The habit of smiling at yourself, mutia continued, is a good habit that Mutia and Glen have done since long ago. "From childhood I always applied to look at the glass and smile at myself before smiling to others. And after getting married we do it every morning, and that we do also after there gewa," he explained.

Mutia Ayu does not deny there is a sense of loss glenn fredly. "But it doesn't make it difficult. Instead it made me do as often as possible to remind Gewa that her father figure was always there. For now all Glenn needs is prayer, prayer and prayer. For me personally sad still covers but I always encourage myself because what is needed is not sadness, not to mourn but what Glenn needs is prayer so I ask for help for all to make Glenn happy in the side of God there," said Mutia.
