Hello, Desi.
Hi, Dam. How are you?
I'm good. You?
I'm good. I assume you need something
from me since you called?
Well, sort of.
Do you remember
how you once helped me
with courting my late wife?
Now, I need your help with that again.
It's about a girl again?
What can I do to help?
I need suggestions from you
on how I can make a move,
but this time, it has to be different.
You know, like extra-special,
made just for her,
since this is for someone
very important to me.
Who's the lucky girl?
Wait, am I hearing Inul's song
playing at your place?
What do you mean?
Isn't that Inul's song?
Are you listening to her song now?
I see.
So she's the one
you've been talking about.
Oh, no, no. The thing is, I'm...
I'm okay. I'm fine.
It's Inul, right?
Just help me, okay?
Roger that!
Thanks, Des.
Anytime, Dam.
Hold on.
So, is this why you're taking me here?
Showing off?
What are you talking about?
You want to show me your new girl?
-Dam.
-Inul!
Come on, let her be.
How can I do that?
She has a huge misconception.
Yeah, I can see that clearly.
That's why she took off.
Exactly!
If she's upset, I need to
explain things to her to pacify her.
You can explain it to her later, Dam.
Don't do it now when she's upset.
Girls hate it when guys run after them
when they're pissed.
That'll just add fuel to her fire.
Then your explanation will be in vain.
-I'm a woman myself, right?
-So, what should I do?
Focus and calm down.
Call her later when you're calm too.
Then, ask her over for dinner
at your place.
For a girl, it's a sign of sincerity
when you take her to meet your family.
Focus and don't worry.
Nothing bad is happening. Okay?
Focus? How can I focus now?
You must talk to Inul
so that she will come over
and have dinner with your daddy.
So I can have the chance to tell her
that she doesn't need to be jealous
because there is really no reason to be.
Dad, chill, okay?
Well, just call then.
-Yes.
-Okay.
-All right, let me call her.
-All right.
Hello, Miss Inul!
How are you?
I'm great. How are you?
Everything's great here.
Miss Inul, you know how much
I miss you, right?
Why don't you come over?
Don't you miss me?
Well, I do.
But if I come over...
Nah.
Someone might get upset.
What? Who's going to be upset? Mas Ari?
No.
Has your dad never brought
his girlfriend over?
Hasn't he introduced her to you, Maura?
She's not Daddy's girlfriend.
Listen. If you really miss us,
then I'll be waiting for you here. Okay?
All right.
I'll come, but...
this is just for you.
Okay, I'll wait for you. Bye, Miss Inul.
Balki!
So, is the food ready?
-It's ready, Mas Dodi.
-It's ready.
Oh, right, Mas Dodi.
Anyway, what's the occasion?
Why so much food?
You don't know? We're about to have
a feast with Miss Inul.
Miss Inul?
Seriously?
Balki, of course!
Do I look like I'm kidding?
Oh! Can we take photos
of ourselves with Miss Inul?
Sure you can, on one condition.
-Condition?
-Yes.
What is it?
You just need to pay 100,000 per person.
-Pay?
-Pay?
Well, think of it like a fan meeting.
She's a big star, you know!
It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance,
but suit yourself!
Well, guys?
-Okay, we'll do it.
-You'll do it?
-Okay then.
-Then collect your money now.
-Hold a sec.
-That's more like it.
I bet the money's smelly from sweat.
Here. 1000.
Huh?
-2000...
-This is taking forever.
Photos with Miss Inul! Awesome!
So?
So?
I can do it now.
Show me.
This...
-You were like this, right?
-Keep moving. Yep.
Then...
Are you ready or not?
She could come at any moment.
I know. But I'm shaking, Des.
That makes me forget all the moves.
Then do it again, quick.
-Just the simple ones.
-Okay.
So, you sidestep like this.
One, two, three.
Let's just go in.
Hold on.
-Mas Ari!
-Oh my God, Miss Inul!
Can I park here?
Sure, you can park anywhere!
At the front,
on the left or right side, anywhere!
On a treetop. Even in the bathroom.
Anywhere!
-You're too much.
-Anything for you.
-That's it.
