Do you believe in the supernatural?
Do you believe in jinns or deeper?
Black magic?
In fact,
black magic has been a part of history
and human beliefs for a long time in this country.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan…
In the name of Jesus!
A COUPLE EXPERIENCED BLACK MAGIC AFTER GETTING MARRIED.
THE FOLLOWING IS A RECORDING OF THE SOURCE'S ORIGINAL VOICE IN REAL LIFE
Nobody believed us.
Including myself.
Somehow, after getting married,
I felt a lot of strange things.
I don't understand what it is either.
All this is not making any sense.
My skin became redder.
My body became worse.
Every time I walked,
it felt like standing on hot nails.
I took him to treatments.
But there was no progress.
He got even worse.
Every time I saw a sharp object at home,
I felt the urge to harm myself.
I heard whispers telling me to die.
I just thought about how he would recover.
Until finally, I started to believe.
Is black magic real?
Is what we are experiencing part of black magic?
Or what people often call
witchcraft?
Help us.
Pray for us to get rid of this curse.
RASULULLAH SAW SAID,
"THE DEVIL PLACES HIS THRONE UPON WATER
AND SPREADS HIS ARMY (SATAN) TO ALL CORNERS OF THE WORLD.
THE CLOSEST TO HIM
IS THE ONE THAT HELPS THE MOST IN SPREADING EVIL.
THEY (SATAN) COME TO HIM (THE DEVIL) AND SAY,
'I DID SO AND SO.' AND HE SAYS, 'YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING.'
THEN COMES ONE OF THEM (SATAN) AND SAYS,
'I HAVE PITTED HUSBAND AND WIFE AGAINST EACH OTHER UNTIL THEY DIVORCED.'
"THE DEVIL APPROACHES HIM AND SAYS, 'YOU HAVE DONE WELL.'"
(SAHIH MUSLIM 2813B)
THIS IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
JANUARY 2018
What do you want to do after graduating?
I want to get married.
Married?
Do you want to get married soon?
Is it wrong to want to get married early?
Well, not really.
What about in three more years?
Why three years?
Because if it's three years from now,
you'll marry me.
You should visit my house.
Meet my father.
Ask for his blessing.
I have to go back to my village first.
Make lots of money.
After that, I'll come back.
I'll meet your father
and propose to you.
Then we'll live happily
and have lots of children.
If later someone else meets my father,
and both my parents agree,
and they feel like he's good for me,
then what?
Just a second.
Yes.
Yes, I'll be there.
Dum.
I have to go to the photo booth.
Safiya has arrived.
We want to take a family photo.
I got a report. I don't want last night to repeat itself.
All reports must be completed quickly.
May.
You may start working.
- Quickly. - Thank you, sir.
- I don't want to. - Just trust me.
- No, no. - Come on.
We should eat mi bancir.
- Auntie Imai's mi bancir? - No, Auntie Basnah's.
Do you work in the sub-district now?
Yes.
- How are you? - Good.
How are you?
I'm okay.
So, May, how is your relationship with Duma?
Duma? Who's Duma?
Duma.
Maya's close friend when she was in college.
I don't know, Ros.
We're no longer as close as we used to be.
Since he went back to his home,
I think he's been busy,
and I have been too.
We barely talk to each other.
How long has it been since we graduated?
It's been a year.
Sorry it took so long.
It's alright.
I'm sorry.
A moment.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Yes, block C number four.
On your left. Okay.
…which affected by the floods,
from the mapping results…
Let me drive you.
You don't have to.
They'll be here soon.
May, how was the man from the other day?
The Quran hafiz.
You talked, right?
He doesn't suit me, Mom.
I didn't feel connected to him when we talked.
You're too picky, Maya.
The most important thing in finding a husband
is his religion.
His morals.
His stability.
His lineage or ancestors.
When it comes to love,
later, it can grow after you get married.
It's okay if he's not Arab, right, hon?
It's okay.
I already have an Arab son-in-law from your sister.
As long as he can pass my test.
Anyway, remember.
What's important is that you two are equals.
Because if there is a lot of inequality,
then you will have a lot of problems in the future.
Especially regarding wealth.
And I have often reminded you of that.
Yes, Dad.
I also want to get married this year.
Amen. Amen!
Allah SWT says,
in Surah At-Thalaq verses two and three,
it says that
whoever is devoted to Allah,
Allah will surely open a way out for them.
Well, look at that.
Look at your friend.
Gosh, she just said she didn't want to get married.
And now she's flirting with a guy over there.
Who is that, May? Do you know him?
I think it's her friend.
Because he called her name.
Do you know him?
Who is that?
Look at her grinning.
Maya.
Are you in our council study group chat?
Yes, why?
There's a friend of mine who wants to get to know you.
Is that okay?
Who is it?
The one who was talking to me just now.
His name is Andi.
He was my senior when I was in college.
