[bunniefuu]

-Good morning, Inul.

-Morning.

-What's that?

-This?

This is a herbal concoction

from my village.

I was told to drink this.

This contains curcuma,

wuluh star fruit, tamarind,

aromatic ginger, ginger, sambiloto,

bitter grape, Indian mulberry, honey

It's definitely bitter, yeah?

Yes. But this can keep

your body and soul fit.

Yeah, sure. Ah, Inul?

Is everything ready for the meeting

with Mr. Santoso?

Don't worry.

-Everything is set.

-Good.

-But don't be late, okay?

-Okay. Then I'd better get going now.

Drink this first.

-For me?

-Sure.

You should feel

every sip of it, bit by bit.

It'll make you strong!

You'll feel

strong!

I have to make Inul happy.

I've gotta make myself drink this.

This is good.

-Right?

-Thank you.

-Okay, I'll get going now!

-Okay.

Ari, why aren't you ready?

I'm having a bad stomachache.

I need to go to the toilet.

Why didn't you go earlier, for God's sake?

Okay, I'll just drive myself

to the office.

Now, go see Inul.

Ask her if her herbal concoction

can cure your stomachache. Okay?

Take care of your health.

You really care about me.

It's not about caring.

If you're unwell, then I have to

drive myself all the time, right?

All right, you come and join me later.

Take a motorbike taxi.

But I'd need money to take one.

I haven't received my monthly salary.

What if I run instead?

Running needs no money, right?

Splendid idea! Yes.

You just run, okay?

-See you later at the office.

-Seriously?

Okay, miss.

Next month, we plan to deliver

the furniture through Mr. Adam's partner.

Meanwhile, you can

take care of the ceiling.

The ceiling needs repairing,

so I think that will be your priority.

Take care of the ceiling.

Oh, one more thing.

The wall needs to be painted.

Remove all the photos up there

before you do that, okay?

-Yes ma'am.

-Okay.

Make a note of that.

Okay.

There you are, Inul.

-Dad?

-Hey, Inul yeah?

Excuse me, Dad.

Can you please step back a bit?

-Step back.

-Back?

-Oh my

-I did step back.

You stepped forward instead.

Your nose is all I see now.

Step back.

Here, like this, Dad.

Hey, sis! There's your dad!

I'm home now, I'm now home!

-How are you, Nul?

-Dad.

-I miss you. I love you.

-Dad.

-Where are you, Dad?

-We are in Jakarta!

-Step out of the house, sis.

-Okay, okay. I'll step out.

Oh my God. Dad and Reza? Here?

What should I do?

That's us.

-It's quite big, huh?

-Look here.

Hey, what's going on?

Hey, what's the matter with you?

-Dad!

-Hey!

Reza!

The door opens by itself

like in a haunted house.

-That's right.

-Oh, Dad.

This is an ordinary house.

Why have you guys suddenly come?

Don't be too excited

to see me and Reza here.

-Okay?

-Okay.

Ms. Inul, I see we have guests.

Let me guess.

You must be that Mr. Procedure, right?

-No, Dad!

-Who is he then?

-He's Mr. Protruding!

-It's "Producer".

-No, that's not it.

-What?

Scooter!

You're funny. Very funny.

Excuse me, I want to thank you.

Inul's childhood dream

can be realized now because of you.

Becoming a singer.

If she hadn't met you,

at best she would just be performing

in Independence Day carnivals.

On November 11th.

November 22nd.

-December 30th.

-Dad.

-Hang on, Dad. What's on those dates?

-You've forgotten, haven't you?

It's the birthday

of the village head's wife

and two of my wife's friends' birthdays.

Dad.

Those are someone else's wives' birthdays!

-Yes.

-Well, what can I say? I'm an idol.

You're welcome, sir.

I'm glad I can help your daughter

to realize her dream.

Hey, does he really need to embrace her?

-Goodness.

-It's fine.

This gentleman has made

Inul's dream come true.

Oh, I know!

You also must be

Inul's boyfriend now, right?

Isn't that great? This is her boyfriend.

-Oh, please don't make me blush.

-Ow!

-Ouch!

-Oh, he fell down!

You shouldn't just push him,

you should add some stomp as well.

-Why did you say that?

-It's a form of love.

-I'm still tired from my ten-hour trip.

-Yes, Dad.

I haven't gone to a toilet

for 12 hours straight.

Then come on in, Dad.

Oh my God, 12 hours?

-Let me help you, sir.

-Oh, no thanks!

I might lose my belongings. I can manage.

-Let's go.

-Balki, please help us here.

-Come on.

-Who is Balki?

Someone who guards the house.

-His name's too fancy for a guard.

-Here, let me carry that.

