Growing Up, Here Are 7 Photos of Kiesha Alvaro Encouraging His Siblings to Get Closer to Pasha Ungu - No Longer Always Waiting for Dad

"Maybe it's just because she doesn't understand yet. The divorce happened 5 years ago, and Nasha wasn't born yet. Nasha was born in 2009. So to say there's a lack of attention, that's not true. Dad still takes responsibility by giving allowance and visiting the house," Kiesha explained when met in the Menteng area of Central Jakarta on Tuesday (18/2/2025).

According to the soap opera actor from Dari Jendela SMP, his younger sibling at that time still did not understand their father's busy schedule. Moreover, he added, his younger sibling was also busy with school schedules. "It's just that dad has a busy schedule too; he's not unemployed. Plus, Nasha has to go to school and other things, so we just don't have the time to meet," Kiesha said.

Kiesha does not deny that she herself has felt the absence of a father figure after her parents' separation. However, from that experience, she learned that children also need to take the initiative to maintain relationships. "That's what I experienced too. Because of that, now my siblings and I, who used to feel the lack of a father figure, are now the ones looking for our dad," she said.

She teaches her siblings not to be passive in maintaining family relationships. If they feel a lack of attention, Kiesha encourages them to find ways to stay close to their father. "If we feel a lack, we should find out what the deficiency is. Is it the absence of a father figure? Lack of attention? Let's find that father figure; we should reach out to dad so that he pays attention to us," she said.

Now, Kiesha and her siblings are more proactive in communicating. She realizes that adjusting to their father's busy schedule is one of the keys. "So, since the younger siblings already have their own cars and are grown up, we visit dad, taking turns. It's no longer dad looking for us. So, it's not about waiting and waiting to see him," Kiesha said.

According to this young artist, they also have various unique ways to attract their father's attention. One of them is by teasing him or just joking around at certain moments. "In the end, there are many funny things we do. Teasing dad or whatever," she said.

In the conversation, Kiesha also recalled her younger sibling's request to take a photo with their father. That request made their mother, Okie Agustina, feel guilty for forgetting to fulfill it. "Oh yes, that was a while ago, but honestly, I forgot. But I remember there was a photo of that," she concluded.
