JAKARTA - Cut Meyriska and Roger Danuarta's love journey is like an interesting fairy tale to listen to. The couple, who were reunited by their role in the soap opera, got married in Medan on August 17, 2019. After getting married, they went through a lot of changes.
Chika, Cut Meyriska's nickname, felt a significant difference when attending the premiere of the film The Last Heaven's Door at Epicentrum, Kuningan, South Jakarta. The fans are getting more and more enthusiastic to support their duet in the film.
"I don't think so, in fact, at the premiere, we were confused. Have they dared to go back to the cinema yet. Are they excited or still scared. We are really grateful that yesterday this enthusiasm came all the way, defending, plus the response really positive," said Roger.
"We didn't expect the audience's enthusiasm, everyone was happy, we were happy because the results of our hard work were appreciated by the audience," said Chika.
Had opened and closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, cinemas were greatly affected by the restrictions on social activities. For almost two years, Indonesian films have not visited cinemas. Roger himself was enthusiastic about going back to the cinema.
"After not going to the cinema for a long time, I really miss it. When we see the crowds coming, it's like our hard work is being treated. Our tiredness is gone," he explained.
If previously Chika was hated by many mothers because of her antagonist role in soap operas, now many mothers support her. "Before, there were many who hated me, yes. I used to forget myself, had worn the hijab and played the protagonist, I still forgot. Because in the past I was bullied too many times. I thought that my mother would bully me. But this came with love for me. So you can't believe it, are you serious?" he explained.
Chika saw the change as the fruit of her hard work in acting. The reaction of the mothers who enthusiastically supported him made him proud. Because Cut Meyriska after playing the character Hello Kitty in the soap opera Note Hati A Wife has always been identified with the actor for years.
"It means that I can play a character that I hate, I can love. So that's an honor for me. I haven't had confidence in myself all this time, have I succeeded or not? Is it possible or not? I didn't actually like that. Getting the protagonist role was a challenge with my eyes and my face that had been labeled fierce before," said Chika.
The actress who was born on May 26, always gets eccentric roles in various soap operas. Cut recalls that after Hello Kitty, he got the role of marrying uncles in the soap opera Street Children, then became a madman in Putri Titipan God.
Because of the antagonist role, Chika admits that the audience often hates him. "Since she started wearing the hijab, it seems to have changed," said Roger.
"It's true, it seems that after wearing the hijab, the role is no longer bad. I played with Roger before becoming husband and wife, so mothers were annoying too. That's all, I don't know that many people like it, especially mothers," said Chika.
Marriage Brings Blessings
Marriage, brought many changes in Cut Meyriska and Roger Danuarta's lives. Of course, the change was in a positive direction. "Many things have changed, from personal traits to myself, who used to have thin ears, people can speak a little to the heart. Now I'm really stupid," explained Chika.
In the past, continued Chika, when someone talked about her behind her back, she immediately asked why they were being talked about like that. "Now it's not. His way is great, it's subtle, it makes our minds understand. Usually we've been talked to by our partners and parents. But I admit he's good at making me fall in love with him, makes my mind indifferent now, I'm so stupid with thoughts people," he explained.
Chika's experience when she decided to wear the hijab, Roger was the one who made her feel steady and calmer. "From the time I wore the hijab, I called everyone who had a fuss or had a problem with me. I dm, called and apologized. I was asked by Roger to pray and apologize, it made me very calm," he explained.
Roger only chimed in with the experience. "So it's like starting something new," he said.
"I feel a lot of changes, don't get angry often, don't get offended often, don't get emotional easily. I used to get stabbed. Now no, if there's a problem it's more with myself. I told my husband, am I like this? If my husband says yes, it means I have to change myself," he continued.
"Now it's better, more sensitive to the wife's voice. Now someone is taking care of it, living more regularly. This is over (weight loss, ed). Wait, yes, this is a diet," said Roger.
Talking to the two of them seems very compact. They compliment and complement each other. Even so, in terms of their work, it turns out that they do not set a standard for having to work together.
"If I decide to wear the hijab, there is a decision to take what kind of role it is from my husband, I will give a note. But to prohibit me from taking a role, ban playing with whom, it's never. The principle of the two of us, never prohibits each other with the opponent. different. Roger plays with other women, it doesn't matter," said Chika.
However, Chika apparently has a personal sensitivity. "This is from myself, yes, not Roger who gave input. Only scenes 18 years and over I didn't take because I was already wearing a hijab. Especially if the co-stars are different, from when I wear the hijab it changes," he added.
Meeting in the acting room, Roger did not burden Chika with various prohibitions as a wife. "We both know boundaries. We respect couples, who ask a lot of questions after marriage, like working together? You don't have to, it's just a moment when you just get married together. It's just a coincidence," he said.
"Back to the Producer and Director, maybe they have special considerations why they pair us. But we don't have to be alone," he explained.
It is undeniable that they are happy if they get the role of both. "The excitement is double the income, kidding. More time for discussion," explained Roger.
"If I play with other co-stars, the introduction time is longer. It's not enough just to read. There must be more time to approach. If you are with Roger at home, you can continue reading, his appreciation. Moreover, Roger is a very sad person reading. all marked," said Chika.
The results of the study were felt when they watched the film The Last Heaven's Door. "Yesterday when he watched the results, he said 'it should be like this'. So it's fun, it's good," he explained.
Interesting screenplay, director, and co-stars were taken into consideration when accepting an offer of acting. That's why they didn't turn down the offer of The Last Heaven's Door.
"At that time, when I was offered to read the scenario, 50% of my life was in the screenplay. When it was already broadcast, 80% happened, because my Papa wasn't there. Just like in the movie," recalled Cut Meyriska.
The presence of Indro Warkop makes Chika seem to have found her father again. While watching the movie he couldn't hold back his tears.
"Only this film can make me cry. Usually I watch it never cry because I think this is just acting, behind it there are a lot of people. But watching this film my eyes suddenly became myopic. Chika was excited, her tears kept spilling out," recalls Roger Danuarta.
"This film is related to everyone. Everyone who watches it must have felt it in the story. Mas Fajar Bustomi because he made the scenario simple but really hit it," said Chika.
