Initially Unaware of the News of Her Father's Death, Ria Ricis Claims Almost All NTT Residents Kept it Secret

Kapanlagi.com - Oki Setiana Dewi, Shindy, and Ria Ricis are currently shrouded in grief as their father, Sulyanto bin Sastro Wartoyo, has passed away forever. The deceased passed away on Friday (6/4) and was buried at Ponpes Daarul Quran, Tangerang.

1. Previously Kept Secret

Although she could not witness the burial of her beloved father, today, Saturday (5/6), Ria Ricis finally managed to come to her father's resting place after arriving from Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara. When asked after seeing her father's grave, Ria Ricis said that the news of her father's death had apparently been kept secret by everyone she met in Labuan Bajo.

"Today is the first time Ricis visited the new house of her late father. I only had the chance because, as friends know, I didn't have a signal in Flores anymore because I was going to climb a mountain at that time. I received the news at 8 o'clock NTT time, which means 7 o'clock in the evening Jakarta time," said Ria Ricis.

"That's a city in Flores, NTT, everyone already knows everything, but they kept it a secret from Ricis until Ricis found out from the family WhatsApp group. Even the friends in the car already knew from the beginning, but they kept it a secret because they were afraid that if they told me while I was going down, I would panic and something bad would happen, so they kept it a secret," she continued.

2. Almost All Residents Keep It a Secret

Not only that, Ricis mentioned that the residents in the place where she climbed the mountain also advised every other climber she met to keep it a secret. Therefore, the 25-year-old woman felt strange when she met other climbers who always gave her encouragement.

"They were united until the people there picked them up from the bottom to the peak of Weyrebo just to make sure 'please, if you meet Ricis, don't give any information'. I just felt that there was a climber who climbed with a smile and gave a lot of encouragement to go down, not like usual. I didn't realize that there was something hidden behind it," she said.

3. Conducting Social Service

In addition, Ria Ricis also mentioned the reason why she went to the eastern part of Indonesia for a vacation, just to relieve fatigue. And coincidentally, there was a little social service activity.

"There, coincidentally, according to Ricis, the journey to Sumba is healing time. Want to calm down, there is no specific reason because there is also a little work there. We have social service activities for children in East Nusa Tenggara, providing basic supplies and books for children," she concluded.
