JAKARTA - Behind the sweet moment of meeting with Ressa Rizky, Denada had to fight hard against the psychological burden and guilt that had haunted him for years.
"This woman is a single mother, she covers everything. Work is disrupted, her mind is really affected. The guilt in the past is what makes her so heavy to go through this," said Risna Ories in the South Tangerang area, not long ago.
Denada even considers this netizen's blasphemy and trial as a form of atonement in the world.
"He said, 'Hopefully this will ease my account later'. The most difficult thing is to be accountable for this in front of God later," said Risna, imitating Denada's words.
Denada even had to seek professional help to be able to survive, because of her mental condition which had dropped.
"Of course he was really mentally ill, especially because he had a great sense of guilt. Until I also asked my friends to talk to him to release," he explained.
Denada also took a bold step to tell her little daughter, Aisha, about Ressa's existence.
"As soon as the first video went up, Dena went straight to Singapore. He approached Aisha because he didn't want Aisha to know from other people," said Risna.
However, the delivery of sensitive information was not done carelessly but through expert guidance.
"He consulted with a psychologist on how to convey it to Aisha because it's not easy. He followed the procedures given by the psychologist," he added.
Denada is very careful to take care of Aisha's growth and development so that it is not disturbed by this family news.
"What is it for, the child's growth and development must be thought about and taken care of as well. So all the steps are followed," said Risna.
The plan is, in the near future, Denada wants to bring the two children together.
"Dena plans to celebrate Eid in Singapore because Aisha is there. He also invited Ressa to Singapore when he usually does, because he wants to meet Ressa with Aisha," he said.
Even though Ressa had planned to celebrate Eid in Banyuwangi, communication between them remained very good, even involving Rezza's foster mother.
"Yesterday, a video call with Aunt Ratih (Ressa's foster mother) was over after the meeting. Ressa video call, continued to chat with Dena," said Risna.
Denada is also committed to helping Reasa realize her dreams that had been delayed.
"Ressa has many dreams, Insyaallah together with Dena can realize those dreams. Dena is fully supportive," he said.
