Three Times in Love Failed, Titiek Puspa Turns Heartbreak into Legendary Songs

The love story of the late Titiek Puspa turns out to be not as beautiful as her songs. Behind her successful career and a series of timeless works, Titiek experienced three failures in love. However, instead of drowning in pain, she turned those stories into inspiration for her creations.

This was revealed by her daughter, Petty Tunjungsari, during the tahlilan event seven days after Titiek Puspa's passing at the PTIK building in South Jakarta, some time ago.

"Yes, my mother had three failed love stories, but she turned those failures into a challenge, and there was one that she used as inspiration to create a love song. One of the lyrics is 'you are flirting in front of me', that's a true story," said Petty.

Instead of displaying her sadness in front of the public, Titiek Puspa chooses an elegant way to express her pain—through song lyrics. For her, heartbreak is not a disgrace, but a source of strength to create.

"What I mean is, you young people nowadays, when you break up, you immediately post about it, so my point is, don’t air your shame, just like Eyang who also experienced heartbreak but then turned that challenge into an opportunity," said Petty.

Petty added that instead of harboring resentment, her mother even thanked her ex-husbands for being an important part of her life journey.

"Even she is grateful to her three husbands for being part of the scenario, her life episode, yes it's okay you hurt me but it turns out that it inspired her to write," she revealed.

Titiek Puspa's wise attitude is a legacy of values that her family wants to continue to uphold, especially in dealing with personal feelings and sadness.

"She is someone who doesn't easily get hurt. She can turn heartbreak into poetry, into lyrics, into songs that are ultimately sung by many people. That is an incredible strength," Petty explained.

Now, although the legend is no longer with us, the legacy of her life story and her works live on. Including love songs that were born from wounds, which actually elevated Titiek Puspa's name in the hearts of her fans throughout time.
