Plot edit
Yuni, a bright high school student, wants to attend university. She gains notoriety as she rejects a proposal by a man she barely knows. She rejects a second proposal, triggering concern relating to the local belief that if two proposals are rejected, a person will never marry. She finds her love for poetry as an escape from the reality. Until one day, her literature teacher comes to her house and becomes the third man to propose to her.[5]
