Cinta Subuh (2022) Movie Script
THE MOST BURDENSOME PRAYERS
FOR HYPOCRITES TO DO
ARE THE DAWN AND EVENING PRAYERS
IF THEY WERE TO KNOW THE VIRTUE OF THEM,
THEY WOULD COME TO THEM
EVEN IF THEY HAD TO CRAWL
HADITH AL-BUKHARI AND MUSLIM
Angga.
Wake up, it's dawn already.
Are you praying too?
You haven't got your period yet?
How long has it been?
Don't count it or it won't happen.
Let's go.
Angga!
Angga!
Your alarm woke up the whole dorm.
Angga!
Angga.
May the peace and blessings of God
be upon you.
May the peace and blessings of God
be upon you.
-Hello?
-Angga, did you just wake up?
No, I woke up earlier.
-Are you coming to campus?
-I'm on my way.
On what?
It's too quiet there.
Too quiet?
I'm on my motorbike.
Hello?
Hello? I can't hear you. Hello?
Angga,
we agreed to meet in the morning.
I have something important to talk
to you about.
Yeah, I'm on my way.
I'm going to class.
Let's meet after this.
Why did you even agree
to meet in the morning?
Mira asked me to.
She wanted to tell me something.
-That's too bad.
-How come?
When a girl says
she wants to tell you something,
watch out, it can't be good.
What are you talking about?
When a girl says
she wants to tell you something,
it's not going to be good news. No chance.
"I want to talk. I'm actually
the chairwoman of the Charity Agency."
-No way!
-So what do you think it is?
I'm worried whatever it is will upset you.
Prepare yourself mentally.
I think Mira's going to dump you.
-To do what?
-Dump you. Break up, you fool.
That's ridiculous.
"I want to tell you something.
We are breaking up."
-That's what she's going to say, Angga.
-That's impossible.
I want to break up.
Are you serious?
My parents arranged a match for me.
I've tried to explain to my mom and dad
that I have you.
Mira!
Calm down, Angga.
There are so many other girls out there.
But maybe, there aren't that many
who'd be interested in you.
Well, maybe one is.
Hang on a sec, man.
It's the call to prayer.
Why don't we go to the mosque?
It's better than you moping around.
Right? It's not very manly of you.
You're not helping, Gani.
It's true! Who knows, you might find
another Mira at the mosque.
Like who? The caretaker?
Well... Do you think the caretaker
wants you?
Just drop it, all right?
I'm just kidding. Come on, let's go.
I'll walk over by myself.
That's a great idea.
No need for a chaperone to the mosque.
You can go all by yourself.
But excuse me, Angga,
the mosque is that way! Excuse me!
Angga! Hey!
Maybe I'll just block Mira
on social media.
For God's sake.
Angga, can't we just stop talking
about Mira?
We are going to pray.
And I'm doing ablution.
You do know that you have to start over
if you talk, don't you?
I'm about to do it, you know.
I'm just going to block her.
God Almighty.
Angga, they're saying the second call.
It's time to pray!
Can't you just hang on?
I'm doing ablution!
I have to do it all over again
if you talk to me!
In a minute, alright?
Now, where was I?
What if I don't block her
and end up stalking her?
God is Great. God, Have Mercy.
Glory to God. Praises be to God Almighty.
Just hold on until after we pray.
We should just pray, and maybe
you'll find someone new for you there.
Someone prettier.
You're right, we just got here
and even before we pray,
God's sent Mira's replacement already.
Hey!
God, have mercy. Angga!
Whatever, man.
You're going to hell for this!
-Excuse me.
-Yes?
May I introduce myself?
Are you a Muslim?
So to just introduce myself
I have to be a Muslim?
That's pretty arrogant for a Muslim.
So if I'm not a Muslim,
you'd consider me unclean?
If you are a Muslim,
I just wanted to remind you.
The call's been announced.
You best go to the mosque
and stand in the front row.
It's better than asking about
a girl out here.
Especially if you hold such prejudices.
I'm off to go pray now.
Let's pray first.
Next week, we'll come back.
Hey, Angga, the preacher will be the same.
Just come with me next time
to forget all about your problems.
Let's pray.
-Amen.
-I'm leaving.
-Hey, let's pray first.
-I'm going now.
-I've got to go.
-Okay.
Is there something else you need?
-I finished praying.
-So?
Angga.
Rizky Anangga Wijayanu.
Getting to know each other is not a sin,
right?
Ratih.
What's your major?
Which semester are you in?
I'm in Literature.
I'm in my last semester. My GPA is 3.5.
I'm graduating soon. Probably cum laude.
Do you often come to the mosque to pray?
-What?
-Yes, we pray at the mosque.
But I mean, do you often pray
at the campus mosque?
Is this how you usually behave?
You approach women this impolitely?
If my bristly reaction doesn't sink in,
let me clarify, I'm annoyed now.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Ratih, wait up.
Can I have your number?
Please.
If I give you my number,
you'll stop bothering me, right?
Okay.
What are you doing? Your phone.
I thought you didn't want to give me
your number.
-My phone number, right?
-Yes.
It's up to me if I reject
or ignore you later.
Remember, stop bothering me.
Okay.
Ratih.
Wait up, Ratih.
I told you, stop bothering me.
-Arya.
-Sorry to bother you.
No, not at all. I thought you
were someone else.
Right, nice to meet you. I'm Arya.
But apparently you already know my name.
Yeah, I do.
I'm Ratih.
Did you need to ask me something?
-You're Ustaz Sapta's sister, right?
-Yes, I am.
We'd like to invite him to come
next Saturday.
My friend, the coordinator,
broke his phone.
So we lost his number.
-Can I have his number, please?
-Yes, of course.
And can I have yours as well, Ratih?
Just in case I can't get through
on the Ustaz's number.
If you don't mind, of course.
I don't mind.
Well, if that's all, I have to go now.
-Excuse me. Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
-And you think this is your destiny?
-Yes, of course.
It was like love at first sight.
Angga, you're still so young.
You are only a year older than me.
That's not what I mean.
Look, you've dated lots of girls, right?
-Aren't you getting tired of it?
-What makes you say that?
Being in a relationship motivates me.
I even went to college because of Mira.
And in the end, you broke up, right?
We broke up and then God
sent me someone to take her place.
Don't just bring up God.
You rarely even do daily prayers.
You hardly ever pray at dawn.
Besides, how would you even
get in touch with her?
Watch me.
Just one click away.
Peace be upon you.
This is the Sapta Clothing Store.
What happened? Your run out of credit?
It's the number for a clothing store.
Maybe you dialled the wrong number.
No way. She typed the number in herself.
-She typed the number in herself?
-Yes.
Angga, she played you!
Like I said, there is no way
a girl wearing hijab
who prays at the mosque,
gives her number to some random guy.
It's impossible.
Angga...
She played me, for real?
I'm going to the mosque.
-Please go with Septi.
-Alright.
Ratih, someone called the store
this afternoon.
I said hello, but they hung up.
Was that you?
It wasn't me.
-Maybe a wrong number.
-Maybe.
I'm off now.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
It's Ratih. Can I come in?
Let's pray together.
I've got my period.
Hang in there.
Mom?
Have some water, Mom.
Your cough is getting worse.
It's the same as ever.
Here.
It looks like my time's almost up.
Don't say that.
Don't give up, Mom.
Don't get ahead of Allah's fate for you.
I'm not.
But, I dream about your father
all the time.
He wants me to be with him from now on.
I'm grateful to have you.
You're such a good son.
You're smart and handsome.
Just like your father.
I'm grateful I could watch you grow up
for this long.
I'm grateful for being brought up
by the best mother in the world.
Really?
Arya, you really don't have
a woman you could love?
There is someone.
Thank God.
What's her name?
Her name is Radinka Atikah Wafiah.
Her nickname is Ratih.
Such a beautiful name.
She must be pretty.
You are prettier. A little.
She is way prettier.
Is that so?
Just kidding.
So, my brothers and sisters,
it's okay to be preoccupied
with love or marriage,
but there is something
you still have to bear in mind.
Do you know what it is?
Death.
That's the row for ladies. Over here.
Watch out! Ouch!
-I'm sorry, kid.
-I'm not a kid.
-Bro? What are you, exactly?
-Whatever.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
It's okay, I'm used to it,
it's the fourth time today.
-The fourth time?
-Yes.
In that case, I'll put you on my lap.
On your lap?
Yes, so you'll be safe now
and in the hereafter.
Oh, no.
You rarely go to Islamic lectures.
Maybe I could meet a pretty girl.
Come on, let's do more good deeds.
Where are you off to, Ustaz?
Yeah, as usual, just picking up my wife,
for a doctor appointment.
-Is she sick?
-Thank God, no, she isn't.
We're just being tested a little.
Right, Ustaz, your sister goes to
this college too, right?
-Ratih?
-Yeah.
-You two know each other?
-She's my junior.
Oh, by the Grace of God.
Then, come visit us sometime.
I'll introduce you to our small family.
God willing, Ustaz. God willing.
I'm sorry, Arya. I have to go now, okay?
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
You can make your own way home, right?
Of course.
I can get an online taxi or bus.
-But please be careful.
-Of course.
Keep in touch.
You too, take care and keep in touch.
Okay.
-Go straight home, don't go anywhere.
-Got it. Bye.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
You moron, what the...
-Gani, can you get off the bike?
-What do you mean? This is my bike.
Please, Gani. I need to borrow your bike
just this once.
-You're my friend, right?
-Alright then.
-Your helmet.
-Fine.
-Quickly, please.
-You're borrowing my bike and my helmet.
-You owe me lunch, okay?
-Okay.
Oh man. Where's my ride? It's not coming.
Peace be upon you, Ratih.
It is obligatory that you reply.
Greetings.
Did you go to the Islamic lecture?
Why haven't you gone home yet?
What are you doing here?
Good afternoon, miss.
Are you Ratih? I'm your online taxi.
Don't be silly.
I was at the lecture too.
So you went there too?
If I want to join an Islamic lecture,
is there a certain criteria?
Hey, Ratih.
Of all over 3,000 students on campus
and as many days and places,
we keep meeting.
-Don't you think you're special?
-No, I don't.
That's good.
So if you're not so special,
you don't have to brush me off.
Just act normally.
Just like when you meet your friends.
I don't have any bad intentions.
If you can't get an online taxi,
why not just take the bus?
I wouldn't still be here
if I had any cash on me.
I have two helmets.
This area is scary at night.
Yesterday, I heard there was a girl
waiting here alone at night.
Suddenly she heard a really loud sound.
Turns out the source
of the sound was right behind her.
When she turned around...
someone had fallen into the ditch.
That's not funny.
But it's true.
You're better off with me
than being here alone.
I'll take you home.
Are you sure you don't want to?
Alright then, I'm leaving.
Be careful.
Hey.
This is just because my battery's dead.
Put your bag in between us
so it will be safe.
You don't have to touch me. Here.
-What if it starts raining or something?
-It won't. I guarantee it.
It's fine. Let's go.
This is because you're too cocky.
"No, it won't rain."
"It won't" And look, it's raining.
And I even brought the onion and chili,
you know.
See?
What? You still believe in all that?
Don't be like that, Ratih.
We have to be grateful
that we can find shelter.
