A Normal Woman (2025) Movie Script
Good morning, ma'am.
- Irah
- Yes, miss?
I didn't order any flowers.
Boss Lady ordered them, miss.
Okay, look over here. One, two, three.
Over here. One, two, three.
Sorry, Mr. Jonathan,
can you lower the cup a bit?
Like this?
Yes.
Angel, honey, can you give us a smile?
Right, let's try again.
One, two, three.
Oh, can you sit up straight, Grandma?
I already am.
The flowers are too big.
They're covering your face.
Don't move it.
Just move the camera.
Move it.
All right. Let's try looking over here.
There we go.
One, two, three.
I feel proud.
We didn't grow up with privileges.
We are not old money.
This is all the result
of my hard work and effort.
Can you tell us
how you and your family got to this point?
It all starts from the roots.
I wouldn't be here
if it weren't for my mother.
That's what matters.
Also, truth and honesty.
Principles that I uphold.
How did you two meet, sir?
- We met at church.
- Sir
I go to church every week,
but I've never met someone like you.
"Knock, and the door
will be opened to you."
Even though she came
from a humble background.
But it was never an issue for our family.
Mrs. Milla
Irah, don't forget to take
the salmon out of the freezer at 10:00
and steam it for Boss Lady's lunch.
Yes, miss.
Where's the liver?
Dear God. I forgot.
I've already told you.
Just for today, Boss Lady wants liver
with her steamed eggs.
Is Boss Lady even allowed to eat liver?
If her cholesterol level spikes,
you'll get blamed again, miss.
Here's what we'll do.
Replace it with minced meat.
Come on, Irah. Hurry!
All right.
MOM
Mom, I can't possibly ask Jonathan again.
Don't you have your own money?
This is an emergency, Milla.
What happened to your monthly allowance?
Today is only the 4th.
So what do you want? Want me to beg?
You're my only child.
Who else should I ask for help?
How can she quit gambling
if you're not firm with her?
I know.
But she's my mom.
Last month, my mom already suspected
you had additional expenses.
If it happens again this month
Milla, my mom and I
have done so much for her.
Fine, I'll talk to my mom.
Honey, have you taken
Eternity Life this morning?
- Not yet.
- Take some.
You know how beneficial it is.
This one's for me.
Men's Essentials, for immunity,
stamina, and brain function.
And for you
Flawless Beauty, for skin hydration,
anti-wrinkle, and anti-aging.
Mom, for your birthday,
I've replaced the flowers,
as you requested.
Revisions for the decoration
and cake design will be emailed next week.
That's too long.
All right, I'll rush them.
I've also booked the makeup artist.
Cancel it.
I found a better one.
But I've already paid.
Let it go, Milla. It's her birthday.
Let her have what she wants.
She can do Angel's makeup too.
She has a knack
for making people's faces look slim.
What's wrong, Mom?
Mom?
Milla?
I forgot to buy liver.
I replaced it with minced meat.
I apologize, Mom.
All right.
Just make sure there's liver tomorrow.
Forget it! I've lost my appetite.
Such a drama queen.
Angel! Don't say that to your grandma!
You
You're always too soft on your daughter.
YOU SHOULD UPCYCLE YOUR FACE
COVER YOUR FACE WITH THAT BAG!
Can I use it?
I could never make bags like these, honey.
Grandma suggested this for me.
No!
I don't agree, Mom.
Angel is still too young
to be encouraged to get plastic surgery.
IS SHE THEIR BIOLOGICAL CHILD?
BEAUTY AND THE BEASDon't you feel sorry
for your own daughter?
So how's Angel doing, Milla?
Milla?
How's Angel doing?
All right.
I just hope
she doesn't pay attention to it.
She's a talented girl.
Look at what she made.
Oh, that explains it!
We were wondering
about the bag you're carrying.
It turns out
that it was handmade by Angel.
If you're going to be in the public eye,
you have to be prepared for this.
Anyway, Angel makes your family
seem more real
and approachable
for the Eternity Life brand.
What do you mean?
That's true, Milla.
You are the ultimate couple goal. Right?
Just look at her husband. Jonathan.
When I watch him lifting barbells
on his Instagram live,
I'd give anything
to be one of his barbells.
I wish my husband was like that.
Hi!
Hi, baby!
Hello.
Hi, how are you?
You just keep getting younger, huh?
- Hi, ma'am.
- Hi!
Have you lost weight?
You think so?
Yes, it looks like it.
Show my husband how to work out
so he'll stay young too.
You're saying I'm not young enough?
That's not what I mean.
By the way, congratulations, Jo.
I heard sales are skyrocketing.
Thank you, ma'am.
I've always said
that the CEO of Eternity Life
needs to step into the spotlight.
Walk the talk!
That way,
you don't need to pay for influencers!
He has a point.
Even I fell for it.
I bought the complete set!
Milla, I invited Mr. and Mrs. Nugros
to Mom's birthday party.
Who's the event organizer?
Milla is handling everything.
Milla?
Milla?
Milla?
- Milla?
- Milla?
Grace!
Milla. What's wrong?
Blood!
- There's no blood!
- Grace!
Milla! Calm down!
There's no blood.
There's no blood.
Milla has never been like this, Doctor.
Her CBC and CRP are normal.
No signs of inflammation or infection.
You're physically fine.
- No allergies, right?
- None.
- Ate something unusual?
- No.
- Have any pets?
- No.
In that case, it's most likely
that Milla is stressed.
But what caused that incident?
Stress and fatigue
can cause the mind to hallucinate.
No, I'm not stressed.
All right. Just get enough rest for now.
I'll prescribe
some medicine and ointment for you.
This won't last long, right?
My mom's birthday party is coming up soon.
You can relax. Milla is fine.
Thank you, Doctor.
Who are you?
