Overview
A modern take on the famous folk tale, Bawang Merah-Bawang Putih (Shallots & Garlic). Alya (Bawang Putih) and Siska (Bawang Merah) are neighbors who go to the same high school. Alya grew up in a rich family and lived happily with her parents, Yasmin and Indra. Meanwhile, Siska, who was considered the closest neighbor by Alya's family, lives with her mother, Rika. They presented themselves as good people until Yasmin fell ill, they killed her when she was hospitalized as part of their scheme to seize Indra's wealth. The plan was successful as Indra later asked Rika's hand into marriage and brought her and her daughter to move into Alya's house. In front of Indra, they pretended to be a very kind and loving mother and daughter, but when Indra was away, Siska and Rika always tortured Alya.
