No one can beat
the love of a father for his daughter.
Okay, go. Let's record this.
One, two, go.
Wow.
You want to record everything?
- Yes.
- You're recording everything?
Okay.
I'll play your favourite song.
Okay.
All right. Okay.
One, two, three.
Okay. One more, yeah?
We're so happy.
Okay. One, two, three.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
Ashhadu an la ilaha ill all ah.
Ashhadu Anna
Muhammadar Rasulullah.
Hayya 'ala-s-Salah.
Hayya 'ala-l-Falah.
Qad qamatis Salah,
Qad qamatis Salah.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
La ilaha ill all ah.
Peace be upon you,
Babah's princess.
Can you turn down the radio?
Turn it down.
Can you turn down the radio?
Can you please?
What did you say?
It's so loud!
Right?
Why didn't you tell me
to turn it down? The baby
I did tell you, actually.
Sorry. You didn't hear me, right?
- Is it okay now?
- Yes, okay.
- Is the baby okay?
- She's okay.
- Hey, Isyak.
- Hmm?
Will you help me
with the briefing tomorrow?
What time?
Eight thirty in the morning.
Why are you so sleepy?
You look horrible.
You were not the only one
who went to bed late.
Look at me. Just fine.
I'm not like you.
Do you know,
I haven't been able to sleep well
since we had Maya.
I wake up every two hours.
She needs to drink.
She needs her pillow adjusted.
She gets restless.
I can't sleep
if she's not comfortable.
But I'm okay.
Just a little bit drowsy.
What's the matter?
Adam, Hayati texted me.
Maya's unwell.
Okay. But don't forget
about tomorrow.
- I'll cover you.
- Nice.
Okay. Thanks, Adam.
Okay.
Four hours of OT.
Okay, that will do.
Hey, Maya.
Her temperature is still high.
What should we do?
- Give her some more medicine?
- No.
- Why not?
- No.
We have to wait
another two hours.
So what do we do?
I'm not sure.
Hey, can you go to the kitchen
and get some tamarinds?
- Laksa Johor?
- No.
Tamarinds.
In the kitchen?
Sweetheart, shh.
- Here, the tamarinds.
- Good. Okay.
- Place them on her forehead?
- No. Not like that.
Take it. You need
Sorry. Go and fetch a bowl.
Get some water.
Fill the bowl with some water.
A bowl.
Where's the bowl?
Come on
- Here.
- Thanks, honey.
My poor girl.
Why is she crying?
- Will this work?
- Yes.
Shh.
We need to place it
on her forehead.
Okay.
Okay.
Here.
- Place it on her forehead?
- On Maya's forehead.
Like this?
Isyak.
Isyak?
Can't hear me, huh?
No wonder. He's not wearing that thing.
Isyak.
New watch, huh?
Of course. It's
I've been eyeing it for so long.
I just got some money,
so I went to buy it.
Take a look.
Wow!
Cartier, huh?
- You know its history?
- No.
It was founded by Louis Cartier.
At that time,
everyone had a pocket watch.
So, Cartier and his partner,
Santos-Dumont, a pilot
When he was flying, it was hard
to reach the pocket watch.
So, they invented
this wristwatch.
I didn't know that.
I just thought it was nice
and good to wear,
so I bought it.
- Yes, it's nice.
- Right?
Imagine.
If they hadn't invented it,
we might still be using pocket watches.
- That would be terrible.
- Of course.
Come to think of it,
sometimes the smallest things
that happen to other people
can have a big impact
on our own lives.
You sure know a lot
about watches, huh?
- You're really into it.
- Yeah.
I am.
It's just that
watches symbolise time.
Time symbolises success.
And it's time
that creates great moments.
Like now.
Once it has passed,
it will never come again.
So, we need to cherish
every moment in life.
Why don't we have a great moment
by going for a drink?
- That would be nice.
- No can do.
It's time for me
to be with my daughter.
I'm going to create some moments
with my princess.
Let's dance.
Maya, you pooped?
What's her name?
Good girl.
Hold on.
You're Maya.
I'm Babah.
Babah.
- "Babah"
- You said "Babah"?
That was the first time
Maya said "Babah".
That's it.
We're done.
Okay, we're done.
What's with that long face?
Let me take the hair clip.
Why are you taking it?
It was just for the picture.
You can't wear it to school.
You have to be neat.
Your hair needs to be tied.
Let me fix your hair.
Turn around.
Okay.
All right.
If we don't follow the rules,
I will be scolded by your teachers.
- Can they scold you?
- Of course.
Because the rules are important.
"Prawns"? What do you mean?
What? "Prawns"?
You said "prawns".
Not "prawns".
Rules.
If we break the rules, it's not only
the teachers who will be mad.
We might be arrested
by the police.
We must follow the rules, okay?
- Got it?
- Gosh.
I don't like it.
It looks good, sweetheart.
It's neat that way.
You look like a princess.
One last check.
Okay, all good.
Let's go downstairs.
I'm almost done with this.
Babah, when are you buying it?
What more do you need?
Babah promised
to buy me a piano.
And?
