[muezzin] Prayer is…
[Amer] Who's the imam today? Me or you?
[indistinct chatter]
…better than sleep.
[upbeat disco music]
[Amer praying in Arabic] "Our Lord, grant us Your mercy
and prepare for us for our affairs the right guidance."
God is the greatest.
[crowd] God is the greatest.
[upbeat disco music]
-[entrancing music echoing] -[heavy breathing]
Peace be upon you.
Amen.
[indistinct prayer]
[glass shattering]
Eat up.
Cheers. One, two, three.
[Abi chuckling]
It's all gone! More!
Let's open some more.
Oh no! It's empty!
-[both laughing] -It's empty!
How is it empty?

-Zir! -[man] Nurse!
Wait here, please.
[machine whirring, beeping]
[flatline beeps]
[somber music continues]
[sighs]
I thought I'd be dead.
Too bad you're not.
But come to think of it, you're better off dead.
We'd be sad, crying for about two weeks.
But then we'd move on.
But this?
You're still alive
and will remain a burden to the family.
What do you want, Zir?
I can't believe kids these days.
Mental health breaks for this, mental health breaks for that.
As if they're the only ones with problems.
Listen! When life gives you challenges,
stand tall!
Confront them!
Quit being so spoiled!
I'm sorry, sis.
-[calm acoustic guitar music] -[Bella sighs]
[car door closes]
Ready?
[Bella] Yeah, let's go. In the name of God.
[Bella] Mom came over from Banten last night.
[Bella] She's at my place now waiting for you.
[Umi] Zira!
-Thank God, Zir. -Peace be upon you.
And upon you peace, Zira.
[sobbing]
I can't believe those guys that abducted you.
Abducted me?
Yes! Bella told me everything.
She said that a syndicate abducted you
to employ you as an illegal migrant worker abroad.
-Mom. -People these days are so scary!
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
[Umi sobbing]
[somber music]
Dad.
[Abi] A woman is highly regarded
when she upholds her chastity
until marriage.
The daughter's deeds will serve
as a passage to heaven for her parents.
[sniffling]
[phone vibrating]
17 MISSED CALLS
Mom.
What's on your mind?
Zira is home, Mom.
Why aren't you eating?
Yeah.
How about a riddle?
Which celebrity loves to ride motorcycles?
Who? Come on.
Titiek Vespa.
[laughing]
Vespa, Mom. Do you get it?
[Herman chuckles]
[uplifting music]
Zira?
[Herman] You look good.
My goodness.
[exhales]
My daughter looks so beautiful.
I have some Wonosobo durian. Do you want some?
Herman. Give us a hand.
In finishing this?
With the durian.
All right.
[chuckles] My goodness.
Celebrating Zira wearing a hijab with Wonosobo durian, gotcha.
[Umi] Wait.
All of them?
Yeah, they're over there.
A simple makeover is as easy as it gets.
[sighs]
Are you sure about this?
I'm serious.
Please guide me, Bella.
But you must be ready to do everything I say.
Can you?
It's fine if you can't.
I can.
[calm uplifting music]
[phone vibrating]
[Bella] The first step of hijrah.
Sincere repentance.
Let go of your past and separate yourself from friends who have a bad influence.
TOXIC FRIENDS
[buzzer sound]
The second step of hijrah.
Join the regular Quran study group at the mosque.
I'll try.
You can't hijrah half-heartedly.
You should read the Quran frequently for a perfect hijrah.
-Come on! -[dings]
READ THE QURAN
[Bella] The third step of hijrah.
Find a good friend.
Zira!
-Intan? -Hi!
Hi!
-Wait, you-- -My gosh!
-How are you? -I'm good.
I didn't expect to see you here.
[chuckles]
Make friends with others who are in the process of hijrah.
[dings]
-Are you by yourself? -Yeah.
-Peace be upon you. -You're here with your sister?
Zir.
Yeah?
Bella called me. I heard you're starting hijrah?
God willing, Tan.
I'll do my best. Pray for me.
That's good.
So, you've stopped hanging out with…
Niki?
I haven't met her since I was discharged from the hospital.
I see. Good for you.
[chuckles]
What about you?
Are you all set?
Well…
-I wear a hijab on and off. -[chuckles]
-I'm not quite resolute yet. -It's okay.
[chuckles] It's a process. An ongoing process.
[shushing]
[whispers] The ustad is here.
Would you like to know which group will be deprived of the scent of heaven?
[crowd] Yes.
-Would you like to know? -[crowd] Yes.
One of them is women who expose their awrah.
[quirky music]
Hair is part of their awrah.
So, cover your hair.
Don't you want to smell heaven?
-[crowd] Yes. -Don't you?
QURAN STUDY?
We seek refuge with God.
What's wrong with that ustad?
I've only just started, and he's already sentenced me to hell.
[Intan] Yeah. I'm too scared to go to another study.
