[woman in Indonesian] My name is Milea. Milea Adnan Hussein.
I was born in Jakarta.
My mother is from Bandung, and she was a band vocalist.
My father is an officer in the Army. He's from West Sumatra.
After they got married, they moved to the Slipi area in Jakarta.
In 1990, my father was assigned to Bandung.
I moved to a high school in Buahbatu, Bandung.
And my story begins from there.
It's about a person who taught me
the importance of wishing a good night's sleep to someone.
["Dulu Kita Masih Remaja" by Pidi Baiq playing in Indonesian]
-Good morning. -Morning.
You're Milea, right?
I am.
-Can I read your future? -You want to read my future?
Yeah. I can see us meeting again today in the cafeteria.
-Want a lift? -No, I'm good.
But someday you're going to ride with me.
You'd better believe it.
See you.
[happy, indistinct chatter]
You know what?
This morning, some boy on a bike tried to read my future.
What do you mean?
He said we'd meet again in the cafeteria.
-Do you know who he is? -I don't know him.
So, are we going to the cafeteria?
No, I'm good.
Do you realize it's already been two weeks since your first day here?
[chuckling] I know, right?
Lia, I'm offering you a position as the class secretary.
-Secretary? -Nandan is the class president.
I know, but why me?
Come on, just say yes.
Will you?
All right, whatever.
[boy] Excuse me.
-Are you Milea? -Yes, I am.
-There's a letter for you. -A letter?
From a friend of mine.
-Where's Wati? -The cafeteria.
OK. See you.
He's Piyan, from the 2-Physics-1 class.
-Do you know him? -No.
"Milea, my prediction about meeting in the cafeteria apparently failed.
Sorry, but allow me to read your future again.
We'll meet again tomorrow."
-But tomorrow is Sunday. -What?
Nothing. So, what are my tasks as a secretary?
[bright music]
-There are guests outside. -For me?
Yes, boys.
-I'm bringing you an invitation. -What kind of invitation?
-You can read it later. -OK.
[in Sundanese] Piyan, how do I say it in Arabic?
[in Sundanese] What?
Oh!
[in Indonesian] Iqro, Milea. See you later.
-How do you know where I live? -I already know your birthday, too.
-And I know who your God is, too. -It's Allah.
It's the same for me. See you later.
Assalamualaikum or not?
-Assalamualaikum. -Waalaikumsalam.
Let's go.
[gentle music]
[Dilan] Bismillahirrahmanirahim. In the name of Allah.
The most gracious and the most merciful.
I hereby sincerely invite Milea Adnan to our school
on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
[telephone rings]
[bright music]
[Milea's mother] It's for you, from Beni!
Your boyfriend?
Hello?
[Milea] It was a busy day for me. I had to clean my shoes.
I had to talk on the phone with my boyfriend in Jakarta.
But deep down, I just wanted to think about
the fortune teller's weird invitation that made me smile all day.
[man] At ease!
Attention all students who haven't submitted September's tuition fees.
Please don't forget to do so.
[man] Move!
Tuck your shirt in. Let's go.
Mr. Suripto will give the next announcement.
Stand in line.
Straighten your uniforms.
-It's him again. -Who is he?
Dilan.
The school's flag ceremony is our way of honoring our deceased heroes.
Our country needs disciplined students.
[Milea] That morning, I found out that the fortune teller was called Dilan.
...even after knowing that, some of you didn't show up at the ceremony.
[Milea] Rani said he was from the 2-Physics-1 class.
[dramatic music]
He was a member of a famous bike gang in Bandung.
His rank in the gang could make you shiver.
Combat Commander.
[all shouting]
Are you going home by angkot? Can I tag along?
-Where do you want to go? -Home with you by angkot.
-No, I'm good. -It's public transport.
-But you're riding your bike. -Don't worry about that.
This is the first time I've sat beside you.
Milea...
you're beautiful.
Thank you.
I'm not falling for you yet.
But this afternoon, who knows?
You'll see.
[bright music]
I foretell that you will soon learn my name.
[Milea] Hearing that, I almost said, "I already know your name.
I don't need more readings from you. You'd better leave me alone."
[bright music continues]
[yelling]
Do you know that all the students at our school are arrogant?
And who wants to go to Ripto's counseling room?
-Who? -Me!
Ah.
Sorry if I make you uncomfortable.
That's your ride.
I just wanted to check you got home safe and nothing bad happened to you.
Yeah.
[gentle piano music]
Stop!
[narrating] But after he left, I felt guilty for being rude.
I thought, he must be upset.
I found him more fun than Beni, my boring boyfriend in Jakarta.
His poetry was often copied from Khalil Gibran books,
or worse, from teen magazines.
Weird. Why was I comparing that fortune teller with Beni?
[Nandan] That's Ridwan's desk, and he sits with Hanafi.
That is Jenar's desk, and sitting next to her is Ravi.
Lia, letter for you.
A letter from who?
How about this desk?
We can do it again later. Recess is almost over.
OK.
[Dilan] Information.
As of yesterday afternoon, I'm officially in love with you.
[gentle music]
-What's in the letter? -Nothing. It's nothing.
-You're that hungry, Ran? -Nandan is going to pay for my lunch.
Is this the only cafeteria we have?
Some kids eat here and some eat at Bi Eem's food stall.
-What's that? -Bi Eem's food stall.
-A small restaurant behind our school. -Yeah, you're allowed to smoke there.
Kids from other schools eat there, too.
It's their hangout center.
-Hi, Lia. -Hi.
I just wanted to say hi.
-You know what? -What?
I like Lia.
-But I'm too shy to tell her. -I think you just did.
I told you, not Milea.
But I think she heard you.
I hope so.
Piyan!
[gentle music]
[Milea] I saw it in Nandan's eyes.
He felt uncomfortable about what Dilan had said to him.
I'm not an expert at reading body language,
but Rani said he had a crush on me.
But I knew girls in my school wanted to be his girlfriend.
He was good-looking and good at basketball.
[bell dinging]
What are you doing here, Dilan?
[clears throat]
-Rani, can I sit here? -What?
Can I sit here?
Do you have any paper?
May I?
[gentle music]
LIST OF GUYS WHO WANT TO BE YOUR BOYFRIEND
NANDAN MR. ASLAN (GYM TEACHER)
TOBY (SOCIAL STUDIES), ACIL (PHYSICS)
DILAN (HUMAN BEING)
Why did you cross out all of them except your name?
All of them will fail.
Except you?
Yeah. Wish me luck.
-Good afternoon, class. -[all] Good afternoon, sir.
