Hey.

Can you not drag your feet while you're walking?

It's so noisy.

I'm sleepy.

Oh, please.

Are you sleepy or simply lazy?

I'm sleepy and lazy.

-I'm chubby, remember? -Come on.

I'm chubby too. But I don't walk like you.

What are you laughing at?

Go on, laugh.

If someone laughs after you, then you'll know.

Your mouth is very insensitive.

You don't believe me? Just laugh.

Laugh more.

Stop laughing.

It's late now, right? Come on.

What was that sound?

Who's there?

Hurry up.

Calm down.

You're fat.

I'm fat too.

You eat a lot.

That's our friend.

-Mom! -Mom!

Sit properly. It's difficult for me to steer.

-I am sitting properly. -Look.

The problem is, the motor…

Can you sit properly? It's so hard talking to you.

Do you hear me? Are you deaf or am I deaf?

Can you sit properly?

-I did sit properly. -Yes, I know.

When we get to the junction in front, I'll make the turn.

I asked you to sit properly. Not about the junction.

What junction? I said I'm already seating properly.

He's talking about mangoes this late at night.

We'll buy them tomorrow at Esah's shop.

Now, just sit properly. Then it'll be easier for me to steer.

This guy.

-Od. -What?

Did you hear something?

Coconuts?

You're thinking about fruit at this time of night.

It was mangoes before, now coconuts.

You're asking for a lot of fruit. What else do you want?

It's not coconuts. Did you hear anything just now?

Lice sounds. Your ears are something else.

You can even hear the sounds that lice make.

You're acting weird tonight.

You're suddenly laughing. Why?

-You're so funny. -Funny?

-Seriously. -What did you say? Funny?

Yes. You said I'm funny. I'm funny, right?

There's…

There's a ghost.

-Ghost. -A lice? Funny lice?

Lice.

Ghost?

Why can't I put up my bike stand now of all times?

Where has it gone?

Where's the stand?

Leave me alone.

A ghost!

Guys. Did you hear the rumor that our village is no longer peaceful?

What do you mean?

It looks fine to me.

Hey, Dharma.

I asked you something but you ignored me. You even had the time to play around.

Just say what you want to say.

I don't get to see Mewangi often.

-Hurry up. -Tell me.

Just tell me. What's not peaceful about this?

Listen, Sal.

I heard a rumor that our village…

is under attack by a pontianak.

-As if. -It's true, Sal.

This is what I've heard.

The scariest thing about the pontianak

is that she likes to steal food from people's houses.

That's nonsense.

You can say that. Because you haven't…

-What's that sound? -Did you hear that, Sal?

Sal.

I have goosebumps, Sal.

Wait.

Where are you going?

-Excuse me. -Sal!

Don't leave me behind!

But it's true, uncle Dollah.

Whenever I look at you, I remember this one song.

"Bird's eye chilli."

I want to leave this village.

What's up with you, Sal?

You just got in the frame but you already want to leave.

I'm scared, Malik.

I don't want that ghost to squash me.

Just look at me.

It'll be different for uncle Dollah.

-He's plump. -Hey!

You simply run your mouth asking that ghost to squash me.

What do you think I am?

Does my body look ugly to you?

She wants to squash you because your body is pretty.

I'm scared.

I'm so mad watching the two of you.

You are so busy being in love.

It's better if you two get squashed by that pontianak.

I very much agree.

Now, we need to be careful.

Our village is under attack by Ponti Melati.

-Ponti Melati? -Ponti Melati?

Yes. Ponti Melati.

Her full name is…

Melatilanak.

Up!

I was flying earlier.

Gosh.

What's wrong?

I saw Maya Karin flying everywhere with no problems at all.

Don't even mention flying.

I can't even bring myself to float. Gosh.

I'm hungry.

Hey, where are you going, Skinny?

Ponti!

Ponti Melati!

She's bothering our village because she's hungry?

Yes.

Sal.

What's wrong with you, Sal?

What's wrong, Sal?

Why?

Sal!

Salleh.

Sal!

Hey, who's paying for these?

Sal!

Dharma. Why did he look down?

I don't know.

Dharma.

Yes, Wangi.

I'm scared of the pontianak coming back.

Wangi.

I'm right here, aren't I? Don't be afraid.

I'm scared that she'll suddenly come back and haunt me.

I'm not married yet.

Wangi, don't say that.

You'll hurt my feelings.

Why would you feel hurt?

You say that as if you don't want to marry me.

Did I ever say that I'm going to marry you?

-Am I being friend zoned? -Come again?

It's nothing, Wangi.

If Ponti Melati comes to bother you,

I know how to beat her around.

-Oh, no. -What's wrong?

I feel like there's something behind me.

-What is it? -I don't know.

What…

Just forget it. So much for beating that pontianak around.

That's how he is if he wants to be the hero.

