01x04 - Loan Shark

[bunniefuu]

Why is he here?

How can I go home like this?

Do I have to sleep here?

Is he not going to leave?

-Excuse me, Miss.

-Tika!

Could you do me a favor?

I want to enter my house

but that guy is there.

Could you tease him,

touch him or something?

You're just adding to my work.

I don't need money anyway.

Miss, don't be like that.

Please, please help me.

Here, this tumbler is nice.

It's expensive.

I don't want it. What about this bag?

Not this. It was very hard

to find this bag.

Is your debt really that much,

that you have someone

coming for you like that?

So, help me please.

Wait a minute.

Take this wallet.

This wallet is a limited edition.

It's still in very good condition.

-Including the contents?

-There's nothing inside it.

There's only a bus card.

I need you to give it back, if you could.

If you need money fast, call me.

She offers loans?

Hey, handsome man!

-What are you doing?

-What's wrong with you?

What are you doing here?

You should go with me instead.

-Where do you want to go?

-Anywhere. Come on.

Come on.

Come, I'll accompany you.

Excuse me, are you Tika?

-Me?

-Yes!

You work here, right?

I really like your TikTok videos!

They're exciting,

and informative about thrifting

and how to mix-and-match.

Also, not boring!

I really like watching them.

Thank you.

You really work here, right?

Well, I would work as anything

as long as it's halal.

Besides, I don't work

in the collecting division.

Cha!

Here.

Tik, today at ten o'clock,

the collecting division

has a meeting with Ms. Cynthia.

Don't forget.

No matter what your job is,

you are still cool.

I will always be your fan.

Don't forget to do your homework again.

Yes, Dad.

Come on, Cha. You'll be late for school.

Don't worry, Dad.

I'm on my way already, so I won't be late.

Wait a minute, she's your daughter?

Why, do we not look alike?

Alright, come on. Don't forget.

-Let's go, Cha!

-Yes, let's go.

Oh right, if you're not busy this Sunday,

let's do a collaboration.

Here, I also have a TikTok.

So we can make content

about mix-and-matching

between your style and my style,

what do you think?

-Do you want to?

-Sure.

-Cha, come on!

-Wait a minute.

Really? Okay, bye!

Here, your helmet.

-Be careful, sir.

-Right, don't forget.

Hello, sweetheart. What are you doing?

Have you filled out the form

for the student exchange?

I told you I didn't need to.

I'm not going.

Cha, listen to me.

Oca, can you listen to me?

Oca!

Ca, friends and environment

is what decides how your future will be.

If you hang around successful people,

you may be successful too.

-But if you

-It's only for two weeks, right?

Can you be successful from just two weeks?

First,

I don't like you interjecting.

Second

why can't you understand, Cha?

I am confused.

How about this?

Have you ever asked me about what I want?

You haven't, have you?

I will study upstairs.

It seems you have to start

listening to what she wants.

She's a grown up now,

not a child anymore.

But how could you refuse

a student exchange to Italy?

That's exactly what she means.

That's what you want,

not her, isn't it?

Miss, be careful!

You want to go to

the internet cafe, don't you?

That's a new bag, isn't it?

You can be envious,

but don't forget

you've got school tomorrow.

Of course.

Oh, right. Mom sold your red bag

to that prost*tute.

Are you serious?

Umar! Hey, I haven't finished

Did you just get back?

Shut up. Mom will be mad at me.

Wow, my younger brother is very diligent.

He's woken up this early in the day.

Of course, I have school to attend.

Don't you know a mother's instinct

has never been wrong?

You slept in these clothes? Really?

I fell asleep at internet cafe.

I mean in my room, Mom.

So, your room is now at the internet cafe?

No, I didn't go to the internet cafe.

-Be smarter if you want to lie!

-Yes, Ma'am.

I'm sorry.

You're protecting your brother now?

-No, I don't know anything.

-I'm sorry, Ma'am!

Make a cup of tea for me, please.

There's you as well.

Only talking about tea.

What is your duty before sleeping?

Don't you need to check whether

the doors and windows are locked,

the lights are turned off,

and your children are in their rooms?