So, today we will learn about morphology.
Does anyone know about morphology?
-[all] No. -Good.
Because if you do already know, I'm going to have to change the topic.
Hey! You're not from this class.
Come over here.
[whimsical music]
-What are you doing in this class? -I think I entered the wrong class.
-Get out. -Sorry, sir.
Tuck your shirt in.
Class, you should eat more fish to nourish your brains
and keep you from forgetting stuff.
Don't be like Abdul. He doesn't even remember his own class.
[all] It's Dilan, sir!
-His full name is Abdul Dilan, right? -[all chuckling]
-I was thinking of giving you a lift. -No thanks.
But I changed my mind, because I knew you would say that.
[laughs]
-I'm coming to your house tonight. -Please don't. My father is strict.
-Does he bite? -Seriously, don't come.
I'm not afraid of your dad. I think he's cool.
-Seriously, why are you doing this? -I just want to go to your house.
[sighs]
[gentle music]
-Thank you, honey. -You're welcome.
[motorbike revving]
[doorbell ringing]
-Bi, can you get the door? -She's gone to the kiosk.
[sighing]
It's OK, I'll get it.
-Assalamualaikum, sir. -Waalaikumsalam.
[whimsical music]
-Who is it? -A weird boy.
Weird?
-Assalamualaikum. -Waalaikumsalam.
-Who is he? -That was weird.
Just some random kid from Lia's school.
He said he was a messenger from the cafeteria.
He thinks he's a messenger, like from God?
He said he was promoting their new menu. "The Three Flavors Batagor."
-Three Flavors Batagor? -I don't understand kids today.
[in Sundanese] Maybe he's just crazy.
[phone ringing]
-Hello. -[Dilan] Good evening.
-Evening. -May I speak to Milea?
Speaking.
-It's Dilan. -Huh?
Hey.
Milea, I went to your house.
I know. You said you were a messenger from the cafeteria.
Because you love to eat.
[laughs]
-Do you know why I went to your house? -No. Why?
If I didn't come because I was afraid of your dad,
then I'd be a loser. So, I went there.
But if your dad's angry at me, that's OK, too.
-Why? -Because you'll feel sorry for me.
Was he angry at you?
No, but he said you were already in bed,
and now we're talking on the phone.
-Are you sleep walking? -[chuckling]
-Where are you? -Who?
-You. -You who?
Dilan.
[gentle music]
I'm on...
I'm on Mars.
[chuckling] You're joking aren't you?
Seriously. Mars Street, near Margahayu Lane.
-Can I read your future? -I'm listening.
I can see that someday, you'll be my girlfriend.
-Do you believe me? -That's against our religion.
-Milea? -Yeah?
When you go to sleep, I'll be wishing you a good night's sleep from afar.
You won't hear it though.
Goodnight, Dilan.
Afternoon paper!
-Miss Lia, this is for you. -From who?
The paperboy.
[phone ringing]
-Hello. -[Dilan] Did you get it?
Get what?
The chocolate bar. From the paperboy.
[gentle music]
I did. Thank you.
You should thank the paperboy.
[laughing]
You know what? I caught two mosquitoes last night.
I named them Boni and Kinkan.
[clock ticking]
[door opening]
Lia, wake up.
-What is it, Mom? -Wake up, honey.
Your friends are here. They're waiting for you.
Oh my God!
[in English] ♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday, happy birthday ♪
♪ Happy birthday ♪
♪ To you ♪
[in Indonesian] Blow out the candles.
[cheering]
Hold the cake.
[in English] Happy sweet seventeen, Lia.
[in Indonesian] This is for you.
[boys cheer]
[laughter]
Eat your cake.
Thank God you bought her expensive cake.
Of course, special cake for my Milea.
[boy in English] Big boss.
-[in Indonesian] Do you like it? -Of course.
[phone ringing]
[Milea's mother] Hello?
Wrong number.
-Who was that? -I don't know.
Just a girl calling this late to a wrong number.
Are you expecting a call?
No, I thought my mom was already in bed. I just went there to pick up the phone.
Finish your cake.
I'll see you later, OK? Give my best to your parents and Airin.
OK.
Take care of yourself, and don't get too close to the boys from your school.
[laughs]
-OK, bye. -Bye.
-Bye!
Thank you for coming all the way to Bandung. Take care!
[gentle music]
-[student] Are you ready, Rev? -Yeah.
Lia's coming!
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
[ethereal ambient music]
[cheering]
-This is for you. -Oh my gosh, Nandan!
Do you know why I'm giving you a teddy bear?
Why?
So you can hug it when you sleep.
[students tittering]
[Milea] I have to admit, I was kind of disappointed in Dilan
because he didn't say anything on my birthday.
And I was waiting all night for his call.
-I want you all to copy this. -[students] Yes, sir!
-Excuse me, sir. -[teacher] Yes?
-There's an important package for Lia. -Go ahead.
Thank you, sir.
Happy Birthday, Milea.
Thank you.
[gentle music]
-Thank you, sir. -Whoa!
[gentle music continues]
Don't peek.
[Dilan] Milea, Dilan asked me to give you this birthday present.
He's wishes you a good one. He loves you.
[giggling]
[bright music]
[Dilan] Happy Birthday, Milea. This is your birthday present.
It's a crossword book I've already filled out.
I love you. I don't want you to have headaches from filling them in. Dilan.
[phone ringing]
[gentle music]
-Hello. -[Dilan] Hello, Milea.
I've opened your gift, Dilan.
Thank God. Do you like it?
Of course! It's kind of funny, and weird.
[chuckling]
-Milea? -Yes, Dilan?
Don't ever tell me if somebody hurts you.
Why?
Because I will make them disappear.
[students chattering]
-Why is the class next door so noisy? -The teacher's not in.
Oh.
What the-- What's happening?
[suspenseful music]
-[loud crashing] -[students screaming]
[in Sundanese] Dilan! It's you again!
[whimsical music]
You're a troublemaker!
[in Indonesian] It's you again, troublemakers!
Mr. Suripto!
Both of you, follow me!
Wati, are you dating Piyan now?
Yes, we're officially dating.
How about Dilan? Are you close with him?
Because I saw how you hit him with your book when he broke the wall.
-He's my cousin. -So you're related to him?
My mother is his dad's sister.
-I see. -He's a naughty kid.
I remember one time-- I don't remember when.
-But he slaughtered my mom's chicken. -A chicken?
-He stole it from the coop. -I can't believe it.
And when my mother confronted him, he said it was dark.
He thought it was his chicken. [laughing]
But his father is strict to his children. He's a soldier, I think.