You can say that in front of a girl.

If you two are scared, just hide behind me.

Just like how Wangi always does. She hides behind me.

-So smart. -Look at you.

That technique is outdated.

That's the technique to save yourself.

I think he has watched too many Korean dramas.

That's why his dialogues are so sweet.

But…

He's mistaken if he thinks we're going to believe him.

-Why? -Because…

Tell him, Sal.

That fat pontianak always shows up behind you.

-Let's go, Wangi. Just ignore them. -Let's go.

-Did you hear that, Sal? -Dharma…

Did you hear that, Sal?

-What about me? -Good luck to you.

Hurry up, Sal!

-Uncle Bayang! -Uncle Bayang!

-Peace be upon you, uncle Bayang! -Uncle Bayang!

-Uncle Bayang. -Uncle Bayang!

-Is he deaf? -Uncle Bayang!

Calm down…

Why are you screaming outside my house so early in the morning?

Gosh, uncle Bayang.

You're wearing an apron with a ladle in hand.

Were you in the kitchen?

What? Do you think I can't cook?

A widower is a great cook.

But you don't have to wear a pink apron.

-Exactly. -Just let me be.

This is my favorite color.

Uncle Bayang.

Tell him, Sal. Why me? You do it.

Gosh.

If I bang your head, then you'll know.

-What's the problem? -Just tell him!

Before my soup starts to boil. It'll be for nothing.

We're in a pinch here but you're still thinking about your soup?

Don't you want to hear the voice of the people?

What's the problem?

Calm down. I'm going to tell you now.

Wait, let me be afraid again.

Uncle Bayang.

We heard Melati's voice.

Don't say it out loud. She'll hear you.

-Don't. -Okay…

Uncle Bayang.

We heard Ponti Melati's voice, uncle Bayang.

Ponti Melati?

-Melati the pontianak? -Yes. Melati the pontianak.

Uncle Bayang.

Ponti Melati.

-This is dangerous. -Where…

Where did you hear it?

We heard it at the edge of the village.

This is bad, uncle Bayang.

Because there are a lot of people cooking during the day.

-Maybe that's why she came out. -That's why she shows up.

Because a lot of people are cooking.

Please, uncle Bayang.

-Please… -Even during the day?

What are we going to do, uncle Bayang?

-When the people are cooking? -When the people are cooking.

-Uncle Bayang! -Uncle Bayang!

Don't leave us, uncle Bayang!

Oh, no.

Uncle Bayang!

My foot!

Oh, God.

Oh, my love. My love…

You lost twice yesterday, didn't you?

Don't be arrogant. I will win against you tonight.

I was giving you a chance last night.

Uncle Dollah!

-How are you? -Uncle Dollah.

Where are you two going this late at night?

What do you mean?

Uncle Dollah.

Aren't you scared of opening your stall until late at night?

Let me tell you something.

My stall is nothing fancy. It's just an old stall.

Even the thieves don't want to rob my stall.

Hey, uncle Dollah.

We're not talking about some thieves, uncle Dollah.

-But we're talking about the pontianak. -Hey!

If you want to talk about that…

If you have nothing else to do, just go home and sleep.

It'll be hard if you talk about that here.

That's the problem.

Maybe you seldom watch TikToks about our village.

The pontianak is trending on our village's TikTok.

Everyone knows about it.

The pontianak that always wears white.

-I want to make him understand. -Always wear white?

You know about it, right?

Why are you laughing?

I know her.

-You know her? -She wears white and she's pretty.

She has a song. Someone made a song for her.

What's the song again?

The white of jasmine

The red of a ruby

The ones who wear white are kind

I didn't expect that

If they wear white and frequent the mosque, they're kind.

But this one doesn't go to the mosque.

If it's that white, I know them.

That is ST 12, uncle Dollah. Charly van Houten.

Don't ever try

But this one is spookier, uncle Dollah.

Malik.

I have to say it. Otherwise, he won't get it.

Uncle Dollah. It's a pontianak,

Uncle Dollah. See?

I'm getting goosebumps now.

-Malik. Don't say it. -I'm feeling it, Sal.

And I feel like…

I'm almost…

Run, Sal!

-Come on, Sal! -Didn't I tell you…

What's wrong with him?

Where are you going?

Pontianak…

Pontianak.

That's how the story goes, uncle Bayang.

I think…

this must be Melati's doing.

It's bad if she can even get into people's houses, uncle Bayang.

My stomach. It hurts.

-It gets spookier over time. -And it hurts more.

-Oh, gosh. -Ouch!

Then what are we going to do?

We…

don't have to do anything.

Because she doesn't do anything to us, right?

How could you say such an illogical line like that?

Did you say that she doesn't do anything?

The whole village is under attack.

I also ran so fast until my innards came out of my bottom.

It's painful, you know?

-It got on my underwear. -Yes.

