Tuhan, Benarkah Kau Mendengarku? (2026) Movie Script
[melancholic music playing]
[water splashing]
[Sarah] Dear God,
have mercy on me.
Bless me.
Help me live better.
Raise me higher.
Grant me guidance.
And
Please, forgive me.
[grunts in annoyance]
- I won!
- You cheated!
- What did I do?
- You got in late!
- [Satrio] Are you kidding me?
- [Laila] One more time.
- [Laila] Dad, hold me.
- Come on. One, two, three.
Honey, Laila. Come on.
I won, right? Believe me now?
Come on up.
We need to get ready.
Honey, you too.
Come on.
Laila. Come on, get ready.
[light music playing]
Let me.
You're still wet, Laila.
It's your birthday.
Why am I getting a present?
I have one more gift for you.
I ordered you a new batch of fabric.
And the pattern matches exactly
with your concept last week.
But I haven't finalized the concept.
That's why I'm helping you.
You're thinking too much.
It takes you too long.
Now get to work. Okay?
Honey. I'll get to it later.
Let me see. The design is good.
The color is perfect.
What else is there to do?
Work on it. Okay?
Let's go, Mom.
Why didn't you wear the outfit
that I prepared for you?
Still pretty. [Chuckles]
But then it won't match our outfits.
Go get changed, okay.
[whispers] Get changed.
- Okay.
- [Sarah] Five minutes?
Ten.
[ustadz] Alhamdulillah wa syukurillah,
we have gathered here today
as a celebration of gratitude
for the birthday of our brother
Mr. Muhammad Satrio Arafa.
Let us pray
that he is granted good health,
lives a long life,
and is blessed in this life.
[in unison] Amen.
[light music playing]
Let's clean this up.
[indistinct chatter]
- The pattern's pretty.
- Right.
The fabric's good.
[Nur] and the color.
Masya Allah, Sarah.
All the designs look so pretty.
Where did you buy this, Sarah?
What do you mean, buy?
I didn't buy it. It's my own design.
[exclaims] Really?
It's as good as the famous brands
at the Nusantara Modest Fashion Festival.
If you sell this in Kuala Lumpur,
it'll sell well.
- Are you serious?
- Really?
Mm-hmm.
- They like this kind of design?
- [woman] Mm-hmm.
- Let's switch it.
- No way!
This suits you better.
No, I want this one.
[grunts] So stingy.
[grunts] You're coveting what others have.
[Wati] Sarah.
Sarah. I'm sorry, about the debt
It's fine, never mind.
You don't have to pay it back.
You're so kind.
You're pretty and have a good heart.
Thank you so much.
This looks very good as well.
I'm heading back, Sarah, Satrio.
- Assalamualaikum.
- Waalaikumsalam.
[clicks tongue]
Sarah, I've warned you before
not to be overly kind to others.
They're taking advantage of you.
No, Nur. Insya Allah,
I'll get better things in return.
- [Laila] Let's go.
- How is it?
I talked to my friend.
Let's go. We're off, then.
We're off. Thank you for coming.
My pleasure.
- Assalamualaikum.
- [in unison] Waalaikumsalam.
[Satrio] So, what was it?
So, want to find a husband? [Laughs]
[Vijay] Yes, honey,
we'll go to Bali again.
Wait for the long weekend.
Just us. Oh, no.
Don't get yourself wet.
I'll get you a car.
Two doors or four doors?
If it's two doors, it's sporty. Hold on.
[phone vibrates]
Hello? Yes, honey.
I'm with Satrio. Need a video call?
[chuckles] No?
Transfer? Our kid's tuition?
Again? Okay, I'll wire it to you.
But don't spend it on shopping.
Okay. Bye, love you. Take care.
Just eat!
I've lost my appetite seeing your antics.
Seeing my antics or
seeing the same menu?
Even I got sick of it.
You're jealous, huh?
Because your wife never
cooks for you like this.
Which wife?
One is vegan.
The other one likes beef.
The way I see it,
you have no respect for women.
You always judged them with this.
That's the point.
I respect women.
I chose one,
making sure that it was my choice.
I married her, and I make sure
that she and our kid have a better future.
As for the others,
they have their own place.
There's a difference, buddy,
between loving someone
and putting her on a leash.
Hold on. You're saying
I must be faithful to my mistress?
What for? If I could,
I'd change them once a week, man!
- [knocking on door]
- Yes?
- Excuse me, sir.
- Yes.
This is the file you requested.
TO MR. SATRIO ARAFA
& MR. VIJAY SINGH
[Vijay] What took you so long?
[chuckles nervously] I just got it, sir.
[chuckles] I just got it as well.
- Excuse me, sir.
- Okay.
Hey, stop it.
No need to take the new staff's side.
Just eat!
Want me to feed you?
[Vijay] Odd Number.
Odd Number. Yeah, you.
Are you
busy tonight?
No, sir.
Okay. So there's a client from Mumbai.
Get the table ready, will you?
I'm sorry, sir. I can't.
I'm done with that stuff.
I know. That's why you work here. Right?
It's our guest.
The company's client.
You're helping the company.
Relax, I'll be there.
[hesitates] An?
Annisa, sir.
- Excuse me.
- Yeah.
[EDM music blasting]
[Vijay] Everything is in place.
[speaking Hindi] Okay, we have a deal.
[speaking Hindi] Give us a discount.
[speaking Hindi] Give us a moment.
[speaking Hindi] Sure, go ahead.
[speaking Hindi] So?
Hold on, I've got a secret weapon.
There we go.
Look.
[speaking Hindi] Girls, everyone!
Okay, deal?
- Deal.
- Deal!
Deal! It's a pleasure
doing business with you.
Vijay, why is our receptionist here?
Why did you bring her? You're nuts!
[Vijay] Think. It's much cheaper
to bring our staff
- Not for this!
- Why?
She's pretty, right? She's perfect.
Odd Number, come here.
Of course you want that girl. Come, come.
Yeah, you're with him.
I know she's your type.
[Vijay exclaims in amusement]
Okay, come on, let's party!
What do you want?
Let's drink! Please, drink!
For you, this much will do.
[Vijay] You do this all the time. Here.
Just drink.
Come on!
- It's okay.
- [Vijay] We're not in the office.
There you go! Have some more.
Drink up, yeah!
Satrio, where are you going?
[Vijay exclaims] Hey!
How lame! It's fine.
He just needs to use the restroom.
- [bartender] What can I get you, sir?
- Mineral water.
Coming right up.
WHY AREN'T YOU HOME YET?
YOUR DINNER'S GETTING COLD.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
I'M STILL STUCK WITH VIJAY. GO TO SLEEP.
Baby, come on.
Very nice.
[girl] Come on.
Hey.
- Don't touch me.
- Hey.
Don't you want a bonus?
Stop it!
Hold up. Annisa!
[panting]
Mr. Satrio.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry, sir.
Wait. I can't let you leave like this.
Let me get you a cab.
Or let me drive you home?
Need some water?
Thank you, sir.
[gentle piano playing]
[door opens]
Assalamualaikum. You're still up?
Waalaikumsalam.
I can't sleep when your meeting
is in the nightclub.
You know that Vijay made me.
I tried to say no.
I'm sorry.
Are you
wearing a new perfume?
[stammers]
The club was really crowded.
Must have rubbed off on me.
I'm taking a shower.
[elevator dings]
- Good morning, sir.
- Morning.
Do we have a guest?
Hold on, let me check.
Not today.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
[Annisa] Sir.
Excuse me, but
I brought you something.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking me home
last night, sir.
No worries. Sorry for the trouble.
- Not at all, sir.
- Thank you.
[knocking on door]
Come in.
Excuse me, sir.
Would you like to have tea or coffee?
You're still here?
[chuckles] I'm not going home
when my boss is still here.
I still have so much work to do.
Well, waiting for you is a part of my job.
But I can't possibly take it home with me,
so I'm getting it done here.
It's okay.
I'll wait for you, sir.
Tea or coffee?
Tea.
[soft music playing]
[inaudible conversation]
Sir.
Is it okay for me to eat here?
It's okay. The others eat here too.
I brought you some fabrics.
Honey, we still have a lot,
and I haven't used them.
[inaudible conversation]
- Have you packed your towel?
- I have, Dad.
- Pajamas?
- I have.
So everything's ready?
Yes.
[Sarah] Your vitamins and toothbrush?
[in unison] Done.
As soon as you get there, call me.
Don't be a nuisance to Kiki's mother.
And don't stay up late.
- Yes, Mom.
- Off you go.
- I'm off.
- Okay.
- Assalamualaikum.
- Waalaikumsalam.
[laughs]
- Dad.
- Take care.
- Bye, Dad.
- Bye.
Laila, wear your hijab.
Got it!
Hello, beautiful. Are you okay?
I'm okay. Hi, baby. Miss you.
You can sleep over at Kiki's now?
Thanks to my dad.
[chuckles] Your dad sounds cool.
I like him.
[Laila laughs] Just date him, then.
[Leo] No way, I just want his daughter.
[water pouring]
- Mrs. Tuti.
- Yes, Sir?
Just go home. I'll do the dishes.
Okay, sir.
Thank you.
What is it, honey?
Why did you send her home? That's unusual.
[hesitates, clears throat]
I need to talk to you.
What is it? You're making me nervous.
Okay, let's talk while eating.
It'll get cold.
Here it is.
Honey, let's eat.
[hesitates, clears throat]
Sarah, please don't be mad.
I
I'm asking for your permission
To take another wife.
[melancholic music playing]
Sarah, open the door.
[sobbing]
[crying loudly]
Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi.
Who is it?
Since when?
She's a good girl.
- She needs some guidance.
- Who is it?
Since when?
[sighs]
[quietly] Annisa.
[trembling voice] Astaghfirullahaladzim.
You're unhappy with our marriage,
and cheated with your receptionist?
Sarah.
I'm asking for your permission
because I don't want to cheat on you.
I'm being honest.
I'm asking for your blessing.
I'm begging you, Sarah.
I have to do this because
Annisa needs help.
It's the only way.
You mean by marrying her?
What exactly does she need
that you must marry her?
If you have such a noble intention,
then choose her.
I can't do this.
Sarah, please.
Sarah, I'm begging you.
Wait, Sarah!
I don't want a divorce.
I love you both.
Please.
Think about Laila.
You should've thought about her
before having an affair
with your receptionist.
- [Laila] Assalamualaikum.
- [in unison] Waalaikumsalam.
Dad!
[gasps]
Going on a business trip again?
Why didn't you tell me?
Dad.
Laila.
We need to talk to you.
What about, Dad?
Laila.
Mom and Dad
Are splitting up.
We're getting a divorce.
No.
What are you saying?
Mom.
What happened?
Answer me!
Why?
Laila.
Even if we aren't together,
nothing will change.
Nothing will change?
What do you mean?
[hysterically] If you live apart,
then what about me?
Will I have to go back and forth
between two houses?
Is that it? Answer me, Dad!
[sobbing] Answer me!
You'll understand.
How could I?
I won't understand unless
you explain it to me!
Answer me, Dad!
Mom, answer me! Don't just stand there!
[cries] You can't leave!
Laila, enough.
- Dad, don't go!
- Laila, enough!
Enough.
[sobs quietly]
You're both selfish!
[Satrio] I accept in marriage.
Annisa Maharani binti Indra Suryadi,
with the aforementioned dowry.
[officiant] Witnesses? All good?
[dramatic music playing]
[crying]
[Laila's friends cheering]
[Sarah reciting from the Quran]
[sobbing]
ASSALAMUALAIKUM, SWEETHEART.
I LOVE YOU, LAILA.
[sighs]
- Good morning.
- [Annisa] Morning.
- [Annisa laughs]
- [exclaims] What is it?
I made you rice with fried egg
and vegetables.
Okay, let me try.
Yes, try it.
Is it good?
[awkward laugh]
Honey, what's wrong?
[coughing]
Too salty!
- Seriously?
- Yes.
I'll have some water.
[Satrio coughing]
How was it?
It's good?
[laughing] Tasty?
Honey, don't mock me.
I told you, I can't cook.
Just throw it away.
Aw, please don't be mad.
You're prettier when you're mad.
[laughing]
Annisa.
When you're ready,
is it okay for Laila to stay here?
[hesitates]
What if she hates me?
Take it slow.
We have a lot of time.
Okay?
Okay.
[Nur] For God's sake, Sarah.
It's been months.
Why are you still crying
over someone who left you?
[Selly] I'm so sorry, Sarah.
I can't believe Satrio would do that.
Sarah, don't be sad.
You're as beautiful as ever.
It'll be easy to find someone new.
I just want to take a break.
I know you do.
But don't take too long.
Take it easy.
As beautiful divorcees,
we need to stick together
so that we can be a "DRD."
Sorry, but what is "DRD"?
A Dignified and Rich Divorcee.
But are you short on money?
