Plot

It's been 12 years after Rangga (Nicholas Saputra) left Jakarta for New York City. Now a successful reporter, he received a short notice that he has to go to Bangkok and then Jakarta. After seeing an old Indonesian classic literature book he used to read, he remembers his high school lover Cinta (Dian Sastrowardoyo). Using LINE's find alumni feature, he contacts Cinta. In Jakarta, Cinta, now works in a magazine company, meets up with her high school gang that consists of Karmen (Adinia Wirasti), Maura (Titi Kamal), Milly (Sissy Priscillia), and Alya (Ladya Cheryl). Cinta tell the ladies that Rangga contacted her, much to everyone's surprise. To their disappointment, Rangga does not use his photo as a profile picture. After being confused on what to say, Cinta ask him what's up with him. He ask her to meet him, which she didn't respond. Maura supports her decision as she think what he's done by showing up after 12 years being gone just isn't right. Alya, however, is the only one who realize that Cinta is torn inside (just as Alya is the only one knew Cinta likes Rangga in the original film). Cinta decides to delete all of Rangga's messages. Rangga, disappointed, text her an apology. He has to return to the U.S. and are about to board his plane, but what ends in the airport also ends in the airport. Cinta suddenly appears and ask him if a full moon in New York is different from one in Jakarta (Rangga said that he will return in the next full moon in the first film). They approach each other and share a smile.
