Before passing away, his father also expressed a desire to go on vacation to Bandung using the newly operational high-speed train, Whoosh. Not only that, there was also a wish to perform Umrah once again with the family.

"Yesterday he mentioned let’s go to Bandung by Woosh, then he wanted us to go for Umrah again, he wanted to perform Umrah once more," said Uya.

In remembering his father, Uya described the deceased as a figure who was firm and steadfast in his principles. This principle was also what his father always reminded him to uphold in order not to tarnish the family name.

"My father had principles, he was firm, he once worked under the Ministry of Finance. I remember at that time his office was split and some were taken over by the government, and my father was offered a high position as a director but he refused, because it didn’t align with his principles," Uya said.

"He also told me that if you have principles, uphold them and don’t tarnish the family name. In our family, everyone is good, so if someone does something deviant, they must be aware that the family doesn’t have a bad or ugly name," he continued.

2. Simple

Besides being strict, Uya's father is also known as a simple person. Although he comes from a well-off family, Nararya does not like a luxurious lifestyle. Behind his strictness, Nararya is also known as a humorous figure who always entertains those around him.

"My father is a simple person and doesn't like luxury, sometimes he scolds me when I often flex. So he is very simple and humorous. He often entertains the family and those around him. When the family gathers, he can make everyone laugh continuously," he said.

"Yesterday during our gratitude event (for becoming a member of the DPR and DPRD) he was very happy because everyone was gathered. All the relatives were there, his siblings were also there, he said he was very happy. Grateful that this year we could make him happy," he concluded.
