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...
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? Lin.
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 first novel, Dusk and Me, has been reprinted many times.
It's a nice book.
Is everything alright?
Yes, boss.
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... likes 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.
Tomorrow night there is a discussion of my newest novel at Apresiasi Gallery.
Interested to come?
Well... up to you...
It's OK, Ma'am... let me do it...
Hey... don't you ever dare... - I can do it, Ma'am.
Dewi... - I can do it, Ma'am.
You are pregnant...
Anything I can help?
Let me...
Here.
Finished.
Thank you.
Is Hengki in?
Hengki?
Hengki... the one who fixes clocks... my wristwatch is broken.
Oh... this is no longer a place to repair clock, it's a restaurant.
OK... thanks...
Thank you.
Sir...
Do you want to stop by? Have some drink or meal perhaps.
Please come in.
So Pak Nugroho is a teacher?
I teach Indonesian.
Indonesian.
I used to think...
What is Indonesian lesson at school for...
Until now I still also like to ask to my grandchild...
whether there is still Indonesian lesson in his school?
Then what did your grandchild say?
Yeah of course grandma... Please...
From his answer...
We realize that he needs to be taught correct and good Indonesian.
Yes... yes...
The chicken soto is very delicious...
Thank you.
Stop by here often Mr. Guru you can teach me Indonesian as well.
Do you think you still need it?
Yeah of course teacher Please.
Dewi is your daughter?
Oh... no, she's my adopted daughter.
I just have a child only.
And she lives in city with her husband.
Your husband? - He was past away.
Someday I will stop by again after school hour.
I'll be waiting, sir.
Buy stronger string...
not plastic one... easy to be broken again.
Yes... later I will buy...
Thank you Mbak (Sis)...
I am the one supposed to thank you.
He is handsome right, Ma'am?
Hey... What do you mean?
Dewi only asks... according to you, is he handsome or not?
One thing he's smart.
Come on go inside - Yes... yes.
You haven't eaten, right?
Where do you live?
The only thing having been cooked... eat first...
I am finishing the kitchen business.
Eat.
What's your name?
Lin... you?
Rama.
Where exactly are you from?
From Sukabumi.
Then?
I am looking for my friend in Jakarta.
When I came to his office, the security said he's no longer working there.
So I'd like to make pamphlets to find him.
Want to print handouts?
Then where are you going to put them?
Wherever.
Jakarta is big.
I know.
Who will go to glue them?
I will.
Alone?
I'm used to doing everything alone.
When my in-law asked, why did you keep quiet?
She is your in-law?
Her face is rude.
If you printed many, you can get cheaper fee.
What if... it's handwritten?
Meaning?
Using ordinary paper, handwritten and photocopied.
Then why are you corning here?
I don't have money.
The money is only enough for photocopy?
I don't have any money at all.
Last money I had was used up for the fare.
Want to print, Ma'am?
Yes.
OK... you take care of it.
I want purple colour.
Purple colour and...
please write the name Heri, Heri Santoso.
Last Sunday I told you...
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 Icha.
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 Icha'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)?
Not going home yet?
Where to? - What?
That's why I was so persistent to use the printing office number...
for the people wanting to contact.
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.
OK, then...
Tomorrow I'll help you stick the handouts.
Thank you.
Then?
Now we can go home.
We?
Then what are you going to do while waiting for the news.
What? Mas?
What are you going to do while waiting for the news.
I'll find a job.
You can sleep in the room.
No, I'm outside.
I am here.
You are going to sleep here... where?
There is a spare mattress.
That's why... a mattress isn't it? I'll sleep here using the mattress.
Are you married yet?
Not yet.
The bathroom is at the back. I'll take the mattress from the room.
Mas Rama...
Thank you very much.
Good night.
Have someone phoned yet?
Come on... Handouts are only glued for a few minutes.
Be careful.
Yes, right, sir.
Yes sir... can be taken today. - Who?
Yes, sir. - Who, mas?