If you are, I can cook for you.
Hey, of course she has money.
Her husband
I mean her ex-husband is rich.
Lots of money.
Insya Allah, all good.
Satrio wires me money every month.
Alhamdulillah, that's good.
But still, you must be prepared.
When he stops sending you money,
at least you'll still have some.
Right, Sarah.
You know how young wives are.
They ask for too much.
They want this and that.
Soon enough, he'll go bankrupt.
Just wait and see.
What if you sell your designs?
You have a good eye. I want to buy a lot,
so that I can send them
to my friends in Kuala Lumpur.
That's a great idea, Sarah!
You'd better start selling.
Just like a boutique product.
It looks very good!
So, you want to start selling?
[uplifting music playing]
[Satrio] Vijay.
Our cash flow is always negative,
but the stuff from Mumbai isn't here.
- Are you serious?
- Look.
Maybe they have some problem
in the production.
But why do we keep paying them?
Maybe they need some seed money
for the production
[angrily] You should've told me!
Did you forget? Back then,
you were on your honeymoon.
You can go on your honeymoon. So can I.
But the company has to keep running!
FINANCIAL CASH REPOR[Satrio] That's the spot. Right there.
Yes.
- You're so good.
- Honey.
I'm tired.
I've been cleaning all day.
I did some laundry, mopped the floor,
and ironed some clothes.
Look, all neat and tidy.
[chuckles]
But do me a favor.
Get some hot water ready. I'd like a bath.
- Again?
- Yes.
You're handsome, but you're so weak.
Afterwards, we'll pray together.
Okay?
[playfully] But
Let's take a bath together.
[laughing] Okay.
Okay, hold on.
[camera clicks]
[knocking on door]
Sir.
The bank keeps asking for a meeting.
[snapped] Just come up with something!
Can't you?
But the company's account got suspended.
Turns out, Mr. Vijay never made
the payment to Mumbai, sir.
He took off with all the company's money.
We're left with nothing.
[intense music playing]
Help, help!
[staff shouting in panic]
Hurry up!
[Sarah] Ustadzah, why does it feel like
we have so much hardship?
It seems endless.
What does it take for us
to be able to accept that?
Masya Allah, Tabarakallah.
Our life
will never be free from hardships.
Some people have trouble with money,
some others with kids,
some others with spouses.
Everyone faces different things.
But we need to keep in mind
that every hardship we face
will not exceed our limit.
"Allah does not burden anyone
beyond their capacity."
Let's wrap it up with hamdalah.
[in unison] Alhamdulillahirabbil alamin.
Assalamualaikum
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
[in unison] Waalaikumssalam
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
[softly] Relax, take it easy.
Leave it to me.
Assalamualaikum.
Assalamualaikum, ladies.
Hold on, give me a minute.
Please, wait.
I'm telling you that today,
Sarah brought her
beautiful hijab and pashmina.
Have a look. Show them, Sarah.
- [Sarah] Feel free to have a look.
- [Nur] Have a look.
[buyer] So pretty.
[Sarah] And also,
I made an Instagram account.
Please follow Sarinara.
[Selly] Hello?
You're here? Hold up.
Once you buy it, share it to the group.
Sarah, can you come with me?
I'd like you to meet someone.
He's my tailor.
I happen to have
a fitting appointment with him today.
- Okay.
- Nur, can you watch this?
All right.
There he is.
Hey.
So, meet Dimas.
Dimas, this is Sarah.
Dimas.
Sarah.
So I've seen your stuff on Instagram,
and I asked Selly to introduce us.
I was wondering if we could collaborate.
Oh, right.
Here's my business card.
For our next meeting,
we can keep in touch.
DON'T FORGET TO WIRE LAILA'S TUITION.
[door closes]
Where were you?
[Laila] Group project, Mom.
Why is your hair so messy?
When you'll be late home, tell me.
You're a girl. You still have a parent.
[quietly] Yes, Mom.
Now take a shower. It'll be Maghrib soon.
Let's pray together.
Mom.
[hesitates]
Can I ask for some money?
For an extracurricular.
How much?
Five hundred thousand.
If we don't pay it,
they'll kick me out of the club.
Okay, give me the school's account.
Just give it to me.
They don't do transfers. Cash only.
If you don't want to, it's fine.
I'll just get kicked out.
[pondering]
Let's wait till we get the transfer from
your dad. We're tight for this month.
[Laila clicks tongue]
THIS PROPERTY IS CONFISCATED
THIS HOUSE IS CONFISCATED
[security] Good afternoon, ma'am.
Can I help you?
[confused] Has this house been seized?
Yes, ma'am. Last month.
The owner has moved away.
- Where to?
- I'm not sure.
Maybe you can contact Ms. Annisa.
- Do you have her number?
- No.
- I do. Need to write it down?
- Yes.
[Annisa] Hello, Sarah. I'm Annisa.
[Sarah] Cut it out.
Where's your husband?
He's working.
Actually, I'm here for
I went to his office.
But it's closed.
Stop lying to my face.
He's home.
Why isn't he here?
Is he avoiding his responsibilities
toward his child?
[stammers] That's not it.
Actually, I didn't tell him
that I came here to see you.
I
I'd like to apologize
for making you suffer.
You think that by apologizing,
my life will be fine?
Enough. I want to meet your husband.
I'd like to talk to him.
I'm sorry. I have some
errands to do. Excuse me.
[intense music playing]
[indistinct street chatter]
[softly] Sorry. Excuse me.
[Annisa] Assalamualaikum, honey.
I was only out for a moment.
[Satrio] Are you leaving me?
[Annisa] Don't say that.
[Satrio, slurring] You're leaving me?
- [Annisa] I'm not leaving you.
- [Satrio] No.
You're leaving me, aren't you?
Stop saying that. I'm not leaving you.
Satrio?
Honey.
I don't know why Sarah's here.
[angrily] Get her out of here.
Yes, honey. Calm down.
[slurring] Now!
- Honey, please calm down.
- Now!
Calm down, don't panic.
Please, stop crying.
Honey.
- Hold on.
- I don't want to see her.
[Annisa sighs deeply]
[door locks]
Stroke?
He had a stroke
when his company went bankrupt.
We had to sell
the assets for meds and therapy.
His savings?
All gone.
I can't even go to work
because I need to take care of him.
[loud knocking]
[debt collector]
Good afternoon, Ms. Annisa!
[knocking loudly] We know you're in there!
- Honey
- Come on out!
- They're back.
- Pay your debts!
[Annisa] Honey
Have you taken an online loan?
No, we didn't.
My mother did with my ID.
- I didn't
- Force it open!
[banging on door]
Pay up or we're breaking in!
Ma'am, we're breaking in!
Hey, hey!
What's with all the noise?
You're being too loud!
[debt collector] Stay out of it, sir!
[neighbor] What did you say?
[neighbors yelling angrily]
[debt collector 1] Easy, sir.
[debt collector 2] Let's go.
We'll be back tomorrow!
[Annisa] Honey, we need to go.
Honey, what do we do?
[softly] Sarah.
I'm really sorry.
But
But can we sleep at your place
just for tonight?
[angry grunts]
[slurring] No!
Honey.
I'm tired, honey.
Those guys came every day.
I'm tired, honey!
But
But it's only temporary,
until you get a new place.
Thank you.
[pained groan]
I don't want to.
I don't want to!
Honey.
I don't want to.
- I don't want to.
- Honey.
It's not for you.
It's for Laila.
[Laila] Hello, babe.
You're here?
Okay.
Wait.
I'm heading out.
Wait until it's safe.
Mrs. Tuti.
Yes, ma'am?
Take them to the guest room.
Yes, ma'am.
This way, sir, Ms. Annisa.
[Satrio] Laila.
Mom.
Your dad is sick, Laila.
So?
Why is he here?
We need to help people in need,
especially your dad.
He left us, Mom!
Mom
Are you dumb?
Laila. Where are you going?
I just want to remind you.
This is just temporary.
Don't let the neighbors see you.
Yes.
Home.
Home!
- Home!
- Honey.
- Home.
- Where to? We have nothing.
I'm ashamed.
I'm ashamed.
You think I'm not ashamed?
I'm the one asking her a favor.
I'm begging your ex-wife for mercy!
That's even more shameful!
Please, just this once,
for your own good, and for us both,
this time, listen to me, honey.
Please?
[dramatic music playing]
Mom, I'm heading out.
Breakfast?
No need. Assalamualaikum.
[Sarah] Waalaikumsalam.
Have some breakfast.
Okay.
Your husband had a stroke.
So no salty food.
[softly] Okay.
[Dimas] The testimonies are all good.
Maybe I'll substitute some fabrics,
so it won't be too expensive,
and we get a good price.
I know you're good at selling, Dimas.
But I'm not after the quantity.
I know.
But everyone is selling the same thing.
It only differs in price,
around 5,000 rupiah.
Exactly.
This isn't just any product.
I'm selling a feeling.
So when people buy my product,
it's because they feel pretty,
not because of the discount.
I've been selling for decades,
but I never thought about it that way.
I could sell batches.
But what you have here
is different.
- Is it done?
- In a minute, ma'am.
Let me help you.
[light music playing]
Anything I can help you with?
Please chop some spring onions.
Okay.
[mumbling] So hard.
[knife chopping]
Annisa, stop!
I asked you to chop spring onions,
not lemongrass.
[gasps, stammers]
That's okay. Now get me some cabbage.
We'll stir-fry it. It's in the fridge.
Okay.
[gasps]
There's a lot of them.
Is it this one?
[stifled laugh]
- No.
- No? [Laughs awkwardly]
- [Annisa] Does it hurt?
- [Satrio chuckles].
Move your right leg,
I'll help with the left one.
Come on. You're good?
- Does it hurt?
- [chuckles]
[Satrio stammers] Alhamdulillah
hirabbil alamin.
Arrah
[Laila] By the way.
You're always out.
Aren't your parents mad at you?
[chuckles] My mom? She won't be mad.
She's busy with her new boyfriend.
He's ugly.
Don't you want your parents to reconcile?
[mockingly] Reconcile?
No way. They're enemies now.
Well, there's no way God
didn't listen to my prayers, right?
You prayed?
You still do that nowadays?
You're kidding me.
Stop hoping for them to reconcile!
Okay, ma'am, sir.
Welcome to
the Nusantara Modest Fashion Festival.
- Thank you, ma'am.
- Thank you.
Alhamdulillah.
But do we have enough seed money?
We do, but we might need to
cut off some budgets.
Relax, don't think about it.
Now we need to expedite
Sarinara's production.
[gasps] It's empty.
I'll get some more for you.
Thank you.
I'm sorry I can't give you much.
I'm just a guest here.
Assalamualaikum, Sarah!
Waalaikumsalam.
[panicked] How come
How come you're here unannounced?
What, do I have to call first?
I'm just here to check on you.
You haven't been going to the lecture,
and the ladies were wondering,
"Where's Sarah?"
So busy with your entrepreneur stuff?
Sarah, I have to go.
[gasps] Oh, you're here.
Dimas just dropped off some fabrics.
Some fabrics, huh? But
Remember, don't hang out together
too much.
Something bad could happen.
No, I'm about to head home.
I just went to the toilet.
Let me know if there's anything you need.
Assalamualaikum.
[in unison] Waalaikumsalam.
So, you have someone new, huh?
It's not like that.
If I were you,
even if there was nothing,
I'd pretend there was.
So, I'm just passing on a message.
They want a uniform made.
Can you make it?
- A uniform?
- Yes.
[hesitates]
I'll do it. Insya Allah.
Will you? I'll let them know,
and I'll get back to you.
- Okay?
- Okay.
But remember, if anything happens,
don't forget to let me know.
Assalamualaikum, Sarah.
Waalaikumsalam.
I'm sorry.
You're breaking my rules.
I told you not to go out!
What if my friend had seen you?
I know.
I'm sorry.
[rain pattering]
[Satrio] Laila.
[thunder rumbling]
Laila?
[indistinct] I miss Laila.
Honey.
Don't be sad.
I'm sure
Laila misses you too.
- Laila?
- Yes, Mom.
Hold on.
What is it?
This is for your extracurricular.
Please ask the teacher
if we can pay in installments.
This is all I have for now.
When I sell all the hijabs,
I'll pay for the rest.
Yes, Mom.
Study hard, okay.
[laughs] Baby, pick me up tonight.
[EDM music blasting]
Money, money.
- Hurry up!
- You're asking for money?
Not bad.
[mumbling] So stingy.
Here.
What the hell? Just this?
Chill, you have me.
[Leo clears throat]
- Take this.
- [Kiki gasps]
Let's party again!
[cheer in unison]
[Laila] Thank you, I love you!
[whispers] Laila.
