Where are you going this afternoon?
Help!
Look at the fish.
Look.
- Good morning, Hassan. - Hey.
- Come take a look. Fresh fish. - Yes.
- Good morning, Dr. Hassan. - Good morning.
Sam?
Sam!
- Sam! - Daddy!
Sam!
Are you new?
Yes.
- Further up. - Further up?
Miss, if you can't bandage this properly,
you're not ready to be a wife.
I called your son.
You must have told him I'm dying.
But the deal was you're going to tell him, right?
Don't make him come all the way for nothing, Doctor.
Singapore isn't near.
Jegha.
I saw Sam running and screaming down the road just now. What's wrong?
Were you chasing him? Were you angry at him?
Careful. One day, he might hate you.
Sam's at school. How can he be on the road?
Luckily, Asha came to check on you.
I don't know what you did to deserve that woman.
That's what she tells me.
Everything's done outside, Uncle.
But what about the dead plants?
Throw them out.
Thank you, Sam.
- The next roti boom is on me. - Sure!
- Would you like that? - Yes.
I'm so glad you guys are better.
It's thanks to you and your wisdom.
My son.
He helps around the house in exchange for your father's company.
- I hope the payment's worth it. - Of course it is.
You're a lucky boy then.
Doctor, thanks for looking out for my father.
Can I take you and the family out for dinner, perhaps?
Absolutely.
There's no need to trouble yourself.
Peace be upon you, Dad.
And upon you be peace.
Dad.
I bought you some food, but it seems you've already had some.
How are you feeling, Dad?
You look different.
It was about time.
It's a good change.
If God wills.
How's your hand? Are you okay?
It's nothing.
How about your head?
Be careful next time, Dad.
I'm always careful.
Tell that to the truck driver.
When was the last time you came here?
- Pardon? - A year, I think.
- Has it been that long? - Yeah.
Time flies.
You know Imran. He's always so busy.
Why are all the albums out?
I'm organizing them
according to the date while I still can remember.
How come?
So I won't forget.
I see.
But there's this one photo.
I can't remember⦠Imran.
When and why did we take this photo?
Do you remember?
No idea.
He has just scored a big account at the agency.
It was the same as last time. A big account.
Yeah.
How about you, Dad? Have you been okay?
I'm old. Whatever it is⦠Never mind.
You're still young, Dad. You're still strong.
I'll take the food to the kitchen.
I forgot that I was boiling some eggs.
Why are there clothes inside the fridge?
It was Asha. She always brings me food.
Western food.
She can't cook Malay food.
There's trash in the washing machine.
Trash?
It must be Sam. He likes to play pranks on me.
Do you remember this photo?
No, Dad.
It's a photo of you and your mom when you were young.
Never mind.
Let me cut it.
Come.
It'll be easier to eat.
When did you start wearing the hijab?
When my mother passed away, Dad.
Was she sick?
No, she was just feeling unwell one day.
The next thing you know, she was gone.
My mother was never the same after my father passed away.
I think this should be okay for you.
- Yes. - Try it.
Are there any more photos of your wedding like this one?
What's that?
I only have one photo of it. I want to put them in my collection.
That's all we took, Dad.
We had a very small ceremony, Dad.
You should've been there, Dad.
It was in Singapore. It's far.
I hate traveling.
I don't like surprises either.
I thought Imran would never get married
because he loves his job more than anything else.
I learned that from you, Dad.
Well, it must be true love.
Yes, I guess so.
If your late mother were there,
she would've been happy and proud.
That day, I prayed
for you both.
Your mother would pray day and night
for you both.
It's past two already. It's time for Zuhr.
- I'm going to pray. - Okay.
Let's pray together.
Or are you still lazy about praying?
It used to be so hard getting him up for Fajr.
Can you pass the fish ball?
I can take a few more days off work.
I'll stay here a little longer. You can go back.
What?
What would Dad say?
What could he say?
What does it matter?
I'm worried about him.
Do you know what I found in the kitchen?
There was laundry inside the fridge.
There was trash in the washing machine.
And didn't you see the wall in the kitchen?
It was burned.
Plus, you've got that new account. You can't take care of Dad.
Let me help.
It'll complicate things.
He's my father.
I'll do what seems fit, okay?
It's only for a few days.
At least I'll get a change of scenery here.
You shouldn't have come.
Okay. Why don't you just be honest with him?
What?
Do you see his condition?
Can you see what he's going through right now?
You want me to tell him the truth?
You want me to tell him that we're separating?
I'll tell him when he's ready.
You shouldn't have come.
- Doctor. - Yes.
I have everything here and it's cheap.
Peace be upon you, Doctor.
- And upon you be peace. - The fish just came in.
They're fresh from the sea.
Doctor, I have fresh vegetables.
What's wrong, Doctor?
My son.
Where's my son?
My sonβ¦
Help!
Help!
- Sam? - Help!
- Sam! - Help!
Sam!
No!
- Come! - Dad!
No, Dad. Don't!
Get in.
No, Dad. Don't!
- No! - Get in.
Get in!
I don't want to!
I said get in!
I'm scared, Dad.
- Shut up! - No, Dad.
Don't do this, Dad. I'm scared.
Dad! Turn back!
I don't want to go!
Turn back, Dad!
No!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Still scared of the sea?
You would let me drown?
