[bunniefuu]

THIS STORY IS FICTIONAL.

ANY RESEMBLANCE OF STORY, NAMES,

OR EVENTS IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL.

So hurtful.

Oh God, this is so depressing.

Is this real?

Has Bardi turned away from me?

What a useless partner I have.

Always giving false information. Darn it.

I know

Bardi lied to everyone.

He couldn't possibly

fall in love at first sight.

He even took a long time

to propose me.

There's no way he proposed to Sri

that quick.

It's not in the suitcase or in here.

Where is it?

Where did I put it?

I can't find the statement.

So, what's the case, Mr. and Mrs. Sastro?

Is he ready to be blessed?

I'm sorry, Ustad.

Hold on.

Take your time.

Listen.

I know I asked you

to keep my son away from that woman.

But now, I'm asking you to unite them.

So, you have given your consent?

-Yes.

-Praise be to God.

When the sign is visible

and the chosen one is ready,

it is better to give our consent.

Yes.

So, can you pray so I can

get married to Sri soon?

Well

Where is Sri?

I think it's better to give

the blessing to both of you.

Here's the thing, Ustad.

My son has asked

his girlfriend to come here,

but up until now, she hasn't shown up yet.

Can we use her photograph?

I'm sure you can.

Please give your blessing

using this photograph.

Hey.

-So?

-You crazy brat!

I'm an ex-convict myself,

but even I can respect the norms.

This is forbidden!

Undoubtedly forbidden!

I can't let do this!

I thought you said you wanted to help me?

This is Mrs. Bardi.

-Mrs. Bardi?

-This woman is married.

She's married?

No, no, Mom! Dad!

Sri's marriage with

Mr. Bardi is only a pretense.

It's not based on love.

Sri only loves me. Just me.

Oh my God, ask forgiveness from God!

No.

You can't have a relationship

with a married woman.

Absolutely not!

That's forbidden.

Oh God.

What

Sir!

That's not the truth.

This is a misunderstanding, Mom.

What an insane world.

He wants to have a relationship

with a married woman!

Insolent.

Now what?

That girl I met earlier.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you too.

First step of wooing. Check.

Sending picture. Check.

Now, the next step.

Miss Nanik.

Hello, Miss.

Oh, hi!

Oh, yes.

Okay, let's do that!

Of course.

Sure, tomorrow okay?

Okay, okay.

Okay.

Yes. Bye.

My parents have finally given their

consent to our relationship.

Sri, so I'm begging you

What is wrong with you?

I'm shattered, Dad.

I never imagined

that this love would k*ll me slowly.

Please, at least for once,

let me introduce you to my parents.

What were you thinking?

The Ustad knows better,

that your love is a forbidden love.

He doesn't know what love is.

I do.

So, what will you do now?

I won't give up.

I'm going to keep trying.

Wouldn't it be better if you

reunited with Ageng's mother?

Reunite with Yuni?

Yes.

Dad!

g*n

This is from Sri, Dad!

-I'm really sorry.

-Hold on.

-That I have hurt you so much.

-What does she say?

-She's willing to come here.

-I'm willing to come,

if you want to introduce

me to your parents.

I will do it.

What is it, Rot?

You said you want to talk to me?

Are you looking for this?

Rot.

You were keeping this statement?

You remember when Gunawan

snuck into the house that night?

Gunawan?

What in the world are you doing here?

Yes, Rot.

I remember.

That night

Mom.

What is this?

I read that statement unintentionally.

Oh son

I want you to marry Mr. Bardi

in the real sense, instead of a pretense.

Because I feel like I finally

have a father figure.

Yes, Rot.

I know that Mr. Bardi

is a very kind-hearted person.

But, I don't know

whether we can actually

marry in the real sense.

Is it not possible

that you marry Mr. Bardi for real?

The thing is,

I don't know how he truly feels.

What I know is,

he's willing to marry me

under the pretense

just with the intention to help us.

He doesn't have any other motive.

Yes, Mom.