Melati is just hungry.

She just wants to find some food.

So, you don't have to worry.

Mewangi.

Mewangi.

-Mewangi. -She's awake.

She's awake.

-Mewangi. -Ouch.

Wangi's mom. Finally, you're awake.

I thought you were not waking up until the end of the movie.

Mewangi.

Why am I lying here?

She acts as if she doesn't know.

Why would you say that to an elderly?

I'll hit you both later.

How dare you say that to Wangi's mom?

Humph.

What a farce.

-"I'll hit you." -Enough.

Wangi's mom.

Can you tell us how you managed to pass out?

Ponti Melati.

Listen to me, everyone.

Since…

our village is dealing with the phenomenon of…

the chubby Ponti Melati…

I have made a decision.

I have a strategy where…

Ponti Melati won't be bothering our village any longer.

Brilliant. This is a real village chief.

What is it?

Listen.

I have an idea and a strategy.

I know…

and I'm optimistic that…

Ponti Melati is just hungry.

That's why she comes and looks for food.

So, after deliberate consideration,

I've concluded that…

we need to hide all of our food

in our respective kitchen cabinets.

Why does his idea sound so great?

Is it that simple, uncle Bayang?

Yes. Is it that easy?

Dollah!

Is it that simple?

I'm so mad at you guys.

Just listen to what uncle Bayang has to say first.

That's right.

Fine.

-Where are you going? -Where are you going?

I want to hide my rice in the cabinet.

Uncle Bayang said so, didn't he?

Do you have rice in your house?

Do you think I don't eat rice?

-What do I eat? -Wait. Relax.

Now…

What's the verdict?

Do you all agree or not with my suggestion?

Bayang.

What about my stall? Do I have to hide my rice too?

Figure it out yourself.

If you ask me…

don't you have a restaurant business? So just leave it open.

-You just have to accept it. -I'm scared of the pontianak.

The customer is always right. No matter who they are.

Just entertain them.

We'll see if this plan works or not.

If the plan doesn't work,

uncle Bayang will need to think of another plan.

If it doesn't work?

Don't close down my stall.

Hopefully, it works.

We're doomed if we need to think of another plan.

Hurry up, mom. Otherwise she'll come.

More…

Close it…

-More… -That's all.

-That's all? Is that it? -Yes, that's all.

-Close it. -Calm down…

What are you reciting, Wangi?

It's a spell so that she doesn't come.

Mom… Remember this.

If she comes, just ignore her.

Don't be scared. Because we're humans.

What about her? We're not sure what she is, right?

She only comes here to eat.

I'll go now.

-Mom. -Yes. What now?

Can I sleep in your room tonight?

You just asked me not to be afraid.

-Please? -Enough. Otherwise,

the ghost will be here.

Even if I'm a widower, I still have a huge appetite.

Too bad, Melati.

I have to hide all of my food.

I'm sorry.

This time, you won't get my food.

I'm sorry.

I didn't expect…

that I'm this smart.

I'm handsome.

And smart.

-Mom. I'm scared. -Why?

I'm scared.

What if we go and take a look?

No… Listen.

I'll stay here. I'll stay and you go check it out.

You go first. I'll follow you.

No, mom.

She's eating.

Mom…

She fainted here of all places.

Wake up, mom. Don't leave me like this. Mom.

Are yours real or not?

Is that Melati?

Gosh.

Why did you come to my house, Melati?

Maybe it's not her.

Maybe it's just a cat.

She's gone.

She must be afraid.

Now she knows.

This is uncle Bayang.

She ate and left a mess.

So rude.

Gosh.

Oh, God…

I'm getting a fever.

If I had a wife,

she could give me a massage.

If that's the case, just remarry, uncle Bayang.

Why are you all suddenly at my house?

It is still early.

Hey, uncle Bayang. Have you heard?

Ponti Melati came and attacked my beloved's house last night.

All the food from her kitchen cabinet is gone.

Since when did she become your beloved?

You're daydreaming.

Do you even know who I'm referring to?

Hey.

Everyone in the village knows that you're crazy for Mewangi.

-The name Mewangi irks me. -Same here.

-Just pick another name. -Siti Nurhaliza.

Or Stacy.

The one that has a beautiful voice.

I know.

-Nabila Razali. -No. Vida.

These guys.

Just let her have whatever name she wants.

Stop it.

I have a fever.

Did you come here just to bicker?

Why are you here?

Uncle Bayang. Your so-called genius suggestion

doesn't work.

That's true, uncle Bayang.

Why don't you think of a better plan?

Listen.

This is the only thing that I don't like about you, Sal.

-Me too. -Sometimes I want to scold you,

but you're my best friend.

You're always relying on Uncle Bayang.

He even has a fever now. Just use that brain of yours.

Am I the village chief?

But you're a resident of this village, right?

