[solemn music playing]

[approaching footsteps]

[Lebas] Rum?

[exhales heavily]

[murmurs]

Arum.

It's okay.

[Arum sniffles]

[both crying]

I'm so sorry, Rum.

No, Mom.

[both sobbing]

[theme music playing]

BASED ON NOVEL BY RATIH KUMALA

CIGARETTE GIRL

- [Raja wheezing]

- [heart machine beeping]

[Tegar] Dad. Dad, what happened?

- [Raja] Jeng Yah.

- Dad! Dad, Dad!

Tegar. Call the doctor.

Calm down, Dad. Calm down.

I didn't know, Jeng Yah.

I didn't know.

[crying]

[Raja] Please, believe me.

[gasping]

Mr. Djagad was the one

who added Mr. Idroes' name on the list.

Djagad did it.

[gasping]

[Raja crying]

[Purwanti] Put the table there, please.

- Yes, Ma'am.

- Oh, and please clear out

- the children's things.

- [woman] Yes. Ma'am, right away.

[Purwanti] Thanks.

[indistinct background chatter]

Darling.

The only room left

to be cleaned up is yours.

I still have some work to do.

[Purwanti] It won't take long.

You need to empty your desk

before we can box it.

Guys.

- [Purwanti] Tegar, Karim.

- [loud rattling]

Come on. Don't play there. Come on.

Please, could you help the children?

[objects rattling, rumbling]

[mysterious music playing]

[Raja] I make an effort

to keep it a secret.

But the guilt never leaves.

INVITATION

I can't lie to myself any longer.

I have to explain everything

that actually happened.

This confession letter

will be solid proof.

And maybe,

I'll end up in jail as a result of it.

Or even worse

dead.

M CITY, 1973

[car door closes]

TOBACCO WAREHOUSE

Thank you for agreeing to meet with me.

This is important

for Dasiyah.

How's your business going, Mr. Soeraja?

Is it going well? Hm?

I'm asking for your help.

Please give this to Dasiyah.

This is hers.

I'll tell you what,

you still have a lot of guts.

After your activities with that party

caused Dasiyah to be arrested

and her father to die.

I was never involved with that party.

Not once.

Then explain to me

how your name wasn't on that damn list.

Huh? I'll tell you why.

Because someone was protecting you.

[tense music playing]

If Djagad could protect you,

then it means he could have added

Mr. Idroes's name on that list, too.

I

You and Djagad came to a mutual agreement.

You even went so far

as to marry his daughter

in order to maintain your position

in his family and his business.

Superb.

Please give this to Dasiyah.

This is evidence

so she may reclaim all I possess.

I hope that you know

even after providing us with this proof,

Dasiyah and her entire family

will continue to consider you

as a traitor till your last breath.

They'll never forgive you.

[emotional music playing]

It appears you are still unable

to let the past go.

I can't believe it.

[Raja] A lot of innocent people died

because of you.

They died because of us, Raja.

You and me.

You're wrong.

It was your close relationship

to the party

that actually gave me the opportunity.

And I find it fascinating

that after this point,

you haven't once mentioned that.

Idroes may have been innocent.

Why? Because you were supposed

to be arrested.

I can set things right, though.

- [Raja] Now.

- [scoffs]

Even if it means losing everything.

Me and you

have to bear the consequences.

Forget it. Come on.

You and I are family now, Raja.

You should only be focusing

on your new life in Jakarta right now.

You've earned it as a reward

for all your hard work and effort.

To succeed,

you have to endure sacrifices.

But if you still insist on interfering

with your past, well,

the ones who will suffer the most are

the rest of the Idroes family.

[Raja] Mr. Djagad was right.

[sobbing]

Mr. Idroes was k*lled that night

because of my actions.

[sobbing]

Forgive me, Jeng.

[crying]

Mom?

Let me go call the doctor.

[Raja continues crying]

[objects clank]

Your boyfriend is sleeping, Rum.

Mom, stop.

[Arum] He's not my boyfriend.

How did he know

that my favorite candy was ginger?

He said that the first time he met you

you asked for ginger candy.

Where did you two first meet?

Over at the Kretek Museum, Mom.

He went there to learn more

about the kretek industry.

Why does his face look so familiar?

Ma'am.

I'm sorry, I must've dozed off.

I wanted to apologize

for what happened the other day.

