Tragedi Oktober (transl. October Tragedy) is a 1996 Malaysian Malay-language romantic drama film directed by Yusof Kelana, written by Yusof Haslam and starring Awie, Erra Fazira and Amy Mastura. The film is a sequel to Sembilu II (1995) and the third film in the Sembilu film series.[1]
Wati and Shamsul have been married for six years and they have a child, Shamin. Awie, Wati's ex-lover, even though six years have passed, is still looking for a girl who can truly fill the emptiness in his heart. However, the appearance of Farah, the daughter of a tycoon, has given Awie a new lease of life.
Meanwhile, the happiness of Wati and her husband Shamsul does not last long as a tragedy befalls her husband in October. Wati then lives as a widow with her child. An unexpected meeting between Awie and Wati at a party causes nostalgia between them. Wati cannot accept Awie's presence because she already thinks Awie is no longer in her life.
Awie, on the other hand, is only sympathetic to the fate of Wati and her son, Shamin. Time passes so quickly, the warmth that has blossomed between them causes tension in the relationship between Awie and Farah. Farah thinks Wati is trying to take Awie back from her. Awie decided to get engaged to Farah, and at the same time gave her his trust and honesty. However, it doesn't end there. Farah wanted to make sure that Wati didn't interfere with her life and didn't exist between her and Awie. Finally, another heartbreaking tragedy occurs in October.