I'll buy it later, sweetheart.
Today is your first day
at school.
The teacher might say to you,
"Tell us about yourself."
What will you say?
I'll say this. Listen.
"My name is Maya binti Isyak."
"My father's name is Isyak."
"My mother's name is Hayati."
And?
What does your father do?
Is he a fisherman?
"My father is an architect."
"He goes to work
with a helmet
and a big piece of paper,
"and he's good
at drawing tall buildings."
How tall are the buildings
that he draws?
This tall.
Wow! That's so tall.
That's not tall enough.
- Then?
- More like
- This tall!
- Babah!
Mama, why are you
covering my eyes?
Because we have
a surprise for you.
Stop. Go down the stairs.
One more.
Last one.
Okay, go straight.
Stop.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
Babah!
Maya!
What is this?
- Thank you, Babah.
- You're welcome, sweetheart.
- You like it?
- Of course.
Let's play it together.
- Mama, sit down.
- Okay.
Okay. One, two, go.
Hello. Hi.
Babah, Mama taught me to play
the song "Happy Birthday".
You want to hear it?
- Sure.
- Come.
- Okay, sit here.
- Okay.
Here.
Wow!
- Teach me.
- Okay.
First
Once again.
That's enough, sweetheart.
Go and take a shower.
Do your homework
and we'll perform the prayer together.
But I'm not done playing.
Play it after showering, okay?
Okay then.
Sweetheart, come here.
I love you.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
I didn't expect this.
I've given everything to the company.
My time, my effort.
I really thought I could go far
with that company.
It's okay, honey.
No one can know the future.
But you know what?
This opportunity
is for you to try new things.
For us to grow.
Okay?
We start new.
I know that,
but I have my concerns.
Maya's just started school.
We need money.
Where can I find a job
at such short notice?
Don't think like that.
You shouldn't let yourself
find this stressful.
You need to think positive.
You know I'm always
with you, right?
Always?
Thank you, sweetheart.
And I'm sorry.
Why?
We're a team.
We'll work on this together.
You taught Maya this song?
Yes.
day to you
Look.
Hello, Adam.
What's up?
How's your new job?
That's fine.
Can't you help me?
I'm hoping for the chance
to go for an interview.
Right.
I understand.
It's so hard nowadays.
I just went to another interview.
They said I was overqualified.
But I didn't think
they were looking for someone.
Yes.
I've been to so many interviews.
I just haven't got
the second call.
Tell me, Adam.
Currently,
are there architecture firms
that would hire a draftsman?
The only projects out there
are ongoing ones.
Should I start a business?
I don't have the guts, Adam.
Yes.
I know.
All right, let me know, yeah?
If there's an opening
at your company,
please let me know,
regardless of the job scope.
Okay.
All right. Bye.
- Sorry.
- Yes. Sorry.
Have you found it?
- Isyak.
- Hmm?
Have you found a job?
Not yet.
It's okay.
Nothing comes easily.
Everything happens for a reason.
Maybe a better path
is waiting for you.
A better path, Uncle Lim?
I don't know.
It's nowhere to be seen.
Isyak.
In this life,
nothing to regret.
One time you go up,
one time you go down.
No such thing, when you go down,
you cannot go up again.
Just remember,
God answers you in three ways.
God says, "Yes"
And gives you what you want.
God says, "No"
And gives you something better.
Or
Or?
Or God says, "Wait,"
and gives you the best.
Gives the best?
Gives the best, huh?
Gives the best.
Uncle Lim.
Uncle Lim, I need your help.
What is it?
I want to pawn this watch.
Isyak.
It's an expensive watch.
I'm not asking for much. I'll take
whatever you're willing to pay.
I need some money.
Okay then.
But I want you
to make me a promise.
You must buy it back later.
Uncle
I have things that matter more
than that watch.
Darling.
I bought some groceries.
That's a lot.
They will last us longer.
What are you doing?
Checking the bills.
They're quite high.
Don't worry.
I'll pay them tomorrow.
Maya went to bed already?
Yes.
Darling.
Have some of this.
Yes.
Is it fried noodles?
Yes, fried noodles.
You're right.
Have some.
Okay.
How is it?
Just fine.
Darling.
You ordered this every day
when you were pregnant.
Really?
I remember this one time.
At 2:30 in the morning,
you woke up and asked for
Pak Abu's fried noodles.
Did you think his shop
would still be open?
So, I went out to a Mamak stall
and bought these fried noodles for you.
You ate them.
- You didn't complain.
- Really?
Since then, this has been it.
Pak Abu's fried noodles.
I gave them to you every day.
This is it.
So, you've been lying to me?
It was a loving lie.
Here, have some more.
What is this?
Who is it for?
Maya loves playing the piano,
so I signed her up for a piano class.
She should learn it the proper way.
Right.
Where did you get the money?
I pawned my watch to Uncle Lim.
Darling.
It's just for now.
I'll buy it back
once I have some extra money.
Darling.
Don't overthink it. It's okay.
I've got things under control.
I want some more.
Pak Abu's charm, huh?
Here.
Are you joining the class too?
Of course.
