Geng.

Will you help me reunite with your dad?

Is he still willing to accept you?

Of course, Geng.

He has a new family now, right Mom?

That is not true.

I don't believe it myself.

Dad told me himself.

He even introduced me to Jarot.

He once drove me and Jarot home.

You know, right?

Mrs. Sri is your replacement

in dad's house now.

No.

Your mother can't be replaced

by anyone. Okay?

Mom.

It's already happened.

Who is this?

New number?

This must be Mrs. Yuni.

No, no. I'm not interested in you.

Forget it.

Wait, what if

this is Sri's new number?

That means Tuti has conveyed my message.

Hi, honey.

Hello?

I'm Santoso, Education Department.

Mr. Santoso?

Mr. Santoso the principal?

I intend to get to

the bottom of this case,

therefore I need to know

your name.

Because you kept coming

to my office without revealing your name.

My name is Gunawan, sir.

Gunawan.

Why do you need my name anyway?

So, what is this going to be?

I don't care

whether this is a case,

a vase or a lace.

It's just that I've had

enough splitting headaches.

Please help me, okay?

I'm just asking you for a favor.

Just give me back my Sri.

I just want to be reunited with Sri.

That's all.

Hey, sir.

Why are you crying?

What's wrong with him?

He just hung up.

What if all this happened because of you?

Because of me?

Of course.

This is because you made

the Family Register as a condition.

So, everyone faces the consequences.

You have a point there.

It seems like the School Zoning regulation

causes some unwanted consequences.

One of them is about love.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you too.

Yes.

Dear.

Dear.

What a surprise, Ustad!

Sastro.

Ustad.

-How are you?

-I'm good.

Praise be to God.

Please come in, Ustad.

-Let's have a chat inside.

-Yes.

Please.

Please come in.

Let me explain our problem,

Ustad Soleh Bejo.

We have a problem

regarding our son.

I'm utterly perplexed

thinking about my son, Ustad.

Therefore, as his parents

we need your help

to do a blessing on our son.

Where is your son, whom I need to bless?

Well, that's the problem, Ustad.

Nowadays, it seems my son

can't stand staying in the house for long.

He's chasing after that woman everywhere.

Right, Ustad.

Our son is love-struck

by a widowed mother.

Exactly.

I've been pondering recently

and it seems like these days

we have so many unusual problems.

For example,

I have two patients, a newlywed couple.

The wife is a widow

and the husband is a widower.

They're a newlywed couple,

but they fight a lot.

They even intend to live separately now.

What if it's black magic, Ustad?

Speaking of which,

I truly believe my son is being charmed.

You can see how crazy he is about her.

Oh my God.

I suppose,

you can neutralize the charms effect, yes?

The truth is, I can do nothing, ma'am.

But God is omnipotent.

All we need to do is try

and ask for His help.

Beg for His help.

If God wills it

every problem can be solved.

God is great.

-Amen.

-May He will it.

Please, have a drink, Ustad.

Hey.

-Gembul?

-Miss Tuti?

When did you arrive?

Several days ago, miss.

I just haven't had the chance to see you.

Oh, no.

-Is Mrs. Bardi inside?

-She is, Miss.

I just met her myself.

-Okay, thank you.

-Yes.

Excuse me.

Mrs. Bardi.

Ma'am.

Mrs. Bardi.

Acting high and mighty, huh?

You don't respond

when I address you as "Mrs. Bardi."

Please don't do that, Tut.

Don't address me as "Mrs. Bardi".

Just call me "Sri".

It's the same.

Wait.

Stay still, let me look.

Hey, she didn't yank your hair, right?

She didn't pinch, right?

She didn't throw a pestle at you, right?

Sit down.

-You're ready?

-Yes, sure.

Why are you laughing

before spilling it out?

You should've come with me yesterday, Tut.

Why?

You should've seen her yesterday.

Simple house dress.

And her hair was

all messed up and in rollers.

When she opened the door

she was shocked to see me.

Like her jaw dropped for a minute.

For real?

It looked like she hadn't taken a shower,

so she hadn't done her eyebrows

or her eyelashes.

-You can imagine her look, right?

-Yes.

She must have looked very ugly.

And then,

I saw the Chairman and his wife

trailing me to Mrs. Yuni's house.