Oh, he's your friend?
I thought he was your crush, Nilam.
Gosh, he's handsome. Just take him, May.
Take him. Take him!
Dad, Mom.
Two weeks ago, someone asked to get to know me at the council study group.
He's Nilam's friend.
Then he called me.
And we also met several times at the study group.
We have spoken a few times on WhatsApp.
Earlier,
he invited me to do ta'aruf.
Then, what did you say?
What is he like?
I said, if he was serious,
he should meet you here.
He wants to come the day after tomorrow.
Alright, we'll see.
Recite Al-Faatihah.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
No wonder you said yes.
His looks are totally your type.
His profile, Fiya.
I think his view about marriage
is the same as mine.
Is that so?
It's okay if you like his looks.
By the way.
What about Duma?
You once told me
that he asked you to marry him, right?
I don't know.
He was being vague.
If he was serious,
he would have come to meet Dad.
I've said it before.
Exactly.
Marriage is about certainty.
Love is number 12.
Are you sure you can be happy with your choice?
Listen to what the parents say.
Love can grow over time.
And about happiness?
Happiness takes many forms.
Even in the form we might least expect.
Sometimes,
happiness requires sacrifice
and also compromise.
Not everyone is like you, Mom.
I was just asking Maya.
Usually,
it takes a long time for you to decide, right?
I've decided.
God willing.
- God willing. - Let's just pray.
Amen.
STATUS UPDATE
TO NADIA SAFIYA
WEDDING INVITATION
DUMA CALLING
Hello, my heart.
Peace be upon you.
And upon you too, Duma.
Miss Sub-district seems really busy.
I haven't heard from you in a long time.
Are the people safe, ma'am?
Miss Sub-district has a lot on her agenda lately.
Oh.
No wonder you rarely update your status.
What are you up to?
Dum.
I have to tell you this.
A few weeks ago, I was proposed to, and…
God willing, we will get married in two weeks.
Dum?
Duma?
May.
You're really getting married?
You know that if someone comes,
and if my parents approve,
then he will be my husband.
Maybe
this is meant to be.
Let's just let it go, okay?
I'm so sorry, Dum.
WEDDING DAY
I seek forgiveness from Allah.
There is none worthy of worship except Him,
The Living, The Eternal, and I turn to Him in repentance.
Sandi bin Fadlansyah.
I marry my daughter, Mahya binti Mu'adz,
to you on the sunnatullah and the sunnah of His Messenger
with a dowry of 100 grams of gold
in front of witnesses who are present, in cash.
I accept the marriage with the dowry that is mentioned.
Witnesses, is it valid?
- Yes. - Yes!
Thank God.
May Allah bless both of you and shower His blessings upon you
and unite you in goodness.
Our Lord, grant us good in this world
and good in the Hereafter
and protect us from the torment of the Fire.
And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
Heavy rain on their wedding day.
Their marriage will have a big test later.
Let's just pray for them.
Hopefully, the bride and groom will get through
and live a happy, beautiful, and safe life.
Amen.
Oh, God.
What's wrong?
I stepped on this.
Don't step on it. It's wet.
What happened?
I don't know. Maybe because it rained this afternoon.
As God has willed.
Hopefully, you will feel at home staying here.
God willing.
As long as you are with me.
Ablution first, Bi.
Man… Bis…
Man…
Bis…
Son of king Baruntik.
Come bringing evil.
The soul wasn't taken.
Sangiang Barubuk.
Son of king Baruntik.
Come bringing evil.
The soul wasn't taken.
Abi?
- Peace be upon you. - And upon you too.
What's wrong with you?
I don't know.
It's really itchy.
Let me see.
Why is your skin red?
Maybe because of the flood.
The water was dirty.
Let's go to the doctor now, okay?
We need to do some tests.
It could still be an allergy.
But we also have to check other causes.
On your legs, it looks like scabies.
I will prescribe you some medicine and ointment, sir.
Don't forget to clean all the things in the house, ma'am.
And as for the cough, sir,
I suggest you get an X-ray on your chest
and consult a pulmonologist.
By the way, have you ever had any
issues with your skin,
or do you maybe have a certain allergy?
Abi, are you sure you don't have allergies?
Or maybe it's something you ate today?
I've never had any allergies.
I'm sure.
I'm sorry.
I'm putting you through a lot.
It's okay, Bi.
Bi?
Abi, have some water.
I'M ALREADY HERE
FIRST TRIMESTER, ONE MONTH AFTER MARRIAGE
Where are you going, May?
I'm taking Andi to the doctor.
Why?
Maya.
Didn't he get an X-ray already? Is he still sick?
Yes, he is.
His X-ray results for his lungs were normal,
even though he was still coughing up blood.
Oh, God.
That's why the doctor ordered a bronchoscopy.
Are you serious?
Maya.
Have you ever thought about
how this might not be a normal illness?
What do you mean?