A soldier? From which unit?
Don't know. I just know that he's a soldier.
Why are we talking about Dilan, anyway?
No reason.
[gentle piano music]
-Lia. -Hey, Nandan.
I've never seen you walk to school before. You always go by car.
Yeah, I came to school by angkot today and I'll ride one to go home.
[Milea] After my birthday, Dilan acted strangely around me.
He was just different.
I felt like he was avoiding me or something. I didn't know why.
["Kemudian Ini" by Pidi Baiq playing in Indonesian]
-Piyan! -Hey, Milea.
Piyan, how is Dilan doing?
He's good. Aren't you still in contact?
It's been a while since our last call. He used to call me almost every night.
-Just talking about small stuff. -That's typical of him.
But, how come he's been avoiding me lately?
I know nothing about that. But he told me to stay away from you.
-He said you and Nandan are dating now. -What? Can you tell him something?
-Tell him what? -I'm not dating Nandan.
-Please, tell him I said that! -All right, I'll tell him.
[ringing]
-[Rani] Lia, let's go for lunch. -Let's go.
-I'm good. -Let's go, Nan.
-I'd better stay here, too. -OK. Later, guys.
-Yeah. -May I sit with you?
-Do you think-- -Oh!
Sorry, I think I need to go to the bathroom. Excuse me.
Oh, OK.
["Kemudian Ini" by Pidi Baiq continues playing in Indonesian]
Rani!
Rani, what's going on here?
You didn't hear the announcement in the last class?
-What announcement? -You've been daydreaming all day.
The Quiz Competition selections are happening.
-Quiz Competition? -Yeah. Let's go.
-I'll catch up with you. -Bye.
-Piyan! -Milea.
-Did you tell Dilan what I said to you? -I did.
-What did he say? -He said, "Oh," and "Yes!"
Really? Do you know where he is?
He was selected as a member of one of the teams.
-Dilan? -Yeah. He's in the 2-Physics-1 class team.
-Sorry, I have to go to the toilet. -OK.
[all applauding]
It's time for bonus round.
Place your hand on the buzzer.
-[in Sundanese] Trust me. -First question.
Who was the Minister of Religious Affairs in the Fifth Development Cabinet?
[buzzer ringing]
-[moderator] Team B. -[in Indonesian] Mahatma Gandhi.
[students laughing]
Incorrect. The correct answer is Munawir Sjadzali.
We'll continue to the second question.
Please explain what was the main reason for the transfer of the power to make laws
from the president to the House of Representatives?
[buzzer ringing]
Team B.
[suspenseful music]
-I don't know, sir. -[students laughing]
It's too hard.
Minus 200 for Team B.
[whimsical music]
[overlapping chatter]
Calm down. Let me put the list on the board, and then you can read it yourself.
I hope your names are on the list.
Hold on.
List of students selected to go to TVRI, Jakarta.
Why can't I go to Jakarta?
You'd better stay in Bandung. It's cooler here.
[in Sundanese] Jakarta is too hot for us.
[students] Sir.
[in Indonesian] There's going to be another program anyway.
REPLACEMENT TEAM: JENAR, DILAN, MAUDI, CECEP, ANGGI
-[teacher] Udin, Lestari, and who else? -Ravi and Rudi.
OK. Get in the bus, kids! We're leaving now.
-Rani, I'll catch up with you. -Are you waiting for someone?
-I'll be back in a moment. Get in the bus. -Hurry.
[gentle music]
Milea! Get in the bus! We're leaving now!
OK.
[Milea] I should've been happy to go to Jakarta.
But I was upset when I found out that Dilan wasn't coming.
I called Beni the night before, not because I wanted to see him,
but because if I didn't tell him that I was in Jakarta, he'd be furious.
[Milea] We were so upset. We were leaving Jakarta as losers.
I have to go to the toilet and find Wati.
OK.
-Ran. -I'll be back in a minute. Wait here.
Lia, why are you so quiet?
I'm OK.
-Milea. -Beni.
I've been looking for you, and here you are.
But last night you said you couldn't see me.
But I'm here now. You don't like it?
-Is he your only friend here? -No, my other friends are here, too.
But they were told to--
To do what? Sit in pairs?
-Why are you doing this, Ben? -Who is he?
-Hello, I'm Nandan. -That's Beni.
Milea's boyfriend, and who are you?
We're just friends.
-So, he's your boyfriend in Bandung? -Stop it, Beni!
-Fight me! Come on! -Stop it, Beni!
-Get up! Fight me! -Enough, Beni!
I want him to fight me!
-What do you want? -You're taking his side?
-He's done nothing! -I don't buy that. I think you flirted!
You're a cheap girl. Everybody knows who you are, Lia.
If you want to date him, say it to my face! Say it!
We're done!
You whore!
[melancholy piano music]
What happened, Lia?
[students] Lia!
[Milea] That's the real Beni, if you're curious.
What kind of man yells at his girlfriend in front of other people?
Dilan.
Why is Dilan not coming with us?
Why?
[Milea] The word "whore" that Beni said keeps ringing in my ears,
overlapping with Dilan's words.
[Dilan] Don't ever tell me if a person hurts you.
Because I will make them disappear.
[melancholy music continues]
[Milea's mother] Lia. Lia.
Wake up, honey.
Your friends from school are here.
-Wake up, OK? -OK, Mom.
[Milea laughing]
-And then what happened? -[Nandan] For next Sports and Art Week,
they appointed me as captain of the basketball team.
-Congrats! -That's cool.
If my team wins, we will qualify for a competition in Jakarta.
Phone call from Beni.
When?
-It's in two weeks from now. -Tell him I'm sleeping.
It's good for us, then.
I'm so sorry, but she's sleeping.
Wish us luck. I'm going to treat all of you to lunch if we win.
-What's the menu? -[Wati] I bet it will be batagor.
I know a good batagor place. It's called Mang Ihsan's Batagor.
It's really good. You should try.
You're not joking, right?
-Another phone call. -Who is it this time?
-Dilan. -Are you sure?
I'm sorry, guys, I have to take the call.
Hello?
-[Dilan over phone] Are you sick? -I was. But I'm fine now.
-Why? -What do you mean why?
-What were you sick with? -The doctor said I was just tired.
It should've been me who was eating with you when they came.
Dilan.
I'm sorry I didn't go yesterday.
Don't be sorry. Anyway, where are you?
Sekelimus.
Come on over. Wati's here.
-What is she doing there? -Just visiting me, with some other guys.
All right, I'll be right there.
Bye.
[gentle music]
I'm sorry it took so long. I was getting dressed.
