Jaja, what are you doing
in the boy's dorm?
Hey.
Is that a gift for Aizat?
Is the gift in the box
or the one holding the box?
Where is Aizat?
Jaja!
Hey, what are you doing in the boy's dorm?
-What's up, Ja?
-Where is Aizat?
-Aizat?
-Yes.
He's not here. He went back home.
Jaja?
Need a hand?
Just help me.
Where is she?
-Hey, Botol.
-Yes?
Have you seen Jaja?
She was in our dorm just now.
What's she doing in the boy's dorm?
She was looking for Aizat,
but he went back home.
So
Wait, Aizat went home?
I thought he didn't go home much.
Yes, but he will go home
for his birthday every year.
He must be afraid to get floured.
He cares too much about his hair.
When is his birthday?
His birthday is this Sunday.
Hey, Aaidaa.
I thought you were looking for Jaja.
Yes, Jaja.
Did she say anything else?
She asked what time
Aizat's bus would leave.
Oh no.
Okay then.
Jat.
He'll be in trouble.
ANSWER SHEE
This.
Do you know who did this?
I don't know, sir,
but I will try to find out.
Mi.
Your mom is waiting, right?
Come on. These are really heavy.
Let's go.
FREESIA TERMINAL
Labis!
Hurry up, we don't have time!
Here.
Okay.
Aizat!
Right foot first!
-Aizat. Excuse me, sir.
-What? Where's your ticket?
-Aizat!
-Hey!
Make it quick!
Aizat.
Aizat!
Hey, Ja!
Here. Take everything.
What are these?
These are all your stuff
that I picked up all this while.
From now on,
take good care of my sister.
If you mess with her, you're dead.
Got it?
Labis! Hurry up, we're running late!
-Okay, climb in.
-Jaja?
This is correct. Get in, miss.
Quick, we're late.
Don't fall.
Labis. Sir, I'm looking for my sister.
Just a second.
-Who on earth is your sister?
-Jaja.
I don't have time for this. Mat, let's go!
-We're already late.
-Ja.
Jaja!
Hey, Jat. Have you seen Jaja?
How should I know?
Jaja.
Jaja!
-Aaidaa.
-Wait! What are you doing there?
-Sir, wait a second!
-I have many more trips to make.
-Mat, just go.
-Ja, wait!
-Aaidaa?
-Sir, wait up!
Aaidaa!
Peace be upon you, Din.
Peace be upon you too.
Awang, can I talk to you?
Sure. What's wrong?
We can't talk about it on the phone.
I'll see you tonight at your office, okay?
Okay.
Okay.
Hey! Where are we, Jat?
Come on.
Tapah.
Tapah?
Why didn't you ask the driver to stop?
-I did, but he won't listen.
-What? Why didn't you try again?
You
I don't understand.
Are you sisters trying to humiliate me,
to trouble me today?
Hey, Jaja!
Aaidaa?
Jaja!
Aaidaa, are you okay?
I'm okay. What about you?
Wait. Are you not mad at me anymore?
Daa, I'm sorry. I
I don't know what has gotten into me.
No, I'm the one who should be sorry.
So it's settled then?
Both of us are stupid,
both of us are sorry.
Okay, it's settled.
But why did you look
for Aizat at the bus station?
No, I was just returning his stuff.
I feel like I don't want
to face that anymore.
You? What were you doing there?
I was looking for you. You were mad at me.
I was worried.
So you really love me, don't you?
Of course I love you.
Listen, you go home first.
At the next stop,
I'll buy a ticket back home, okay?
-Okay. Okay, bye.
-Bye, Ja.
Thank you everyone.
You know this is an express bus, right?
This bus doesn't have stops.
You only get bathroom breaks.
So where is this bus going?
Labis.
Your house?
Labis is
my mom's place.
How much longer?
It's around four hours.
Four hours?
Oh no.
RAWANG REST STOP
MOM CALLING
Hey.
Move away.
Sorry.
MOM CALLING
LABIS BUS STATION
There's just one last bus
at twelve o'clock.
MOM CALLING
That's six hours away.
Six hours?
That's okay.
I'll stay here with you.
Is your mom's place far from here?
It's not that far.
Well, it's really far.
You have to go through a paddy field
and cars can't get through.
It's really tough.
Well, if your mom's place is nearby,
I would like to
Muhammad Aizat bin Abdullah!
STIA LEADING IN SBP TRIAL EXAMS
Din, coffee.
I'll be honest with you.
I can't believe it.
What can't you believe?
I can't believe you could threaten
the kids to change this quickly.
What's your secret?
I don't have any secrets.
It's just
due to STIA's tradition of excellence.
You can keep your secret.
But if you can continue this until SPM
The Deputy Director General
of Education is retiring.
Why?
Nothing.
Botol is drinking from a bottle.
Come on.
How did you get the nickname "Botol"?
