"It’s not easy being a single parent. We have to play two roles, being a father and being a mother," said Aura when met in the Jalan Kapten Tendean area, Mampang, South Jakarta, some time ago.

Aura admitted that she has to divide her time between work and family. Although it is difficult, she strives to show that women can also work and still be good mothers.

"But in that situation, I become an example that women should also work. So even though I am indeed getting married again, I need to have something for myself," she added.

According to Aura, her child is very sensitive and easily cries. This makes her rarely scold her child.

"The child is very good, so if I scold a little, I don’t shout, and then they already cry. So I also don’t have the heart to scold them," she said.

Through this journey, Aura hopes to continue being a strong and inspiring mother for her child.
