The Doll

Last week...

the three of us went out of town to drop off mom and dad.

Since they had work to do for a week,

we went home without them.

Since Rendi had to pee,

we drove around for 20 minutes looking for a restroom,

but we never found one.

Until...

finally we had to stop at Siliwangi road.

SILIWANGI ROAD

There, by the tree.

-Okay. -Hurry up. People are looking.

Since then...

weird things started to happen.

Who was it?

I don't know.

But there's this.

It must be from Kevin.

Your new crush?

Yes. He mentioned yesterday that he wanted to give me a doll

for my birthday present. Isn't it cute?

A doll this ugly?

Who cares? What matters is that he remembers me.

Rani.

Why did you put the doll here?

I didn't put it there.

Maybe Rendi played with it.

Maybe.

Hey, honey!

Thanks for the doll. I love it.

Don't pretend like you don't know.

Then...

Who is it from?

LET'S PLAY HIDE-AND-SEEK! COME AND FIND ME

Rani.

What's the matter?

I don't know. But look at this.

YOU FOUND ME!

Rendi!

What is it?

Did you do this?

No.

Why did you bring that doll home?

That doll

was on the tree where I peed on yesterday.

Someone's being mischievous.

LET'S PLAY HIDE-AND-SEEK YOU SHOULD FIND ME

Sir!

Sir!

Sir, wait!

What's the matter, Miss?

Did you see anyone putting this piece of paper in front of our house?

No. I didn't see anyone around here.

Thanks, sir.

-You're welcome. -Okay.

YOU FOUND ME

Rendi!

Oh, god. What happened to your leg?

Rendi, what happened?

I've told this story to my friends many times.

But none of them believed me.

Until Rani said

that her friend was acquainted with Laras and Dedi.

Maybe you can help us.

What exactly is going on?

We have been married for 15 years.

But things haven't changed yet.

It's all still the same.

Honey.

Please be patient.

Give me one more chance.

My store will open in a while.

I can't take it anymore.

I can't live like this anymore.

How can we pay our debts?

How can we pay the rent?

The debt collector after us.

Don't you want us

to live a better life than this?

I really love you.

Please take care of Daniel.

Bojong!

Bojong!

Bojong?

Let's go! Bojong!

Honey.

Honey!

What are you up to?

Cooking.

Smells good.

Of course. You know that whenever I'm happy, I cook.

You just got a great deal, am I right?

Yes. And guess what?

I just got an order of ten dolls for a child's birthday party.

-Are you serious? -Yes.

Thank god.

Let's eat.

Yeah.

I made your favorite soup.

You have to finish it.

Here.

Why are you smiling like that?

I...

have something for you.

What is it?

You know I work in construction, right?

My working hours are crazy, sometimes I don't even come home.

And the pay isn't even that good--

Honey, it's okay. What's important is that we're in this together.

I know.

The good news is, I just got a promotion.

The company gave me an opportunity to become Mr. Haryanto's assistant.

He is the head of all the real estate projects in Bandung.

The pay is great, honey.

We could even get a loan to buy a house there.

A house?

Open it.

Honey.

Are you sure we can buy a house?

We can take some of the money from my paycheck each month.

We'll still have enough money to get by each day.

And since my current position is quite good,

the office will lend us a car to use during my stay.

A car?

From now on, you don't have to think

about what we can eat tomorrow.

Or about bills and other stuff.

And you don't need to work in a mini market anymore.

From now on, you can focus on creating dolls.

We can make our dreams come true.

And raise a family.

Honey.

I'm so happy.

Thank you for working so hard for us.

I am so proud of you.

The truck is here.

-Good morning, sir. -Morning.

Let's go, honey.

Our new home.

It's beautiful.

I can't wait to start decorating.

Of course. I've prepared one room just for you.

You can place your dolls there.

And you have your own working station too.

Honey?

What's that for?

All houses should have this installed. It's required by the neighborhood.

Honey,

can you get some nails? It's in the box in the garage.

Okay.

Hello!

Hello.

You've just moved in?

From where?

Sorry, I don't understand.

Oh, you must be from Jakarta then?

Yes.

I'm Niken.

My house is right across yours.

I'm Anya.

Finally, someone moved into this house.

I saw a lot of people so I decided to drop by.

Yeah, we just arrived. We're still tidying up.

Did you find the nails?

It's over there.

Honey, come here.

Meet Mrs. Niken, she lives across our house.

-Niken. -Daniel.

You can just call me Niken, since I'm from Bandung.

Are you still busy settling?

Not really. Why?

Actually, there's a party at my place.

If you want, you can join us and I'll introduce you to everyone.

You can go if you want. I should be at work anyway.

Is it okay?

Sure.

Then, let's go! Come.

I just can't stand it when my husband snores.

You're a new couple, though.

By the way, how long did you two date?

About a year.

Oh, just one year.

You need to throw a party for your new house.

So nothing will bother it.

SILIWANGI ROAD

The doll is scary.

We're stuck because of this tree.

So what are we going to do?

We'll find out later.

Mr. Usman.

Mr. Siregar.

I'm Daniel, Mr. Haryanto's assistant.

Oh, good afternoon, sir!

Mr. Haryanto is running late since he has a project to take care of.

So I will be in charge here until he's back.

Yes, sir.

Why is that tree still there?

According to our schedule, it should have been cut down yesterday.

We need this space for the shopping center.

No one is brave enough, sir.