I'm Hatta, sir. Irah's son.
I'm a new member of the staff.
Oh, yes, Hatta.
The new gardener.
We put him through school,
and now he's a gardener.
Jon!
I hope you'll like working here.
May your words lead us in our lives.
- Amen.
- Amen.
"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but whoever hates correction is stupid."
"A wife of noble character
is her husband's crown,"
but a disgraceful wife
"Is like decay in his bones."
Miss?
Miss?
Miss?
Miss?
Are you ill?
Oh my gosh!
Milla.
We've been waiting a long time for you.
Yes, Mom.
The decoration we designed
was inspired by paintings
from the Ming Dynasty.
For the color palette,
we'll use deep, calming blue and white
as the dominant colors.
Your birthday cake
will be the centerpiece,
with a mountain painting
in the background.
Next.
Where are you going?
I want to grab
my meds.
Just a moment, Mom.
Go on.
In this area
Something's wrong with me, Jo.
Dr. Garry says it's acid reflux.
Taking pills on an empty stomach
caused you to vomit.
It's not that. I vomited glass.
What are you talking about?
There was no glass.
Her face is covered in glass shards.
It's ruined.
I
Milla, nothing's wrong with you.
Stop being paranoid!
It's just a rash.
Can't you just believe me this one time?
This is because you rarely go to church.
The forces of darkness
have messed with your mind.
Enough of this.
Take your medicine,
then we'll pray.
Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
have mercy on Milla,
your humble and sinful servant.
Shield her from the devil's temptation
that's weakening her faith.
Forgive all her sins
that have grieved you.
Holy Spirit,
accept her once more and dwell in her.
Redeem her, that she may be reborn
as your obedient child.
In the name of Lord Jesus,
we pray and give thanks.
Amen.
Grace.
Grace.
Grace.
Milla.
Milla.
Another nightmare?
Your face
Huh?
Your face.
How on earth
can the scab spread this fast?
It was only on her neck yesterday.
Milla had all kinds of tests earlier.
The results came back normal.
It's not autoimmune.
But I want to get a second opinion.
It's odd that Milla is suddenly like this.
The doctor said
it's psychological.
Are you stressed?
What are you stressed about?
Taking care of the house?
- Taking care of this family?
- No.
Organizing my birthday party?
If you can't handle it,
just hire an event organizer!
It's not that, Mom.
Then what?
This is clearly because you're ungrateful.
If you were grateful,
you wouldn't get stressed like this.
What more do you need?
We take care of your mother.
We even bought her a house.
Can you imagine
What your life would be like now
if you had never met this family?
You wouldn't have
a comfortable life like now!
Irah!
- What is this?
- A healing broth.
Boss Lady made it.
- Eat it.
- No.
Eat it, Milla.
Don't force her if she refuses!
It's good for the skin.
It smells pungent, but it works wonders.
Ever since your mom was little,
if she had an itch or allergy,
this would always cure her.
Why can't I remember my childhood?
Strange. How is that possible?
No need to remember it, miss.
What matters is that you're happy now.
Wasn't she happy in the past?
Back then, her life wasn't like this.
One time, Grandma Novi
scolded your mother during Christmas.
Why?
Because she bought a headband for church.
That's weird. Just because of a headband?
I remember your mom crying,
"Irah, why does Mom
always forbid Grace
from feeling beautiful? Always scolding... "
- Grace?
- Grace?
Why did you call me Grace?
Who's Grace?
I'm an old woman. Sometimes I forget...
Are you hiding something from me?
I'm not...
Don't lie!
Dear God!
Grace keeps appearing in my dreams!
Miss, don't dwell on those silly thoughts.
What's up with you?
You come to my house late at night,
rummaging through my things.
Hey.
Hey!
What happened to your face?
Mom, why was I called Grace?
Grace?
Who's Grace?
Don't lie, Mom!
What are you talking about?
This is not Grace.
- Not Grace.
- No.
This is you. Milla.
Mom.
Where are my other childhood photos?
Where are they?
- I couldn't bring all of it from Surabaya.
- Then who is Grace?
Milla
- Did you call Jonathan?
- Jo, she's rambling.
Talking about a child named Grace.
- Let's go home.
- No! I have to find her first.
- Find who?
- Grace!
Milla, you're sick.
I don't want you to lose your mind.
- Maybe I already have!
- Grace doesn't exist!
It's all in your head!
Ma'am.
Are you all right?
Maybe I really have gone crazy.
Milla.
Milla!
Mom?
Don't you worry.
I will fix everything.
In the name of Christ,
we cleanse this soul anew,
which has been tainted by evil,
and we bring home the lost lamb of God.
I baptize you with water,
but he baptizes you with the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit,
deliver Milla from the shackles
and consequences of her sins.
The Lord has saved us
by his grace through death,
rebirth, and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
Mom!
- Milla?
- Mrs. Milla.
What did you do to Grace?
- Milla!
- What did you do to Grace?
Help my daughter!
Lord, deliver this soul!
Angel!
What did you do to Grace?
Mom!
Angel, open the door.
Who is she, Mom?
I think Grace is me.
But everyone
is trying to hide that fact from me.
You have to stop.
Stop this!
Milla, I'm begging you
Mom!
I'll stop
if you tell me the truth right now!
If you keep this up,
we could lose everything!
That's what you're worried about?
You won't be able to keep gambling?
You won't live comfortably anymore?
Is that it?
Us!
You're the cause of this problem, Milla.
Not me.
Have you forgotten
how tough life used to be for us?
The Gunawan family
is a blessing from God, Milla.
We have to hold on.
Don't let life defeat us again.
Hello.
Erika, right?
How did you know?
My mother is expecting you. Go inside.
Oh, you're Grandma's son?
- Jonathan, right?
- Yes.
- I'm Erika.