When I was in Form 1,
everyone said my body was weird.
My head
is a lot smaller than my body.
Just like a bottle.
That is mean.
Aren't you mad they called you that?
Why would I be mad?
It's who I am.
I'm late, I have to go.
Are you not going home?
No.
Why? Everyone goes home.
If everyone is going home,
do I have to go back too?
You didn't answer my calls.
You didn't reply to my texts.
I was worried,
so I went to the station
to make sure you're all right.
It reminded me
of what happened seven years ago.
Yes, Mom. I'm sorry.
Also, why did you bring home a girl?
Will you be responsible
if anything happens?
-Aizat, are you listening to me?
-Yes, Mom. I'm listening, sorry.
Auntie, you and your son
Just call me "Mom."
Let's go inside.
Botol, can I ask you a question?
Sure, I like questions.
How did you become like this?
Like how?
Like this.
Honestly, you're special.
You're not like the other kids.
You look like you're so calm.
It's like you have no troubles.
Who could have no troubles in this world?
Then how can you be so calm all the time?
I don't know.
I don't think I'm special.
Maybe that's why.
Wait.
So you feel calm because you don't
think that you're special, right?
Okay, here goes.
I'm not that smart,
but I always score Physics.
Because I like Physics.
-What does Physics have to do with it?
-Okay, it's like this.
I don't just study SPM Physics.
I study everything.
How the planets orbit around the sun,
how we have billions of galaxies.
And when I study these things,
I feel like I'm small.
Smaller than a speck of dust.
What's so special about that?
When I realize
that I'm just an insignificant speck,
all of my problems
become just a speck of dust.
I don't mean
that I have no troubles, no burdens.
But when I realize
that my troubles are small,
it's a waste of time to dwell upon them.
I'd rather be quiet and face it.
Do you understand?
I do,
but don't you think
there's even one person in this
world who thinks that you matter?
No.
Don't you think that you'll find
someone special compared to others?
Why?
Don't you feel lonely living like that?
Lonely?
I don't know, Botol.
My mind is reeling right now.
I don't know what I'm saying.
Come on, let's go.
Lonely?
Peace be upon you.
Peace be upon you too.
-Aizat!
-Aizat!
-Aizat!
-Who missed me? Come here!
Oh gosh.
You've all gotten so big.
I haven't been back for a while.
Quick, come here!
-Do you miss me?
-Yes.
How come you got darker?
I'm sorry.
-Miss, are you Aizat's girlfriend?
-Nadi!
No, I'm not.
Aizat is not that great.
Aizat is a good person.
He's handsome.
He'd be perfect for you
because you're pretty.
What a sweet talker.
What's your name again?
Nadirah binti Abdullah.
"Binti Abdullah"?
Jat, is she your sister
Who wants to go inside?
I'll feed you guys dinner!
-Who wants dinner? Raise your hand!
-Me!
LIST OF BABY HATCH CHILDREN
All of the children came from there.
Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
Why do you have to be sorry?
Aizat chose to keep it a secret.
I don't think anyone at school knows this.
Look at Aizat now.
I can't believe he used to fit into that.
Back then, we'd just opened.
There were only
Aizat and Yati.
Yati?
AAIDAA: JAJA, THERE'S A SLIGHT PROBLEM.
I'LL BE HERE FOR A WHILE.
WILL YOU BE OKAY ALL BY YOURSELF?
JAJA: I'M OKAY, SERIOUSLY.
I'VE NEVER FELT THIS OKAY BEFORE.
Lonely?
Those are photos of Yati.
This room used to be hers.
Aizat is a smart boy.
But ever since he was young,
he always got into trouble.
He won't let people mock
where he came from.
Hi, illegitimate child.
Aizat, this is not the way
for us to show them.
We have to show them through our efforts.
Our efforts for a brighter future
compared to them.
Aizat.
Let's become role models
for the younger kids, okay?
Let's go.
They were very close.
I never felt that way
even with my own siblings.
Aizat used to accompany Yati
studying at night.
He didn't even return to his room.
Yati was hardworking.
She studied all night without sleep.
Her PMR results were excellent
and she was offered
to enter an elite
boarding school in Kuala Lumpur.
But she couldn't bear to go
and leave Aizat.
Every year on Aizat's birthday,
Yati will make Batik cake for him.
Freshen up before you go.
You must be uncomfortable from a long day.
I'll ask Aizat to send you to the station.
Thank you, Mom.
Mom.
What happened to the late Yati?
SPM.
On the morning
of Aizat's birthday that year,
Yati had state trial exams.
She didn't sleep at all the night before.
Yati.
Aizat.
You're leaving for school so early.
Aizat, we have to become
role models for the younger kids.
You have to do well in your UPSR exam.
I have to do well in SPM.
This is the day for us to show everyone
that it doesn't matter
where we come from, Aizat.
