Vocabulary From the Scene

[Jeng] is short for [diajeng]. This term is from the Javanese language. This term is used to address a female who you feel very close to her. It's like [mbak], but [jeng] is more polite than [mbak], and you already close to that person. You can read about the meaning of [mba] in this article, Mba In the Indonesian Language.

[Pasti] = certain. Ini pasti... <--- This phrase is usually used when you are certain about something. In this scene, Bisma's mother felt certain that the woman in front of her is named Cindy, but actually, she was wrong. So, you can feel certain about something, but in fact, you still can be wrong about it.
