BOMEL STREET

Honey!

Why did you yell? You woke me up.

What’s wrong with you?

I should be asking you that.

What have you been dreaming that made you scream?

I dreamt I was in the war.

You dreamt you were a soldier? You have gone crazy from dreaming.

Don't talk too much.

Do you think I'm kidding?

I'm really worried.

Where is Vera?

She's washing the dishes.

Vera!

Vera!

What's wrong?

Why can’t you answer me nicely?

What kind of daughter talks like that?

I’m sorry, Dad.

That's good.

Can you go and call your brother here?

I'm washing the dishes, Dad.

Just go call him first.

Tell him I’m looking for him. It’s urgent.

Then you'll wash the dishes?

Leave it to me.

- I’ll call him now. - Yeah.

That's good girl.

Brother Celo!

Brother, Dad is looking for you.

What's the matter?

He said it's urgent.

We'll talk about it later.

There’s a mop gathering over there.

Come on, I'll be scolded later.

You go home first.

I will tell Dad that you don't want to come back now.

Tell him whatever you want.

Fine, then.

I don’t care. Can’t be that important.

This is a mop story.

One day, Teten went back to her village.

She went to the port and asked the captain a question.

Captain, what time is the ship leaving?

Two at noon, so you can go back now and get some rest.

I said to him, "Okay, I'm going back for now."

I got home and I said,

"The Captain told me that the ship is leaving at two."

I'll get some sleep. I'm getting tired.

For the past three days,

I have been dreaming about a war.

I’m not sure why.

In that dream, I saw your brother.

Why have you never told me that I have another brother?

Honey, why are you wiping your tears with my sarong?

You will make it dirty.

Do you think my tears are viruses?

I can’t use your ugly sarong?

Tell me the truth.

Why have you kept it secret?

I'm already an adult now.

Don’t you consider me your own son?

You are very much my son. Good-looking and handsome.

You can trust us on that.

Just tell me the truth.

Don't beat around the bush.

This is hard to say. You have a twin brother.

Twin brother?

That’s right, Celo.

That time, I took him with me to go fishing.

You stayed home with your mother.

I just wanted to lessen your mother's burden at home.

I wasn’t watching him and he got swept away.

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

That’s the story, Celo.

I can’t wipe my own tears with your sarong.

Now you are using your sarong to wipe your tears.

This is my sarong, not yours.

What's all this got to do with your dreams?

My dreams tell me that he's still alive.

So all this time you thought he was dead?

We have tried to look for him.

Those dreams make me sure that he's definitely alive.

He's in a battlefield.

A battlefield?

Where would that be, Dad?

I don't know.

But I managed to see two clues in my dreams.

What are they?

Hold on, let me try to remember.

BOMEL STREET

A street sign called Bomel Street,

and a picture of a male deer.

You will definitely find your brother in a battlefield.

Why does my face smell like soap?

Which napkin did you give me?

A dishcloth, Mom.

Are you crazy? Do you think my face is a plate?

This is some money I’ve been saving. Use it for your journey.

Keep it safely and use it wisely

Thank you very much, Dad.

Dad, this world is bigger than our village.

But I’m sure I will be able to find him with my heart.

I promise that I will bring him back to you.

Brother Celo!

- You are leaving? - Yes.

I brought some food for you.

Thank you.

I brought some drinking water too. This is all I had in the house.

If you are still thirsty, just drink the sea water.

It's ok.

You must promise me that you will come back.

I will be waiting for you always.

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

Now I'm leaving.

What if something happens to me during the journey?

You are going to regret it.

Hello, where are you?

You're at Kupang? Wait for me there.

I'm on the way. I'm driving now.

I'm in a traffic jam, so just wait for me there.

Fine. Just wait.

This city is becoming more advanced.

- Lots of cars on the street. - That's for sure.

Excuse me? Can I ask you something?

Do you know where the battlefield is?

What do you mean "battlefield"?

I’m trying to find my brother in the battlefield.

Are you nuts?

- No. - Are you insane?

Do you see that rock?

Yes.

Take it over there and throw it at those cars.

Soon, there will be a battlefield.

Just try and see what happens.

No. I'm not looking for trouble.

I just need to find the battlefield. Excuse me.

- All right. - Yes.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Hello?

Bad signal.

- Hello, Sir? - Yes, hello?

I did everything you told me to.

All transactions have to be done outdoors. It will bring good luck.

That's good.

My business is really bad.

I hope this works and your prediction is precise.

You have to trust me.

- My predictions always score a goal . - What?

Goal? Did you use a crystal ball or a football?

What are you talking about?

Just trust me. I won’t let you down.

Believe me?

I believe you.

Enough, I will hang up the phone.

- I'm tired. - Okay.

- Okay . - Yes.

Bye.

HOROSCOPE

Hello.

I'm already at Kupang, where are you?

I’ll wait by the beach.

What? Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara?

Ouch!

I mean Kupang, "Kursi Panjang" at Jayapura.

Where young kids hang out. Not the other island.

Just come here now. Yes, Jayapura.

Useless.

Of course you have to take a plane! Stupid.

Hello!

Why did he hang up?

Dumbass.

Hello, what happened to your predictions?

- It didn’t work. - What?

It didn't work.

You have to do something.

It’s bad.

I can see it’s getting worse now.

Stop making excuses. I'm taking so many losses now.

My debts are mounting. They'll also seize my office.

- What are you going to do? - Trust me.

I better go back and help my uncle in the fields.

I have so many debts in here. A battle will happen soon.

Listen to me.

The reason for your failure is that your aura is very bad…

What aura? Aura Kasih?

You will meet with a guy who will soon become your buddy.

He's very handsome, and his smile is awesome.

He will become your guardian angel.

Excuse me. Can I ask a question?

I'll call you back later.

There is a crazy guy next to me.

Later.

What do you want?
