Mustafa Badrun

In 1997, a young Mustafa Badrun vacationed for a week on a visit with his parents in Sapat subdistrict, located on an islet in Kuala Indragiri district, Indragiri Hilir regency, Riau, about 340 kilometers from the provincial capital of Pekanbaru. He had just finished his schooling at Jakarta’s Darul Islah Islamic boarding school. After his holiday with family and childhood friends, he was supposed to return to Jakarta to continue his studies.

The plan did not materialize. His father Badrun, a madrasa teacher at a small kampung in Sapat, asked Mustafa to stay on. Badrun hoped his son could help with work in the kampung. Mustafa obeyed his father\'s instruction. Mustafa felt something was missing in the kampung. He no longer sensed the beauty of the Batang River that flowed in front of his house as he had during his childhood.