Actually, I was happy,

because I thought

I would have a dad and brother.

I mean Ageng, Mom.

He's smart.

The problem is

Ageng's mother

intends to reunite with Mr. Bardi.

Mr. Bardi and Ageng's mother will reunite?

I don't know.

I don't know whether he wants it or not.

Why don't you ask Mr. Bardi personally?

That's not an option, Rot.

I can't possibly ask him such a question.

You're unbelievable.

Okay.

Get ready for school,

you don't want to be late.

Is it not possible

that you marry Mr. Bardi for real?

The thing is,

I don't know how he truly feels.

I accept the marriage of Sri Widuri,

daughter of Slamet,

to me, Ambardi, with said dowry in cash.

So, you think Gunawan and I

are really incompatible?

Actually, he's nice to me.

But

Okay, okay.

I understand.

What do you think

if you keep studying

at Teladan Junior High,

while we

move back to our own house?

It's fine, Mom.

I can understand.

I sympathize with Mr. Bardi.

But still, I cannot ask for more.

But, I don't know

whether we can actually

marry in the real sense.

Here it is.

Tomorrow, okay?

Miss Nanik!

-Yuni!

-Gosh, I missed you so much!

What took you so long in Korea?

I miss you too.

But what can I do?

The doctors there had tons to do to me.

This.

This.

This.

And this.

No wonder!

Hey, you were thin

and flat-chested back then.

Now you're like a Spanish guitar.

Really buxom.

-For real!

-Come here.

Don't just admire it.

Here, touch it.

Wow, it's firm!

Not just one, both of them!

-Gosh, they're stiff.

-Here!

They feel like real ones.

You bet!

You need to take care of your assets.

Right.

I hope I can take care of my assets

all the way to Korea.

I want it too!

The more buxom you get,

the more guys get in line.

I know, right?

-Miss.

-What?

You didn't bring me anything at all?

What about a handsome Korean?

Just one is enough.

Relax.

I got you something,

especially just for a

hot divorcee like you.

Something very special.

-What?

-Hold on.

Here.

This is especially for you, Yun.

-What is this?

-Just open it.

-Open it.

-Okay, okay.

Yes.

What is this?

How do I open this?

What is this?

You know, something to buzz you.

Feels tingling and tickling

with kicking pleasure,

like you're flying high to the moon

without any help from some stud.

-Handsome Korean?

-Yeah, that's what I mean.

This is like in one of those films.

I know, right?

Oh, don't let Ageng find out.

Of course.

Imagine if he knew.

That would be embarrassing.

And it's pink, I love it.

It's cute. Thank you.

Anytime.

Yun

I heard

your ex-husband, Bardi,

is no longer single now.

He got provoked by someone.

Tuti, that sassy pestering girl.

She's the one who

hooked Bardi up with her friend.

A widow with a child.

And then?

That's it.

They got married officially at

the Religious Affairs Office.

Then you need to open your eyes.

Bardi has become

a successful businessman, right?

-What do you mean "open my eyes"?

-Listen.

He's married again now, right?

Yeah.

That woman is eyeing his wealth now, Yun.

Ustad Soleh.

How handsome.

This couple, Mr. and Mrs. Bardi

They need to be grateful to the Chairman,

and Jarot's school principal.

Without them, they wouldn't have

known each other in the first place.

Not to mention be married!

Their fake marriage was caused by

the principal and the Chairman.

What do you want now, boy? What?

Will you help me now, Tut?

Just help me this once.

Help with what?

We're like friends, right?

Besties.

So, help me every once in a while.

You're talking in circles.

What help do you want now, g*n?

So I sent a message

to Sri's phone yesterday.

She's willing to meet both of my parents.

She wants to meet your parents?

Yes.

But why?

Obviously to be their daughter-in-law.

Not their servant.

My future wife!

Yeah, yeah, sure.

I'll help you.

But if this doesn't work,

keep your frustration to yourself, okay?

Sure! But you'll help me, right?

Yes.

Why would a cold divorcee like you

marry under a pretense?