No, it's all right.
-Assalamualaikum. -Waalaikumsalam.
-Hey, Bi Asih. -Miss Wati.
-What are you doing here? -Somebody told me to come here.
-He said somebody needed a massage. -A massage? Who needs a massage?
-He said Miss Melia needed a massage. -You mean Milea?
-Yes, Milea. -Who sent you?
-Master Dilan. -[laughing]
He drove me here.
But he said he needed to stop by a kiosk to buy crickets.
[laughing]
-Please sit down. -Thank you.
[Milea] And then what happened?
I went to the kiosk with him, and he met his buddies.
And he said, "Tell them about your date when you were young."
[all laughing]
Look at the time. Shall we go home?
OK.
-Assalamualaikum. -Waalaikumsalam.
-I think I heard Dilan's voice. -Hang on a second.
You guys are all here.
-We were just about to leave, anyway. -Why? It's still drizzling outside.
-We've been here since after school. -Let's go.
-We'll see you later. -OK.
-Bye! -[in Sundanese] Yes, please.
-Thanks for coming. -Later, guys!
-I'm going to stay here. -OK.
-Thanks for sending Bi Asih. -You're welcome.
-Where are you going? -I'm going to walk them out.
-Do you want to make me happy? -How?
Don't go outside. It's drizzling.
Stay here with Bi Asih.
I'll walk them out, OK?
-OK. -Excuse me, Bi.
OK.
Shall we continue your massage? We were almost done.
OK.
[solemn music]
This is to keep you warm.
-Excuse me, Bi. -[in Sundanese] No problem.
-[Milea] Thank you so much, Bi Asih. -[in Indonesian] You're welcome.
-Get well soon. -Thank you, Bi.
Thank you, Dilan.
-Assalamualaikum. -Waalaikumsalam.
Kissing his hand, like a wife would her husband.
-Wish me luck, Bi. -[laughing]
-Bye. -Take care, Bi!
Hop on.
Right now I'm giving Bi Asih a lift home. But someday, it will be you.
-Are you reading my future? -I'm making you an offer.
-Excuse me, miss. -Take care!
[mellow music]
[man] The incident in Jakarta is not a big deal.
And Beni is only human. Nobody's perfect.
What Haji Rhoma Irama said is true.
"Young blood is the blood of the youth.
They never feel sorry and are very stubborn."
[laughing]
He said he's sorry, and I forgive him.
So, can you forgive him, too?
He also promised me to never do that again to you.
Um... I need time to think, if you don't mind.
Why? It's better if we settle this thing right now.
Don't rush her. She needs time to think.
[mom humming]
-Mom! -Honey.
What?
Dilan was here earlier today.
What? Did he give you another crossword book?
No. He brought me a masseuse and I got a massage, and he left.
I don't understand. He came here with a masseuse,
you got a massage, and he left?
-Yes. -He's so weird.
Now, I'm curious about Dilan.
If you were my age, would you like him?
Hmm...
-I might. -What do you mean, you might?
I might, because if he's controlling and has a temper problem,
I definitely wouldn't like him.
[gentle music]
[phone ringing]
Hello?
[Dilan over phone] Lia, I'm taking a break. I'm so tired.
-What made you so tired? -I was studying.
[Milea laughs]
-What are you laughing at? -Nothing. So what if I'm laughing?
I like hearing your laugh.
[laughs]
-Have you eaten yet? -Have I now?
[in Sundanese] Hold on. Excuse me.
Who are you talking to?
[in Indonesian] A lady who's in line behind me.
Do you want to talk to Milea?
-She said no. She's not interested in you. -Tell her, she'll be sorry.
You'll be sorry, ma'am. She's beautiful. Do you want her number, too?
I've changed my mind. Never mind, ma'am.
-Why not? -What if she fell in love with you?
But I'm a bit sad right now. She's been sick for three days.
-I'll be back tomorrow, say that. -Say that to who?
To you!
[laughs]
-I have to go. -Yeah.
Just don't forget.
-Don't forget what? -Don't forget to remember.
[laughing]
-Blow a kiss or not? -Mm...
All right.
-I'd rather not. -Why?
I'd rather give you a real kiss.
[bright music]
All right, then. Good luck with your test.
OK, bye.
[phone ringing]
-Hello? -[Beni over phone] How are you, babe?
-My name is not "Babe"! -I know, you're Lia.
I'm not Lia.
-Then who are you? -I'm just a whore.
Can you please forgive me? I said I'm sorry.
-Can we just drop it? -You're forgiven.
-Then we're still dating? -No.
But I'm nothing without you.
I don't want to be your girlfriend.
Please, Lia.
I need a man who can help me, not the other way around.
-You should take me just the way I am. -There's somebody else in Bandung.
-I knew it. You're dating him! -Who?
-That boy I saw in TVRI? -No.
-Then who? -You don't need to know who he is.
What you need to know is that I'm breaking up with you.
Bitch! You whore--
[bright music]
You're Milea, right?
-I want to read your future again. -What is it? We'll meet in the cafeteria?
No. We're going to meet again, not in the cafeteria.
-Where? -Here.
[softly chuckling]
-Hey, dude. -[in Sundanese] Agus, wait.
-[in Sundanese] What? -Take my bike.
-[in Sundanese] Why? -You can give Ravi a lift.
-All right. -Here.
-Bye. -Be careful and thanks.
[in Indonesian] Why did you let him ride your bike?
[in Indonesian] I want to walk with you. Shall we?
[gentle music]
Did you know that I've changed the name of this street?
-What's the name now? -Milea Street.
More like Milea and Dilan's Street.
Or Milea and Dilan the Fortune Teller Street.
Or Milea and Dilan the Fortune Teller Who Thought About Her Last Night Street.
-Why did you think about me? -I only think happy thoughts.
-Thinking about me makes you happy? -Happy and upset.
Because I can't stop thinking about you.
-You want to stop thinking about me? -Yeah.
Why?
I want to be near you all the time. Then I can stop thinking about you.
[bright music]
[teacher] After you write it down, read and memorize it.
[students] Yes, ma'am.
When you were on sick leave, I saw Dilan with Susi.
They were on his bike, together.
Susi?
Yeah, Susiana.
Do you know her?
We're not friends, I just know of her.
She's in the 2-Social-2 class. She's the most popular girl there.
Her father owns a jewelry store.
[bell dinging]
It's time for recess. We'll continue on after that.
[students] Yes, ma'am.
BI EEM'S FOOD STALL
-Hey, Lia. -Where's Dilan, Piyan?
