One day, there are a boss called young Tauke arrived in their rural, he went to go there because of hunting wild boar which disturbed people around there at that time. Then, Bujang ask a permission to his parents to follow up young Tauke go to the jungle. But Mamak (his mother) look  like won’t him to go. They will make a big hunting over the jungle like their plan on a long time ago. Like his mother said, Bujang just accepted to watch their activities, and forbidden to get fight with the wild boar . with a spear that his father gave to, on his hand,  he went to the jungle, through the valley to the main jungle of Sumatra. When the night are comes, his chest is feels like be splited, his fear on himself was feels like taken out from there.

Then his mother said to Bujang “promise, that you’ll safe your stomatch from forbiddened foods and drinks, and dirty things, Bujang. So that, if you’re get an injury, dark on your heart, you’ll stil have one white pointed. Hope that’s all can be useful. And calling you to go home someday.”- page 24th. Then 20 years latters, Bujang is transformed into an amazing man. Academic, sturdy, and sharped eye. He met the strongest president. Warn him to do not make a changes for anything, disturb how ever Tong’s family bussines. Tong’s  family has a bussines named shadow economy. “Shadow economy is an economy that walk under the table, on the dark room. Because of that, people usually called it as black market too or underground economy. But it wasn’t an bussines that walk to sale drugs, forbidden medicine and so on. It walk on money loundering, weapon selling, sophisticated technology, retail, transportation, capital market, foreign money, crude oil, and so on. But all of them are walk on the black market. Not known by  public, not registered on the government, and clearly not covered by media. We stand up behind the shadow, Stare at the drama of people's lives.” – page 30th.
