Meisya Siregar Tells of Bebi Romeo's Guilt After Their Child Nearly Drowned

Kapanlagi.com - Meisya Siregar revealed that Bebi Romeo is still filled with guilt after the near-drowning incident involving their son, Muhammad Bambang Arr Ray Bach, in Bali. She recounted that Bebi repeatedly apologized directly to their child.

"Over and over, he just keeps saying, 'Bang, forgive Papa, I should have been there, I should have pulled Bambang, not someone else. I shouldn’t have left Bambang on the beach.' So it just keeps going on," Meisya Siregar said when met in the Tendean area of South Jakarta on Monday (20/7/2026).

This statement was made by Meisya when asked to respond to developments following the incident. She added that Bebi still carries an emotional burden related to the event.

According to Meisya, since the incident in Bali, Bebi has not stopped expressing his regrets to Bambang. This is evident from his repeated and intense statements.

Meisya mentioned that the apology came along with Bebi emphasizing that he feels he should have been at the forefront to protect. This situation has led to more frequent communication between father and child in recent times.

Meisya's remarks were made during a media meeting in the Tendean area of South Jakarta on Monday (20/7/2026). She did not detail the chronology of the events in Bali but stressed that the family's current focus is on recovering psychological conditions.

2. Feelings of Failure as a Father

Meisya recounted that when she was about to upload a story about the incident on social media, Bebi could not even bear to look at the post. He requested a delay because he still felt devastated.

"Bebi looked like he wanted to cry, saying, 'No need, not yet, I'm still not strong. I still feel like what, a failed father, stupid,'" said Meisya.

Meisya explained that this reaction arose spontaneously every time the conversation turned to the incident in Bali. Therefore, she chose to adjust public communication steps according to Bebi's readiness.

3. Still Unable to Forgive Oneself

Until now, Meisya conveyed that Bebi is still unwilling to accept the invitation for a collaborative post about the incident on social media. He also has not been willing to post anything related to the incident on his own account.

"Up until now, he actually doesn’t want to accept collaboration with me either, so he doesn’t want to post. So he still can’t... it’s like he still can’t forgive himself," Meisya said.

According to Meisya, this condition shows that Bebi is still in the phase of processing his feelings and trying to accept what has happened. The family follows that rhythm so that the recovery can proceed more comfortably.

4. Give Space to Heal

On the other hand, Meisya emphasized that she does not want to force her husband to let go of the incident immediately. She understands that everyone has different phases in healing emotional wounds.

"I don’t want to oppose him, you know. Because he... I know this is still a healing period, and I really know that people are at different phases in healing wounds," Meisya said.

She chose to give space while also strengthening Bebi with religious reminders to help him cope more calmly with the incident.

"I’m giving Bebi space to forgive himself, and little by little I always tell him, 'All of this is qadarullah, it’s a path from Allah that we really have to accept,'" Meisya said.

Meisya hopes that with this approach, the process of making peace with oneself can take place gradually. The family’s focus remains on recovery and togetherness after the incident in Bali.
