The request came after Anwar gave a kebaya uniform to Mpok Alpa during his younger sibling's wedding. Anwar recalled his last dialogue with Mpok Alpa about the kebaya.

"If yes, it's because that was a message from Mpok Alpa. When I was at the hospital, Mpok Alpa said something like, 'War, when are you going to get married?' Because, you know, when my younger sibling got married, my younger sibling from yesterday, Mpok Alpa came, and I gave her a kebaya," Anwar reminisced.

Mpok Alpa's request turned out to be very specific, showing how she had envisioned the special moment on her friend's wedding day. Not just any kebaya, the late woman specifically requested a dress made in a bright fuchsia pink color. Anwar also recalled his friend's words at that time.

"Then she also said, 'Why are you giving me a kebaya?' she said. 'I want a kebaya in that fuchsia pink color.' Then I said something like, 'Hmm, oh my God, okay, Insya Allah later,' I said that. That's how it was," he said.

Although the promise has been made, Anwar explained that the kebaya has indeed not been made yet. The plan is merely a desire that arose from a warm conversation between two friends who care for each other. He clarified that there have been no preparations at all regarding the kebaya.

"As for the kebaya, it hasn't been done yet, because we haven't really prepared anything yet. It's just a desire expressed, like, 'When Anwar gets married, don’t forget me, prepare a pink kebaya for me.' It's more like that," he explained.

For Anwar, Mpok Alpa is considered more than just a work friend; she is like family. This was proven during his sister's wedding, where Anwar truly gave family uniforms to Mpok Alpa, unlike other artist guests who were only invited. The sweet memory of the kebaya he gave her still strongly lingers in his mind.

"Yes, Mpok, pray for me, insyaallah. Because yesterday, when my sister got married, I gave her a uniform, kebaya, fabric, and a shawl. And she always wears that kebaya whenever there are Betawi events, and when she is filming, she still wears that kebaya," he said.