My memory isn't as good as it used to be.

Ma'am, it's all good.

So, tell me, how I can help you?

I know someone who's been looking for

Jeng Yah.

I haven't heard that name in a long time,

you know.

And it's time for me

to tell you the full story of Jeng Yah.

Your mother.

[soft music playing]

[old Rukayah]

When your grandma passed away,

we could only rely on each other

to survive.

M CITY, 1973

DJAGAD RAJA OFFICIALIZED IN JAKARTA

Dasiyah had a lot of hardships

when she was imprisoned.

She would never show her sorrow.

But I knew.

I could only encourage her

so that she could move on with her life.

Dasiyah, it's time to let him go

and move on.

I did.

Okay, if you're being honest,

then you should learn

to open your heart to someone else.

[car approaching]

- Hello, Ru!

- [Rukayah] Good afternoon!

- [Seno] Let me

- [Rukayah] You brought something?

[Seno] Yeah. Groceries.

[Rukayah] There are so many.

[Seno chuckles]

You'll stay for dinner, right?

Well, uh

Yeah. Sure.

I bought so much food anyway

that it's probably good thing

we dine together so nothing goes to waste.

All right, I'll go make dinner.

Uh, Seno, you can wait with my sister.

[Dasiyah] Thank you for the food, Seno.

You've been really nice to us.

And I know

that you're risking your life.

Truth be told,

I'd really like your permission,

Dasiyah, to do much more than this.

Since I was a little child,

I've always been told

not to accept things freely

but to obtain them

by the sweat of my brow.

[Dasiyah] I have to work, Seno.

You're welcome to work

at my father's factory, Yah.

[Seno] Creating flavors.

That type of work isn't what I want to do.

[Dasiyah] I can't make

kretek flavors anymore.

And besides,

it's too risky for a factory to hire

someone like me who's on the blacklist.

Actually, I know

a way to get around that list.

Dasiyah, just consider this

to be a token of my gratitude.

Seno.

I found this in the bag. Is it yours?

Oh, yeah.

I accidentally brought it. Thank you.

[Rukayah] Sure.

Dasiyah,

you don't have to worry about a thing.

[Seno] I'll take care of everything.

[old Rukayah] Seno managed

to persuade his father

to employ my sister

as a secret flavor maker.

[car stops]

For all everyone knew,

Eko was the flavor maker for Boekit Klapa.

- Ru.

- Hi.

This is Eko.

- Eko.

- Rukayah.

Eko.

- [Eko] Ru.

- Excuse me.

[old Rukayah] Seno brought all

the necessary supplies

and tools to create the flavors.

[exciting music playing]

What do you think?

You'll find all

the ingredients over there.

- [Eko] Here, Rukayah.

- Oh, thank you.

I'm going upstairs.

[old Rukayah]

My sister never stopped working.

She was always trying to make new recipes.

[gentle music playing]

But she believed

they were always a failure.

[soft music playing]

She kept herself busy

to keep her mind occupied.

But it wasn't enough.

[uplifting music playing]

[Dasiyah coughs]

- [coughs]

- [Seno] Dasiyah.

Sorry for waking you.

[clears throat]

May I?

Kretek Gadis?

It's sweet.

Men say that homemade cigarettes are sweet

with the sole reason that women

have to roll them with their lips.

This kretek probably

tastes different than it used to.

I think I may have lost

all of my skills, you know?

You haven't lost anything at all, Dasiyah.

I promise that you're still

the same person you are

when I first met you.

[brooding music playing]

If you would like to be my wife

I would definitely be

the happiest man in the world.

Please allow me to protect you

from the agony

of what you have experienced before.

- [male minister] Valid?

- Yes.

[old Rukayah] My sister's wedding

with Seno was held in secret.

Even Seno's family didn't come.

As a soldier,

Seno should not have married my sister

because her name was on the list.

But Seno didn't care.

- Thank you, Ru.

- [Rukayah] You're welcome.

[old Rukayah] Regardless of the reasons

that led my sister to marry him,

I knew my mother would be happy

that my sister decided to move on.

For me, that was all that mattered.

[soft music playing]

But not long after that,

Seno was entrusted with putting down

the insurgency in Irian Jaya.

[somber music playing]

Actually, I'm still wondering to this day

[Seno] You take care of yourself.

why did Seno have to leave

[engine starts]

only a few months after the wedding?