Calm down. Next time, I'll take you to a more beginner course. [grunts]
I don't want to join the Quran study group anymore.
[grunts]
Ouch!
[sighs]
The study was a failure.
She really needs the Quran study group.
[clicks tongue]
It just wasn't the right topic.
[Herman] Don't you know any Quran study groups with a lot of youngsters?
LET'S HIJRAH TOGETHER
Yes! This is it!
[Amer] The wise believer is the one
that can make this short, fleeting life, into a long one.
[tender acoustic guitar music]
Life is not for living.
Life is for The Ever-Living.
Who is The Ever-Living?
God!
Who is The Ever-Living?
God!
Therefore, we should not fear death,
but long for it.
Death is not the end of everything,
but the beginning of real life.
[Zira] Bella.
-[sermon continues indistinctly] -Is that Ustad Arifin Ilham's son?
May we all reunite in heaven.
-Amen? -[crowd] Amen.
Zir. I think I can listen to this one.
QURAN STUDY
-Me too. -[dings]
[woman] Ustad.
[Bella] Zir, are you going straight home?
[Zira] Yeah.
Okay. I need to go to the bathroom real quick.
I'll see you in the parking lot.
-[Zira] Should we wait for you? -[man's voice] Mer!
Zira!
Abun?
-You know her? -Yeah.
From where?
She's an old friend.
Is that Abun the celebrity?
Yeah, he's an old friend. Come on.
Peace be upon you!
-And upon you peace. -And upon you peace.
-How are you, Abun? -I'm good.
Why are you here?
I've been helping a friend here for some time.
Peace be upon you.
And upon you peace.
Hello, I'm--
Amer Azzikra. I know you.
And I'm--
Nadzira Shafa.
How'd you know?
I followed you on Instagram. You didn't follow me back, though.
Really?
Yeah.
I followed your Instagram too. You didn't follow back.
-Pardon? -Well, anyway!
She's my friend, Intan.
Okay. I'm Abun.
Intan.
-Verified people sure are arrogant. -[shushing]
-[chuckles] -I have too many notifications.
-See? -Not like that. It's just how it is.
I'll follow you back.
-Thank you. -I'll DM you too.
-Why would you DM her? -All right, fine.

Oh dear, my daughter is a changed person now.
She wants to help her mom cook.
-[Umi chuckles] -God willing, Mom.
I'm so glad.
Don't forget to add scallions and peppers, but not too much.
Just enough to bring out the delicious aroma.
Into the flour?
Yeah.
Good morning.
-Morning. -Hello.
-[Umi] Cut this one first. -Zira.
I have another riddle.
Which celebrity likes gasoline?
Come on.
-[sighs] I don't know. -The answer is…
Vin Diesel!
[laughing]
Not Vin Pertalite, not solar!
[coughing]
Well-deserved.
That's what you get for that. A coughing fit.
God forgive me.
That's why we should leave now, Mom.
So we're not bombarded by more bad riddles.
Can you do this on your own?
Yes, I can.
-Are you sure? -Yeah!
All right. I'm going out with Bella.
-Okay. -[Bella] I'll give it a taste later.
-Peace be upon you. -Let's go.
And upon you peace.
-Take care. -Yeah.
-You take care. -Yeah.
-Do you have everything? -Yeah.
[knocking on door]
Are you avoiding me?
What are you doing, joining a Quran study group?
Did you hit your head or something?
Huh?
Answer me!
Niki, cut it out.
And what the hell is this?
Why wear a headscarf? What's gotten into you?
You're delusional.

Um… Mer, go ahead.
Uhm…
Zira.
May I have your mom's phone number?
Sure.
[tender piano music]
What for?
Just to keep in touch.
May I?
Yeah.
-Done? -Yeah.
Thanks.
Not gonna ask for hers as well?
-This is enough. -Are you sure?
Weren't you going to ask for Intan's number?
What? No!
Don't lie. You said so when you saw her.
-Shush! -I don't mind.
Here you go.
-[soft chuckles] -[quirky music]
-[Abun clears throat] -You're shaking.
I'm not.
Here.
-You can call me. -Thank you.
I mean, a missed call is fine. Just so I know it's your number.
You're not going to talk to her?
Maybe you and Zira would like to chat.
We've been chatting regularly via DM.
It's my turn… I mean, just message me.
Okay.
[tender music]
[Umi] Sit here, Zira.
What's wrong, Mom?
Listen.
Amer, Ustad Arifin Ilham's son called me.
He told me
that he'd like to get to know you better through ta'aruf.
Honestly, I don't know what to say.
I think you're still too young to get married.
Especially after that incident--
-[shushing] -What incident?
You know, when I got abducted.
Yeah, that incident, Mom.
Oh.
However,
on the other hand…
[sniffles]
I'd be so happy…
if you could find your imam.
This is Amer we're talking about.
I'm sure he's a pious young man.