Your shirt's here.
The makeup's there.
Twenty minutes, yeah?
You, go now.
Should I do it here?
- Ten. There are ten.
- So many.
It's so hot.
Boss, can I go home now?
Stay a bit longer.
Mama, where's Babah?
Why is he late?
Thanks.
Hayati.
Maya?
Maya.
- Hi, darling.
- Babah.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to Maya
Babah's princess
Happy birthday to you
- Thank you, Babah.
- You're welcome, darling.
I'm sorry.
I didn't forget your birthday.
I was at work.
But I remembered.
Look.
Mr. Roger has a friend
now. See?
- Hello!
- Hello!
My name's Babah.
What's your name?
My name's Maya.
- Really? Hi.
- Hi.
- Is it your birthday?
- Yes.
Add two first.
Two
This is our daily routine.
Every morning,
Maya will still be doing her homework.
Every day, Maya arrives at school late.
Go. Come on.
I've tried doing so many things
to support my family.
I was so worried that I couldn't give
the best for her future.
I believed
I could go further
with the knowledge that I had.
So, I sacrificed some of my time with her.
The pivot point is here.
Time moved so fast
and left the shadows behind.
Maya, we've got to go.
- How is it? Is my tie okay?
- It's okay.
Let's go.
Maya still had a long journey ahead.
I tried to give everything
that Maya wanted.
I believe in Him
who always provides.
- I can play with it soon.
- Yes, Maya.
Okay, come and have a drink, darling.
Routine can sometimes make us
unaware of time flying by.
When was the last time
I held Maya in my arms?
Maya got better
at playing the piano each day.
I hoped to see her on stage someday.
Mama!
If only I were able to freeze time
at this exact moment.
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Where's Maya? It's late.
She's upstairs.
You know how she is.
She waits until the due date
to start work,
and then does it all that day.
I reminded her every night
to do her homework before going to bed
so that she wouldn't be overwhelmed.
You know, she needs to learn
the importance of punctuality.
I always say, blessings come
in the early morning.
- You have to wake up early.
- You have to wake up early.
So that today will be way better
than yesterday.
Where's Maya?
Wait, sit down. Relax.
I think you need to get a new hearing aid.
- Why?
- I'm concerned.
- About what?
- You shouldn't be stressed.
When you're stressing out
and overthinking,
do you know what you're doing?
- No.
- You'll do this.
- Are you listening to me?
- What?
- Can you hear me?
- No.
- I'll say it louder.
- Louder.
- I can't hear you.
- Can you hear me?
Maya? Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Are you in pain?
Where do you feel sore?
Here? Let me see.
You know what?
It happened to me too
a long time ago.
Look at me now.
I'm fine, right?
What are you so worried about?
It'll be okay.
Hayati!
- Hayati!
- Yes?
We're late.
Where's Maya?
She's not going to school.
She doesn't want to?
It's not that she doesn't want to.
She can't go to school.
Why not?
Our girl is becoming a teenager, honey.
- You mean?
- Yes.
- This?
- Yes.
- Maya?
- Yes.
That's why she's been acting weird.
You can tell?
Of course. I'm her mother.
Honey, our girl is growing up.
That means we're old now, darling.
Right?
Yes.
It's okay. We're together.
It's not okay. Before we know it,
she'll be getting married.
- It's normal to get married.
- No way.
- She will not get married.
- Why?
No one can have our girl that easily.
Right.
Never mind. You should go.
They'll have to deal with me first.
- Yes.
- Okay.
I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Love you.
- Love you too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Uncle.
- Yes?
Do you have any OAG CDs?
They're sold out.
Sold out
- Babah.
- Wow!
- Babah?
- Maya!
Maya, come here!
Babah.
Don't yell. Fix that thing.
I was just there.
- Do you know him?
- No.
You don't know this legend?
Remember his name. Sudirman.
He was the only singer in Malaysia
whose concert caused roads to be closed
and who offered free entry.
Everyone could go.
- Really?
- Yes. I went to the concert.
Try and make a guess.
How many people attended that concert?
Around 3,000?
Only 3,000?
I'll give you another try.
It was more than that.
- Five thousand?
- Almost 100,000, Maya.
That's the power of music.
It can gather so many people in one place.
But only one person
was able to steal my heart.
Who was it?
Your Mama, Hayati.
I went to the concert with her.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
One day, I hope to see you
perform in a concert like that.
Everyone will watch you playing the piano.
- The roads will be closed.
- Gosh, Babah.
I'm not that good at playing the piano.
Why do you say that?
I believe in you.
Do you believe in yourself?
- Do you? I'll do it, yeah?
- Babah, no.
Enough. Let's go.
Stop growing up so fast.
- It's you who's getting old.
- Hey!
Maya.
Maya.
Why aren't you getting ready?
I'm not in the mood.
Get your stuff.
I'll drive you.
I'm not
playing the piano anymore.
You've been doing it for so long.
I've only been doing it
because of you.
You have to finish
what you started.
You're so close
to completing it.
I have loads of homework
to be done.
- Come on.
- That's just an excuse.
- I don't want to hear it.
