She soon learns that Rasyid has a strict teaching of Islam, when he later tells Khalifah to wear a full body veil. Khalifah obeys his request, despite her father’s objection. But her neighbors start to perceive her as a terrorist’s wife. Meanwhile, Khalifah’s young neighbor, Yoga, has a secret crush on her. Yoga is the one who sews Khalifah’s veil. One day, Rasyid’s secret life is unraveled and he betrays Khalifah.