Just help with his stuff.

I can carry my own.

This is a really big and nice house, Nul.

Come on, work properly.

Straighten that up, it's still tilted.

Straighten it up. That's it.

You've got to do your work properly.

This is the house of a famous lawyer.

This is the house of?

I bet this is Inul's manager. Right, Nul?

Huh? Mana

Yes, yes! I'm the manager!

I guess the people here

love singing dangdut

while being rock singers as well.

-I only did that because my toe's broken!

-Amazing.

Thank you. You guys are kind.

You are always there to help, assist,

and set a schedule for Inul.

As a token of gratitude,

I have a little something for you.

I hope

Finally, money!

Money for a new pair of shoes!

Here, please accept this humble gift.

-These are fresh from my village.

-Right.

You mean from a tree!

Bummer.

This is a big house,

but why is it messy, Nul?

We have renovations going on here

at the moment.

-In that case

-Yes.

to make you always remember your daddy,

I want to give you a souvenir.

Okay?

Close your eyes, okay?

Close your eyes.

-This has to be money now!

-I bet it is!

-Yes, close your eyes.

-Close your eyes.

Nul, close your eyes too.

This is supposed to be a surprise.

You're unbelievable, Dad.

All right, I'll close my eyes.

Okay.

I bet you can't wait, yes?

One, two

One

Oh, getting excited now, huh?

-Come on, Dad.

-Okay.

I'll open it first.

Right? This will be pleasant.

I bet it's a wallet.

This is a picture of a younger me.

Okay, with money in it

Yes.

Now, open your eyes and say,

"I can't wait!"

One, two

-I'm excited.

-Yeah, I'm excited!

-No doubt. They do look excited!

-Yes.

The impatient look of big city folks.

One, two, three!

Oh my God!

Take that away!

What's the matter, Dodi?

Where's the money?

-What the heck is that picture?

-This is a reminder.

-Yes, Dad.

-So you can remember me.

Yes, I'll remember you.

-Hang this up, okay?

-Yes, sure.

Siti!

-"City" as in metropolitan area?

-No!

-Siti is a person's name.

-Oh, she's an assistant.

-Ti, please help

-She's got an assistant.

Impressive.

-Now, please have a rest, Dad.

-All right.

-Reza, will you accompany him?

-Yes, sure. Miss

Inul is so impressive, having such a

big house. Even though it's messy.

-Miss Inul.

-Yes?

What the heck is this?

What drama is this?

Why do we need to pretend like this?

I'm really sorry.

But please try to understand.

My father innocently believes

that I'm already

a successful singer in Jakarta.

He doesn't know

that I was scammed twice

or that I was saved by Mas Adam.

Anyway, I'll tell my dad the whole truth.

No, no!

No, don't tell him.

You don't have to tell him the truth.

We know exactly how you feel.

Right, Ari?

Oh, cut your amateurish English.

Now you sound ridiculous.

Hold on.

You reject "no" and you reject "yes."

What do you want then?

This is a nice and big house.

Everything looks big here.

Who lives in such big houses?

That looks awesome and this looks great.

Everything is just so fancy.

-Everything is stunning.

-Dad.

What are you doing here, Dad?

Why don't you just rest inside?

I couldn't sleep,

so I decided to take a walk.

But luckily,

I visited the Jakarta Fair earlier.

-Really?

-Yes.

You only just got here!

That's why I'm excited to stay here.

-Nice to know that.

-Hello. I'm Adam.

I'm Miss Inul's driver.

Nul, I can't believe this.

That man named

That guy named Ari

is supposed to be your driver.

This Adam here,

he's supposed to be your producer

and my son-in-law as well.

Oh, please, Dad.

But anyway, he looks exactly like

I used to back when I was in junior high.

I'm serious.

But we have different noses,

eyes, and lips.

Well, everything is different.

Please, Dad.

Of course you and him look different.

Huh?

Are you done talking?

-Yes, yes.

-Why don't you rest inside?

Inside? What's inside?

Inside where?

Inside the fridge.

Is it air-conditioned?

Fussy.

Mas Adam, when you come inside,

please give me a massage, okay?

Sure!

Sorry about my dad.

Really, I feel bad.

But thanks for acting out

your role in that drama.

Yeah. Ari told me everything

on the phone earlier.

Rest assured, you don't need to worry.

We'll do our best to help you.

Thank you.

Okay, you'd better go inside.

Ladies first.

Oh, please.

Way by the I mean by the way

How did you get to know Inul

in the first place? Tell me.

Oh, so I was able to get a job here

because I was offered a position

by my friend,

who is also a driver of a dangdut singer.

He said Miss Inul was looking for

a driver who could drive her around

between concerts in the city.

