Agus grew up in the strict upbringing of his father, Sergeant Major Dedi, a soldier who was injured during an operation in East Timor. After Dedi's death, Agus understood the magnitude of his father's sacrifice and was determined to follow in his footsteps by becoming a soldier. In the midst of duty and conflict, Agus also struggled to maintain his household with Evi, so that it would not be destroyed like his family before. Slowly, he began to understand that his father's footsteps were not to be repeated, but rather used as a lesson in forming his own path.
