Jangan Panggil Mama Kafir

Christmas is the day that Christians around the world eagerly await.

And on this Christmas Eve,

I, Maria Wanea, pray to the Lord Jesus

to send me a Christmas miracle.

And I humbly ask, with an open and hopeful heart,

for the presence of someone who loves me, cherishes me,

and walks with me in Your love.

O Lord.

You answered my prayer so quickly.

His name is Fafat.

I met him on the holy night of Christmas.

My name's Fafat.

Maria.

Maria, get in quickly.

They're waiting for you.

Just a moment.

Let's go in. It's starting soon.

You go in first.

Okay.

Both of my parents had died.

Currently, I live with my uncle and my aunt.

Papa Yakobus and Mama Yohana.

I call them Papa Ya and Mama Yo.

I spend my days painting

because before my dad died,

I promised him that I'd be a professional painter.

Luckily, I have Elsa to curate and even sell my paintings.

Moon Woman.

A lot of people are interested in your painting.

But no one ever made a deal to buy it.

It's okay.

A painting is just like a person.

It's a matter of finding the right match.

You have a point there.

This is Karissa, my lovely best friend.

I tell her everything,

including my meeting with Fafat.

What's wrong with you?

You just came and you're already talking about my soulmate?

It's only a coincidence.

Nothing is a coincidence in this world, Ia, honey.

Everything's arranged by God.

In my religion,

it's called qadr .

Fate.

For a loyal customer…

And it turns out

Fafat is a loyal customer of Karissa's cafe.

Of course.

- Thanks. - Enjoy.

Fafat is your loyal customer?

This is Fafat?

Mar?

How come we meet here?

What a coincidence.

I feel that

God's miracle is real.

My prayer on that Christmas Eve was answered.

With Fafat by my side,

I feel a lot of things that I haven't felt before.

Sorry for spilling it.

Until finally…

What if we date?

Or we can get married right away.

- Why are you laughing? - You must be kidding.

I'm not. I'm serious.

- No. - I'm serious.

LAW OFFICE, YAKOBUS ALFEUS LAWYER/ATTORNEY AND LEGAL CONSULTANT

Your uncle is a lawyer?

He is.

But he's an idealist.

He doesn't want to defend wrongdoers.

Cool.

Nowadays,

it's okay for lawyers to defend wrongdoers as long as they get the money, right?

Right.

Well, let's go in.

Okay.

Here he is.

Mama Yo.

- Papa Ya. - Yes?

This is Fafat.

- Good evening, sir, ma'am. - Good evening.

- I'm Fafat. - Yakob.

- Hello. - I'm Fafat.

Sir, ma'am, I bought murtabak .

- For you. - Thank you so much.

Murtabak.

Han, why do people bring murtabak when they come to visit?

They should bring something else, like sweet snacks or fried rice.

Don't be like that.

You also brought murtabak back then.

- Mama Yo. - It's so important.

- Mama Yo. - Why did you...

Right.

You're the one

who was chatting with Maria that night at the church, aren't you?

- That was me. - Is that right?

That's right.

See?

Thank God. Hallelujah. Christ Almighty. Thank you, God in heaven.

Yes.

Meeting at a church is a good start.

You know, we met at…

Sorry, at the disco.

Right? How were you?

Get down…

- Papa Ya. - Sorry.

This is what happens if she forgets to take her medicine.

- Thank you. - We're going in.

- What's your name? - Enough.

- Fafat, Ma Yo. - Fafat, thanks.

- Get in. - You met at the church. I love it!

So sorry.

Why?

Hey, your uncle and auntie are very fun.

Because it's your first time meeting them.

If it happens too often, I'm afraid you'll get tired.

So, what do you say?

About my marriage proposal.

Let's take it slow, Fat.

Ladies.

It's very important to us.

We have to find a son or daughter-in-law who shares our faith.

Interfaith marriages

can bring great harm.

Our grandchildren will suffer later.

They'll be confused if their parents follow different religions.

And now, we have instilled in our children

the importance of finding a spouse who…

- Shares the same faith. - Shares the same faith.

God willing.

Especially when our child has become close to someone.

It's better to get them to marry.

Avoid dating.

There's no dating in our religion.

All right?

I want to ask you something, Maria.

What's your opinion

on interfaith marriage?

Why are you asking that all of a sudden?

Nothing. I just have a friend.

They're dating.

But they follow different religions.

But they still decided to get married.

I just want to know your opinion on that.

Hold on.

Yes, Ma Yo?

Heart attack?

EMERGENCY 24 HOURS

How could you say you're fine? You're not.

Ma Yo.

Oh, no.

How could this happen again?

What happened?

He was reading some files for his trial tomorrow.

And then he started to get angry.

Soon after, he said his chest felt tight and he was struggling to breathe.

So I brought him here.

And the doctor said they have to put a stent in him again.

Gosh!

Let's pray for Papa Ya.

Let's hope the surgery goes well and that you'll recover quickly.

Thanks, Maria.

Let's pray together.

Fafat, lead the prayer.

Come on, let's pray.

Fafat?

O Allah.

Please grant Mr. Yakob a full recovery.

You are the Almighty Healer.

There is no healing except the healing that comes from You.

- Calm down. - Healing that leaves no trace of illness.

Come out.

Amen.

What was that?

Tell me.

Why did Fafat pray differently from us?

- I don't know. - We pray like this.

But why does he pray like this?

I don't know, Ma Yo. I don't know.

How could you not know?

Call Fafat here.

Fafat.

Why did you pray like this?

I prayed like that…

Because I'm a Muslim, ma'am.

Oh, God.

What is this, Maria?

Why is it like this?

You two are close. You're dating.

Don't do this to me and Pa Ya.

How could you not know this?

I'm confused too. I didn't know.

You lied to me.

Mar, it's not like that.

Mar, listen to me, please.

I never had the intention to deceive you or lie to you at all.

What I said to you was real.

I can't lose you because I love you.