When I heard one of Miss Inul's songs,

I instantly became her fan.

So, I applied to be her driver.

Who's that, Daddy?

Why are you giving him a massage?

What is this?

Look, he's sleeping.

-Don't wake him, okay?

-Okay.

Okay, but why are you giving him a

massage? What are you doing?

-Nothing.

-Who is this?

So, you're lying?

I don't want to play along

with your lies, okay?

Please, listen.

I know, technically speaking,

that this is a lie.

But

You're right.

We shouldn't lie.

But just this once,

I request your cooperation.

Please, understand Inul's plight.

Don't you sympathize with her?

We don't want her father

to be disappointed.

So, please.

Just this once.

That's enough.

You've taken so many pictures.

While I'm here, I'm going to enjoy

your eccentric-looking house.

It's "aesthetic."

That's what I meant.

-Reza.

-Yes?

By the way, how long

are you going to stay here?

That's what I've been meaning

to discuss with you.

Oh?

Actually, I strongly disagree

with staying here.

Mr. Gono is taking care of the cows

back in the village.

Dad told him to.

-So?

-If we stay here too long,

like a few weeks or a few months,

Dad's going to go broke!

Mr. Gono wants 50,000 daily.

Can you believe that?

-He asks for that?

-Yes!

You know how Dad is, right?

Mr. Gono has nothing to do with the barn.

He's all about coffee and food every day.

-Thank God.

-"Thank God"?

-Yeah, thank God.

-For what?

For the fact that you will go home soon.

Well

You can't let Mr. Gono

keep going like that.

He'll be a millionaire

if this keeps going.

Right? Do the math.

50,000 per day will make him rich soon.

Then, when he becomes rich,

he'll be shocked and have a stroke.

You're right! He could have a stroke!

He's got a nasty diet too.

Rice with coconut milk

and just about anything he can eat.

All the more reason why

you need to go home soon.

To keep Dad from spending

more money on Mr. Gono.

He might actually get rich

because of that, you know.

The bathroom is just too far.

They should provide a taxi to get to

the bathroom and the dining room.

Nobody woke me up when I fell asleep.

So much food.

This

Am I supposed to eat all by myself?

This amount of food is enough

for two Eid feasts.

Well, there's nobody here, so

Ms. Inul is a liar.

Listen.

Please, speak slowly.

I can understand that, you know.

Just speak slowly.

Ms. Inul is a liar.

Oh, of course.

I understand that, that's why

I dropped my walking cane.

Okay, listen. I am Inul's father. I

-Wait. No, I mean, Miss Inul

-Hush!

Excuse me, sir. Please meet my daughter.

What's the need to pretend all this?

Pretending to be a famous singer,

successful with a fancy house

Then you played along,

pretending to be a producer.

Producer my foot!

My point is, I'm going to

expose all of this.

Don't do it, Maura. You know what?

I understand her.

It's because she wants to make

her family happy. Right, Ari?

So what? Will she do that by lying?

You keep saying "so."

You sound like a broken record.

My point is, she just wants to

make her family happy.

And because of what happened she

Hold on, I have to take this.

Oh, it's my baby.

Nosy old man.

Hello, babe. What? You're here?

Okay, hold on. I'll be right there.

Sorry, I was in a meeting.

With the ambassador of Zimbabwe.

Keep your face away!

Okay, I'm coming.

No wonder you understand her.

You're just the same.

What do you mean?

You're both liars.

Liar? You mean flier?

Plier?

-Whatever.

-Whatever.

You played along too.

Hi, Mr. Producer.

This pretty girl must be

your daughter, right?

You're so pretty.

Luckily, you can't grow a mustache.

Just kidding.

I love to throw jokes around.

Back in my village,

I'm their top comedian.

Whoa!

And he is on the jury.

Playing snooker?

Can you play snooker?

Hey, I always play snooker when I wake up.

Yes.

I'll tell you what.

Let's make this more interesting.

We're going to make a bet.

If you win,

I'll give whatever you ask for.

I'm Inul's younger brother, you know.

9-ball game.

That all you got?

Well, you didn't give me a turn.

You're really great.

So, since I won,

you have to keep your word.

Oh, sure.

I'm a real gentleman

I'm Inul's brother,

Indonesian's top singer

who will go international soon,

and I will grant your wish.

iPhone. Laptop. Sunflower seeds.

What else? Candies?

Okay! That's easy!

What is she saying?

I'm so sorry, Mas Adam.

I still don't have the heart

to tell my dad the truth

regarding my situation.

And I've noticed that Maura looks like

she's not comfortable

with this situation.

So

I'm torn

about what I should do.

Yeah.

It's all right, Inul.

I can understand your situation.