- Jonathan.
You're starting to get
dark circles under your eyes.
You should apply eye cream more often.
Let me help you.
No need. It's okay. I can get it myself.
You're pretty strong for your size.
All right, I'm going now.
Gosh, you're so beautiful, Grandma.
No way. My skin is all saggy.
That's not true.
I've done makeup
for plenty of women your age.
Your skin is firmer than theirs.
On my birthday,
make sure you transform me
so everyone will be stunned.
Relax, Grandma.
I'm an expert at turning back time.
Erika.
When you do my makeup later,
can you make me look like this?
Of course. That's your mom, right?
Won't she be joining us
for the makeup trial?
She can't.
She's ill.
That's fine.
Just let me know when she gets better
so we can schedule it.
She won't be attending the party.
Angel, let's make a TikTok video.
A "Before & After,"
with you all glammed up like your mom.
It's currently viral.
No, thanks. I'll get humiliated again.
Don't feed the fish
if you can't reel them in.
Is this about those haters?
Those types of people
are usually jealous, Grandma.
Ignore them, Angel.
It just means that you're on their radar.
All right, Grandma.
- Let's begin.
- Yes?
Irah!
What are you doing here?
I'm Erika,
Grace's best friend back in Surabaya.
You're not working for Grace anymore?
Grace?
You got the wrong person.
Irah has been working for Milla
since Milla was a little girl.
Milla?
Erika!
I got so many likes!
That's great.
I'll teach you
an easy way to apply makeup.
Don't listen to those haters
telling you to get plastic surgery.
Just do what I teach you every day.
He's really famous, and he just DMed me!
How sweet!
What should I say?
Wait, don't reply straight away!
Make him want you more.
Erika, thank you so much.
Angel
You are pretty, honey.
Just like your mom.
What exactly is her condition?
Mom mentioned
the name "Grace."
Do you know her?
Can you help my mom?
Who is it?
Who are you?
Grace?
You know Grace?
It's me, Erika.
Remember?
Erika?
Does it hurt, Grace?
Don't you remember what happened?
It's okay.
What matters is that now you remember
that I'm Erika,
your best friend.
I love you.
So you don't know
what happened to me either?
You and your mother
left Surabaya out of the blue.
I never heard from you anymore.
Will you help me?
Sure.
I promise
we'll find out what really happened. Okay?
Ma'am?
Pardon, ma'am?
Geranium.
Can you put this in my room, Hatta?
Of course.
- Watch the roots.
- Don't damage them.
Yes.
All better, ma'am?
Never mind, forget it. It's useless.
Every plant I put in my room
ends up dying.
If it dies,
it's not the plant's fault, ma'am.
It's the surroundings.
The surroundings.
Yes.
No!
YEARBOOK
BETHEL CHRISTIAN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
SURABAYA
When I grow up,
I won't be eating instant noodles anymore.
I want to eat steak, spaghetti,
and ice cream every single day.
Enjoy fancy and expensive parties,
dress up beautifully,
buy all the clothes at the mall.
Marry a rich husband.
I'll live a happy life.
Don't worry, you can come live
with me and my husband.
Nah.
I only want
Freedom.
All right, but I'll still buy you
all the expensive makeup
so you can be beautiful too.
When you get out of here,
you can find a handsome husband!
Just like me!
Erika?
Erika?
You're so noisy, Kwet.
You're pretty, but mean.
Pay your rent.
Next week.
Wait a minute.
You know I'm not hard to please.
You don't have to pay with money.
Pervert!
Gosh, Grandma, you look so beautiful!
This cheongsam makes you look slimmer.
That's why I insisted from the start
that Oni make it for me.
But as usual, Jonathan is always shocked
when I send him my invoice,
even though
you're the one paying, Grandma.
Jonathan really loves you, Grandma.
He grants your every wish.
Well, Grandma is the one
who raised and took care of him.
"Behind every great man,
there's an even greater woman."
Remember that.
Angel, honey,
can you take a deep breath again?
Hold your breath. This will surely fit.
Enough already. We can do this later.
Careful. Oh my.
It's fine, Grandma.
Maybe she's just going through puberty.
When Milla and I were children,
we used to play hooky from school.
So you and Milla are truly old friends?
That's why I was surprised
when I saw Irah here the other day.
Why didn't Milla ever mention you?
We lost contact a long time ago, Grandma.
Yes. They did move to Jakarta.
But it was such a sudden move.
Even I was surprised.
They suddenly disappeared.
I'll put the long ones on you, okay?
It matches your dress.
What about you, Grandma?
When did you meet Milla?
It was after Jonathan returned
from Melbourne.
The last time I saw Milla,
we were only 14 years old.
She was so different back then.
What do you mean?
Get to the point.
With enough money,
any woman can become beautiful.
That's why
you should find a proper husband.
You're right.
Maybe
It's just because
I haven't seen her in a long time.
I was shocked
when I saw Milla's condition.
We've sent the test results to Singapore.
No one can explain
what's happening to her.
Every diagnosis is different.
To be honest,
I don't even know what to do.
Maybe you should fix
the root of the problem.
I can help, Jo.
What exactly do you know?
I'm pretty sure it has something to do
with Milla's childhood.
An incident
that disfigured her face back then
What incident?
You don't know?
Grace is not a hallucination.
Grace does exist.
Grace Camilla.
- This is Milla.
- Impossible.
- But I was there.
- This is not Milla!
I saw everything.
What did you see?
Everything.
I saw how Grace's face was disfigured
in the accident.
How they suddenly disappeared
from Surabaya.
How Auntie Novi hid everything
from you and your family.
Even from Milla.
Don't deny it anymore.
Erika told us everything.
That woman is a liar!
So are you and your daughter.
Listen, this isn't about Milla's accident.