Are you okay?
Are you drunk?
Shut up!
[sighs] Laila.
Laila.
Laila!
- [retching]
- Come on. Over here!
Hold it!
[vomiting]
Come on, over here.
[door thumps closed]
[Annisa] Here. Let me help. Let it out.
[coughing]
Poor you.
Don't touch me.
[coughing continues]
Keep it down, your mom will hear.
[knocking on door]
Drop the act.
[Sarah] Annisa?
[whispers] Hurry, over here.
[knocking continues]
[hushes softly]
[water trickles]
[whispers] Keep quiet.
[Sarah] Annisa?
- [retching]
- What happened?
I don't feel well.
Get some rest.
[softly] Okay.
[relieved sigh]
[soft music playing]
Still feeling nauseous?
No.
Next time, drink a lot of water.
It's better if you
don't drink at all, but
But, I understand.
Take care of yourself.
[cell phone ringing]
- Assalamualaikum
- [Annisa's mom] Where are you?
The debt collectors are after me!
You ungrateful brat!
Your husband said he'd give
me money? Where is it?
Unfilial child, do you hear me?
[sobbing] I love you, Mom.
I love you so much.
But I just can't live that way anymore.
I can't! [Cries]
[choked up] I'll pray
that you stay healthy.
Why didn't your husband help you?
That's not it.
I
I troubled him too much.
So I don't want to burden him anymore.
I never dreamed of being a second wife.
But
That night,
his sincerity was my salvation.
[Annisa chuckles]
Thank you for taking me home.
My pleasure.
I'm heading in, then.
- Good night.
- Night.
[Annisa's mom] You promiscuous girl!
You're home late with no money!
[Annisa] Mom! Ouch!
[Annisa crying]
[Annisa] Mom, enough! Stop, Mom!
Mom, stop it! I
[whimpers]
Annisa? Open the door!
- Annisa!
- Mr. Satrio!
Annisa, open the door.
[crying]
Sir!
Come here! How dare you?!
Sir, help me.
So you're taking her home?
If you're serious,
take her away!
Just buy her off!
I don't want to take care of her!
Don't listen to her, sir.
Ma'am.
I'll give her a place to stay.
So you won't need
to take care of her anymore.
Don't you dare!
She's my child!
Pay me back for what I spent on her!
I'll marry her.
[Annisa sniffles]
Annisa.
- [sobbing]
- Come on.
Please forgive my mom, sir.
Thank you for lying for my sake.
I wasn't lying.
No, sir.
I'm a nobody.
I don't deserve you.
[Sarah] So, is that what keeps you going?
Yes.
For me, he's not just a husband.
He's my home.
[Annisa sobbing]
Even though I realized
that he didn't belong to me.
Um
Tomorrow, please give me a hand.
I have a lot of orders.
Yes.
[light music playing]
Dad.
[hesitates]
Don't you
want to see me swim?
I can dive now.
Dad.
I'd love to see that.
I want to see you swim.
[gentle laughter]
See? I can do it.
That means I can go diving? [Laughs]
[softly] You can.
But,
promise me.
Maintain
Your grades
at school.
Graduate from college.
Promise. [Laughs]
I told you, Sarah is busy
with her business.
You've never owned a business, have you?
Haven't you guys dated before?
You know, a woman who's dating
will vanish from her friends.
So what if she's dating?
Nur, don't get me wrong.
We're talking about a man and a woman.
Being alone in the house.
There could be adultery!
For God's sake, istighfar!
That's not it!
As the neighborhood chief,
I'm being responsible here.
If you don't believe me, let's prove it.
- Shut up.
- [Selly] Wati.
[doorbell ringing]
Assalamualaikum!
Sarah!
It's Wati.
I'm here to collect the lecture fee.
What fee? Let's just go back.
[grunts]
Assalamu Excuse me.
- Ma'am
- Assalamualaikum!
[Wati] Sarah!
I'm sorry, ma'am.
They forced their way in.
Wati, Nur, Selly, you're here.
How come Satrio is here with
[Nur hesitates]
His mistress.
[Nur] She's not. His new wife.
Haven't seen him in a while.
Yes.
He's here for Laila.
But you guys are divorced, right?
Of course.
So where is Laila?
Laila
[stammers] She has tutoring.
So, here's the thing, Sarah.
We're here to collect the lecture fee.
I'll pay you tomorrow.
Okay, tomorrow then.
You're coming to the lecture, right?
We haven't gathered in a while.
Yes.
We'll take our leave, then.
Satrio and the mistress
I mean, his second wife. We're off.
- [Nur] Assalamualaikum.
- Assalamualaikum.
[Sarah] Waalaikumsalam.
- Sarah, can I use the bathroom?
- Okay.
Wait for me at the porch.
[Sarah] Okay then.
Slowly.
[Sarah] Wati. Ustadzah.
I am no saint.
But I'm not committing adultery.
I'm just helping people in need.
If there's anything wrong
with my intention,
let Allah be the judge,
not people.
Sarah, now you live among people!
People judge!
Besides, I have proof. Here's the picture!
Istighfar, Wati.
Being emotional is useless.
I'm sure Sarah has her own reason.
Enough, ladies.
It's better for us to clear the air.
It's not good to accuse
without clear proof.
You trust me, right, Nur?
You don't even trust me.
You never told me about this.
I didn't tell you to avoid
this kind of situation.
Being judged.
[sighs] I had to.
He's sick.
I had to help him.
Sarah.
It's fine to be kind.
But this doesn't make any sense.
In the end, there'll be consequences
for your "kindness."
Just admit it.
You still love him, right?
Laila?
- [gasps]
- What's wrong?
[chuckles] Nothing.
What are you hiding? Show me.
[jokingly] Let me see that.
Laila.
Come here.
You
Why do you bring home alcohol?
This is for.
Leo's birthday present.
Your boyfriend?
- [chuckles]
- Laila. How could you?
If your mom finds out, she'll be mad.
Don't tell anyone, please.
So
Where should I keep it?
[clicks tongue]
Here. Let me keep it.
- Would you?
- Okay.
[laughs] Thank you.
But
in return, please
teach me how to wear hijab.
[laughs]
Why do you laugh?
Okay, I'll teach you.
Please don't cancel the order, ma'am.
I have 300 pieces ready for your event.
[customer] Sorry, Ms. Sarah.
I found another vendor that's cheaper.
Maybe next time.
I see. Thank you very much, ma'am.
Assalamualaikum.
What do we do, Dimas?
We have many cancelled orders.
Sarinara's Instagram
is filled with hate comments.
Calm down.
Let's solve it one step at a time.
I'm sorry for taking you out
at a time like this.
But don't stress over it.
We still have
the Nusantara Modest Fashion Festival.
I should apologize.
My personal issues
affected our business.
I'm glad to be bothered by you.
To me, you're more than just
a business partner.
[clears throat]
Aside from
celebrating our success
in getting into the fashion show,
I'd like to give you this.
Insya Allah,
I'm ready to provide for you and Laila.
I promise that Laila will have
access to higher education.
[muffled chatter]
[laughing]
[Annisa] It should match.
What about this way?
- Maybe it's the upper part!
- [Laila] It's not done yet.
[Annisa] It's slanted, fix it.
[Laila laughs]
- [Laila] Use the pushpin.
- Right.
- Do you have one?
- [Laila] I don't.
[Annisa] You don't? Gosh.
[laughing]
[laughter stops abruptly]
Don't come upstairs.
Your room is downstairs.
Okay.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
[keyboard clacking]
What do I do?
[Satrio clears throat]
Is Dimas a good business partner?
When will you make some profit?
You should've
paid more attention to cash flow
rather than revenue.
No need to lecture me.
Your company went bankrupt.
You got scammed.
[whispers] Yes, I got scammed
by Vijay.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
[Laila] Hello, Ms. Annisa?
Can you wait for me
at the park near our home?
I'd like to take Leo's bottle
and head to his party.
Can you? Please.
Laila.
You'll get scolded again
for coming home late.
Is Dimas being honest with you?
Don't tell me
that he's just after you.
You're not my husband anymore!
I have a right to choose for my future.
Laila, looks like it's not a good time.
Your parents are fighting. Later, okay?
Nothing new. They fight all the time.
I promise,
I won't be home later than 9:00 p.m. Okay?
Okay, but
[quietly] Promise not to drink.
Yes, I promise not to drink.
Dimas proposed.
I said yes.
Sarah.
You're sure he's being sincere?
He might take advantage of you!
What do you know about Dimas?
He's more sincere than you.
You didn't even choose your family!
Enough. You don't have a say
about me and Dimas.
[gasps]
[Sarah] What's that?
[stammers]
What are you hiding?
[intense music playing]
Astaghfirullahaladzim. Alcohol!
[glass shatters]
Do you drink at my house?
I don't
Get out of here! Get out!
Sarah!
Let her explain.
Your wife is hiding alcohol!
How dare you bring that
wretched thing here?
What if Laila saw and tried it?
Will you be responsible?
I helped you, and this is what I get?
You think I'm stupid?
So you treat me like this, huh?
- Get out of here, now!
- Enough!
If you kick her out,
you're kicking me out too.
You're all better now, right?
What more do you want here?
[whispers] Annisa.
Honey, I'm sorry. I
We're going home.
[quietly] Honey, I'm so sorry.
[Annisa] That wasn't mine.
[Laila] Okay.
[Laila] Thank you.
Where are you going, Dad?
- Where are you going?
- Laila.
Please visit me often.
Dad, what's wrong this time?
Ms. Annisa.
What's wrong?
Please visit here often.
Laila.
Get in.
Take care.
Laila!
Get in!
From now on, stick with me
wherever you go.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS WEEKEND
[dial tone]
BABE, I'M SORRY I CAN'T GO
TO YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY.
MY MOM SNAPPED AGAIN.
HI, LAILA, HOW ARE YOU? COME HANG OUAT MY HOUSE SOMETIME, OKAY?
I don't like it
that you're too close with Annisa.
You don't know her.
Why did you even kick them out?
You want to know?
She was hiding alcohol in this house.
I kicked her out.
Enough.
I'm not talking about her again.
Finish your food.
Mom. Please.
Bring them back to this house.
What do you mean?
Stop talking nonsense.
No, Mom.
That bottle was mine.
It was for my boyf
For my friend's birthday.
Stop taking her side.
The neighbors turned against me
because of her!
But you brought them in!
I know.
Now I realize that was wrong.
Mom, please. I'm begging you.
Listen to me just this once.
Dad is sick.
What if something happens to him?
Laila!
How could you worry about your dad?
When will you worry about me?
I've worked hard.
I've provided for you since he left.
I did everything, just for you!
Yes!
Of course, Mom!
[crying] It's all about you!
Everyone must understand you!
Everyone must listen to you!
You only think about yourself.
Since you're divorced, have you
ever asked how I was doing?
[sobbing]
Have you ever cared about me?
You just kept scolding me.
Whatever I did, I was always at fault!
Ms. Annisa was the only one
who cared about me.
Not my own mom.
You have no idea
what it feels like to be me.
This is my home.
So follow my rules.
[chair screeching]
[sobbing softly] Dear God.
Astaghfirullah.
[sobbing] Astaghfirullahaladzim.
Astaghfirullahaladzim.
[debt collector] Annisa.
I know you're home.
Get out, pay up.
Annisa, come on. Pay
Don't keep running away.
- Pay up.
- It wasn't my debt.
I don't care, it was your number!
I got scammed.
If you want to collect the money, wait.
This is her number and address.
You're lying!
Whatever, believe it or not.
Now go! If you keep bothering me,
I'll go to the police.
Okay.
But if we can't find her,
we're coming for you!
Just you wait!
[relieved sigh]
Honey.
Why are you smiling?
[knocking on door]
I told you
Laila?
Hey.
- Assalamualaikum, Dad.
- Waalaikumsalam.
Your mom knows you're here?
Mom
Can I stay here?
[softly] Yes, you can.
Can I?
Of course.
Thank you.
I feel like I've done everything.
But I failed.
Why is life so unfair?
I'm tired, Dimas.
Share your burdens with me.
I'm ready for anything with you.
I'm ready to marry you.
Sarah.
I
I can't.
May I know why?
I can't.
Don't tell me you're getting back
together with Satrio.
I don't get what's in your head.
He betrayed you. He left your child.
And yet you still love him?
I'm sorry, Dimas.
I can't.
Sarah.
Sarah.
Assalamualaikum, Kiki.
Do you know where Laila is?
Why isn't she home yet?
[gasps]
She didn't go to school?
Kiki.
Can you help me?
Please find Laila.
Please, Kiki.
Yes. Assalamualaikum.