Stop. Okay, sir.

Thank you.

That pervert Chairman?

The one who first

hooked you up with Mr. Bardi?

That one?

Hey, keep it down.

Okay, so I deliberately

talked to her in a loud voice

so the Chairman

and his wife could hear me.

What if the Chairman

has a secret crush on you?

Oh God, please don't.

You're a lot prettier compared to Yuni,

so, no wonder

-Yuni gave you this look.

-Mom.

Oh, Miss Tuti.

Hey, honey.

Hi, handsome boy.

Mom, what time do we go?

Oh my. Let's go now, okay?

Hey, are you guys going to your house?

Yes, Tut. I need to check on my house.

It's been quite some time since I left.

Besides, it's Sunday.

Jarot is on a holiday.

Well, let's go together then.

-Okay. She can go with us, right?

-Of course, Mom.

-Let's inform Mr. Bardi first.

-Yes.

Just call him "honey."

"Mr. Bardi" is so formal.

Come on.

Sir, I'll take my leave.

Oh, sure.

Okay, have fun and take care.

Yes, sir.

Miss Sri.

If there's anything wrong,

please tell me, okay?

Don't keep it to yourself.

That's not good for you.

Yes, sir.

I mean it.

-Yes, sir.

-Don't hesitate to tell me.

Yes, sir.

I'll take my leave now, sir.

Yes.

Let's go, Tut.

Yes.

Oh, I thought I got poked?

Guess not, huh?

Okay, bye.

-Take care.

-Bye.

Jarot. Bye, honey.

Yes, Miss Tuti. Bye.

-Bye.

-Take care of your mom.

Yes, ma'am.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you too.

Ustad.

Open the gate, Jarot.

Yes, Mom.

Hold on.

Oh my God!

Look, Mom!

Oh, no.

Our house is in total chaos!

What's going on here?

Who did this, Mom?

I don't know.

Rest assured, I'll always be ready.

Whatever you need me to do, I'll be ready.

Ustad, can you please switch the music

to something more religious?

Stay out of this.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you too, sir and ma'am.

Is Mr. Bardi here?

He's inside. Please come in.

What about Mrs. Bardi? Is she here?

Mrs. Bardi and Jarot have gone home.

What do you mean "home"?

This is Mrs. Sri's home, right?

I mean, they went to her house.

Please, come in.

Hold on.

-What is it?

-This is bad, Ustad.

I think what we've been

worrying about all this time is true.

The newlywed couple is having issues.

They had an argument, the wife was upset,

and she went to her parents' house.

Right?

What do we have to do, Ustad?

We can't delay this anymore.

The blessing needs to be done.

Yes, Ustad.

-Come.

-Come.

Excuse me, sir.

You have visitors.

The Chairman, his wife, and Ustad.

Oh, send them in please.

-Here they are.

-Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you too, Mr. Chairman.

How are you? I hope you're good?

Praise be to God, I'm good.

This is Ustad Soleh.

You remember him, don't you?

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you too.

-Please, have a seat.

-Yes.

Mr. Bardi,

the Ustad is ready to help you

with whatever your

problem is with Mrs. Bardi,

so that you can get a blessing.

Yes.

I came here solely with the intention

to give a blessing,

but I was informed

that Mrs. Bardi is currently not here.

Yes.

So, Ustad

what bad timing it is, that Miss Sri

I mean, Mrs. Bardi has left

to check on her house.

It's okay, Mr. Bardi.

You don't need to make excuses anymore,

just tell us the truth.

Consider us like relatives now.

-Right, Dear?

-Well, you see

I'm not making excuses, ma'am.

I'm telling the truth.

Listen, Mr. Bardi.

It's really okay.

We all understand very well

that a newlywed couple like you

must have lots of issue to deal with,

especially when you are both widows.

Right, Ustad?

"Innallaha Ma'ashobirin."

That means,

God is with those who are patient.

But please understand this, Ustad.

You see,

how can Mr. Bardi be patient?

His wife is so pretty.

And still so young.

Don't worry, Mr. Bardi.

I will do my best to help you

by asking for God's help.

I will try,

by praying for His generosity.

If God wills it

your marriage with Mrs. Bardi

will stay in love, harmony, and peace.

Amen.

