JAKARTA - Behind his current success, actor Wafda Saifan apparently holds a bitter story in his past. He admitted that he had been entangled in a debt circle with a friend who acted like a moneylender.

This dark experience he expressed when promoting his latest film, "Riba". The story in the film turns out to have a very personal relevance to what he has experienced.

Wafda said this incident occurred when she was still in college, around 2007-2008. At that time, he was in a very difficult financial condition.

"Honestly, I once had an unpleasant experience about it. I once had a friend who, like, looked like a moneylender like that. It was like a loan shark," recalled Wafda in the South Jakarta area, Friday, November 28.

The problem started when the drone for Rp. 2 million he had just tried, fell and was damaged in the pool. Having no money to replace it, he was forced to borrow money from his friend.

He borrowed Rp 1.2 million in cash, but did not expect that the loan would be a nightmare. The interest set by his friend turned out to be very strangled.

"I'm crazy I'm dizzy myself. The flowers are bigger than the... I borrowed it at that time," he said.

The total debt he had to pay swelled to almost Rp 5 million. This problem not only burdens his finances, but also damages his friendship. His mother even got angry when she found out about the problems that befell him.

With hard work, he finally managed to settle the debt. This experience is a very valuable lesson for him.

Wafda Saifan's story is a real reminder of the hidden dangers of unofficial loans. Unreasonable flowers can ensnare anyone into bigger problems.

The film by director Adhe Dharmastriya himself tells the story of a young Sugi father (Ibrahim Risyad), who originally lived in peace with his beloved wife Rohmah (Fanny Ghassani), his two children Dimas (Kevin Danu) and Bening (Emilat Morshedi), and his mother-in-law Lastri (Jajang C. Noer), whose life was destroyed instantly when he was in RIBA debt from Juragan Ambruk (Andre Geovano).

In the midst of despair due to pressure and threats from Juragan, Sugi was caught up in the offer of "Greet of Children" from his old friend Muji (Wafda Saifan) - a bloody ritual that promises wealth but with the consequence that every drop of blood carries a real curse. The darkness begins to infiltrate the house, terror after a terrible terror that strikes the whole family.

Not everything that seems easy brings blessings, and not everything that is simple is free from consequences. Now, Sugi has to face the consequences of her mischoice.