You know.
If you're sick and there's no medical explanation,
usually, our people think it's because of the supernatural.
We'll try medical treatment for now.
I should go.
Peace be upon you, everyone.
And upon you too, May. Take care.
When we did the bronchoscopy,
we found no abnormalities, ma'am.
However, we must be suspicious
of the things that can cause your husband's illness.
For instance, an infection.
Has his cough gotten worse lately?
Sometimes the cough continues nonstop, Doc.
But there are also times when he doesn't cough at all.
The gap is around four to five days.
When it recurs, one to two days.
I will give him medicine to stop his cough.
Once the results are out,
you will be contacted by the hospital.
Bi.
From now on, I can go to work on my own.
I can even drive you to and from work.
I don't mind.
Really?
Really.
Let me go to the bathroom, okay?
I don't know why I keep wanting to pee.
Okay.
What's up?
What is it?
Open it.
What is this?
Open.
Are you really pregnant?
- Are you really pregnant? - Yes.
Thank God.
Thank God, Oh Allah.
I'll recite Surah Maryam, okay?
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Kaf Ha Ya 'Ain Shad.
Thank God.
I'm having another grandchild!
May it be a boy, God willing!
Maya, don't forget to take folic acid.
When is your check-up?
Please pray for me.
I plan to go to the doctor tomorrow.
Honey, what if next week,
we hold a gathering?
- Should we do it here or your place? - Let's do it here.
Your mother will cook a lot.
Let's do it at my place, not too big.
And just invite close relatives.
Hey, Maya.
What is your husband doing?
He's in the bedroom. He's asleep.
No, he isn't.
He's behind you.
Bi?
Who are you talking to?
I'm talking to you.
Abi, I'm on a video call with my parents.
You asked me to wake up.
You said you cooked, and you told me to eat.
I didn't wake you up, Abi.
Dad, Mom, I have to go.
Peace be upon you.
What are you doing, Bi?
What's that, Mi?
There's nothing there.
It's still standing there, Mi.
Bi, there's nothing there.
Stop it.
Don't scare me.
Let's just sleep, okay?
Bi.
Come on.
There's no need to force it.
Let mother and I work.
It's alright.
We don't have much time.
What's wrong, Mi?
She's nauseous and dizzy.
Just take a break, okay?
Go to your room or the living room.
It's okay, Bi.
Mother and Fiya still have a lot of work.
Listen.
You take a break.
I'll stand in for you.
Can you do it?
Of course.
Anakku Rasyid.
- Auntie! - Hi, Yasmin.
You're cute.
Come on. Do it.
Do it.
Oh God!
Oh, God forgive us.
What is going on?
Andi, what's the matter with you?
Oh, God. Andi!
Let go, Andi. Oh, God forgive us.
Gather yourself, Andi!
Rashid, get the car ready.
- We're going to the hospital now. Come on. - Yes.
May.
Once again, congratulations on your pregnancy.
I'm happy for you.
I could only bring this.
It's okay, isn't it?
Thank you, Auntie. Who did you come with?
With your uncle. He's out there.
Where's your husband, May?
I want to say goodbye.
I haven't had the chance to meet your husband yet, right?
Because we were unable to attend your wedding.
He's in the bedroom.
He's sick.
Let's go.
Hey, Maya.
Here's your uncle. He misses you.
It's been a long time since he saw you.
- Maya. - How are you, Uncle?
Praise be to Allah, I'm healthy.
Thank God.
May we meet your husband?
Yes.
Come with me.
Please, go ahead.
Come on, let's go.
Abi.
Auntie and Uncle want to say goodbye.
Yati.
Yati?
May.
I need to talk to you.
What's wrong, Auntie?
Later.
I'll text you later.
Thanks, Auntie.
Peace be upon you.
And upon you too, Auntie.
May, can I talk to you for a moment?
What's wrong, Auntie?
Sorry, I don't feel comfortable
if I don't tell you about this.
Your father was also there, so…
I didn't want to tell you there.
What's going on, Auntie?
Are you alone?
Yes, Auntie, I'm alone.
May.
I saw that someone has put a curse on your husband.
What do you mean?
Someone cursed him.
Black magic, May.
You should take him to a psychic soon.
Your poor husband.
Alright, Auntie.
I'll tell my husband later.
Thank you, Auntie.
She said that?
Someone put a curse. That means witchcraft, right?
Hey, Maya.
You shouldn't believe in witchcraft.
Because those are just people's stories.
It's hard to talk to people who don't believe.
You already know.
Yati has a sixth sense.
Don't you remember
when she married Wardi?
They had a whole ritual in their family.
Black magic has existed since the time of the Prophet, hon.
I know, honey.
But we can't believe
in the power of black magic. That's not us.
We only believe in the power of Allah.
Black magic is indeed scary.
Back in my village,
one family died
because of a curse.
They were fighting over inheritance.
