LatestCecep is a kind-hearted young man who lives a simple life. He has mental retardation and is sometimes tricked by other people. Even though most people think Cecep has lost his memory, his mother loves him. He wants to make his mother happy in her old age, that is, to send his mother for Hajj. Unfortunately, they are very poor as his mother is just a vegetable trader. To make his dreams come true, Cecep always worked hard, starting from being a rice porter to being a security guard at Niki's house. Whatever insults and bad treatment people give to him, Cecep always forgives them.