God willing, he can guide you to be better.
[sniffling] Don't you think so?
I say yes.
Zira.
I'll let you make the choice.
[tender music intensifies]
Herman, please place this over there.
Mom, will this be enough?
I think it'll be fine.
We've prepared warm drinks.
Put that one over there.
-Honey! Where are the cold drinks? -[car horn blaring]
-They're here! Come on! -Really?
[uplifting music]
-Peace be upon you. -And upon you peace.
And upon you peace.
Oh my God, thank you.
-Thank you so much. -You're welcome.
-How are you? -I'm fine, God be praised.
-Thank goodness. -How was traffic?
-How are you, Umi? -I'm good.
Hello, Amer.
Umi and Bella.
I am Alvin Faiz, Amer's big brother.
On behalf of our father who has passed away,
I have come here with my mother and Amer, of course.
Praise be to God. Thank you so much, Ustad Alvin, Umi, and Ustad Amer,
for coming to our humble home.
I'm Herman.
Since the ustads are here,
allow me to share a little
-da'wah poem. -[Bella whines]
You could use it as a reference.
[all chuckles]
Taste the apple pie
before the doomsday.
Before you die,
you better pray.
[Herman] Yes, yes, yes.
[all laughing]
How about we go inside? It's hot out here.
-Please, come inside. -[Herman laughing]
-Come on in. -Come on, Amer.
Don't be so stiff. Relax a bit.
[Herman] Are you nervous, Amer?
-[chuckles awkwardly] -Come in.
-My goodness. -Don't be nervous, come in.
Zira, you're so beautiful.
You're beautiful too, Umi.
[somber music]
Zira.
I hope…
you'll become my daughter.
Okay?
I'd like to, Umi.
Zira has always been the closest to Bella ever since she was little.
Our family finally got to meet.
They seem to be getting along well.
Do you now realize that I want to marry you?
You want to marry me even though you don't know much about me?
That's true.
But we can get to know each other better
after the ijab qabul.
We can date
after we're lawful.
[yawns]
[Bella] Zir.
Are you really getting married at dawn?

My little sister has grown up.
She's about to become a wife.

-Askar. -Askar!
-Oh no! Not the name! -Goodness.

Marriage certificate.
But you should wear the rings in the picture!
But the first picture is the certificate!
Zira, how about you kiss your husband's hand for now?
Umi, pardon me.
Zira has been wanting a forehead kiss since the night before.
-Really? -Not now.

Do you know where our house is?
I'll take you there.
Sure, but just a moment. My legs are kind of sore.
[chuckles] You must be tired.
You've been standing up all day.
All right. You don't have to walk.
What do you mean?
[tender music]
Are you feeling okay?
[softly] Yeah.
Zira.
Are you okay with calling each other "darling" and "honey"?
I like it, darling.
Okay.
[Amer] I told you it's not far from the boarding school.
[Zira] Yeah, but I'm sure you're tired.
No, honey.
This is it.
Our room is over here.
I'll put you down on the bed.

Amen.
Peace be upon you, Ustad.
And upon you peace.
[Amer] Do you want to come to my workplace?
[Zira] I'd love to.
SECOND DAY OF MARRIAGE
God encourages His believers
to be patient.
It can be hard to control ourselves,
especially when we have friends
who sometimes need a slap in the face.
-[chuckles] -[crowd laughing]
The first step toward patience
is recognizing that each day in this world is a test.
Trials or tests that only come from…?
[crowd] God!
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
And if that still doesn't work,
dhikr.
Do more dhikr.
Astaghfirullah al azeem.
Until you calm down.
Ridwan.
Thanks for your purchase.
No problem.
-How are you? -I'm good, God be praised.
Hello, Abdul.
-Peace be upon you. -And upon you peace.
Hello.
This is my business.
Honey.
Honey?
-Want to try some? -Yeah.
-Galih, do we have a tester? -Yes, Ustad.
Wait.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
-Excuse me, Ustad. -Okay.
This honey is sweet, but I think it's just right.
Are there different types of honey?
Yeah.
Some are bitter like wild honey, some are runny.
Here.
Sorry.
[chuckles]
[hums]
What do you think?
It's good.
As sweet as you?
[tender piano music]
[laughing]
-Peace be upon you. -And upon you peace.
-Peace be upon you, Ustad. -And upon you peace.

Not all of them are floured yet.

-In the name of God. -In the name of God.
Is it good?
It's good.
-Really good. -Thank God.
[both reciting the Quran]
Do you want this? Oatmeal?
FIFTH DAY OF MARRIAGE
No?
-How many? -Two.
Please?
Gosh.
Durian.
You don't like durian?
[chuckles]
The smell alone makes me gag.
-[coughing] -But it's so good!
You like them?
Yeah! Especially durian Wonosobo, I can finish three.
[Zira] You never tried it before?
[Amer] No.
-You should! -I don't want it.