Especially if you don't have any feelings?

Why am I getting this bad feeling?

So, what's happening?

You're one step behind Gunawan now.

Where did you hear this news?

From whom?

Gunawan talked to me earlier.

He said he wants to introduce Sri

to his parents soon.

This is not from Sri, right?

No, Gunawan said this.

So what now?

Okay.

You don't need to worry.

How am I supposed to not worry?

Sri is my legitimate wife.

It's just that I may not

have won her heart entirely,

which makes you worried now.

But, calm your mind, okay?

This Korean souvenir is cute.

Ah, I see.

It's a toy for adult women,

just like in the novels.

It looks cute.

But where's the buzz?

How?

Battery

Yes.

One.

Two.

Then?

Mom?

What is it, Geng?

I'm leaving for my recitation.

Okay.

Hey, what are you doing?

I want to kiss your hand.

Look, my hands are dirty, okay?

Okay, just go. It's already late.

Okay, I'll take my leave.

Yes. Take care, son.

How do I turn it off?

This is bad.

If I keep this here, Ageng might find out.

No way.

I'll have to take this everywhere I go.

Looks like you're in a good mood.

I noticed you are smiling a lot today.

Yes, Geng.

I'm very happy now.

Why, Mom?

Well

I've made a decision.

Soon enough

You and I

will move back into your dad's house.

What do you think?

Has he agreed?

Leave that to me and your dad.

You don't need to worry about it.

Mrs. Chairman?

Why is she wearing a similar dress?

She's imitating me.

Is that Mrs. Yuni?

Mrs. Yuni!

Mrs. Chairman.

I thought you were one of the

community ladies in our neighborhood.

Community ladies?

This is our new

community uniform for the ladies.

What do you think? It looks great, right?

I picked the color and pattern for it.

Excuse me, I have to go.

What's the rush, ma'am?

Hold on, wait!

-What is it?

-Well

How are you after the meeting yesterday?

You're at peace now, I hope.

You've moved on from Mr. Bardi?

It's not that simple, ma'am.

Because Bardi is my first love.

First love.

And the father of my son.

But you were the one who left him.

Have you forgotten?

Hazy memory?

That was then, ma'am.

Come on, let bygones be bygones.

Why keep bringing it up?

That's the point, let bygones be bygones.

You should look for someone else.

Mr. Bardi is officially married now.

But, keep this in mind,

stay away from studs,

or you'll get dumped just like

when you were with Hermawan.

You're telling me what to do now?

Interfering in my life? That's enough.

You and the Chairman

have interfered enough in my life.

My husband and I have never

interfered in anyone's life.

You were the one who asked for our help.

Now you're starting to piss me off.

What? Now you're putting the blame on me?

It's obvious, isn't it?

Okay, let me explain.

From yesterdays' meeting

it's blatantly clear,

that you and your husband

have somehow forced my husband

to marry again. Admit it!

I can't believe you're lashing out at me!

How can I not lash out?

What if you were in my shoes?

It's crystal clear

that you and your husband

are the cause of all this,

the ones who ruin and shatter everything!

That's it!

Let's end this!

-Bring it on!

-Fine!

-I didn't do anything wrong!

-You don't scare me!

You accused me!

-Come on, let's

-I'm not wrong!

I'm not afraid of you!

Okay, stop. Stop!

That's it. I'm going!

Enough.

I won't disgrace myself

dealing with the likes of you.

Like I care.

Ungrateful woman.

I've helped her,

but she blames me.

And not a single "sorry" for all she said.

Shameless woman!

Something bad must have

happened at the market.

What is this?

Now what?

Not another hijab.

She has so many of them.

Oh my.

What is this?

Oh dear God!

This pair of red shoes is cool.

Makes me look even hotter.

But why am I still single?

Fine.

Being single

doesn't mean I can't fly

to the moon by myself.

While Ageng isn't home.

What's happening?

This is not my stuff.

Wait.

Darn it.

Darn it.

Where is it?

Dear.

