The best of you are the best to their families,
and I am the best to my family (Tirmidzi)
Listen, Ros...
I think your firmness got rusty from living too long in Java.
Now you're so easily persuaded.
It's not about being persuaded, Brother.
It's for the happiness of our family.
Didn't you see Ita's face that night? She almost lost her mind.
You seem to be very "productive", huh?
My second kid is five years old older
and the first one is eight years old older.
The team fits perfectly.
You're smart, you chose the right woman.
One who's got an "insurance".
Shut it!
Have you tried the grilled goat?
This is the reason people come to wedding receptions.
I'm gonna dig that in.
I've had four plates.
This is really good.
Do you want more?
Can I have one?
Bun, who is that?
That's Pipit, Aunty Rika's daughter.
This is why you need to come to our family gathering!
Cousin, huh?
Yeah.
Bun, please look after him!
Take this.
I haven't had anything to eat.
Come here, Mom is tired.
Go see that with your dad.
That's a lame excuse!
Ican, come here!
What's up, Aunty?
- How are you? - I'm fine.
Aren't you worried about your cousins getting hitched one by one?
Your Western standard doesn't suit us!
But we're really Westerners.
I mean, from West Sumatra.
Don't talk back to your elders, think about your mother.
She really wants a granddaughter.
That poor woman!
Thank you for the sympathy, but it's really okay.
I don't have any granddaughter, that's why I pray that I'll have one.
I'm just saying that he should get married.
It will be hard if he has little kids when he's old.
Sure, but don't pity me, I'm embarrassed.
I'm sorry.
Can...
Come here for a moment.
I'm going to get some more food.
You can do it later.
Just a sec.
I met Aunty Len, her daughter is pretty!
Now she's a doctor in Maninjau.
Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, let me eat first.
Hey, how are you?
Praise be to God, I'm good. This is my second son, Ican.
Is he married? We can introduce him to Nopi.
Sure, we can. Is she here?
She was here a moment ago, now she's somewhere around...
You want to go home already?
No...
I just want to enjoy some fresh air.
I thought this woman wants to go home.
Why can't you stand a family event?
No, it's Nathan, he can't stay still.
It's normal if a kid can't stay still, but that's a different story for adults.
It's okay, this is Aunty Len from Pariaman.
Excuse me.
Can...
You can't be with that woman's daughter.
I've seen her, she's not good-looking, and she smokes.
Mom, you can't judge people by their looks,
but by their heart.
Don't say it like that.
It's still important to see whether they're attractive or not.
Mom.
I need to come out for a moment. Nathan just can't behave.
A moment...
Let's have some coffee.
Alright.
Where are you going after this?
I'll head home, where else I should go to?
But you said you want coffee?
Come on...
Are you coming or not?
Who is that?
Where?
That girl over there...
She's Asril's sister.
I'm off, guys.
Hi...
Hi.
You're Asril's sister?
I am.
How come we haven't met?
I've been visiting your house lately to accompany my mom and Rostina.
You're Rostina's brother?
Well, I'm her cousin.
Ican.
Rike.
My aunt once said to me...
You're working in advertising, right?
Yes.
Who are you waiting for?
My mom, I don't know what's taking her so long.
That just how parents are.
They say they're just saying goodbye but end up chatting with so many people.
Can, where's the car?
Wait, Mom...
Asril has your number right?
I'll get your number from him.
Can!
Who's that?
Don't do things that will spread false rumour!
No, I'll take the car.
Come on.
Ladies, Allah has destined that every human being has a time limit.
So when the time comes,
they can't postpone it...
for even a moment,
nor advance it.
We all have the past, the present, and the future.
Current generations, past generations, and future generations.
All have their own times and ways.
Is that new?
Yes.
It's good to exercise, you'll be healthy.
Young man...
Look at me, sixty-five and fit!
But remember...
Don't drink too much coffee or smoke.
They're not good for you!
How many times can you do it?
As much as I can.
This is good.
Do it again.
Assalamualaikum.
Waalaikumsalam.
I still have more snacks.
Can we bring this home?
Sure.
I've never seen Ican has a serious relationship with any woman.
He's thirty-two now...
When I was his age, I already had two children.
Ma'am, we'll head home first.
You have them wrapped?
Thank you, Ma'am.
See you later in the next recitation gathering.
We can go home now that we're full.
Assalamualaikum.
Waalaikumsalam.
Ma'am.
Maybe God listened to your prayer, Ma'am.
What do you mean?
You remember when he studied in Bandung?
You always prayed that he wouldn't fall for any women.
And not to commit adultery.
Well, maybe God heard that prayer,
so now he's not into women.
Nope! Of course not!
God always listens to parents prayer.
Can...
Can you make a better soap opera? Your office makes films, right?
Yeah...
But we don't make soap operas.
Why not?
You can make a story about a daughter-in-law who loves her
mother-in-law.
It would be great.
Yeah, we will make it.
Soap opera where the mother-in-law is very kind to the daughter-in-law,
and she is Padangnese.
A fussy woman!
Assalamualaikum.
Waalaikumsalam.
Come sit with me, dear.
I brought your favorite goat soup, Mom.
I cooked it myself.
I put lots of gristles.
Ndoy said you like them.
How far along are you?
Praise be to God, it's our sixth month.
I pray for your health.
The meal is almost ready, do you want to eat it right away?
If it's already there,
it's up to me I want to eat it now or tomorrow
Just leave it there.
Mom...
Maya cooked it for you, your tone is uncalled for.
What tone?
She offered it when I'm here watching TV, i just asked her to leave it there.
Yes, but that's not how you should speak to her.
It's not your place to tell me how to speak.
That woman has gotten into you!
Mom.
Try changing the channel.
There's nothing to see in the commercial breaks.