You don't know your son just came home

from the internet cafe, right?

It's better you two are not friendly.

There's nothing good

coming out of you being friendly.

Umar, you just came home

from the internet cafe?

Yes, Dad.

But, I swear, at the internet cafe

I was just playing games.

Not flirting with a prost*tute.

Ouch!

-I'm really mad at you!

-Mom!

That's why you really like

going to the internet cafe!

Hey, Tika.

Don't you want to buy

a donut for breakfast?

You used to like my donuts so much.

Alright, I want five to take away.

Yeah, okay.

Hey Tika, do you need money so bad

that you opened up donations?

What are you talking about?

Your mother told us in a chat group.

To pay for your debt.

Yes, I also got the message.

She said it's for your debt.

I have never opened up donations?

Hello?

Tik, are you really okay?

What's wrong with me?

It's about the money you need

to pay your debt.

I think I could transfer it tomorrow.

Is that okay?

Crap!

Tika!

I'm dead meat.

Come here.

-What is it, sir?

-Come in, I want to talk.

Tika!

Tika.

What is it, sir?

How do Gen Zers socialize?

Your generation and Gen Z

aren't too far off, are they?

At least you can

understand them better, right?

Right?

Not too far off, sir.

Right.

-Oca!

-Mom!

So far so good,

because you're the one who pick me up.

Is there something's wrong

if your father picks you up?

I have to force myself all the time

when I'm with him.

You still remember

who wanted me to study here?

But that's because this school is good.

Good for who, Mom? For me?

Every day I have to be friends

with fake people.

Anyway, you father only wanted

what's best for his only child.

Don't forget, Tik,

tomorrow evening, alright?

Tik, I once heard our law officials say

that you didn't need to

pay your online loans,

because a lot of

their activities are ill*gal.

Just like your case.

The problem is, if I don't pay,

their employees will suffer,

because they don't meet their target.

Why are you sympathizing

with their employees?

Well

Well, they're only employees.

They work for a company

and are just following orders.

And a debt must be paid.

You are right.

But how can I be free from all of this?

Free from all what?

All of my shopping habits

that causes my debt to pile up.

Okay.

Next time, when you want to buy something

you count from one to a hundred first.

That will give you time

to think about it more.

Do you really need that item or not?

-Count to a hundred?

-Yes.

Just try it.

Mom.

Hi.

It's unusual for you

to come home this early.

-Where is Oca?

-She's upstairs.

-There?

-Yes.

Wait a minute.

In this live,

I want to share tips and tricks

to dress yourself in winter.

First, I have a pink sweater

that is so cute.

Combined with this flowery cardigan.

It's very cool to wear in winter, right?

Also, a pair of black and white jeans.

In winter we need multiple layers, right?

But how to make it affordable,

yet still looks cultured?

Very good, right?

Also this beanie. Very cute!

I have more. Wait a minute.

I promise to buy winter clothes,

so you don't need multiple layers.

-Right, Cha?

-What are you doing?

I'm wrong again.

I thought I heard that

-Stop, Dad. Okay.

-you want to tell yourself

It's not that. You won't understand.

-Are you okay?

-Enough. Stop!

-Cha?

-Enough, Dad!

Cha?

Just go away!

Oca is really moody, isn't she?

It's so bad.

My head hurts handling her.

That's what puberty is.

You don't need to force her,

or she can turn rebellious.

What do you mean by force?

Just go with the flow. It's nothing.

Go with the flow how?

I don't do anything in particular.

The point is,

you don't need to force things.

If you don't have the money

for the student exchange,

then don't force it.

Who said there's no money?

The point is,

Oca can join the student exchange.

Don't worry about the money,

that's my problem.

Okay?

Alright, if we already have the money

I just want to remind you

not to force things.

Besides, Oca herself

doesn't really want the student exchange.

Let's go here.

It seems they have winter clothes.

Alright, come on.

Here, Oca must like this. It's very nice!

Wait a minute.

Does this fit with

young people's taste nowadays?

This is fashion, sir.

Right. That's why I invited you.

Alright then.

-Get this. I think it fits me as well.