- You're always like this.
You never listen
and you keep pressuring me.
I said I didn't want to go.
Okay, class.
That's all for today.
Remember. Next week,
there'll be an assessment.
So, do some revision.
Okay, that's all.
You may leave.
Ikmal!
Gosh! Don't yell to call your boyfriend.
- You startled me.
- Sorry.
- Whatever. Bye.
- Bye.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You're still here?
- Yes. I'm waiting for Babah.
What time are we going online?
Gosh. Going online?
I'm playing football later.
Is that so?
What a bummer.
- Maya!
- Then maybe we can
Maya!
Maya!
Gosh, he's here.
Okay, Ikmal.
I'm leaving. Bye.
Later, yeah? Promise?
Text me. Bye.
Who's that?
No one.
Let's go.
Let's go!
- Hayati.
- Yes?
Where's Maya?
She's upstairs.
She said not to let anyone come in.
Why?
I don't know.
So, about that thing
You wanted to buy
that rattan lamp.
- We can get it at
- Babah, Mama.
I'm leaving for the piano class.
Shaza's picking me up.
We have an exam today.
Don't come too early.
I'll call you.
I'll come to pick you up.
Yeah.
- Bye.
- You're leaving now?
Shake my hand before leaving.
Yeah.
No, no, no, Babah.
I've straightened my hair.
You always do that.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye. Be safe.
All right.
- Take care.
- Okay.
- What?
- So
What were we saying?
Okay. That's it.
Go back to your place.
Okay, next.
Go ahead.
Hayati, is Maya home?
Babah?
Babah.
Babah.
Babah!
Babah.
Babah!
Babah, please.
Please listen to what I have to say.
Maya, go upstairs and get changed.
I don't want to talk about it now.
No, you listen to me, Babah.
I've told you before, right?
I'm no longer interested.
I'm done playing the piano.
Babah! See?
You never listen to me.
You can't blame me.
Who should I blame then?
Myself?!
How many sessions have you skipped?
You tell me now!
Babah.
It's not a big deal.
Not a big deal, you say?
I have so many commitments as a student.
I have homework.
I have exams.
I'm exhausted, Babah.
It's unacceptable
that you lied to me!
Yes, I lied to you, and I'm sorry, okay?
Today
All my friends are going
to a concert.
I wish I could go too.
I'd be excited
to go to a concert.
But did I tell you?
No, I didn't even tell you.
Because I knew
you would never let me go.
Yes, because I know
what's good and what's bad.
I just want the best for you!
And that's you, Babah!
Have you ever asked me
what I want?
Have you ever asked me
what I like?
What songs do I prefer?
There! The poster in my room.
Have you ever asked about it?
No! You never ask me anything!
You want me to keep playing the piano?
Fine!
Fine!
I can keep playing it!
Please, Babah.
Why aren't you like other dads?
BABAH, I'M LEAVING THE OFFICE
BUT I'M GOING FOR A DRINK
WITH MY FRIENDS
I'll BE HOME LATE
WHICH FRIENDS?
SHAZA, ALIA, AND REDZA
I WON'T BE
EATING DINNER AT HOME
OKAY. I'll LET MAMA KNOW
THAT SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO COOK
DON'T COME HOME LATE
I LOVE YOU
Hi. Yes. Okay.
- One spring chicken.
- Okay.
I want another one,
the same thing.
- Takeaway.
- Okay.
For the takeaway order,
you don't have
to prepare it too early.
And a bottle of water.
- Okay. That's all?
- Thank you.
That's all.
Babe, you just got here.
Are you going back already?
You know my Babah, right?
It's a trick
for me to go home early.
Thank God my dad isn't as
creative as your Babah.
So what's the interesting case
that you're handling now?
Nothing much.
I'm doing lots of commercials.
- Okay.
- Just regular things.
Merger between two companies.
And I have to do
lots of research.
- Okay.
- Negotiations.
Drafting contracts et cetera.
I see.
- Scary.
- Yeah.
Hold on. So, you have a lot
of inside information?
Company mergers that are
preparing to enter IPO.
- Uh-huh.
- Tell me about it.
- Oh, no!
- Come on!
- I want to buy stocks.
- No. I know.
It's P&C, okay? No.
Come on.
There he goes,
talking about stocks.
By the way, Maya,
why don't you go jogging
with us tomorrow?
No can do.
My goodness. Why?
I don't want to.
- Come on.
- No.
- Shaza, are you going?
- No, this is more important.
And I have plans tomorrow.
Sorry, it's a no.
What a shame, Maya.
You'll be missing out
Something is fishy here.
No. That's not it.
- Nothing.
- Are you setting me up?
I promise you will like it.
Come tomorrow.
I smell something fishy.
Okay, okay.
- Okay, I'll come.
- Yes!
But I'll leave early
if I feel bored, okay?
- Okay, deal.
- All right. Okay.
- Deal?
- Deal.
Okay.
- Done.
- Can you trust them?
No, I've never trusted them,
not even in my school days.
I'll never trust them.
Peace be upon you.
Sorry.
You haven't gone to sleep?
