May you live a long and happy life.

Happy live.

Happy live.

You shouldn't have.

Blow out the candles.

Yay.

- Happy birthday, Sabdo. - Thank you, Intan.

- Congrats, Sabdo. - Thank you, Erna.

- Hang on, I'll get you a drink. - I can't stay long.

Wait here.

I haven't packed my stuff yet.

What time are you leaving?

The bus leaves from school tonight, Intan.

So we'll arrive in Jogja tomorrow morning.

Must be fun, going on a study tour to Jogja.

It's not fun if you're not there.

Sabdo won't be there either.

Here's the textbook you asked me to get you.

- Thank you, Erna. - You're welcome.

- All right, I'll see you later. - Bye.

Intan, don't you want to follow in Marni's footsteps?

You'll be 17 next year.

No way. I want to finish high school.

Then I'll go to college.

Get a good job.

Keep dreaming.

All right, I'm off.

- Okay. - Sabdo.

- Happy birthday. - Thanks.

- Take care, Erna. - Okay!

Just admit it.

Tell Erna that you like her.

What are you talking about?

Don't you dare say anything to her.

What?

Here you go. It's Dad's.

Happy birthday, Sabdo.

Wait, wasn't this broken?

It's working.

Where'd you get the money?

I saved up.

It looks good on you. Perfect for…

- A proposal? - Why a proposal?

- I mean, for interviews. - Exactly.

This is insane.

Who did this?

Who's responsible for this?

Hey, come out!

Who did this?

Who did this?

Show yourself!

Who's responsible for this?

Sabdo…

Sabdo!

Sabdo!

Intan.

Sabdo!

Intan?

- Sabdo! - Intan.

- Intan! - Sabdo!

Intan!

- Intan! - Sabdo!

Sabdo!

- Excuse me. - Can I help you?

- Is this Mr. Kondoto's house? - Yes, it was, sir.

Where is Mr. Kondoto now?

He passed away a long time ago.

Sorry, who are you?

I'm Arjo. Arjo Kuncoro.

I'm Kondoto's older brother.

Those are his children. They've just been through a tragedy.

Sabdo.

Sabdo, come here. There's someone here for you.

This is a photo of me with Kondoto when we were young.

I never thought Kondoto would be gone.

Yes, it was about three months ago, Mr. Arjo.

Just call me Uncle.

Yes, Uncle.

I've been looking for my brother for years.

There's so much I wanted to tell him.

But it's okay. I'm happy now.

I finally get to meet you two.

Kondoto's children.

Where will you stay now?

We don't know, Uncle.

How about you come with me?

Live with us at our house.

We have plenty of rooms.

Besides, it's time for this family to get back together.

You mean, we'd live with you, Uncle?

Yes, at our house.

The Kuncoro family home.

You'll live there with me and your aunt.

No, Uncle. We don't want to trouble you.

- He's right. - It's fine.

Your father used to live there too.

Discuss it among yourselves.

- All right. - Okay?

What do you think?

I don't know.

But why didn't Dad ever mention that he had a brother?

When Dad was sick and we had no money, why didn't his family help?

I don't know.

Dad must've had his reasons.

What matters is that they're watching over us.

We still have family.

Can I help you?

Excuse me, sir, miss.

I'm Sugik. I work for Mr. Arjo.

I see.

Anything you want me to carry?

We don't have anything left, actually.

I'm so sorry.

Maybe it's fate that you've met Mr. Arjo now.

All right, whenever you're ready, the car is over there.

Excuse me.

Okay.

Please come in.

- Is the missus in the back? - Yes, sir.

- Lina, take them to her. - Yes, sir.

Take them to the missus.

Let me help you, sir.

- It's okay. - Just let me do my job, sir.

- Sir, miss, please follow me. - Okay.

Sabdo.

Sabdo. Let's go.

After eating, prepare some drinks.

Yes, ma'am.

These are Kondoto's children.

Sabdo and Intan.

Where's Kondoto?

Sabdo.

Intan.

You're not alone anymore.

You have your Uncle and me.

This is Lina.

She's your helper.

If you need anything, call her.

Now get some rest.

Take a shower. We've got some clothes ready for you.

Then we'll eat, okay?

Yes, Auntie.

I didn't know you were here.

Excuse me, miss. Ma'am said to bring you these clothes.

She said to wear these, miss.

Okay. Thank you.

Please, eat up.

So, how's your school?

You must be in high school, Intan.

Here's the thing, Uncle.

Since Mom and Dad passed,

I've had to support Intan.

But since they're odd jobs,

nothing sticks.

It's okay.

You don't need to worry about money or expenses anymore.

I could help find you a school.

Really, Auntie?

Thank you, Auntie, Uncle.

Is that my dad in that picture?

That was your dad when he was your age, Sabdo.

You look like him.

Don't you think so, Arjo?

Just tonight, Sabdo. I don't want to sleep alone.

The room…

It's too big.

I know.

I know you must be shocked seeing all this.

So am I.

- But... - Just close your eyes, Intan.

You'll get used to it.

All right, I'm going to sleep.

- But... - Go to your room.

- Try to get some sleep. - Don't close the door.

Where is it?

What is it, Intan?

Look over there. See for yourself.

What am I looking for?

There's no one there.

I swear, something pulled my leg.

I fell to the floor.

You were probably dreaming.

Fine, you can sleep with me then.

Sabdo…

I'm still thinking about last night.

It feels like a dream.

Intan, don't overthink it.

You heard it yourself, right?

We need to get used to living here.

Don't you think this house feels creepy?

- Ma'am? - Auntie?

Ma'am?

Are you all right, ma'am?

Ma'am?

I'm fine.

Are you okay, Auntie?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Nothing to worry about. Come on, let's have breakfast.
