Hello, honey.

Puti, meet your new mother.

- Mother. - Hello, child.

And this is your new sister, Mirah.

Hello, sister.

Such a beautiful bride.

Mbah Warso is a genius makeup artist. Of course the bride is beautiful.

Perfect.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the wedding reception of Mirah and Aryo.

- Thank you, ma'am. - Please sign here.

The next event is the egg-stepping ceremony.

This tradition symbolizes the hope that the bride and groom

will soon be blessed with a child.

Ladies and gentlemen, please remain quiet

and help preserve the sacredness of the ceremony. Thank you.

What omen is this?

An omen that we should've picked better eggs.

Thank you.

- Congratulations, Mirah. - Thank you.

- Congratulations, Aryo. - Thanks.

- Congratulations, Mirah. - Congratulations.

Stop thinking bad things.

- That's a rotten egg! - What matters is that they're happy.

Thank you, ma'am.

Smile. You are beautiful today.

Don't overthink about the egg.

It's fine.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

What's the background of his wife?

I'm his cousin, and I don't even know where he met his wife.

Aryo does surveys for a living.

He goes around, interviewing people.

Maybe he met her while working.

Do you want a boy or a girl?

I'm happy.

It's my dream to have a complete family.

I'm so happy to be your husband too.

Well, although,

you're a bad cook.

You know how I hate the smell of spices.

I know.

It's fine.

There are many eateries near our house.

We can eat there.

Is it really okay?

It's totally fine, my darling.

- Hey, honey? - Yes, dear?

Why are we getting so many bananas as wedding gifts from the locals?

The banana symbolizes good fortune, abundance, and happiness.

It's like what we have now.

Honey.

Good morning, my darling wife.

Sorry, I have to go to work so early so I can provide for our household,

filled with warmth and happiness, like you dream of.

I wrote down a recipe to make good banana fritters.

So who else live here with you, sir?

My children have been working in Jakarta for a while.

I live here all alone.

But, what about…

I mean,

my wife, Sukiyem,

is starting to lose her memory.

She's so absent-minded.

- So I'm practically living alone. - I see.

I get it now.

Are you a newlywed?

Yes, sir.

A newlywed shouldn't be away working too much.

I have to achieve my target in order to get my bonus.

Please, come in!

Excuse me.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

The radio is broken.

Just tap it hard to turn it off.

Well…

Okay.

Harder.

Harder.

I said, harder.

I'm Lasmi.

BANANA FRITTERS.

Who is it?

I'm here to check your power meter.

Are you

new in town?

Are you a newlywed?

That's right.

Who's prettier?

Me, or your wife?

Actually,

my wife's prettier.

You don't seem to be registered.

Who's prettier?

You're prettier!

Who is it?

I'm here to check your power meter.

Why do you keep coming back?

Sir!

Oh, my God. Dear God, help me.

Help me.

Please, help me.

Oh, dear God.

God, please show us Your grace and mercy.

God, forgive me.

Who's prettier?

Darn!

Crap! Shoot!

Who's prettier?

- Crap! - Who's prettier?

Poor Aryo,

- he is married to death. - What does that mean?

His wife may have been cursed by Bahu Laweyan.

Men who marry Bahu Laweyan women will definitely die.

Why didn't you believe me?

The rotten eggs at their wedding were a sign.

Her parents died of an accident because she is jinxed.

Oh, my son.

My only son.

Get out!

Get out!

- Get out of my house! - Sir?

Get out!

- Aryo. - You brought bad luck!

Get out of my house!

AFTER MANY MOONS.

Wait, sir!

Thank you.

- Please move it immediately. - Ms. Endang.

Sorry, I'm late.

It's your first day, and you're already late?

Sorry, ma'am.

You should be grateful to work here.

Yes, ma'am.

Come then.

- Hello, Mr. Budi Darmawan. The thing is… - The head of this factory is Mr. Agus.

He's single and looking for a wife.

- Who knows, you might get hooked. - Yes, ma'am.