-Miss, please ring this up.

What else?

That's enough for now.

We will search at other places.

Sir, I think while Oca is in Italy,

tell her to become a personal shopper.

-That means extra money for her.

-You are right.

But does she want to do it or not?

She has a lot of pride.

Just like her father.

-Or maybe it's her father

-Well, that's right.

Is it ready?

Wait a minute.

-Sorry.

-Thank you, sir.

Thanks a lot, sir.

Tik?

Do you want that wallet?

No, sir.

It's okay. I'll buy that for you.

Because you have

accompanied me shopping for Oca.

-Are you serious?

-I lied.

I wouldn't lie.

Just take it, Tik.

One, two, three

Four

You don't need to think, Tik.

He will pay for it.

Eight, nine

When will you get this again?

Just take it!

Fourteen, fifteen

Enough, Tik.

You count too much.

Before someone buys it.

Seventeen, eighteen

Come on, take it. Take it quick!

-Nineteen, twenty.

-Tik!

I will pay for that.

-Wait a minute.

-Are we done?

One minute, please.

Oops!

Don't drop it, that's good stuff.

Thank you, sir.

We should do this more often.

Where have you come from, Tika?

-From the office, of course.

-No.

You're lying.

I know that you

didn't come from the office.

Wait a minute.

It's not what it seems.

What do you actually do at your work?

How could you do this to us?

Since when did you become a sugar baby,

being kept by a manther?

For the sake of money and style,

you're willing to risk everything?

Just like other women here did?

Hold on!

Give me a chance to explain things.

Okay, now tell the truth.

What actually happened?

You don't even know

how it started, do you?

Don't just jump to conclusions!

That "manther", Mr. Tanto,

is the boss at my office.

He's the guild master for

collecting client's debt, the debt-col!

-Taxation.

-Taxation!

Yes, taxation. He's my taxation boss.

He asked for my help,

because his daughter

will join a student exchange to Europe.

So he requested my help to find

winter clothes for his daughter.

And that's it.

See? Don't just jump to conclusions,

accusing your daughter

of being a kept woman!

It's a bad thing, you know?

Mr. Tanto was just asking for her help,

to pick out clothes for his daughter.

It's not like you put any thought

into what I'll be wearing anyway.

-Yes, I'm sorry.

-You should be.

-Hardheaded.

-You're the one who started it.

-Don't be so prejudiced.

-Why do you provoke things?

I don't provoke,

you're the one who's being prejudiced.

Hello, Dion.

Yes, what's up, Tik?

Your tips aren't working.

I hadn't finished counting to 50

and I already took the thing.

Luckily, someone bought it for me.

Well then,

that's a different ball game, right?

Tik?

You skipped class today?

Why did you do that, all of so sudden?

You don't like your school?

-It's not like that.

-Oca.

Whether you like it or not,

you shouldn't skip class.

Perhaps the way your father

enrolled you into a prestigious school

That made him proud as a parent.

You should respect that,

at the very least.

Hey, hey, hey!

-Your daughter skipped class today.

-Huh?

Oca skipped class?

You're concerned about

the student exchange, right?

Here.

These are some goods

for you to take to Europe.

Relax, I've also paid

all of the fees for you to go.

Dad! Why don't you understand me?

I've already told you.

Why are you going the extra length

in making me join the student exchange?

I will be alright,

even if I don't join it.

Mom? Why is Oca crying?

Cha.

I don't have any agenda.

Just like other parents,

I'm going above and beyond

to support your development.

Dad, all parents will go

above and beyond for their children.

But would you spend your time on me?

To talk to me,

listen to me, understand me?

Would you?

Of course!

Like now, I've already found out

what your preference would be.

I even asked Tika

to help me find things

that kids nowadays see

as very cultured things.

So, here they are.

Cha?

Cha? Oca!

Tika? Who is that?

You have another woman?

It's not like that.

We're talking about our daughter now.

Yes, but who is Tika

that you took her to shop for Oca?

-Is she that special?

-Nobody said that.

-So then?

-Oca knows her.

Huh? How does she know Oca?

Cha!

Sir.