-What about you? -Stop.

-I'm thinking right now! -Stop!

Suddenly I feel better already.

Listen.

I think I have a new plan.

That sounds like my idea just now, uncle Bayang.

Shut up.

That was then. This is now.

I want you to gather a few villagers.

As many people as you can.

But not too many. Otherwise, the budget won't be enough.

Understand?

Come and meet me tonight.

After Isha prayer time.

You have to be punctual. Follow the call time.

You youngsters can't be trusted. You fail to obey the call time.

You always do that.

-Go home! -All right.

Hey!

-Leave. -I know.

-Figure it out as well. -Shut it.

Uncle Dollah!

Gosh, uncle Dollah. You don't have to act like you're busy.

There's nobody here.

It will always be us, uncle Dollah.

What's up with all of you?

Sal.

Uncle Bayang says that there's an urgent meeting at his house tonight.

Absentees will be punished.

Urgent meeting?

What meeting?

Private and confidential.

It's a state secret.

Then how?

If I open my stall…

If I go, it'll be my loss.

Are you going to think about your losses

or do you want Ponti Melati to keep bothering you?

Think about it.

-Sal. -Hurry up!

Are you coming or not?

I'll think about it first!

This is my favorite.

Where are the others?

I called a meeting for the whole village.

Why are the three of you the only ones who came?

As usual. We are the only ones committed to you.

That's why you need to appreciate us.

Well, what can we do, right?

The meeting needs to go on.

It needs to happen.

Listen.

All of you know, right?

The problem of…

Ponti Melati.

It's getting worse now.

It happened to me as well.

So I want to apologize to everyone.

Because most of my plans didn't work.

It's okay, uncle Bayang.

As long as you have these cookies.

But don't worry.

I have a new plan in mind.

A new plan?

What is it, uncle Bayang?

This plan is a bit unique.

I need to have the mood to talk about it.

I need to have music.

Uncle Bayang.

If you really want to have that mood,

you don't have to use this song.

It's giving me goosebumps, uncle Bayang.

Just use some other songs.

Something from Radiohead or Nirvana.

-That'd be better. -This song is great.

Wait.

My stomach hurts.

I want to go to the toilet for a bit.

Let me turn the radio off.

Does he have to close the door just to go to the toilet?

-He just wants to go to the toilet. -Salleh.

-The radio is off now. -Huh? It's already off.

-Sal, I already switched it off. -Huh?

Do you hear what I hear?

-What's this? -Do you hear what I hear?

-Uncle Bayang. -What's this?

Uncle Bayang.

-Uncle Bayang! -Uncle Bayang!

-What's happening? -Uncle Bayang!

-Uncle Bayang! -Go home!

-Bring the cookies with you. -Uncle Bayang!

-Go home, Sal! -Uncle Bayang!

Sal!

Uncle Dollah!

Run!

-Run! -Where to?

Why are you running?

-I want to go to the meeting. -No need. The pontianak is there.

But I want to eat.

-Here. Give it to him. -Take it.

Why do you have this?

Instead of giving it to Ponti Melati, I should just take it.

Hurry up.

Come.

Gosh. This Melati.

You still came to my house.

My plates and glasses are all over the place.

Oh, God.

Who's stronger? Is it me or you?

You're fast even if you have your walking stick.

I was running while holding my stick and torch.

Who do you think I am?

But why did we come to your stall?

I'm thirsty.

I want to treat you all to drinks. Do you want some or not?

-Yes. -Of course we do.

What do you want to drink?

What drink, Sal?

What drink do you want?

-Black tea. -Black tea.

You?

-Orange and apple. -Sure.

-What about you? -Apple and pineapple.

Apple and pineapple? Okay…

I'll open the door first.

You have that buff body for nothing. You should've helped us earlier.

You're a coward as well.

All that arm hair is just for show.

I was following you.

-I thought… -Uncle Dollah, hurry up.

If you have dried sour plum, please put it in as well.

I can't see in the dark.

Finger…

Where am I?

You broke down.

Why must it happen now?

I don't have the energy. Don't test me.

If I bought a superbike, you'd be sulking.

Don't cause a scene.

Gosh.

Why is there nobody passing by?

Leh. Salleh.

Peace be upon you!

Salleh.

Wake up…

What are you doing so early in the morning, Lik?

You're saying this is early?

It's already noon, you know?

It's almost afternoon now. Wake up.

This is still morning for me.

What do you want?

What else? Let's go to the stall.

That's all you know, right?

Go to the stall, eat.

Don't you have anything else to do?

What else can we do in this village?

We only have the stall. We can meet with uncle Dollah.

We can play checkers there.

That's an activity. That'll work.

I don't want to.

Come on. It's my treat.

-Let's go. -Huh?

Of course it's my treat. But using his money.

Hurry up!

-Uncle Bayang! -Peace be upon you, uncle Bayang!