This is about you
wanting a comfortable life
and becoming a part of our family
using dishonest ways!
But I didn't think
that was something worth telling.
Milla was just an unfortunate girl
who experienced a tragic incident.
I'm always grateful
you accepted Milla into this family.
Enough!
Get out,
and don't ever return to this house!
Hurry up, kid!
We're almost late for the service!
Come on, stop pouting.
A headband won't make you prettier.
That's it. Bring it down.
Watch the rope. Loosen it a little.
- One, two, three.
- Come on.
- Kid! Watch out, don't stand there!
- Watch out!
Oh my God! Grace!
Oh my God, Grace!
Ma'am, what's happening to Grace?
Why didn't she recognize you? Or me?
The doctor said
The trauma from the accident
made her forget everything.
I can't bear
to see her face so damaged like this.
Stop crying, Irah.
All of this
is an opportunity given by God.
From now on,
you'll be able to get anything you want.
Milla.
Jon
Jon, I don't remember...
You expect me to believe that?
Thanks to Erika, I know everything!
No!
No, Milla!
Jon?
Jon!
Open up!
Angel!
Open the door, Jon!
Jon!
Forgive me, Mom.
I have failed.
- Never
- Angel!
Never blame yourself.
Jon, look at me.
Jon!
You are a Gunawan.
Angel!
Angel?
Angel!
Angel.
All of this is for the good of our family.
Your mother is sick.
Open up!
Hey, dude! Be careful with that.
It's expensive.
- Jo.
- Hey.
Thanks for coming over
to keep my mom company.
It's just a little help.
All right, I'm off now.
Okay.
Hi, Angel.
Isn't this
Steamed chicken with red yeast rice.
Your favorite.
Let me serve it for you.
Excuse me.
I don't understand
why you're still not married.
I want to focus
on taking care of my family first.
At least until all my siblings
graduate from college.
That's why I take all the jobs I can get.
When you get married,
you can find someone financially stable.
Someone who can take care
of you and your family.
Not everyone is as lucky as Milla.
Irah!
- Please take this to Milla.
- Yes, ma'am.
Can I take it to her instead?
So dark in here, Milla.
You need some light.
What do you want?
Time for lunch.
Good for your skin.
Gosh, Milla.
To survive,
Milla.
Milla?
Take it off.
Try this on.
Easy.
Ouch.
One, two, three.
Erika!
Come here. Get in the photo.
- They're from High Lane. Come on!
- Yes, Grandma.
Please step forward, ma'am.
All right. One, two, three.
Everyone, meet my makeup artist.
Hello, I'm Erika.
You're amazing! Liliana looks incredible.
Thank you.
Can I book you too?
Sure, ma'am.
Angel, come over here!
Angel, you look so beautiful.
Did Erika do your makeup too?
- Angel!
- Royhan!
- If it reaches Africa
- Might reach Tunisia
Jo.
- Thought you were Milla.
- I'm Erika, sir.
- Drinks?
- This way.
Come.
Cut the cake
Cut the cake right
Cut the cake
Cut the cake right now
Right now
Right now
Cut the cake
Jon
What? You're ashamed
everyone can see how rotten we are?
Such a disaster
Roy!
Roy.
Roy.
Royhan!
Why did you post that?
Jeez! It's not a big deal!
- I can't deal with this. You're too much.
- Asshole!
I sincerely apologize, sir.
I had doubts from the beginning.
But your mother convinced me
to go through this with you.
Now look.
You've tarnished our brand's reputation.
I sincerely apologize, sir.
Handle your wife.
And don't associate
with our brand anymore.
Sir.
Please give me another chance.
I promise I can fix all this.
LILIANA GUNAWAN'S TALE OF INSPIRATION
BUILDING A DYNASTY
It's not your fault, Grandma.
It's always our fault.
We, as women
What other obligations do we have
Besides protecting
the family's reputation?
I have to fix this problem.
Do you want to
Help me?
Good evening, Eternity Life family.
I would like to extend a formal apology.
I
I just realized, all this time,
my wife has been suffering
from a mental illness.
Because of this
Eternity Life
will be developing a new supplement
to treat mental health issues.
Because mental illness
is not something to fear
Or even hide.
Thank you for your understanding
and your support for Eternity Life.
Good night.
I'm sorry, Irah, Hatta.
I got both of you in trouble.
It's fine, ma'am.
So, you're going back
to your village, Hatta?
I can work in the fields again.
That's true.
Everyone in the village
has to work the fields.
Planting, harvesting,
and ngareremokeun.
Hatta is used to staying busy.
Ngareremokeun?
A ritual to honor nature.
My father always said
that whatever our hands give,
our hands will receive in return.
I'm coming with you.
But, miss
Irah.
I will only rot here.
Then die.
Is this your wish?
Yes, Irah.
I can't remember the last time
I lived my life on my own terms.
All right.
Okay, miss.
When you were little,
every time you woke up,
you'd jump straight into my bed,
asking for a hug.
I'm sorry for making you...
This is not your fault.
Your disease isn't your fault.
I actually feel
like this disease is a blessing.
What do you mean?
Well
I realize now
that all this time, I've lived my life
I realized that
I don't belong here.
Angie,
will you come with me?
But your life is not mine.
And my life is not yours.
I don't want your life
to end up like mine.
Where are you going?
You want to cause trouble again?
You really are selfish.
Do you even know how hard I worked
to pay for your surgery?
Your father abandoned us!
And you definitely couldn't rely
on your looks!
There's no place for women like us.
You erased me!
You erased me!
All of this is for your happiness!
Mom, if you care about my happiness,
then let me go!
If you don't care about your life anymore,
at least pay back what you owe me!
Milla!
Now I don't owe you anything anymore.
You've lost your mind!
You've gone crazy!
- Mom?
- Oh my God, miss.