Besides, your dad and brother

are only staying here temporarily.

Yes, true.

So, just till they go,

we'll keep this charade going.

But

one day,

you will have to tell him the truth.

Because they deserve to know

what actually happened.

Yes.

But for now

you just smile.

Make your father happy.

Whoa!

-Cool!

-Thank you.

Please, go ahead.

-These are special dishes, you know.

-Huh?

Specially ordered for

Wait, why do you say "special"?

What's so special?

We got rawon in my village.

We got chickens in my village.

That dish over there,

we got it as well in my village.

-So, what's so special about this?

-Dad.

He means that these were ordered

especially for you, Dad.

Oh, I'm deeply touched now. Thank you.

Okay, come on, let's start.

Hey, mind your manners.

We are the guests.

We're not supposed to start first.

You're unbelievable.

Sorry. It's just that no one else

was starting, Dad.

They were just being polite, I guess.

Oh my God, it's not every time we have

a lavish dinner when we have guests.

Normally, we only have rice and salt.

Please.

-Is rice and salt tasty?

-Tasteless.

-Ari, pass the chicken to Mas Adam.

-Sure.

A moment, please.

I'd like to ask something.

-Here.

-Thank you.

Why is the driver given

the first priority here?

What's wrong with you, Nul?

Dad, this is one of your teachings.

We have to be respectful to others.

Right.

I know, you're a very hospitable person.

You don't discriminate

based on people's positions.

This is an example of that right here.

The driver and his daughter are invited

to have dinner with you.

What was your name again?

Ruama? Muara?

-Aroma.

-No, not that!

You're such a clown.

Okay! We need to clear

some things up here.

Especially for Miss Inul's

father and brother.

First.

Ms. Inul only works here

as my dad's personal assistant.

Second.

This house belongs to my dad,

not Ms. Inul.

-Maura, shh!

-Third.

Ms. Inul is not yet a famous singer.

Uh, Maura

And the last thing!

We're all just acting here

to make Ms. Inul seem like

she's a famous singer.

Please excuse me, sir.

So

he's not a driver.

And you're not a bulldozer either.

And you're not a manager either?

No, sir. I'm not a manager.

I'm just an ordinary person.

Oh, Nul.

You straight up lied to your dad, Nul.

You make me ashamed, Nul.

I'm really sorry, Dad.

I never intended to lie to you, Dad.

I just wanted

to make you proud of me.

This is not how you make me proud.

You have utterly disappointed me.

How could you?

Be strong, Dad.

-Be strong.

-Be strong?

What do you know about being strong?

What do you know?

Princess, what is wrong with you?

I asked you to cooperate.

I asked you to help Ms. Inul.

And Ms. Inul's family should know

that you're the boss here.

You're not wrong.

You have principles

and they're justified.

But please try to picture yourself

in Ms. Inul's father's position.

He has high hopes for his daughter to be

a very popular dangdut singer,

just like I have high hopes that one day,

my daughter will be a very successful

woman in whatever she does.

Isn't it?

Besides, you do remember

that Ms. Inul has helped us

a lot too, right?

Wouldn't it be nice if just this once,

we returned the favor

and did something good for her?

Even though I know it's a bit flawed,

I'm sure

you have a heart as big as your mommy's.

Now do you regret pranking an old man?

We're sorry.

Actually, we never intended to do it.

It's just

Just what?

I mean, it was your assumption.

You assumed Ari was the producer

and I was the manager.

But we never said we were. Right, Ari?

Actually, Ms. Inul wanted to tell you

but Maura did it first.

Yes.

So, please forgive us, sir.

Forgive me too, please.

Okay, I forgive you both.

That's more like it.

That means you're not

going home now, right?

Regardless of this issue,

I still have to go back home.

We have an election

for the neighborhood chief coming up.

So, we're not causing you

to go home, right?

-The election is the cause.

-Yes.

You talk too much.

-Now, get out of my way.

-Right.

Hey, I want to leave!

Don't stand in my way!

Step aside!

You

Move aside!

Goodness!

-Hurry up, carry my stuff!

-Yes, sir. Here.

Excuse me, sir.

Why did you take that pillow?

Just take the whole bed, why don't you?

You're a real pain in the neck.

Dad?

Dad?

My dad has gone home.

He left this letter.

Ms. Inul.

I'm sorry.

I've forgiven you already.

Then I'm going to ask you

to get ready for the next few days.

Get ready? For what?

As a token of my apology,

I have found an audition

that's taking place for dangdut singers.

-And

-And?

I've put your name down for it.

So you can get your audition.

Thank you.

You need to be ready

and put your all into it.

I'm excited for sure.

Thank you.

-Anytime.

-Thank you, Mas.
