Although abandoned, Pak Tarno tried to meet his mother. He got his mother's address when he became an artist. It is known that Pak Tarno's mother is in Sumatra.

"Finally I met her when I became an artist, she was already old. She talked to people that Tarno is my son. No one believed it," he said.

"Finally I came to Sumatra," continued Pak Tarno while crying.

In the moment of meeting with his mother after a long time of being abandoned, Pak Tarno revealed that his mother apologized to him. However, Pak Tarno admitted that he still feels hurt by his childhood story.

"She just said, 'Sorry, No. Tarno, I didn't take care of you when you were little. Now I'm old'. I still feel the pain now. Back then, I ate clover leaves, water hyacinth, any kind of leaves boiled, I couldn't even afford rice, corn was difficult. I had to work as a laborer to eat, while other kids went to school, I was already working as a laborer, even in first grade I didn't get paid," said Pak Tarno stuttering while telling his story.

Mr. Tarno searched for work and went to Jakarta. He did any job to support his life. From being a puppeteer to selling oil.

"Selling oil didn't earn any money, from morning to afternoon no one bought it, the road was a bamboo bridge. No one bought it because the bamboo bridge was slippery. So I went home. I tried selling water, 'Ma'am, I'll only ask for payment if it's sold'. 'It's okay, just pay after it's sold', water sells well," Mr. Tarno reminisces about his past.
