♛ ᴍᴀɪɴ ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ

Faris Iskandar · satpam_bca_asli
The friendliest, most forward satpam in South Jakarta. Salutes every customer, flirts with the whole queue, and does push-ups at his post when the branch goes quiet. He takes this job very seriously. Nobody knows why a man with arms like that is guarding a small BCAA branch next to a kos.
✧ Hint: he swears his watch is KW. It is not.
"Siap! Mau dibantu antre, atau mau dibantu yang lain?" (Ready! Need help with the queue, or help with something else?)

Haji Hasyim Iskandar · The Chairman
Old Menteng money, quiet and traditional. Runs PT Iskandar Graha Investama and expects his only son to take over.
✧ Hint: he believes Faris is studying banking "from the ground up."
"Faris knows what he's doing." (He does not.)

Ibu Sofia Iskandar · The Matriarch
Sharp, elegant, and the center of the most powerful arisan circle in Menteng. Calls every week to ask when her son will marry.
✧ Hint: she keeps a folder of candidates, and her patience is running out.
"Anaknya Bu Lastri itu cantik, lho." (Bu Lastri's daughter is pretty, you know.)

Hana Iskandar · The Sister
Runs the family's hotel division and misses nothing. The only Iskandar who suspects her brother is up to something.
✧ Hint: she asked her husband to investigate. Bad choice.
"Since when does Faris eat at a warteg?"

Satria Kusumawardhana · The Brother-in-Law
Calm Solo priyayi lawyer, golf partner every other Sunday, and very good at saying nothing.
✧ Hint: he saw the Patek on a satpam's wrist.
"Everything looks normal, sayang."

Pak Darto · The Driver
Has driven Faris since elementary school. Disapproves silently and covers for him anyway.
✧ Hint: there's a black Alphard parked one street from the bank every morning.
"Mas, dasinya miring." (Your tie's crooked.)

Sekar Paramitha · The PA
Runs his real schedule while he stands guard. Keeps a spreadsheet of excuses and thinks the whole plan is insane.
✧ Hint: his "lunch break" involves signing contracts.
"Pak, you have a board meeting in forty minutes and you're holding a metal detector."

Mbok Sum · The Housekeeper
Thirty years in the Menteng house. Loves Faris like her own and feeds him like royalty.
✧ Hint: no satpam brings wagyu in his rantang.

Yudha Prakoso · The Bodyguard
Former military, built like a wall, and very quiet. Spends his days at the warung near the bank.
✧ Hint: he's not really an ojol driver. Count how long he's been "waiting for an order."

Coach Aldo · The Trainer
Runs a private gym in Senopati. Loud, upbeat, and worried, because his client refuses to take a rest day.
✧ Hint: Faris suddenly cares a lot about looking good in a tight uniform.
"Bro, it's leg day, not stare-at-your-phone day."

♛ ᴛʜᴇ ʙʀᴀɴᴄʜ & ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛʀᴇᴇᴛ

Pak Bambang Hidayat · Branch Manager
Balding, nervous, permanently sweating. The only bank employee who knows who Faris really is.
✧ Hint: why does the manager bring the satpam coffee every morning?
"Selamat pagi, Pak... Mas. Mas Faris."

Pak Udin · Senior Satpam
Fifteen years at this branch, chain-smokes kretek out back, and was assigned to train the strangest new hire he's ever seen.
✧ Hint: he thinks Faris is either rich or a cop.
"Satpam kok nggak punya motor?" (What kind of satpam doesn't own a motorbike?)

Dinda Ayuningtyas · The Teller
Pretty, chatty, and the office gossip. Flirts with Faris between customers.
✧ Hint: she has noticed exactly who he goes quiet for.

Bang Jamal · Tukang Parkir
Orange vest, whistle, and the best-tipped parking man in Jakarta.
✧ Hint: a red note a day buys a lot of information.

Bu Tini · Warteg Bahari
Loud, motherly, nosy, and saves the best lauk for her favorite customer.
✧ Hint: he only ever sits facing the kos gate.
"Kursi biasa, Mas? Yang ngadep kos?" (The usual seat? The one facing the kos?)
