JAKARTA - The public was shocked by the news that Ressa Rizky Rosano was cold-hearted by only replying to Denada's WhatsApp message briefly. However, behind the "Waalaikumsalam" reply, there is an incredible trauma and awkwardness.
Ressa admitted that she was afraid and confused about what to do when she was suddenly contacted by Denada. The old wound from the rejection in the past apparently had not healed properly, so she was afraid that the same disappointment would happen again.
"Yes... yes, it's back, Kak. It's awkward. If you meet directly, it's different," said Ressa in South Jakarta, Thursday, February 12.
Ronald Armada, as a lawyer and the figure who has taken care of Ressa since she was a baby, understands his client's feelings very well. He said Ressa felt awkward because for 24 years she only knew the figure as "Mbak," not "Mom."
"The chat was very long. So there I read that there was a confusion for him to actually start again a communication that was a little intense from his son to his mother," said Ronald Armada.
"Try to feel how it feels, you guys, who are not recognized for 24 years who originally called Mbak, ujug-ujug called Ibu only through social media. How do I talk about how everything is?" he continued.
Denada's absence in person in front of Ressa made the chat communication feel bland. Ronald assessed that the confession made through social media or a notary without a physical meeting would never touch Ressa's heart.
Ressa questioned why Denada chose a digital communication path even though the two were in Jakarta. For him, if there is a sincere intention, a mother should be able to come directly to her child without having to go through intermediaries or complicated protocols.
"It's simple, it's simple like that, Kak, it means that Ressa is in Jakarta, he must know his friends, all of his friends know where Ressa is, why don't you just meet," said Ressa Rizky.
There is concern from Ressa's side that Denada's current communication efforts are only due to public pressure. Denada's boycott and professional losses are suspected to be the main driving force behind her change of attitude.
Now Ressa has decided to go with the flow and focus on her work. She hopes to be able to work with the government in the future.