And may you both beget children.

Amen.

Thank you.

Dear,

where is that package for Mr. Bardi?

-The Arabian honey, right?

-Yes.

Please, accept this gift.

What is this?

This is Arabian honey.

Just give it a try, please.

You'll be unstoppable with that.

This?

Yes, it works wonders.

I've personally tried it with

Yes, thank you.

Minak Jenggo.

All positions are a pleasure.

I'm positive

I can get you back, Sri.

Even the principal is helping me now.

Mr. Santoso will surely help me.

SRI, I WANT TO JUST TALK WITH YOU CALMLY

Ustad,

why don't you

come over to our place?

-Yes, sir.

-We can talk over coffee.

Thank you for the offer, Mr. Chairman.

I'm afraid I can't do it now,

I already have an appointment.

I'll drop by your place next time.

Let us arrange the schedule

With the newlywed couple?

-Yes.

-Alright.

Sir.

Just stop here.

Oh.

-Thank you, sir.

-Thank you.

Good morning, Mrs. Yuni.

Morning.

Is Mr. Bardi here?

He's here, ma'am.

Wait.

You don't need to

inform him that I'm here.

I can find my way in.

Bardi.

You're here alone?

Where is Sri?

Oh, I forgot.

Seriously, I forgot

that Sri is not actually your wife.

Instead, she's just putting on an act.

Right?

What do you want?

I just miss you.

You never answer my calls.

Don't ignore my calls, okay?

Because there's nothing left to discuss.

On the contrary, there's a lot.

A lot.

Whatever.

Yes, I admit

I did make

a grave mistake.

But, think about this

who

on earth

has never committed any mistake?

I want us to be together again.

Like in the old days.

Back together.

I'm doing all this for Ageng.

He will be so heartbroken,

if he finds out that

you're behaving this way to me.

For Ageng?

Had Ageng not yet been born at that time?

He was already in his adolescence.

He was about to enroll into junior high

when you left me.

Going after Hermawan to Jakarta.

Honey.

That was then.

And then

I apologized to you.

You forgave me as well.

-Yes.

-Then, please forget about it.

I did forgive you,

but I can never forget that.

For Ageng.

You know, I still love you.

Also, Ageng and me

will come back to live in this house,

together with you.

Ever since I broke up with Sri,

my life is in turmoil.

Everything's falling apart.

Nobody believes me.

Huh.

That's Sri!

This is what I call fate.

It means Tuti has relayed my message.

Rot, you need to wait right here.

Wait for a moment.

Hey.

I want to talk to you.

Please talk, Sri.

I also long to hear you talk to me.

-g*n.

-What?

Has Tuti relayed my message to you?

-Message?

-Yes.

No.

She didn't say anything to me.

Then, why are you

Why did you vandalize my house?

How do you know?

See, I knew it.

You're the one who vandalized my house!

What was your intention, huh?

What did you want?

Oh, I know.

You must have been

looking for that statement

of my fake marriage with Mr. Bardi, right?

Yes.

For what?

For what?

You were going to give it

to Mrs. Yuni, weren't you?

Weren't you?

So, this time you're the one

who is spreading rumors

about me and Mr. Bardi

to Mrs. Yuni, right?

Sri.

It was for us, and our future.

Did you just say "us"?

You can't even understand Jarot,

how can you expect to understand "us"?

All this while, I've been trying to

defend you in front of Jarot.

But, it turns out

Sri.

Sri, give me one more chance!

I will fix all of this!

I will prove myself to you!

Sri.

Jarot.

Sri.

Another epic failure.

Why are you smiling, Mom?

What is it?

I'll tell you, Ageng.

Earlier

I met your dad.

And?

I told him honestly,

that you and I are ready to

move back home to your dad' house

to live together,

the three of us

just like the good old days.

Did he say "yes"?

Did he agree?

Not yet, Geng.

He hasn't said anything yet.

These things need time.

You can't rush things like this.

That means he rejects the idea, Mom.

Why are you being

This is like two people

getting into a relationship.

There's a process to everything.

You can't express your love

in the first meeting.

I thought having a crush on someone

involves two innocent people.

They're still pure in each other's eyes.

But for Dad,

you already have this huge sin, Mom.

What's the matter with you, Geng?

You've never supported your mom.