Let me handle this.
Subtitle translation by: Lady Helen
- Irah
- Yes, miss?
I didn't order any flowers.
Boss Lady ordered them, miss.
Okay, look over here. One, two, three.
Over here. One, two, three.
Sorry, Mr. Jonathan,
can you lower the cup a bit?
Like this?
Yes.
Angel, honey, can you give us a smile?
Right, let's try again.
One, two, three.
Oh, can you sit up straight, Grandma?
I already am.
The flowers are too big.
They're covering your face.
Don't move it.
Just move the camera.
Move it.
All right. Let's try looking over here.
There we go.
One, two, three.
I feel proud.
We didn't grow up with privileges.
We are not old money.
This is all the result
of my hard work and effort.
Can you tell us
how you and your family got to this point?
It all starts from the roots.
I wouldn't be here
if it weren't for my mother.
That's what matters.
Also, truth and honesty.
Principles that I uphold.
How did you two meet, sir?
- We met at church.
- Sir
I go to church every week,
but I've never met someone like you.
"Knock, and the door
will be opened to you."
Even though she came
from a humble background.
But it was never an issue for our family.
Mrs. Milla
Irah, don't forget to take
the salmon out of the freezer at 10:00
and steam it for Boss Lady's lunch.
Yes, miss.
Where's the liver?
Dear God. I forgot.
I've already told you.
Just for today, Boss Lady wants liver
with her steamed eggs.
Is Boss Lady even allowed to eat liver?
If her cholesterol level spikes,
you'll get blamed again, miss.
Here's what we'll do.
Replace it with minced meat.
Come on, Irah. Hurry!
All right.
MOM
Mom, I can't possibly ask Jonathan again.
Don't you have your own money?
This is an emergency, Milla.
What happened to your monthly allowance?
Today is only the 4th.
So what do you want? Want me to beg?
You're my only child.
Who else should I ask for help?
How can she quit gambling
if you're not firm with her?
I know.
But she's my mom.
Last month, my mom already suspected
you had additional expenses.
If it happens again this month
Milla, my mom and I
have done so much for her.
Fine, I'll talk to my mom.
Honey, have you taken
Eternity Life this morning?
- Not yet.
- Take some.
You know how beneficial it is.
This one's for me.
Men's Essentials, for immunity,
stamina, and brain function.
And for you
Flawless Beauty, for skin hydration,
anti-wrinkle, and anti-aging.
Mom, for your birthday,
I've replaced the flowers,
as you requested.
Revisions for the decoration
and cake design will be emailed next week.
That's too long.
All right, I'll rush them.
I've also booked the makeup artist.
Cancel it.
I found a better one.
But I've already paid.
Let it go, Milla. It's her birthday.
Let her have what she wants.
She can do Angel's makeup too.
She has a knack
for making people's faces look slim.
What's wrong, Mom?
Mom?
Milla?
I forgot to buy liver.
I replaced it with minced meat.
I apologize, Mom.
All right.
Just make sure there's liver tomorrow.
Forget it! I've lost my appetite.
Such a drama queen.
Angel! Don't say that to your grandma!
You
You're always too soft on your daughter.
YOU SHOULD UPCYCLE YOUR FACE
COVER YOUR FACE WITH THAT BAG!
Can I use it?
I could never make bags like these, honey.
Grandma suggested this for me.
No!
I don't agree, Mom.
Angel is still too young
to be encouraged to get plastic surgery.
IS SHE THEIR BIOLOGICAL CHILD?
BEAUTY AND THE BEASDon't you feel sorry
for your own daughter?
So how's Angel doing, Milla?
Milla?
How's Angel doing?
All right.
I just hope
she doesn't pay attention to it.
She's a talented girl.
Look at what she made.
Oh, that explains it!
We were wondering
about the bag you're carrying.
It turns out
that it was handmade by Angel.
If you're going to be in the public eye,
you have to be prepared for this.
Anyway, Angel makes your family
seem more real
and approachable
for the Eternity Life brand.
What do you mean?
That's true, Milla.
You are the ultimate couple goal. Right?
Just look at her husband. Jonathan.
When I watch him lifting barbells
on his Instagram live,
I'd give anything
to be one of his barbells.
I wish my husband was like that.
Hi!
Hi, baby!
Hello.
Hi, how are you?
You just keep getting younger, huh?
- Hi, ma'am.
- Hi!
Have you lost weight?
You think so?
Yes, it looks like it.
Show my husband how to work out
so he'll stay young too.
You're saying I'm not young enough?
That's not what I mean.
By the way, congratulations, Jo.
I heard sales are skyrocketing.
Thank you, ma'am.
I've always said
that the CEO of Eternity Life
needs to step into the spotlight.
Walk the talk!
That way,
you don't need to pay for influencers!
He has a point.
Even I fell for it.
I bought the complete set!
Milla, I invited Mr. and Mrs. Nugros
to Mom's birthday party.
Who's the event organizer?
Milla is handling everything.
Milla?
Milla?
Milla?
- Milla?
- Milla?
Grace!
Milla. What's wrong?
Blood!
- There's no blood!
- Grace!
Milla! Calm down!
There's no blood.
There's no blood.
Milla has never been like this, Doctor.
Her CBC and CRP are normal.
No signs of inflammation or infection.
You're physically fine.
- No allergies, right?
- None.
- Ate something unusual?
- No.
- Have any pets?
- No.
In that case, it's most likely
that Milla is stressed.
But what caused that incident?
Stress and fatigue
can cause the mind to hallucinate.
No, I'm not stressed.
All right. Just get enough rest for now.
I'll prescribe
some medicine and ointment for you.
This won't last long, right?
My mom's birthday party is coming up soon.
You can relax. Milla is fine.
Thank you, Doctor.
Who are you?