-[Amer] Maybe someday. -[Zira chuckles]
[Zira] There's the checkout counter.
[tense music]
You didn't invite me to the wedding.
Not to mention, he's a famous ustad.
How does it feel to be a celebrity?
Niki.
Does marrying an ustad ensure a place in heaven?
Niki, cut it out.
Peace be upon you.
Ustad, when you marry someone,
consider checking their past.
[somber music]
Let's go home.
-[Zira] Amer. -[Amer] Yeah?
There are many things that you don't know about me.
Honey.
We all carry our own pasts.
I used to hate Islam.
[Zira] I got expelled from school because I was falsely accused.
Imagine for a moment, I saw someone stealing in my class.
When I reported to the teacher, I was punished instead.
All because the thief was the daughter of an official.
This all happened in a so-called Islamic school.
Niki was the only one by my side at that time.
Niki had always wanted to quit that school.
That's when Niki stepped in and gave me the healing I needed.
I drowned in false recovery.
It felt great at first, but then I felt suffocated.
And then…
Honey, it's fine.
You're in a hijrah process.
The concept of hijrah is to improve yourself,
and you don't owe anyone your past.
Just keep it between you and God.
-[heavy breathing] -Your breathing?
What's wrong?
Oh, God.
-Honey. -[panting] Amer.
Look at me.
Astaghfirullah al azeem.
-Astaghfirullah al azeem. -Astaghfirullah al azeem.
Close your eyes.
-Calm down. -Astaghfirullah al azeem.
Keep at it. I'll start driving.
Astaghfirullah al azeem.
Keep going. Astaghfirullah al azeem.
Astaghfirullah al azeem.
Honey.

-Go get it! -[yelps]
Point!

-You're done? -I have no match.
What's wrong? Need a drink?
[tender music]
[Herman] Ustad.
How about a riddle?
[smacks]
It's okay, sister. Give it to me.
Why does the sun shine bright?
Yeah.
Because it's very light.
Right?
-Right? [chuckles] -Is it right?
-Really? -[laughing]
[Bella wheezing]
Calm down a bit, will you?
You never laughed that hard at my riddles.
But with him? [imitating giggling]
Your riddles are so lame.
But he was funny.
Okay, fine.
How about a match, Ustad?
I'm good. You guys can play.
Oh, God. Sorry, Ustad.
I forgot you're an expert in Quran recitation, not sports.
[grunts]
[Herman groans]
[Zira] So cool!
[Herman] Gosh!
[grunts]
Gosh!
Herman?
Zir.
Is your husband a preacher or an athlete?
He's so good.
Do you want a drink?
[Amer] Honey.
Are you making snacks?
-Thanks, honey. -Mm.
Honey.
Honey. Honey!
Surprise!
Is this real?
-Yeah. -You're pregnant?
-Yeah.
[giggling]
[smooching]
Are you nervous?
A little.
A lot, actually. [chuckles]
Me too.
Mrs. Nadzira? Please come in.
Yes, nurse.
-In the name of God. -In the name of God.
[doctor] Here, you can see
your uterus lining is thickening, suggesting successful fertilization.
Let's calculate the date of the first day of your LMP.
What's that?
It's an acronym for "last menstrual period."
But the pregnancy is too young for detection through external ultrasound.
Do your best to remain cheerful, Nadzira.
Your fetus is a bit vulnerable.
It's due to the inconsistent thickening of your uterus lining.
We'll give you vitamins to strengthen it.
Okay, Doctor.
[Amer] Honey.
I think it's best if we keep it a secret.
Let's wait for a month or two.
I agree.
Let it be a surprise.
Exactly.
For now, we'll celebrate.
[tender music]
[Amer] For my wife.
Do you like it?
Dig in.
The little one must be hungry.
[chuckles]
-Are you feeling okay? -Yeah.
Amer, did you know?
There's nothing more special to me than our child.
I feel the same way.
Let's dig in.
In the name of God.
Thank you, Amer.
You're welcome, honey.
But I could use some sambal.
You want sambal?
No, it's embarrassing.
[both chuckles]
-[customer] Thank you, Ustad. -[Amer] My pleasure.
-Peace be upon you. -And upon you peace.
[phone ringing]
Peace be upon you, honey. What's wrong?
And upon you peace, darling.
Can you come home? My stomach is hurting a lot.
Okay. I'm on my way.
[tense music]
[exhales]
[clears throat]
[doctor] This is for the best.
Stay strong, Amer.
If it is for the best…
Why is it so painful?
Let's dhikr.
Astaghfirullah al azeem.
[door slams]
[door creaks open]
[sniffling]
Let it out.
I'm here for you.
I'm sorry, darling.
No need to say sorry.
It's not your fault.
God knows what's best for us.
Perhaps we're now given time
to prepare, grow stronger, and mature ourselves
so that we can be good parents in the future.
[kissing noises]
It's okay.