That's it, I've had enough!

Excuse me.

Forged?

Yes, ma'am.

What do you think, dear?

So, it's true?

Mr. Bardi's marriage

is indeed problematic.

Why don't you just calm down and be quiet?

What makes you say it's forged?

Their marriage is a fake one.

How is it fake?

They got married in the

Religious Affairs Office.

They received the Certificate of Marriage.

So, if you're telling me it's fake,

I wonder where you heard that from?

Someone reported that to me, sir.

His name is Gunawan.

Gunawan?

Do you know this Gunawan?

Who is Gunawan?

Gunawan came to my office

claiming that he is Sri's boyfriend.

Sri, the mother of Jarot.

Oh, her boyfriend.

He repeatedly came to my office

always talking about Sri.

This is one serious allegation,

to claim that the marriage

of Mr. Bardi and Mrs. Bardi

is a fake marriage.

Do you have the evidence?

Gunawan claims to have the evidence.

What is the evidence?

He hasn't obtained it yet.

Then what do you expect?

There's evidence,

but you don't have any of it?

Then why are you even here?

I came here, because I need your help

in determining who's right

and who's wrong, sir.

I think

Mr. Principal,

in order to clarify everything

why don't we summon them all here?

She's a smart one, right?

You're right, ma'am.

That's what I'm trying to say.

We gather everyone,

along with the witnesses.

You can contact Mr. Gunawan,

and we will contact Mr. and Mrs. Bardi.

Hold on.

What about Mrs. Yuni?

She's not needed.

Why is she not needed?

You will have nothing

to do with Mrs. Yuni!

Who's Mrs. Yuni anyway?

Mr. Bardi's ex-wife.

And she's more than willing to have

a polygamous marriage.

Oh my goodness.

So, along with the Ustad

coming to do some blessings,

Yuni also came here.

Mrs. Yuni?

She knows

about our drama.

I'm really sorry, sir.

This is all because of my carelessness.

Careless?

What do you mean?

That day

Gunawan came to my house,

and he lashed out at me

because he found out that

we faked a marriage.

He also found out about

that marriage statement I signed

with you.

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit lost.

Who is Gunawan?

He's

Gunawan is

So, he is

the guy who

persistently tried to woo me.

I see.

So, Gunawan is your boyfriend?

No, no, sir!

Gunawan and I don't share any relation.

Honestly?

I'm being honest, sir!

So, this is like

Well

So, Gunawan and I

are friends, but

we were close, sir.

This close, or

this close?

Close, but not this close, sir!

Honestly?

I'm being frank, I don't have

a romantic relation with him.

Besides, I officially rejected him.

Why?

Why did you reject him?

Is he ugly?

No, it's not that.

Well, I'm not really interested in

a shallow relationship.

Okay.

Blessing?

What did I do wrong

to get a stupid blessing?

Just relax.

This is for your future.

I don't want it, Dad.

No way!

Your dad and I are stressed out

thinking about you.

If you want my problem solved right away

that's easy.

How is it easy?

Just marry me off with Sri.

Listen, he's uttering nonsense.

You're asking to get married off,

while you need to get a blessing?

That's the only solution.

Because Sri is my one true love, Mom.

Hold on.

Is this Sri, that widow with one child?

Just allow me to bring Sri here,

so I can introduce her to you.

If you know Sri better

I bet you'll agree to this 100%.

You know, I still love you.

Ageng and I

will move back into this house

to live together with you.

Your relationship with Bardi

is a fake one.

A drama.

I don't care, you will nullify

this statement right now!

-I can't do that!

-Nullify it!

No, I can't.

I'm doing this for Jarot's sake.

You must have been looking for that

statement of my fake marriage

with Mr. Bardi, right?

Yes.

You were going to give it

to Mrs. Yuni, weren't you?

Weren't you?

The Marriage Certificate

and book are here.

But where is that statement

between me and Mr. Bardi?

It's game over, if it's missing.

Okay, try to remember.

Where did I put it?

What is it now, Mom and Dad?

Your dad has decided

to do this your way, g*n.

Okay?

Now, calm down.

I'll tell you what.

When can you bring Sri here?

Bring Sri here?

You mean you've finally

given your consent to my relation?

Are you serious, Dad?