And that one,

the guy in the checkered shirt,

his name is Mr. Sunyoto B. A.

He likes approaching women in this factory.

Don't let him get you.

Yes, ma'am.

Come on then.

I'm sorry.

This is for our kid's schoolbooks.

Let it go.

Don't underestimate the value of hair.

Moreover, real hair.

Just think of it as an investment.

It'll grow back.

You know, if it weren't for this factory,

I don't know what would happen to the people around here.

Yes, ma'am.

It's true that the pay is below minimum wage.

But at least you don't have to go work abroad.

People here are hard workers. Unlike you.

It's your first day and you're already late. Sit there.

They'll show you how to ventilate hair for wigs.

She brings bad luck!

- What is wrong with you? - But it's true!

- What do you mean, "bad luck"? - People die because of you!

- What are you talking about? - Ms. Endang, settle this!

- This woman is dangerous! - She's freaking out.

Help!

Hey, what's happening? What's going on?

Something scary, sir!

- Run, sir! - Oh, God. Please protect us.

- Hit him! - What's wrong with you?

Oh, God! Please protect us.

Come on! Go to the right!

Dear God.

What's so scary about a pretty girl like you?

That's silly, right?

Those factory workers.

They just don't get it.

RANCAK BANA EATERY

Bana, two rice with rendang and two teas please.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

- And for you. - Thank you.

Dig in.

RANCAK BANA EATERY

Mr. Agus.

What if they're right? What if I'm jinxed?

- Everyone who gets close to me dies. - I wouldn't believe things like that.

If I'd listened to gossip, I wouldn't be running this factory.

But what happened earlier?

Don't think about it. Okay?

Just calm yourself down.

Take one or two days off.

It's fine. I will still pay you.

Okay?

Now eat. It's good.

I've been thinking.

We've known each other for a while now.

We complement each other.

I'll take care of you.

We'll be happy together, Mirah.

Who is it?

Mirah, I'm home.

I brought these for you.

Be careful, it's hot.

It is hot as hell, Mirah.

Mirah! People at the factory said you bring bad luck.

You could get people killed! Get out of my house right now!

Get out of here!

Get out!

Hey! What's going on here?

Why are you all out here? Get to work!

It's Mirah, sir.

I see.

Hi, Mirah.

Are you all right, Mirah?

Why are you sleeping here?

Be careful, sir. You could end up dead.

Watch your mouth!

It's true, sir.

- Watch it, all of you! - Be careful, sir.

Hi, Mr. Agus.

They refuse to work if Mirah stays here.

Even after I threatened to fire them if they didn't get back to work.

But we can't afford to lose that many workers.

Fine.

I'll handle this.

Mirah.

It breaks my heart.

Maybe it's time for you

to reconsider my offer.

The house the factory provided me is huge.

And I live there all by myself.

We can make it feel like home together.

Mr. Agus…

You jerk.

Apparently, the way to deal with Mirah

is to marry her.

Aren't you eating, sir?

I lost my appetite.

Is it okay if we eat?

Whatever.

We skipped lunch. We've been working hard since this morning,

preparing for Mr. Agus' wedding.

It's true.

- Mr. Agus, the head of the factory? - That's right.

He managed to snag a pretty factory worker.

Pretty hair.

Sexy lips.

Gorgeous skin. Very nice.

Yummy!

They must be busy in the bedroom tonight.

Doing every move you can think of.

Shut up!

I'm not paying for your food.

- Sir? - Sir!

Who's paying? Not me. I don't have a dime.

Don't pretend to get possessed now.

I'm really possessed.

Are you possessed or hungry?

- I'm really possessed. - Don't be silly.

All right, fine.

Check, please.

You're not from around here?

We live nearby.

We're here for my wife's sister's wedding.

She married the head of the factory.

He's also a client of mine.

- How much? - Huh?

How much?

- It's 30,000 rupiah. - Here you go.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Let's go, honey.

I didn't know

you had a sister.

Why didn't you stay at her place when you got evicted?

