01x09 - Parallels

Post by bunniefuu »

Why were you there last night?

Even the wardens got there too.

Now, everyone thinks
I asked you to report it.

This is my school.
You don't have to interfere!

What were you guys doing all along?

Naim.

Hey, Naim. Stop.

I don't care. I need you to tell me now.

What do you want from me?

I want to know why your face
is always covered in bruises.

I want to know why you always fight.

What are you trying to prove?

That you're strong?

Not feminine like your dad?

Is this how you prove it?

What about you?
What are you trying to prove?

Try asking yourself what you want.

Mia, you got the offer.

Your car is ready. Why are you still
in this shabby dining hall?

Why didn't you leave?

Because you know when you leave,

you have to make your own decision.

Whatever happens then
is your responsibility.

I know you're afraid of that. Right?

I'm a coward.

But do you know why

I'm still here?

It's because of you, Naim.

I love you.

Don't you understand?

I just want to know

if you feel the same way about me at all.

I'll leave.
I won't interfere with your life anymore.

No.

Not even a bit.

Naim.

-Are you serious?
-Who are you?

If my own parents can't accept me,

why would you?

Sir. Ma'am.

What did the doctor say?
Is he awake? Can I see him now?

Fakhri.

Do you think we believe
that he just fell down the stairs?

And your face! What happened?

Fakhri!

Kahar.

Why was the High Council established?

It was because

of them.

To keep our demon in check.

I saw my demon last night, Hakeem.

I looked at Fakhri.

I thought of k*lling him.

But I'm scared now, Hakeem.

I'm afraid I might have k*lled Ayam.

Kahar.

Ayam, Hakeem.

If I couldn't control my own demon,

why did I think

I could keep you guys in check?

Hello, Dad.

Are you free tomorrow?

What happened, Mr. Sin?

I don't know what bad luck
has fallen upon the school this year.

I've told you, Mr. Sin.

The Alumni have warned me.

Mr. Yusof.

Kahar!

Did you see what you did to Ayam?

I asked you. Did you see it?

Hey! Answer me, you demon!

Answer me!

Is he okay?

Bullshit.

-You b*stard!
-Hey!

Tuah House, is everyone here?

Yes, sir.

Kasturi House, is everyone here?

We're all here, sir.

Fifty-one.

Where's one more?

He's in the hospital.

Njet-Steng, everyone.

I said Njet-Steng.

Hey, do it! Are you deaf?

Fakhri, what happened to Ayam?

I don't know.

Is he in a coma?

I...

-I don't...
-I'm afraid he'll be paralyzed.

What happens if he dies?
Won't this be a police case?

He won't say anything
about the scuffle, right?

I can't imagine if he dies.

-Did he die?
-You must know, Fakhri.

-Tell us now, Fakhri.
-Answer now, Fakhri.

-You must know.
-Tell us, Fakhri!

-Fakhri!
-Just say it, Fakhri!

Fakhri, you're his best friend.

Hey!

I said I know nothing!

Why are you still up?

You brats, go back to your room!

I have some news.

Your father and I...

We've decided

to get a divorce.

What?

Why so sudden?

I'll tell you later.

What's important now is that

we need to go to court to reopen the case

-for custody over Fakhri...
-Wait.

Wait, Mom.

What do you mean?

-Naim, listen to...
-No! You listen to me!

What has Fakhri done
for you all this time?

Who stayed loyal to you?
Who took care of your fragile heart?

For years, I've tried

to change myself to be different from Dad.

To the point that I hate to see his face.

So I tried to be like Father,

the man you chose.

I entered this stupid school
so I could be like him!

And now, you say

you want to leave him too?

Naim, it's him.

Mom, the thing is,

who else should I try to be
for you to notice me?

Am I never enough for you?

What's wrong, Dad?

SYARIAH HIGH COURT

AGAINST IDAH AND FIRDAUS ISMET

We won't run this time, Fakhri.

You were right all along.

Your mom doesn't care about us.

Because of her, our life became like this.