I'm Hatta, sir. Irah's son.
I'm a new member of the staff.
Oh, yes, Hatta.
The new gardener.
We put him through school,
and now he's a gardener.
Jon!
I hope you'll like working here.
May your words lead us in our lives.
- Amen.
- Amen.
"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but whoever hates correction is stupid."
"A wife of noble character
is her husband's crown,"
but a disgraceful wife
"Is like decay in his bones."
Miss?
Miss?
Miss?
Miss?
Are you ill?
Oh my gosh!
Milla.
We've been waiting a long time for you.
Yes, Mom.
The decoration we designed
was inspired by paintings
from the Ming Dynasty.
For the color palette,
we'll use deep, calming blue and white
as the dominant colors.
Your birthday cake
will be the centerpiece,
with a mountain painting
in the background.
Next.
Where are you going?
I want to grab
my meds.
Just a moment, Mom.
Go on.
In this area
Something's wrong with me, Jo.
Dr. Garry says it's acid reflux.
Taking pills on an empty stomach
caused you to vomit.
It's not that. I vomited glass.
What are you talking about?
There was no glass.
Her face is covered in glass shards.
It's ruined.
I
Milla, nothing's wrong with you.
Stop being paranoid!
It's just a rash.
Can't you just believe me this one time?
This is because you rarely go to church.
The forces of darkness
have messed with your mind.
Enough of this.
Take your medicine,
then we'll pray.
Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
have mercy on Milla,
your humble and sinful servant.
Shield her from the devil's temptation
that's weakening her faith.
Forgive all her sins
that have grieved you.
Holy Spirit,
accept her once more and dwell in her.
Redeem her, that she may be reborn
as your obedient child.
In the name of Lord Jesus,
we pray and give thanks.
Amen.
Grace.
Grace.
Grace.
Milla.
Milla.
Another nightmare?
Your face
Huh?
Your face.
How on earth
can the scab spread this fast?
It was only on her neck yesterday.
Milla had all kinds of tests earlier.
The results came back normal.
It's not autoimmune.
But I want to get a second opinion.
It's odd that Milla is suddenly like this.
The doctor said
it's psychological.
Are you stressed?
What are you stressed about?
Taking care of the house?
- Taking care of this family?
- No.
Organizing my birthday party?
If you can't handle it,
just hire an event organizer!
It's not that, Mom.
Then what?
This is clearly because you're ungrateful.
If you were grateful,
you wouldn't get stressed like this.
What more do you need?
We take care of your mother.
We even bought her a house.
Can you imagine
What your life would be like now
if you had never met this family?
You wouldn't have
a comfortable life like now!
Irah!
- What is this?
- A healing broth.
Boss Lady made it.
- Eat it.
- No.
Eat it, Milla.
Don't force her if she refuses!
It's good for the skin.
It smells pungent, but it works wonders.
Ever since your mom was little,
if she had an itch or allergy,
this would always cure her.
Why can't I remember my childhood?
Strange. How is that possible?
No need to remember it, miss.
What matters is that you're happy now.
Wasn't she happy in the past?
Back then, her life wasn't like this.
One time, Grandma Novi
scolded your mother during Christmas.
Why?
Because she bought a headband for church.
That's weird. Just because of a headband?
I remember your mom crying,
"Irah, why does Mom
always forbid Grace
from feeling beautiful? Always scolding... "
- Grace?
- Grace?
Why did you call me Grace?
Who's Grace?
I'm an old woman. Sometimes I forget...
Are you hiding something from me?
I'm not...
Don't lie!
Dear God!
Grace keeps appearing in my dreams!
Miss, don't dwell on those silly thoughts.
What's up with you?
You come to my house late at night,
rummaging through my things.
Hey.
Hey!
What happened to your face?
Mom, why was I called Grace?
Grace?
Who's Grace?
Don't lie, Mom!
What are you talking about?
This is not Grace.
- Not Grace.
- No.
This is you. Milla.
Mom.
Where are my other childhood photos?
Where are they?
- I couldn't bring all of it from Surabaya.
- Then who is Grace?
Milla
- Did you call Jonathan?
- Jo, she's rambling.
Talking about a child named Grace.
- Let's go home.
- No! I have to find her first.
- Find who?
- Grace!
Milla, you're sick.
I don't want you to lose your mind.
- Maybe I already have!
- Grace doesn't exist!
It's all in your head!
Ma'am.
Are you all right?
Maybe I really have gone crazy.
Milla.
Milla!
Mom?
Don't you worry.
I will fix everything.
In the name of Christ,
we cleanse this soul anew,
which has been tainted by evil,
and we bring home the lost lamb of God.
I baptize you with water,
but he baptizes you with the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit,
deliver Milla from the shackles
and consequences of her sins.
The Lord has saved us
by his grace through death,
rebirth, and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
Mom!
- Milla?
- Mrs. Milla.
What did you do to Grace?
- Milla!
- What did you do to Grace?
Help my daughter!
Lord, deliver this soul!
Angel!
What did you do to Grace?
Mom!
Angel, open the door.
Who is she, Mom?
I think Grace is me.
But everyone
is trying to hide that fact from me.
You have to stop.
Stop this!
Milla, I'm begging you
Mom!
I'll stop
if you tell me the truth right now!
If you keep this up,
we could lose everything!
That's what you're worried about?
You won't be able to keep gambling?
You won't live comfortably anymore?
Is that it?
Us!
You're the cause of this problem, Milla.
Not me.
Have you forgotten
how tough life used to be for us?
The Gunawan family
is a blessing from God, Milla.
We have to hold on.
Don't let life defeat us again.
Hello.
Erika, right?
How did you know?
My mother is expecting you. Go inside.
Oh, you're Grandma's son?
- Jonathan, right?
- Yes.
- I'm Erika.
- Jonathan.