[sniffling]
Now I see why you're my soulmate.
You are strong.
Brilliant.
Courageous.
I'm grateful to have you as my soulmate.
[children clamoring]
[indistinct chatter]
What did you order, Zira?
The same as everyone else.
Okay, we'll wait.
How is everyone?
We're good, thanks to God.
Zira, are you pregnant yet?
Soon, God willing.
I pray that you get pregnant soon.
-Amen. -And we'll be twinsies.
I can't swim as well as you two.
[chuckles]
You shouldn't tire yourself.
[tender music]
[Zira] I'll be over there.
What's the matter?
They asked me if I was pregnant yet.
[somber music]
-[exhales] -[Amer] Honey?
Honey.
Would you come out?
Please?
[sniffling]
[sobbing]
Darling, look at it.
Aren't you sad?
-Honey. Calm down. -Aren't you hurt?
Do you feel my pain?
Do you know how painful it is?
Calm down. We can try again.
[sobbing]
It hurts me too.
But not as much as it hurts you.
80TH DAY OF MARRIAGE
[Oki] In this life, we will face trials from God.
Including fear,
deficiency,
and loss.
But good news awaits those
who are patient.
A person who experiences loss
thinks that their possessions
and loved ones are theirs forever.
Eventually, they will realize
that there is nothing in this world
that belongs to us.
Through all the loss and the pain that you experience,
be patient.
Hang in there.
God is aware of our limits.
Your grief will not last long, God willing.
Keep your faith in God, and you will be fine.
Honey.
I, your husband,
would like to take you, my wife,
my love,
to the garden of heaven.
Are you ready?
In the name of God.
Hello, everyone. Peace be upon you.
-And upon you peace, Ustad. -How are you?
Peace be upon you, my friend.
And upon you peace, Mer.
-How are you? -I'm great.
How are you?
You're getting bulky. Been hitting the gym?
I don't think I've changed.
-Peace be upon you. -And upon you peace.
Oh, God. You're bringing your wife now.
I can't leave her at home.
How's mating life?
I mean, marriage.
Um…
It's ten percent good.
The rest is bad?
[whispering] It's great.
Gosh.
Come on, the gathering is about to start.
I'll see you later.
Okay.
Gosh.
Honey.
[groans] Seriously, right here?
-I'm right here! As single as can be! -Let's go.
Peace be upon you, Zira.
-And upon you peace. -I'm Shafa.
Join us. It's about to start.
Thanks, Shafa.
Peace be upon you.

[tender music]
[Amer] Wait.
Amer.
-What is it? -[chuckles]
Thank you for taking me here tonight.
Now I know why you said this place is the garden of heaven.
A lot of people here are also longing for heaven.
I gained more knowledge and made new friends here.
They gave me dates too. Did you get any?
-I got some. -Right?
Amer.
[sighs] I want to come here more often.
Let's come here every Saturday night. Deal?
Deal.
Darling.
Wake up. Let's pray the tahajjud.
My goodness.
Come here.
I took wudu.
-You can take another one. -No!
God is the greatest.
God's peace and blessings be upon you.
[muttering prayers]
Amen.
Dear God.
Please help me be a good wife to Amer,
just as You made Khadija a good wife to Muhammad PBUH.
Amen.
Honey.
Yes?
My towel.
You're always like this.
Sorry.
Hurry, it's cold.
[uplifting music]
Thank you.
I showered already!
[Zira yelps]
[giggling]
The best fried rice in Az Zikra.
-[hums] -Have some.
Pray first.
In the name of God.
Don't do that.
[chuckles]
It's good!
I'm good, aren't I?
Hello, honey.
Because you gave me the best fried rice in Az Zikra,
now I will make you the most special tea.
Okay. I'm drinking alone?
Yeah, I made it for you.
I'll try it.
In the name of God.
[hums]
You used sugar?
But it's sweet?
Really?
[chuckles]
By the way, we got invited to Oki's podcast.
Do you want to go?
I'm a huge fan of Oki.
[chuckles] So you'll go?
Yeah!
-The day after tomorrow? -Sure.
I'll let her know.
Darling, there's something I want to ask,
I've been offered a clothing endorsement. Can I take it?
No.
Of course, you can. No need to ask. Do it.
It's for your savings too.
-[laughs] -Thank you so much.
Do you need help?
-It's fine. -I can take pictures and videos.
Okay, then.
[Oki] You inspire the young people out there.
[Amer and Zira] Amen.
You can skip questions you'd prefer not to answer.
-If you're not comfortable answering. -Got it.
-Let's begin. -Sure.
How do you feel about the idea of Amer wanting
to practice polygamy?
[tender music]
I'm not against it because it's permitted by God.
But I don't quite agree
because I don't know what lies ahead of me.
If we can manage, that's okay.
God willing.
But it's not guaranteed that I'll be able to.