I need to go to the District Office.

But, I can't kiss your hand,

my hands are dirty.

Not even a glance at me?

I bet that buzzing thing has replaced me.

Okay, I'm going now. Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you too. Take care, dear.

Whose stuff is this?

Where is my stuff?

It must've been switched

with Mrs. Dayat's stuff!

Blast it!

This whole matter,

about Mr. and Mrs. Bardi's fake marriage

is becoming a bit out of hand.

It's because Jarot

wanted to enroll into Teladan Junior High

but he wasn't allowed,

according to the School Zoning rule.

Gosh.

When you think about it

this is all on me.

But Mr. Chairman

also has his share of guilt.

Mr. Dayat! Mr. Chairman!

Excuse me, Chairman.

In my opinion,

regarding Jarot's mother,

it's not about a fake marriage or not.

But we're both responsible for that.

How is it my fault?

What can I say?

I don't believe this.

Just because I refused to apologize,

she's not answering my calls.

Is she blocking my number?

Mrs. Chairman!

Ma'am.

God.

Mrs. Yuni, what now?

Want to pick a fight again?

Or apologize?

Why are you here?

Why aren't you answering my calls?

You're blocking my number now?

Whatever. I'm not talking to you.

-See, you're blocking my number.

-So what?

This is very urgent.

This is yours, right?

Why is my dress in there?

I knew it.

You took my bag by mistake!

-It was switched.

-How come?

How should I know?

Now, where's my bag?

Wait.

Hey, but

What now?

You didn't open it, right?

No! I went to the kitchen, I cooked,

washed, and now I'm drying the clothes.

Okay, now please can you return it?

Wait.

That was close.

-Here's your bag.

-Perfect.

Thank you. Now, please excuse me.

What a nuisance.

Who's calling?

Yuni.

Hello, Yun. What is it?

How do I use this buzzing toy?

You're holding it in your hand now?

It's buzzing in my hand.

In your hand? Don't use it on your hand!

Put it straight into it.

Hold on.

So

just do it straight?

Yeah, straight!

You're going to wait until tomorrow?

You know

I've never done this before.

It's my first time.

I usually use the real thing.

This is my first time trying a fake.

Okay, just enjoy yourself.

That buzzing toy will make you

fly high to the moon.

Okay.

Thank you.

Yun, you naive girl. Okay.

Straight into it.

Alright.

What

How do I

Dear.

We need to talk.

Wait, dear. This is funny.

This cannot wait.

This is about my position as a husband!

As the head of the family.

As the leader of this house!

My God.

What's the matter, dear?

How could you do that?

How could you be so cruel to me?

Me? What did I do?

What is it all about, dear?

This concerns the Prophet's Sunnah.

The Prophet's Sunnah?

I understand that the Sunnah

is compulsory for us,

but do you think I can't

satisfy you anymore?

I know I'm not young anymore.

Like a machine,

my performance is not as good

as it used to be. I know that.

But what is this all about?

Why do you need to have

that kind of instrument?

What instrument?

That buzzing toy!

That buzzing toy?

I didn't buy any instrument!

This. What is this?

That's my dress.

What? That's not it!

That buzzing toy was right there.

Buzzing?

Oh, hold on.

I met Mrs. Yuni earlier in the market,

and her bag was switched with mine.

You mean you brought her bag home earlier?

Exactly!

Good morning, sir.

Morning, Rot.

Mom.

I'll take my leave.

Yes, Rot. Take care, okay?

Yes, Mom.

Let me drive him.

Yes, sir.

I'll walk with you to the terrace.

What is it, Rot?

My mother is pretty, right?

Yes.

Very.

No wonder

you like to stare at her.

You like her, don't you?

If you like her, just tell her so.

Because my mom's

not going to say it upfront.

Before someone else makes a move, right?

Sri, my love.

When can I take you to meet my parents?

Will you give me one more chance, please?

I'll do as you wish tomorrow,

at 10:00 in the morning.

Pick me up at Ambardi Batik Store.