Let's get a drink. Hot tea or something.
This is going to take a while. My treat.
I can pay for it myself.
You can't even pay for the bus.
How are you going to pay for a drink?
It's okay, I'll buy your drink.
I'll pay you back.
Peace be upon you.
So Ustaz Sapta is your older brother?
Yes, he's my brother.
-Can I help you? You called me over?
-What?
We didn't call you over.
I see your drinks
are almost finished, and no snacks.
Don't you want to order more?
-Alright then, one coffee.
-Ah, that's better.
-One coffee with milk.
-One coffee with milk.
And how about you, miss? Anything else?
What snacks do you have?
We have plenty snacks on the menu.
Just put the menu down.
Don't touch her, she's not your wife.
-I'm sorry.
-What are you doing? You're overreacting.
So what have you got?
For snacks, we have french fries
and fried potato.
But that's the same thing.
Yeah, that's all we have.
Alright, we'd like that.
Okay then.
I'll leave you two.
Thank you.
-Ouch! Help!
-What's wrong?
-Please take a look.
-There's nothing there.
I've got you in my eyes.
What's up with you?
Don't move.
Why not?
I love you.
Come on. Can you stop kidding around?
I'm sorry. I'm just lightening the mood.
You are so weird.
See, it's nice to smile.
Aren't you tired of frowning all the time?
I only frown at you.
Why are you smiling like that?
Don't smile like that.
But miss, I have to smile.
It is the standard here.
I wasn't talking to you. It's him.
-She was talking to me.
-So, you're not talking to me?
I thought you were.
-Here is your coffee.
-Coffee with milk.
And your french fries.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
-Enjoy.
-Thank you.
Ratih, I want to reintroduce myself.
Rizky Anangga Wijayanu.
Angga.
Ratih. Radinka Atika Wafiah.
Is there something wrong with my name?
Our initials are the same.
R. A. W.
You really don't think
we're destined to be together?
What are you talking about?
I'm serious.
If I spell it out, you'll agree.
-Go on.
-First, our initials are the same.
And also,
we greet each other the same way.
Now, we are sitting in the same place.
If that's not destiny,
I don't know what is.
What are you talking about?
You're talking nonsense!
But it's true, right? That's how it is.
That's ridiculous!
The rain's stopped. I'll take you home.
Aren't we going to pray first?
I'll pray at home after I drop you off.
This place has a prayer room too.
We'll take turns. You first and then me.
-Let's do it later.
-Just pray now, Angga.
Okay.
Why hasn't Ratih turned on the lights?
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you.
Ratih?
Ratih?
Ratih?
She isn't home yet?
When you left her on her own,
what was her plan?
She was coming home on her own, right?
Yes, but she should have been home by now.
It's 8 PM.
How come she isn't home yet?
What's she thinking?
Alright, just stop here. Stop.
Where's your house?
It's over there.
It's quite far away.
Why are you getting off here?
My brother's strict about
some random guy trying to get close to me.
I'm not just some random guy.
I'm his brother-in-law-to-be.
-Remember that.
-What are you talking about?
-Here you go.
-You're welcome.
-I didn't say thank you.
-Yeah, say it then.
Thank you.
And don't forget to give a 5-star rating.
May I have your real phone number?
So now you think
since you succeeded in taking me home
that I'll give you my real number?
Just kidding. Give me your phone.
You're scary when you joke around.
Don't give me another fake number.
Remember, a good relationship
is built on honesty.
-Who's building a relationship?
-I am.
Here you go.
Thank you.
-Alright, then. I've got to go.
-Okay.
-Take care.
-Okay.
-Don't forget to do the evening prayer.
-Of course, I'll remember.
Don't just remember.
You really have to do it.
Okay, noted, Miss Ratih.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
You weren't with a guy, right?
No, what do you mean? You're accusing me?
I'm not accusing you.
I'm just making sure.
No.
Alright. I'll sort myself out,
then check in with Septi.
-What's your name?
-Dodi Qori Pratama, sir.
Actually I'm quite busy this morning.
And since you arrived unannounced,
we're not ready for visitors.
Next time, if you want to come visit,
please tell us beforehand.
Yes, sir. I'm sorry.
So what brings you here?
-Sir, I...
-What are you doing? Go over there.
Yes, Dad.
I want to propose
to your daughter, Aghnia.
Aghnia, why haven't you told me
someone wants to propose to you?
I don't know him.
She doesn't know you. What's going on?
I spoke to her once, a long time ago.
Maybe she doesn't remember it.
But I'm sure, sir. I want to
start a family with your daughter, Aghnia.
Yeah, I see.
Well I'm also sure
that my daughter doesn't know who you are.
That's why I'm introducing myself now.
By the way, where do you know her from?
I met her at...
But this is a workshop
for large bike modifications.
-I'm sorry.
-What's the matter?
Her bike has problems.
She wants to have it fixed here.
Alright. I'll take care of it.
You can go back to work.
Okay.
What's wrong with the bike?
I don't know. It won't start.
I thought the battery was dead
but it won't start manually either.
-Okay, I'll take a look at it.
-Sure.
Is she your sister?
Yes, she is.
Here's my address and my phone number.
If there are any issues,
please let me know.
-You want to leave your bike here?
-Yes, I'm in a hurry.
-I'm sorry.
-Hey, miss!
Ma'am, I'm leaving.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Someone so pretty left her sister alone?
Kids are impolite these days.
No, on the contrary. She's really polite.
She's not my sister.
She got off the bus because she saw me
pushing this bike alone.
She helped me push the bike
a really long way.
-How far?
-From the bus station.
That was when I fell in love
with your daughter, Aghnia.
Do you remember that?
I do vaguely.
But yes, I remember.
From what I can see,
your intentions are good.
You're asking to get married immediately?
But you don't know her full character yet.
Well, I know that nobody's perfect.
But, God willing,
I believe that Aghnia and I
will complete each other.
That's a pretty good answer.
Okay then.
You make a good first impression.
Quite pleasant.
But I have something to ask.
If you don't mind?
Please, sir.
What time did you do
the dawn prayer today?
Praises to God, I did it on time, sir.
-And where did you pray?
-At my dorm.
What a shame.
On time, but not at the mosque.
I'm still not used to it, sir.
Alright. I have three conditions
you must meet
before I allow you to marry her.
The first one
is getting your parents' blessing.
The second one,
is my blessing as her father.
The third is Aghnia must want
to marry you.
If you're reliable, do the dawn prayer
at the mosque
for 40 consecutive days,
starting tomorrow.
-How's the workshop?
-All good, thank God.
I'm going to bed now.
Tomorrow I want to do the
dawn prayer at the mosque.
-Are you coming too?
-Send everyone my regards.
-Have you done the evening prayer?
-Of course I have. Why?
I thought you hadn't.
I was going to invite you.
-What is it?
-You don't usually do it.
I do now. I made a promise to an angel.
Angga. Which angel did you
make a promise to now?
You should only make promises to God.
-I want to test your faith.
-What?
-You asked me to go pray together.
-And?
-What do you say before evening prayers?
-That's easy.
"I intend to pray this evening prayer
four rak'ahs..."
"Four rak'ahs..."
Angga...
-See you.
-That is right, isn't it? Four?
Dodi, that is right, isn't it?
"I intend to pray for this evening prayer
four rak'ahs..."
See? I was right.
I was right. You're so rude.
ONLINE THIS LATE? THAT'S NOT LIKE YOU
WAITING UP FOR ARYA, HUH?
Oh, come on.
WHAT?
YOU WERE SEEN ON THE BACK OF A GUY'S BIKE
BUSTED! IT WAS ARYA'S RIGHT?
WHO SAW THAT?
I DID! LOL
Oh, my God.
Peace be upon you. Are you there yet?
Peace be upon you too. What do you mean?
Who is this?
This is Arya.
Are you waiting for a call?
Well, no...
So...
I just wanted to thank Ustaz Sapta.
I called him but he didn't pick up.
Maybe he's asleep.
Alright, then.
I'm sorry to bother you this late.
Thank you.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
She's got a nice voice.
What am I doing?
I want to get well soon.
So that I can propose to Ratih with you.
God willing, you'll get better.
-God willing.
-Amen.
PEACE BE UPON YOU, RATIH. IT'S ANGGA
WAIT, THIS IS RATIH, RIGHT?
PEACE BE UPON YOU TOO
NO, THIS IS A CLOTHING STORE
SO IT IS RATIH THEN!
NO, IT'S NOT!
WERE YOU WAITING FOR ME TO CONTACT YOU?
YOU WISH!
WHAT ARE YOU TYPING? YOU'RE TAKING AGES!
SEE? YOU ARE WAITING
I'M GOING TO BED NOW
THANKS FOR YOUR REAL NUMBER
SEE YOU TOMORROW. PEACE BE UPON YOU
Peace be upon you too.
What are you doing here?
Peace be upon you, Ratih.
Peace be upon you too.
What are you doing here?
I wanted to pick you up.
I'm on my own bike.
Alright then, I'll follow behind you.
-We'll ride together.
-What do you mean?
Go on then, open the gate.
I'm the second child.
My parents passed away.
They died at the same time in an accident.
That's why at home I often feel lonely.
-That's why meeting me was right for you.
-How so?
My friends say that I liven things up.
So be with me
and you won't be lonely anymore.
You're always saying things
that don't make any sense.
Ratih, if I want to date you,
what should I...
I don't date.
Alright then, be your husband.
Do you have any ideal type?
He definitely has to do
the daily prayers without skipping any.
That's all? Piece of cake.
It's not that easy.
Just try doing the dawn prayer
at the mosque.
It's hard. Especially for a guy like you.
What do you know?
Hey, I went on three
short religious retreats in junior high.
Don't get me wrong.
-Peace be upon you, Dodi.
-Peace be upon you too.
I'm sorry to show up unannounced.
I just want to check something.
I heard why you want to marry me.
But when you went to my house,
you didn't ask my opinion.
Why not?
About that, your father gave me
some conditions.
I want to fulfill his conditions first.
After that, I'll be allowed to ask you.
That's what I mean.
What happens if you meet
all the requirements my father gave you,
but I don't accept your proposal?
I'll be really sad, obviously.
But it's okay.
That time at your house,
I was prepared for rejection.
But, I'm sure
that I can pass this test.
And only I can do it.
That is, if we're meant to be together.
Peace be upon you.
Peace be upon you too.
-Just a sec. Please help yourself.
-Okay.
-How are you?
-I'm good, praises to God.
-What's up?
-I'm paying for the tires you changed.
Don't bill me when I'm dead.
It's okay, take it easy.
You look cheerful. What changed?
Dodi, I've got to go.
Don't forget about the 40 days.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
-Forty days? Who died?
-It's nothing.
If you say it's nothing, it's something.
That's why you're so happy.
Are you getting married?
That's what you should do.
You're good looking
and your business is doing well.
You are well off now.
Invite me to your wedding.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Are you new here?
Me?
Yes. This is my first time here.
How did you know?
This is the first time I've seen you here.
So you're a regular here at dawn?
Only when I stay here overnight.
My mom is being treated
in a hospital nearby.
I hope she gets well soon.
-And you are...
-Arya.
I'm Dodi, nice to meet you.
