Regarding birthday gifts, Ruben admits he no longer has expectations. For him, the presence of close people is what matters more.

He places togetherness as the most meaningful expression of care. In this new age, the presence of friends and relatives is what he celebrates.

4. Time to Talk with Onyo

This birthday moment was also filled with many conversations with his child, Betrand Peto or Onyo. They took time to exchange thoughts.

"So from Onyo's side, we talked and discussed a lot. Since I'm getting older, Onyo is also becoming more mature. So we use this time for introspection, reflecting on what is good (for the future)," he explained.

According to Ruben, Onyo's maturity makes the discussion space more intense. He utilizes the activity of reflecting and introspecting to plan for things that are considered good for the future.
