Events took a turn
As the story continues, Tian asks Yura to marry her. Yuri says she doesn’t even know where he belongs and how his family is. She didn’t say no but she neither said yes. That’s when Tian takes Yura to meet his family. Tian is very rich. His father is a humble man while her mother seemed a bit selfish.
Tian’s mother mentioned that he should marry someone who is as rich as they were. While they were eating dinner, His father tells him that his brother, Robert is facing challenges in running a business in America and he has to go there to handle the situation which he doesn’t want to. His father tells him it would only be a week. Tian then finally goes to America and as soon as he leaves Yuri finds out she is pregnant.
Events took a turn here when the situation in Jakarta (that’s where Tian’s house is) gets worse due to political reformation. Since Tian left Yuri never got a single call or never got any connections with Tian which made her worried.
She then decided to go to Jakarta to see where he is. Oka helps her as the situation in the city is not good. When she reached there the security of the house and Tian’s mother’s secretary refused to know her while the secretary very well knew who she was. She tells Yuri that the whole family has left for America and Tian is going to get married there the next week. This made Yuri go into depression.

In the middle of this, Indah tells Yuri why she took a loan from Sadewo. She tells she was a really bad mother before as when she got married to Geller she didn’t know how to take care of a girl as never had any. When Nisa was born the needs of the family increased and Geller wasn’t able to generate that much income. That’s when she decided to sell jewelry to women and that’s when she met Sadewo. They both made a good connection after that. Indah also told Yuri to express her feelings she has for Oka.
Finally, the baby was born and was a little girl. Oka was with her the whole time. Yuri asked Oka to name the baby and he named her Diandra Puspita, which was Yura’s late mother’s name.

The ending scenes of the movie have shown that part two of the film will be definitely made as Yura said she is not sure if that’s the end of her love story and many questions like Will Tian ever return or where was he could be answered in the second part.
Tersanjung The Movie Review
Overall as a love story, the film was very basic. Many love stories like these are already made and this wasn’t any special. If you love watching drama then this film will keep you hooked to your chair till the end. It is definitely a one-time watch film. The storyline in between gets kind of boring and unnecessarily expanded. Many scenes were added that were not necessary. All the characters have definitely played a very good role.
The music in the film is very appreciable. If you love watching drama plus intense love stories then you should totally go for this one. If you are not a love story kind of person this movie isn’t for you. Yuri is seen in a very good appreciable role. You will also see sudden Twists in the plot that you never expected of.
The movie is available on Netflix to watch.