I'm hungry. I was waiting
to eat dinner with you.
I'm sorry, Babah. Have a seat.
Wait here.
I'll get your dinner.
How was work today?
Okay. I'm a little bit tired.
I was busy.
If you're tired,
you should go to bed.
It's okay.
I'll keep you company.
Okay.
Have you eaten?
Yes.
Sorry, guys. I'm late.
Maya.
Surprise!
We'll start running and
we'll let you guys catch up.
Just catch up.
Don't do anything else.
Don't take too long.
- You set it up?
- Yes.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Fifteen minutes late.
You're still the same.
You never change, huh?
Well
I'm 15 minutes late,
but I run fast.
Do you want to bet?
Okay. Game on.
Okay. On the count of three
- Two, one!
- Hey!
You're cheating!
Come on!
Are you tired?
I thought
you weren't going to stop.
I'm sorry. I lied to you.
I actually don't like running.
But you're not fit either.
It's been a while
since I last exercised.
- I see.
- Yeah.
I spend my working day
dealing with simulators.
What do you do?
- Me?
- Yes.
I'm a simulator engineer.
Oh, an engineer.
So what's your job scope?
Basically, my job is
To develop
simulation aircraft
- All right.
- And
I'm out of breath.
I need to conduct a test
on the simulation program
and figure out
how to manoeuvre the aircraft
so that it can fly autonomously.
Right.
Okay. So you can fly one?
Of course
I cannot.
But I can fly one if you want.
Oh, no, it's okay.
So where are you working?
I'm with
an international company.
But for now, they're based
in Malaysia, so yeah.
I'm working here.
Enough about me.
How about you?
Me?
I just completed my chambering
last August,
and now I am working in a law firm.
I know that face.
Why?
Sorry, I didn't expect that.
Oh, it seems like someone
had different expectations for my future.
No.
Nah
When we were in school,
you were so into arts.
Right.
So, I thought you might become
an actress or
You play piano, right?
You love playing it, right?
Maybe a musician.
No.
Wrong guess.
Maya!
Please tell him.
Me? You should tell him yourself.
You're the one getting married, right? Go.
Babah, that day
Ikmal
I don't like this one.
Omega.
Babah.
Do you still remember Ikmal?
He was my school friend.
Remember?
Which one?
You forgot.
Wait.
He just came back from the UK.
Babah.
That day
I
I met him here.
That's it?
Look at me.
"Babah, I want to get married."
See?
Easy-peasy.
- Babah, I want to get married.
- Yes.
Like that.
Babah.
That day
Ikmal and me
Went out for a jog
with our friends.
Babah
Next week,
- Ikmal, he
- Here, sir.
Thank you.
He wants to go out with me.
Can I go?
Where's Mama?
I don't know.
Tell him what Ikmal does for a living.
Right.
Go.
Babah.
You know what?
Ikmal works as a senior engineer.
He's the youngest employee
in the company.
Yes.
I'll pay.
Yes. I'll pay, okay?
- I'll pay.
- Really?
- Okay. I'll push the cart.
- Sure.
Did you know?
I didn't.
Seriously, I didn't know.
Okay, done.
Go straight? Oh, here.
I don't need the receipt.
All good?
My bread.
Babah.
I'm thinking of bringing him
to meet both of you.
We'll have a meal with him at home, okay?
Okay?
Is he your boyfriend?
No. We're just friends.
Maya wants us to meet her friend.
So?
Give her a chance.
She's all grown up.
Yes or no?
It's a no then.
Sure, but what about her future?
Thank you.
Come sit with me.
You know, right?
I love you, always.
No one can replace you.
You're my only Babah.
And I know
That you love me so much.
Right?
Trust me.
I'm sure you'll like Ikmal.
Okay.
Hi.
Hi.
Please come in.
Oh, yes. It's okay.
You can park here. No worries.
Okay.
Okay.
- This is my Babah.
- Uncle.
Peace be upon you.
Come, I want you
to meet my Mama.
Okay.
- Mama.
- Maya.
Ikmal.
- This is him?
- Aunty.
- Peace be upon you.
- And upon you be peace.
- Please sit.
- Okay.
- Ikmal.
- Yes?
- That's my Babah's seat.
- His
- Okay.
- Sit there.
Sorry.
It's okay.
We finally meet.
I've been hearing a lot
about you from Maya.
Uncle, thank you so much,
Aunty, for inviting me.
It's nice to meet
both of you here.
He said, "Thank you for inviting."
You're welcome.
No.
- You're welcome.
- Oh, I thought
Uncle, I'm sorry.
You're welcome.
Please eat. Help yourself.
Was it easy finding your way
to this house?
Many people have trouble finding it.
Yes.
Since when have you known Maya?
Sorry, he was asking,
"How did you come
to know Maya?"
"When did you two meet?"
All that.
Okay. A long time ago.
Since we were in school.
But right after leaving school,
I moved to the UK
with my family.
Please.
Is it true
that you have relocated?
You're not going back to the UK?
You told me, right?
- You're staying here, right?
- Yes, I'm staying.
I'm staying here.
