Hujan Bulan Juni

Sarwono is a plain, rather stiff anthropologist, busy with research a senior lecturer has handed him, who also writes poems; three have just appeared in a newspaper. Pingkan, the sister of his friend Toar, has Javanese and Minahasan roots and is clever and caring: she scolds him for smoking and coughing, knowing that a suspicious spot on his lungs once ended his hopes of studying in America. Their love grows through small talk and teasing but runs into their different religions and ethnic backgrounds. Then her university sends Pingkan to study in Japan, at the Kyoto university where Katsuo, a Japanese man once close to her, now teaches.
