Syahr El-Ghafran (Month of Forgiveness)

Afri has just returned from the United Kingdom for his semester break. He reunites with his old friends Faran and Harris. This marks the beginning of Afri's introduction to Faran's sister Kara. Because Afri knew that Faran would not agree with his relationship with Kara, they chose to hide it from Faran because Faran is a bit conservative and thus this sparks a conflict between them. Will Faran forgive Afri's actions? Will this conflict ended up with forgiveness in the holy month of Ramadan Mubarak.
