Fiersa Besari's Wife: Go Home, Tomorrow Birthday!

JAKARTA - The wife of musician Fiersa Besari, Aqia Nurfadla, asked for prayers for her husband and other climbers after the sad news of the deaths of Elsa Laksono and Lilie Wijayanti Poegiono.

The two female climbers from Jakarta and Bandung died on their way down from Puncak Carstensz, Papua. Fiersa Besari reportedly joined the group.

"Friends, thank you for your attention. For the same worries as mine. Hopefully they are fine there, go home without anything else," wrote Aqia Nurfadla quoted by VOI from Instagram @aqianr, Sunday, March 2.

Aqia said that she could not share anything related to her husband's condition or chronology of the incident.

"I can't share anything, because I don't have the right and I don't know the situation there," he continued.

Currently, he only asked his followers to send prayers to Fiersa and all the groups suspected of still struggling.

"Let's send prayers for those who are still fighting there and also those who fail to fight there," said Aqia.

In another upload, Aqia was seen repeatedly contacting her husband via text message, unfortunately the message was not sent. Even Aqia showed one of her messages asking Fiersa to go home soon because she would soon celebrate her birthday.

"Pulang! Tomorrow's birthday," he said.

Mimika Police Chief AKBP Billyandha Hilde Budiman said Elsa Laksono's body had been evacuated to Mimika Hospital. Meanwhile, his colleague Lilie Wijayanti Poegiono is scheduled to be evacuated on Monday, March 3.
