Why is he here?
How can I go home like this?
Do I have to sleep here?
Is he not going to leave?
-Excuse me, Miss.
-Tika!
Could you do me a favor?
I want to enter my house
but that guy is there.
Could you tease him,
touch him or something?
You're just adding to my work.
I don't need money anyway.
Miss, don't be like that.
Please, please help me.
Here, this tumbler is nice.
It's expensive.
I don't want it. What about this bag?
Not this. It was very hard
to find this bag.
Is your debt really that much,
that you have someone
coming for you like that?
So, help me please.
Wait a minute.
Take this wallet.
This wallet is a limited edition.
It's still in very good condition.
-Including the contents?
-There's nothing inside it.
There's only a bus card.
I need you to give it back, if you could.
If you need money fast, call me.
She offers loans?
Hey, handsome man!
-What are you doing?
-What's wrong with you?
What are you doing here?
You should go with me instead.
-Where do you want to go?
-Anywhere. Come on.
Come on.
Come, I'll accompany you.
Excuse me, are you Tika?
-Me?
-Yes!
You work here, right?
I really like your TikTok videos!
They're exciting,
and informative about thrifting
and how to mix-and-match.
Also, not boring!
I really like watching them.
Thank you.
You really work here, right?
Well, I would work as anything
as long as it's halal.
Besides, I don't work
in the collecting division.
Cha!
Here.
Tik, today at ten o'clock,
the collecting division
has a meeting with Ms. Cynthia.
Don't forget.
No matter what your job is,
you are still cool.
I will always be your fan.
Don't forget to do your homework again.
Yes, Dad.
Come on, Cha. You'll be late for school.
Don't worry, Dad.
I'm on my way already, so I won't be late.
Wait a minute, she's your daughter?
Why, do we not look alike?
Alright, come on. Don't forget.
-Let's go, Cha!
-Yes, let's go.
Oh right, if you're not busy this Sunday,
let's do a collaboration.
Here, I also have a TikTok.
So we can make content
about mix-and-matching
between your style and my style,
what do you think?
-Do you want to?
-Sure.
-Cha, come on!
-Wait a minute.
Really? Okay, bye!
Here, your helmet.
-Be careful, sir.
-Right, don't forget.
Hello, sweetheart. What are you doing?
Have you filled out the form
for the student exchange?
I told you I didn't need to.
I'm not going.
Cha, listen to me.
Oca, can you listen to me?
Oca!
Ca, friends and environment
is what decides how your future will be.
If you hang around successful people,
you may be successful too.
-But if you
-It's only for two weeks, right?
Can you be successful from just two weeks?
First,
I don't like you interjecting.
Second
why can't you understand, Cha?
I am confused.
How about this?
Have you ever asked me about what I want?
You haven't, have you?
I will study upstairs.
It seems you have to start
listening to what she wants.
She's a grown up now,
not a child anymore.
But how could you refuse
a student exchange to Italy?
That's exactly what she means.
That's what you want,
not her, isn't it?
Miss, be careful!
You want to go to
the internet cafe, don't you?
That's a new bag, isn't it?
You can be envious,
but don't forget
you've got school tomorrow.
Of course.
Oh, right. Mom sold your red bag
to that prostitute.
Are you serious?
Umar! Hey, I haven't finished
Did you just get back?
Shut up. Mom will be mad at me.
Wow, my younger brother is very diligent.
He's woken up this early in the day.
Of course, I have school to attend.
Don't you know a mother's instinct
has never been wrong?
You slept in these clothes? Really?
I fell asleep at internet cafe.
I mean in my room, Mom.
So, your room is now at the internet cafe?
No, I didn't go to the internet cafe.
-Be smarter if you want to lie!
-Yes, Ma'am.
I'm sorry.
You're protecting your brother now?
-No, I don't know anything.
-I'm sorry, Ma'am!
Make a cup of tea for me, please.
There's you as well.
Only talking about tea.
What is your duty before sleeping?
Don't you need to check whether
the doors and windows are locked,
the lights are turned off,
and your children are in their rooms?
