In this scene, Najwa Shihab tried to sweet-talk Denny Cagur, and after she sweet-talked him, he went klepek-klepek in the literal meaning. Just to show that her words made his heart melt. Let's watch this scene.

The conversation that happened in the clip above with English translation is as follows.

Najwa Shihab: Aku juga pengen gombalin kang Denny. (I want to sweet-talk you too.)

Denny Cagur: Wah! Plis, pegangin gue. Gue takut pingsan. (Wow! Please, hold my hand. I'm afraid that I will pass out.)

Najwa Shihab: Aku tuh orangnya suka belajar. (I love to learn.)

Denny Cagur: Iya. (Okay.)

Najwa Shihab: Dan sejak kenal kamu aku jadi banyak sekali  belajar. (And since I've known you I learned a lot.)

Denny Cagur: Belajar.. Belajar apa? (What did you learn?)

Najwa Shihab: Belajar jadi yang terbaik untuk kamu. (Learn to be the best person for you.)

Azis: Biarin aja, biarin! (Just let him like that, let him!)

Najwa Shihab: Siram air, ya? Siram air ngga? Biar ini.. ngga? (Should I flush water on his face? Should I? So that he'll awake.)

And when Najwa finished her sweet-talk, Denny began klepek-klepek in the literal meaning to show that Najwa's words had melted him.