After all, even though I'm married to Amer,
Amer is not completely mine.
If Amer is capable, I don't mind.
I suppose now that I allow him, he won't do it, right?
Reverse psychology!
[laughing] What do you think, Amer?
-[chuckling] -No, right?
[Amer] Honey.
Sorry if Oki's question made you uncomfortable.
No need to apologize.
[sighs] I know it was more uncomfortable for you.
But don't you worry.
I'm not interested in polygamy.
I know how painful it is.
[tender music]
And I don't want to hurt you.
Except for this.
-[whines] Darling. -And this.
-Darling, please! -And this.
How fierce.
-It tickles! -One is fierce enough. Imagine four?
-I'll tickle you! -Were you listening?
-[whines] -I'm just kidding, honey.
One is enough.
More than enough.
-Okay? Come here. -[gasps]
Honey.
Wake up, honey.
[Zira mumbles]
Hey.
Wake up.
I love you.
I love you too.
Take a moment.
90TH DAY OF MARRIAGE
[Zira] Amer, look at this.
The podcast got a ton of views!
Some people are offering jobs,
and some have offered me to be a brand ambassador.
Praise be to God.
Is that thanks to the podcast or…
-polygamy? -[clicks tongue]
-[Zira whines] -[Amer chuckles]
Just kidding.
[phone buzzing]
11 MISSED CALLS
Here.
Let's go out this evening.
Sounds good.
Where do you wanna go?
How about the movies?
Anything but horror films.
Are you scared?
[indistinct mumbling] I'm not scared.
[chuckling]
[tender music]
Why do you keep staring at me?
You'll miss the movie.
Mashallah.
My wife is so beautiful.
You know,
I've always wanted to do this.
Holding hands
while watching a movie with my wife.
I've also always wanted
to do simple romantic things.
Want something more romantic?
I'm okay.
Let's do more.
No.
It's like in the movies.
-Say ah. -[chuckles]
-More? -[person shushing]
Cut it out.
Did you enjoy it?
I enjoyed it because I watched it with you.
-I liked it. It was a good movie. -Yeah.
[man] Sir! Over there!
-Miss, don't do it! -Get down, miss!
-Come on, miss, get down! -Get down, miss!
Miss! Don't do it!
-Get down, miss! Don't do it! -Excuse me!
Niki?
Niki.
[suspenseful music]
Nik, come to me.
Come down.
You.
You rejected me from your life.
That's not true at all! Come down!
[chuckles, sighs]
I got knocked up.
Dendi won't take responsibility.
Nik, we can talk if you come down.
No!
I was there for you
when you were at your lowest.
But you weren't there for me!
No, it wasn't like that, Nik.
I'd rather die with this baby in me!
[Amer] Niki, don't!
Though life may seem unfair at times,
God won't test us beyond what we can handle.
[somber music]
[Amer] I'm sure you're strong.
[sobbing]
I know you're a strong person.
Come on.
[sobbing]
Hold on to me.
Slowly.
[Niki wailing]
I'm not ready, Zir.
I'm not ready.
Hey.
Niki.
[Zira] So many people
are waiting to be blessed with a child,
including me.
[Zira] Your child is a blessing.
Don't abandon it.
[Zira] Okay?
You're strong.
Amer, doesn't a wedding anniversary happen annually?
You're celebrating every day.
Because every day with you is special and priceless.
It's your favorite.
-I love it. The flowers are pretty. -[chuckles]
You sit down, I'll put the necklace on.
Come here.[coughing]
-Do you have a cough? -Apparently.
Maybe from the running.
Do you need medicine?
Don't worry.
Just water is enough.
[tender music]
-Amer. -Mmm?
I hope and pray…
for us to be together forever.
Amen.
God willing, honey.
And I have one more gift.
Come. Careful.
-[chuckles] -Step back a bit.
Forward.
-Please, not anything scary. -Relax.
I won't hurt you.
And… here.
[Zira chuckles]
[sighs]
Welcome…
to our new house.
Yeah.
-That… -Are you serious?
…belongs to us.
-Oh my gosh! Darling! -[laughs]
This will be our room.
It's close to the children's room, in case they cry,
I'll stay asleep, and you check on them.
-By myself? -Just kidding.
We'll check on them.
Once I'm there, I'll sleep.
[both giggles]
Our bed will be over here.
The light shines here.
[coughing]
Are you okay?
Let's go outside.
Come on.
[coughing]
Darling.
[coughing]
[doctor 2] From the examination,
there are spots on Mr. Amer's lungs.
This is what caused the problem,
resulting in his difficulty in breathing and frequent coughing.
Therefore, I recommend that you be admitted
for more intensive treatment here.
-Okay, Doctor. -[somber music]
Honey.
[tender music]
-[coughing] -Go ahead.
Excuse me, sir.
God is the greatest. [exhales]
[coughing]
God's peace and blessings be upon you.