We kind of drifted apart.

I was surprised to see her today.

She didn't come

to my first wedding.

That's not very nice of her.

But it's all right.

Now you can patch things up and get close again.

Her husband is Budi Darmawan,

the regional head of the Community Bank.

He often extends loans to our factory.

So it'd be nice to get close to them again.

Mirah.

I've been waiting for this for so long.

What's wrong?

What's wrong, Mirah?

I'm hungry.

Men are easy to handle.

If they're happy at the dinner table

and in the bedroom,

they're not going anywhere.

It's easy to make vegetable curry.

I've picked out the ingredients for you.

I'll give you the cooking instructions.

Just add garlic to whatever you're cooking.

It'll make any dish more flavorful.

Wow, my wife's very own cooking.

Can't wait.

Is it good?

- It's good. - Really?

Maybe

there are some spices missing.

It could use a bit more flavor.

But it's okay. As long as I'm eating with you,

anything tastes good.

What is it now, Mirah?

I'm sorry, I'm not ready.

It's all right.

I'll take a shower.

It's hotter than hell today.

Marriage is like

two people in the same boat,

sailing toward a new place,

leaving all the bad things behind.

Try to remember.

Have you ever hurt a friend or a family member?

How come the lice are so big?

There are so many nits.

- Hi, Puti. - Hello.

See you around.

Glad to see you are happy now…

With a complete family.

What do you want?

We can finally live a happy life.

My daughter is home.

- Hi, Mom. - Hi, sweetheart.

My love.

Go get cleaned up. Change your clothes, and we'll have lunch.

- I've cooked your favorite dish. - Vegetable curry?

I want us to bury the hatchet.

I have to tend to my daughter.

Thanks for having me.

I'll get going now.

Who was that, Mom?

An acquaintance.

OFFICIAL RESIDENCE OF MAHKOTA DEWI

Who is it?

I'm here to check your power meter.

Thank you, ma'am.

The big one.

It's been a week. How's the factory head doing?

He's fine and dandy.

How's your vegetable curry? Is it good now?

Or is there anything better?

Let's get going.

Here you go.

Here's your change.

No, keep it.

- Thank you. - Bye, Mrs. Siyem.

Excuse me, Mr. Agus.

Mr. Sunyoto is waiting for you in the hall.

Sunyoto?

Hey, stop fooling around.

I'm working on a quality control issue.

Sorry I had to call you here.

What is it?

This wig passed quality control,

but was mistakenly labeled "reject." It's already been sold.

It was bought by a retail customer.

Here it is, Mr. Agus.

- Not bad. - Not bad.

Here, buy your wife something nice.

My wife only cares about her Quran reading club.

Jerk.

On June 11, members of Mojokerto City Police,

named Briptu Rian Wicaksono,

was allegedly set on fire by his own wife

sustaining burns to 96% of his body and was conscious at that time

the victim died

in hospital with burns to 96% of his body

the body was buried in the public cemetery…

Why are there horse-drawn carriages at this hour?

Seriously?

Two of these.

- Anything else? - Two of these.

Great, flat tire. Damn.

Mirah?

What's wrong?

Mirah?

Mirah, what's wrong?

Crap.

Seriously?

Where did it go?

Let me take you to a clinic.

Mirah, I think that's Mr. Agus' car.

- Excuse me. - Excuse me.

Agus!

Oh, my God.

Honey…

Why are you home so late?

I was on my way home when I got some bad news from one of my clients.

Who?

Don't be too shocked, okay?

It's Mr. Agus.

Your sister's husband was killed out on the street.

I'll give Fara a goodnight kiss.

Honey, you reek of cigarettes and alcohol.

Why don't you wash up first?

Thank you.

Mirah, I'm sorry.

That box belongs to the factory.

I should take it.

I'm sorry.

That's all.

Where's Burhan?

He's with Mr. Sunyoto,

evicting Mirah from Mr. Agus' house.

What's taking them so long?

Maybe they stopped by somewhere for lunch?