It was just their time to die.
Andi.
Do you believe you are cursed?
Hey, Andi!
Yes, Father?
You daydream too much.
Later, after eating, join me.
We'll talk.
Abi.
What did my dad say to you?
Oh, nothing.
Just the usual.
He told me to pray more.
Are you sure?
It's alright.
He just told me to go to a dermatologist.
Dr. Salman in Banjarmasin.
That's all?
Yes.
He wasn't angry?
He wasn't.
Are you serious?
Yes.
He just gave me advice.
The usual lecture.
He told me to do lots of dhikr in the morning and evening.
By the way, Bi.
What nightmare did you have?
It seems like every night you have nightmares.
You talk in your sleep.
Who knows, if you tell me about it
you'll feel more relieved,
and you won't have nightmares anymore.
Bi.
Abi.
Talk to me.
It's fine if you don't want to talk.
Honestly, I don't know what's happening to me.
Lately, I keep hearing strange voices
to hurt myself.
It's hard to resist.
I also always dream of the same thing every time I sleep.
It feels so real.
I saw…
Am I the one you saw?
Abi, why did you drive like that?
We have to be strong, dear.
We have to be strong.
SECOND TRIMESTER FOURTH MONTH OF MAYA'S PREGNANCY
Abi?
Abi!
Abi! Abi.
Abi, what's wrong with you, Bi?
Bi? Abi!
- Gosh. - Abi, what is it?
I was just…
I was tortured, Mi.
I'm going to die.
- I'm going to die. - Gather yourself.
He said I would die, Mi.
Oh, God forgive us.
I can't stand it anymore, Mi.
God forgive us.
Calm down, Abi. Gather yourself.
God forgive us. God forgive us.
He is here.
I see it clearly.
The last camera has been installed, ma'am.
Is it working, ma'am?
Yes, thank you.
You're welcome.
Peace be upon you.
Don't bother, Mi.
This is useless.
I'm just making things difficult for you.
I'd better die as soon as possible, Mi.
What's wrong?
What do you want to talk about?
A week ago, I installed security cameras.
Here are some of the videos
that I saved.
Since Andi got sick,
he has been acting strange.
What's wrong with him?
Someone put a curse on him.
I'm now convinced he's been cursed.
It all doesn't make any sense, Fiya.
I had to hide all sharp objects
because many times he wanted to kill himself or hurt himself.
He keeps saying
he will die soon.
I feel like I can't do it anymore,
to face all feelings of fear,
feeling tired and worried at the same time.
I have to find a solution.
Bi.
If we try alternative medicine,
spiritual healing, for example…
What do you think?
His name is Ustad Ahmad.
You should go there.
I don't know whether he is kasyaf or not.
Kasyaf?
How do we say it?
Kasyaf means someone who can see the unseen, May.
It's rare to find someone who is kasyaf.
Usually, they're only selected people, such as Allah's guardians.
They say if someone is kasyaf,
the spiritual healing will be more accurate.
Thanks, Auntie.
I seek forgiveness from Allah.
You're right. This is a curse.
There is no power and no strength except with Allah.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
I seek refuge with the Lord of all worlds,
from the evil of the corrupt,
and the plotting of the envious.
You can't drive me away.
I seek forgiveness from Allah.
- I have merged with his body. - In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious…
Bi…
Who are you?
What do you want?
I was told to torture him.
Until he dies.
There is no power and no strength except with Allah.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
I seek refuge with the Lord of all worlds,
from the evil of the corrupt,
and the plotting of the envious.
I can't treat this.
Too strong.
Try seeking treatment elsewhere.
That's Master Muklis's address.
Give this to him.
Abi, drink this.
Just try it.
I heard that he is powerful in treating non-medical illnesses.
Like a shaman, you know.
People in my village usually go to him for treatment.
Do you want me to come with you?
You don't have to.
Thank you, Nilam.
What's wrong with my husband, sir?
Your husband is cursed with poison sangga.
Black magic poison.
It's in the form of oil.
If the oil touches your body,
then you'll get infected.
That's why he's sick.
Someone sent it.
Why would anyone curse my husband?
Someone wants to separate you two.
Maybe they're hurt.
So, that means…
That poison oil is in my body?
Yes.
It is spirit-filled poison.
Evil spirits, people say.
Is this curable?
I cannot cure people affected by poison sangga.
Usually, once you are affected by the poison,
it is difficult to cure.
In this world, many have died because of this poison.
Unless healed by a shaman.
Ask them to get rid of it through a ritual.
Another option is, the person who is affected by the poison
goes to the one who gave the poison.
Have them remove it.
I say just go to a shaman.
How do we know who gave the poison?
That's what's difficult about this treatment.
Wait a minute, please.
Try bathing with this.
Cut it in half,
grate it, and finely chop some.
Mix with water and bathe with it.
Hopefully, it will ease the pain
while you look for a shaman that can heal you.
