JAKARTA Do you still remember the figure of mixed singer Del Sarono who had swerved to become Inul Daratista's manager? Yes, now he is back in a solo career as a reverse painter.

Del's action of painting amazed Kasad Dudung Abdurachman and the audience at the 1988 Halal Radar at Mountain Club Golf, Dago Pakar, Bandung, last week.

"How fast do you paint it," said General Dudung Abdurachman after seeing the painting made by Del Sarono. In a reversed position, the singer of the Ayu Adine song, about 5 minutes (one song duration) managed to finish the painting of General Dudung Abdurachman's face.

Not only General Dudung, his wife, Mrs. Rahma Setyaningsih, was also amazed after seeing the painting. Because he was the one Del asked to carve the first scratch with a brush and acrylic paint on the canvas. After that Del completed it, and became General Dudung's face painting.

The unique thing about this action, Del not only painted upside down. But he while singing a song. Usually a popular song or a favorite song from the person he painted. While swaying to the rhythm of the song he will finish his painting.

"Yes, it has to be finished as long as the song is played. When asked it's difficult, it's difficult. And it's really fast. So I really have to share concentration, one side is singing while swaying, while the right hand holds the brush and paints the object in the reverse position. Yes, that's where the challenge is, I have to be able to. Regarding the results, I leave it to the audience, "said Del.

Not only as a student, Del now also holds the status of a mother of Persit alias wife of the TNI. So now she holds the same status as Annisa Pohan, Bella Saphira, Tessa Mariska, Joy Tobing, Juliana Mochtar, Mega Utami, Novita Wibowo, and several other celebrities.

How can the story be married to Brigadier General FX Giyono who is also the Director of Training Education (Diklat) of the Army Territorial Center (Pusterad). The story is unique, starting with me joining the high school WA group. Because we are both alumni of SMAN 2 Klaten of the 1985 Force," he said.

Has high school been in a relationship since high school? "Surely you want to ask whether we are CLBK (old love blossoming back) right? I was with Mas Giyono during high school, there was no such relationship. We were just friends at school," he explained.

After high school, one joined a career as a entertainer and the other continued his studies at AKABRI class 1988. "It's really different from each other," said Del, who was a majoret when he was in high school.

After Del was included in the WA group alumni of SMAN 2 Klaten, 1985, he returned to communicate with his school friends including Giyono. "When in the WA group, it's normal. But we are intensely communicating with each other through private channels. From there I know that his wife has died in 2021 due to illness. From her previous marriage, she was blessed with two adult children," he said.

Long story short, they are dating. After dating for a year, Del and Giyono are determined to get married. "Mas Giyono and I got married on March 17, 2023," he said while hoping for his marriage to last.

One thing that makes Del proud. Her husband still gives space to have a career as a entertainer. "It's just me who has to know myself. Now I'm a mother. In clothes, I have to adjust and even show venues, I have to choose which one really fits. So I don't think too, the important thing is that I can still express myself," he said.