Pick up the phone, Laila!

What do we name her?
Let's name her Laila.
Laila.
[Sarah exclaims happily]
Laila's so smart. Turn around.
Hi, Laila.
Here, catch this.
[exclaims happily]
- [Satrio] Throw it to Mom.

I'm here to take.
Laila's clothes and books.
Thank you.
She's doing well.
She's diligent.
She can't stand being messy, just like
her mother.
I'm not a good mother.
Please, take care of her.
No.
You're a great woman.
The best mother for Laila.
You are

[doorbell ringing]
- Hold on.
- Okay.
Assalamualaikum, ma'am.
Waalaikumsalam.
Is this Mr. Muhammad Satrio Arafa's house?
How can I help you?
We're from Makmur Sentosa Bank.
We're here to give you this letter.
[intense music playing]
Laila, please give this to Kiki.
Tell her, get well soon.
Thank you.
[annoyed sigh]
Hello?
Baby.
Are you picking me up?
I've been waiting.
[Leo] Sorry. Can you go home alone today?
I'm [clears throat] Not feeling well.
Okay then. Get well soon, baby.
Yes, baby. Thank you.
Okay. I love
[call disconnects]
[Laila gasps]
You guys are crazy!
Laila!
Laila, wait!
Laila, please! Let me explain!
[Leo] Laila!
[sobbing]
[Sarah] How could you?
What is this?
Please, explain to me!
I was wrong.
I mortgaged that house
for wedding expenses and
to buy a home for Annisa.
Honey.
I thought.
I could cover the installments, but
I was wrong.
So I've been living in the house
that you pawned,
and you didn't tell me?
I was a coward!
I didn't dare to tell you. I was scared.
[heavy sigh]
I thought everything was fine!
Look, I don't want to bring up the past.
We'd better think forward
and find the solution.
The house was meant for Laila, right?
No matter what we do and whatever will be,
everything is for Laila.
Assalamualaikum.
[in unison] Waalaikumsalam.
[Laila sobbing]
Mom.
[whimpering] Mom.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Forgive me.
I'm sorry.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Dear God.
- [Laila sobbing]
- There, there.
Forgive me.
[Nur] Really, Sarah.
I don't get it.
It's like your hardship never ends.
My body is heavy,
but your life is heavier.
I'm not giving up.
[Selly] Assalamualaikum.
[in unison] Waalaikumsalam.
[Sarah] Selly.
Thank you for coming.
You know what?
You amazed me.
You remain as kind as ever
in a world full of bitter
and cynical people.
That means, you agree
to help us with the new business.
We need a tailor, right?
[Selly laughs] Insya Allah.
Not just as a tailor,
I can be your investor.
[Nur gasps] Alhamdulillah!
[Sarah] Alhamdulillah!
Selly, thank you so much.
Look, I told you.
Selly has a lot of friends,
from stitchers to snitchers.
- Thank you very much!
- Thank you, Selly.
But we need to make a new brand
to make it to
the Nusantara Modest Fashion Festival.
[grunts] Dimas took over Sarinara.
[tuts] Darn it.
It's fine.
We'll make our own design.
Design?
[Sarah] Thank you!
[Nur] Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
[Sarah] Bismillah.
[soft music playing]
[Nur] Remember, if you need anything,
just tell me, okay?
[Sarah] What do you think?
[Laila] It's pretty, Mom.
How about this one?
I like the pattern and
Honey.
This one.
It looks like
I'll bring Laila her food.
Right.
Here, have some food.
This is my favorite, sambal matah chicken?
Thank you, Mom.
Can I talk to you?
[groans softly]
I've been thinking.
It's all because Allah made me
Pay for my sins.
Allah broke us apart because.
I was greedy.
And Laila became the victim.
I don't deserve forgiveness.
[sobs] But, I'm trying.
I'm trying to make up for
My sins toward you both.
Until my last breath.
I'm sorry.
[faintly] I'm sorry.

Sarah.
Masya Allah, we've been busy
since morning! I couldn't even sit!
- Really?
- Yes!
- [Sarah] Annisa.
- Yes?
Please recap our stock in the warehouse.
The department store will need a restock.
Okay. Please cover for me.
Give me a minute.
Would you like this one? Okay.
Laila, please have it wrapped.

Alhamdulillah, 500,000 rupiah
accepted via QRIS Hijra Netzme.
God bless you.
Alhamdulillah, we have lots of customers.
Yes.
Wati?