This is advanced witchcraft.
It is difficult to cure.
Just a moment, Bi. I'll check the circuit breaker.
Bi?
Did you get up by yourself?
Can you get me out of here?
What's wrong with my baby, Doc?
Currently, your baby is still in good condition.
However, your baby's weight gain has not met expectations.
And your womb is quite weak.
It seems that it is because of physical or mental fatigue.
And also a lack of adequate nutritional intake.
I suggest you get some bed rest.
I'm worried that your blood pressure will continue to rise,
and there is a risk of premature birth.
It might threaten the safety of the mother and baby.
Someone said it's poison sangga?
No wonder there's no progress.
Do you want to try traditional treatment?
Batatamba, as people say.
What's the treatment like, Auntie?
Usually, there is a ritual.
Like people from the past.
You mean go to a shaman?
They call it shaman.
A kind of healer who can treat non-medical illnesses.
Because it is a supernatural type of poison.
Mi, can you come home now?
I think I'm going to die.
Abi?
But it must be curable, right?
May.
The only one who heals us is Allah.
Whether or not you are healed is a matter of faith.
The treatment are merely the mediums, May.
I need your help getting Andi there.
Auntie Yati said
there is someone there who can treat him.
Her name is Nini Bulan.
So, that's the story, Nini.
We've had medical treatment and all kinds of things.
But there has been no progress at all.
How do I cure my husband?
There are two ways.
The first,
by drinking antidote water
that is made from sangga leaves.
Do you have the antidote?
No.
I have not found that leaf for a long time.
So, what we can do
is the Baharagu ceremony.
Ni.
Nini is sick.
She cannot treat people in this condition.
You're better off looking for someone else.
Please help us.
We don't know how else to treat it.
We've gone for treatment everywhere.
I told you earlier.
Nini is sick.
She is ill.
She cannot treat people who have been poisoned.
We need a lot of time.
We need offerings.
The ceremony is long. There is a lot to do.
Nini won't be able to do all that.
Ni. Ni.
Listen to me.
I won't allow you to perform the Baharagu ceremony.
It is not possible.
It's too hard.
Do you have the heart to see that baby born without a father?
You know well
what it's like to live without parents.
Help me this time.
Gather our people
to help and prepare offerings.
You can assist me,
and I shall chant the patati.
Remember, Rum.
When you help people,
you shouldn't choose.
Hurry and dance
for the ritual here.
The poison sangga has come out.
Ni, may I ask?
Who poisoned my husband?
There are people from your past who are hurt.
My past or my husband's?
I don't know for sure.
They are protected by a powerful shaman.
Your husband
is lucky
that he survived until now.
What do you mean by lucky?
There is something more powerful than black magic.
Faith.
People's faith in God.
You are pregnant.
Your bond is stronger because of this child.
That makes it more difficult
for the black magic to control your husband.
So now, are we safe?
Quite the opposite.
You are even more vulnerable.
Black magic always leaves scars.
It leaves a hole in the victim, including you, May.
So, what should we do?
Control yourself.
Every negative emotion,
fear, hate,
all those are doors for them to enter.
Remember, May.
The poison sangga used on you
is not ordinary poison.
It never stops, and there is only one goal.
Separating you from your husband
until divorce.
Or even until one of you dies.
TWO WEEKS LATER
Thanks, Mi.
Abi, if you are overwhelmed,
why don't you just get another assistant?
I let the assistant go the other day,
not only because I was sick,
but also because of Secawan Coffee Shop's poor financial conditions, Mi.
The turnover keeps decreasing.
So, what now?
Don't worry.
The staff and I are developing a new menu.
And we also plan to make a promotion.
Don't worry about my business.
Just focus on yourself, okay?
Okay.
BI, WHAT TIME ARE YOU COMING BACK? WHERE ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU NOT REPLYING?
The phone you are trying to reach is not active.
Try again in a few moments.
May.
THIRD TRIMESTER SEVENTH MONTH OF MAYA'S PREGNANCY
Would you like me to take you home?
Andi is still in a meeting, right?
It might take long.
Wait another ten minutes, okay?
If there's no news,
I'll go home with you.
Fiya.
When you were pregnant, did you ever…
Ever what?
Hallucinate?
Like hearing or seeing something…
Supernatural?
What do you mean?
What's wrong?
Are you being haunted?
I don't know.
Maybe it's just me.
Because I'm often alone at home.
So, I keep on being paranoid.
What weird stuff did you experience?
I'm not sure.
Sometimes I hear whispers in my ear.
Sometimes I see…
Something.
It's just in my head.
What about your headache?
Does it happen often?
Yes, occasionally.
But that's not it.
You and Andi are okay now, aren't you?
Yes.
Just fine.
He's just busy taking care of his business.
Because when he was sick,
a lot of problems happened in the company.
They only have one coffee shop left.