-He's not here. -Do you know where he is?
You can wait for him here.
I don't know. Why are you looking for him?
It's nothing. I'd better go back to class.
Tell him I'm looking for him.
Why don't you wait for him here?
I can feed you if you want.
Hey, Lia!
Lia! Hey, honey!
[motorbikes roaring]
[suspenseful music]
[gang shouting]
[Nandan] Kids from another school are attacking! Stay here! Don't go outside!
Get out, you stupid dogs!
-Dilan! -Lia!
[angry shouting continues]
[students screaming]
Dilan!
[angry shouting continues]
[solemn music]
[rock whooshing]
[students screaming]
[police siren]
[Dilan] Lia!
-Where have you been? -Are you OK?
-Where have you been? -I was around.
-I didn't see you! -I was behind the church.
-Did you cause this? -No, I didn't. It was Anhar's fault.
-And you, too. -No, Lia.
He beat up a kid from another school.
What were you doing outside?
Lia!
I was looking for you!
Jerk!
[light dramatic music]
[teacher] They attacked our school out of nowhere.
I don't know which school they were from.
-[officer] Do you know how many? -There were so many, mostly armed.
[officer] Do you know if there are any witnesses we can question?
Hold on.
Dilan! Come here.
It's OK.
I need you to go with the police as a witness. Is that OK?
-What did the police say? -[Dilan over phone] They said I'm cute.
-I'm serious. -They said, "Don't be so serious."
I thought they were going to confine you.
Don't confine your feelings.
-Can I ask you something? -What?
Who is Susi?
She's a girl.
-Is she your girlfriend? -She wants to be my girlfriend.
I don't want her to be.
One time she came to my house and I hid in my closet.
-And then? -Hold on.
She chatted with my mom, helped her cook.
-I think she wanted my mother to like her. -And then?
-I couldn't breathe in the closet. -[laughing]
-And then? -I needed to pee.
Did you pee in the closet?
-I need to pee, like, now. -OK, go pee.
Hold on. Don't hang up.
Hello?
-Are you done? -Yeah.
-And then? -She asked me to go see a movie together.
-Did you say yes? -I did.
-Just the two of you? -Yes.
During the movie, I excused myself to the toilet.
-And I left her and went home. -Was she mad at you?
-She was. Good for me. -Why was that good for you?
She hates me now.
What if I were mad at you?
Also good for me. I'd take it as a test.
-A test to keep you happy. -I know you can do it.
-It's my job to make you happy. -Well, you did it.
I heard that you gave Susi a lift yesterday.
I did. I took her to a hospital. Her father was hospitalized.
Poor Susi.
Just because you're not in love, you don't have to hate someone, right?
-Right. -OK.
Go to sleep. Don't stay up late.
Can you help me sleep?
-I can. -How?
-I can make a list of animal names. -Name them.
One. Lizard. Two. Bear.
Three. Giraffe. Four. Tiger.
Five. Donkey.
-Six. Butterfly. Seven. Ape. -[snoring]
Eight. Monkey.
-Nine. You. -Hey!
[laughing]
-You're still awake? -I am.
Ten. Koala. Eleven. Chimp.
-Twelve. Me. -[laughing]
Don't say anything before I hang up the phone.
-OK. -Go to sleep, OK?
I'm sorry if I made you worry.
I want you to know that I never want you to worry about me.
Let me worry about you.
[bright music]
Goodnight to you too, Dilan.
-[speaker] Student Oath. -[all students] Student Oath.
In the name of God Almighty.
-This is our oath. -This is our oath.
-One. -One.
I shall have faith in God Almighty.
-Two. -Two.
I shall be faithful to Pancasila.
And the Constitution of Indonesia.
-Three. -Three.

-What did I do? -You know what you did, don't play stupid.
-Are you disrespecting me? -I'm just asking, sir.
Are you disrespecting me?
[suspenseful music]
What are you going to do?
-Dilan! -[man shouting] Ma'am, help me!
Dilan!
You asshole!
I'll wait for you in my room!
[ethereal, ambient music]
I didn't fight a teacher. I fought a man named Suripto.
You have to control yourself. You know how he is.
I don't want to control myself for a teacher like that.
My mother is a teacher, and so is my sister.
Whoever he is, if he doesn't want to respect other people,
he doesn't deserve respect in return.
[woman] I know, Dilan.
Anyone who was not involved in the incident, please leave.
If Lia leaves the room, so do I.
OK, stay.
Explain.
He dragged me by my collar. There are lots of nicer ways to warn me.
-And don't forget, he slapped me. -Maybe he wanted to prove a point.
A teacher should set an example for his pupils.
If Suripto dares to slap one of his students,
we have every right to slap him back!
[mouths silently]
OK, we're going to deal with this later.
But we have to punish you for what you did.
You're going to be suspended.
[light dramatic music]
I'm not trying to be tough, I was just defending myself.
I know, Dilan.
Forgive me.
[gentle music]
-Wati! -Yes, Lia?
-I heard Dilan's mother is here. -I'm on my way to see her.
-Can I go with you? -Of course, let's go.
There she is. Bunda!
-Hey, Wati. -Bunda.
-And who are you? -I'm Milea.
This is Milea?
Gosh, you're so pretty!
Dilan talks about you so much.
[chuckling]
Where do you live, Milea?
Batan, ma'am.
-How do you go home? -By angkot.
Today, I'll drive you home.
You too, Wati. Let's go.
But I promised Piyan to hang with him after school.
-Your boyfriend? -Yes.
All right. But I can still drive you home.
-Don't worry, it's all right. -Shall we?
-Yes. -Bunda.
-Bye, Lia. -Bye, Wati.
[Milea] Regarding Dilan,
his mother said we can't judge a teenager without knowing their life.
Dilan said you like eating dolphin meat. He's lying, isn't he?
He is, I don't eat dolphin meat. [chuckling]
What else did he say about you?
Oh, yeah, he said you have a mustache.
[laughs]
Such a pretty girl like you.
How dare him say you have a mustache. Unbelievable.
-Where is Dilan today? -He's at home.
Oh...
Does he call you Bunda?
Unless he needs money.
-What does he call you? -Bundahara.
[both laughing]
-Can I call you Bunda, too? -Of course you can.
[gentle music]
Dilan told me that... you're his girlfriend.
Oh? Did he really say that to you?
-Maybe he just thinks he's your boyfriend. -[chuckling]
I can live with that.
Are you from Bandung?
I'm from Aceh, and I followed my husband back to Indonesia.
Isn't Aceh a part of Indonesia?