Where's he going?

- Maybe there's an issue with the rendang. - What's wrong with it?

Rendang emergency.

Do you have any shallots?

Today's shallots are bad. Check for yourself.

I'm happy.

It's my dream to have a complete family.

I'm also really happy to be married to you.

We'll be happy together, Mirah.

- Sir. - Mr. Bejo, everything all right?

- Everything's good. - Great.

- Bagus. - Hey.

- I heard you can help me find a job? - Sure, have a seat.

I'm looking to buy some beef. Is it not available today?

Try another district. Beef doesn't sell well here.

Thank you.

Do you want to be a migrant worker?

It will cost you, though.

Do you have any rice fields to sell?

Well…

This is a new karaoke place.

If you can sing well, you'll make a lot of money.

But we have to split it.

Come on!

Come on!

Stand up.

You're pretty.

I'll take care of the costs.

Don't worry about it.

On one condition…

Spend a night with me.

- What do you say? - Watch your mouth!

- Hello. - Yes?

- I need beef for rendang. - How much?

- Two kilos. - Got it.

You…

You're still alive?

My son is dead, and you're still alive?

Get out of my sight!

Go away and don't come back!

Mirah?

- Go away! - Mirah!

- What's going on? - Go away!

Calm down, ma'am!

- What's going on? - My son is dead because of her.

Go away!

Be careful,

or you'll end up like my son, Aryo.

RANCAK BANA EATERY

Aren't you scared being around me?

Why should I be?

Well,

I bring bad luck.

Don't worry.

You're safe here.

Thanks.

Mirah.

Yes?

Can I come in?

Yes.

I made you some hot tea.

Sorry for the mess.

I had this room ready for my mother.

But she never came.

I hope you're comfortable.

This is more than enough.

If you need anything, just tell me.

Bana.

Why are you helping me?

I believe…

Every action…

Comes with consequences.

I'll leave you alone now.

Mirah?

Mirah?

Mirah, wake up.

The faces of my ex-husbands keep haunting me.

The Quran…

Does not recognize sorcery or conjuring,

but it mentions witchcraft 33 times.

I'm haunted by my past too.

I went to Java to find work,

taking my mother's rendang recipe with me.

Java,

with all its wealth and abundance,

has changed my life.

My business did well.

When I returned to Padang,

I didn't see my mother.

Then my mother fell ill.

Her broken heart killed her.

One by one, bad things came to ruin my life.

And here I am.

Rendang always reminds me of home.

And every time I cook it,

it feels like I'm making peace with my past.

Maybe you should make peace with your past.

Where should I start?

Making peace with my past.

You can try…

To remember

the day your life changed.

Perfect.

Since I retired from doing bridal makeup,

not many people come to visit me.

My eyes are also failing me.

Do you live alone?

How do you get food?

Some people haven't forgotten me.

They would come over and give me some rice.

Don't cut it too big. It's not efficient.

Here.

- Sorry. - Can you peel some shallots?

Sure.

Cooking rendang is a slow process.

It's a good practice for patience.

Be patient. Again.

Again.

More patience.

How is my rendang?

Is it good?

Lamak bana.

What does it mean?

Very tasty.

I came here

because you're the only one I know who was there on my happy day.

My past keeps haunting me.

One by one, misfortunes took my happiness away.

"And from the evil of those

who practice witchcraft by blowing on knots.

"And from the evil of an envier when he envies."

God has spoken the truth.

Now I'm feeling that happiness.

And I won't let it be taken away again.

What's happening to my life?

Two years ago,

there was a girl

who came here

to ask me for a favor.

I'm old. I don't have long to live.

I'll tell you everything.

I want her

to live miserably.

I won't let her

get her happy ending.

Patience, child.

Write down her name on this paper.

The one who harmed you.

Before long,

she'll come here

and ask me to do her wedding makeup.

Oh, the ever powerful.

Goddess Durga.

Won't you allow.

The girl named Mirah.

To be the host.

Of the powerful Laweyan.

Those who have been with her.