The others are temporarily closed.
But…
But what?
This is just my bad feeling.
I don't know. I keep being suspicious of him.
Maybe it's because I'm pregnant?
I keep thinking badly.
Am I lonely?
Pregnancy does make you more sensitive.
But have you and Andi tried to talk about this?
And?
We argued.
He became cold,
moody,
and spends less time at home.
Am I exaggerating?
Mi, here you go.
I have bought all the things you asked for.
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you too.
Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
Abi. Would you like to help me put this all together?
I have a meeting after this.
After the meeting, I'll help you.
Okay, be careful.
Mi, I didn't get the investment.
How is that possible?
They didn't approve my proposal.
They said Secawan is not profitable.
Oh, God. Alright, Bi. Hang in there, okay?
I can only pray for the best for you.
Mi. Mi!
Abi…
What is it?
How are you feeling?
Feeling better?
Umi, tomorrow morning, I have to go to Jakarta, okay?
There is an important meeting with a potential investor.
I know them personally.
I won't take long. Maybe a week.
Why so sudden?
Bi, you heard what the doctor said, right?
The last time we did a check up?
If my blood pressure continues to rise,
our baby might be born sooner.
Can't you just leave after I give birth?
I can't, Umi.
This was planned a long time ago.
I don't want you to go.
I need you now.
Why did you just tell me?
How many times do I have to tell you?
My business is doing really bad.
- We've got a lot of needs too. - I also have my own money.
You don't have to be out all the time.
I've already taken leave.
I want to have more time with you.
This is the last trip, okay?
If this investment happens,
I promise I will make more time for you.
This scent again…
Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
Abi, wake up.
You said you wanted to do morning prayers.
Why won't you wake up?
Abi…
This is the booking file, darling.
Meet you at the airport, or shall we go together?
I love you, darling. I wish you were my wife.
If I had married you,
I don't think my life would be this miserable.
I don't know why, since being with Maya,
looks like I've just been unlucky.
This time, don't break my heart again like before, okay?
You promised.
Yes, be patient.
It won't be long.
I'm going home to my parents' today.
Oh, yes, that's okay.
It's better than being alone at home.
I'll pick you up when I come home from Jakarta, okay?
I want a divorce.
What did you just say?
I want you to divorce me.
Mi, don't be silly.
Why? Did I do something wrong?
Bastard.
Don't be crazy.
I'm not crazy like you.
You said you were unlucky to marry me.
I'm the one who's unlucky to have you in my life.
Since when, Andi?
Since when?
Mi, I'm sorry, Mi.
This must be the black magic, Mi.
Do you remember when we went for treatment?
The witchcraft aims to…
You liar.
How can you say you made a mistake
when you committed sins repeatedly?
This…
What is this for?
What for?
Mi, Mi, Mi!
Does everything I did for you all this time
mean nothing to you?
When I had a thousand reasons to complain,
my lips were always closed and always smiling
to keep your feelings in check.
I always tried to be an obedient wife to you, Andi.
But you?
You betrayed me.
I even risked my faith in Allah,
while taking you to a shaman!
Mi, I'm sorry, Mi.
Please forgive me.
I don't want to separate from you, Mi.
Mi.
I'm going home today.
Let's just end this.
Mi.
Umi.
I'm sorry, Mi.
Mi, I'm sorry, Mi. I made a mistake, Mi.
I'm sorry, Mi.
I really made a mistake.
Please.
Please don't leave me, Mi.
Mi, please don't go, Mi.
Please don't go.
Mi.
Hey, Maya.
Where's your greeting?
Black magic always leaves scars.
It leaves a hole in the victim.
Including you, May.
So, what should we do?
Control yourself.
Every negative emotion,
fear, hate,
all those are doors for them to enter.
Remember, May.
The poison sangga used on you
is not ordinary poison.
It never stops.
And there is only one goal.
Separating you from your husband
until divorce.
Or even until one of you dies.
If your marriage only hurts you and increases sin,
that means your worship is not there.
You should go home, May.
It's been a week.
Focus on preparing for the birth of your child.
After that,
you two should talk again.
Don't let sadness rob you of your faith, May.
No matter what,
Andi is the father of your child.
- Umi. - Yes.
My child.
My precious, Maya.
- Andi. - Oh, God. Andi!
Abi!
- Abi! - Andi!
- Abi!
He's going to vomit. Turn his body over!
Help him, Maya. Oh, God.
Help, Safiya.
Throw it up, Andi.
Throw it up, Andi. Let it out.
Let it out, Andi.
Praise be to Allah.
Mi.
Please forgive me.
I made a mistake, Mi.
I didn't know what I was doing.
I'd rather die, Mi.
Bi…
Rather than not getting forgiveness from you.
I am sorry.
Abi?
Andi? Andi.
- Andi? - Andi, wake up.
- Abi? - Andi?
- Andi! - Andi, wake up!
