In 1990, Milea, her sister Airin, and their parents move from Jakarta to Bandung. Her father is an Indonesian Army officer. On her way to the school, he met Dilan, a bad boy and motorbike gang chief, who confidently says she will sit on his bike and he will be her boyfriend. Dilan starts to seduce her by coming to her house, calling to her house from payphone, and sending her gifts with romantic means; including a filled crossword puzzle book, as he says "so you would not be bother to think the answers". At the other hand, Milea has a boyfriend named Benni back in Jakarta. However, she is uncomfortable with him since he is rude and foul-mouthed. Despite Dilan's frequent overconfident movements, which initially made Nandan – her close friend who is in love with her – uncomfortable, Milea starts to develop feelings for him.