-I've been doing it wrong.
You...
Come on, Dam.
We've been practicing for a week.
You were doing well yesterday.
Why are you acting like
this is the first time for you?
It seems like
I've forgotten all the moves.
Dam.
I can't believe you're still so nervous
like this when it comes to women.
For Inul.
For Inul. Focus.
How are you, Miss Ari?
I'm good.
I'm actually seeing a famous singer now.
Can I have a photograph?
Come on, Mas Ari. Of course you can.
Which angle shot is that?
Miss Inul, anyway...
I heard you plan to release an album.
Yes.
So, any sneak peeks
as to what your album will be about?
I'll tell you now.
It's about romance.
With some melancholic twists.
Why melancholic?
Okay, let me just greet Mas Adam now.
Rotate.
Shoulder shake.
Dam, turn it off for a minute.
Move just your shoulders, not your arms.
Don't be so stiff.
Oh, that feels nice.
Hey, don't indulge yourself.
Oh, Inul.
Why didn't you tell me that
you were coming?
Yeah, I just missed this house
while passing by.
But I think...
my arrival here was...
rather untimely.
Miss Inul!
-My gosh, I've missed you!
-Yeah, me too.
Oh, almost forgot. I brought us some food.
Let me just prepare it in the kitchen.
No, please don't trouble yourself.
Let me do it instead.
You just sit tight.
I know exactly every room
in this house, like my own house.
Just like my own house.
What matters is that
the food gets served, right?
Perfect.
She's jealous.
Stop it.
It's so hot. Let me get changed first.
Why are you using this plate
instead of the other one?
The one with the blue flowers
and butterflies
and blue ribbons all around it.
Come on, hurry up.
What's wrong with it now? What is it...
Oh, Miss Inul.
-You know, it's like a daily drill.
-Ma'am, this one?
Oh my God, not that one!
Excuse me.
Not that one, the blue one.
They're stored over here.
Take them there.
Adam loves this one
when he's treating his guests.
That's what people like the most.
Careful.
The place has to be proper.
The plate had to be pre-ordered
a long time in advance.
Two years! Can you believe that?
I pre-ordered them as well.
The decorations are custom-made
specifically based on our request.
It's special.
It seems like you know
every inch of this house.
I used to help the family here
back when Adam's wife was still alive.
Anyway, when they tidied up things
or when they chose and decided on items
or just discussed them,
I used to contribute my own thoughts.
Just helping out, you know.
Stop, it's good enough.
Don't forget the glasses, okay?
Why don't you see Miss Inul?
I... I'm not sure what I should say to her.
It looks like my plan
has all fallen apart.
Everything's ruined.
It just made her take it the wrong way
even more.
No. It's not like that.
Besides, who was today's plan
made for anyway?
This is the D-day, Daddy.
You can't just back down.
Daddy. You don't need to be nervous.
Whatever you decide,
I'm sure it's for the best.
Perhaps...
nobody can replace Mommy in my heart.
Miss Inul's presence in your life,
in my life,
is something I won't mind at all.
Because I genuinely feel we're both
happy with her presence.
I definitely feel happy.
But nothing makes me happier than
knowing you feel the same way.
Go see her, please.
It's neat now, right?
What's the matter?
Roach!
No!
Roach!
Please, no!
Why it should be now?
-What's with this ruckus?
-Roach!
Roach!
-Where? It's not there anymore!
-It was right there!
It's not there now.
My God, you've never changed
with your c*ck phobia.
No! Ew!
Are you okay?
Are you all right?
-I'm scared! Oh!
-No, don't...
Miss Inul?
There was a c*ck.
-I was scared.
-Desi was scared.
Please wait a moment.
Miss Inul.
You're so good.
You really put your heart into your songs.
You're so melancholic that the tears
are flowing from your eyes.
-You're so multitalented.
-Wait, Inul!
-You're a great singer, Miss Inul.
-Inul!
Inul, wait!
Let bygones be bygones.
I can't do that.
There is a saying,
"Chase me, and I'll catch you."
But that's not the reality.
The fact is, the more you chase,
the more you can't catch it.
Let her be.
This dirty cloth!