Client.
Yes... hello? Yes, please hold on.
Ma, your phone, ma...
Halo... yes, correct...
Yes... you may... I'll wait this afternoon?
Yes, thank you sir.
Who is it?
Paper worker.
Take it easy, will you? Miss the shelter?
Yes. My friend was waiting there.
Just get off the next shelter.
That's exactly I'm going to do!
It's my friend, Bu...
Following the wrong person?
We don't know each other.
That's why I'm introducing myself. I'm Restu.
OK.
Mbak (Older sis)... Adik (Lil' sis)... Kisanak (brother)... Adinda
How do you know my name?
What? Your name is Adinda? Or Kisanak?
So am I forgiven?
Ah... Dinda... please...
Let's have something.
So you're teaching at a special school?
You like children then?
My parents said that I'm still like a kid.
I can see that.
Great! You can read people's mind?
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 know 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.
Pak Guru (teacher)
I have bought string for the front banner.
I already gave Dewi her leave...
soon she will deliver the baby.
Sir?
Is Hengki around? I want to repair my wrist watch.
Eat first sir.
Has Hengki moved long enough from here?
Please sir.
This Soto is very delicious... My son Amir has to try.
He likes to eat soto very much. Especially if my wife cooking.
Do you have a child?
Yes... one...
He is a taxi driver... since my wife died,
there are only two of us.
Bring your child here.
By the way... I am a SD (primary school) teacher.
I teach Indonesian...
Thanks.
This is Amir, my son.
This is Lestari.
Your father told me a lot about you he said you are a fan of chicken soto.
Dad... let's go home.
Thanks again.
How do you know Pak Guru (teacher) here?
All night long he told me a story about this place last night.
Meaning that he remembers he's been here...
When he came here this afternoon he seems forget he's been here.
Have you ever heard alzheimer disease, Ma'am?
I just heard that when doctor told me father suffers from it.
A disease attacking the brain.
Sometimes he remembers everything...
sometimes he forgets at all.
Since when?
Since my father died.
My name is Arief. Amir is my father.
He is also a taxi driver.
The one who likes to eat chicken soto is my father.
Pak Guru...
is my grandfather.
Amir... Let's go home.
The only thing he never remembers.
I am Arief... not Amir.
I have to go, ma'am. Thanks.
Icha look... isn't that nice? For Mommy.
What?
Is that better? Really?
Icha... here look at this...
Icha... why did you leave Papa??
Dolphine!
Thank you Bu Tari... sorry to bother you to bring them here.
Oh It's OK Mbak... When will the celebration begin?
At 11 AM.
Thank you again Bu Tari. - You're welcome, mbak.
Hi, Teacher - Good morning.
I'm going to school, I have class.
Teacher, come on here.
Students are waiting for me. - Just a moment.
Just a moment, just one game only.
Sir... it's okay.
So fast?
Sir fell asleep just now.
Nice?
Is Hengki around?
The clock repairman sir? - Yes.
He has moved.
But I can help you repair the watch.
Tomorrow you can take the watch here.
Now how about if you eat first?
I guarantee you will like the chicken soto.
Come on.
Mas! Here!
Sis?
Sir?
All this your trick?
There are no girls who can make me fall in love...
until I meet you.
Come on.
Don't you get it?
Are you willing to be my girlfriend?
Not me.
I... am not the one.
But... I promise I won't act unconcernedly to you or hurt you.
You're talking to the wrong person.
Mbak Tere?
Awin?
Here are my friends, let me introduce them to you.
This is Arya.
This is Ananta.
Oh, this is Serena.
Are you... having a meeting?
No... We're just having a chat.
Have you ever fallen in love?
Who in this world doesn't want to have a lover, In.
I also want to love and be loved.
Maybe because I am cursed,
destined only to love not to be loved.
If we fall in love,
eat more easily,
sleep better,
wants to smile all the time,
Walks like flying not stepping on the ground.
Like flying... floating...