[chuckling]
-I'm just kidding. -[laughing]
[Milea] I was so happy I met with Dilan's mother.
I loved chatting with her. I really loved that day.
[bright music]
-[Milea] Come in, Bunda. -OK.
-Mom! -Lia.
Hello.
-Mom! -Yes?
What is it?
-Bunda, this is my mother. -She's as beautiful as you.
-You're too kind. -I'm Dilan's mother.
I'm Milea's mother. You're pretty, too.
-And who is this? -I'm Adi, Lia's tutor.
[phone ringing]
Excuse me, I have to pick up the phone.
Let's go inside. I'll make you a drink.
I don't want to trouble you, I won't be long.
[Milea's mother] No trouble at all.
Do you know who drove me home from school?
-[Dilan over phone] Angkot? -Not an angkot.
It was someone that I love!
-Oh, Mr. Suripto? -Not him!
-It was your mother. Your Bunda. -How did that happen?
I'll tell you later.
Tell my mother not to talk about me too much.
-Too late! -Too late for what?
-We did talk about you. -What did she say?
That you told her I liked eating dolphin meat.
[laughing]
And you told her I have a mustache.
She said that you...
What?
You told her that I'm your girlfriend.
[laughing]
Dilan, I miss you.
Me, too.
-Who do you miss? -Dilan.
I thought you missed me!
It's too early for that.
-Early bloomer. -[laughing]
I'm not kidding, he shot them right there.
-I know that joke! -[mothers laughing]
-Is it OK if I give you a kiss goodbye? -Yes, that's OK.
-Is it OK? -Of course it's OK.
[gentle music]
-She's so pretty. -Thank you.
Thank you, Bunda.
Why are you crying?
I'm so happy I met you.
Come here, sweetie.
-Hi. -Good afternoon.
-Who is this? -I'm Airin.
-She's my little sister. -Gosh.
Every girl in this house is beautiful.
-You're too kind. Say thank you. -Thank you.
I'll see you later. Bye! Assalamualaikum!
[bright music]
-Thank you, Bunda! -Bye, dear!
Who is she?
-My future mother-in-law. -[both laughing]
[bright music]
[motorcycle revving]
Pull over!
Hi.
-I went to school today. -Why?
-I was looking for you. -I didn't know.
Now you know.
I predicted that you would ride on my bike with me.
-Do you remember? -I do.
-Can you help me? -With what?
-Help me make it come true. -[chuckling]
-Want to help me? -OK.
-Will you hop on, or should I make you? -Make me.
-Will you please ride with me? -What if I don't want to?
You'd be lying. You already said that you'd help me.
-All right. -Shall we?
[motorcycle revving]
-We're going to drive around. -Where?
You don't need to know. As long as we're together.
-Are we going or what? -Sure, why not?
-Wait, don't hug me. -OK, I won't.
Unless you want to.
I want to.
[Milea] It was my first time riding behind the combat commander on his bike.
I didn't know where he was taking me. I let him decide.
That's a tree.
["Dulu Kita Masih Remaja" by Pidi Baiq playing in Indonesian]
That's the sky.
That's Mang Jajang.
-Do you really know him? -No, I just call him Mang Jajang.
[laughs]
[Milea] That afternoon with Dilan, if there were a happiness meter,
I would register on it as the happiest girl in the world.
[both] Thank you.
I respect people who name their meatball soup after our heroes.
This is called "Yamin noodles," honoring our hero Muhammad Yamin.
-How about meatball soup? -Meatball soup is honoring...
-Honoring who? -Honoring today.
[laughing]
Look at that guy.
Don't stare.
He keeps holding his girlfriend's hands.
-I think he doesn't want her to disappear. -[laughing]
-Don't laugh. -Why not?
You have a cute laugh. I don't want him to like you.
I'm going to laugh. I want him to like me.
Whatever. I might end up beating him up.
-Why? -Fighting over you.
I hope you win.
["Dulu Kita Masih Remaja" by Pidi Baiq playing in Indonesian]
-For you. -Thank you.
-Save some for later. -For tomorrow?
For tonight.
Eat half here, and bring the other half home for your dinner.
-Are you serious? -I am.
OK, then.
Can I have a plastic bag please?
Thanks for the ride home.
-Whose car is that? -It's Kang Adi's.
-Kang Adi? -He's my tutor.
OK, see you later.
Lia, you're home late.
I brought you something.
[Milea's mother] Where have you been?
Kang Adi has been waiting for you for so long.
I went out with Dilan.
If you're going to be home late, you should call first.
-I know, I'm sorry. -Eat your dinner and take a shower.
Then study with Kang Adi, OK?
[bright music]
-Lia, have you heard? -About what?
Dilan's gang is going to attack another school.
Are you serious?
They're going to attack the kids who beat up Anhar.
Let's go, before Mr. Ruslan sees we're not in class.
OK.
Wati.
[both] Wati.
Will you go with me to Bi Eem's later?
-In recess? -Yeah.
[light dramatic music]
[Dilan] He's the leader of their gang. He's our main target.
-[Milea] Dilan. -Lia?
-Can I sit here? -OK.
What are you doing here?
I want to drive around with you.
-When? -Now.
-Now? -Yeah.
-We still have another class. -We can ask to leave early.
-How about tomorrow? -I want to now.
I can't right now. I have other plans.
I want to drive around with you right now.
-OK. -I'm going to get my bag. Stay here.
[Milea] There's no benefit in fighting, Dilan. It's a no-win situation.
-Where do you want to go? -Your house. I want to see Bunda.
-She works until sunset. -We can drive around to kill time.
OK.
[gentle music]
This area is owned by Kang Atep. I know him.
-So, if you want to scream, you can. -I don't want to scream.
Or if you want to say I love you, you can.
-Say it to who? -To me.
-You first. -Say it to who?
-Me, silly. -Tell you what?
-I love you! -She beat me to it!
-[in Sundanese] Excuse me. -[merchant in Sundanese] Yes?
-How much are these? -[merchant] Five hundred rupiah.
Five hundred rupiah? Hold on.
-One kilo, please. -One kilo.
This is for Nandan's girlfriend. Thanks.
-[in Indonesian] What? -[in Indonesian] Tell Nandan I said hi.
Silly!
If my mom asks us where we have been all day,
tell her that we went to Egypt.
-Why? -To mess with her.
-[laughing] -And act like you can't talk.
Why would I do that?
So my mom will ask you, "Why are you so quiet?"
-And then? -And I'll say, "I told her to."
And she'll say, "Why do you let him boss you around?"
And I'll say, "He made me do it."
