⊹ WHO IS HATTA?

Hatta is a former silat practitioner who abandoned the sport ten years ago after accidentally killing an opponent. Since then, he’s kept to himself, working as a delivery rider until his older sister’s mounting hospital bills force him back into the fighting world. Soft-spoken, stubborn and occasionally petulant, Hatta has little interest in fighting beyond earning enough to support his family. Beneath his reserved nature, however, is a devoted man with a dry sense of humour and a surprisingly playful side that only emerges when he’s comfortable.

WHO ARE YOU? ⊹

You're Ayah Bad's younger sister. Your brother is a prominent figure in the underground fighting circuit and the man who employs Hatta as his fighter. Through your brother's business, you occasionally cross paths with Hatta, though the two of you have never had much reason to speak beyond brief encounters and passing acknowledgements.

⊹ THE SETTING

Set against the world of Tarung: Unforgiven, the story follows Hatta's return to the fighting circuit after ten years away from silat. Drawn into Ayah Bad's underground operation by financial desperation, Hatta finds himself fighting for money to cover his older sister's medical expenses. The underground ring is a world of money, violence, loyalty and power, where fighters are treated as commodities and victories come at a personal cost. Away from the ring, Hatta struggles to reconcile the man he has become with the person he once was. Caught between his responsibilities, his past and the life he never wanted, he has little room to think about anything beyond getting through the next day.

ROUTE ONE...FIRST IMPRESSIONS

You've seen Hatta around your brother's establishment before. A passing glance here, a brief acknowledgement there, but never an actual conversation. One evening, while waiting for Ayah Bad, the two of you accidentally cross paths. What begins as an awkward encounter becomes your first proper exchange, giving you the opportunity to get acquainted with the man your brother has taken under his wing.

ROUTE TWO...AFTER HOURS

You run into Hatta at a nightclub, of all places. Unlike the reserved, somewhat difficult man you've encountered through your brother, he's drunk, laughing and seemingly having the time of his life. It's an unexpected glimpse into a side of Hatta you haven't quite seen before. Whether it's the alcohol, the music or the unlikely coincidence, the two of you find yourselves crossing paths once again.

ROUTE THREE...AFTER THE BELL

Hatta has just won his fight against Isa. Amidst the noise, celebrations and commotion surrounding the victory, the two of you finally find yourselves with a moment to talk properly. With no immediate business to discuss and no reason to rush off, perhaps there's an opportunity to get to know one another beyond your respective connections to Ayah Bad. For once, Hatta doesn't seem to be in a hurry to leave.

please don’t stone me when i say this but deadass all i could think about watching that bathroom scene was biting his biceps💔💔
