Plot
[edit]Bima and Dara are a high school couple, one financially and academically lower than the other. One day, Dara brings him to her house, and in a fit of enjoyment, they kiss and have sex. When Dara tests positive for pregnancy, the couple begins distancing each other. Bima suggests aborting the fetus, but Dara insists in keeping it. They agree on secreting it up to graduation, but one day a basketball hits Dara's head, and she wails "What about the baby?!" They are confronted by each others' parents and Dara is expelled. At a doctor's checkup, they learn that teenage pregnancies are highly risky.
Dara's younger sister Putri reveals their parents' plan on handing the baby to their mother Rika's relatives who have been struggling with pregnancy, concerned about her parental capability. She confronts them but to no avail. Dara and Bima marry; Bima works as the restaurant of Dara's father David, but he is allowed to leave in order to pursue high school. At a checkup, they learn the baby is a boy who Bima's mother Yuni names Adam. Discussing a possible adoption, Dara's parents agree as Dara plans on going to South Korea for college and considering the parental burden, but Bima's parents argue that the burden is destined.
Dara prepares memorabilia for older Adam with a letter. After insisting on giving Adam to Bima, she performs delivery which is a success, but results in uterine postpartum bleeding which requires removal of it. After being discharged, Bima and Dara hug and leave with their respective parents.
