Once upon a time in crowded city called Bandung, there live a poor man named Ladin. Even though he was poor, he was well-liked by his neighbors because he was friendly and liked to make enlightening jokes. He was a very cheerful who never felt sadness cause he was grateful of everything. But. there was one thing that he always dreamed of since he was a child: to fall in love.
Although he had a lot girl friends he never experienced any special connection with them.
One day, his neighbour offered him a job to be a Gojek driver. Ladin gladly accepted the offer, because he really needed the money for his daily needs. So the neighbour told him that he would start his job immediately.
The neighbours took him to the work station where a lot of green motorcycles were parked. Ladin received a set of keys to his motorcycle. Suddenly, his neighbours held up his phone. He announced that the caller was Ladin's first costumer. Ladin was nervous. So Ladin immediately started the engine and drove to the place where the customer was.
He finally arrived at a restaurant. He waited for the customer for half an hour until he got sleepy. He finally woke up after someone nudged him. He looked up and saw a tall and beautiful young woman. Ladin gave her a helmet and the young woman got on. He saw that she had a lot of stuff to carry. So Ladin helped the woman mount her stuff on the seat. He noticed a CD wedged in between her books. It was a CD of his favorite musician.
On the way, he asked her about the musician and what her favorite song was. They ended up talking about it until they arrived at the destination, her house They said goodbye to each other. Ladin returned home feeling happy. Ladin kept thinking about the girl. He felt sad for the first time because he forgot to ask for her name. He realized that her name was displayed on the phone directory.
The next day, he returned to work. Ladin received another call, but this time it was a man. His friend, a senior, noticed that Ladin only had one customer whereas he had plenty. So he gave one order to him. So after picking up and dropping off the man, he picked up the extra customer. It turned out to be the same girl as yesterday. Ladin thought it was fate. He reminded himself to ask her name this time properly. The young woman told him that her name was Sarah and she lived in a communal home so she had nobody to drive her anywhere. This time, she was going to a dress boutique.
Fate intervened every time Ladin went to work. He often received her as a customer. As time passed by, they became close friends and Ladin slowly fell in love with her.
However, one day, Sarah gave him a square piece of paper. He opened it up and it said Wedding of Sarah and Ryan. He was heartbroken and decided to let her go. But she stayed in his memory because Sarah was his first love.
