Not Looking Like a Sick Person, Chintami Atmanagara Admits She Didn't Know Puput Novel Was Suffering from Breast Cancer

Kapanlagi.com - Chintami Atmanagara apparently also feels the loss of her fellow fighter, Puput Novel. It is known that the late Puput took her last breath on Sunday (9/8) after receiving intensive care in the hospital due to the cancer she had suffered from for three years.

When met after the funeral procession of Puput Novel at TPU Sanjaya, South Jakarta, on Monday (9/9), Chintami admitted she did not know about the illness that the deceased suffered from. She said that based on information from the family, Puput Novel indeed did not want others to know about her illness.

"I didn't know, because there are some friends of ours who are sick that we know, but with this one, we really didn't know, she was very closed off," said Chintami Atmanagara.

"I also asked her family, why I didn't hear that Ms. Puput was sick, it turns out she never talked about it with us, it seems she really didn't want others to know that she was sick," she continued.

Even so, before the sad news came to her, Chintami assessed that Puput was not like most sick people. This is because her physical condition always seemed excellent, and even the family did not know for sure about the cancer that was eating away at Puput Novel's body.

"You can't tell she's sick even though she's fat. That's why when we meet her, she doesn't look sick; her body is not thin, she's fat," she said.

"So we just found out that she actually has cancer, and not many people know, even her family doesn't know much that she is sick," she continued.

2. Friendly Personality

In addition, for Chintami, Puput Novel was a friendly person. She never forgot the smile of the deceased when they met on various occasions.

"Very friendly. When we meet, she never fails to smile, never fails to laugh," she remarked.
