about your origins, but it doesn't matter, you need to know, here it all comes back from zero, people are judged by what they can provide for our common well-being. So I'm just getting straight to the point, because you just dropped Bong off his singlet, then you're entitled to take his place, but that's if I allow it. Fahri, for smart people, this prison is the best business district because we will no longer be tampered with by the law, you can go in and out whenever you want, he said, under the condition that this is your home and the state should not know. Do you understand what I'm talking about?” ask Mr. Saliem.
“You want me to quote tax from a Block B prisoner and deposit it to you, so Mr Liem?” ask Fahri.
“Hahaha, the residents of Block B are human beings who like to kill people, it is not a place for people to money, what do you want to quote? What I need from the select people in Block B is certainly your expertise to kill the people who disrupt my business. Young man! My business is not much but the results are not small, in Block A, we offer comfort services, large cell rooms with facilities such as in my room and holidays out of prison, he said, of course he had to go back or get rid of my bodyguard who followed him. In Block C I controlled the business of the drug dealers who were still running their business from inside the prison. I have made peace with Rizal Salman, so that in a few months I am free, even though my sentence is still long, because I can give tribute of any amount requested by the authorities, the apparatus, the police, the media and anyone they come from close their eyes. The only thing we don't touch here are the political prisoners, let the freaks have their own world, their identity is fulfilled when they succeed in disrupting the ruler of the country, hahaha, he said,” story Mr. Saliem.
“That means, the warden here is under your control too?” ask Fahri.
“Money talk, young man! Do you know how much the warden pays? The warden's salary? They work deep in the ocean doors at the stake of life, but the salary is not enough to send their children to school. I came here to end their suffering, to provide for them welfare, that's what I promised when I came. President Anggito's promise during the campaign can not be fulfilled, but my promise to the warden I can fulfill, they have made rich. Ah it's too long if I tell you everything, the point is are you interested in helping my business?” ask Mr. Saliem.
“After being your person, I can go in and out of the cell room and drive around?” ask Fahri.
“Hahaha, it is indeed a special facility of my chosen people, even you have to move to a more decent cell, but I do not know your loyalty to me yet,” said Mr. Saliem.
“Mr Liem, show me who you want to kill in this prison, I immediately bring their heads tonight, so that I can quickly become your chosen person!” fahri resolute.
“Hahaha, I love your spirit! I do need strong people who want to spend time in prison smartly, it turns out you are even smarter than Bong! Just relax, I don't have a job for you yet. O, yes because I also really enjoyed your show with Bong on CCTV, you will give me a gift, you need money?” ask Mr. Saliem.
“Sorry Mr. Liem, tonight I don't need any money. If I may want to ask for a small gift to drive away bored, such a laptop, may?” ask Fahri.
“Hahaha, fetch! I can't wear it either, usually my guys use it for the internet. They like to play games and watch movies, why do young criminals like you behave like children? Hahaha, maybe I am getting older.” said Mr. Liem.
“Thank you, Mr. Liem,” said Fahri.
After talking to Mr. Liem, Fahri was escorted back to his cell by the guards. Zul looks at the laptop Fahri brought.
“Crazy! Haha ....Huh huh? A laptop? *****! Haha. This in your hand is more dangerous than a gun,” pekik Zul.
