JAKARTA - Actress and celebrity Erika Carlina is now enjoying her role as a mother to her only son, Endu. In the midst of her struggle as a single parent, Erika spoke about how she would explain the figure of a father to her child in the future.
Erika admitted that she did not feel burdened to proactively tell the background of their family. For him, honesty in the current information age is much easier for anyone to access, including his children.
"I guess if that's the case, I won't get to Endu. Endu's age, Endu will... I won't say how it is," said Erika Carlina in the Jakarta area, not long ago.
The film's actor, Srimulat: Hil yang Mustahal, believes that as he gets older, Endu will find his own truth through technology. Erika assessed that the digital footprint she left behind so far was enough to answer her son's curiosity.
"When Endu is big, he will find out for himself how the process is, how the story is like that. If he asks, maybe I will just answer. If he thinks the answer is still incomplete, yes, everything has a digital footprint," he said.
Even though she raised her children without the presence of a husband, Erika emphasized that she never felt like she was fighting alone. She felt very helped by the presence of her family and a very solid circle of friends.
Names such as Rachel Vennya, Fuji, to Reza Arap are mentioned by Erika as people who give overflowing affection to their children.
"It just so happens that I also helped a lot, there are my family, there are my friends, there is Rachel, there is Fuji, there is Bravy, there are friends of Marapton, there is Reza Arap. It's like I don't really care about it because I'm too alone, not too," explained the woman who was born in Cilacap.
When asked about plans to find a new partner or build a household again, Erika seemed reluctant to commit. For now, her main priority is her and Endu's happiness.
"I just continue to live. I'm more focused like this. Whoever wants to love Endu, it's okay. Who wants to hate Endu or I can too. So I just have to focus on myself now," he concluded.
Erika chose to close the past chapter and focus on providing the best environment for Endu's growth, while still letting fate take its course.