[soft music playing]

[male soldier 1] Is this Captain

Seno Aji's residence?

Yeah.

We were instructed

to bring his belongings to his house.

[male soldier 1] Please.

DEATH CERTIFICATE

SENO AJI,

INDONESIAN NATIONAL ARMED FORCES

[old Rukayah] Two weeks later,

we found out that Seno died

in the line of duty.

His belongings were sent back home.

It was too much for us.

[somber music playing]

[Rukayah crying]

- [sewing machine clanking]

- [Dasiyah vomits]

[Dasiyah coughs]

Yah?

[old Rukayah] A month later,

Dasiyah found out that she was pregnant.

What's wrong, Yah?

[Rukayah] Keep pushing. Don't stop, Yah.

- [Rukayah] Come on, come on!

- [Doula] Thank God.

- [Rukayah] Yah, it's over. You did it!

- [baby Arum crying]

[old Rukayah] And when you were born,

it was the happiest day of our lives.

Arum.

You put a smile back

on my sister's face that day

and gave her a fresh hope.

Rum, you were the one

she loved the most in this world

from the moment you were born.

[somber music playing]

I'm just now realizing

the reason you look

so familiar to me, young man.

The way you smile makes me remember

a friend from my younger days

who also happened

to like ginger candy like me.

By the time you were born,

my sister had already

returned home and received

her long-awaited freedom.

However, as soon as

she was released from prison

she realized that

she wouldn't be able to go on.

Her soul had long been frozen

with little hope of thawning it.

I know this is very hard for you, Rum.

Do you want to sit down first?

Or do you want to go home?

I can go get my car.

And what about going

to Bali?

Italy? France?

- Stop it, Bas.

- Rome?

Bas, enough.

I don't need to go anywhere.

I feel better.

Well, as long as you're happy, Rum.

It's funny, isn't it?

Only a few days ago,

we didn't even know

of each other's existence.

And you are the only human being

who can understand me now.

Well

it's funny, yeah.

And I do understand that you want

to know what really happened.

On the other hand,

when you finally know the whole truth,

you're terrified to confront it.

Did I offend you?

Good morning, Mr. Eko.

Arum!

[Eko chuckles]

Oh.

- Come on in!

- Hi, sir.

[Eko] Ayu!

Please, make tea for our guests.

Do you want to eat something as well?

No, it's okay. We had breakfast already.

- Oh.

- Thank you.

[Lebas] Quite a collection you have.

Oh.

[chuckles]

It's just a hobby of mine.

[Eko] I put them on display like this

to make it simple

for visitors to look at them.

Arum, for example,

has always enjoyed looking

at my collection since she was a child.

Her mother is the exact opposite.

Sweetheart, what happened to you?

Well

[clicks tongue]

to be honest with you,

every time you come here,

I've always mentally prepared myself

for the possibility that this will occur.

But

I didn't expect

that would be today.

[Eko] Miss Dasiyah taught me everything.

I started out as her assistant.

Here, Rukayah.

M CITY, 1974

[Eko] She always made sure

she could provide for her child.

[Rukayah] Sure, thank you.

- Eko.

- Yes?

Please, can you help me mix this one?

Yes, Miss.

[Eko] After Seno passed away,

Mr. Tira laid Miss Dasiyah off.

Dasiyah, look here.

[Eko] She eventually convinced me

to make our own kretek business.

The new kretek flavor.

And also,

I even had the opportunity

to open my own kretek factory.

You have a kretek factory?

[Eko laughs]

No, I don't have a factory.

[Eko] Just a small-scale industry.

Kembang Setaman. Here.

[Eko] I don't have employees.

But if I have a large number

of kretek orders like I have right now,

well, I call these ladies.

- Hello.

- Here's our guests.

- Don't mind us, okay?

- [woman chuckles]

[Eko chuckles]

[Eko] Well

what matters,

we make enough money to get by.

All of this is thanks to your aunt.

So Miss Dasiyah was some kind

of partner of Kembang Setaman?

[Eko] I guess so.

But she always refused to be one.

She said that if she

remembered all

of her previous experiences,

she would rather not become

a partner of this business.

So the only thing I can really do is

make sure that a part of the revenue

that I make goes to her family.

[Eko] Let me show you something.

It's just my opinion.

