Adjie Pangestu Haru Tells About Her Relationship With Rafi: He's Everything For Me

JAKARTA Senior Actor Adjie Pangestu shared his story about his relationship with his son, Muhammad Rafi Akbar Putra Pangestu alias Rafi, who grew away from him after his divorce from his ex-wife, Annisa Trihapsari.

Adjie expressed his regret and gratitude for Rafi's growing figure to become a caring child.

"I felt a lot wrong with him (Rafi) When I finally separated from his mother, I finally lost him. I handed Rafi over to his mother. I never was with him. He never grew up with me, but he grew up being a good boy, very concerned with me. So it was extraordinary," said Adjie Pangestu quoted by VOI from Instagram @rumpi_ttv on Sunday, May 4.

Rafi is Adjie's only biological child, and that makes him have a very deep emotional bond. Adjie even expressed deep concern about his son's future.

"Rafi is the only child. I spoke to Annisa yesterday, 'The most sad thing about Rafi is me. You still have Aquene, I am at this age, is it possible for me to have another child, not necessarily. But if Rafi is why I will lose him'," he said.

"That's why ... Rafi everything for me. Alhamdulillah he is a good boy," he said gratefully.

As a father, Adjie also left a wise message for his son so as not to lose his identity in his life.

"Yes... actually the message for Rafi to be himself. Don't let him make decisions based solely on other people's happiness. That's my message at this time. Whatever he wants to do, whatever he wants to decide, don't based on other people's happiness, but based on his own decisions that have been thought of and his happiness," Adjie ordered.

Adjie realized how heavy the emotional burden that was borne by the children of the divorced family. He didn't want Rafi to sacrifice himself to make other people happy.

"He has suffered enough (because of his parents' separation), don't let him suffer for himself. Sometimes I see the broken home children they focus on making other people happy, including their parents, without paying attention to their own happiness. It's not good for the future," he concluded.