I'm off now.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Mom.
It looks like my time is up soon.
Don't say that.
Don't give up, Mom.
No.
But...
I dream about your father all the time.
He wants me to be with him from now on.
I'm grateful to have you.
You're such a good son.
You're smart and handsome.
Just like your father.
I want to get well soon.
So that I can propose to Ratih with you.
God willing you will get better.
-God willing.
-Amen.
Hello?
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Peace be upon you too.
Thank you.
Just let me know
if you need anything, Arya.
Don't hesitate.
Thank you, Ustaz.
Actually, my mom had a last request.
But I can't do it alone.
It reminds me of my own parents.
I still remember the sadness
when they passed away.
It reminds me how lonely I was...
I'm happy that you called me.
Ratih, do you want to be my girlfriend?
-You know I'm not interested in dating.
-That's not what I meant.
I've never seen a guy like this before.
I don't have any bad intentions.
Listen to me.
It's better than we do this
without any status.
We are comfortable with each other, right?
I don't understand why I felt lonely
-and then I contacted you...
-I love you, Ratih.
I don't want to date, Angga.
This is what I mean.
I have my final exams soon and so do you.
We can get married afterwards.
What do you think?
What's wrong with Ratih?
-Did you tell her about Arya?
-Not yet.
Arya wanted to tell her himself. Why?
This guy. Such a pain.
Angga!
Me and Ratih are together now!
-You mean, dating?
-No, not just dating.
We're getting married.
I promised I'd marry her after I graduate.
You're crazy! Don't make crazy promises.
Don't upset someone who's really happy.
I'm happy now.
Don't be daft.
She's the Ustaz's little sister.
She's an orphan. Don't mess her around.
I won't mess her around.
I made a promise to her.
What promise?
"I'll do my final exams soon
and so will you."
You're out of your mind.
"We're getting married afterwards."
What do you think?
Ratih, what do you think?
Okay. I'll marry you.
Seriously?
Yeah!
But I've got six rules we have to follow.
What are they?
-Peace be upon you, pretty girl.
-Peace be upon you too, ugly.
So salty.
Let's go. My brother might see us.
Okay.
High five!
Do you want to break up?
First rule,
no physical contact whatsoever.
I was just kidding.
-Where are you going?
-Over there.
Ratih!
-That's a lot.
-Yeah.
This is enough.
Second rule. While we are together,
no excessive spending.
I usually buy this much.
Not with me, you don't.
Put them back.
Angga.
Third rule.Never miss a daily prayer.
Hi.
You two again.
What are you two doing?
-Writing your thesis?
-Yep.
Do you want to finish your studies soon
-so you can get married quickly?
-Yes, why wait?
Fourth rule, we have to be productive
especially with our studies.
We have to graduate quickly.
Thank God.
I pray for you to get it done quickly.
-Amen.
-To get married soon.
-And your kids will look like me.
-Amen...
No? Not like me? Okay, then. No worries.
-So, one french fries?
-Yes.
It's Arya.
Fifth rule. Do not let anybody come
between us.
Remember, our goal is to get married.
So you have to be faithful.
Maybe it's important.
If it's important
he'd just send a message.
Or, you let me call my female friends
who I used to fancy?
Oh, is that a threat, huh?
Alright, I won't answer it.
-Reject the call.
-There you go.
Wait.
You said there are six rules.
What's the sixth rule?
The sixth rule is...
our relationship is a secret.
So no one else is allowed to know.
So, if no one knows, what about us then?
Well, actually, there's one exception.
Just for Harsi and Tari. You can know.
You two are my best friends.
How sweet!
But it also means that
Angga has his exceptions too.
That's why we're here.
We're meeting his friend.
His name is Gani.
Hurry up.
Hang on, I want to look good.
Maybe Ratih's got a pretty friend.
-You said you don't want to date?
-I don't want to date.
I want to get married right away.
Are you serious?
Do you even have any money?
I have a successful business
selling hijabs.
I bought my own bike with that money.
Excuse me, I'm a soon-to-be-rich man!
-A guy selling hijabs.
-You got a problem with that?
Here they come.
Where are they going?
I don't know.
What's the pretty girl's name, Angga?
Which one?
Come here.
-That one.
-Which one?
The one with the veil.
She's wearing a veil.
How can you tell if she's pretty?
From her eyes, Angga.
-She's got beautiful eyes?
-Windows to the soul!
-Get real, man.
-Hey, excuse me. What's her name?
That's Harsi. Come on!
May peace, compassion,
and blessings of God be upon you.
May peace, compassion,
and blessings of God be upon you too.
The others didn't answer.
Only Harsi did.
-So you're Sundanese?
-I just have the accent.
I'm actually an Arab.
I'm sorry.
There's something wrong with him.
There's nothing wrong!
I can see how beautiful Harsi is.
This is how it affects me.
But now I need to make a decision.
On what?
Can I ask you something?
Harsi, do you have someone
in mind for marriage yet?
Oh, for God's sake.
No, I don't. Why?
Because it is unlawful
to approach a betrothed woman.
-And Harsi, can I have your number please?
-Hey.
No, you can't.
You think we're having
a matchmaking event?
We're here for introductions.
Hey, you spectre.
Please watch your attitude.
Have some self-control.
I was speaking and you interrupted.
Who asked for her phone number?
I was asking her house number
and her parents' phone number.
So I can tell them my good intentions.
-Are you serious?
-I am.
Harsi covers herself this way.
She deserves to be respected.
So, can I come to your house? Please?
Yes, you may.
Praises to God.
Praises to God.
Your friend is so funny.
Hey.
I'm grateful I came with you today.
I met a beautiful angel today. What a day!
This is crazy!
We've been friends for so long
and only now I get a benefit.
You were Sundanese and now you're Arab?
What's wrong? You don't like it?
Whatever.
Congratulations.
Can I have a sip? Gani drank mine.
Are you serious about going
to her parents' house?
Of course I am!
I just did all the prayers and stuff.
What do you think about Angga?
I think the rules
are just your way to try and trick God.
That's not it.
You're asking for my opinion
and not for approval, right?
What do you think?
Sapta is your guardian.
So you two have to meet up
with him and come clean.
So do you think that
your friends are right?
I think we've made a mistake.
-Because we are dating?
-So you don't think it's wrong?
Don't answer my question with a question.
I'm confused, you know.
It's making my head spin.
Besides, you broke our rules.
Which one? I obey them all.
-The prayers?
-I swear, I haven't skipped a single one.
-The dawn prayer?
-I do even if I'm late, Ratih.
-What time?
-Whenever I wake up, at seven or eight.
The sun is up then,
doesn't count as dawn prayer!
I'm tired.
I'm tired of trying to wake you up
at dawn every day.
And for what?
You don't even answer.
You reject my calls.
Sometimes your phone's off.
How can you make a good husband?
So now what do you want from me?
I want you to change.
Do the dawn prayer right.
Live a disciplined life.
And then go to my house
and propose to me.
So now you can't wait to get married?
Who said I can't wait to get married?
Angga, you're the one who wanted
to marry me!
You want to keep dating for ages? I don't.
-Okay.
-Okay, what?
Okay, I'll change.
Amen. I hope you really mean that.
What's that?
This is my requirement
for getting married.
The marriage requirement
is the dawn prayer?
-Your father-in-law-to-be is very unique.
-Yeah, he is.
By the way, are you with anyone, Arya?
Not yet.
-But you have someone in mind, right?
-Yes, God willing.
But it looks like
she belongs to someone else.
Oh, dear God. You mean she's married?
No.
You misunderstood.
Don't do anything if she's married.
That's a sin.
But you said she belongs to someone else.
I saw her with a male friend
at a cafe near campus.
-What were they doing?
-I don't know.
But it's clear that they're together.
That's just an ill assumption, Arya.
Come on. Trust in God
and then go visit her guardian.
Do it the right way.
God willing,
it will all turn out all right.
So it's positive?
Praises to God, I'm two weeks late.
And the line is clear now.
Thank God, I'm so happy.
But you still have to pray.
And don't get too tired.
Yes, honey.
What was it it like when you
fell in love with my brother?
You've never asked about
that kind of thing before.
-Are you in love?
-You have to know?
It's okay for your brother to know.
You're not telling me?
You brother was the first man
to come to me
and express his feelings.
And then he asked me to marry him.
At the time I was just starting
to study religion.
I remember what my father said.
My father said if a pious man comes to you
and asks you to marry him,
you should just say yes.
And avoid attracting
the wrong assumptions.
But how did you know he was a pious man?
If he wasn't pious,
he would have asked me out.
Ratih, you're not dating anyone, right?
No, I'm not.
That's good.
-Dating is just a waste of time.
-Don't say that.
It's true though.
Dating is a step toward adultery.
Why do it?
But that doesn't mean everyone
who's dating does bad things.
But if they aren't doing anything.
then why date at all?
-Dating the Islamic way?
-Just think positive.
Maybe they needed motivation
to go to the college,
motivation to do assignments.
It's better if you don't.
It's giving the devil a chance
to lure you.
They're always trying
to tempt humans to sin.
Where are we going?
-To the right.
-To the right?
So, after leaving campus
we can only turn right
and not turn left at all.
-Until the end of our journey.
-What if we got lost?
It's okay, as long as I'm with you, Ratih.
I'm ready to go anywhere.
You're so cheesy.
Okay.
He's smart, but...
But what?
It's okay, honey. You're very attentive.
Oh come on, Ratih.
OFFICE OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS
Ratih, I want to fulfill my promise.
But I can't come to your house yet.
I can't propose to you yet.
I haven't even graduated.
But I'm really serious.
I want you to be my wife.
Angga.
Please take the ring.
I'm getting tired of holding onto it.
-Just stop sweet talking me.
-Stop staring at it.
You need to wash it first.
It's a prize from a snack.
You...
Thank you.
You're welcome, Ratih.
So what do you say?
Ratih?
What?
She's zoning out.
Why are you zoning out?
Ratih...
-Please.
-Thank you.
Arya has come all the way here.
You live far away, right?
-It's quite far, Ustaz.
-See?
Amazing.
He came at dawn to do the prayer together
at our mosque.
He has such good intentions.
He wants to propose to you.
Ratih, please answer him.
-Have a drink, please.
-Thank you.
Ratih, he's a pious man.
We know him well.
He's also come at the best time.
What else could you ask for?
Time.
I need some time. Is that okay?
What do you think, Arya?
Take as much time as you need, Ratih.
Ratih, please stop sulking.
I fell asleep late
because I was writing my thesis.
Juventus won last night, right?
You know about that?
Thesis?
You're out of your mind.
-I was doing both.
-Doing both?
Ratih, I'm sorry.
How long are you giving me
the silent treatment?
Ratih, please say something.
Don't just sit there.
Ratih!
-I want us to break up.
-Ra...
You don't follow our rules, Angga.
-How? I'm trying, Ratih!
-You are not trying hard enough.
I don't see you trying at all.
Are we breaking up
because I don't do the dawn prayer?
-The dawn prayer is important.
-I know, all prayers are important.
-Good thing you know.
-Give me a chance, Ratih.
Arya came to my house at dawn today.
He came all the way to pray
at the mosque in my neighborhood.
And then he came to my house
and proposed to me.