Uh

the mixture can be recognized

by their kretek flavor.

[sniffs]

This flavor was created by Miss Dasiyah.

I'll show you something else.

[Eko mutters]

Where is it? Hold on.

[Eko] Here.

This is the recipe for a kretek flavor

that Miss Dasiyah recited to me.

Word for word.

I followed every word she said

down to the smallest details.

Look, here's her signature. See?

Have you ever altered this recipe

to suit your needs?

Ohh.

Why would I ever want to alter

the fantastic Kretek Gadis' recipe?

It's already perfect.

So, hold on. Does that mean

that the Kretek Kembang Setaman recipe is

the same as Kretek Gadis?

I want to try it, sir. Please.

[wistful music playing]

[wistful music continues playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[device beeping]

[Raja] Pur.

Thank you for everything.

You've always been a good wife to me.

And I

I apologize for not being

a better husband to you.

[Purwanti] Oh, dear.

You've given everything

to support this family all these years.

I know

you did your best

for the children and for me.

- Bas.

- Hm?

It was awful

how we parted ways the last time.

So now, I want to part ways with you

in a more cordial way, you know?

What do you mean "part ways", though?

We can always see each other again, Rum.

No, I know. What I'm trying to tell you

What I mean, uh, I, uh

I'll be back as soon as possible.

And I promise

everything will be all right when I do.

Mm. All right.

[brooding music playing]

It's okay.

[car squeaks]

[car horn honking]

[lighter clinks]

- [suspenseful music playing]

- [woman breathing heavily]

[car horns honking]

Yeah, it's me.

Please get the chopper ready.

Hey, there's the man of the hour.

[Tegar] Why are you back here?

You shouldn't have come back home.

[Karim] Tegar.

Enough.

- Here.

- Thank you, Bas.

I really need this.

Okay, maybe I'm biased,

but, man, DR's cigarettes are marvelous.

If these didn't exist,

I definitely go insane.

Of course.

That's why we continue

to be ranked number one even today.

[Lebas] Yet, this one's not DR.

That's Dad's and Jeng Yah's kretek.

It was called Kretek Gadis.

Check out the kretek's history

at the museum if you don't believe me.

That was created

before Dad and Grandpa made DR.

Hey.

Who else knows about this? Huh?

- Only Jeng Yah's family and I.

- Who else knows about this?

- Only Jeng Yah's family and I.

- Are you sure?

[Karim] Tegar.

Damn it.

Tegar.

- Man.

- Shut up! I'm thinking!

Okay, all right. All right.

Bas.

Hey.

Uh.

Call our lawyer, what's his name again?

Mr. Bambang. Bambang.

Call Mr. Bambang now, Bas.

Tell Mr. Bambang exactly what you told us.

- Let him take care of this.

- [Karim] Tegar.

- Calm down. It's done.

- Are you serious, man?

Yeah, I'll handle it.

Come on.

Dad and Grandpa already did wrong

by copying this.

And you want to call a lawyer

to handle this now?

Rim.

Then, Bas, what do you suggest

we say to our shareholders, huh?

Okay, so you're going to the meeting

and you want to say,

"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me

as a representative of DR cigarettes,

to make a special announcement.

In fact, it turns out that all this time,

our cigarettes have been a ripping-off

other people's recipes!"

Do you want to ruin us?

- Jeng Yah's dad died because of this.

- I couldn't care less.

Let me ask you something,

what do you think we sell at our company?

- We're talking about someone's life!

- I want to ask you something

[Lebas] Jeng Yah, the woman

that Dad has been looking for.

[Tegar] Answer the damn question!

What do you think we sell, man?

Prayer mats, huh?

Stop! Be quiet, Dad's in his room.

[solemn music playing]

Maybe this has something to do

with what we heard inside.

Dad was delirious.

He kept mentioning Grandpa's name.

[Karim] He said someone died

because of him.

And if what Lebas said is true,

that means what we should do next

is to put this matter of Jeng Yah

and her family first.

[Purwanti] I agree.

This is the perfect opportunity

for you three

to finally make amends

for your grandpa's mistakes.

Yeah, I agree, Mom. I do.

For the sake of Grandpa's name,

you don't have to worry. I'll handle it.

Nobody will ever tarnish his memory.

I'm gonna save Grandpa's reputation.

- And about the company, Mom

- What are you talking about?