- Wake up, Andi. - Abi.
- Andi. - Let's take him to Nini Bulan.
Abi…
Pointless!
Tonight he dies!
- Oh, God forgive us. - Oh, Allah.
Bi, gather yourself, Bi!
You don't have any time left!
- Abi, wake up! - Neither slumber nor sleep overtake Him.
Pointless!
- Bi, calm yourself! - Pointless!
Pointless! Pointless!
- Pointless! - Abi!
Allah is the Greatest!
Pointless.
There is no power and no strength except with Allah, The High, The Great.
There is no power and no strength except with Allah.
Look.
This is poison sangga.
It has spread to the blood vessels.
It has almost reached the heart.
Once it does,
he will die.
Where's that stupid old lady?
Is she dead?
Idiot!
Did Nini pass away, Rum?
Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we return.
But you can help us, right?
Your husband's condition is different
compared to the first time you brought him here.
Take a look.
This is called time-binding poison sangga.
This is much more terrifying and dangerous than before.
I can't help if Nini isn't here.
The owner of this poison sangga
has made a deal with evil spirits.
They agreed to kill within the promised time.
If it's a week,
he'll die in a week.
If it's a month,
he'll die in a month.
Chances are he can only last until sunrise.
These marks
are to keep the spirit inside your husband's body from going berserk.
But you can't stop it
because the spirit in his body is not an ordinary spirit.
So, what should I do?
For now, the only way
is to make an antidote from sangga leaves
and remove the evil spirit from his body.
Nini said
that the leaves are in the forest
behind our relative's house.
His name is Idrus.
He's the one who can help make the antidote.
It's just that since his daughter died,
he exiled himself to a neighboring village.
- Brother. - Rum.
May, May, no.
Let's stay here.
May? What's the matter?
- Don't let go. - Come here, Andi.
Don't let go. Follow me.
Don't let him go!
Hold his hand.
Pointless!
Hurry, Ustad!
All it takes, when He wills something to be,
is simply to say to it, "Be!" and it is!
Glory be to Allah, all praise is for Allah,
there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest.
Glory be to Allah, all praise is for Allah.
There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest.
As you can see,
we don't have much time.
You can help him, right?
I don't do that anymore, Rum.
I left it a long time ago.
Let me do it.
But I need your help.
His body has been possessed by a demon.
I can't, Rum.
I don't want to deal with things like this anymore.
Maya?
You once lost someone you loved.
Would you want to see how other people go through it, too?
You can't do anything, Idrus.
Like that time.
Hold on.
Dasim?
Dasim.
Do you know me?
Maya!
Let's tie him up.
- Come on. - Yes.
Bring him here.
Leave her.
Hold his hands, just a moment.
Hurry, Ustad.
The forest of fresh sangga leaves is behind this house, right?
Hurry up.
Read whatever prayers you know.
His soul weakened.
It's easy for the devil to come in.
Wait a moment.
Yes, Ustad.
There is no power and no strength except with Allah,
The High, The Great.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Perform ablution for her with this water.
Do it.
There is no power and no strength except with Allah.
What do you want, fake us tad?
It's hot, you idiot!
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
I said stop!
Had We sent down This Quran upon a mountain
You would have certainly Seen it humbled and torn apart
In awe of Allah
Pointless.
This is pointless.
Her husband will die
when the baby is born.
This is pointless.
We set forth such comparisons for people
So perhaps they may reflect
He is Allah The Creator, the Inventor, the Shaper
He (alone) has the Most Beautiful Names.
Whatever is in the heavens And the earth (constantly) glorifies Him
And He is the Almighty, All-Wise
And He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
I told you, Idrus!
Pointless!
Fiya.
There's something wrong with my baby.
Take her to the hospital.
Give her that water, quickly.
Quick.
Dasim.
Ustad!
Can I call you us tad now?
Are you so mighty now that you're an us tad?
I seek refuge in Allah From the accursed Satan.
In the name of Allah The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Say, (O Prophet) I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak
From the evil of whatever He has created
And from the evil of the night When it grows dark
And from the evil of those (witches Casting spells by) blowing onto knots
And from the evil of an envier when they envy
You're a murderer.
You even sacrificed your daughter
for the sake of witchcraft!
She's crying, Idrus!
She's wondering.
Why is my father like that?
Say, (O Prophet) I seek refuge in the Lord of humankind
The Master of humankind
The God of humankind
From the evil of the lurking whisperer
We just need to hold it in until the poison reaches the heart!
Who whispers into the hearts of humankind
- My lord, the demon king. - From among jinn and humankind
Take a look!
This is black magic.
Say, (O Prophet) He is Allah, One (and Indivisible)
- Allah, the Sustainer (needed by all) - The wife has given up.
He has never had offspring Nor was He born
Her heart is broken!
And there is none comparable to Him
Give up, Idrus!
Stop!
It's pointless!