I'm so sorry
about my accusation.
[relieved sigh]
[feel-good music playing]
Hey!
Why are you so tense? We're best friends!
Come here. You missed me, right?
- Give me a hug. Don't be shy.

[Sarah] Thank You, Allah.
Because You've shown me
that along with hardship,
indeed, there is ease.

have mercy on me.
Bless me.
Help me live better.
Raise me higher.
Grant me guidance.
And
Please, forgive me.
[grunts in annoyance]
- I won!
- You cheated!
- What did I do?
- You got in late!
- [Satrio] Are you kidding me?
- [Laila] One more time.
- [Laila] Dad, hold me.
- Come on. One, two, three.
Honey, Laila. Come on.
I won, right? Believe me now?
Come on up.
We need to get ready.
Honey, you too.
Come on.
Laila. Come on, get ready.
[light music playing]
Let me.
You're still wet, Laila.
It's your birthday.
Why am I getting a present?
I have one more gift for you.
I ordered you a new batch of fabric.
And the pattern matches exactly
with your concept last week.
But I haven't finalized the concept.
That's why I'm helping you.
You're thinking too much.
It takes you too long.
Now get to work. Okay?
Honey. I'll get to it later.
Let me see. The design is good.
The color is perfect.
What else is there to do?
Work on it. Okay?
Let's go, Mom.
Why didn't you wear the outfit
that I prepared for you?
Still pretty. [Chuckles]
But then it won't match our outfits.
Go get changed, okay.
[whispers] Get changed.
- Okay.
- [Sarah] Five minutes?
Ten.
[ustadz] Alhamdulillah wa syukurillah,
we have gathered here today
as a celebration of gratitude
for the birthday of our brother
Mr. Muhammad Satrio Arafa.
Let us pray
that he is granted good health,
lives a long life,
and is blessed in this life.
[in unison] Amen.

Let's clean this up.

