Finally the third and youngest brother is Dodi he is a boy in a elementary school who usually spends the day having fun with his friends.

At first glance they may seem to belong to a rich family but in reality it is the opposite. The WARDANAS FAMILY are a lower middle class family living in a tight house in Jakarta. Mr Bapak Wardana works in a repair shop while his wife Mrs.Ibu Wardana only sells cookies.

Although money was always tight. They promised to give their children the best life they could. This is the reason why (3) three siblings study in upper class institutions. However everything is not so easy. In Tika’s university she was always bullied by rich girls because of her clothes and not wearing make-up. As for Duta his dream of becoming a Producer remains a dream due to lack of funds. Now he has given up and is on the verge of changing careers.

The little boy Dodi is often teased by his friends for wearing cheap sneakers. Despite all this the family tries to be happy with what they have. Every night they gather and have dinner together where Mr.Bapak tells some jokes that make everyone laugh.

The siblings work together and have fun from time to time. At one point they sneak into a wedding of a rich couple and enjoy the free food. There Tika met her crush Bayu who was doing simple work to earn money. After a while the brothers were caught but they seemed to be used to it.

They just ran and didn’t care about the consequences but one day everything changed, Mr.Bapak suddenly passed away in his sleep leaving a family miserable. Now the main source of their income is gone because they have no saving their life will be very poor. That’s why Mrs.Ibu gathered her children that night to make some important decisions.

Tika an Duta knew what was going to happen so they expressed their desires to leave the university. However Mrs.Ibu said it was not necessary. She respects her deceased husband’s decisions so she and her children should continue their studies and graduate. For funds Mrs.Ibu decided to sell the house. The decision was difficult but it was something that had to be done.

The next morning while the family was preparing for the day, two lawyers suddenly came outside with important news. To explain everything in detail they played a video on their laptop and surprisingly Mr.Bapak was there. At first he jokes about being alive but then gets the straight to the point.

He explained that he recorded this video a few months ago because he knew he was about to die now that he had an important announcement to make. In a surprising turn of events he revealed that he was rich, The family could not believe what they heard and Mr.Bapak even said that he is the son of one of the richest families in Indonesia.

In fact he has a large inheritance that he hid from his family for 21 years the only reason is that he wants his wife and children to be independent but now that he is gone he wants them to have money and live well. Finally before the end of the video Mr.Bapak said that he loves his family very much.

Hearing all this Mrs.Ibu and children are left in utter disbelief. When the lawyers left they are convinced that it was all just a prank. However, When they went to Mr.Bapak’s bank they are given a huge sum of five hundred million rupiah. The lawyer from earlier showed also declared that when they spend this amount they can withdraw more.

The family was overjoyed and went out to spend their new found wealth. At first they entered a fancy restaurant booked a VIP room and ordered all the delicious food. They even invited a beggar and forced him to eat with them.

After that they went to a mall and went shopping. Mrs.Ibu chose many fancy clothes for herself that she always wanted. On the other hand children buy new mobile phones and other gadgets. From these days their lives have completely changed.

The next day, At the school the youngest boy Dodi make his friends jealous by showing off his expensive adidas sneakers. Everyone was stunned how a boy from a poor family could buy this. Meanwhile, Tika started dating her crush Bayu.

One day his motorcycle broke down so Tika bought a new one for nineteen million rupiah. They rode it all day and had fun but at night Bayu returned the motorcycle to her and said that he refused to accept it lightly. At home Mrs.Ibu is obsessed with unique clothes and jewelry. He bought so much of it that in just three days the five hundred million rupiah just flew by.

However, this is not a big deal to them as Mr.Bapak mentioned on his video more points will be available soon. That day the lawyers came again and played video MrBapak again greeted his family with a happy face and asked if they are living in luxurious life. He explained that they would be able to access fifteen billion rupiah today which is thirty times the previous value of this. His family was almost going crazy because of the amount.

Starting the next day, their spending became more large-scale. At first they entered a large mansion and immediately bought it without any negotiation. Then they went to a furniture store and bought the security guard there promising to pay it triple.

After that they went to a luxury car show room and bought not one but three cars and none of them knew how to drive, With the passage days, the family gradually drifted away from each other even though they had all the wealth in the world. Little by little their unity is disappearing.

When Mr.Bapak was still alive they had dinner together but now everyone eats seperately. In particular the little boy Dodi was very annoyed by what was happening to them. Meanwhile Tika’s rich friends who used to bully her suddenly became her friends.