- You're missing the point!

- You shut your mouth!

Tegar!

I know your grandfather better than you.

So please now, just let me talk!

Calm down, Mom.

Come here.

[Purwanti] All this time,

I have always been turning a blind eye.

But now, I finally came to my senses

[sobbing]

that we we all have to pay the price

for what we did.

[crying]

I have just one request

for every one of you.

Listen to your dad.

Do whatever he wishes.

Do whatever he wishes.

That's it.

[sighs]

Bas.

Go, see your dad now.

He wants to talk to you.

Yes, Mom.

We're going to fix everything, Mom.

We're going to fix everything.

[Lebas] I found several pages

from your journals

and from Jeng Yah's.

I also read about

Kretek Gadis.

And

how you started Kretek DR,

and when Jeng Yah attended your wedding.

And how that was the last time

that you ever saw her.

Actually,

I met Jeng Yah one last time after that,

a few years later.

[train honking, rumbling]

M CITY, 1975

[Raja] While traveling

from Jakarta to Kudus,

the train stopped in M City.

You and your brothers

were still young kids back then, Bas.

Just as I had given up hope

of ever seeing her again

I was trying to forget about her

when Jeng Yah appeared

right in front of me.

It's big, not small, Tegar.

Go to your mom. Come on.

I need to clear up

some administrative issues.

Okay.

- [Raja] Ma'am, look after the children.

- Yes.

[tense music playing]

Jeng Yah!

[music stops]

[romantic music playing]

Jeng Yah. Wait.

Please.

["Kereta Ini Melaju Terlalu Cepat"

playing]

Please hear me out this time.

I'm so sorry.

- I'm

- [grunts]

[grunts]

What Stop

Okay. Calm down. Please.

Shh. Calm down. Calm down.

Dasiyah. Dasiyah. Calm down.

Calm down. Calm down.

Calm down. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry for everything.

Everything that's happened to you.

This is all my fault.

All because I allowed Djagad

to do all this to your family and to you.

I don't know if you ever read the letters

I put inside your diary

and gave to Seno to hand over to you.

I explained everything to you

in those letters.

Djagad was jealous of your father, Jeng.

He wanted to take all

that your father had.

Djagad was the one

who put your father's name

on the blacklist.

If If only you know what's going

through my head all the time

I've always known

I should have chosen you.

I should have been the one to support you.

Not Seno.

Seno died recently while on duty.

[Dasiyah sobbing]

Dasiyah, even I don't know how to express

my love and affection for you.

I'm not sure what's right.

And I'm not sure what's wrong.

I only want us to be together.

I've always been around, Raja.

I never went any place. I never left.

And I'll always be around.

You may come home to me

if that's what you want.

["Kereta Ini Melaju Terlalu Cepat"

continues playing]

[train whistles]

Let me fix everything, Dasiyah.

This time, I will choose you.

Would you be willing to take me back?

Next Sunday, meet me at the train station.

I'll come home to you.

You swear?

I swear.

[doorknob clanks]

[door squeaks open]

[train whistles]

[Raja] On the next Sunday,

I went back to the train station.

I came there to begin a new life.

But Jeng Yah wasn't there.

[somber music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

I waited.

But she never came.

I stayed in M City for a few days

trying to find Jeng Yah.

I walked around and asked everyone I knew.

But to no avail.

After your grandpa passed away

M CITY, 1979

I realized

Thank you.

I was so busy searching for Jeng Yah

Thanks, sir.

that I forgot my promise

to fix everything.

- Thank you, Raja.

- You're welcome.

- Can we talk for a minute?

- Yeah.

[Raja] So I searched for all

of Mr. Idroes' employees

This is from me.

and made sure they and their families

For her.

lived comfortably.

Thank you so much, sir.

- We really appreciate it.

- You're welcome.

[male presenter] We also modernized

the concept

by changing the previous logo

with the new one.

We hope that we can continue

to grow in the future.

[paper rustling]

This is the former logo

which has been replaced with the new one.

New log, new name.

[Raja] I changed

the kretek packaging design

and hoped Jeng Yah would see it.

WITH GREAT HONOR, WE HEREBY INVITE YOU

TO OUR RECEPTION NIGH

I'm aware you know

that I've done so many bad things

that disappointed you considerably, Lebas.

I want you to know something important.