And I'll be like, "I'm sorry, Bunda."
And your mom will say, "That's unforgivable."
Cursing me into a stone.
And she'll throw it into the river.
-And I'd disappear. -And I'd get so sad.
-You'd try to find the stone. -And I'd find it.
You'd carry it around with you.
-Why? -So that you wouldn't get a stomachache.
[laughing]
BEWARE OF THE DOG OWNER
[dog whining]
Bunda, there's a debt collector outside!
Come on in.
Bunda!
Wow, there's a pretty girl in my house.
-Assalamualaikum, Bunda. -Waalaikumsalam, of course.
-I missed you, Bunda. -I know. I missed you, too.
[both chuckling]
-What's that? -We bought you some groceries.
In that case, let's go to the kitchen.
-[Bunda] Bi. -Yes, ma'am?
[Bunda] Can you wash this, please?
What is Dilan's favorite food?
Dilan?
Let me think.
I think you're his favorite. [chuckling]
[phone ringing]
-Can you pick up the phone, please? -Yes, ma'am.
Hello? He's here. Hold on.
Dilan, it's for you!
-[Dilan] Who? -Anhar!
[light suspenseful music]
Hello? Yes. OK.
Mom, I have to leave. Lia, stay with my mother.
-Where are you going? -There's something I need to do.
I'll go with you!
Stay here with my mom.
I'm going with you.
All right, it can wait.
It doesn't matter. I'll go with you if you leave.
I know.
-Assalamualaikum. -Waalaikumsalam.
-Meet my sister. -Hi, I'm Disa.
Lia.
-Do you know my full name? -What?
-Disaaa! -[laughing]
-Do you want to know the longer version? -What?
Disaaaa!
[laughing]
OK, I'm exhausted after school. I'll be in my room.
Bun, bun. Bye, Bunda!
[gentle music]
[laughter]
-[Bunda] Where's Banar? -He's in his room.
Do you want me to call him or are you going to call him?
I'll do that.
-Thank you, Bunda. -Dig in.
-I'm waiting for Dilan. -Dilan!
[Dilan] I'm coming!
-Let's eat. -All right already.
-[man] I already ate in at school. -[Bunda] The more the merrier.
-Give me a small portion. -Yes.
You need to know.
This is Banar. He's Dilan's big brother.
And he has another brother. His name is Landin.
-He's not home yet. -But I thought you had five children.
My eldest daughter is a teacher. She lives with her husband now.
-Thank you, Bunda. -Here's the sambal.
Thank you, Bi.
[gentle music]
-Have some chicken, Lia. -Yes, Bunda.
[Milea] Maybe Dilan is not a perfect boyfriend. But at least he's not rude.
He always makes me laugh and smile, and motivates me to get up in the morning,
just to make sure he's still alive.
Hey.
Bunda.
[hushed] Do you want a tour of his room?
[hushed] I do, but is that OK?
Of course.
[gentle music]
There are so many books in his room.
"IN ORDER TO MAKE PEACE, WE MUST FIGHT FOR IT"
[Bunda] His room is messy.
Why don't we clean his room?
OK.
-Lia. -Yes, Bunda?
Dilan loves to write poetry.
Do you want to read them?
Is that OK?
I don't mind.
But don't tell Dilan.
[laughs]
All right, Bunda.
Sit here.
I read one titled "Milea."
Which one?
This one.
CAN I SAY SOMETHING TO YOU? IT'S ABOUT SHE WHO WALKS ON EARTH
THE DAY GOD CREATED HER I THINK HE JUST WANTED TO SHOW OFF
[gentle music]
IF YOU WERE A DESSERT, WHAT WOULD YOU BE? CHOCOLATE CAKE? CHEESECAKE? MURTABAK?
COME ON, I WANT TO ORDER YOU TONIGHT I WANT YOU - DILAN BANDUNG, 1990
I love them!
Did Dilan have a girlfriend before?
A girlfriend like you?
None like you.
If you were me and a boy wrote you poems like this,
how would you feel?
I'd thank... his mother
for showing me his poetry without his permission.
[laughing]
Thank you, Bunda!
It's late. Is your mom OK with that?
Bunda called my mom to let her know where I was while you were sleeping.
I see.
-Dilan. -Hmm?
Have you cried before?
I have. When I was a baby and wanted milk.
I mean when you were older. Have you?
-It's not hard to make me cry. -How?
If you disappear off the face of the earth.
-Did you and your bike gang plan a war? -I was with you all day and night.
If you weren't with me, would you have gone with them?
-I don't want to hear you're in any war. -OK, Lia.
Promise me you won't go with them if they plan an attack.
I promise.
Do you know what will happen if you decide to go with them?
What?
I will disappear off the face of the earth.
[romantic music]
It's Kang Adi.
I'll see you later.
I'm done.
It's finished.
So, when can I take you for a tour around my campus?
You said you'd like to see ITB.
Maybe later.
This is for you.
-What is it? -Open it.
This pashmina is expensive.
There are a lot of cheaper ones,
but you deserve the expensive one.
[clears throat]
Thank you.
So, when do you want to go? How about tomorrow?
Next Sunday?
Have you checked the answers? Are they all correct?
[phone ringing]
Hello?
-It's for you. -From who?
It's Dilan.
Excuse me. I have to take the call.
OK.
-Hello? -[Dilan on phone] Hello, Lia.
-Are you home yet? -Not yet.
Is Kang Adi still there?
Yeah. He wants to take me on a tour around ITB tomorrow.
-Like when I went out with Susi? -What do you mean?
I went out with Susi and you got jealous.
Are you jealous that I'll go out with Kang Adi?
-Jealousy is for the insecure. -So?
So, tonight I'm feeling insecure.
I'll get over it tomorrow, maybe.
I won't go with him then.
I won't keep you from going out with him.
But you're feeling insecure tonight.
I won't go with him. I promise.
-Go to bed. Don't stay up late. -You, too.
-And don't miss me. -Why not?
It's too heavy. You're not strong enough.
Let me carry it for you.
[gentle music]
By the way, can you buy me two duty stamps tomorrow?
-What for? -Just buy them for me.
-OK. -Goodnight, Lia.
-What do you need that BB gun for? -For shooting rats on the street.
Dad's is already up.
Mom's back!
Here. It's your favorite meatball soup. Bring it inside.
OK.
Morning, Dad.
-What time did you get home last night? -Around 12 o'clock.
-Assalamualaikum. -Waalaikumsalam.
-Lia. Uncle. -Kang.
I want to take Lia for a tour around my campus, the ITB.
Sure, get ready, Lia.