But if there's a new station,
the company will assign staff
to handle operations there.
Maya recently graduated.
She'll be busy working.
Okay. Listen.
That's his usual face.
He's not angry.
Maya's just finished her chambering,
so she'll be busy with work soon.
But only if you don't mind.
That's why he asked.
Yes, when Maya told me
that she was a lawyer,
I was surprised.
I don't mind.
But if you get married to a lawyer,
every time there's an argument
"Here, I've filed a lawsuit."
You're so funny, Ikmal.
Here.
HE MADE A JOKE
YOU SHOULD LAUGH
You made a joke, huh?
It's spicy.
- Asam pedas.
- Yes, asam pedas.
Let's eat.
By the way, is your family still there?
Are you here alone?
Or not?
SPICY FOOD? BABAH, DID YOU SAY SOMETHING
TO MAMA? IKMAL DOESN'T EAT SPICY FOOD.
- Yes.
- Is it spicy?
No, it's not.
Yes, they're still in the UK
because my dad works there.
And
I guess once he retires,
they'll move back here.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
His family lives far away.
They're in the UK.
He's alone here. Poor boy.
Do you eat burgers?
Yes, I do.
Why do you like Maya?
He wants to know,
"Why do you like Maya?"
There must be something.
Just tell us.
Is it because she's pretty?
Or is it because she's bright?
- Toilet.
- Again?
I need to use the toilet.
Maya, show him the way.
- Let's go.
- Aunty, sorry.
It's okay.
Come on. Let's go.
What are you doing?
What's your problem?
I was just messing around.
- Ikmal, here.
- Yes.
It's coffee.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I'll be in the kitchen.
I want to help Mama
with the dishes.
Stay here.
All good?
Yeah.
YOU HAVE A WATCH SHOP, RIGHT?
YES, I'M A WATCH ENTHUSIAST.
SORRY FOR ASKING, BUT SINCE WHEN
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR HEARING?
IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
I USED TO WEAR A HEARING AID.
12 YEARS AGO
I BECAME TOTALLY DEAF.
I HAVE AUNTY AND MAYA
TO BE MY EARS.
PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.
GOD WILLING,
I'll GIVE MY BLESSING.
PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.
GOD WILLING,
I'll GIVE MY BLESSING.
GOD WILLING.
God willing.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Where are we going?
It's a secret.
Come on. It's starting.
- Maya
- Sorry.
- Maya
- Hold on.
- Maya.
- Yes. One moment.
Oh my God. My favourite song.
Okay.
You have to listen
and understand the lyrics.
- Maya.
- Yes?
I have something to tell you.
Sure, tell me. I'm listening.
I
I like you.
I
I've liked you
since we were in school.
When I came back
And met you again
To be honest,
every day I'm thinking
about you.
I think I'm in love
With you.
Okay. You're so funny.
You're so sweet.
I
I actually feel comfortable
when I'm around you.
I can be myself
And you accept me for who I am.
I think I'm in love
with you too.
Who is he?
- You don't know him?
- No.
That's Noh Salleh.
Noh who?
Noh Salleh.
The best rock star ever.
All right.
Thank you. Stay safe.
- Come. Hello.
- Hi.
- Hello. Hi.
- Let's take a selfie.
Thank you for coming.
- Ready.
- Okay, ready.
One, two
- Bye. See you.
- Okay.
- See you.
- Take care.
- Thank you.
- Come.
- Maya.
- Yes?
Want to go for a drink?
I don't think so.
So sorry, it's just
I gave my word to Babah that
I wouldn't come home late.
No worries. It's okay.
Maya.
One moment.
You know what? I
Am jealous
Because you and your Babah
are so close.
I wish my parents were like yours.
I don't know
What it feels like.
My parents are busy with work.
All the time.
And I don't think
I have any sweet memories
with them.
You know what?
When I was
17 years old,
I had a big fight with Babah.
Okay.
You know,
he was too controlling.
He didn't even care
about what I wanted.
It was too stifling.
So, I became rebellious.
But
I didn't know
at that time that stress
Could make him
lose his hearing.
He's deaf because of me.
I'm sorry about that.
And I don't think
you should blame yourself.
The last thing I said
before he lost his hearing
"Why aren't you like other dads?"
The guilt
Until now
Has been eating me up.
That's why I'm willing to do
anything for my Babah.
All I want is to communicate
with him again.
So, yes.
That's one of the
"sweet" memories that we have.
We should go.
Everyone has left.
Yeah. Let's go.
"I give you the hand
of my daughter in marriage"
Maya binti Isyak
with the mahr of
"five hundred ringgit in cash."
In the name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful.
I accept her hand in marriage
Maya
M-A-Y-A
Binti
Isyak
I-S-Y-A-K,
with
The mahr of
five hundred ringgit
In cash.
- Acceptable?
- Yes.
- Acceptable?
- Yes.
Praise be to God.
A'udhu bill a hi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
Alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alamin.
Wassalatu wassalam 'ala
Sayyidina Muhammadin ashrafi al-mursalin.
Wa 'ala alihi wa sahbihi
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
Okay.