So that's why we're breaking up?
-Because you don't keep your promises.
-Ratih!
We should never have started dating
in the first place.
-Wait, Ratih.
-Let me go, Angga.
Give me a chance, Ratih.
First rule, no physical contact.
Ratih!
Go inside.
-Ratih!
-Leave!
-Ustaz...
-I said leave!
-I just want to...
-Don't make any more trouble here.
Ratih!
Ratih!
Be honest with me.
Were you dating him all this time?
Answer me!
It doesn't matter now. We broke up!
God, have mercy!
So you've been lying to me all this time?
You've betrayed my trust!
What have you done with him?
-Answer me!
-What do you mean?
Did I have to do anything?
-I've never...
-You've never what? You have sinned!
You disgraced our family!
And you dare speak to me like that!
I didn't disgrace this family!
You don't know that! You have no idea!
No one knows me at all!
No one actually cares about me!
Open the door!
You made a mistake and you're angry?
Open the door, Ratih!
I said, open the door! Ratih!
-Open the door!
-Calm down, honey.
I can't! She must be punished!
Ratih! She has to learn that she is wrong!
Please calm down, honey!
-Honey, calm down.
-I seek forgiveness from God.
Ratih?
Can I come in?
I'm sorry I took
your brother's attention off of you.
It's alright.
You've done nothing wrong.
I should be the one apologizing.
I felt comfortable around him.
I know I was wrong.
I know there's no such thing
as Islamic dating.
I thought he wanted to try
to be a good husband for me.
I tried to remind him all the time.
But it's difficult.
And now it hurts so much.
Then you should heal it by praying.
Read the Qur'an more often.
It will make you feel calmer.
If that doesn't work,
do more acts of worship.
The midnight prayer, and fast.
Okay?
Ask for the best from God.
Not for what we think is good for us.
Angga!
Angga!
Angga!
You lazy boy!
Aren't you surprised to see me here?
I'm used to it.
Come on, wake up.
I have news for you.
Sit up.
Here.
What's this?
Open it up.
Very nice.
Are you serious? Isn't this too sudden?
Getting married is not a matter
of too fast or too slow.
It's a matter of being ready.
I'm ready. Harsi is ready.
You're the only one who's never ready.
I don't get it.
-You just don't try hard enough.
-What else can I do, Gani?
You just need to put more effort
into doing the dawn prayer.
I can't even get through to Ratih now.
Your worship is for God. And for yourself.
Not for other people.
Why are you on the wrong purpose?
My problem is alarms don't work with me.
Fine, then. Now's the time
to try the human alarm.
What?
LIST OF ACTS OF WORSHIP
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Come in.
You always go to the dawn prayer, right?
So what?
Angga.
It's dawn already, Angga.
The prayer starts soon.
Where is he?
I left the key in the box,
just in case I don't wake up.
Angga! Wake up!
Angga! Wake up, Angga!
It's dawn.
Angga.
Wake up, Angga.
Angga, wake up, it's dawn!
Angga, wake up, let's pray.
In the name of God.
-What are you doing?
-Wake up, it's dawn.
Hey, what are you doing?
You said you wanted to wake up at dawn.
If you can't even wake up early,
how could you raise a family?
It's about to start.
Please, Dodi, you have to wake me up.
I want to do the dawn prayer on time.
In the name of God.
In the name of God.
May the peace, compassion,
and blessings of God be upon you.
May the peace, compassion,
and blessings of God be upon you.
Dodi, I did tell you to wake me up.
But that's not what I meant.
Because of you I missed
the prayer at the mosque.
I'm sorry.
So you didn't pray
at the mosque on the last day.
No, sir.
-Why? Did you oversleep?
-No, sir.
My friend asked me to wake him up
to do the dawn prayer together.
But it was very difficult waking him up.
Why didn't you just leave him?
You were fulfilling my requirements.
I wanted to do that, sir.
I wanted to leave him.
But this friend of mine,
it isn't like him to do the dawn prayer.
And I was going to lie
and write that I did it.
But after I thought about it...
What good are good intentions
if I start off with a lie?
And your friend? Did he wake up and pray?
Yes, he did, praise God.
-So what do you think, Aghnia?
-What about it, Dad?
It's a yes from me.
I give you my blessing.
-Really, sir?
-I'm not lying.
Should I pinch you?
So that you're convinced it's real?
If I may ask, I failed
at meeting your condition.
So, why do you still accept me?
If you failed because you overslept,
I wouldn't give you my blessing, son.
But because you were waking up
a fellow Muslim to pray before Allah...
I think I'd be wrong to not accept you.
It's about to start. Hurry up!
Come on, Angga! Hurry!
Hurry up!
Angga, wake up. It's dawn.
Shut up, will you?
Let's go. It's about to start.
Thank you very much, ma'am.
-Thank you.
-You did well.
Ananda Gani Iskandar
son of Miftah Husein Rahmat,
I give my daughter to you in marriage,
Sinantia Dwi Harsi
daughter of Ahmad Fauzi,
with the dowry agreed upon.
I accept your daughter, Sinantia Dwi Harsi
daughter of Ahmad Fauzi
in marriage, with the dowry agreed upon.
-Do the witnesses agree it's official?
-It's official.
Praises to God.
-Congratulations, Auntie!
-Thank you.
Building a pyramid.
Let's take a picture. Are you ready?
One more time.
One more time. One, two
One more time.
One, two, three.
-Peace be upon you, Angga.
-Peace be upon you too.
-How are you?
-I'm good.
Cool.
So how's the newlywed couple?
Oh, don't be jealous, man.
Everything comes in time, Angga.
-I'm trying not to hold her hand.
-Don't give me that.
It's true. I said don't be jealous!
Isn't that right, Habibah?
-Habibah? Isn't her name Harsi?
-Habibah means my love.
Oh, I see.
Hang on.
You didn't come here
just to make me jealous, right?
Ratih asked me to give this to you, Angga.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Yeah?
I need to talk to Ratih.
Do you mind waiting outside?
What about?
You can do whatever you want
after the ceremony.
It won't be long.
Don't take long, it's bad luck.
Okay.
Are you really sure?
At graduation...
I saw the way you looked at Angga.
You never look at me like that.
And I saw the way Angga looked at you.
That is not a look I can give you.
A look as sincere and pure as that.
And there's something else...
There's something I can't explain.
What are you trying to say?
Yesterday, I met Angga.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Angga,
you may have already heard of me.
I'm Arya. Ratih's fiance.
Angga.
-Do you want something to drink?
-No, thanks.
I thought you were going to say
that you're Ratih's ex-boyfriend.
You knew about that, huh?
That's why you asked to meet?
Did Ratih send you the invitation?
It's tomorrow, right? Congratulations.
I'm happy for you two.
About that...
I don't want you to come to our wedding.
Your relationship with her is over.
If you come,
what's closed could be reopened.
And a new chapter
in your relationship could start.
You mean you think I'll
take her away from you?
Yes, maybe that's how to put it.
So you don't trust Ratih?
I don't trust you.
Alright, I won't come to the wedding.
What?
You thought I'd insist on coming,
didn't you?
Yes.
That's how it usually goes, right?
Arya,
I still love Ratih, honestly.
Even now.
I wanted to go.
So that when I see you
and Ratih side by side,
I'd stop loving her.
But if my presence would get in the way
of the happiness
she gets by marrying you,
then in that case, I won't go.
Because I don't want to stop her
from being happy.
Ratih,
could you really
marry someone you don't love?
-Arya...
-I can't do this.
I love myself more than I love you.
I'm marrying you
just to make me happy.
No.
I'm so sorry.
It's not your fault, Ratih.
In less than an hour,
Islamic rules will allow me
to wipe your tears.
And God would want me to hold you.
But I'm sure that
it wouldn't wipe away your sadness.
Because it's not me that you pray for.
You don't have to worry.
I will explain everything to our family
and to all the guests.
Arya.
I'm sorry.
Arya...
Love is unique.
It can't be forced upon anyone,
even though it's worth fighting for.
Happiness is not guaranteed
if it doesn't comefreely and sincerely.
In the end,
love is not something that you win.
It's not a prize in some competition.
It's greater than that.More precious.
So that when we feel love,
every description of it
pales in comparison.
Sometimes I still think about Arya.
Alright, just stop bringing him up.
Look, your wife
is in the last term of her pregnancy.
Yeah, it's just because he's a good man.
No wonder I think of him a lot.
-Do you want some fruit?
-Yes. Apples, please.
Yeah, it's me who isn't good enough.
-I'm the one not ready to get married.
-Why are you sulking?
Don't you want to get married?
How old are you?
Of course I do.
But who would be the groom?
I have a student.
He's mature and well established.
He could be the right man for you.
He's suitable for you,
since you're still maturing.
-What do you mean?
-It's...
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Peace be upon you too.
Looks like he's here.
Why don't you go get
some drinks and snacks?
Are you serious?
I'll get the door. Just a moment.
Hey!
What is this? Why so sudden?
You go and prepare the drinks
and the snacks.
So how about my sister, Mr. Rofiq?
Praises to God, she's just like
how you described her.
Praises to God.
Ratih, isn't it?
I have been a widower for three years.
Sorry, but I'd like to ask you something.
What would your ideal husband be like?
He has to be religious,
with a good moral compass.
-Praises to God.
-Why do you ask?
I just want to make sure I'd qualify.
Do you cook, Ratih?
I do, but just the basics.
As long as you can do instant noodles.
Instant noodles are a luxury
in many shelters.
I'm sorry, just one more thing.
If your husband were a widower,
would that bother you, Ratih?
Usually, if there's no answer,
that means yes.
And what if your husband
drools in his sleep?
Well, I couldn't do anything about it.
What if he snores?
Brother...
Oh my God. I almost forgot, Mr. Rofiq.
Where's the man we're talking about?
Right. I forgot.
Excuse me. I'll get him.
How'd I get so carried away?
What is going on?
I don't want to do this.
Hey kid, do you want her or not?
If not, I'll have her myself!
Such a nice girl!
Come on!
Whatever.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Peace be upon you too.
Angga?
I accept your daughter,
Nyimas Khadijah Nastiti Adinda
daughter of Kemas Syafei Herman
in marriage with the dowry agreed upon.
Sir!
Mr. Arya!
Yes?
Hold on. Let me catch my breath first.
Sir, I'm preparing
for my research project.
The lecturers here told me
that I should see you.
What's the topic of your research?
The role of Muslim women
in campus organizations.
I was told that you encourage
the campus to have
a separate organization for Muslim women.
I will focus on Islamic jurisprudence.
Islamic jurisprudence for Muslim women
and their role in students' movements.
Why did you choose that topic?
Because I'm a woman and I agree with you.
I believe that women's roles
in Islam are different
from men's roles,
but not because Islam is mysoginistic.
What's your name again?
I haven't told you my name, sir.
Sorry, sir! My name is
Ralyna Taslimah Habibah.
It's a bit of a mouthful, right?
My friends call me Ratih.
Yes, your nickname is easier.
-Come on.
-Don't say that.
Your full name is long too, right?
Mr. Arya Satria...
And what else?
-Negara.
-Right. I'm sorry, sir.
But it's different.
Mine's simple, unlike yours.