You don't know your son just came home
from the internet cafe, right?
It's better you two are not friendly.
There's nothing good
coming out of you being friendly.
Umar, you just came home
from the internet cafe?
Yes, Dad.
But, I swear, at the internet cafe
I was just playing games.
Not flirting with a prostitute.
Ouch!
-I'm really mad at you!
-Mom!
That's why you really like
going to the internet cafe!
Hey, Tika.
Don't you want to buy
a donut for breakfast?
You used to like my donuts so much.
Alright, I want five to take away.
Yeah, okay.
Hey Tika, do you need money so bad
that you opened up donations?
What are you talking about?
Your mother told us in a chat group.
To pay for your debt.
Yes, I also got the message.
She said it's for your debt.
I have never opened up donations?
Hello?
Tik, are you really okay?
What's wrong with me?
It's about the money you need
to pay your debt.
I think I could transfer it tomorrow.
Is that okay?
Crap!
Tika!
I'm dead meat.
Come here.
-What is it, sir?
-Come in, I want to talk.
Tika!
Tika.
What is it, sir?
How do Gen Zers socialize?
Your generation and Gen Z
aren't too far off, are they?
At least you can
understand them better, right?
Right?
Not too far off, sir.
Right.
-Oca!
-Mom!
So far so good,
because you're the one who pick me up.
Is there something's wrong
if your father picks you up?
I have to force myself all the time
when I'm with him.
You still remember
who wanted me to study here?
But that's because this school is good.
Good for who, Mom? For me?
Every day I have to be friends
with fake people.
Anyway, you father only wanted
what's best for his only child.
Don't forget, Tik,
tomorrow evening, alright?
Tik, I once heard our law officials say
that you didn't need to
pay your online loans,
because a lot of
their activities are illegal.
Just like your case.
The problem is, if I don't pay,
their employees will suffer,
because they don't meet their target.
Why are you sympathizing
with their employees?
Well
Well, they're only employees.
They work for a company
and are just following orders.
And a debt must be paid.
You are right.
But how can I be free from all of this?
Free from all what?
All of my shopping habits
that causes my debt to pile up.
Okay.
Next time, when you want to buy something
you count from one to a hundred first.
That will give you time
to think about it more.
Do you really need that item or not?
-Count to a hundred?
-Yes.
Just try it.
Mom.
Hi.
It's unusual for you
to come home this early.
-Where is Oca?
-She's upstairs.
-There?
-Yes.
Wait a minute.
In this live,
I want to share tips and tricks
to dress yourself in winter.
First, I have a pink sweater
that is so cute.
Combined with this flowery cardigan.
It's very cool to wear in winter, right?
Also, a pair of black and white jeans.
In winter we need multiple layers, right?
But how to make it affordable,
yet still looks cultured?
Very good, right?
Also this beanie. Very cute!
I have more. Wait a minute.
I promise to buy winter clothes,
so you don't need multiple layers.
-Right, Cha?
-What are you doing?
I'm wrong again.
I thought I heard that
-Stop, Dad. Okay.
-you want to tell yourself
It's not that. You won't understand.
-Are you okay?
-Enough. Stop!
-Cha?
-Enough, Dad!
Cha?
Just go away!
Oca is really moody, isn't she?
It's so bad.
My head hurts handling her.
That's what puberty is.
You don't need to force her,
or she can turn rebellious.
What do you mean by force?
Just go with the flow. It's nothing.
Go with the flow how?
I don't do anything in particular.
The point is,
you don't need to force things.
If you don't have the money
for the student exchange,
then don't force it.
Who said there's no money?
The point is,
Oca can join the student exchange.
Don't worry about the money,
that's my problem.
Okay?
Alright, if we already have the money
I just want to remind you
not to force things.
Besides, Oca herself
doesn't really want the student exchange.
Let's go here.
It seems they have winter clothes.
Alright, come on.
Here, Oca must like this. It's very nice!
Wait a minute.
Does this fit with
young people's taste nowadays?
This is fashion, sir.
Right. That's why I invited you.
Alright then.
-Get this. I think it fits me as well.