It seems that I'm not a good father, eh?

Why do you say that?

My wife and kid hate everything I do.

Hang in there, sir.

It turns out that Oca doesn't want

to join the student exchange.

Seriously? But you bought her

so many items for that.

What's more

my wife suspected

that I was having an affair with you.

While you were only

helping me shop for Oca.

Why is it so hard?

To know what's in a woman's mind.

And I have two of them.

Bloody hell!

Why are you here?

Yes, sir, it's hard indeed

to understand what's in their mind.

Tika.

Hi, Cha. Are you at school?

Um, yeah, why?

Oh, it's nothing.

I just want to talk to you.

About?

About you, actually.

Um, so listen, let me tell you something.

A few days ago, your father asked me

to help him buy you some clothes.

Why did he asked me,

because he knows that he has bad taste.

But he really loves you, Cha.

You're very lucky

to have a father like him.

I know.

But, that's just the problem.

Why can't he love me the way I want?

I think because he doesn't know

how to express it in any other way.

But he tried so hard.

He tried so hard to understand you,

to know what do you feel.

Although it seems like

he's thinking about himself.

For me, I think

there's lack of communication

between you and your father.

There's a gap between the two of you.

Maybe you guys need to talk more,

to understand each other.

Yeah, okay.

Thank you.

Mr. Tanto.

From my point of view

What Oca needs, is not luxurious goods,

or a rich father.

What she needs

is that you can communicate with her.

Because

Why would she need all those fancy items

if her parents don't

communicate with her

or, furthermore, support her.

That's for me, at least.

Sorry.

Take it easy.

Cha.

Cha?

Can I come in?

Cha?

Cha.

I'm so sorry.

For all this time

I never once thought

about how you feel,

or what you want.

I just see things

through my point of view.

From now on

you don't need to do things

you don't want to do.

After you graduate,

you're free to decide

where do you want to study

and what school you want to go to.

I just want to be a father

who can understand my own daughter.

I don't want to just go

above and beyond or whatever.

Because this is your life.

You decide it, and walk through it.

I'll just try

to support you in everything.

If one day you fall

I'll go down the abyss as well.

Just kidding, why so serious?

You forgive me, don't you?

Cha

Please forgive me.

You're not wrong.

It's just that

the way you do things is annoying.

You're a bit insensitive

about your daughter.

If one day I fall

I'll remember

how you always stand back up.

You often fell, after all

even drowning, sometimes

for forcing me to enroll

in international school.

When I already told you

that I didn't want to.

So, you forgive me?

Let me see

Please?

Alrighty then.

Hug.

-I love you, my daughter.

-I love you too, Dad.

-Where's Mr. Tanto?

-Gone home already.

I see.

Tik, have you eaten yet?

Don't go blushing,

I just asked to eat together.

On what occasion, I wonder.

Nothing special. Do you want to come?

Why are you contemplating,

as if you have a date?

Take back your words!

Many men want me, you know.

-I see.

-Yes, you see.

-So, are you coming?

-What will we eat? Is it pricey?

Soto.

-Alright, then.

-Yeah.

-Let's go.

-Yeah, let's go.

This time you went way too far, Tik.

Did you know that Mr. Tanto

sat on the rooftop till midnight?

Alone.

It's just that I was afraid

he might suddenly jump,

then I would be in trouble.

You know what?

Because of this, I understand that

each individual is different.

Also, that we understand

by listening to each other.

Not pretending to be a hero,

like you and I yesterday.

I'm sorry.

I know you have good intentions,

but what you did was wrong.

-I already apologized for that.

-Yes, you did.

But, I'm grateful

to be able to work there.

Why?

Well

Because I can listen

to what people are ranting about

to know that someone can have

a different point of view from mine.

So, I learned a lot there.

You got to know me, also.

Party-pooper!

Huh? Tika?

Dion?

Would you like to apply

for a job here again?

Tika works with me now, sir,

in the Fintech office.

Excuse me.

-How can I help you?

-Actually, I

What are you doing here?

It hurts.

I was learning how to make money.

Excuse, and excuse.

Want to see this flying at you?