Don't say that,
our names are given to us by our parents.
FOR HYPOCRITES TO DO
ARE THE DAWN AND EVENING PRAYERS
IF THEY WERE TO KNOW THE VIRTUE OF THEM,
THEY WOULD COME TO THEM
EVEN IF THEY HAD TO CRAWL
HADITH AL-BUKHARI AND MUSLIM
Angga.
Wake up, it's dawn already.
Are you praying too?
You haven't got your period yet?
How long has it been?
Don't count it or it won't happen.
Let's go.
Angga!
Angga!
Your alarm woke up the whole dorm.
Angga!
Angga.
May the peace and blessings of God
be upon you.
May the peace and blessings of God
be upon you.
-Hello?
-Angga, did you just wake up?
No, I woke up earlier.
-Are you coming to campus?
-I'm on my way.
On what?
It's too quiet there.
Too quiet?
I'm on my motorbike.
Hello?
Hello? I can't hear you. Hello?
Angga,
we agreed to meet in the morning.
I have something important to talk
to you about.
Yeah, I'm on my way.
I'm going to class.
Let's meet after this.
Why did you even agree
to meet in the morning?
Mira asked me to.
She wanted to tell me something.
-That's too bad.
-How come?
When a girl says
she wants to tell you something,
watch out, it can't be good.
What are you talking about?
When a girl says
she wants to tell you something,
it's not going to be good news. No chance.
"I want to talk. I'm actually
the chairwoman of the Charity Agency."
-No way!
-So what do you think it is?
I'm worried whatever it is will upset you.
Prepare yourself mentally.
I think Mira's going to dump you.
-To do what?
-Dump you. Break up, you fool.
That's ridiculous.
"I want to tell you something.
We are breaking up."
-That's what she's going to say, Angga.
-That's impossible.
I want to break up.
Are you serious?
My parents arranged a match for me.
I've tried to explain to my mom and dad
that I have you.
Mira!
Calm down, Angga.
There are so many other girls out there.
But maybe, there aren't that many
who'd be interested in you.
Well, maybe one is.
Hang on a sec, man.
It's the call to prayer.
Why don't we go to the mosque?
It's better than you moping around.
Right? It's not very manly of you.
You're not helping, Gani.
It's true! Who knows, you might find
another Mira at the mosque.
Like who? The caretaker?
Well... Do you think the caretaker
wants you?
Just drop it, all right?
I'm just kidding. Come on, let's go.
I'll walk over by myself.
That's a great idea.
No need for a chaperone to the mosque.
You can go all by yourself.
But excuse me, Angga,
the mosque is that way! Excuse me!
Angga! Hey!
Maybe I'll just block Mira
on social media.
For God's sake.
Angga, can't we just stop talking
about Mira?
We are going to pray.
And I'm doing ablution.
You do know that you have to start over
if you talk, don't you?
I'm about to do it, you know.
I'm just going to block her.
God Almighty.
Angga, they're saying the second call.
It's time to pray!
Can't you just hang on?
I'm doing ablution!
I have to do it all over again
if you talk to me!
In a minute, alright?
Now, where was I?
What if I don't block her
and end up stalking her?
God is Great. God, Have Mercy.
Glory to God. Praises be to God Almighty.
Just hold on until after we pray.
We should just pray, and maybe
you'll find someone new for you there.
Someone prettier.
You're right, we just got here
and even before we pray,
God's sent Mira's replacement already.
Hey!
God, have mercy. Angga!
Whatever, man.
You're going to hell for this!
-Excuse me.
-Yes?
May I introduce myself?
Are you a Muslim?
So to just introduce myself
I have to be a Muslim?
That's pretty arrogant for a Muslim.
So if I'm not a Muslim,
you'd consider me unclean?
If you are a Muslim,
I just wanted to remind you.
The call's been announced.
You best go to the mosque
and stand in the front row.
It's better than asking about
a girl out here.
Especially if you hold such prejudices.
I'm off to go pray now.
Let's pray first.
Next week, we'll come back.
Hey, Angga, the preacher will be the same.
Just come with me next time
to forget all about your problems.
Let's pray.
-Amen.
-I'm leaving.
-Hey, let's pray first.
-I'm going now.
-I've got to go.
-Okay.
Is there something else you need?
-I finished praying.
-So?
Angga.
Rizky Anangga Wijayanu.
Getting to know each other is not a sin,
right?
Ratih.
What's your major?
Which semester are you in?
I'm in Literature.
I'm in my last semester. My GPA is 3.5.
I'm graduating soon. Probably cum laude.
Do you often come to the mosque to pray?
-What?
-Yes, we pray at the mosque.
But I mean, do you often pray
at the campus mosque?
Is this how you usually behave?
You approach women this impolitely?
If my bristly reaction doesn't sink in,
let me clarify, I'm annoyed now.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Ratih, wait up.
Can I have your number?
Please.
If I give you my number,
you'll stop bothering me, right?
Okay.
What are you doing? Your phone.
I thought you didn't want to give me
your number.
-My phone number, right?
-Yes.
It's up to me if I reject
or ignore you later.
Remember, stop bothering me.
Okay.
Ratih.
Wait up, Ratih.
I told you, stop bothering me.
-Arya.
-Sorry to bother you.
No, not at all. I thought you
were someone else.
Right, nice to meet you. I'm Arya.
But apparently you already know my name.
Yeah, I do.
I'm Ratih.
Did you need to ask me something?
-You're Ustaz Sapta's sister, right?
-Yes, I am.
We'd like to invite him to come
next Saturday.
My friend, the coordinator,
broke his phone.
So we lost his number.
-Can I have his number, please?
-Yes, of course.
And can I have yours as well, Ratih?
Just in case I can't get through
on the Ustaz's number.
If you don't mind, of course.
I don't mind.
Well, if that's all, I have to go now.
-Excuse me. Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
-And you think this is your destiny?
-Yes, of course.
It was like love at first sight.
Angga, you're still so young.
You are only a year older than me.
That's not what I mean.
Look, you've dated lots of girls, right?
-Aren't you getting tired of it?
-What makes you say that?
Being in a relationship motivates me.
I even went to college because of Mira.
And in the end, you broke up, right?
We broke up and then God
sent me someone to take her place.
Don't just bring up God.
You rarely even do daily prayers.
You hardly ever pray at dawn.
Besides, how would you even
get in touch with her?
Watch me.
Just one click away.
Peace be upon you.
This is the Sapta Clothing Store.
What happened? Your run out of credit?
It's the number for a clothing store.
Maybe you dialled the wrong number.
No way. She typed the number in herself.
-She typed the number in herself?
-Yes.
Angga, she played you!
Like I said, there is no way
a girl wearing hijab
who prays at the mosque,
gives her number to some random guy.
It's impossible.
Angga...
She played me, for real?
I'm going to the mosque.
-Please go with Septi.
-Alright.
Ratih, someone called the store
this afternoon.
I said hello, but they hung up.
Was that you?
It wasn't me.
-Maybe a wrong number.
-Maybe.
I'm off now.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
It's Ratih. Can I come in?
Let's pray together.
I've got my period.
Hang in there.
Mom?
Have some water, Mom.
Your cough is getting worse.
It's the same as ever.
Here.
It looks like my time's almost up.
Don't say that.
Don't give up, Mom.
Don't get ahead of Allah's fate for you.
I'm not.
But, I dream about your father
all the time.
He wants me to be with him from now on.
I'm grateful to have you.
You're such a good son.
You're smart and handsome.
Just like your father.
I'm grateful I could watch you grow up
for this long.
I'm grateful for being brought up
by the best mother in the world.
Really?
Arya, you really don't have
a woman you could love?
There is someone.
Thank God.
What's her name?
Her name is Radinka Atikah Wafiah.
Her nickname is Ratih.
Such a beautiful name.
She must be pretty.
You are prettier. A little.
She is way prettier.
Is that so?
Just kidding.
So, my brothers and sisters,
it's okay to be preoccupied
with love or marriage,
but there is something
you still have to bear in mind.
Do you know what it is?
Death.
That's the row for ladies. Over here.
Watch out! Ouch!
-I'm sorry, kid.
-I'm not a kid.
-Bro? What are you, exactly?
-Whatever.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
It's okay, I'm used to it,
it's the fourth time today.
-The fourth time?
-Yes.
In that case, I'll put you on my lap.
On your lap?
Yes, so you'll be safe now
and in the hereafter.
Oh, no.
You rarely go to Islamic lectures.
Maybe I could meet a pretty girl.
Come on, let's do more good deeds.
Where are you off to, Ustaz?
Yeah, as usual, just picking up my wife,
for a doctor appointment.
-Is she sick?
-Thank God, no, she isn't.
We're just being tested a little.
Right, Ustaz, your sister goes to
this college too, right?
-Ratih?
-Yeah.
-You two know each other?
-She's my junior.
Oh, by the Grace of God.
Then, come visit us sometime.
I'll introduce you to our small family.
God willing, Ustaz. God willing.
I'm sorry, Arya. I have to go now, okay?
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
You can make your own way home, right?
Of course.
I can get an online taxi or bus.
-But please be careful.
-Of course.
Keep in touch.
You too, take care and keep in touch.
Okay.
-Go straight home, don't go anywhere.
-Got it. Bye.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
You moron, what the...
-Gani, can you get off the bike?
-What do you mean? This is my bike.
Please, Gani. I need to borrow your bike
just this once.
-You're my friend, right?
-Alright then.
-Your helmet.
-Fine.
-Quickly, please.
-You're borrowing my bike and my helmet.
-You owe me lunch, okay?
-Okay.
Oh man. Where's my ride? It's not coming.
Peace be upon you, Ratih.
It is obligatory that you reply.
Greetings.
Did you go to the Islamic lecture?
Why haven't you gone home yet?
What are you doing here?
Good afternoon, miss.
Are you Ratih? I'm your online taxi.
Don't be silly.
I was at the lecture too.
So you went there too?
If I want to join an Islamic lecture,
is there a certain criteria?
Hey, Ratih.
Of all over 3,000 students on campus
and as many days and places,
we keep meeting.
-Don't you think you're special?
-No, I don't.
That's good.
So if you're not so special,
you don't have to brush me off.
Just act normally.
Just like when you meet your friends.
I don't have any bad intentions.
If you can't get an online taxi,
why not just take the bus?
I wouldn't still be here
if I had any cash on me.
I have two helmets.
This area is scary at night.
Yesterday, I heard there was a girl
waiting here alone at night.
Suddenly she heard a really loud sound.
Turns out the source
of the sound was right behind her.
When she turned around...
someone had fallen into the ditch.
That's not funny.
But it's true.
You're better off with me
than being here alone.
I'll take you home.
Are you sure you don't want to?
Alright then, I'm leaving.
Be careful.
Hey.
This is just because my battery's dead.
Put your bag in between us
so it will be safe.
You don't have to touch me. Here.
-What if it starts raining or something?
-It won't. I guarantee it.
It's fine. Let's go.
This is because you're too cocky.
"No, it won't rain."
"It won't" And look, it's raining.
And I even brought the onion and chili,
you know.
See?
What? You still believe in all that?
Don't be like that, Ratih.
We have to be grateful
that we can find shelter.
Let's get a drink. Hot tea or something.
