Satu Suro

(Suro 1st is the first day in the Javanese calendar in the month of Suro...)

(...which also Muharram 1st in the Islamic calendar.)

(For Muslims, Suro 1st or Muharram 1st is considered a good day...)

(...as a mark to Hijrah from Bathil to Haq.)

(But some people believe an urban legend that during this time...)

(...of high spiritual energy, the spirits could come back to haunt us.)

(Some people even considered that Suro 1st...)

(...is a Festival or Eid for spiritual beings.)

-Get her! -Chase her!

-Don't lose her! -Hurry!

-Where's my baby? -Ma'am...

Where's my baby?

Calm down, ma'am.

Where's my baby? Don't tell me to calm down!

Where's my baby?

Please, calm down, ma'am.

Don't tell me to calm down!

Ma'am!

-Calm down! -Don't do that!

Don't you dare!

Another step and she dies!

-Don't! -Get out of here!

Get her!

Help!

Leave!

Leave!

-What's going on here? -It's Lastri.

Lastri?

Lastri!

Calm yourself down!

You lose.

I have found my baby.

All of you have lost!

You will perish!

Baby...

I am sorry...

That is not your baby!

Let's smash this door!

Let's go!

Don't come in!

I will kill every baby if you dare come in!

Open the door!

Stop, Lastri!

Lastri, don't do it!

Don't do that!

-Ma'am! -Don't move! Stay where you are!

No!

Calm down!

Don't do it! Don't do it!

Don't!

Don't do it!

-Please, stop... -Don't do it, ma'am!

Die, all of you!

No!

And what's your plan for the future?

I will continue writing. That's the only thing I know.

But your book doesn't sell very well.

It's just about picking the right theme.

So what do you need, Bayu?

I need some capital.

-Capital? -Yes, capital...

...to rent a better place for Dinda.

I can also get more inspiration for my next book.

We will be having a baby, too.

And we need money for that.

I have a house outside of town that you can use.

It's one of my favorite place.

If you live there,

I'm sure your baby will be in good health.

You can also write in peace.

Bayu...

...this is your first child.

You will have to give it special attention.

This is the key.

And this is for you.

You don't have to return the money.

I did fight a lot with your dad...

...but that doesn't mean I hate him or even your family.

I will try to help you the best way I can.

Uncle Rahardjo is very kind to us.

Uncle Rahardjo...

I think he made a lot of mistakes with my father back in the days.

Now, he's doing all of this to redeem himself.

Bayu...

...you always see the bad side of people.

Maybe he has a good quality in him that we haven't seen.

It's nice in here.

So?

Isn't this better than in the city?

Yes, Bayu.

You can also write in peace while enjoying nature.

I hope you can relax in here.

If you're relaxed, then I'm happy.

If I am happy, ideas will come out.

I can finish my book and we will have money.

And then we win.

Do you have to speak like that?

-That's like a poem. -Sure.

Thanks, Bayu.

But I don't want you to worry about me too much.

I'm your husband.

Soon, I will be a dad.

Of course, I am worried about you.

Oh, my. Look at this ancient photo album of Uncle Rahardjo.

-He looks so young in this picture. -Look at his shirt.

I forgot to mention that there's a hospital nearby.

I'll take you there when I have the time.

-At least we have a solution for our baby. -Yes.

Well, time to get some rest.

I have a meeting with a publisher tomorrow morning.

So, I need to wake up early in the morning.

-Okay. -Come on.

Morning, ma'am.

Good morning, miss.

Looking for something?

I have these beautiful flowers.

Do you have any tuberose?

It's not in season.

All we have is jasmine.

Just pick any of them. It's as pretty as any tuberose.

Now that you mention it, there's a lot of jasmine in here.

-Any occasion? -You didn't know?

Night of One Suro is near...

...so we should prepare for everything.

We have jasmine.

Goats, chickens, you can get them all here.

-You should be preparing, too. -Prepare for what?

Wait, you're not from around here, aren't you?

I live at that cabin, over by the Green Lake.

That cabin?

What's wrong?

Nothing, just...

I need to close up shop for today. I'm sorry.

Bayu?

Bayu?

Bayu?

Dinda?

Dinda, where are you?

Dinda, honey?

Where are you?

Dinda?

Dinda?

Dinda?

Dinda?

Dinda? Dinda!

Are you okay?

I just had a bad dream.

Ask for forgiveness from God.

-We have to start praying, Bayu. -Stop it.

I know you don't believe in religion.

I'm just tired, that's it. Come on, let's get back to sleep.

Come on.

I'm going now.

Take care.

-Hello? -Peace be upon you, Dinda. It's Mom.

And peace be upon you too. Hi, Mom.

When are you going to visit us?

This place is amazing, we're on the hillside.

The air so fresh and we live near a lake.

I know, but are you okay, dear? I am feeling strange.

I'm okay, Mom. I'm doing fine, body and soul.

Don't do too much activities.

If you're too tired, that won't be good for the baby.

And don't forget to do a midnight prayer to ask for good health for you.

Have you prayed for the house?

You know, you have to pray for the new house you live in.

Well, I'm waiting for you to do it.

You can come here anytime.

-I will always be here. -Yes, if God wills.

-All right, Mom? -Take care of your well-being.

-Bye, Mom. Peace be upon you. -Peace be upon you too.

So here's the thing.

We have been thinking, and kind of following the program.

So in the future...

...we're planning to reach a broader market.

As you know,

our sales for the last two years were not too impressive.

So we need to boost our sales numbers.

What do you mean?

We decided that you would be perfect to write a horror genre.

That's right. Horror.

I know we should write based on any inspiration that come to us.

But there are times that we need to change our direction.

I don't mind in changing directions, as long as it's clear where I'm heading.

I have a legacy to maintain.

Your legacy exists because we gave you an opportunity.

Calm down. Come on, Bayu.

Think realistically.

We have to produce something that the audience really wants.

We will go bankrupt if we have more authors like you.

You can make a decent horror story.

Such as Pocong, Kuntilanak, they have their own origin story.

Maybe add some comedy, or perhaps a romantic theme to it...

Dinda?

Dinda?

Dinda?

Dinda? Honey?

Are you okay?

It hurts so much...

Okay, let's go to the hospital. Give me your hand.