Come on, just let her be.
I'm trying to run after her!
I know. Love is good,
but not when it's excessive.
Come on, please just let her be. Okay?
What matters is that you tried.
But now, you have to think about
your next step. What will you do?
I know.
I have to explain everything.
The number you have dialed is unreachable.
She's unreachable.
I bet she's still upset.
Mas Adam, don't be sad.
Don't be heartbroken. Stay strong.
Don't let yourself get stuck.
This world is not even
as wide as a moringa leaf.
There is a saying...
Which saying would you prefer?
Mas Ari, please.
You just keep silent, okay?
Okay. Silent.
Inul, why are you crying?
Is there a problem?
You're jealous.
Who are you to be jealous, Nul?
Remember, Nul.
Don't be like someone who misses her love
when her love is not reciprocated.
You are just Mr. Adam's
former personal assistant.
Please remember it.
You are already a famous singer.
There are still so many people
out there who want you.
Don't expect love
that you can't possibly get.
You have to be strong.
Don't be a crybaby.
Mas Dodi. Come here.
Come on, just a second.
Balki!
You keep pulling me!
Do you think I'm your wife?
-What is it anyway?
-Well...
I want to ask about that fan-meeting fee.
I collected a lot, you know.
So, I want a fee now.
Don't worry, Balki.
I'm a man who upholds human rights.
All right.
Taking away someone else's rights,
that's a sin.
That's right.
So, the sum that we managed to get,
I'll divide it in two.
-In two?
-Yes.
-Really?
-Yes.
Praise be to God.
So it's a deal?
-Awesome!
-Yeah!
One, two.
-Thank you.
-Huh?
You call this dividing in two? Mas Dodi!
Mas!
What the...?!
Two?!
Miss Inul?
-Yes.
-Please, come.
Why is this café so quiet?
A tycoon has reserved the place
for your private event, miss.
Then...
where's that tycoon?
He'll come later.
Please, have a seat.
I'll be waiting here.
Oh, Mas Ari?
I'm sorry, Miss Inul.
The tycoon hasn't come yet.
Yes, Mas Ari. I know.
The waitress told me that before.
All right then. I'll just wait.
Okay then.
I should go now.
Mas Ari, wait. Come here.
Is there...
any message from that someone?
Nothing, miss.
Okay, you may go.
The fans have all been gathered?
You're all here?
We will meet Miss Inul.
You're serious, right?
Well, we're not meeting your grandma!
Come, let's get in.
Hold on. I'm sorry, but the floor above
has to be cleared now.
Clear?
Why would it need to be cleared?
Mas Ari, I'm with the fans
who are eager to go upstairs.
Come on.
The concert in this café is private.
It's restricted.
He's just a clown.
Mas Ari, look at these fans of Miss Inul.
They've been waiting for ages.
-They could start a riot. Right, guys?
-Yeah!
What kind of café is this anyway?
I told you.
This is a private event.
So what now? Did you scam us?
-Return our money!
-Yeah, return our money!
Look at that pretty girl!
-Hey, Mas Dodi!
-Mas Dodi!
This is a private event. Your turn.
Roger.
-We want to go in!
-No! Stop!
Miss Inul, you may start singing.
The band is ready.
But there's no audience here.
Nobody.
Excuse me, miss. But this is the request
of the person who arranged
this private concert.
Please, miss.
I'm not sure about this.
Seriously.
You have to be sure.
-No, no.
-Hey!
Daddy, don't turn away now.
Don't make that week's-worth of effort
worth nothing. Focus.
Just relax. Relax.
-Come on!
-You go first.
Inul.
May I... enter your world?
Mas? Don't you have
your own world with Miss Desi?
A world with Desi?
Oh, no.
I'm just a family friend.
In fact, I helped Adam to sing
and dance
with his dangdut-style appearance.
That was me.
So I hope it's all clear to you now.
There's nothing between us.
That's right.
I just want to show you that I honestly
am being serious with you.
Even though...
I'm a lawyer,
that doesn't mean I don't have a heart.
It doesn't mean that I can't fall in love
with you, a dangdut singer.
Will you...
accept my love?