- The pattern's pretty.
- Right.
The fabric's good.
[Nur] and the color.
Masya Allah, Sarah.
All the designs look so pretty.
Where did you buy this, Sarah?
What do you mean, buy?
I didn't buy it. It's my own design.
[exclaims] Really?
It's as good as the famous brands
at the Nusantara Modest Fashion Festival.
If you sell this in Kuala Lumpur,
it'll sell well.
- Are you serious?
- Really?
Mm-hmm.
- They like this kind of design?
- [woman] Mm-hmm.
- Let's switch it.
- No way!
This suits you better.
No, I want this one.
[grunts] So stingy.
[grunts] You're coveting what others have.
[Wati] Sarah.
Sarah. I'm sorry, about the debt
It's fine, never mind.
You don't have to pay it back.
You're so kind.
You're pretty and have a good heart.
Thank you so much.
This looks very good as well.
I'm heading back, Sarah, Satrio.
- Assalamualaikum.
- Waalaikumsalam.
[clicks tongue]
Sarah, I've warned you before
not to be overly kind to others.
They're taking advantage of you.
No, Nur. Insya Allah,
I'll get better things in return.
- [Laila] Let's go.
- How is it?
I talked to my friend.
Let's go. We're off, then.
We're off. Thank you for coming.
My pleasure.
- Assalamualaikum.
- [in unison] Waalaikumsalam.
[Satrio] So, what was it?
So, want to find a husband? [Laughs]
[Vijay] Yes, honey,
we'll go to Bali again.
Wait for the long weekend.
Just us. Oh, no.
Don't get yourself wet.
I'll get you a car.
Two doors or four doors?
If it's two doors, it's sporty. Hold on.
[phone vibrates]
Hello? Yes, honey.
I'm with Satrio. Need a video call?
[chuckles] No?
Transfer? Our kid's tuition?
Again? Okay, I'll wire it to you.
But don't spend it on shopping.
Okay. Bye, love you. Take care.
Just eat!
I've lost my appetite seeing your antics.
Seeing my antics or
seeing the same menu?
Even I got sick of it.
You're jealous, huh?
Because your wife never
cooks for you like this.
Which wife?
One is vegan.
The other one likes beef.
The way I see it,
you have no respect for women.
You always judged them with this.
That's the point.
I respect women.
I chose one,
making sure that it was my choice.
I married her, and I make sure
that she and our kid have a better future.
As for the others,
they have their own place.
There's a difference, buddy,
between loving someone
and putting her on a leash.
Hold on. You're saying
I must be faithful to my mistress?
What for? If I could,
I'd change them once a week, man!
- [knocking on door]
- Yes?
- Excuse me, sir.
- Yes.
This is the file you requested.
TO MR. SATRIO ARAFA
& MR. VIJAY SINGH
[Vijay] What took you so long?
[chuckles nervously] I just got it, sir.
[chuckles] I just got it as well.
- Excuse me, sir.
- Okay.
Hey, stop it.
No need to take the new staff's side.
Just eat!
Want me to feed you?
[Vijay] Odd Number.
Odd Number. Yeah, you.
Are you
busy tonight?
No, sir.
Okay. So there's a client from Mumbai.
Get the table ready, will you?
I'm sorry, sir. I can't.
I'm done with that stuff.
I know. That's why you work here. Right?
It's our guest.
The company's client.
You're helping the company.
Relax, I'll be there.
[hesitates] An?
Annisa, sir.
- Excuse me.
- Yeah.
[EDM music blasting]
[Vijay] Everything is in place.
[speaking Hindi] Okay, we have a deal.
[speaking Hindi] Give us a discount.
[speaking Hindi] Give us a moment.
[speaking Hindi] Sure, go ahead.
[speaking Hindi] So?
Hold on, I've got a secret weapon.
There we go.
Look.
[speaking Hindi] Girls, everyone!
Okay, deal?
- Deal.
- Deal!
Deal! It's a pleasure
doing business with you.
Vijay, why is our receptionist here?
Why did you bring her? You're nuts!
[Vijay] Think. It's much cheaper
to bring our staff
- Not for this!
- Why?
She's pretty, right? She's perfect.
Odd Number, come here.
Of course you want that girl. Come, come.
Yeah, you're with him.
I know she's your type.
[Vijay exclaims in amusement]
Okay, come on, let's party!
What do you want?
Let's drink! Please, drink!
For you, this much will do.
[Vijay] You do this all the time. Here.
Just drink.
Come on!
- It's okay.
- [Vijay] We're not in the office.
There you go! Have some more.
Drink up, yeah!
Satrio, where are you going?
[Vijay exclaims] Hey!
How lame! It's fine.
He just needs to use the restroom.
- [bartender] What can I get you, sir?
- Mineral water.
Coming right up.
WHY AREN'T YOU HOME YET?
YOUR DINNER'S GETTING COLD.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
I'M STILL STUCK WITH VIJAY. GO TO SLEEP.
Baby, come on.
Very nice.
[girl] Come on.
Hey.
- Don't touch me.
- Hey.
Don't you want a bonus?
Stop it!
Hold up. Annisa!
[panting]
Mr. Satrio.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry, sir.
Wait. I can't let you leave like this.
Let me get you a cab.
Or let me drive you home?
Need some water?
Thank you, sir.
[gentle piano playing]
[door opens]
Assalamualaikum. You're still up?
Waalaikumsalam.
I can't sleep when your meeting
is in the nightclub.
You know that Vijay made me.
I tried to say no.
I'm sorry.
Are you
wearing a new perfume?
[stammers]
The club was really crowded.
Must have rubbed off on me.
I'm taking a shower.
[elevator dings]
- Good morning, sir.
- Morning.
Do we have a guest?
Hold on, let me check.
Not today.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
[Annisa] Sir.
Excuse me, but
I brought you something.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking me home
last night, sir.
No worries. Sorry for the trouble.
- Not at all, sir.
- Thank you.
[knocking on door]
Come in.
Excuse me, sir.
Would you like to have tea or coffee?
You're still here?
[chuckles] I'm not going home
when my boss is still here.
I still have so much work to do.
Well, waiting for you is a part of my job.
But I can't possibly take it home with me,
so I'm getting it done here.
It's okay.
I'll wait for you, sir.
Tea or coffee?
Tea.
[soft music playing]
[inaudible conversation]
Sir.
Is it okay for me to eat here?
It's okay. The others eat here too.
I brought you some fabrics.
Honey, we still have a lot,
and I haven't used them.
[inaudible conversation]
- Have you packed your towel?
- I have, Dad.
- Pajamas?
- I have.
So everything's ready?
Yes.
[Sarah] Your vitamins and toothbrush?
[in unison] Done.
As soon as you get there, call me.
Don't be a nuisance to Kiki's mother.
And don't stay up late.
- Yes, Mom.
- Off you go.
- I'm off.
- Okay.
- Assalamualaikum.
- Waalaikumsalam.
[laughs]
- Dad.
- Take care.
- Bye, Dad.
- Bye.
Laila, wear your hijab.
Got it!
Hello, beautiful. Are you okay?
I'm okay. Hi, baby. Miss you.
You can sleep over at Kiki's now?
Thanks to my dad.
[chuckles] Your dad sounds cool.
I like him.
[Laila laughs] Just date him, then.
[Leo] No way, I just want his daughter.
[water pouring]
- Mrs. Tuti.
- Yes, Sir?
Just go home. I'll do the dishes.
Okay, sir.
Thank you.
What is it, honey?
Why did you send her home? That's unusual.
[hesitates, clears throat]
I need to talk to you.
What is it? You're making me nervous.
Okay, let's talk while eating.
It'll get cold.
Here it is.
Honey, let's eat.
[hesitates, clears throat]
Sarah, please don't be mad.
I
I'm asking for your permission
To take another wife.
[melancholic music playing]
Sarah, open the door.
[sobbing]
[crying loudly]
Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi.
Who is it?
Since when?
She's a good girl.
- She needs some guidance.
- Who is it?
Since when?
[sighs]
[quietly] Annisa.
[trembling voice] Astaghfirullahaladzim.
You're unhappy with our marriage,
and cheated with your receptionist?
Sarah.
I'm asking for your permission
because I don't want to cheat on you.
I'm being honest.
I'm asking for your blessing.
I'm begging you, Sarah.
I have to do this because
Annisa needs help.
It's the only way.
You mean by marrying her?
What exactly does she need
that you must marry her?
If you have such a noble intention,
then choose her.
I can't do this.
Sarah, please.
Sarah, I'm begging you.
Wait, Sarah!
I don't want a divorce.
I love you both.
Please.
Think about Laila.
You should've thought about her
before having an affair
with your receptionist.
- [Laila] Assalamualaikum.
- [in unison] Waalaikumsalam.
Dad!
[gasps]
Going on a business trip again?
Why didn't you tell me?
Dad.
Laila.
We need to talk to you.
What about, Dad?
Laila.
Mom and Dad
Are splitting up.
We're getting a divorce.
No.
What are you saying?
Mom.
What happened?
Answer me!
Why?
Laila.
Even if we aren't together,
nothing will change.
Nothing will change?
What do you mean?
[hysterically] If you live apart,
then what about me?
Will I have to go back and forth
between two houses?
Is that it? Answer me, Dad!
[sobbing] Answer me!
You'll understand.
How could I?
I won't understand unless
you explain it to me!
Answer me, Dad!
Mom, answer me! Don't just stand there!
[cries] You can't leave!
Laila, enough.
- Dad, don't go!
- Laila, enough!
Enough.
[sobs quietly]
You're both selfish!
[Satrio] I accept in marriage.
Annisa Maharani binti Indra Suryadi,
with the aforementioned dowry.
[officiant] Witnesses? All good?
[dramatic music playing]
[crying]
[Laila's friends cheering]
[Sarah reciting from the Quran]
[sobbing]
ASSALAMUALAIKUM, SWEETHEART.
I LOVE YOU, LAILA.
[sighs]
- Good morning.
- [Annisa] Morning.
- [Annisa laughs]
- [exclaims] What is it?
I made you rice with fried egg
and vegetables.
Okay, let me try.
Yes, try it.
Is it good?
[awkward laugh]
Honey, what's wrong?
[coughing]
Too salty!
- Seriously?
- Yes.
I'll have some water.
[Satrio coughing]
How was it?
It's good?
[laughing] Tasty?
Honey, don't mock me.
I told you, I can't cook.
Just throw it away.
Aw, please don't be mad.
You're prettier when you're mad.
[laughing]
Annisa.
When you're ready,
is it okay for Laila to stay here?
[hesitates]
What if she hates me?
Take it slow.
We have a lot of time.
Okay?
Okay.
[Nur] For God's sake, Sarah.
It's been months.
Why are you still crying
over someone who left you?
[Selly] I'm so sorry, Sarah.
I can't believe Satrio would do that.
Sarah, don't be sad.
You're as beautiful as ever.
It'll be easy to find someone new.
I just want to take a break.
I know you do.
But don't take too long.
Take it easy.
As beautiful divorcees,
we need to stick together
so that we can be a "DRD."
Sorry, but what is "DRD"?
A Dignified and Rich Divorcee.
But are you short on money?
If you are, I can cook for you.
Hey, of course she has money.
Her husband
I mean her ex-husband is rich.
Lots of money.
Insya Allah, all good.
Satrio wires me money every month.
Alhamdulillah, that's good.
But still, you must be prepared.
When he stops sending you money,
at least you'll still have some.
Right, Sarah.
You know how young wives are.
They ask for too much.
They want this and that.
Soon enough, he'll go bankrupt.
Just wait and see.
What if you sell your designs?
You have a good eye. I want to buy a lot,
so that I can send them
to my friends in Kuala Lumpur.
That's a great idea, Sarah!
You'd better start selling.
Just like a boutique product.
It looks very good!
So, you want to start selling?
[uplifting music playing]
[Satrio] Vijay.
Our cash flow is always negative,
but the stuff from Mumbai isn't here.
- Are you serious?
- Look.
Maybe they have some problem
in the production.
But why do we keep paying them?
Maybe they need some seed money
for the production
[angrily] You should've told me!
Did you forget? Back then,
you were on your honeymoon.
You can go on your honeymoon. So can I.
But the company has to keep running!
FINANCIAL CASH REPOR[Satrio] That's the spot. Right there.
Yes.
- You're so good.
- Honey.
I'm tired.
I've been cleaning all day.
I did some laundry, mopped the floor,
and ironed some clothes.
Look, all neat and tidy.
[chuckles]
But do me a favor.
Get some hot water ready. I'd like a bath.
- Again?
- Yes.
You're handsome, but you're so weak.
Afterwards, we'll pray together.
Okay?
[playfully] But
Let's take a bath together.
[laughing] Okay.
Okay, hold on.
[camera clicks]
[knocking on door]
Sir.
The bank keeps asking for a meeting.
[snapped] Just come up with something!
Can't you?
But the company's account got suspended.
Turns out, Mr. Vijay never made
the payment to Mumbai, sir.
He took off with all the company's money.
We're left with nothing.
[intense music playing]
Help, help!
[staff shouting in panic]
Hurry up!
[Sarah] Ustadzah, why does it feel like
we have so much hardship?
It seems endless.
What does it take for us
to be able to accept that?
Masya Allah, Tabarakallah.
Our life
will never be free from hardships.
Some people have trouble with money,
some others with kids,
some others with spouses.
Everyone faces different things.
But we need to keep in mind
that every hardship we face
will not exceed our limit.
"Allah does not burden anyone
beyond their capacity."
Let's wrap it up with hamdalah.
[in unison] Alhamdulillahirabbil alamin.
Assalamualaikum
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
[in unison] Waalaikumssalam
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
[softly] Relax, take it easy.
Leave it to me.
Assalamualaikum.
Assalamualaikum, ladies.
Hold on, give me a minute.
Please, wait.
I'm telling you that today,
Sarah brought her
beautiful hijab and pashmina.
Have a look. Show them, Sarah.
- [Sarah] Feel free to have a look.
- [Nur] Have a look.
[buyer] So pretty.
[Sarah] And also,
I made an Instagram account.
Please follow Sarinara.
[Selly] Hello?
You're here? Hold up.
Once you buy it, share it to the group.
Sarah, can you come with me?
I'd like you to meet someone.
He's my tailor.
I happen to have
a fitting appointment with him today.
- Okay.
- Nur, can you watch this?
All right.
There he is.
Hey.
So, meet Dimas.
Dimas, this is Sarah.
Dimas.
Sarah.
So I've seen your stuff on Instagram,
and I asked Selly to introduce us.
I was wondering if we could collaborate.
Oh, right.
Here's my business card.
For our next meeting,
we can keep in touch.
DON'T FORGET TO WIRE LAILA'S TUITION.
[door closes]
Where were you?
[Laila] Group project, Mom.
Why is your hair so messy?
When you'll be late home, tell me.
You're a girl. You still have a parent.
[quietly] Yes, Mom.
Now take a shower. It'll be Maghrib soon.
Let's pray together.
Mom.
[hesitates]
Can I ask for some money?
For an extracurricular.
How much?
Five hundred thousand.
If we don't pay it,
they'll kick me out of the club.
Okay, give me the school's account.
Just give it to me.
They don't do transfers. Cash only.
If you don't want to, it's fine.
I'll just get kicked out.
[pondering]
Let's wait till we get the transfer from
your dad. We're tight for this month.
[Laila clicks tongue]
THIS PROPERTY IS CONFISCATED
THIS HOUSE IS CONFISCATED
[security] Good afternoon, ma'am.
Can I help you?
[confused] Has this house been seized?
Yes, ma'am. Last month.
The owner has moved away.
- Where to?
- I'm not sure.
Maybe you can contact Ms. Annisa.
- Do you have her number?
- No.
- I do. Need to write it down?
- Yes.
[Annisa] Hello, Sarah. I'm Annisa.
[Sarah] Cut it out.
Where's your husband?
He's working.
Actually, I'm here for
I went to his office.
But it's closed.
Stop lying to my face.
He's home.
Why isn't he here?
Is he avoiding his responsibilities
toward his child?
[stammers] That's not it.
Actually, I didn't tell him
that I came here to see you.
I
I'd like to apologize
for making you suffer.
You think that by apologizing,
my life will be fine?
Enough. I want to meet your husband.
I'd like to talk to him.
I'm sorry. I have some
errands to do. Excuse me.
[intense music playing]
[indistinct street chatter]
[softly] Sorry. Excuse me.
[Annisa] Assalamualaikum, honey.
I was only out for a moment.
[Satrio] Are you leaving me?
[Annisa] Don't say that.
[Satrio, slurring] You're leaving me?
- [Annisa] I'm not leaving you.
- [Satrio] No.
You're leaving me, aren't you?
Stop saying that. I'm not leaving you.
Satrio?
Honey.
I don't know why Sarah's here.
[angrily] Get her out of here.
Yes, honey. Calm down.
[slurring] Now!
- Honey, please calm down.
- Now!
Calm down, don't panic.
Please, stop crying.
Honey.
- Hold on.
- I don't want to see her.
[Annisa sighs deeply]
[door locks]
Stroke?
He had a stroke
when his company went bankrupt.
We had to sell
the assets for meds and therapy.
His savings?
All gone.
I can't even go to work
because I need to take care of him.
[loud knocking]
[debt collector]
Good afternoon, Ms. Annisa!
[knocking loudly] We know you're in there!
- Honey
- Come on out!
- They're back.
- Pay your debts!
[Annisa] Honey
Have you taken an online loan?
No, we didn't.
My mother did with my ID.
- I didn't
- Force it open!
[banging on door]
Pay up or we're breaking in!
Ma'am, we're breaking in!
Hey, hey!
What's with all the noise?
You're being too loud!
[debt collector] Stay out of it, sir!
[neighbor] What did you say?
[neighbors yelling angrily]
[debt collector 1] Easy, sir.
[debt collector 2] Let's go.
We'll be back tomorrow!
[Annisa] Honey, we need to go.
Honey, what do we do?
[softly] Sarah.
I'm really sorry.
But
But can we sleep at your place
just for tonight?
[angry grunts]
[slurring] No!