Envious of the new found wealth they pretend to have a real interest in her life. Tika also doesn’t mind being with them but in the process she begins to ignore her true friends who are always by her side. They dream of taking part in the Physics quiz competition and winning it.

However now that Tika has become distant her friends decide to quit. On the other hand the elder brother Duta is approaching the big day.

Duta knows only one thing that his father left them a lot of money. As for Mrs.Ibu the money made her head bigger. Everyday on her way home after picking up Dodi from school she listens to some street musicians and gives her a tip.

As the day goes by more and more musicians come hoping to be rewarded. In one day the number of musicians reached a hundred but Mrs.Ibu still had enough money to give them all.

One day someone saw her in the act and recorded a video. This video quickly went viral and was even shown on the news. Mrs.Ibu was amazed that she was on TV for the first time in her life so she decided to continue the work. From the next day she put on thick make-up and went to the same place with a larger amount of money.

She gives interviews and lies that she has been helping street musicians for years. In the midst of all this the lawyer appeared again and showed another video that Mr.Bapak had recorded a few months ago, He joked some corny jokes again and announced that they would have access to an addtional fifteen billion rupiah. The next day because of this the family became even more greedy except for Dodi.

Mrs.Ibu started bragging so one day a reporter asked her if she wanted to donate to the needy because she set the bar so high Mrs.Ibu said yes. She set a date and promised to provide plenty of food, clothing and money for those in need.

Meanwhile, Tika started spending a lot of time with her rich friends. Often going on trips, partying with them and even having a sleep over at their place. In the process Tika started drinking heavily and at one point she was almost tempted to do drugs. Fortunately, due to her remaining sanity. She spat it out and flushed it down the toilet.

Tika finally realized that she was getting worse and the change was going to be difficult as she was leaving the bathroom she heard a group of girls talking about her. She felt bad so she immediately went to her real best friends and convinced them to practice for the upcoming quiz competition.

On the other hand, Duta continues to hire new staff even though it is not needed. It’s sad that with only one day left for his drama premiere. All of his actors and actresses went on strike wanting to be paid before the show. Unfortunately that night the lawyers arrived with bad news.

They showed another video of Mr.Bapak as the family anxiously waited to hear the amount. He revealed that his saving had run out. The family is very excited because they expect another big amount. Mrs.Ibu wants two hundred million rupiah for her charity show and Duta owes more that one billion rupiah.

Despite the failure the family decided to continue their lives. Mrs.Ibu used all her saving to put on the charity show. Tika with some motivation from her boyfriend prepares for her quiz competition and Duta pleads with a politician to fund him drama in exchange for a small promotion.

On the grand day, Everything seems to be normal Mrs.Ibu has accumulated hundreds of boxes to deliver to the poor. Tika and her friend take the stage for their quiz competition and Duta successfully manages her drama but then everything started to fall apart because of the large number of people who gathered outside Mrs.Ibu house a girl was injured and had to rushed to the hospital.

During the quiz competition, The police suddenly came and arrested Tika and her rich friends on the accusation of drug consumption. Meanwhile in Duta’s drama show the politician went on stage and tried to promote himself but the crowd insulted him as he applauded. They called him a corrupt useless politician.

Duta tries to calm them down but fails. The show that was supposed to end well was ruined because of this the whole family was disheartened on the most important day of their lives. Meanwhile Tika cleared after her urine test came out negatve. He true friends and Bayu also forgave her despite her ugly behavior lately.

Later at home the family gathered but they are in no mood to talk to each other. The situation was very tense and to make matters worse the lawyers gave bad news. With them was the man who introduced himself as Mr.Bapak’s younger brother then said that Mr.Bapak left some of his inheritance for his brothers

Now it has come to take that because the family has spent a lot they have to give away their current assets like house, car and so on. Mrs.Ibu and her children were saddened by this but they also realizes that property is temporary and only thing that lasts forever is family. They finally come to the conclusion that money and fame do not guarantee happiness.

In the next scene, The family returned to their old house living a simple life as before. Tika and Bayu are about toget married while Duta is settling his life. However little do they know that fate has another twist in their life.

One day the lawyers showed up again and showed the video of Mr.Bapak in the video with his supposed brother who now took all their property. To everyone’s shock it turned out to be a paid actor. He also revealed that his saving have not been exhausted in fact they have spent less than one percent of his wealth.

Mr.Bapak only lied about is so that the family would understand the value of the money again. He knew that they would become weak and loss the bond that had always been their strength. Finally before the end of the video Mr.Bapak reminded his family that he loved them very much and continued to help him even after he died. At this point Mrs.Ibu and her children started crying and they finally learned because of this experience.
