JAKARTA - Even though he has been declared free and won a pretrial on the alleged rape of a high school student (ACT) in Belu Regency, NTT, Piche Kota admitted that he had not fully recovered emotionally.
The impact of the legal case that ensnared him left a deep trauma for the artist's daily life.
"Thank you Kak. I rarely go out, my daily life is probably just at home and I haven't done anything yet," said Piche Kota via Zoom, Thursday, July 16.
Piche openly admitted that he felt psychologically depressed due to the accusations that had been addressed to him.
"It's true that Abang said there was trauma for me too, so to start my activities or daily life, I might have a sense of trauma," he admitted.
The feeling of not being confident to socialize again is the main obstacle for Piche at this time.
"I need time for myself again so that I can talk to other people or so that I can be in the world of other people out there," said Piche about his mental condition.
Although he really misses his profession as a singer, Piche chooses not to rush back to the entertainment stage.
"Of course I miss what I used to do, sing, whether it's off air or on air or whatever my activities are. I definitely want to do that again," he said hopefully.
Piche also expressed his longing for the support of fans and the working atmosphere in the capital.
"Of course, we will meet fans, friends who support Piche, we miss Jakarta, of course, activities will start again in Jakarta as usual," he said.
However, he realized that his mental stability was a priority before he really returned to his full career.
"Yes, I tried because my mental trauma might not be stable or what," explained Piche honestly.
Slowly, Piche is determined to fight her fear in order to be productive again as before.
"Of course I will slowly be friends like before, as usual, I can be active again for sure," he promised to his supporters.
Piche's legal team also confirmed that the losses suffered by his client were not just material, but an attack on his reputation.
"Our client has suffered many losses. Yes, there are many examples of social media, of course, both the good name of the family, the good name of our client Piche Kota," said Cosmas Jo Oko.
The management of Star Media Nusantara also hopes that the public can give space for Piche to recover.
"We ask for the support of media friends during this process. Piche misses Jakarta and activities will start again in Jakarta as usual," he concluded.
