Not Brave to Ride Public Transportation, Ayu Ting Ting Always Picked Up and Dropped Off by Her Father From Preschool to College

Kapanlagi.com - Ayah Ayu Ting Ting openly talks about her childhood to KapanLagi.com. The man who is familiarly called Ayah Ojak reveals how spoiled Ayu Ting Ting was when she was still in school.

According to Ayah Ojak's confession, he always picked up and dropped off Ayu Ting Ting from and to school. In fact, Ayu didn't hesitate to call if her father hadn't arrived to pick her up.

"Preschool is close to home, right? She's smart, she knows when we're watching her from home. Because the distance is only 25 meters from home to her preschool. We watch her from the door, she walks like that. If she's comfortable, she really goes to school, enters the room (class). But Sifa is different, she's always picked up and dropped off. That's why Sifa's preschool was moved, while Ayu stayed there. Preschool, elementary school, her father always picked her up, even in middle school and high school," said Ayah Ojak, Ayu Ting Ting's parent when interviewed by Kapanlagi.com.

"When she was in high school, she would call me when it's already 1 o'clock, 'Dad, where are you? I'm already at the bus stop. Hurry up, please'. She's not brave enough to ride public transportation alone," he added.

Ayu Ting Ting's habit of asking to be dropped off and picked up is not because she has had a traumatic experience using public transportation. When she was in high school, Ayu occasionally went home by angkot (public minibus) with her friends.

"She's just not brave, she's afraid. So her father picks her up. Her father picks her up every day. Until her father said, 'Oh God, when will I have a grown-up child who wants to be independent?' In the morning, he drops her off and picks her up. Sometimes she takes the angkot, sometimes with her friend, they go home together. In three years of high school, she probably took the angkot a few times. The rest of the time, her father always picked her up," said Abdul Razak, Ayu's real name.

2. Starting College and Becoming Independent

This habit of Ayu's continued into college. At the beginning of her college journey, Ayah Ojak took care of all of Ayu's needs. However, as time went on, Ayu began to adapt and become more independent.

"At the beginning of college. Her father did everything, registered her, and then after a few times, she became independent. She has adapted," she concluded.
