Memorable First Meeting, Ucok Baba Describes Dicky Topan as Being Only a Few Centimeters in Size When He Was Born

When met after the burial procession at TPU Karet Bivak, Central Jakarta, on Friday (8/7), Ucok Baba recounted the moment he first met Dicky. 

Ucok mentioned that when Dicky Topan was still a baby, his condition was very concerning because he was only a few centimeters in size.

"Yes, Dicky, let me tell you, when he was still a baby, he was brought to me, introduced by his aunt first. How did it happen, Dicky, because back then Dicky was very small, only a few centimeters," said Ucok Baba.

"So his aunt brought him to my office, asking for support from Ucok, to give encouragement to Dicky. That's the most beautiful memory for me. Then, just recently, I wanted to invite him to join, but he got sick," he continued.

Ucok Baba also confirmed that Dicky's heart disease relapsed two years ago. Because this 26-year-old man has had a heart defect since birth.

"Actually, two years ago, he had a heart problem and now his heart condition has relapsed, causing swelling in his heart," he said.

In addition, Ucok mentioned that Dicky had also told about his illness. Apparently, before, Dicky had received medical treatment and was able to fight his illness, but now fate has decided otherwise and Dicky passed away.

"Yes, he told me that two years ago he had experienced the same thing. Alhamdulillah, he was saved by the doctor and recovered for two years. Finally, yesterday he had difficulty breathing again so he was taken to the hospital, after returning from the hospital he was healthy again, and then he had difficulty breathing again, and after that it was over," he concluded.
