JAKARTA - In the midst of the legal lawsuits and allegations of child neglect filed by Ressa, Denada revealed evidence that he still has financial responsibility.
Denada showed that financial communication with the late Emilia Contessa continued to run intensively for Ressa's needs.
"Money for Mama, it's my worship. Money for Ressa, it's my responsibility. So if Mama has more money, Mama just save it for yourself. I will still send it to Mama even if the amount is not certain," Denada quoted from his short message to his mother as quoted by VOI from the YouTube Feni Rose Official, Monday, March 16.
Denada explained that he never missed sending school money until Ressa's college money. For him, his son's education is a priority that cannot be negotiated, even though he himself is in a difficult condition.
"Including his tuition, including his tuition money, Mama also asked me. Every time there are bills from Ressa, it is forwarded to me. All the tuition money that Mama asked for, I sent," he said while showing proof of the transfer.
In fact, when Denada had to fight to finance her daughter's treatment, Aisyah, in Singapore, she still tried to get help for Ressa. There was a crucial moment in July 2019 where Ressa needed urgent help.
"Aunt Ratih contacted me at that time, telling me that Ressa was in a situation that needed help. In fact, at that time I didn't have any money, I really didn't have any money, I was selling all my stuff," recalled Denada.
Even though Aunt Ratih had offered to consider the aid money as a loan and cut Ressa's monthly allowance, Denada refused firmly.
"I never cut it. No, it's for the child," he said briefly.
Denada's responsibilities turned out to be not only about large amounts of money such as tuition. He also took care of Ressa's daily needs, ranging from clothes to learning support equipment such as laptops.
"I asked, 'Do you really have no laptop? How sad to see you write that much?'. Then I said, 'I'll buy it, don't be expensive, just ordinary'," said Denada, imitating his conversation with Emilia Contessa.
Now, with the accusation of abandoning children, Denada can only feel sad because her efforts have not been seen. She feels that she has done what she can behind the scenes.
"I really can't be present at all moments of his life, but I do what I can. Is it enough? No, it's not enough. I should have done more than that, and that's my fault," he concluded weakly.
