Without a Luxurious Party, Here are 8 Photos of Ayu Ting Ting Celebrating Bilqis' Birthday with a Simple Surprise at Home

Last year, Bilqis's birthday was celebrated at a playground. However, this time the atmosphere was simpler and warmer, according to the child's wishes. "Oh yes, last year at the playground. I've been thinking about where my child was last year. Oh yes, at the playground," said Ayu.

She also explained that Bilqis has started to feel shy about large celebrations and is more focused on gifts and togetherness. "No, that's enough. Bilqis doesn’t want it, she feels shy about being celebrated all the time. She said, 'Oh mom, for Iqis, the important thing is the gift.' She said that," Ayu explained.

Ayu revealed that even without luxurious gifts, the presence of close friends was enough to make Bilqis happy. This simple surprise succeeded in creating a moment full of joy.

"Not yet, I haven't given a gift. This is already a gift. Friends came over, and she was like 'woaah'. She screamed really loud. She's happy. Alhamdulillah the surprise worked," said Ayu.

As she turns 11 years old, Ayu notices changes in her daughter who is starting to have her own world. Bilqis has become quieter and is beginning to show signs of maturity.

"Of course. My 11-year-old child is getting quieter. She has her own world now. It's hard to take pictures with her. She can already say 'What is it? What is it?' Like that. Right? Isn't it frustrating? It's frustrating, right?" said Ayu while laughing.

Although it can be difficult at times, Ayu remains proud of Bilqis's development. She sees her daughter becoming more mature in many ways, including in terms of worship.

"It's like she can be a bit... Responding to parents like that. In the past, she didn’t, right? Even if we hug her now, we really have to coax her first. What first. But what’s clear is, she’s getting better. Her worship is also alhamdulillah Bilqis, insya Allah she’ll be better," Ayu explained.