Honey.
I'm tired, honey.
Those guys came every day.
I'm tired, honey!
But
But it's only temporary,
until you get a new place.
Thank you.
[pained groan]
I don't want to.
I don't want to!
Honey.
I don't want to.
- I don't want to.
- Honey.
It's not for you.
It's for Laila.
[Laila] Hello, babe.
You're here?
Okay.
Wait.
I'm heading out.
Wait until it's safe.
Mrs. Tuti.
Yes, ma'am?
Take them to the guest room.
Yes, ma'am.
This way, sir, Ms. Annisa.
[Satrio] Laila.
Mom.
Your dad is sick, Laila.
So?
Why is he here?
We need to help people in need,
especially your dad.
He left us, Mom!
Mom
Are you dumb?
Laila. Where are you going?
I just want to remind you.
This is just temporary.
Don't let the neighbors see you.
Yes.
Home.
Home!
- Home!
- Honey.
- Home.
- Where to? We have nothing.
I'm ashamed.
I'm ashamed.
You think I'm not ashamed?
I'm the one asking her a favor.
I'm begging your ex-wife for mercy!
That's even more shameful!
Please, just this once,
for your own good, and for us both,
this time, listen to me, honey.
Please?
[dramatic music playing]
Mom, I'm heading out.
Breakfast?
No need. Assalamualaikum.
[Sarah] Waalaikumsalam.
Have some breakfast.
Okay.
Your husband had a stroke.
So no salty food.
[softly] Okay.
[Dimas] The testimonies are all good.
Maybe I'll substitute some fabrics,
so it won't be too expensive,
and we get a good price.
I know you're good at selling, Dimas.
But I'm not after the quantity.
I know.
But everyone is selling the same thing.
It only differs in price,
around 5,000 rupiah.
Exactly.
This isn't just any product.
I'm selling a feeling.
So when people buy my product,
it's because they feel pretty,
not because of the discount.
I've been selling for decades,
but I never thought about it that way.
I could sell batches.
But what you have here
is different.
- Is it done?
- In a minute, ma'am.
Let me help you.
[light music playing]
Anything I can help you with?
Please chop some spring onions.
Okay.
[mumbling] So hard.
[knife chopping]
Annisa, stop!
I asked you to chop spring onions,
not lemongrass.
[gasps, stammers]
That's okay. Now get me some cabbage.
We'll stir-fry it. It's in the fridge.
Okay.
[gasps]
There's a lot of them.
Is it this one?
[stifled laugh]
- No.
- No? [Laughs awkwardly]
- [Annisa] Does it hurt?
- [Satrio chuckles].
Move your right leg,
I'll help with the left one.
Come on. You're good?
- Does it hurt?
- [chuckles]
[Satrio stammers] Alhamdulillah
hirabbil alamin.
Arrah
[Laila] By the way.
You're always out.
Aren't your parents mad at you?
[chuckles] My mom? She won't be mad.
She's busy with her new boyfriend.
He's ugly.
Don't you want your parents to reconcile?
[mockingly] Reconcile?
No way. They're enemies now.
Well, there's no way God
didn't listen to my prayers, right?
You prayed?
You still do that nowadays?
You're kidding me.
Stop hoping for them to reconcile!
Okay, ma'am, sir.
Welcome to
the Nusantara Modest Fashion Festival.
- Thank you, ma'am.
- Thank you.
Alhamdulillah.
But do we have enough seed money?
We do, but we might need to
cut off some budgets.
Relax, don't think about it.
Now we need to expedite
Sarinara's production.
[gasps] It's empty.
I'll get some more for you.
Thank you.
I'm sorry I can't give you much.
I'm just a guest here.
Assalamualaikum, Sarah!
Waalaikumsalam.
[panicked] How come
How come you're here unannounced?
What, do I have to call first?
I'm just here to check on you.
You haven't been going to the lecture,
and the ladies were wondering,
"Where's Sarah?"
So busy with your entrepreneur stuff?
Sarah, I have to go.
[gasps] Oh, you're here.
Dimas just dropped off some fabrics.
Some fabrics, huh? But
Remember, don't hang out together
too much.
Something bad could happen.
No, I'm about to head home.
I just went to the toilet.
Let me know if there's anything you need.
Assalamualaikum.
[in unison] Waalaikumsalam.
So, you have someone new, huh?
It's not like that.
If I were you,
even if there was nothing,
I'd pretend there was.
So, I'm just passing on a message.
They want a uniform made.
Can you make it?
- A uniform?
- Yes.
[hesitates]
I'll do it. Insya Allah.
Will you? I'll let them know,
and I'll get back to you.
- Okay?
- Okay.
But remember, if anything happens,
don't forget to let me know.
Assalamualaikum, Sarah.
Waalaikumsalam.
I'm sorry.
You're breaking my rules.
I told you not to go out!
What if my friend had seen you?
I know.
I'm sorry.
[rain pattering]
[Satrio] Laila.
[thunder rumbling]
Laila?
[indistinct] I miss Laila.
Honey.
Don't be sad.
I'm sure
Laila misses you too.
- Laila?
- Yes, Mom.
Hold on.
What is it?
This is for your extracurricular.
Please ask the teacher
if we can pay in installments.
This is all I have for now.
When I sell all the hijabs,
I'll pay for the rest.
Yes, Mom.
Study hard, okay.
[laughs] Baby, pick me up tonight.
[EDM music blasting]
Money, money.
- Hurry up!
- You're asking for money?
Not bad.
[mumbling] So stingy.
Here.
What the hell? Just this?
Chill, you have me.
[Leo clears throat]
- Take this.
- [Kiki gasps]
Let's party again!
[cheer in unison]
[Laila] Thank you, I love you!
[whispers] Laila.
Are you okay?
Are you drunk?
Shut up!
[sighs] Laila.
Laila.
Laila!
- [retching]
- Come on. Over here!
Hold it!
[vomiting]
Come on, over here.
[door thumps closed]
[Annisa] Here. Let me help. Let it out.
[coughing]
Poor you.
Don't touch me.
[coughing continues]
Keep it down, your mom will hear.
[knocking on door]
Drop the act.
[Sarah] Annisa?
[whispers] Hurry, over here.
[knocking continues]
[hushes softly]
[water trickles]
[whispers] Keep quiet.
[Sarah] Annisa?
- [retching]
- What happened?
I don't feel well.
Get some rest.
[softly] Okay.
[relieved sigh]
[soft music playing]
Still feeling nauseous?
No.
Next time, drink a lot of water.
It's better if you
don't drink at all, but
But, I understand.
Take care of yourself.
[cell phone ringing]
- Assalamualaikum
- [Annisa's mom] Where are you?
The debt collectors are after me!
You ungrateful brat!
Your husband said he'd give
me money? Where is it?
Unfilial child, do you hear me?
[sobbing] I love you, Mom.
I love you so much.
But I just can't live that way anymore.
I can't! [Cries]
[choked up] I'll pray
that you stay healthy.
Why didn't your husband help you?
That's not it.
I
I troubled him too much.
So I don't want to burden him anymore.
I never dreamed of being a second wife.
But
That night,
his sincerity was my salvation.
[Annisa chuckles]
Thank you for taking me home.
My pleasure.
I'm heading in, then.
- Good night.
- Night.
[Annisa's mom] You promiscuous girl!
You're home late with no money!
[Annisa] Mom! Ouch!
[Annisa crying]
[Annisa] Mom, enough! Stop, Mom!
Mom, stop it! I
[whimpers]
Annisa? Open the door!
- Annisa!
- Mr. Satrio!
Annisa, open the door.
[crying]
Sir!
Come here! How dare you?!
Sir, help me.
So you're taking her home?
If you're serious,
take her away!
Just buy her off!
I don't want to take care of her!
Don't listen to her, sir.
Ma'am.
I'll give her a place to stay.
So you won't need
to take care of her anymore.
Don't you dare!
She's my child!
Pay me back for what I spent on her!
I'll marry her.
[Annisa sniffles]
Annisa.
- [sobbing]
- Come on.
Please forgive my mom, sir.
Thank you for lying for my sake.
I wasn't lying.
No, sir.
I'm a nobody.
I don't deserve you.
[Sarah] So, is that what keeps you going?
Yes.
For me, he's not just a husband.
He's my home.
[Annisa sobbing]
Even though I realized
that he didn't belong to me.
Um
Tomorrow, please give me a hand.
I have a lot of orders.
Yes.
[light music playing]
Dad.
[hesitates]
Don't you
want to see me swim?
I can dive now.
Dad.
I'd love to see that.
I want to see you swim.
[gentle laughter]
See? I can do it.
That means I can go diving? [Laughs]
[softly] You can.
But,
promise me.
Maintain
Your grades
at school.
Graduate from college.
Promise. [Laughs]
I told you, Sarah is busy
with her business.
You've never owned a business, have you?
Haven't you guys dated before?
You know, a woman who's dating
will vanish from her friends.
So what if she's dating?
Nur, don't get me wrong.
We're talking about a man and a woman.
Being alone in the house.
There could be adultery!
For God's sake, istighfar!
That's not it!
As the neighborhood chief,
I'm being responsible here.
If you don't believe me, let's prove it.
- Shut up.
- [Selly] Wati.
[doorbell ringing]
Assalamualaikum!
Sarah!
It's Wati.
I'm here to collect the lecture fee.
What fee? Let's just go back.
[grunts]
Assalamu Excuse me.
- Ma'am
- Assalamualaikum!
[Wati] Sarah!
I'm sorry, ma'am.
They forced their way in.
Wati, Nur, Selly, you're here.
How come Satrio is here with
[Nur hesitates]
His mistress.
[Nur] She's not. His new wife.
Haven't seen him in a while.
Yes.
He's here for Laila.
But you guys are divorced, right?
Of course.
So where is Laila?
Laila
[stammers] She has tutoring.
So, here's the thing, Sarah.
We're here to collect the lecture fee.
I'll pay you tomorrow.
Okay, tomorrow then.
You're coming to the lecture, right?
We haven't gathered in a while.
Yes.
We'll take our leave, then.
Satrio and the mistress
I mean, his second wife. We're off.
- [Nur] Assalamualaikum.
- Assalamualaikum.
[Sarah] Waalaikumsalam.
- Sarah, can I use the bathroom?
- Okay.
Wait for me at the porch.
[Sarah] Okay then.
Slowly.
[Sarah] Wati. Ustadzah.
I am no saint.
But I'm not committing adultery.
I'm just helping people in need.
If there's anything wrong
with my intention,
let Allah be the judge,
not people.
Sarah, now you live among people!
People judge!
Besides, I have proof. Here's the picture!
Istighfar, Wati.
Being emotional is useless.
I'm sure Sarah has her own reason.
Enough, ladies.
It's better for us to clear the air.
It's not good to accuse
without clear proof.
You trust me, right, Nur?
You don't even trust me.
You never told me about this.
I didn't tell you to avoid
this kind of situation.
Being judged.
[sighs] I had to.
He's sick.
I had to help him.
Sarah.
It's fine to be kind.
But this doesn't make any sense.
In the end, there'll be consequences
for your "kindness."
Just admit it.
You still love him, right?
Laila?
- [gasps]
- What's wrong?
[chuckles] Nothing.
What are you hiding? Show me.
[jokingly] Let me see that.
Laila.
Come here.
You
Why do you bring home alcohol?
This is for.
Leo's birthday present.
Your boyfriend?
- [chuckles]
- Laila. How could you?
If your mom finds out, she'll be mad.
Don't tell anyone, please.
So
Where should I keep it?
[clicks tongue]
Here. Let me keep it.
- Would you?
- Okay.
[laughs] Thank you.
But
in return, please
teach me how to wear hijab.
[laughs]
Why do you laugh?
Okay, I'll teach you.
Please don't cancel the order, ma'am.
I have 300 pieces ready for your event.
[customer] Sorry, Ms. Sarah.
I found another vendor that's cheaper.
Maybe next time.
I see. Thank you very much, ma'am.
Assalamualaikum.
What do we do, Dimas?
We have many cancelled orders.
Sarinara's Instagram
is filled with hate comments.
Calm down.
Let's solve it one step at a time.
I'm sorry for taking you out
at a time like this.
But don't stress over it.
We still have
the Nusantara Modest Fashion Festival.
I should apologize.
My personal issues
affected our business.
I'm glad to be bothered by you.
To me, you're more than just
a business partner.
[clears throat]
Aside from
celebrating our success
in getting into the fashion show,
I'd like to give you this.
Insya Allah,
I'm ready to provide for you and Laila.
I promise that Laila will have
access to higher education.
[muffled chatter]
[laughing]
[Annisa] It should match.
What about this way?
- Maybe it's the upper part!
- [Laila] It's not done yet.
[Annisa] It's slanted, fix it.
[Laila laughs]
- [Laila] Use the pushpin.
- Right.
- Do you have one?
- [Laila] I don't.
[Annisa] You don't? Gosh.
[laughing]
[laughter stops abruptly]
Don't come upstairs.
Your room is downstairs.
Okay.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
[keyboard clacking]
What do I do?
[Satrio clears throat]
Is Dimas a good business partner?
When will you make some profit?
You should've
paid more attention to cash flow
rather than revenue.
No need to lecture me.
Your company went bankrupt.
You got scammed.
[whispers] Yes, I got scammed
by Vijay.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
[Laila] Hello, Ms. Annisa?
Can you wait for me
at the park near our home?
I'd like to take Leo's bottle
and head to his party.
Can you? Please.
Laila.
You'll get scolded again
for coming home late.
Is Dimas being honest with you?
Don't tell me
that he's just after you.
You're not my husband anymore!
I have a right to choose for my future.
Laila, looks like it's not a good time.
Your parents are fighting. Later, okay?
Nothing new. They fight all the time.
I promise,
I won't be home later than 9:00 p.m. Okay?
Okay, but
[quietly] Promise not to drink.
Yes, I promise not to drink.
Dimas proposed.
I said yes.
Sarah.
You're sure he's being sincere?
He might take advantage of you!
What do you know about Dimas?
He's more sincere than you.
You didn't even choose your family!
Enough. You don't have a say
about me and Dimas.
[gasps]
[Sarah] What's that?
[stammers]
What are you hiding?
[intense music playing]
Astaghfirullahaladzim. Alcohol!
[glass shatters]
Do you drink at my house?
I don't
Get out of here! Get out!
Sarah!
Let her explain.
Your wife is hiding alcohol!
How dare you bring that
wretched thing here?
What if Laila saw and tried it?
Will you be responsible?
I helped you, and this is what I get?
You think I'm stupid?
So you treat me like this, huh?
- Get out of here, now!
- Enough!
If you kick her out,
you're kicking me out too.
You're all better now, right?
What more do you want here?
[whispers] Annisa.
Honey, I'm sorry. I
We're going home.
[quietly] Honey, I'm so sorry.
[Annisa] That wasn't mine.
[Laila] Okay.
[Laila] Thank you.
Where are you going, Dad?
- Where are you going?
- Laila.
Please visit me often.
Dad, what's wrong this time?
Ms. Annisa.
What's wrong?
Please visit here often.
Laila.
Get in.
Take care.
Laila!
Get in!
From now on, stick with me
wherever you go.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS WEEKEND
[dial tone]
BABE, I'M SORRY I CAN'T GO
TO YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY.
MY MOM SNAPPED AGAIN.
HI, LAILA, HOW ARE YOU? COME HANG OUAT MY HOUSE SOMETIME, OKAY?
I don't like it
that you're too close with Annisa.
You don't know her.
Why did you even kick them out?
You want to know?
She was hiding alcohol in this house.
I kicked her out.
Enough.
I'm not talking about her again.
Finish your food.
Mom. Please.
Bring them back to this house.
What do you mean?
Stop talking nonsense.
No, Mom.
That bottle was mine.
It was for my boyf
For my friend's birthday.
Stop taking her side.
The neighbors turned against me
because of her!
But you brought them in!
I know.
Now I realize that was wrong.
Mom, please. I'm begging you.
Listen to me just this once.
Dad is sick.
What if something happens to him?
Laila!
How could you worry about your dad?
When will you worry about me?
I've worked hard.
I've provided for you since he left.
I did everything, just for you!
Yes!
Of course, Mom!
[crying] It's all about you!
Everyone must understand you!
Everyone must listen to you!
You only think about yourself.
Since you're divorced, have you
ever asked how I was doing?
[sobbing]
Have you ever cared about me?
You just kept scolding me.
Whatever I did, I was always at fault!
Ms. Annisa was the only one
who cared about me.
Not my own mom.
You have no idea
what it feels like to be me.
This is my home.
So follow my rules.
[chair screeching]
[sobbing softly] Dear God.
Astaghfirullah.
[sobbing] Astaghfirullahaladzim.
Astaghfirullahaladzim.
[debt collector] Annisa.
I know you're home.
Get out, pay up.
Annisa, come on. Pay
Don't keep running away.
- Pay up.
- It wasn't my debt.
I don't care, it was your number!
I got scammed.
If you want to collect the money, wait.
This is her number and address.
You're lying!
Whatever, believe it or not.
Now go! If you keep bothering me,
I'll go to the police.
Okay.
But if we can't find her,
we're coming for you!
Just you wait!
[relieved sigh]
Honey.
Why are you smiling?
[knocking on door]
I told you
Laila?
Hey.
- Assalamualaikum, Dad.
- Waalaikumsalam.
Your mom knows you're here?
Mom
Can I stay here?
[softly] Yes, you can.
Can I?
Of course.
Thank you.
I feel like I've done everything.
But I failed.
Why is life so unfair?
I'm tired, Dimas.
Share your burdens with me.
I'm ready for anything with you.
I'm ready to marry you.
Sarah.
I
I can't.
May I know why?
I can't.
Don't tell me you're getting back
together with Satrio.
I don't get what's in your head.
He betrayed you. He left your child.
And yet you still love him?
I'm sorry, Dimas.
I can't.
Sarah.
Sarah.
Assalamualaikum, Kiki.
Do you know where Laila is?
Why isn't she home yet?
[gasps]
She didn't go to school?
Kiki.
Can you help me?
Please find Laila.
Please, Kiki.
Yes. Assalamualaikum.
Dear God.
Pick up the phone, Laila!