When they did, Moses said
What you have produced is mere magic
Allah will surely make it useless
For Allah certainly does not Set right the work of the corruptors
Dad.
I'm scared here.
Dad, why am I alone?
Nina.
I miss you.
Please stay with me here.
Be careful, Maya.
EMERGENCY ROOM
Kocher.
What happened here?
Idrus!
Idrus?
What happened?
Help. Take him to the kitchen.
Andi…
Wait.
Lift up. Up.
Be careful.
In the name of Allah The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Stop getting involved!
Help me lift him. Come on.
Come on.
Dip him.
In the name of Allah The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Tie him up.
Hold his hand.
- I'll make the antidote. - Yes.
I seek refuge in Allah From the accursed Satan
When they did, Moses said
What you have produced is mere magic
Allah will surely make it useless…
In the name of Allah The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I seek refuge in the Noble Face of Allah
And in the complete Words of Allah
Which no righteous Or wicked person can transgress…
Idiot! You're a murderer!
You think this can beat me?
I'm not wrong, Idrus.
He is the one who is greedy.
Selfish, lustful.
I only whispered what was already inside him.
Just like you back then.
You, who made your own decision to sin!
I seek refuge in the Noble Face of Allah
And in the complete Words of Allah
Which no righteous Or wicked person can transgress…
Ustad!
- What are you doing to Andi? - I seek refuge from the evil
That descends from the sky And from the evil of what ascends to it
Rashid!
Rashid, help me, Rashid!
He wants to kill me, Rashid.
And I seek refuge from the evil Of the trials of the night and the day
From those who visits at night except The one who brings good, O Merciful One
Rashid.
Rashid help me, Rashid.
He is not an us tad, Rashid.
He is a black magic shaman.
He even killed his own daughter, Rashid!
Stop it, Ustad!
Ustad, stop, you're going to kill him!
Stop it!
Oh, God forgive us.
In the name of Allah The Most Gracious, Most Merciful
I seek refuge in the Noble Face of Allah
And in the complete Words of Allah
Which no righteous Or wicked person can transgress
From the evil Of what descends from the sky
And from the evil of what ascends to it
And from the evil Of the trials of the night and the day
And from the evil of the star (or meteor) That appears at night
And from the harm of those Who come by night and day
Except the one that strikes With goodness, O Most Merciful
I seek forgiveness from Allah, the Almighty.
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
Thank God.
The poison has weakened.
Rum.
- Give it to him. - Yes, here it is.
Drink it.
Fiya?
Thank God.
Who poisoned my husband?
It's someone from your past.
They're hurt.
Peace be upon you.
How are you now?
And upon you too.
Thank God, I'm feeling better.
What about you?
Are you okay?
Thank God, I'm okay.
Our daughter is here, Bi.
She is being treated in the NICU.
I'm sorry, Mi.
You had to go through this.
Bi.
Have you asked Ustad Idrus
who sent us black magic?
It seems like he doesn't know for sure, Mi.
I'll send you a photo now, okay?
Can you please ask him
if he is the one?
Ustad.
Before I go home, I want to ask you.
Who put a curse on me?
Only God knows.
But it is better
for us to think positive.
We'd better improve ourselves,
instead of holding a grudge.
Whether you're sick or you're getting better,
it is all God's power.
But do you know who it is?
Yes.
But I don't know his name.
Is he the one?
Yes.
But like I said earlier,
don't hold a grudge.
Maybe he was hurt because of you.
But he did the wrong thing.
The important thing is that now you have returned to your family.
Build your family into a family filled with love,
tranquility, and mercy.
No grudges.
You're right.
It was him.
Dum.
I have to tell you this.
A few weeks ago, I was proposed to, and…
God willing, we will get married in two weeks.
Let's just let it go, okay?
I'm so sorry, Dum.
Sorry, May?
I still can't accept it.
And I will never accept it.
TO THIS DAY, WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.
WE ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO GET RID OF THE BLACK MAGIC THAT IS SEPARATING US.
THE EFFECTS OF THIS BLACK MAGIC SOMETIMES REAPPEAR.
IF YOU HEAR ME NOW,
IF IT'S REALLY YOU, I BEG OF YOU, PLEASE REMOVE THIS BLACK MAGIC.
AND FOR THOSE OF YOU OUT THERE,
IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE HE IS,
OR IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO REMOVE THIS BLACK MAGIC COMPLETELY,
HELP US.
Salima.
I've missed you.
Peace be upon you.
And upon you too.
Salima, be nice here with your mother
and your grandfather and grandmother.
TODAY, MAYA AND ANDI HAVE SEPARATED.
SATAN SAID, "MY LORD! BECAUSE YOU HAVE PUT ME IN ERROR, I WILL TEMPT THEM ON EARTH
AND MISLEAD THEM ALL, EXCEPT YOUR CHOSEN SERVANTS AMONG THEM."
