Still Heartbroken, Zaskia Sungkar Doesn't Plan To Add More Horses

JAKARTA - Artist Zaskia Sungkar admits that he still feels deep sorrow after losing his beloved horse.

He even emphasized that he had no plans to buy a new horse in the near future because he still felt "broken heart".

"No, no (I want to buy another horse), I'll still break my heart. Not yet, not yet, I haven't bought it. Eh, there is no plan to buy another horse," said Zaskia Sungkar in the South Jakarta area, Sunday, July 27.

The loss made him now appreciate the other horses he had. Zaskia felt that with less amount, she could divide her time and love more appropriately.

"It's like now, so we already appreciate what already exists, spend time with them, so it's more fitting, because if for example there is a lot of time sharing, just increase it, it's difficult, especially for those who regret it," explained Zaskia.

What makes this loss feel so heavy is the existence of a special history behind the horse. The horse he had kept for two years he found directly while in the Netherlands.

"(Shared) I'm 2 years old. 2 years. It's just like there's a history, it's the only horse I've seen directly in the Netherlands," explained Zaskia Sungkar.

He then recounted the dramatic moment when he first met the horse. It all started with a photo sent by his friend while he was walking.

"So I was walking around suddenly someone sent it, right, my friend sent a photo, this is eh Shireen here, if I'm not mistaken someone sent a photo there was a funny horse," he added.

He was curious to make him desperate to travel long distances to a village in the Netherlands at 4 am with his husband, Irwansyah, and his brother-in-law. The struggle paid off.

"Finally, yes, I walked to the village that night at 4 o'clock, from really from the city to there it was really far away. Eh, with Mas Irwan and my sister-in-law. There, immediately fell in love, kept waiting, wait for him to come to Indonesia," he said.
