2018

A tense domestic drama that simmers with marital resentment and spiritual searching, asking for patience as it unfolds.

Overview: The story follows Fikri (Adi Putra), an entrepreneur who married Hanani (Elly Mazlein) while they were both studying at university. Hanani is not yet ready to have children and takes contraceptive pills as she wants to focus on their final year of studies. Fikri disagrees with Hanani's actions but Hanani remains firm in her decision. In their household, Hanani is more dominant and Fikri often gives in to keep Hanani happy. The conflict intensifies as Hanani increasingly disrespects Fikri as her husband, especially as her Spa business becomes more successful. This situation causes Fikri to be extremely stressed and he suffers a heart attack while driving, hitting Taufik in the process. Fortunately, Taufik's injuries are not serious but he remains hospitalized. During their hospital stay, Taufik frequently visits Fikri in his ward. Fikri asks about Taufik's purpose, as he is also a religious teacher from Cambodia, in coming to Malaysia.