And peace unto you.

Oh, God.

What's wrong?

Are you hanging out by yourself here?

What's with this place, uncle Bayang? Are you looking at palm trees?

-He can't be hanging out here, right? -Exactly.

My bike isn't broken.

I'm just sitting here and admiring the palm trees.

My bike is broken, of course.

Pandan Island is far from the shore.

Where are you going with your bike while gasping for air?

-You're good. -Right?

Answer him, uncle Bayang.

-An elephant calf wears the kebarung. -Kebarung.

I'm going to the stall.

If that's the case, uncle Bayang. Coconut tree, palm tree.

Come and ride with us.

That doesn't sound right, Lik.

Aren't you embarrassed, Lik?

To be born into the world in simplicity.

I don't care about simplicity. I failed my Bahasa Melayu subject back then.

Uncle Bayang, ride with us.

Come on, uncle Bayang. Hurry up.

-Can we ride it together? -Sure.

What about my bike?

Just leave it here, uncle Bayang.

Nobody wants to steal this motorcycle.

Besides, thieves will think twice before stealing this broken motorcycle.

It'll require heavy maintenance, a lot of parts need to be changed.

-Come on. -Okay.

Don't insult my bike.

-Can we? -Yes, uncle Bayang.

Let's go, uncle Bayang.

-Sit in the middle. -In the middle?

-You sit in the middle. -You sit in the middle.

It's safer.

Sorry, uncle Bayang.

I bought my licence, uncle Bayang.

-Store-bought licence? -Yes, I bought it.

-There was an offer for it. -We are like Do Re Mi.

One, two, three. Do Re Mi

-It's so heavy. -Just shut up.

Maybe it's the weight of our sins.

-We sin a lot. -Hey!

-Peace be upon you. -And peace unto you.

-And peace unto you. -Do you know how to play checkers?

Hey, I've played and checkmated him four times now.

Is there a checkmate in checkers?

-Uncle Dollah. -Huh?

Go and cook. We're hungry.

-Go on. -Just have a seat first.

Aren't you going to take off your helmet?

Take it off, Sal.

Why are you such a busybody?

Yes. Why are you such a busybody?

Take it off, Sal.

Hey, uncle Dollah.

I'm curious about your stall.

Are we the only ones who come here?

Does nobody else stop by?

Do you want to know why?

Because you're the only ones who frequent this place.

No matter the time. People don't usually eat at this time.

I want to ask you three.

What happened until you three rode on a single motorcycle together?

Didn't you get pulled over by the police?

Mine broke down while I was on my way here.

Luckily, we have us two heroes. We gave him a lift.

We rode together.

I forgot to ask.

Did you all manage to get home in time last night?

Why wouldn't we?

We ran like Watson Nyambek last night.

What he said was true, uncle Bayang.

I'm worried, Bayang.

She came back.

Who? That widow?

You're always thinking about widows.

Ponti Melati.

I'm scared that she did something to me last night.

Is that possible?

What do you think I am? I couldn't do it?

I could.

I passed out. How could you leave me behind?

I don't know what she did to me.

You guys.

You shouldn't have left uncle Dollah behind.

Gosh, uncle Bayang.

It's not that we left him in an unknown place.

We left him at his stall.

That's right.

Okay. Let me ask you, uncle Bayang.

If that Melati ghost were right in front of you,

what would you do?

-In front of me? -Yes.

Gosh.

In front of me?

I'd run, of course.

Exactly.

Listen, uncle Bayang.

What was our discussion about last night?

We haven't reached a decision, right?

Last night, I actually did…

What about it, uncle Bayang?

What is your strategy here?

What?

You made my heart drop.

Why are you here this morning, Mewangi?

What?

Are you scared?

Why would I be scared?

If you're not scared, why would you ask?

Of course I'm here to see…

Dharma.

Enough… Listen closely.

Listen up.

Listen up.

Since our village is in a very bad spot

until it happened to me personally,

so I suggest we collect all the food leftovers.

We collect them from every house.

We'll gather them all over here.

I'm sure and positive about it.

When all the food is gathered in one place,

she won't go and bother the other houses.

From here, it'll be easier for us to observe her movements.

Am I talking to myself?

Does that mean all of us need to be here, uncle Bayang?

Why?

-Are you scared? -I was just asking.

So that all of us can get ready.

We need to be on standby.

That's right.

All of us will be here to observe her.

Study her movements.

And then, we'll think of a way to destroy her.

Don't push me around. Gosh.

Do you have to push me down the stairs?

-Hurry up. -I know.

Uncle Bayang.

Open it…

She'll know how to open these later.

-She doesn't know how to. -Really?

She doesn't know how to open these?

This one is good, uncle Bayang. Did you cook it yourself?

No. I bought it at the mamak shop.

Here.