This is going to take a while. My treat.
I can pay for it myself.
You can't even pay for the bus.
How are you going to pay for a drink?
It's okay, I'll buy your drink.
I'll pay you back.
Peace be upon you.
So Ustaz Sapta is your older brother?
Yes, he's my brother.
-Can I help you? You called me over?
-What?
We didn't call you over.
I see your drinks
are almost finished, and no snacks.
Don't you want to order more?
-Alright then, one coffee.
-Ah, that's better.
-One coffee with milk.
-One coffee with milk.
And how about you, miss? Anything else?
What snacks do you have?
We have plenty snacks on the menu.
Just put the menu down.
Don't touch her, she's not your wife.
-I'm sorry.
-What are you doing? You're overreacting.
So what have you got?
For snacks, we have french fries
and fried potato.
But that's the same thing.
Yeah, that's all we have.
Alright, we'd like that.
Okay then.
I'll leave you two.
Thank you.
-Ouch! Help!
-What's wrong?
-Please take a look.
-There's nothing there.
I've got you in my eyes.
What's up with you?
Don't move.
Why not?
I love you.
Come on. Can you stop kidding around?
I'm sorry. I'm just lightening the mood.
You are so weird.
See, it's nice to smile.
Aren't you tired of frowning all the time?
I only frown at you.
Why are you smiling like that?
Don't smile like that.
But miss, I have to smile.
It is the standard here.
I wasn't talking to you. It's him.
-She was talking to me.
-So, you're not talking to me?
I thought you were.
-Here is your coffee.
-Coffee with milk.
And your french fries.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
-Enjoy.
-Thank you.
Ratih, I want to reintroduce myself.
Rizky Anangga Wijayanu.
Angga.
Ratih. Radinka Atika Wafiah.
Is there something wrong with my name?
Our initials are the same.
R. A. W.
You really don't think
we're destined to be together?
What are you talking about?
I'm serious.
If I spell it out, you'll agree.
-Go on.
-First, our initials are the same.
And also,
we greet each other the same way.
Now, we are sitting in the same place.
If that's not destiny,
I don't know what is.
What are you talking about?
You're talking nonsense!
But it's true, right? That's how it is.
That's ridiculous!
The rain's stopped. I'll take you home.
Aren't we going to pray first?
I'll pray at home after I drop you off.
This place has a prayer room too.
We'll take turns. You first and then me.
-Let's do it later.
-Just pray now, Angga.
Okay.
Why hasn't Ratih turned on the lights?
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you.
Ratih?
Ratih?
Ratih?
She isn't home yet?
When you left her on her own,
what was her plan?
She was coming home on her own, right?
Yes, but she should have been home by now.
It's 8 PM.
How come she isn't home yet?
What's she thinking?
Alright, just stop here. Stop.
Where's your house?
It's over there.
It's quite far away.
Why are you getting off here?
My brother's strict about
some random guy trying to get close to me.
I'm not just some random guy.
I'm his brother-in-law-to-be.
-Remember that.
-What are you talking about?
-Here you go.
-You're welcome.
-I didn't say thank you.
-Yeah, say it then.
Thank you.
And don't forget to give a 5-star rating.
May I have your real phone number?
So now you think
since you succeeded in taking me home
that I'll give you my real number?
Just kidding. Give me your phone.
You're scary when you joke around.
Don't give me another fake number.
Remember, a good relationship
is built on honesty.
-Who's building a relationship?
-I am.
Here you go.
Thank you.
-Alright, then. I've got to go.
-Okay.
-Take care.
-Okay.
-Don't forget to do the evening prayer.
-Of course, I'll remember.
Don't just remember.
You really have to do it.
Okay, noted, Miss Ratih.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
You weren't with a guy, right?
No, what do you mean? You're accusing me?
I'm not accusing you.
I'm just making sure.
No.
Alright. I'll sort myself out,
then check in with Septi.
-What's your name?
-Dodi Qori Pratama, sir.
Actually I'm quite busy this morning.
And since you arrived unannounced,
we're not ready for visitors.
Next time, if you want to come visit,
please tell us beforehand.
Yes, sir. I'm sorry.
So what brings you here?
-Sir, I...
-What are you doing? Go over there.
Yes, Dad.
I want to propose
to your daughter, Aghnia.
Aghnia, why haven't you told me
someone wants to propose to you?
I don't know him.
She doesn't know you. What's going on?
I spoke to her once, a long time ago.
Maybe she doesn't remember it.
But I'm sure, sir. I want to
start a family with your daughter, Aghnia.
Yeah, I see.
Well I'm also sure
that my daughter doesn't know who you are.
That's why I'm introducing myself now.
By the way, where do you know her from?
I met her at...
But this is a workshop
for large bike modifications.
-I'm sorry.
-What's the matter?
Her bike has problems.
She wants to have it fixed here.
Alright. I'll take care of it.
You can go back to work.
Okay.
What's wrong with the bike?
I don't know. It won't start.
I thought the battery was dead
but it won't start manually either.
-Okay, I'll take a look at it.
-Sure.
Is she your sister?
Yes, she is.
Here's my address and my phone number.
If there are any issues,
please let me know.
-You want to leave your bike here?
-Yes, I'm in a hurry.
-I'm sorry.
-Hey, miss!
Ma'am, I'm leaving.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Someone so pretty left her sister alone?
Kids are impolite these days.
No, on the contrary. She's really polite.
She's not my sister.
She got off the bus because she saw me
pushing this bike alone.
She helped me push the bike
a really long way.
-How far?
-From the bus station.
That was when I fell in love
with your daughter, Aghnia.
Do you remember that?
I do vaguely.
But yes, I remember.
From what I can see,
your intentions are good.
You're asking to get married immediately?
But you don't know her full character yet.
Well, I know that nobody's perfect.
But, God willing,
I believe that Aghnia and I
will complete each other.
That's a pretty good answer.
Okay then.
You make a good first impression.
Quite pleasant.
But I have something to ask.
If you don't mind?
Please, sir.
What time did you do
the dawn prayer today?
Praises to God, I did it on time, sir.
-And where did you pray?
-At my dorm.
What a shame.
On time, but not at the mosque.
I'm still not used to it, sir.
Alright. I have three conditions
you must meet
before I allow you to marry her.
The first one
is getting your parents' blessing.
The second one,
is my blessing as her father.
The third is Aghnia must want
to marry you.
If you're reliable, do the dawn prayer
at the mosque
for 40 consecutive days,
starting tomorrow.
-How's the workshop?
-All good, thank God.
I'm going to bed now.
Tomorrow I want to do the
dawn prayer at the mosque.
-Are you coming too?
-Send everyone my regards.
-Have you done the evening prayer?
-Of course I have. Why?
I thought you hadn't.
I was going to invite you.
-What is it?
-You don't usually do it.
I do now. I made a promise to an angel.
Angga. Which angel did you
make a promise to now?
You should only make promises to God.
-I want to test your faith.
-What?
-You asked me to go pray together.
-And?
-What do you say before evening prayers?
-That's easy.
"I intend to pray this evening prayer
four rak'ahs..."
"Four rak'ahs..."
Angga...
-See you.
-That is right, isn't it? Four?
Dodi, that is right, isn't it?
"I intend to pray for this evening prayer
four rak'ahs..."
See? I was right.
I was right. You're so rude.
ONLINE THIS LATE? THAT'S NOT LIKE YOU
WAITING UP FOR ARYA, HUH?
Oh, come on.
WHAT?
YOU WERE SEEN ON THE BACK OF A GUY'S BIKE
BUSTED! IT WAS ARYA'S RIGHT?
WHO SAW THAT?
I DID! LOL
Oh, my God.
Peace be upon you. Are you there yet?
Peace be upon you too. What do you mean?
Who is this?
This is Arya.
Are you waiting for a call?
Well, no...
So...
I just wanted to thank Ustaz Sapta.
I called him but he didn't pick up.
Maybe he's asleep.
Alright, then.
I'm sorry to bother you this late.
Thank you.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
She's got a nice voice.
What am I doing?
I want to get well soon.
So that I can propose to Ratih with you.
God willing, you'll get better.
-God willing.
-Amen.
PEACE BE UPON YOU, RATIH. IT'S ANGGA
WAIT, THIS IS RATIH, RIGHT?
PEACE BE UPON YOU TOO
NO, THIS IS A CLOTHING STORE
SO IT IS RATIH THEN!
NO, IT'S NOT!
WERE YOU WAITING FOR ME TO CONTACT YOU?
YOU WISH!
WHAT ARE YOU TYPING? YOU'RE TAKING AGES!
SEE? YOU ARE WAITING
I'M GOING TO BED NOW
THANKS FOR YOUR REAL NUMBER
SEE YOU TOMORROW. PEACE BE UPON YOU
Peace be upon you too.
What are you doing here?
Peace be upon you, Ratih.
Peace be upon you too.
What are you doing here?
I wanted to pick you up.
I'm on my own bike.
Alright then, I'll follow behind you.
-We'll ride together.
-What do you mean?
Go on then, open the gate.
I'm the second child.
My parents passed away.
They died at the same time in an accident.
That's why at home I often feel lonely.
-That's why meeting me was right for you.
-How so?
My friends say that I liven things up.
So be with me
and you won't be lonely anymore.
You're always saying things
that don't make any sense.
Ratih, if I want to date you,
what should I...
I don't date.
Alright then, be your husband.
Do you have any ideal type?
He definitely has to do
the daily prayers without skipping any.
That's all? Piece of cake.
It's not that easy.
Just try doing the dawn prayer
at the mosque.
It's hard. Especially for a guy like you.
What do you know?
Hey, I went on three
short religious retreats in junior high.
Don't get me wrong.
-Peace be upon you, Dodi.
-Peace be upon you too.
I'm sorry to show up unannounced.
I just want to check something.
I heard why you want to marry me.
But when you went to my house,
you didn't ask my opinion.
Why not?
About that, your father gave me
some conditions.
I want to fulfill his conditions first.
After that, I'll be allowed to ask you.
That's what I mean.
What happens if you meet
all the requirements my father gave you,
but I don't accept your proposal?
I'll be really sad, obviously.
But it's okay.
That time at your house,
I was prepared for rejection.
But, I'm sure
that I can pass this test.
And only I can do it.
That is, if we're meant to be together.
Peace be upon you.
Peace be upon you too.
-Just a sec. Please help yourself.
-Okay.
-How are you?
-I'm good, praises to God.
-What's up?
-I'm paying for the tires you changed.
Don't bill me when I'm dead.
It's okay, take it easy.
You look cheerful. What changed?
Dodi, I've got to go.
Don't forget about the 40 days.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
-Forty days? Who died?
-It's nothing.
If you say it's nothing, it's something.
That's why you're so happy.
Are you getting married?
That's what you should do.
You're good looking
and your business is doing well.
You are well off now.
Invite me to your wedding.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Are you new here?
Me?
Yes. This is my first time here.
How did you know?
This is the first time I've seen you here.
So you're a regular here at dawn?
Only when I stay here overnight.
My mom is being treated
in a hospital nearby.
I hope she gets well soon.
-And you are...
-Arya.
I'm Dodi, nice to meet you.
I'm off now.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Mom.