Peace be upon everyone.
- Mama?
- Yes?
Babah.
It's for you.
Okay.
First of all,
on my own behalf and also
on behalf of my husband,
Ikmal,
I would like to say
thank you so much
for coming
to our wedding tonight.
We very much appreciate it
and actually
I have a surprise
for you, Babah.
Babah
I hope
you will like this.
Thank you.
Babah
YOU WERE THE FIRST MAN
IN MY LIFE
THE BEST BABAH IN THE WORLD
BUT I'M NOT THE BEST DAUGHTER
I ALWAYS HURT YOUR FEELINGS
BUT YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
BY MY SIDE
ALTHOUGH WE SPEAK AND LISTEN
IN DIFFERENT WAYS
YOU ALWAYS UNDERSTAND
ALL MY JOY AND SORROW
THANK YOU FOR BEING
MY BEST FRIEND
I WILL ALWAYS BE BABAH'S PRINCESS
FOREVER
Thank you, Maya.
I love you so much.
You're Babah's princess.
Forever.
You're welcome.
- Thank you, darling.
- You're welcome.
Let's eat.
How was it at the clinic?
It's sour.
Right?
Only a little bit.
Babah!
Mama asked you something.
How was it at the clinic?
Okay. Praise be to God.
Maya's okay,
and the baby's okay.
But for the morning sickness, the doctor
advised her to drink plenty of water.
To prevent dehydration.
That's true.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Don't worry.
- Mama.
- Yes?
Babah.
I have some good news to share.
He has something to say.
Last month,
I applied
for a posting in Nepal.
Last month,
he applied to work in Nepal.
The company has chosen me
to operate the new station
- as a team leader.
- He'll manage the new station.
Ikmal will be the team leader.
Congratulations.
Babah, Ikmal will have
his own team.
- But
- But what?
I need your permission
to bring Maya along
and move there after her
postpartum confinement.
To Nepal?
Yes.
But
But
I'll be going there first
To find a house for us.
Only then will we move there.
Only then will we move.
Did you know about this?
No, but I'm okay.
Are you okay?
What about your work?
I'm thinking of quitting.
I want to focus
on taking care of my baby.
Then, I'll figure out
what to do, okay?
- He said okay.
- Okay?
- What a relief.
- Were you nervous?
I was nervous.
Babah.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
- Okay.
- It's sour.
We've been waiting for so long.
Be patient.
I can't wait to meet our grandchild.
I know it's gonna be hard for you.
But from now on, my good advice
is that you need to think about
and plan for your life.
Especially with your newborn baby.
It will take some time
for her to recover from the infection.
I'm so sorry for you.
Ikmal.
Is everything okay?
Is the baby okay?
What happened?
The doctor told me that
Maya's suffering from
Guillain-Barr syndrome
due to giving birth.
Her immune system was weak at that time.
Her antibodies attacked her nerves.
How is the baby?
Okay.
But she had to be warded
due to yellow fever.
Tell me.
You said Maya's paralysed, right?
How bad is it?
Mama
Maya's paralysed from her neck down.
Right now,
she can't breathe on her own.
She needs a breathing tube.
I'm sorry.
I've made up my mind.
I'll quit working.
- No.
- Mama
We don't even know
when she will recover.
Maybe a year, maybe more.
You should think positive.
We'll figure out
how to deal with this.
Mama, what are we figuring out?
I already accepted the new post.
I'm supposed to leave
in two or three days.
It's okay.
We can take care of them.
Babah will take care of Maya.
I'll take care of Kis.
And you should go to work.
Mama.
Maya
Is my responsibility.
I promised Babah and you
that I'd take care of her.
Ikmal,
she's our responsibility too.
Even if I leave for the job,
do you think my heart will be at ease?
What if something were to happen to Maya?
Calm down.
Please don't overthink it.
Just think about Maya.
I have no clue what
you guys are talking about.
Why couldn't we bring the baby home?
I know.
IKMAL WANTS TO QUIT HIS JOB
TO TAKE CARE OF MAYA
WE KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO LIVE IN HARDSHIP.
I CAN HELP YOU.
BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION
THAT'S GOOD FOR ALL OF US.
Babah
I'm
Really concerned
About Maya.
Me too.
I can take care of her.
You don't have to worry.
Just focus on your work.
Let me focus on Maya.
- Babah!
- Maya!
Babah!
Babah!
Why aren't you like other dads?
My love.
Thank you so much
for everything.
I really hope
You'll get to meet our daughter.
She looks just like you.
Her nose.
She's as pretty as you are.
Please.
Please, darling.
Wake up.
I know you're strong.
I know you can get through this.
Please, darling. Wake up.
Everyone needs you.
Our daughter needs you.
Babah needs you.
Mama needs you.
And I need you.
I'm really sorry.
I have to break my promise.
I won't be able to take care
of you while you're sick.
But I hope you will understand
my decision.
Maya's life was supposed
to be complete now.
But a tragedy struck
when she was 29 years old.
Everything that she had built
was gone.
She was paralysed from the neck down
and treated in the ICU.
