Argantara

This is not just my story.

This is his story.

A story about him.

A guy that I hated.

His name is Argantara.

Leader of Agberos.

A gang that has long been rivals with another gang named Baron.

There is no end to their fights.

Aska!

Blood for blood.

A life for a life.

Destruction for destruction.

They put their lives on the line.

And they never stop, not even when blood is spilled.

Argantara's dark life...

...is completely different compared to other teenagers.

A polar opposite of mine.

Syera, hurry. You're going to be late.

Yes, Mom!

I have a happy family.

- Mom. - Yes.

- See you later. - Take care, sweetie.

Okay.

Ready?

Yes, Dad.

Bye-bye!

The 2022 Best Student of Jakarta...

...is awarded to...

...Syera Jehani from Merpati High School.

My bright future is ahead of me.

And I have great friends.

- Syera! - Hi!

You're being suspicious.

Did you do the homework?

Do you want to copy it?

You know how I am with Physics. I just feel like healing.

- Get it? - I know.

Wait.

What's the problem?

Ugh.

Bad boys with so many fans.

Their future is bleak. What is there to see?

Listen up.

The female reproductive organ is called the uterus.

We can also refer to it as the womb.

The function of a uterus...

...is to keep the ova or eggs until it is fertilized…

My womb feels all warm when I look at Aldi.

He's handsome.

Captain of the basketball team.

Hey.

Since he was the vice president of the student council, until he became the president,

everyone knows that he likes you. It's pretty obvious that he likes you.

So far, do you understand?

Yes, Ma'am.

Who do you think,

would have their eggs fertilized by Aldi?

What's that, Ghea?

- Eggs fertilized by who? - No, nothing, Ma'am.

Alright, that's enough! I never do it before!

Want a virginity check? Let's do it.

It's nothing, Ma'am.

I want it!

Quit it!

Kids, let me remind you.

Do avoid sexual relations before marriage. Alright?

It makes me want to get married soon.

Don't married at young age either...

...getting married just so you can have sex is also wrong.

You really need to think of,

the consequences and the responsibilities.

Don't forget to do your homework at home,

and I'll see you next week, okay?

Yes, Ma'am.

Syera.

I saw Mrs. Beti during the break,

she said she wanted to see you after school.

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

By the way…

...no, never mind. Sorry.

What?

That's it?

What is this?

Yesterday I found them in your desk.

You've broken so many rules at school.

The rule states you should wear black shoes.

And you're here wearing red.

Why don't you just use glass shoes like Cinderella?

- Excuse me. - Come in, Syera.

- You wanted to see me? - Yes.

Yes.

Hey.

I'm supposed to answer. Not you.

I have a task for you.

You need to keep an eye on Arga,

while he does his punishment.

Do I really have to do it again?

- I'm no longer part of the student council. - Yes, yes.

I know you're no longer vice president.

But I only trust you.

So what do we do here?

Get it together!

If you keep doing it that way, when will you be done?

You need to gather all the leaves, bring them over there.

Burn them in the dump. Remember.

Don't burn them in…

Arga!

Are you listening to me?

- Gosh. - Huh?

Hey, Arga.

Where are you going?

You're not done yet.

The broom…

...this is a school!

Okay.

Since you're messing with me…

...Argantara Reynand.

Refuses to do the punishment.

Makes a mess of the leaves.

- Smokes at school and... - Enough, don't write that.

No. I'm telling Mrs. Beti.

Alright, I'll clean it up.

Do it properly.

People used to say...

...if you don't sweep neatly, your wife will have a beard.

What if you end up becoming my wife?

No way!

Even if the mountains turn to boxes,

I will never be your wife!

Ugh, so annoying.

Now I'm home late.

How do we tell Syera?

We can't put it off again.

We've been putting off telling her all this time.

Dad, Mom.

What is this about?

Why everyone silent?

What is going on?

Syera.

Do you remember that I used to have a friend named Anjar?

Hmm, no.

Why?

Uncle Anjar is my close friend.

He once saved my life.

I felt like I owed him, so I proposed something.

He said no at first.

But then he fell sick.

Eventually, he died.

Before he died, Uncle Anjar had one request.

I said yes to it.

We even have it on written form.

It's a mutual agreement, almost like a contract.

I promised to marry you to his son,

when his son turns seventeen.

That means now.

His son is seventeen now, right?

Marry?

Syera, I know you're shocked.

Syera sweetie,

- I'm actually against this plan. - Honey?

Darling, what kind of mother would do this?

If it weren't for him, I would be dead.

- I owe him my life. - That's enough.

It has happened.

There is nothing we can do.

It's your decision now.

- What do you want to do? - I don't want to get married.

I'm still sixteen.

Why would I?

Besides,

based on the law the legal age to get married is nineteen.

- They revised it. - I know.

You can get a marriage dispensation from the court.

That way you can get married as long as the other terms are fulfilled.

Come to dinner tonight, okay?

We'll meet your future husband, his mother, and his mother's husband.

No.

Syera. Syera, sweetie.

Syera.

Let's go.

Come on now.

- Welcome. - Hi Ardi, Sonia.

- How are you? - Good.

- Hello. - Hi, how are you?

- How are you? - Syera, say hi.

- Meet Uncle Ardi and Auntie Sonya. - Hi, Syera.

Syera, you're all grown up now. So beautiful.

Thank you for coming.

- Let's sit down. - Come on.

- Where's your son? - He went to the restrooms.

- Let's just sit. - Be my guest.

So how is it going?

- All good? - Yes, everything is well.

How about you?

There's Arga.

Arga, meet Syera.

Syera, this is Arga.

Why are you both silent?

You go to the same school, right?