You're starting to get
dark circles under your eyes.
You should apply eye cream more often.
Let me help you.
No need. It's okay. I can get it myself.
You're pretty strong for your size.
All right, I'm going now.
Gosh, you're so beautiful, Grandma.
No way. My skin is all saggy.
That's not true.
I've done makeup
for plenty of women your age.
Your skin is firmer than theirs.
On my birthday,
make sure you transform me
so everyone will be stunned.
Relax, Grandma.
I'm an expert at turning back time.
Erika.
When you do my makeup later,
can you make me look like this?
Of course. That's your mom, right?
Won't she be joining us
for the makeup trial?
She can't.
She's ill.
That's fine.
Just let me know when she gets better
so we can schedule it.
She won't be attending the party.
Angel, let's make a TikTok video.
A "Before & After,"
with you all glammed up like your mom.
It's currently viral.
No, thanks. I'll get humiliated again.
Don't feed the fish
if you can't reel them in.
Is this about those haters?
Those types of people
are usually jealous, Grandma.
Ignore them, Angel.
It just means that you're on their radar.
All right, Grandma.
- Let's begin.
- Yes?
Irah!
What are you doing here?
I'm Erika,
Grace's best friend back in Surabaya.
You're not working for Grace anymore?
Grace?
You got the wrong person.
Irah has been working for Milla
since Milla was a little girl.
Milla?
Erika!
I got so many likes!
That's great.
I'll teach you
an easy way to apply makeup.
Don't listen to those haters
telling you to get plastic surgery.
Just do what I teach you every day.
He's really famous, and he just DMed me!
How sweet!
What should I say?
Wait, don't reply straight away!
Make him want you more.
Erika, thank you so much.
Angel
You are pretty, honey.
Just like your mom.
What exactly is her condition?
Mom mentioned
the name "Grace."
Do you know her?
Can you help my mom?
Who is it?
Who are you?
Grace?
You know Grace?
It's me, Erika.
Remember?
Erika?
Does it hurt, Grace?
Don't you remember what happened?
It's okay.
What matters is that now you remember
that I'm Erika,
your best friend.
I love you.
So you don't know
what happened to me either?
You and your mother
left Surabaya out of the blue.
I never heard from you anymore.
Will you help me?
Sure.
I promise
we'll find out what really happened. Okay?
Ma'am?
Pardon, ma'am?
Geranium.
Can you put this in my room, Hatta?
Of course.
- Watch the roots.
- Don't damage them.
Yes.
All better, ma'am?
Never mind, forget it. It's useless.
Every plant I put in my room
ends up dying.
If it dies,
it's not the plant's fault, ma'am.
It's the surroundings.
The surroundings.
Yes.
No!
YEARBOOK
BETHEL CHRISTIAN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
SURABAYA
When I grow up,
I won't be eating instant noodles anymore.
I want to eat steak, spaghetti,
and ice cream every single day.
Enjoy fancy and expensive parties,
dress up beautifully,
buy all the clothes at the mall.
Marry a rich husband.
I'll live a happy life.
Don't worry, you can come live
with me and my husband.
Nah.
I only want
Freedom.
All right, but I'll still buy you
all the expensive makeup
so you can be beautiful too.
When you get out of here,
you can find a handsome husband!
Just like me!
Erika?
Erika?
You're so noisy, Kwet.
You're pretty, but mean.
Pay your rent.
Next week.
Wait a minute.
You know I'm not hard to please.
You don't have to pay with money.
Pervert!
Gosh, Grandma, you look so beautiful!
This cheongsam makes you look slimmer.
That's why I insisted from the start
that Oni make it for me.
But as usual, Jonathan is always shocked
when I send him my invoice,
even though
you're the one paying, Grandma.
Jonathan really loves you, Grandma.
He grants your every wish.
Well, Grandma is the one
who raised and took care of him.
"Behind every great man,
there's an even greater woman."
Remember that.
Angel, honey,
can you take a deep breath again?
Hold your breath. This will surely fit.
Enough already. We can do this later.
Careful. Oh my.
It's fine, Grandma.
Maybe she's just going through puberty.
When Milla and I were children,
we used to play hooky from school.
So you and Milla are truly old friends?
That's why I was surprised
when I saw Irah here the other day.
Why didn't Milla ever mention you?
We lost contact a long time ago, Grandma.
Yes. They did move to Jakarta.
But it was such a sudden move.
Even I was surprised.
They suddenly disappeared.
I'll put the long ones on you, okay?
It matches your dress.
What about you, Grandma?
When did you meet Milla?
It was after Jonathan returned
from Melbourne.
The last time I saw Milla,
we were only 14 years old.
She was so different back then.
What do you mean?
Get to the point.
With enough money,
any woman can become beautiful.
That's why
you should find a proper husband.
You're right.
Maybe
It's just because
I haven't seen her in a long time.
I was shocked
when I saw Milla's condition.
We've sent the test results to Singapore.
No one can explain
what's happening to her.
Every diagnosis is different.
To be honest,
I don't even know what to do.
Maybe you should fix
the root of the problem.
I can help, Jo.
What exactly do you know?
I'm pretty sure it has something to do
with Milla's childhood.
An incident
that disfigured her face back then
What incident?
You don't know?
Grace is not a hallucination.
Grace does exist.
Grace Camilla.
- This is Milla.
- Impossible.
- But I was there.
- This is not Milla!
I saw everything.
What did you see?
Everything.
I saw how Grace's face was disfigured
in the accident.
How they suddenly disappeared
from Surabaya.
How Auntie Novi hid everything
from you and your family.
Even from Milla.
Don't deny it anymore.
Erika told us everything.
That woman is a liar!
So are you and your daughter.
Listen, this isn't about Milla's accident.
This is about you
wanting a comfortable life
and becoming a part of our family
using dishonest ways!