It looks like my time is up soon.
Don't say that.
Don't give up, Mom.
No.
But...
I dream about your father all the time.
He wants me to be with him from now on.
I'm grateful to have you.
You're such a good son.
You're smart and handsome.
Just like your father.
I want to get well soon.
So that I can propose to Ratih with you.
God willing you will get better.
-God willing.
-Amen.
Hello?
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Peace be upon you too.
Thank you.
Just let me know
if you need anything, Arya.
Don't hesitate.
Thank you, Ustaz.
Actually, my mom had a last request.
But I can't do it alone.
It reminds me of my own parents.
I still remember the sadness
when they passed away.
It reminds me how lonely I was...
I'm happy that you called me.
Ratih, do you want to be my girlfriend?
-You know I'm not interested in dating.
-That's not what I meant.
I've never seen a guy like this before.
I don't have any bad intentions.
Listen to me.
It's better than we do this
without any status.
We are comfortable with each other, right?
I don't understand why I felt lonely
-and then I contacted you...
-I love you, Ratih.
I don't want to date, Angga.
This is what I mean.
I have my final exams soon and so do you.
We can get married afterwards.
What do you think?
What's wrong with Ratih?
-Did you tell her about Arya?
-Not yet.
Arya wanted to tell her himself. Why?
This guy. Such a pain.
Angga!
Me and Ratih are together now!
-You mean, dating?
-No, not just dating.
We're getting married.
I promised I'd marry her after I graduate.
You're crazy! Don't make crazy promises.
Don't upset someone who's really happy.
I'm happy now.
Don't be daft.
She's the Ustaz's little sister.
She's an orphan. Don't mess her around.
I won't mess her around.
I made a promise to her.
What promise?
"I'll do my final exams soon
and so will you."
You're out of your mind.
"We're getting married afterwards."
What do you think?
Ratih, what do you think?
Okay. I'll marry you.
Seriously?
Yeah!
But I've got six rules we have to follow.
What are they?
-Peace be upon you, pretty girl.
-Peace be upon you too, ugly.
So salty.
Let's go. My brother might see us.
Okay.
High five!
Do you want to break up?
First rule,
no physical contact whatsoever.
I was just kidding.
-Where are you going?
-Over there.
Ratih!
-That's a lot.
-Yeah.
This is enough.
Second rule. While we are together,
no excessive spending.
I usually buy this much.
Not with me, you don't.
Put them back.
Angga.
Third rule.Never miss a daily prayer.
Hi.
You two again.
What are you two doing?
-Writing your thesis?
-Yep.
Do you want to finish your studies soon
-so you can get married quickly?
-Yes, why wait?
Fourth rule, we have to be productive
especially with our studies.
We have to graduate quickly.
Thank God.
I pray for you to get it done quickly.
-Amen.
-To get married soon.
-And your kids will look like me.
-Amen...
No? Not like me? Okay, then. No worries.
-So, one french fries?
-Yes.
It's Arya.
Fifth rule. Do not let anybody come
between us.
Remember, our goal is to get married.
So you have to be faithful.
Maybe it's important.
If it's important
he'd just send a message.
Or, you let me call my female friends
who I used to fancy?
Oh, is that a threat, huh?
Alright, I won't answer it.
-Reject the call.
-There you go.
Wait.
You said there are six rules.
What's the sixth rule?
The sixth rule is...
our relationship is a secret.
So no one else is allowed to know.
So, if no one knows, what about us then?
Well, actually, there's one exception.
Just for Harsi and Tari. You can know.
You two are my best friends.
How sweet!
But it also means that
Angga has his exceptions too.
That's why we're here.
We're meeting his friend.
His name is Gani.
Hurry up.
Hang on, I want to look good.
Maybe Ratih's got a pretty friend.
-You said you don't want to date?
-I don't want to date.
I want to get married right away.
Are you serious?
Do you even have any money?
I have a successful business
selling hijabs.
I bought my own bike with that money.
Excuse me, I'm a soon-to-be-rich man!
-A guy selling hijabs.
-You got a problem with that?
Here they come.
Where are they going?
I don't know.
What's the pretty girl's name, Angga?
Which one?
Come here.
-That one.
-Which one?
The one with the veil.
She's wearing a veil.
How can you tell if she's pretty?
From her eyes, Angga.
-She's got beautiful eyes?
-Windows to the soul!
-Get real, man.
-Hey, excuse me. What's her name?
That's Harsi. Come on!
May peace, compassion,
and blessings of God be upon you.
May peace, compassion,
and blessings of God be upon you too.
The others didn't answer.
Only Harsi did.
-So you're Sundanese?
-I just have the accent.
I'm actually an Arab.
I'm sorry.
There's something wrong with him.
There's nothing wrong!
I can see how beautiful Harsi is.
This is how it affects me.
But now I need to make a decision.
On what?
Can I ask you something?
Harsi, do you have someone
in mind for marriage yet?
Oh, for God's sake.
No, I don't. Why?
Because it is unlawful
to approach a betrothed woman.
-And Harsi, can I have your number please?
-Hey.
No, you can't.
You think we're having
a matchmaking event?
We're here for introductions.
Hey, you spectre.
Please watch your attitude.
Have some self-control.
I was speaking and you interrupted.
Who asked for her phone number?
I was asking her house number
and her parents' phone number.
So I can tell them my good intentions.
-Are you serious?
-I am.
Harsi covers herself this way.
She deserves to be respected.
So, can I come to your house? Please?
Yes, you may.
Praises to God.
Praises to God.
Your friend is so funny.
Hey.
I'm grateful I came with you today.
I met a beautiful angel today. What a day!
This is crazy!
We've been friends for so long
and only now I get a benefit.
You were Sundanese and now you're Arab?
What's wrong? You don't like it?
Whatever.
Congratulations.
Can I have a sip? Gani drank mine.
Are you serious about going
to her parents' house?
Of course I am!
I just did all the prayers and stuff.
What do you think about Angga?
I think the rules
are just your way to try and trick God.
That's not it.
You're asking for my opinion
and not for approval, right?
What do you think?
Sapta is your guardian.
So you two have to meet up
with him and come clean.
So do you think that
your friends are right?
I think we've made a mistake.
-Because we are dating?
-So you don't think it's wrong?
Don't answer my question with a question.
I'm confused, you know.
It's making my head spin.
Besides, you broke our rules.
Which one? I obey them all.
-The prayers?
-I swear, I haven't skipped a single one.
-The dawn prayer?
-I do even if I'm late, Ratih.
-What time?
-Whenever I wake up, at seven or eight.
The sun is up then,
doesn't count as dawn prayer!
I'm tired.
I'm tired of trying to wake you up
at dawn every day.
And for what?
You don't even answer.
You reject my calls.
Sometimes your phone's off.
How can you make a good husband?
So now what do you want from me?
I want you to change.
Do the dawn prayer right.
Live a disciplined life.
And then go to my house
and propose to me.
So now you can't wait to get married?
Who said I can't wait to get married?
Angga, you're the one who wanted
to marry me!
You want to keep dating for ages? I don't.
-Okay.
-Okay, what?
Okay, I'll change.
Amen. I hope you really mean that.
What's that?
This is my requirement
for getting married.
The marriage requirement
is the dawn prayer?
-Your father-in-law-to-be is very unique.
-Yeah, he is.
By the way, are you with anyone, Arya?
Not yet.
-But you have someone in mind, right?
-Yes, God willing.
But it looks like
she belongs to someone else.
Oh, dear God. You mean she's married?
No.
You misunderstood.
Don't do anything if she's married.
That's a sin.
But you said she belongs to someone else.
I saw her with a male friend
at a cafe near campus.
-What were they doing?
-I don't know.
But it's clear that they're together.
That's just an ill assumption, Arya.
Come on. Trust in God
and then go visit her guardian.
Do it the right way.
God willing,
it will all turn out all right.
So it's positive?
Praises to God, I'm two weeks late.
And the line is clear now.
Thank God, I'm so happy.
But you still have to pray.
And don't get too tired.
Yes, honey.
What was it it like when you
fell in love with my brother?
You've never asked about
that kind of thing before.
-Are you in love?
-You have to know?
It's okay for your brother to know.
You're not telling me?
You brother was the first man
to come to me
and express his feelings.
And then he asked me to marry him.
At the time I was just starting
to study religion.
I remember what my father said.
My father said if a pious man comes to you
and asks you to marry him,
you should just say yes.
And avoid attracting
the wrong assumptions.
But how did you know he was a pious man?
If he wasn't pious,
he would have asked me out.
Ratih, you're not dating anyone, right?
No, I'm not.
That's good.
-Dating is just a waste of time.
-Don't say that.
It's true though.
Dating is a step toward adultery.
Why do it?
But that doesn't mean everyone
who's dating does bad things.
But if they aren't doing anything.
then why date at all?
-Dating the Islamic way?
-Just think positive.
Maybe they needed motivation
to go to the college,
motivation to do assignments.
It's better if you don't.
It's giving the devil a chance
to lure you.
They're always trying
to tempt humans to sin.
Where are we going?
-To the right.
-To the right?
So, after leaving campus
we can only turn right
and not turn left at all.
-Until the end of our journey.
-What if we got lost?
It's okay, as long as I'm with you, Ratih.
I'm ready to go anywhere.
You're so cheesy.
Okay.
He's smart, but...
But what?
It's okay, honey. You're very attentive.
Oh come on, Ratih.
OFFICE OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS
Ratih, I want to fulfill my promise.
But I can't come to your house yet.
I can't propose to you yet.
I haven't even graduated.
But I'm really serious.
I want you to be my wife.
Angga.
Please take the ring.
I'm getting tired of holding onto it.
-Just stop sweet talking me.
-Stop staring at it.
You need to wash it first.
It's a prize from a snack.
You...
Thank you.
You're welcome, Ratih.
So what do you say?
Ratih?
What?
She's zoning out.
Why are you zoning out?
Ratih...
-Please.
-Thank you.
Arya has come all the way here.
You live far away, right?
-It's quite far, Ustaz.
-See?
Amazing.
He came at dawn to do the prayer together
at our mosque.
He has such good intentions.
He wants to propose to you.
Ratih, please answer him.
-Have a drink, please.
-Thank you.
Ratih, he's a pious man.
We know him well.
He's also come at the best time.
What else could you ask for?
Time.
I need some time. Is that okay?
What do you think, Arya?
Take as much time as you need, Ratih.
Ratih, please stop sulking.
I fell asleep late
because I was writing my thesis.
Juventus won last night, right?
You know about that?
Thesis?
You're out of your mind.
-I was doing both.
-Doing both?
Ratih, I'm sorry.
How long are you giving me
the silent treatment?
Ratih, please say something.
Don't just sit there.
Ratih!
-I want us to break up.
-Ra...
You don't follow our rules, Angga.
-How? I'm trying, Ratih!
-You are not trying hard enough.
I don't see you trying at all.
Are we breaking up
because I don't do the dawn prayer?
-The dawn prayer is important.
-I know, all prayers are important.
-Good thing you know.
-Give me a chance, Ratih.
Arya came to my house at dawn today.
He came all the way to pray
at the mosque in my neighborhood.
And then he came to my house
and proposed to me.
So that's why we're breaking up?