And because of her, our life was ruined.

We ran before.

This time, we're staying to fight.

Mia.

Wait.

You're Naim, right?

Here.

Mia asked me to pass this on to you.

Mia!

Mia!

Naim, stop.

-Move!
-Naim, it's not ours.

Naim.

This is someone else's.

Naim?

Are you okay?

Naim?

Naim.

Why are you having trouble
breathing earlier?

Naim.

It's okay.

That doesn't change anything.

Naim.

Naim.

Nor Naim, wait!

I don't understand
why you're treating me like this!

Your mom wanted the divorce!
Your mom broke our family!

Why are you so mad at me?

We had a plan, Dad!

Yes, we have to stay with Mom,

but we could still meet each other
once in a while.

But you couldn't even do that!

Your favorite child ran back to you.

Then you decided that Fakhri was enough.

Just Fakhri was enough?

Who am I then, Dad?

Have you never wanted me all this time?

Dad, look at me when I'm speaking to you!

Dad.

Is it that hard for you
to look at your own reflection?

Naim,

you do know that

you can talk to me about anything.

Is it about Fakhri?

Or about Mia?

Mia is gone.

I'm not trying to make you feel worse.

But

I told you so.

What's your problem?

What's your issue with me?

Why can't you be happy about me and Mia?

Why are you so obsessed with me?

-Naim.
-You know how it felt.

So now, you're g*y?

Do you have feelings for me?

Mr. Fakhri.

Why did you run away
from your mother's house?

Mr. Fakhri,
every question asked in this room

has to be answered
in order to help the case.

Sir.

During that incident,

he was still young.

He was only nine years old.

Nine years old?

In cases like this, the court

usually emphasizes the child's experience,

especially if he has
already reached mumayyiz.

If he had already turned nine that year,

actually, he had the right to choose.

-Sir, I'm the one that...
-Ma'am.

I didn't find any police report

regarding Fakhri's disappearance.

Did you not lodge a report?

Did you receive
any phone calls from your ex-wife

asking about your son's well-being?

No.

Pass me the phone, Naim.

Sir, I...

I want to submit new evidence.

Here. You can see for yourself.

This is the product of being raised
under the care of Fakhri's dad.

It's not just that.

Fakhri got involved in other fights.

My eldest son is a witness.

Mr. Firdaus, do you have
any intention to withdraw this claim?

No, sir.

If so,

this case has to be referred to the court.

-What are you looking for?
-A business card of a lawyer.

We can't afford a lawyer, Dad.

It's okay, Fakhri.

I'll sell my shabby car.

-I'll sell whatever I have.
-Dad.

If it's still not enough,
I'll borrow from a loan shark.

-I don't give a sh*t anymore.
-Dad!

Enough, Dad.

I can't afford to lose you again.

Why is this happening, Fakhri?

I'm tired of all this.

Mom, Naim, us.

Why has it come to this, Fakhri?

I'm tired of this, Fakhri.

I'm so tired.

I'm so tired.

Ayam.

Wake up.

The last time we talked,

you called me all sorts of names.

You can't just leave me after that.

Ayam, please wake up.

I understand now

that during the movie night,

you chased after me, searched for me,

and insulted me with all kinds of names

because you wanted to help me.

You wanted to save me, but I was stupid.

I'm an idiot, Ayam.

A fool...

Wake up, Ayam.

Everything you say about me is true, Ayam.

Everything I touched was destroyed.

Look what I did to you, Ayam.

The things I did to my family.

I...

I need you, Ayam. Please wake up.

Wake up, Ayam.

Please help me, Ayam.

I...

I just couldn't stand

ruining things, Ayam.

Please wake up.

Who brought you here?

You?

Me too.

I...

I don't want to make my dad wait.
I'll go first.

I was at a hospital.

My brother.

I know you don't know me, Fakhri.

But I hope you'll listen to me.

Regarding you and Naim's manifesto.

What do you want?

I want to ask you

to stop all this.

What are you waiting for?

We don't even have to wait for Kahar.