But I didn't think
that was something worth telling.
Milla was just an unfortunate girl
who experienced a tragic incident.
I'm always grateful
you accepted Milla into this family.
Enough!
Get out,
and don't ever return to this house!
Hurry up, kid!
We're almost late for the service!
Come on, stop pouting.
A headband won't make you prettier.
That's it. Bring it down.
Watch the rope. Loosen it a little.
- One, two, three.
- Come on.
- Kid! Watch out, don't stand there!
- Watch out!
Oh my God! Grace!
Oh my God, Grace!
Ma'am, what's happening to Grace?
Why didn't she recognize you? Or me?
The doctor said
The trauma from the accident
made her forget everything.
I can't bear
to see her face so damaged like this.
Stop crying, Irah.
All of this
is an opportunity given by God.
From now on,
you'll be able to get anything you want.
Milla.
Jon
Jon, I don't remember...
You expect me to believe that?
Thanks to Erika, I know everything!
No!
No, Milla!
Jon?
Jon!
Open up!
Angel!
Open the door, Jon!
Jon!
Forgive me, Mom.
I have failed.
- Never
- Angel!
Never blame yourself.
Jon, look at me.
Jon!
You are a Gunawan.
Angel!
Angel?
Angel!
Angel.
All of this is for the good of our family.
Your mother is sick.
Open up!
Hey, dude! Be careful with that.
It's expensive.
- Jo.
- Hey.
Thanks for coming over
to keep my mom company.
It's just a little help.
All right, I'm off now.
Okay.
Hi, Angel.
Isn't this
Steamed chicken with red yeast rice.
Your favorite.
Let me serve it for you.
Excuse me.
I don't understand
why you're still not married.
I want to focus
on taking care of my family first.
At least until all my siblings
graduate from college.
That's why I take all the jobs I can get.
When you get married,
you can find someone financially stable.
Someone who can take care
of you and your family.
Not everyone is as lucky as Milla.
Irah!
- Please take this to Milla.
- Yes, ma'am.
Can I take it to her instead?
So dark in here, Milla.
You need some light.
What do you want?
Time for lunch.
Good for your skin.
Gosh, Milla.
To survive,
Milla.
Milla?
Take it off.
Try this on.
Easy.
Ouch.
One, two, three.
Erika!
Come here. Get in the photo.
- They're from High Lane. Come on!
- Yes, Grandma.
Please step forward, ma'am.
All right. One, two, three.
Everyone, meet my makeup artist.
Hello, I'm Erika.
You're amazing! Liliana looks incredible.
Thank you.
Can I book you too?
Sure, ma'am.
Angel, come over here!
Angel, you look so beautiful.
Did Erika do your makeup too?
- Angel!
- Royhan!
- If it reaches Africa
- Might reach Tunisia
Jo.
- Thought you were Milla.
- I'm Erika, sir.
- Drinks?
- This way.
Come.
Cut the cake
Cut the cake right
Cut the cake
Cut the cake right now
Right now
Right now
Cut the cake
Jon
What? You're ashamed
everyone can see how rotten we are?
Such a disaster
Roy!
Roy.
Roy.
Royhan!
Why did you post that?
Jeez! It's not a big deal!
- I can't deal with this. You're too much.
- Asshole!
I sincerely apologize, sir.
I had doubts from the beginning.
But your mother convinced me
to go through this with you.
Now look.
You've tarnished our brand's reputation.
I sincerely apologize, sir.
Handle your wife.
And don't associate
with our brand anymore.
Sir.
Please give me another chance.
I promise I can fix all this.
LILIANA GUNAWAN'S TALE OF INSPIRATION
BUILDING A DYNASTY
It's not your fault, Grandma.
It's always our fault.
We, as women
What other obligations do we have
Besides protecting
the family's reputation?
I have to fix this problem.
Do you want to
Help me?
Good evening, Eternity Life family.
I would like to extend a formal apology.
I
I just realized, all this time,
my wife has been suffering
from a mental illness.
Because of this
Eternity Life
will be developing a new supplement
to treat mental health issues.
Because mental illness
is not something to fear
Or even hide.
Thank you for your understanding
and your support for Eternity Life.
Good night.
I'm sorry, Irah, Hatta.
I got both of you in trouble.
It's fine, ma'am.
So, you're going back
to your village, Hatta?
I can work in the fields again.
That's true.
Everyone in the village
has to work the fields.
Planting, harvesting,
and ngareremokeun.
Hatta is used to staying busy.
Ngareremokeun?
A ritual to honor nature.
My father always said
that whatever our hands give,
our hands will receive in return.
I'm coming with you.
But, miss
Irah.
I will only rot here.
Then die.
Is this your wish?
Yes, Irah.
I can't remember the last time
I lived my life on my own terms.
All right.
Okay, miss.
When you were little,
every time you woke up,
you'd jump straight into my bed,
asking for a hug.
I'm sorry for making you...
This is not your fault.
Your disease isn't your fault.
I actually feel
like this disease is a blessing.
What do you mean?
Well
I realize now
that all this time, I've lived my life
I realized that
I don't belong here.
Angie,
will you come with me?
But your life is not mine.
And my life is not yours.
I don't want your life
to end up like mine.
Where are you going?
You want to cause trouble again?
You really are selfish.
Do you even know how hard I worked
to pay for your surgery?
Your father abandoned us!
And you definitely couldn't rely
on your looks!
There's no place for women like us.
You erased me!
You erased me!
All of this is for your happiness!
Mom, if you care about my happiness,
then let me go!
If you don't care about your life anymore,
at least pay back what you owe me!
Milla!
Now I don't owe you anything anymore.
You've lost your mind!
You've gone crazy!
- Mom?
- Oh my God, miss.
Let me handle this.