-Miss, please ring this up.
What else?
That's enough for now.
We will search at other places.
Sir, I think while Oca is in Italy,
tell her to become a personal shopper.
-That means extra money for her.
-You are right.
But does she want to do it or not?
She has a lot of pride.
Just like her father.
-Or maybe it's her father
-Well, that's right.
Is it ready?
Wait a minute.
-Sorry.
-Thank you, sir.
Thanks a lot, sir.
Tik?
Do you want that wallet?
No, sir.
It's okay. I'll buy that for you.
Because you have
accompanied me shopping for Oca.
-Are you serious?
-I lied.
I wouldn't lie.
Just take it, Tik.
One, two, three
Four
You don't need to think, Tik.
He will pay for it.
Eight, nine
When will you get this again?
Just take it!
Fourteen, fifteen
Enough, Tik.
You count too much.
Before someone buys it.
Seventeen, eighteen
Come on, take it. Take it quick!
-Nineteen, twenty.
-Tik!
I will pay for that.
-Wait a minute.
-Are we done?
One minute, please.
Oops!
Don't drop it, that's good stuff.
Thank you, sir.
We should do this more often.
Where have you come from, Tika?
-From the office, of course.
-No.
You're lying.
I know that you
didn't come from the office.
Wait a minute.
It's not what it seems.
What do you actually do at your work?
How could you do this to us?
Since when did you become a sugar baby,
being kept by a manther?
For the sake of money and style,
you're willing to risk everything?
Just like other women here did?
Hold on!
Give me a chance to explain things.
Okay, now tell the truth.
What actually happened?
You don't even know
how it started, do you?
Don't just jump to conclusions!
That "manther", Mr. Tanto,
is the boss at my office.
He's the guild master for
collecting client's debt, the debt-col!
-Taxation.
-Taxation!
Yes, taxation. He's my taxation boss.
He asked for my help,
because his daughter
will join a student exchange to Europe.
So he requested my help to find
winter clothes for his daughter.
And that's it.
See? Don't just jump to conclusions,
accusing your daughter
of being a kept woman!
It's a bad thing, you know?
Mr. Tanto was just asking for her help,
to pick out clothes for his daughter.
It's not like you put any thought
into what I'll be wearing anyway.
-Yes, I'm sorry.
-You should be.
-Hardheaded.
-You're the one who started it.
-Don't be so prejudiced.
-Why do you provoke things?
I don't provoke,
you're the one who's being prejudiced.
Hello, Dion.
Yes, what's up, Tik?
Your tips aren't working.
I hadn't finished counting to 50
and I already took the thing.
Luckily, someone bought it for me.
Well then,
that's a different ball game, right?
Tik?
You skipped class today?
Why did you do that, all of so sudden?
You don't like your school?
-It's not like that.
-Oca.
Whether you like it or not,
you shouldn't skip class.
Perhaps the way your father
enrolled you into a prestigious school
That made him proud as a parent.
You should respect that,
at the very least.
Hey, hey, hey!
-Your daughter skipped class today.
-Huh?
Oca skipped class?
You're concerned about
the student exchange, right?
Here.
These are some goods
for you to take to Europe.
Relax, I've also paid
all of the fees for you to go.
Dad! Why don't you understand me?
I've already told you.
Why are you going the extra length
in making me join the student exchange?
I will be alright,
even if I don't join it.
Mom? Why is Oca crying?
Cha.
I don't have any agenda.
Just like other parents,
I'm going above and beyond
to support your development.
Dad, all parents will go
above and beyond for their children.
But would you spend your time on me?
To talk to me,
listen to me, understand me?
Would you?
Of course!
Like now, I've already found out
what your preference would be.
I even asked Tika
to help me find things
that kids nowadays see
as very cultured things.
So, here they are.
Cha?
Cha? Oca!
Tika? Who is that?
You have another woman?
It's not like that.
We're talking about our daughter now.
Yes, but who is Tika
that you took her to shop for Oca?
-Is she that special?
-Nobody said that.
-So then?
-Oca knows her.
Huh? How does she know Oca?
Cha!