I never took pride

in any of the awful things

I did at that time.

[sobbing]

Forgive me. I'm sorry, Lebas.

I forgive you.

The truth is, Dad,

I couldn't find Jeng Yah.

But I met her daughter.

What?

Tell me more, please.

I want to know everything.

Okay.

[soft music playing]

Rum.

Mom.

This belonged to my sister.

Who knows, maybe it will help everything

make more sense.

[car approaching]

Your granddad's house, Rum.

Mr. Idroes.

When I was a little kid,

my father would often visit this house

from Jakarta to take care of it.

Let's go.

Here.

[Lebas] Arum.

That's Tegar.

This is Karim.

This is my dad, Mr. Raja.

So, Dad,

this is Arum.

Arum.

On behalf of me and my family,

I would like to apologize

for

everything that I've done in the past

to you and your family.

[soft music playing]

I promise

that I will fix everything.

I appreciate it, Mr. Raja.

But to be honest with you,

I don't believe

you should apologize to me, sir.

Well, I was

hoping that Rukayah would be here as well.

[Raja] So, I could directly apologize

to her.

But I understand.

I guess I should be the one going

to her house.

And I know

that an apology won't be enough.

But

the most difficult thing is,

seeing the children suffer

because of their parents' mistakes.

[exhales heavily]

Mr. Raja.

Hm?

There's something I need to tell you

about Jeng Yah.

When you two met

at the train station that day

and you told her about the letters,

well, my mother rushed home immediately.

[tense music playing]

M CITY, 1975

[Arum] Rukayah, my adoptive mother,

said that she discovered this book

and the letters you wrote to her in it.

Dasiyah had already chosen

to live with you, Mr. Raja.

- [baby Arum cries]

- Come on.

You have to forget about this

[Arum] But Rukayah disagreed.

She didn't think you would accept me

I don't think that this will be a problem.

- Seno's daughter.

- He wants us to be together. All right?

[Arum] But Dasiyah really believed

that you would.

Shh.

Rukayah, I'm telling you. You're wrong.

Arum won't go anywhere.

[Arum] But then

the day before you two were supposed

to meet again at the train station

something happened.

[Dasiyah coughing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[heavy coughing]

The doctor said

[baby Arum crying]

her years in captivity

had weakened her body tremendously.

So she was unable to fight the virus

that had unexpectedly infected her.

- [baby Arum crying]

- [Dasiyah coughing]

There was nothing that could be done.

[Dasiyah] Promise

to take care of Arum.

[Dasiyah coughing heavily]

[Arum] Dasiyah passed away a week later.

Only my aunt Rukayah and Mr. Eko

knew about this.

Then then they never told anyone ever.

[Raja crying]

Thank you, Arum.

Could you please take me

to where she's buried?

[Arum] We've all struck rock bottom

at some point in our lives.

Some people call it a wound.

I call it

a lesson.

DASIYAH

DAUGHTER OF IDROES MOERIA

Something I held dear

and incorporated into my way of life,

without feeling ashamed.

Perhaps, once we embrace everything

as a part of who we are,

then we can look forward to the future.

[soft music playing]

Because I believe

that ahead of all of us,

something better

awaits us.

[melancholic music playing]

OUR CONDOLENCES

[inaudible dialogue]

[Lebas] I called the hospital,

and they said Dr. Arum is on leave.

Oh, yeah? You called the hospital?

Hm.

Here's the thing, Bas.

I'm eager to know everything I can

about my father's side of the family now.

Okay.

I actually thought we'd never meet again.

Were you afraid you'll never see me again?

[Arum chuckles]

But see? We met again.

Well

But you know what? Come to think of it

didn't Mr. Lebas escape

the bustling Metropolis of Jakarta?

- I I didn't escape anything.

- Oh, no?

I'd rather say

that I'm embarking on a new adventure.

[Arum] Mmm.

My father told me

not to wait until it's too late.

- [soft music playing]

- [chuckles]

How did you get here, Bas?

- By car.

- ["Kau Rumahku" playing]

- There.

- Mm.

Hey.

- My car is there.

- You can tell it to go home.

What?

Here.

I I can't ride a bike, Arum.

Well, I'm not letting you drive my bike.

Why are you sitting here now?

I have to back the bike up first.

Get off. Come on.

Now, could you give me a hand?

All right.
