Kapanlagi.com - The departure of Mpok Alpa not only leaves sorrow for the entertainment world but also leaves four children who still need a mother's love. Now, her husband, Adji Darmaji, must take on the dual role of both father and mother for their beloved children.
With determination, Adji promises to care for and raise his four children as best as he can. He is fully aware that this is the greatest trust left by his beloved wife.
"As a father, we will arrange everything as best as possible," said Adji when met at his residence in Jagakarsa, Saturday (16/8/2025).
1. Support from Those Around
He is grateful not to be alone in facing this new chapter of his life. There is a housekeeper who has been helping to care for the twins, as well as full support from the extended family, both from his side and from the late Mpok Alpa's side.
"There's also a maid who takes care of them, we ask for help to look after them but it’s still under our supervision, right? We still have Mpok's help to supervise, and my older brother also likes to check in," he explained.
2. Children Become the Top Priority
For him, monitoring the growth and development of the children is the number one priority. He ensures that even without the presence of a mother, his children will not lack attention and affection.
"So we don’t let them go, there are many who supervise and there’s also the maid to help. God willing, that will be taken care of, the children are number one for me," he asserted.
3. Calm the Beloved Child
Left by their mother, the twins, who are still babies, certainly feel a deep loss. Adji recounts that his two babies were fussy all night. He tried to calm them using traditional methods suggested by the elders.
"Yes, they were a bit unwell, quite fussy last night. And as the old folks say, just put the mother's clothes close to them, like that," he said.
4. The Last Clothes of the Deceased
And indeed, a small miracle happened. After being brought close to the last clothes worn by their mother, the twins' cries subsided and they were able to calm down.
"Where are the mother's last clothes? They really stopped crying like that," Adji said.
5. Continue the Wife's Work
In addition to taking care of the children, Adji is also faced with offers from friends of the deceased to continue some work that had been postponed. However, for now, he wants to focus first on handling everything related to his wife's passing.
"Many friends said they wanted to take care of the last rites. There are many who want to help, but I said let's wait, I want to take care of this first, the mourning for 7 days, 14 days, 40 days," he concluded.