Put yours at the back. Otherwise she won't see mine.

-Put it here. -You are always bickering.

I think this is enough.

I never thought that I'd be serving food to a ghost.

Do you think this is forbidden?

Well, if God wills it. We're putting in the effort.

Enough.

-This is good enough. Leave it be. -Mom. I'm sorry.

Because I've done something unthinkable.

This is tiring.

-Can't you see I'm tired? -Hey!

Luckily Ponti Melati only eats food.

-What if she eats people? -What's so hard about it?

We'll just send uncle Bayang.

-Why me? -Of course.

Because out of everyone gathered here,

you're the only one who has been alive for a long time.

-That's valid. -You're so rude.

I'm old.

If I'm old, that means my flesh is tough.

She doesn't want that. She wants it like this…

She'll hear us later.

Uncle Bayang.

What now, uncle Bayang?

All the food is finished.

I don't think she's full.

Listen.

The way she cried. It's like she's asking for more.

Yes, uncle Bayang.

Where is she going next?

Just let her go wherever she wants.

Maybe she wants to go clubbing or something.

As long as she leaves this place.

We're safe. Now, go home.

-Get moving. -We have to go home?

Can't we just sleep here?

Enough… I'm sleepy. I want to sleep.

Go home.

-Uncle Bayang. -Uncle Bayang.

Please be considerate, uncle Bayang.

Let's go home.

Uncle Bayang!

Uncle Bayang!

Uncle Bayang!

Open the door, uncle Bayang!

-Uncle Bayang… -Uncle Bayang!

I can't think.

I'm clueless. I don't know what else to do.

I don't know how to deal with Ponti Melati.

Food is running out. What else does she want?

That's the problem, uncle Bayang.

The biggest issue is not just the food at your house.

What about Dharma's house, Salleh's house?

She even took food from my house which barely has any food.

What are we going to eat, uncle Bayang?

Sit down everyone.

-I am sitting. -Sit here.

He acts as if he lives here.

I'm sorry, uncle Bayang.

I just can't stand this anymore.

Uncle Bayang.

Now, what's your input regarding this matter?

What input do you want?

I'm all out of ideas.

No insights. No inputs.

No opinions whatsoever.

That's not the answer we wanted to hear, uncle Bayang.

Do you still remember?

We voted you to be the village chief.

The other day, you made a lot of promises

to make things happen.

To solve whatever problems may befall this village.

But now?

Are you just going to stay quiet? Just kick back and relax?

You said you were a student at Malay College of Kuala Kangsar.

Uncle Bayang.

Just think about it.

What should we do to solve this problem?

I feel like running away from this village.

Me too.

-You too? -Yes.

Why would you two run away from the village?

This is our village.

We're not supposed to run away.

It is Melati who should leave our village.

Because this isn't her village.

She's already living in another world.

I have a new idea.

What is it?

New idea?

Six…

-Gosh. -Five.

It looks like the number of villagers is decreasing nowadays.

It's always us.

Is there nobody else in the village?

Are we the only ones who are scared of Melati?

Are they not scared of her?

You just noticed that?

I've noticed that since the first day of filming, you know?

What are you talking about, Sal? We're taking turns, right?

Tonight is our turn.

Besides, what are you afraid of?

I'm here, aren't I?

Then?

It is always us who fall victim.

You three are busy playing. Didn't you hear around?

I heard it. I think Melati is here.

Let's go. Where are the nails?

-Wait, Sal. -Let's go together.

-Go inside. -Why should I go first?

Slowly, Dhar.

Slowly.

Why are you so far behind?

Slowly.

Hurry up, Dhar.

One, two, three.

-Run! -Uncle Bayang.

Run!

I'm scared to look at her face, uncle Bayang.

I want to leave this village, uncle Bayang.

I can't live like this.

I can't even fall asleep.

She messed with my sleep schedule, uncle Bayang.

I'm sleepy.

Calm down.

Our fight isn't over yet.

That line seems familiar.

If only we had someone smart here.

Someone who could think of the safety of our village.

Isn't that great?

But the only people we have here…

are not smart.

-Doh. -Hey.

Who's Doh?

Are you all looking for me?

Who is he?

How should I know?

You don't have to whisper among yourselves.

My name is Jibam.

I'm the son of the late uncle Jabit from the edge of the village.

Jibam?

Jabit's son?

Gosh. I almost didn't recognize you.

How can I recognize you? Your hair is a different color now.

Did you come back here?

I'm back.

I just returned from overseas.

Well, I'm now a graduate of an early childhood education degree.

No wonder he's very fair.

His hair is parted in the middle.

It's okay. I forgive you.

I know the problems of this village.

Mr. Dollah has told me everything.

But don't worry. I have a solution.

What's your idea?

Well, I'm now a graduate of an early childhood education degree.

Hence, I'm the smartest and most brilliant person around.

