Every time Hari Raya arrives, Mak Teh's house is lively with children and grandchildren
who come home to celebrate Hari Raya. Mak Teh will prepare Raya food with her children
and grandchildren in the backyard. In contrast to Pak Tam, his house is not as lively as Mak
Teh's house because Pak Tam does not have many children. Furthermore, his daughter,
Syasya rarely returns home to celebrate Hari Raya in the village due to the demands of his
job as a doctor. Every year, Mak Teh would greet Pak Tam who was watching them from
the window and Mak Teh would ask for sugar from Pak Tam.

The sad story between Pak Tam and Mak Teh began on Hari Raya in 2020 when they had
to celebrate Hari Raya alone because their childrens could not go home to celebrate Hari
Raya in the village. The children of Pak Tam and Mak Teh were unable to return to the
village due to the Movement Control Order as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic which did
not allow them to cross the state.