Will die.

What have you done with my life?

All men who have been with you

will die.

The Laweyan within you is the cause, Mirah.

Get out!

Get out!

She brings bad luck!

People die because of you!

Get out of here!

My son is dead because of her.

Your sister's husband was killed out on the street.

Mirah.

Have you eaten?

Do you have to see your clients this late at night?

Sorry.

That comes with the job, honey.

I'm sorry.

Take care.

Don't come home too late.

Well, I'm going straight home when I'm done, okay?

I'm going now.

You said,

"Every action comes with consequences," right?

My step sister gave me something.

And it's important for you to repay her?

Please forgive what I did in the past.

Please forgive my late mother.

My mother just wanted to be happy.

Please forgive us.

Is it possible

for forgiveness

to stop all my pain?

Mirah…

Mirah.

Just relax.

I've been waiting so long for this moment.

Don't be so feisty.

Don't be so feisty.

You smell so nice. So tasty.

Mirah?

Mirah?

Mirah?

Mirah…

It's hot in here.

It's hot in here.

Honey?

Honey?

- My coffee! - Okay!

Honey, my coffee!

Okay!

Honey?

Can you tap the TV?

- It's been turning on by itself all day. - Okay.

What did I tell you? Tap on the TV.

What's that?

I'm going to lie down for a bit.

God hears those who praise Him.

What was that?

Honey!

I'm home.

Honey?

Honey?

Honey!

Mirah?

Mirah!

Mirah?

Mirah.

Mirah?

Dear Bana,

I'm sorry I have to go.

Thank you for all your kindness, Bana.

Like you said,

every action comes with consequences.

Now I'm paying for everything I did in the past.

And I…

I don't want you to die because of it.

I'm happy to have once imagined being happy with you.

Hello, honey.

Puti, meet your new mother.

- Mother. - Hello, child.

And this is your new sister, Mirah.

Hello, sister.

How was the drive here?

It was pleasant. Come.

Come here, sis. Play with me.

Sis, you're hurting me!

Sis, my hair hurts!

Please, it hurts!

MY REVENGE AWAITS

As the proverb goes,

"What's love without sacrifice?"

- Right, Bana? Here you go. - Yes, ma'am.

This is all the information we have about Mirah.

Hello.

Mirah?

Right. I'll be home late.

Stay safe at home.

"Shallot Girl, the evil stepsister ends up miserable."

Paying for

her bad deeds.

And Garlic Girl, the kind sister,

lives happily

"ever after."

So, Shallot Girl is the bad one, Mom?

Okay?

There's no need for this.

Calm down, Mr. Budi.

Relax. Cheers.

What makes someone a bad person?

They do cruel things.

Like what?

Honey?

Honey?

Honey?

For goodness' sake.

Honey?

Seriously, honey,

why do you keep getting drunk like this?

I was so happy

to see you at my wedding to Agus.

My first time here,

I was so happy…

To see your lovely house…

Your adorable daughter…

And your loving husband.

I'm not jealous anymore, like I used to be…

When I saw your beautiful hair.

I don't know why, when we were young,

I was so jealous of you.

When I came to apologize…

I truly meant it.

I want a happy ending.

Why can't you understand that people can change?

My dreams were crushed

because of the cruel things you did.

Not just to my body,

but to my heart as well.

You don't deserve your happy ending!

That's the end of your happiness.

You beast!

Sis, you're hurting me!

Sis, my hair hurts!

How do I lift the curse?

The only one who can lift it

is the one who put it on you.

Thank you, Mbah Warso.

I just don't want her to be happy.

Everybody has a dark past.

One wrongdoing…

And we have to live with it our whole life.

Can we forgive ourselves?

Will you

carry this burden with me?

Let's start over.

I'm not a good person.

I'm a bad person.

I'm heartless.

Jealousy keeps consuming my heart.

All my life…

I never got the love I wanted.

Maybe…

I never deserved…

I never deserved to be happy.

Including your love.

Don't ever leave me again.