Let's stab her neck with a nail.

Calm down…

I'm not done yet.

I know that you've tried a lot of different things, right?

But then, how?

Are you going to stab her while she's eating?

Did you know?

When a pontianak is eating,

her stomach is processing a lot of things.

So, those things will make her less focused and…

less distracted.

What's this?

He's talking in circles.

I don't get it. What is it about?

All of you surely remember what it is that can distract Melati.

Uncle Bayang.

Is it true that he has an education diploma?

Whenever he opens his mouth, he sounds silly.

What's that? Jibam Bam Bam Bam.

Uncle Bayang.

Surely you know what Melati likes more, aside from food.

Gamelan.

Flat hobby horse.

He says he's a graduate of early childhood education.

What Jibam said was actually right.

It was?

We really could summon…

Ponti Melati to come closer with the flat hobby horse dance.

This is how the story goes.

Back then, Melati was very active in flat hobby horse dancing.

Out of all the people in the village,

she was the best dancer in the flat hobby horse dance.

At the time, Jibam was the one who always kept her company.

Melati is still dancing.

There would always be a performance of Melati doing the dance.

She's the most famous person

even if she's a bit chubby.

Melati likes to eat the eggs of wolf herring fish.

If she prepares a wolf herring and it bears eggs,

-she will surely ask her mom to keep it. -Peace be upon you!

And peace unto you!

-But for whatever reason, -Peace be upon you!

her mom ate all of it that day.

I can smell it from outside.

Here, eat up.

Mom.

Something seems off, mom.

Where are the fish eggs that I like to eat?

I ate them all.

How can they be finished?

You know I like to eat those eggs.

-How would I know? -You don't know?

I thought you would eat outside.

Why wouldn't you know that?

I came home hungry.

I don't like it like this.

I hate it.

Melati!

Melati.

-Melati. -You can't even do something simple.

I hate it!

Melati!

Melati. Don't be like this, my daughter.

I can't chase after you.

Melati!

And because of the wolf herring fish's eggs,

Melati tried to run away from home.

But you know,

no matter how far she tried to run,

she still couldn't get that far.

Melati!

Where are you, sweetie?

Melati.

After that incident,

-Melati went missing. -Melati!

Melati's mom searched for her day in and day out.

Where are you, sweetie?

Melati?

-Melati's mom kept on looking. -Where are you, sweetie?

She checked every corner.

The bushes. Weeds.

-She combed through everything. -Melati.

Where are you, sweetie? Come home.

Don't you pity me, Melati?

Almost every day.

She even went into the forest, but she still couldn't find her.

Melati.

Melati.

I miss you, Melati.

Melati's mom became more miserable

when she heard rumors from the villagers

that said Melati died of starvation

because she tried to steal some food.

Melati.

Melati, my daughter.

You're not supposed to die like this, sweetie.

I will do anything for you, sweetie.

Melati's mom couldn't forgive herself.

She wouldn't stop crying and grieving over Melati's body.

That's how it was.

Where's uncle Bayang?

Uncle Bayang?

Uncle Bayang.

Because of

the painful truth that Melati's mom couldn't accept,

she brought Melati back to life.

I understand it now, uncle Bayang.

How we can solve our problems.

It's not that hard.

When I think about it using my genius and sensible mind,

it's very simple.

We'll take a hammer and a nail.

We'll put a nail in her neck.

So that she can return to where she came from in peace.

-That's right. -Right.

But who's going to do it?

Who?

Me?

Don't think that you can do a cameo here.

It's not like you have a name here.

I don't want him to bother the villagers here.

Relax, Salleh. Don't be mad.

Do you think I don't have anything else to do?

-Be patient, Sal. -I'm tired.

Don't be too emotional.

Don't do it, Sal.

Besides, you're close with Melati, right?

I think she'll be fine

if you do it.

Exactly.

Does it have to be me?

You dare say that? Count it down, Sal.

I want to repeat his last dialogue. Say it, Sal.

One, two, three.

-Isn't this your idea? -Isn't this your idea?

We always have to go to the community hall.

What's so fun about your show? Tell me.

You know?

Do you have Elvis Presley performing?

Shut up.

Hurry up.

There are a lot of people at the stall.

Does it always happen at the end of the story?

This is how it is during filming, Mark.

Dharma.

It slipped.

Sal.

Have you been here long?

I feel mad looking at it, Sal. Look at that.

I'm sorry, Wangi.

I was a bit busy.

I'm not doing this for just anyone.

It's for you and the other villagers as well.

-So sweet. -Gosh.

This failed Hero Remaja.

He wants to be the hero of the village now.

He's acting as if he's Shah Rukh Khan while he dances like that.

Such a busybody.

You meanie.

Attention, everyone.

Oh, God. What's your problem?

You banged the table.

I have an announcement to make.

Wait. Those at the back, look here.

