I took to the shop and they said change the battery brand new. However, after i use car for 6-7 months it happened again that i couldn't start the car d/t no battery, the technician said to me that the computer drain the battery and they will adjust the computer system not to drain battery. After the 2nd time happen i drove for another 3-4 months i experience the smoke coming out from the front hood while i was driving. I brought to the shop and the technician couldn't find any problem.
