7 Portraits of Wika Salim that Reveal the Pain Behind the Billions of Rupiah Embezzlement Case, Now More Cautious When Placing Trust

"Yes, that's why. That's it. Because I also work, I only meet my parents when I come home from work. Sometimes I don’t go back to my mom's place, my mom comes to my place. That's it, because what? Because my life is already work, family, work, family," Wika revealed. 

Wika feels deeply disappointed, especially because her hard work to meet the needs of her team and family has been betrayed. "So until something like this happens, oh my god, I work really hard. I'm not just thinking about myself, I'm thinking about you, my teams who work with me, so that you all can bring money for your families. But there's one person who just, let's say, slits our throats like that," she said with a disappointed tone.  

This 32-year-old woman also feels concerned about the impact felt by the team and crew due to these actions. "I, in my position, alhamdulillah, am still doing well. Look at others whose lives are, well, the crew lives below you. How can you still be so cruel as to take away the rights of these kids? In my opinion, it's just too much," said Wika.  

Although it is heavy, Wika admits that she is trying to let go of what has happened. "Actually, if you say I have to be sincere, then I have to try to be sincere because, again, what happens is all by the will of Allah. Maybe this is a test for me, or it is also a reminder for me to be informed about how to deal with things like this," she explained.  

However, Wika also emphasized that there are limits to that sincerity. She hopes that those responsible for the actions can accept the consequences. "If the bitter possibility is that everything cannot go back or whatever, if you say you have to be sincere, then you have to be sincere. But there are other resolutions that you must accept the consequences of all the actions you have taken," she asserted.  

This bitter experience has brought many lessons for Wika, especially regarding trust and team management. She hopes that similar incidents will not happen in the future. "I have become more cautious, because not everyone who is close to us can maintain trust," she added.  

Wika also conveyed a message to anyone who has ever faced or may face a similar situation. "It is very important to stay strong and seek the best solutions, because we do not know what other tests will come. What is clear is that I believe there is definitely a lesson behind all this," she said optimistically. Stay tuned for the latest updates about Wika Salim and other artists only on Kapanlagi.