You're always on your phone.

You must be scrolling through TikTok. But you only have one follower.

Proceed.

Peace be upon you, everyone.

-And peace unto you. -Listen.

Tonight, you are required to go to the streets.

Sal. Community hall.

To the community hall. Okay?

For a performance of…

the flat hobby horse dance.

Wow.

Okay?

And of course…

there's something special for all of you tonight.

Most importantly,

there will be foods that you have never eaten

in all of your intestine's lifespan.

Okay? So when you come tonight,

bring everything that you can bring.

Thank you.

See?

Now this is a hero.

Not someone who just comes over and dances like him.

Nice one, Leh.

Wangi.

I want to apologize to you.

Because all this time I couldn't focus my attention on you.

Besides, I'm busy with uncle Bayang,

Malik and Salleh trying to solve the Ponti Melati problem in our village.

It's okay. I understand.

You don't have to worry. I'm not hurt at all.

But…

Whether I pay attention to you or not, it's still the same, right?

Who I am to you?

Why not?

Who told you that I didn't want the attention?

What did you say? I didn't catch that. Again.

I said, who told you that I didn't want the attention?

I do want it.

You want me?

That means I'm not friend zoned?

Thank you, Wangi.

Actually, I've been waiting for that answer from you.

-Really? -Yes.

-That's enough. Let's go. -Let's go.

You are flirty.

You can start arranging it.

Half here and another half over there.

Oh, God.

Help them.

-Hold it. -Do you want us to hang the lamps?

Sit down there.

Is everything okay?

Okay?

Everyone is here.

-Peace be upon you. -And peace unto you.

-Sorry we're late. -It's fine…

Uncle Bayang.

-Dharma was late. -Please…

Thank you for coming.

Come closer.

Everyone knows, right?

The reason we're gathered here tonight is nothing more than

to save our village.

So, I want to remind you.

When Melati gets here,

don't panic,

don't be scared,

and most importantly, don't run away.

-Remember, okay? Don't… -Panic…

-Don't… -Be scared…

-Don't… -Run away.

Yes. Everyone is so smart.

I think we can get started now.

-Shall we? -Sure.

Go ahead.

Flat hobby horse.

Move.

Sal.

Let's hold hands.

Don't be scared.

Wait.

Don't run away.

We want to save our village.

Don't run away.

Don't run away.

We want to save our village. Remember. Don't run away.

Don't eat me, Melati.

Melati.

Wait, Melati.

Melati…

What?

-Why? -My mom doesn't love me anymore.

-But I do, right? -Lies!

It's true. Come on. Come home with me.

-No. -But I have food.

Come, hurry up.

Come on.

Don't cry anymore.

I have food.

Hurry up.

Come in. Over here.

Sit there.

Are you hungry?

Do you want to eat?

Eat.

After I saved Melati,

she didn't want to go home.

She liked my cooking.

Until I didn't get to eat

and I had to keep on cooking.

But I still didn't get to eat.

Now, it was my turn to finish the food.

Melati ran away.

I didn't chase after her because I couldn't stand cooking all the time.

After I finished eating…

I heard…

Melati!

Melati.

Melati.

Wake up, Melati.

Please help me.

Melati.

Melati…

After Melati's death,

I contracted chicken pox.

And one night…

someone knocked on my door.

As it turns out

I didn't know that was the start of Melati's hunt for food.

So, Salleh came to see me

and asked me to leave the village

with the excuse of pursuing my studies.

Turns out that all this time…

you knew about this, Salleh.

But uncle Bayang, I didn't expect that it would be this bad.

I didn't expect it at all.

Hey, Salleh. I'm your best friend.

I'm the most disappointed person here.

You were pretending to solve this case.

But you know this not-so-pretty boy.

I'm sorry, Lik.

I just sincerely wanted to help Jibam.

That's all.

You conspired with him. What's sincere about that?

It was true that Salleh only wanted to help.

Actually…

I really do love Melati.

But only as a friend.

Even if she wasn't that good at dancing.

It's just that I wanted everyone to know that it wasn't me who killed Melati.

She died because she hit a tree.

Poor girl.

But…

who brought her back to life?

I don't know about that.

I do.

-Jibam knows it too. -You want to lie to us?

-Who? -I'm so mad.

Melati's mom.

Melati, my daughter.

It was all because of Melati's mom.

She really couldn't accept the death of her daughter.

Enough.

We'll solve the chubby Ponti Melati problem first.

Turn up the music.

Jibam, get back to dancing.

Keep her distracted.

So pretty.

Gosh. So pretty.

Are you serious?

So pretty.

So cute.

She's so beautiful.

-What's this, Melati? -Uncle Dollah!

Uncle Dollah!

Have fun, Melati and Mewangi.

Yes, sweetie.

As of today, I let you go.

I end my pretentious act here.