I'm ready.

I don't want to fight you.

I...

I don't want to proceed
with our manifesto.

After what you did to my life,

you decided that's it?

You left me and Mom.

You broke all of our promises.

Then you came into my room

and you decided that's it?

I used to think

it was a good thing
this kid ran away from home.

So that Mom only has one son.

Mom could focus more on me.

Maybe she would finally love me.

And maybe

she would finally notice me.

But no.

You couldn't stay put.

You came back!

You came here to KUDRAT.

You came back into my life.

And what did you do?

You did the exact same thing.

You took away everything in my life!

You took Mom! You took Dad!

You took my place in this school!

And then,

you came in here
to take our manifesto away.

I only live for that, Fakhri.

The chance to ruin your life.

If you win, what will you do?

You, yourself, don't...

You don't even agree

with this High Council bullshit.

Who said I wanted to win?

I want to k*ll you.

I don't want to wait any longer.

-We'll fight tonight.
-Naim.

Wardens are too alert now.

We'll do it in the forest.

Are you serious?

You want to force me?

If you're manly enough.

Okay.

Naim.

I've thought about what you said to me.

I was mad at you
because you were not being honest with me,


but I just realized

that I was not
being honest with myself either.


All along,
I've used every excuse in this world


to run from being responsible for myself.

Thank you for making me realize it.

So I'll leave

to be responsible for my life,

starting with that scholarship interview.

I don't know
if you still want to see me or not.


But if I get this scholarship,

I'll keep my promise to you.

I wait for you there, Naim.

Naim, I pray that you'll find

everything you're searching for
in your life.


I just hope

while searching for what you want,

you won't get lost.

Naim.

It's not too late

to stop all this.

Enough, Naim!

Enough!

What are you doing, as*h*le?

Fight back!

No, Naim.

I don't want to fight you.

as*h*le, get up!

Enough!

Enough, Naim! What else do you want?

You won. You won and I lost!

This idiot will be your leader next year.

He's your leader next year.
Do you understand?

I'm...

I'm out, Naim. I've had enough.

Enough, Naim.

Screw this leader bullshit!

Mr. Sin, everyone is here
except for the Form 4 students.

Prakash.

Hey! Hit me, you b*stard!

Naim.

I don't want to fight you, Naim.

I don't want to fight you.

Hit me, you b*stard!

Look at him!

Look how someone would always run

if you were raised by a sissy!

You asked for this, b*stard.

You ruined my life!

Mom's life! Dad's life!

This school is ruined because of you!

Ayam got admitted because of you!

Our family

is ruined because of you!

You did all this!

It's you!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes, everything you said is true!

Everything you said is true!

I'm stupid! I'm a coward! I'm a destroyer!

Everything I touch is ruined, Naim.

I destroyed everything I touched, Naim.

Ayam is in a coma because of me.

I broke our promises.

I ran. Dad's life is ruined.

Our family is ruined.

All of our lives are ruined, Naim.

Destroyed. I know you hate me, Naim.

I know you hate me, Naim.

Because I hate myself too!

I hate myself, Naim.

I ruined and destroyed everything.

I ruined it.

Everything I touched was destroyed!

Destroyed, Naim!

-Destroyed...
-Enough, Fakhri!

Fakhri!

-I'm a ruiner.
-Enough, Fakhri.

Enough!

Naim.

Naim.

Naim.

Naim.

Naim.

Naim.

Naim.

Naim.

Naim, wake up.

Wake up, Naim.

Naim, open your eyes.

Naim. Wake up.

Naim.

Naim!

Naim! Wake up, Naim.

Wake up, Naim.

Don't touch me!

-Fakhri.
-Wake up, Naim. Naim.

Wake up, Naim.

Wake up, Naim!

Go away!

Wake up, Naim.

Wake up, Naim!

Wake up, Naim! Please.

Help...

Help. Naim, wake up.

Naim.

Naim. Wake up.

Naim.

Sir.

Sir, please help my brother.

Please help my brother, sir.