What do we name her?
Let's name her Laila.
Laila.
[Sarah exclaims happily]
Laila's so smart. Turn around.
Hi, Laila.
Here, catch this.
[exclaims happily]
- [Satrio] Throw it to Mom.
- Come on, Laila. Throw it!

I'm here to take.
Laila's clothes and books.
Thank you.
She's doing well.
She's diligent.
She can't stand being messy, just like
her mother.
I'm not a good mother.
Please, take care of her.
No.
You're a great woman.
The best mother for Laila.
You are
my inspiration.
[dramatic music playing]
[doorbell ringing]
- Hold on.
- Okay.
Assalamualaikum, ma'am.
Waalaikumsalam.
Is this Mr. Muhammad Satrio Arafa's house?
How can I help you?
We're from Makmur Sentosa Bank.
We're here to give you this letter.
[intense music playing]
Laila, please give this to Kiki.
Tell her, get well soon.
Thank you.
[annoyed sigh]
Hello?
Baby.
Are you picking me up?
I've been waiting.
[Leo] Sorry. Can you go home alone today?
I'm [clears throat] Not feeling well.
Okay then. Get well soon, baby.
Yes, baby. Thank you.
Okay. I love
[call disconnects]
[Laila gasps]
You guys are crazy!
Laila!
Laila, wait!
Laila, please! Let me explain!
[Leo] Laila!
[sobbing]
[Sarah] How could you?
What is this?
Please, explain to me!
I was wrong.
I mortgaged that house
for wedding expenses and
to buy a home for Annisa.
Honey.
I thought.
I could cover the installments, but
I was wrong.
So I've been living in the house
that you pawned,
and you didn't tell me?
I was a coward!
I didn't dare to tell you. I was scared.
[heavy sigh]
I thought everything was fine!
Look, I don't want to bring up the past.
We'd better think forward
and find the solution.
The house was meant for Laila, right?
No matter what we do and whatever will be,
everything is for Laila.
Assalamualaikum.
[in unison] Waalaikumsalam.
[Laila sobbing]
Mom.
[whimpering] Mom.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Forgive me.
I'm sorry.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Dear God.
- [Laila sobbing]
- There, there.
Forgive me.
[Nur] Really, Sarah.
I don't get it.
It's like your hardship never ends.
My body is heavy,
but your life is heavier.
I'm not giving up.
[Selly] Assalamualaikum.
[in unison] Waalaikumsalam.
[Sarah] Selly.
Thank you for coming.
You know what?
You amazed me.
You remain as kind as ever
in a world full of bitter
and cynical people.
That means, you agree
to help us with the new business.
We need a tailor, right?
[Selly laughs] Insya Allah.
Not just as a tailor,
I can be your investor.
[Nur gasps] Alhamdulillah!
[Sarah] Alhamdulillah!
Selly, thank you so much.
Look, I told you.
Selly has a lot of friends,
from stitchers to snitchers.
- Thank you very much!
- Thank you, Selly.
But we need to make a new brand
to make it to
the Nusantara Modest Fashion Festival.
[grunts] Dimas took over Sarinara.
[tuts] Darn it.
It's fine.
We'll make our own design.
Design?
[Sarah] Thank you!
[Nur] Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
[Sarah] Bismillah.
[soft music playing]
[Nur] Remember, if you need anything,
just tell me, okay?
[Sarah] What do you think?
[Laila] It's pretty, Mom.
How about this one?
I like the pattern and
Honey.
This one.
It looks like
I'll bring Laila her food.
Right.
Here, have some food.
This is my favorite, sambal matah chicken?
Thank you, Mom.
Can I talk to you?
[groans softly]
I've been thinking.
It's all because Allah made me
Pay for my sins.
Allah broke us apart because.
I was greedy.
And Laila became the victim.
I don't deserve forgiveness.
[sobs] But, I'm trying.
I'm trying to make up for
My sins toward you both.
Until my last breath.
I'm sorry.
[faintly] I'm sorry.

Hey!
Why are you so tense? We're best friends!
Come here. You missed me, right?

that along with hardship,
indeed, there is ease.