What's important is our next direction.
UPSR, SPM.
These will determine where we're going.
Remember that, Aizat.
I have to go.
Bye.
That was the last time
Aizat talked to Yati.
Yati fell asleep
while cycling on the roadside.
She swerved onto the main road.
The oncoming car couldn't brake in time.
Mom.
Have a seat.
I'm leaving now.
Thank you very much
for letting me stay here for a while.
Are you sure you don't want
to stay here until Sunday?
I don't think Aizat will like it
if I stay here longer, Mom.
If that's the case,
ask Aizat to send you there.
Tell him it was my idea.
I don't think he wants
to talk to me right now.
Well, he has been avoiding
this subject for a long time.
I think even he doesn't realize
that he has been waiting
for the right person to arrive
to relieve the burden
that he has been carrying.
It's 11:30 p.m. now.
I know how to get to the station.
Okay, I'll see you at school then.
Jat.
You do know that I don't mind this, right?
I don't mind this at all.
And I don't think your friends
and our batchmates would mind.
We know who you are, Jat.
You're not just
the person you showed to us.
The annoying school rugby captain
who thinks he owns the school.
But we know you as a good person,
who loves his friends.
A person who seems brave,
but in reality, is scared.
Just like all of us.
Mom told me many things about you,
about the late Yati.
I just want you to know
that you don't have to carry
the weight of the world on your own.
We're here for you.
I'm here for you.
I'll go now, okay?
Call me if you need anything.
Aaidaa.
Will you stay here?
AAIDAA: SORRY, JAJA. LOOKS LIKE
I'LL BE STAYING HERE UNTIL TOMORROW.
JAJA: IT'S OKAY.
ARE YOU STAYING WITH AIZAT?
AAIDAA: IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HERE!
JAJA: OKAY
DON'T DO ANYTHING NAUGHTY WITH AIZAT!
Lonely?
Botol.
Are you not busking today?
Do you visit her on this day every year?
I'd rather be here, Aaidaa.
I'd be floured if I was at school.
I'll go ahead.
Do you know? All this while
I thought if I could do everything
that Yati didn't get to do,
I could make her proud.
But when I entered STIA,
when I realized nobody knew my past,
nobody knew where I came from,
I loved it.
I loved it when nobody knew.
For the first time in my life,
I could do everything that I wanted.
I could be anything
I wanted to be at school.
I love that people like being my friend.
Some of them adore me,
some even worship me.
I loved it.
I loved it so much
that I forgot my promises to Yati.
One thing, Aaidaa.
I think only SPM can redeem
every damned thing that life threw at me.
That's my only hope, Aaidaa.
I want to become a good role model
for the younger kids at that home.
That's all.
Yati.
I'm going home.
Peace be upon you.
Let's go.
Jat.
All of the secrets, responsibility,
and guilt you felt for the younger kids
are not fair to you.
But everyone has problems, right?
Of course.
But I'm telling you,
you don't have
to carry all that weight alone.
Wait, I don't get it.
I'm showing you that you can
share some of them with me.
Share some of what?
Burden.
All of that burden,
you can share them with me.
Okay, but what's with the shoulder thing?
No, if the burden is like a bag,
I'm taking some of it to share.
Got it? You don't have to carry it.
Gosh, whatever.
Hey, Aaidaa.
I don't understand what you did.
Aaidaa?
I know that your days are gray
In the play of your thoughts
Everything is confusing
Nothing is perfect
But you are different
It is clear in my eyes
You are something
Don't you always be anxious
You should know
You are a star
Twinkling in the sky
Even from afar, you look beautiful to me
In the dark night
When I feel gloomy
You are always there to give me light
Believe in me
I will always
Definitely be with you
Believe in me
I will take care
Because you are a star
You are a star
Twinkling in the sky
Even from afar, you look beautiful to me
In the dark night
When I feel gloomy
You are always there to give me light
You are the star
You are the star
You are the star
Aaidaa.
Are you mad at me?
Why would I be mad?
Well, you lectured me
about bags and stuff.
And then you disappeared
for the rest of the day.
Were you looking for me?
I didn't look for you.
But I was worried.
Worried? About me?
No, I
It's nothing.
The bus will leave at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
I know.
NUR ABDULLAH'S HOME
Jat.
Jat, wake up.
Jat.
Let's go.
Let's go!
ANSWER SHEET, CONFIDENTIAL
ANSWER SHEET, CONFIDENTIAL
Jaja!
I feel empty.
Would you like to go
to the dinner night with me?
-Mi.
-What do you want?
It's hard to believe that you and me
Hilmi, I signed
your Head Prefect certificate.
Don't try to mess with me.
My band and I decided
that for the dinner night,
you have to sing with me.
It's time for them to see what I've seen.
Go.
What's wrong with you?
-I'm sorry.
-You didn't see me?