-Please pray for Amer's speedy recovery. -Amen.
So that he can return home quickly.
Tell them when I'm better, I'll visit them.
He'll visit you after he gets better.
Ustad, please pray for Amer's recovery,
and that he can come home soon.
Amen.
Thank you for the prayer, Ustad.
Now you sit down. Come on, honey.
-All right. -You should eat too.
Yeah, you too.
160TH DAY OF MARRIAGE
-Honey. -Yeah?
Let's go to Banten tomorrow.
It's far away. You should rest for a full recovery.
I miss your mother.
I haven't seen her in a while.
Besides, I'm not really close to your family in Banten.
Okay?
Please?
[tender music]
But, before we go,
let's pick out a gift.
They all look so beautiful.
You don't want to check out the others?
Don't worry, honey.
My business is selling really well right now.
I can buy this.
Do you think your mom and Bella will like it?
-They'll like anything. -You think so?
Yeah.
Okay. Miss, these two, please.
Let me prepare them.
Don't worry.
Thank you, darling.
[Zira] Bella and Herman went to my mom's house first.
They wanted to check the restaurant.
Why don't we switch places? I'll drive.
No need, honey. I'm okay.
-[Umi] Here they are. Praise be to God. -[Herman] Praise be to God.
They must be so tired.
Peace be upon you!
And upon you peace!
-Zira! -Mom!
My love, I missed you so much.
-How are you? -I'm good.
How are you, Mom?
-I'm great, thanks. -How was traffic?
-Uwa is here. Say hi. -What time did you leave?
-Got stuck in traffic? -Amer!
-No, thank God. -You must be tired.
You haven't eaten?
We got everything ready for you.
[laughing]
-Bella! -Hi!
[chattering]
Mom, Bella. We brought a gift for you two.
Amer, you didn't have to.
It's no trouble at all.
I don't need gifts.
Seeing you and Zira happy is enough for me.
Consider this a token of my gratitude for bringing Zira into this world
and letting her marry me.
-My goodness. -And to Bella for looking after Zira.
Barakallah, may you be filled with peace, love, and blessings.
[in unison] Amen.
God willing, I will make Zira happy.
Thank you.
[Herman] I have one!
Buy pindang fish in the Keramat market.
Nice.
This tempeh was cooked by Bella.
[chuckles] Wait, that's wrong!
[laughing]
Eating Bella's tempeh on the floor.
Nice!
[coughs] Let me think.
Tomorrow, let's dine by the seashore.
[cheering]
But seriously, let's go to the beach!
-Right. -We should go.
[Amer] As well as commemorating the late Abi's birthday.
Mashallah.
[Umi] This is why I'm happy.
[peaceful music]
What are you feeling, darling?
-I'm happy. -Mm-hmm.
I feel a lot better.
Maybe it's because I'm on the beach with you,
or because I kept cracking jokes with Herman yesterday.
[giggles]
He keeps getting funnier and funnier.
Why are you taking pictures?
It's a video.
This bracelet from Amer is really beautiful, Mom.
I'm sure it's expensive.
Isn't this too much?
I told Amer he didn't have to.
But he insisted.
Honey.
When we're old,
let's move here.
Okay.
Imagine.
When we become grandparents,
we'll walk on the beach every morning.
On holidays,
our children and our grandchildren will all gather here.
Amen.
Amen. Would you like that?
I like it.
Thank God. I'm really happy.
Now, our family feels more complete.
Mashallah.
I think so too. Just look at them. They've been so lovey-dovey.
Amer! Zira!
You two should come and eat!
Yeah.
Sorry, Mom. Zira got carried away talking.
-[Zira] Amer wants some more. -[Umi] Take as many as you want, Mer.
[indistinct chatter]
[bright music]
[chuckles] You're getting my clothes wet!
-[Zira screams] -Come here, you!
[giggling, squealing]
We'll fall down!
Darling!
-[laughing] -Salty. [laughing]
[laughing, squealing]
Darling! It tickles!
Darling!
[coughing]
[bright music turns somber]
[Umi] What's wrong with Amer?
-Let's go help! -Amer!
Amer!
-What's wrong? -What happened?
-[coughing] -What happened, Zir?
[coughing]
[thunder rumbling]
[Amer shivering]
Amer. What's wrong?
Oh, God. You're burning up.
-[somber music] -Cold.
Hang in there.
Nurse.
My husband is shivering and burning up. Can you check on him now?
-Just now? -Yes.
Please wait a moment. I'll notify the doctor.
Please hurry.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
[coughing]
That's enough. I couldn't bear to see you in pain.
Don't worry about anything else. Just focus on your recovery.
You're even prettier when you're upset.
[click tongue] Are you listening to me?
I am. I'm sorry.
Okay.
I won't worry about anything else.
But can I see you get upset one more time?
Darling, I'm serious.
-[Zira whines] -[chuckles]
Sorry for all the trouble.