-Because you don't keep your promises.
-Ratih!
We should never have started dating
in the first place.
-Wait, Ratih.
-Let me go, Angga.
Give me a chance, Ratih.
First rule, no physical contact.
Ratih!
Go inside.
-Ratih!
-Leave!
-Ustaz...
-I said leave!
-I just want to...
-Don't make any more trouble here.
Ratih!
Ratih!
Be honest with me.
Were you dating him all this time?
Answer me!
It doesn't matter now. We broke up!
God, have mercy!
So you've been lying to me all this time?
You've betrayed my trust!
What have you done with him?
-Answer me!
-What do you mean?
Did I have to do anything?
-I've never...
-You've never what? You have sinned!
You disgraced our family!
And you dare speak to me like that!
I didn't disgrace this family!
You don't know that! You have no idea!
No one knows me at all!
No one actually cares about me!
Open the door!
You made a mistake and you're angry?
Open the door, Ratih!
I said, open the door! Ratih!
-Open the door!
-Calm down, honey.
I can't! She must be punished!
Ratih! She has to learn that she is wrong!
Please calm down, honey!
-Honey, calm down.
-I seek forgiveness from God.
Ratih?
Can I come in?
I'm sorry I took
your brother's attention off of you.
It's alright.
You've done nothing wrong.
I should be the one apologizing.
I felt comfortable around him.
I know I was wrong.
I know there's no such thing
as Islamic dating.
I thought he wanted to try
to be a good husband for me.
I tried to remind him all the time.
But it's difficult.
And now it hurts so much.
Then you should heal it by praying.
Read the Qur'an more often.
It will make you feel calmer.
If that doesn't work,
do more acts of worship.
The midnight prayer, and fast.
Okay?
Ask for the best from God.
Not for what we think is good for us.
Angga!
Angga!
Angga!
You lazy boy!
Aren't you surprised to see me here?
I'm used to it.
Come on, wake up.
I have news for you.
Sit up.
Here.
What's this?
Open it up.
Very nice.
Are you serious? Isn't this too sudden?
Getting married is not a matter
of too fast or too slow.
It's a matter of being ready.
I'm ready. Harsi is ready.
You're the only one who's never ready.
I don't get it.
-You just don't try hard enough.
-What else can I do, Gani?
You just need to put more effort
into doing the dawn prayer.
I can't even get through to Ratih now.
Your worship is for God. And for yourself.
Not for other people.
Why are you on the wrong purpose?
My problem is alarms don't work with me.
Fine, then. Now's the time
to try the human alarm.
What?
LIST OF ACTS OF WORSHIP
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Come in.
You always go to the dawn prayer, right?
So what?
Angga.
It's dawn already, Angga.
The prayer starts soon.
Where is he?
I left the key in the box,
just in case I don't wake up.
Angga! Wake up!
Angga! Wake up, Angga!
It's dawn.
Angga.
Wake up, Angga.
Angga, wake up, it's dawn!
Angga, wake up, let's pray.
In the name of God.
-What are you doing?
-Wake up, it's dawn.
Hey, what are you doing?
You said you wanted to wake up at dawn.
If you can't even wake up early,
how could you raise a family?
It's about to start.
Please, Dodi, you have to wake me up.
I want to do the dawn prayer on time.
In the name of God.
In the name of God.
May the peace, compassion,
and blessings of God be upon you.
May the peace, compassion,
and blessings of God be upon you.
Dodi, I did tell you to wake me up.
But that's not what I meant.
Because of you I missed
the prayer at the mosque.
I'm sorry.
So you didn't pray
at the mosque on the last day.
No, sir.
-Why? Did you oversleep?
-No, sir.
My friend asked me to wake him up
to do the dawn prayer together.
But it was very difficult waking him up.
Why didn't you just leave him?
You were fulfilling my requirements.
I wanted to do that, sir.
I wanted to leave him.
But this friend of mine,
it isn't like him to do the dawn prayer.
And I was going to lie
and write that I did it.
But after I thought about it...
What good are good intentions
if I start off with a lie?
And your friend? Did he wake up and pray?
Yes, he did, praise God.
-So what do you think, Aghnia?
-What about it, Dad?
It's a yes from me.
I give you my blessing.
-Really, sir?
-I'm not lying.
Should I pinch you?
So that you're convinced it's real?
If I may ask, I failed
at meeting your condition.
So, why do you still accept me?
If you failed because you overslept,
I wouldn't give you my blessing, son.
But because you were waking up
a fellow Muslim to pray before Allah...
I think I'd be wrong to not accept you.
It's about to start. Hurry up!
Come on, Angga! Hurry!
Hurry up!
Angga, wake up. It's dawn.
Shut up, will you?
Let's go. It's about to start.
Thank you very much, ma'am.
-Thank you.
-You did well.
Ananda Gani Iskandar
son of Miftah Husein Rahmat,
I give my daughter to you in marriage,
Sinantia Dwi Harsi
daughter of Ahmad Fauzi,
with the dowry agreed upon.
I accept your daughter, Sinantia Dwi Harsi
daughter of Ahmad Fauzi
in marriage, with the dowry agreed upon.
-Do the witnesses agree it's official?
-It's official.
Praises to God.
-Congratulations, Auntie!
-Thank you.
Building a pyramid.
Let's take a picture. Are you ready?
One more time.
One more time. One, two
One more time.
One, two, three.
-Peace be upon you, Angga.
-Peace be upon you too.
-How are you?
-I'm good.
Cool.
So how's the newlywed couple?
Oh, don't be jealous, man.
Everything comes in time, Angga.
-I'm trying not to hold her hand.
-Don't give me that.
It's true. I said don't be jealous!
Isn't that right, Habibah?
-Habibah? Isn't her name Harsi?
-Habibah means my love.
Oh, I see.
Hang on.
You didn't come here
just to make me jealous, right?
Ratih asked me to give this to you, Angga.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Yeah?
I need to talk to Ratih.
Do you mind waiting outside?
What about?
You can do whatever you want
after the ceremony.
It won't be long.
Don't take long, it's bad luck.
Okay.
Are you really sure?
At graduation...
I saw the way you looked at Angga.
You never look at me like that.
And I saw the way Angga looked at you.
That is not a look I can give you.
A look as sincere and pure as that.
And there's something else...
There's something I can't explain.
What are you trying to say?
Yesterday, I met Angga.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Angga,
you may have already heard of me.
I'm Arya. Ratih's fiance.
Angga.
-Do you want something to drink?
-No, thanks.
I thought you were going to say
that you're Ratih's ex-boyfriend.
You knew about that, huh?
That's why you asked to meet?
Did Ratih send you the invitation?
It's tomorrow, right? Congratulations.
I'm happy for you two.
About that...
I don't want you to come to our wedding.
Your relationship with her is over.
If you come,
what's closed could be reopened.
And a new chapter
in your relationship could start.
You mean you think I'll
take her away from you?
Yes, maybe that's how to put it.
So you don't trust Ratih?
I don't trust you.
Alright, I won't come to the wedding.
What?
You thought I'd insist on coming,
didn't you?
Yes.
That's how it usually goes, right?
Arya,
I still love Ratih, honestly.
Even now.
I wanted to go.
So that when I see you
and Ratih side by side,
I'd stop loving her.
But if my presence would get in the way
of the happiness
she gets by marrying you,
then in that case, I won't go.
Because I don't want to stop her
from being happy.
Ratih,
could you really
marry someone you don't love?
-Arya...
-I can't do this.
I love myself more than I love you.
I'm marrying you
just to make me happy.
No.
I'm so sorry.
It's not your fault, Ratih.
In less than an hour,
Islamic rules will allow me
to wipe your tears.
And God would want me to hold you.
But I'm sure that
it wouldn't wipe away your sadness.
Because it's not me that you pray for.
You don't have to worry.
I will explain everything to our family
and to all the guests.
Arya.
I'm sorry.
Arya...
Love is unique.
It can't be forced upon anyone,
even though it's worth fighting for.
Happiness is not guaranteed
if it doesn't comefreely and sincerely.
In the end,
love is not something that you win.
It's not a prize in some competition.
It's greater than that.More precious.
So that when we feel love,
every description of it
pales in comparison.
Sometimes I still think about Arya.
Alright, just stop bringing him up.
Look, your wife
is in the last term of her pregnancy.
Yeah, it's just because he's a good man.
No wonder I think of him a lot.
-Do you want some fruit?
-Yes. Apples, please.
Yeah, it's me who isn't good enough.
-I'm the one not ready to get married.
-Why are you sulking?
Don't you want to get married?
How old are you?
Of course I do.
But who would be the groom?
I have a student.
He's mature and well established.
He could be the right man for you.
He's suitable for you,
since you're still maturing.
-What do you mean?
-It's...
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Peace be upon you too.
Looks like he's here.
Why don't you go get
some drinks and snacks?
Are you serious?
I'll get the door. Just a moment.
Hey!
What is this? Why so sudden?
You go and prepare the drinks
and the snacks.
So how about my sister, Mr. Rofiq?
Praises to God, she's just like
how you described her.
Praises to God.
Ratih, isn't it?
I have been a widower for three years.
Sorry, but I'd like to ask you something.
What would your ideal husband be like?
He has to be religious,
with a good moral compass.
-Praises to God.
-Why do you ask?
I just want to make sure I'd qualify.
Do you cook, Ratih?
I do, but just the basics.
As long as you can do instant noodles.
Instant noodles are a luxury
in many shelters.
I'm sorry, just one more thing.
If your husband were a widower,
would that bother you, Ratih?
Usually, if there's no answer,
that means yes.
And what if your husband
drools in his sleep?
Well, I couldn't do anything about it.
What if he snores?
Brother...
Oh my God. I almost forgot, Mr. Rofiq.
Where's the man we're talking about?
Right. I forgot.
Excuse me. I'll get him.
How'd I get so carried away?
What is going on?
I don't want to do this.
Hey kid, do you want her or not?
If not, I'll have her myself!
Such a nice girl!
Come on!
Whatever.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.
Peace be upon you too.
Angga?
I accept your daughter,
Nyimas Khadijah Nastiti Adinda
daughter of Kemas Syafei Herman
in marriage with the dowry agreed upon.
Sir!
Mr. Arya!
Yes?
Hold on. Let me catch my breath first.
Sir, I'm preparing
for my research project.
The lecturers here told me
that I should see you.
What's the topic of your research?
The role of Muslim women
in campus organizations.
I was told that you encourage
the campus to have
a separate organization for Muslim women.
I will focus on Islamic jurisprudence.
Islamic jurisprudence for Muslim women
and their role in students' movements.
Why did you choose that topic?
Because I'm a woman and I agree with you.
I believe that women's roles
in Islam are different
from men's roles,
but not because Islam is mysoginistic.
What's your name again?
I haven't told you my name, sir.
Sorry, sir! My name is
Ralyna Taslimah Habibah.
It's a bit of a mouthful, right?
My friends call me Ratih.
Yes, your nickname is easier.
-Come on.
-Don't say that.
Your full name is long too, right?
Mr. Arya Satria...
And what else?
-Negara.
-Right. I'm sorry, sir.
But it's different.
Mine's simple, unlike yours.
Don't say that,
our names are given to us by our parents.