Ten... eleven years ago when I was in SMA (Senior High School),
My father got sick... before dying he wished to see Rio got married
Rio had never known any woman at that moment.
Busy doing his job...
The only woman he knew was...
my girlfriend.
He proposed my girl friend.
Ayu never finished her SMA.
She married Rio.
Until now...
Mas Rama still in love with Mbak Ayu?
I went out of the house. I can't stand it.
But then I remain go back to the printing office. Bringing all my stupidity.
Stupidity?
Every morning, I always put down my bag above, changes my shirt above,
for the sake of seeing her face...
isn't that stupid?
I'm afraid both of us have been fooled by love.
Win?
Let's have a drink first.
Water? Coffee Tea?
Coffee.
Tere.
Tere Wijaya...
How are you?
Coffee?
Win?
This afternoon you were different. Seemed quieter during Arya's book launching.
Why, Win?
That is not my place.
One day if you became a writer, you would be part of them,
I just want you to start feeling the environment.
Aren't you afraid that I will use your big name?
Too much fear is dangerous.
As dangerous as too much hope.
I've got to go home.
Up to you.
Are you sure this building is the one we must see?
Where is our client?
He said he'll be waiting inside...
Hello?
Excuse me...
Let's just go home.
Sure? - Sure.
Formerly...
this is the place of our first date...
you forgot?
You also forgot... you're still my wife!
Mir...
You better go home first.
Mir... - Please.
Papa!
Papaaaa!!!
Mas.
Heri called?
I see... OK... want to eat?
Over here.
Hungry?
What are you going to eat?
Chicken Soto OK?
Heri?
This is lin... she... is my friend from Sukabumi.
Hello?
A friend?
Are you crazy or what?
Where are you going jerk!!!!
Heri!
That is Heri!
Darling - Mama!
Ma' am...
At dawn I found Icha was sleeping on the floor in front of Pak Gilang's room.
I want to take Icha go.
Now?
Soon.
You still dare to go home.
I don't how to explain this to you.
Do you love him?
I... don't know.
I don't know either.
You don't love Icha?
Please don't bring her into our problem.
Actually what is our problem, Mir?
We have made a mistake forcing us to get married.
I come into a totally new world without anybody.
Without parents to teach me...
I am like entering a dream world.
Make me walk awkwardly every day.
Even on the first day I woke up as your wife,
I no longer recognize myself, Gilang.
I need some time far myself first.
Together with that man?
I... I will bring Icha.
No! You can't do that!
You get out of here without Icha!!
Out!
Eat, In.
In!
This man is not yours!
No use to think of a person who never thinks of us.
Do I have to listen to you, Mas?
Apply it to yourself, then you can give me advice!
Why did you receive Mas Rio's proposal just like that?
I only wish to get married and have children.
Mas Rio promises that.
Does he also give you love?
I only want to get married and have children.
My mother said, we do not need love to realize that.
Love will come automatically.
Has the love come already?
My mother is only a human. She could also be wrong.
Tell your mother, everyone needs love,
even stupid people like me...
Win, lunch?
Yes Awin's speaking...
Pardon me, where did you get my numbers from?
Tere, can we have a moment?
Why, Win?
I never asked you to get me publishers.
I just want to help you by opening the way.
What way, Tere?
I like to write. I want to be a writer.
But when and how I want to sell my piece, that's my business!
I really want to help you... Hope it's not too much.
What? Not too much Tere?
Suddenly there is a publisher offering me to publish my writing.
The writing which they have even never read,
only because they trust your recommendation?
But your writing is good.
It's not the point!!!
Who is actually too much here?
Did you know...
after all this time if I ever give more attention to someone...
and he doesn't like it. He will show the rejection clearly,
not just take it right away and not pretending happy with my attention.
If you don't want me to enter this far, Win.
From the very beginning never open your door for me.
So... are you willing to be my lover?
I just want to say thank you.
For?
For getting into my life.
Come on... What is this? Din...