Sorry, but I can't.
-Why didn't you call me to make sure? -He did, but you weren't home.
And I said yes.
Go get ready.
-Can we make it a short tour? -OK.
[gentle music]
[Milea] I felt trapped in a situation where I didn't have any choice
but to go with Kang Adi.
And I prayed Dilan wouldn't find out about it.
I didn't want to upset him, because I lied to him.
-Thank you, Kang. -You're welcome, Lia.
-Miss Lia. -Yes, Bi.
-There was a phone call for you. -From who?
-Dilan. -What did you say to him?
I told him you went out with Kang Adi.
Oh my God!
[phone ringing]
-Hello? -Good afternoon, Bunda.
This is Lia. Is Dilan home?
-[Bunda] I'm sorry, he's not here. -Do you know where he went?
He didn't tell me where he was going.
I'll let him know that you called once he gets back.
-He'll call you back. -OK, thanks, Bunda.
You're welcome, sweetie.
[somber music]
[Dilan] "Milea 1."
Can I say something to you? It's about she who walks on earth.
The day God created her, I think He just wanted to show off.
Dilan, Bandung, 1990.
"Milea 2."
Tell me, if you were a dessert, what would you want to be?
A chocolate cake?
A cheese cake?
A murtabak? A croquette? A fritter?
Come on, I want to order you for tonight.
I want you.
Dilan, Bandung, 1990.
[sniffling]
[romantic music]
[Milea] I won't go with him, I promise.
Forgive me, Dilan.
[Milea] The home that Dilan and I built together
had collapsed in the blink of an eye.
I spent all day reading the poetry I copied from his notebook
when Bunda snuck me into his room.
He didn't call me again that night.
I felt ashamed for lying to him.
I wanted to see him and explain everything.
-Lia. -Piyan.
[in Sundanese] Are you controlling Dilan?
[light suspenseful music]
Do you really need to be with him all the time?
She's clingy as hell. [laughing]
What do you want from me?
-[in Sundanese] You have some nerve! -I'm talking to Anhar!
[in Sundanese] What? You're talking to me?
[in Indonesian] Let's go, Lia.
-Let's go, Lia. -I'm not finished with him.
Yeah, get her out of here. She's looking for trouble.
Don't fight!
[slapping]
[crying]
[Piyan] Lia.
[light dramatic music]
[girl] Let's go. Har?
[speaking Sundanese indistinctly]
[Rani] What happened to her?
[students] Lia.
-What happened, Lia? -[Wati] Piyan, what happened to her?
-What did you do to her? -I didn't do anything.
-She-- -She what?
It was--
Forgive me, Lia.
Why?
-What did you do to her? -[Anhar] I didn't mean to do that.
-Don't lie to me. -I said I didn't mean it.
Forgive me, Lia. I didn't mean to slap you.
[Wati] What? Did you say you slapped her?
-It was an accident! -Why did you slap her?
-Lia. -[Rani in Sundanese] You're dead meat.
-[sobbing] -Lia, will you forgive me?
Leave her alone! Get lost!
[dramatic music]
Lia, stop crying.
[Milea] I was so upset that day.
I didn't like Susi, and I hated Anhar.
[fist thudding]
[dramatic music]
[students screaming]
-[fist thudding] -[Anhar grunting]
[Anhar] Let go of me!
-[loud crash] -[high-pitched ringing]
I'm sorry, Dilan.
[dramatic music]
[in Sundanese] There's a fight outside!
[Dilan in Indonesian] You asshole!
Dilan?
[Dilan grunting]
-Dilan, stop it! -Break it up!
-He started it! -Anhar, stop!
-[Milea] Dilan! -Enough, Dilan. Enough!
Enough!
That's enough.
-That's enough, Dilan. -Calm down, Dilan. Tell me what happened.
If Anhar or even the principal ever lays a hand on Lia,
I will burn this school down to ash!
Calm down, Dilan. Sit down.
Will you calm down?
[gentle music]
Tell me what that was all about.
All clear.
Oh my God! What happened to your face? Did you have a fight?
Just a little one.
-Can you give him a drink? -What do you want?
-Just water. -OK.
-Here you go. -Drink it.
I'm going to get you some iodine for the cuts.
-I'm OK, Bi. -It's OK.
It's just some iodine. I'll be back in a few minutes.
Stay here.
[clears throat]
-Did you eat? -Not yet.
I'm asking about yesterday. Did you eat?
-No. -Aren't you hungry?
[laughing]
-Where were you this morning? -I overslept.
-And then? -I beat up Anhar.
-Here you go. -Thank you.
No problem.
-I'll be inside, it's time for praying. -Be careful.
-What could happen to me inside? -[chuckling]
Come here.
[grunting]
[groans]
-I don't think using iodine will work. -It's better than leaving them untreated.
Unless you kiss it.
-Do you want me to kiss you? -I do.
[gentle music]
-Did it work? -Instantly!
[laughing]
I came here looking for you this morning.
I wanted to explain why I went with Kang Adi yesterday.
-You don't need to. -But I lied to you.
-I don't want to upset you. -Nobody wants to be lied to.
I know. I'm so sorry.
-Do you want to go somewhere? -What do you mean?
-Do you want to go somewhere now? -Where?
-To the Religious Affairs Office? -[laughing] What for?
Just hang outside the building, warming up.
[laughing]
-Did you buy the stamps? -I did. But what do you need them for?
Just give them to me. Do you have a notebook?
I do.
Read it.
I did. I was watching you when you wrote that.
-Read it out loud. -Why don't you do that instead?
[sighs]
Declaration!
Today, Bandung, December 22nd, 1990,
Dilan and Milea hereby declare that we're officially dating.
Matters which concern perfecting the art of romance between us
will be conducted from now until the end of time.
["Kaulah Ahlinya Bagiku" by Pidi Baiq playing in Indonesian]
-Now you sign it. -Yes.
Keep it.
Are we going somewhere or something?
[yelling excitedly]
-What does that mean? -Let's go.
[laughing]
[Milea] That was my love story with Dilan, when I lived in Bandung years ago.
And tonight is another lonely night in my new home in Jakarta.
This yearning is like a drop of water in an ocean of yearnings inside my heart.
Flowing like a river, splashing like the waves.
It's unstoppable.
The feeling is so strong, living and active.
[thunder rolling]
On the streets of Buahbatu, I felt like I was on top of the world,
with Dilan, who taught me that true love has to give you comfort,
give you confidence, and support.
I don't care if you don't agree with me.
But that's Dilan.
My Dilan.
My love.
And that's it. That's all I want from him.