Sir.
It seems that I'm not a good father, eh?
Why do you say that?
My wife and kid hate everything I do.
Hang in there, sir.
It turns out that Oca doesn't want
to join the student exchange.
Seriously? But you bought her
so many items for that.
What's more
my wife suspected
that I was having an affair with you.
While you were only
helping me shop for Oca.
Why is it so hard?
To know what's in a woman's mind.
And I have two of them.
Bloody hell!
Why are you here?
Yes, sir, it's hard indeed
to understand what's in their mind.
Tika.
Hi, Cha. Are you at school?
Um, yeah, why?
Oh, it's nothing.
I just want to talk to you.
About?
About you, actually.
Um, so listen, let me tell you something.
A few days ago, your father asked me
to help him buy you some clothes.
Why did he asked me,
because he knows that he has bad taste.
But he really loves you, Cha.
You're very lucky
to have a father like him.
I know.
But, that's just the problem.
Why can't he love me the way I want?
I think because he doesn't know
how to express it in any other way.
But he tried so hard.
He tried so hard to understand you,
to know what do you feel.
Although it seems like
he's thinking about himself.
For me, I think
there's lack of communication
between you and your father.
There's a gap between the two of you.
Maybe you guys need to talk more,
to understand each other.
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
Mr. Tanto.
From my point of view
What Oca needs, is not luxurious goods,
or a rich father.
What she needs
is that you can communicate with her.
Because
Why would she need all those fancy items
if her parents don't
communicate with her
or, furthermore, support her.
That's for me, at least.
Sorry.
Take it easy.
Cha.
Cha?
Can I come in?
Cha?
Cha.
I'm so sorry.
For all this time
I never once thought
about how you feel,
or what you want.
I just see things
through my point of view.
From now on
you don't need to do things
you don't want to do.
After you graduate,
you're free to decide
where do you want to study
and what school you want to go to.
I just want to be a father
who can understand my own daughter.
I don't want to just go
above and beyond or whatever.
Because this is your life.
You decide it, and walk through it.
I'll just try
to support you in everything.
If one day you fall
I'll go down the abyss as well.
Just kidding, why so serious?
You forgive me, don't you?
Cha
Please forgive me.
You're not wrong.
It's just that
the way you do things is annoying.
You're a bit insensitive
about your daughter.
If one day I fall
I'll remember
how you always stand back up.
You often fell, after all
even drowning, sometimes
for forcing me to enroll
in international school.
When I already told you
that I didn't want to.
So, you forgive me?
Let me see
Please?
Alrighty then.
Hug.
-I love you, my daughter.
-I love you too, Dad.
-Where's Mr. Tanto?
-Gone home already.
I see.
Tik, have you eaten yet?
Don't go blushing,
I just asked to eat together.
On what occasion, I wonder.
Nothing special. Do you want to come?
Why are you contemplating,
as if you have a date?
Take back your words!
Many men want me, you know.
-I see.
-Yes, you see.
-So, are you coming?
-What will we eat? Is it pricey?
Soto.
-Alright, then.
-Yeah.
-Let's go.
-Yeah, let's go.
This time you went way too far, Tik.
Did you know that Mr. Tanto
sat on the rooftop till midnight?
Alone.
It's just that I was afraid
he might suddenly jump,
then I would be in trouble.
You know what?
Because of this, I understand that
each individual is different.
Also, that we understand
by listening to each other.
Not pretending to be a hero,
like you and I yesterday.
I'm sorry.
I know you have good intentions,
but what you did was wrong.
-I already apologized for that.
-Yes, you did.
But, I'm grateful
to be able to work there.
Why?
Well
Because I can listen
to what people are ranting about
to know that someone can have
a different point of view from mine.
So, I learned a lot there.
You got to know me, also.
Party-pooper!
Huh? Tika?
Dion?
Would you like to apply
for a job here again?
Tika works with me now, sir,
in the Fintech office.
Excuse me.
-How can I help you?
-Actually, I
What are you doing here?
It hurts.
I was learning how to make money.
Excuse, and excuse.
Want to see this flying at you?