I want to be the part of your life forever.
You are my only girlfriend now.
Everything you saw on me was fake,
Din, you...
Are you still in love with me?
I've told you from the very beginning,
you've got the wrong person.
Teacher.
Don't worry, teacher...
I am afraid... - Don't worry, teacher.
Teacher, look at me.
Look at me - Where... am... I?
Don't worry, teacher... look at me.
Look at me, teacher, look at me...
Don't worry teacher... Come on I'll take you, teacher.
Mommy?
It's lin... wants to go home Mommy.
So lin is your relative?
She is only fatigue and very stressful... needs a rest.
And she is 2-month pregnant... fortunately her pregnancy is OK.
Mommy!
Hey, darling!
What is this?
If there is a problem and something needs to be sacrificed,
hopefully it's not Icha.
This is tortoise.
Icha... Icha...
Icha... you want sit in front with papa?
Mama!
Icha... Icha...
Go with mommy.
Icha needs her mother too.
Pappaa!!
Everything is too fast, boss. In fact, I'm not ready yet.
Not ready to be a writer or to have someone who cares about you?
Nobody cares about me all this time.
Nobody in the family even knows I like writing.
I care about you.
I know you like to write. You're OK.
That's the thing.
I'm comfortable with my present life.
Book store, boss... that's enough.
Don't you want to move forward?
If I move forward and I find out I don't like it, I'm afraid I can't go back.
So the biggest problem is in you... not Tere.
Your fear has beaten your true feeling for her.
You're afraid of new things...
One of them is feeling special by someone,
Because since you're a kid nobody treat you...
like Tere treats you now.
I'm off.
Arief...
What happened?
I will put my grandfather to an elderly house.
My lover has asked me to marry her.
If we get married it would be...
difficult if grandpa...
That's the only thing I wanted to tell you.
We are too old to make the same mistake... Isn't that right, Ter?
What is it?
We are already old... our eyes are getting blurred...
better find real things to be seen held.
Hi...
What happens?
I... want to talk about something.
What?
Shoot.
I was not ready with the change you bring to my life...
but now I'm ready.
Ready for what?
Open my heart.
You mean...
I love you, Tere.
You don't have to respond now.
Win...
I love you too Awin.
It's good you gave response directly.
Otherwise my surprise will be useless waiting outside.
Surprise?
What surprise?
I'm ready to leave, Mas.
I'm leaving Mas.
I am sorry.
I...
I care about Mas Rama.
If only mas Rama asked me to stay, I will...
We can start a new life together...
lin!
Mas Rama?
Where are you going?
Going home!
Your house is there.
Don't surrender In...
Because we'll never know what is going on tomorrow...
if we choose to stop today, right?
Where are you going, Dad?
Can't you stay at home today?
Teacher wants to stroll with me.
Teacher's watch has been fixed.
Here.
Yes... it's OK now.
May Teacher stroll with me?
Come on sir.
Come on.
I am going, Arief.
Ma' am...
I heard, Arief.
He remembers your name.
Good morning.
Teacher, you want play?
Just continue...
Teacher, good morning.
While she was in her third grade, she was told that she suffered from breast cancer.
Her breasts were operated but the cancer spread already.
He went through torturing chemotherapy process.
She lost her hair, all-the time dehydration,
and extreme pain.
Din...
If you really have to go,
I'm ready.
Before you go,
You should know...
that from the beginning...
I know I made the right choice. You're the best thing for me.
Forever and ever.
I found this inside Dinda's bag.
I'm sure it's for you.
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're getting older,
we will realize that among those memories,
there is one biggest feeling...
love.
When the stories one by one stop and become memories,
love keeps moving along with the hopes following.
Love which is unseen, untouchable...
is there for us even since we have not been able to pronounce it...
Only me who can fix it...
Gilang.
A true love, a love which we think has gone,
is only hiding, waiting to come back.
Just as I always say, if the tie looses
Only me who can fix it...
The End
