Zaskia Adya Mecca Cancels Trip to Al Aqsa for the Sake of Embracing Her Daughter

Kapanlagi.com - There is nothing more heartbreaking for a mother than seeing her child bear a heavy burden. This feeling is what is currently enveloping the heart of actress Zaskia Adya Mecca. In the midst of her devout worship in the Holy Land, she and her husband, Hanung Bramantyo, are faced with a difficult choice: to continue their spiritual journey or rush home to heal their daughter, Kala Madali Bramantyo.

The incident of abuse that Kala witnessed firsthand on her way to school has left a deeper wound than expected. That terrifying moment is firmly etched in the mind of the 12-year-old girl, causing trauma that requires professional handling.

When met at Denpom Jaya 2, Cijantung, on Monday (29/9/2025) night, the woman affectionately known as Bia could not hide her anxious expression. She admitted she did not expect the psychological impact on her daughter to be so significant.

"We have taken her to a psychologist, and I really didn’t expect that the trauma would be quite deep for her. She now needs support," said Zaskia Mecca. News about Zaskia Adya Mecca can be read at Liputan6.com!

1. Shorten the Worship

The news of Kala's deteriorating condition made Zaskia and Hanung anxious. Without thinking twice, the couple decided to shorten their pilgrimage journey and immediately fly back to their child's embrace. A decision that shows how great their love is.

"Mas Hanung and I decided to return earlier on September 28, 2025, even though we were supposed to come back on October 2, 2025," she said softly. "But we realized Kala needs us."

2. Becoming the Remedy

Their return proved to be the most effective remedy. The presence and warm embrace of the mother instantly provided the calm that had been missing from Kala. The child, who had previously struggled to fall asleep due to anxiety, was finally able to sleep soundly in Zaskia's arms.

"So now I accompany him to sleep, take him for walks. That's why when I got home, he said, 'Why is it that when I meet Bia and Abi, I feel so tired, I just want to sleep.' Usually, he can't sleep, but now he sleeps soundly, and I hold him," Zaskia explained.

3. Decision to Cancel the Trip to Al-Aqsa

However, behind that relief lies a great sacrifice and a deep sense of guilt. The decision to return early means that Zaskia and Hanung have to cancel their pilgrimage plans to Al-Aqsa Mosque. Unfortunately, this sudden cancellation affects the entire group that was traveling with them.

"Actually, we were supposed to go to Aqsa. When we decided to cancel the trip to Aqsa, the impact was very significant... And this one group fails because we have to go home," explained Zaskia, who was then echoed by Hanung.

4. Feeling Guilty

A feeling of sorrow also looms over this couple. They realize they have disappointed many people who have dreamed of being able to worship at one of the holiest places for Muslims. However, in the end, the call of the heart as parents to protect their child's mental condition is much stronger than anything else.
