Just as I always say, if the tie looses
Only me who can fix it...
You!
Don't!
What do we remember from the memories?
The names of places, games, friends,
Or events are things possibly forgotten slowly...
but not with feelings...
The feeling of happiness... the feeling of sadness...
will be brought safely along our journey in life.
And as we get older,
we will realize that among those memories...
there is one biggest feeling...
that is love.
Morning Teacher... -Morning.
Morning Teacher... -Morning. How are you doing?
Fine, teacher.
Madam.
Hey... Why on earth are you running?
Remember your pregnancy, you may deliver in the middle of the streets.
Icha...Icha...

Here, kiss Mommy...
Mommy is going...
Oh, darling.
Thank you.
Darling?
You forgot something? -Yes?
Good afternoon...
I would like to meet Heri...Heri Santoso.
May I know who you are?
Me? Iin.
From what company, ma'am?
Me? Errr... Sukabumi...
Heri is no longer working here, Ma'am... He has moved.
Where did he move? -I don't know.
Thank you.
If you want to use that way, the place of the printing office is nearby.
Thank you, sir.
Hello? Yes, where are you sir?
How many thousand exactly are you going to order, sir?
If the amount is big enough, we really give discount.
Water... water...
Anything I can help, ma'am?
Isn't that better if New Arrival books are put close to the entrance?
Since the first time opened, the place is here,
In the middle because this spot is passed by the most visitors also.
Well... all visitors surely pass the entrance too, right?
But up to you... I only give suggestion.
Moreover ma'am,
If the books are really good, wherever they're put people will search,
For example this novel.
The author has been famous.
The firstnovel, Dusk and Me, has been reprinted many times.
It's a nice book.
Is everything alright?
Yes, bos.
Good Lord...
Mbak... Tere? -Tere.
Chandra... I am Chandra...
I am very glad Mbak Tere stops by.
This is Tere... Tere Wijaya...
Awin... Hellooow...
Do I look different with the one in the photo?
Can you put your signature in our wall of fame, mbak?
Sure.
Do we have one, boss?
We are going to make one. There is a white board in the warehouse isn't it?
Very good if attached by the entrance, to let everybody see...
isn't that right Mbak?
Up to you.
My attendant didn't make any problem Mbak?
Oh no... not at all...
He likes to write... Iikes to read, too.
Actually, his knowledge concerning the books and the authors is very good.
That's why I was surprised he didn't recognize Mbak Tere.
So, you like writing...
I only write for myself.
When you pretend not to know me was it also for yourself?
OK.

That it's not necessarily the whole world knows the things happened to your child,
But only to closest people.
Your parents, brothers and sisters and Mir.
They have to know and you have to teach them how to face lcha.
We can say that we are no longer get acquainted with our big family.
Since?
Since... we were married because Mir had been pregnant.
I got off the subject... sorry.
My business and parents are not part of this therapy, right?
But they're still essential parts from lcha's life.
There you are, Dad... I've been searching everywhere.
I had lunch in Lestari restaurant...
the chicken soto is super-duper.
Two mineral water, please.
Thirsty, neng (sis)?

I have no place in Jakarta yet.
So?
Just now I went around sticking these handouts then waited here.
Moreover, the cigarette seller told me that this stall opens 24 hours.

I'm still studying at a college.
I know you didn't ask, but I'd like to tell you a story. So, I study at...
Mey's character here is the eldest child from a big family...
who are busy with each other business,
But then she looks for attention from outside of her family...
What's the story you want before you're coming here?
Whatever.
Or you can tell me about your writing.
Pak Chandraa said, you like to write, right?
All people have skill of writing.
But it's not the time for me to sell my writing yet.
I'm agree with you.
OK Win, you kno what?
When I was started writing...
I think everything in this world is like a life.
For example?
The life is just like...
The life is like a bookstore.
From light readings until heavy ones are there,
But people mostly look for light books only.
Yeeeah... you are a writer.
Eat, mas.
How come it's dark?
Pak Chandra?
Boss?
Pak Chandra?
Surprise.
Happy birthday.
You and Pak Chandra did this, didn't you?
What did you cook for our dinner?
KFC Delivery...
You ordered KFC?
Nothing is perfect in this world.
This is for you.
So, what's the surprise next?
At least, tonight everything can be almost perfect can't it?
Who knows someone is phoning tomorrow. It's been only two days right?
It feels like one year already.
You haven't surrendered right?
We'll never know what is going on tomorrow if we stop today.
Mas, read on.
Here.
Too long.
I am a firefly.
In the darkness I fly, in the darkness I am bright.
And you, be a dusk.
Because of the darkness you exist,
because of the darkness you are beautiful.
I am only a firefly and you are only the dusk.
When it's dark we share.
When it's dark we are eternal.
