Nunung Srimulat Does Not Regret Being the Family's Backbone Even If the Way Is Wrong

According to Nunung, helping family is a priority, in accordance with Islamic teachings that prioritize siblings before others. "Out of the 6, at that time they really needed my help. And in Islam, the ones who must be helped are siblings first, if you follow that, then to others. Although there are many other people I help as well," she explained.

However, she realized that the way she took at that time might not have been right. She was too focused on chasing money without considering her future.

"But I might have been wrong in my approach back then because I was lulled into thinking that my life was about chasing money rather than me being chased by money. So I want to be happy by being able to make my family happy," he said.

Nunung remembers how her friends in Srimulat often advised her, especially Tarzan, who witnessed her struggles since she was young. "I was often reminded by my friends in Srimulat, I don’t need to explain Srimulat, they know my 'kitchen' very well. I grew up, matured, and aged in the midst of them," she said.

Tarzan once emphasized that being the backbone of the family is a good thing, but it must be done correctly. "Mas Tarzan often advises me, 'It's great that you are the backbone of the family, awesome, they all respect you. But your approach is wrong. We don’t know about fortune, death, or destiny; those are secrets of God that we don’t know,'" said Nunung.

According to him, providing assistance is not enough just by giving money, but there must be a solution so that the people being helped can be independent. "But later when you are old, you will feel that your way is like this', 'So how is the way?', 'Give him a fishing rod, don't just keep giving bait', I have also tried to give a fishing rod but in the end, maybe it didn't work, maybe it wasn't targeted properly," he continued.

Although she does not regret it, Nunung admits to having felt disappointed with the situation. However, she tries to accept everything with an open heart. "Well, in the end, this is what I experienced, oh really, I just remembered the words of my friend from Srimulat, because they already knew my 'kitchen' without me telling them. So it's okay, if I regret, no. I have felt disappointed, I have definitely felt disappointed," she concluded.