It's no trouble at all.
Could you help me with this?
You can stay still.
I can do this much.
[coughs]
My wife is so thoughtful.
-[coughs] -[chuckles]
Thanks, honey.
[sneezes]
[hums] Looks like you're catching my illness.
No.
Please don't get sick too.
Mm-hmm.
Honey.
You should go home tonight.
You're not getting enough rest.
No.
Alvin can take over for you later.
No. I'm staying here.
-I'll take care of you. -Honey, don't be stubborn. Listen to me.
When was the last time you saw our new house?
It's been a while, hasn't it?
If the house is completely painted,
then our promise is off, right?
You should rest.
Go home.
Check our new house.
[coughing]
My nose is itchy.
[somber music]
I feel like a baby.
Peace be upon you.
And upon you peace.
Darling, I don't think I can leave.
Why?
Well, if I leave,
there won't be anyone to shower you with love
Alvin can't do that.
You can call me.
Okay?
Don't worry. Come here.
[coughing] Go home.
What now, my love?
You don't want me to keep you company?
That's not true.
-Then why are you telling me to leave? -You need some rest too.
Okay? Go sleep at home.
On our comfy bed.
[Zira] Send it back.
[tender music]
YOUR FAVORITE FRUIT. I LOVE YOU. -AMER
[phone ringing]
Peace be upon you.
And upon you peace.
Do you like my gift?
-Praise be to God. -After you've recovered,
you must give Wonosobo durian a try, okay?
-[Amer chuckles] -You promised.
Okay, honey.
Take good care of that plushie, okay?
I bought it with love.
Okay?
Peace be upon you.
And upon you peace.
Sorry, Miss Zira. Can I ask you something?
Are you sure you and Mr. Amer will be doing the paint job?
I'm serious, Amas. You don't believe me?
[chuckles] It's not like that, it's just…
It's normally the worker's job, not the owner.
I just need you to pray for Amer's speedy recovery.
Amen. God willing.
[phone ringing]
-[Amas] Guy! -Yes, sir?
Peace be upon you, Alvin.
[somber music]
[heavy breathing]
Honey.
[sighs in relief]
[whines] Amer, did you know Alvin called me? I panicked!
I told him to.
You didn't see what I was holding?
Durian.
It's time.
[Amer] The smell.
[Zira hums]
Not so close.
-[chuckles] -[coughing]
Here goes.
[sighs]
In the name of God.
It's good, right?
It's sweet?
Yes, is it good?
It is.
The smell is misleading.
Durian is delicious.
-Darling, this is… [squeals] -[chuckles]
So thick.
[chuckles]
That good?
[Amer laughing]
It's been a while for you?
-Yeah. -Because of me? I'm sorry.
It's fine.
[imitating Zira] It's fine?
Swallow first.
Gosh.
[tender music]
Honestly.
Whenever I'm with you,
all my problems disappear.
Praise be to God.
Honey.
When we're old, let's buy a mattress like this.
Not too soft.
Not too hard.
Just right.
If God blesses us with another child,
I want the room to be like that.
Sounds good.
Let's pray for a prosperous future.
Amen.
I'm so proud of you.
Aww.
Stay strong.
God willing.
I want to kiss you but my breath smells.
[laughing]
Thank you, honey.
[coughs]
Astaghfirullah.
In the name of God.
God is the greatest.
[inhaling heavily]
-[nurse] If you'll excuse me. -Sure.
Darling.
When we move out,
let's paint the house beige.
I'll listen to you, no more being stubborn.
You have to recover. You're strong.
I know you're strong.
You have to.
Darling.
Don't fall asleep.
Darling. Amer.
Don't fall asleep.
Darling.
Stay awake.
Darling.
[melancholic music]
Darling.
I need you. You must stay awake.
Wake up. Astaghfirullah al azeem.
Astaghfirullah al azeem.
[Zira] Promise me you'll be strong, darling.
[machine beeping slowly and steadily]
[all mumbling prayer]
[indistinct prayer]
[door clicks open]
If you wish to speak with Mr. Amer, one person may go inside.
[somber music]
Go speak to him, Zira.
Come on in.
Darling.
You must be tired.
Would you like to rest?
[sniffling]
But I don't know
if I'm ready for it.
[machine beeping slowly and steadily]
Smile.
Be strong.
Yes. I am strong.
[sniffling]
I'm strong.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
[Amer stifling]
You must be strong too.
Let's dhikr together.
Astaghfirullah al azeem.
Until you fall asleep.
Astaghfirullah al azeem.
[Zira] Astaghfirullah al azeem.
Astaghfirullah al azeem.
[mouthing] Astaghfirullah al azeem.
[Zira] There is no god but Allah.
[faintly] There is no god but Allah.
There is no god but Allah.
[flatline beeps]
[somber music]
[sobbing]
[sniffling]
Amer.
We've yet to achieve many of our dreams.
Amer.