She was diagnosed
with Guillain-Barr syndrome,
a rare autoimmune disease.
I'll take care of you.
On Day 10 in the hospital,
she was still relying
on the ventilator to breathe.
Since she wasn't able
to move her body
An ergo lift was used
to lift her up
and help her sit
on the chair every day.
Maya couldn't speak or use sign language.
We communicated by using a writing board.
Kis was a month old
at that time.
Every day,
she came to visit her Mama
But Maya still
wasn't able to play with her
or take care of her.
Maya was fighting for her life
every single day.
Even though she was in pain
She kept trying to communicate
with her daughter.
She kept trying
to play with Kis every day.
On Day 70,
Maya no longer needed
to use the ventilator,
and she was discharged
from the ICU.
After three months
Maya was finally able to talk to Kis.
Maya could sit in a wheelchair.
She became better each day.
Maya started physiotherapy on Day 78.
two, three.
On Day 87
For the first time,
Maya managed to stand up on her own.
She worked really hard
to get back to living
a normal life.
To be a mother
and a wife to her family.
Eventually, she became strong enough
to hold and feed Kis for the first time.
- One, two, three.
- Maya's legs became stronger.
- Go.
- She was now able
to pedal and stand up.
On Day 94
After a long time,
Maya could finally walk,
and she started using a walker to walk.
She trained
to walk
every day.
As each day went by,
her legs became stronger
and more able to walk,
and at last
She could walk on her own
with the help of a walker.
On Day 126
Maya was allowed to go home.
Kis was five months old.
Maya spent ten weeks in the ICU
and nine weeks in the ward,
where she had to learn again
how to comb her hair,
brush her teeth,
eat, write,
and walk.
Are you okay?
Babah.
Do you remember?
A long time ago,
you and I had a fight.
Which fight?
I lied to you.
I didn't attend the piano class.
You're deaf
Because of me.
Yes.
But you've never even once
been mad at me.
Why?
I was also to blame.
I didn't realize
that you had grown up.
I was being selfish,
and I'm sorry for that.
I want you to hear
my voice saying, "No one
Can replace you."
"You're my only Babah."
I miss
Having you listen
to me playing the piano.
I can hear but not with my ears.
I can feel it.
I want you
to play a song for me.
What song?
The one I loved.
Okay.
Peace be upon you.
And upon you be peace.
Darling.
Sorry.
- Kis.
- Kis.
Kis.
If I have the chance, I'll greet
-That sweet smile of yours
-Wait, Babah. I'm tired.
If I have the chance, I'll adorn
Your life with the love I've sworn
It's all right
I believe
I will surely return to you
It's not as easy
As you think
Let me endure this torment
Waiting on the brink
Yay!
We've reached the top.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Such a show-off.
You need to take care
of your health.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Babah.
Your favourite watch.
Babah.
I know
You sacrificed
so many things for me.
You've been taking care of me.
You raised me well.
You did everything.
There's nothing
I can give
To pay you back.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I have you.
I have Mama.
One day, when I'm gone,
I'll rest in peace.
I love you.
I love Mama.
I wish this would stay forever.
Babah, don't cry.
- Really?
- Yes.
I wish this moment
would stay forever, Babah.
In light of the Movement Control Order
that has been in effect since yesterday
Everyone is advised
to stay at home at all times.
The police are committed
to monitoring the MCO to ensure
The army will assist the police
There have been some reports of civilians
The current state of the COVID-19 outbreak
has caused real concern
not only in Malaysia,
but everywhere around the world.
As of now
The doctor says
her oxygen levels are low.
She will be intubated.
This is our last hope.
Don't look sad in front of her.
Don't cry.
Hi.
Peace be upon you.
Darling, don't worry, okay?
Everything's gonna be just
Fine.
Maya.
Maya.
Babah's princess.
Always.
Wait for me.
Okay?
Why does God hide
what lies ahead?
Because He wants us to always
have good expectations
And strive to achieve the best.
I thought it was Maya
who was going to lose me.
But God
Has written the opposite in our destiny.
"However, I'm grateful."
"I got to see her grow up,
get married,
"and I got to take care of her
when she was sick."
"Maya."
"You will always be Babah's princess."
The end.
Kis, it's time to go.
Okay, Babah.
Princess.
- Thank you, Babah.
- Welcome, darling.
Mama!
No, no, no.
Ready?
Thank you, Babah.
Only the sound of your breath remains
As I strive to complete this song
Home, a place of shelter
Until time makes us frail
Just you and me
I yield you to the call of the eternal
Though the pain is tearing me apart
Like grasping burning embers
Till I can barely bear it
I yield you to the call of the eternal
This is God's secret
The future is written
Can we shape our precious moments?
When doubt begins to creep in
Of what destiny holds for me
The burden grows heavier
As daylight breaks
I yield you to the call of the eternal
Though the pain is tearing me apart
Like grasping burning embers
Till I can barely bear it
I yield you to the call of the eternal
This is God's secret
The future is written
Can we shape our precious moments?
When doubt begins to creep in
Of what destiny holds for me
The burden grows heavier
As daylight breaks
