JAKARTA – No more laughing and togetherness, now Yasonna Laoly has to feel alone after more than 42 years with his beloved wife Elisye Widya Ketaren who has gone forever.
Through her social media page, Yasonna pours out her heart. "Thank you sweetheart for all the good times we had, sweet memories, and happiness we shared together," said Yosonna pouring her heart out on her facabook page on Saturday, June 13. Tubagus Erif Faturrahman, Head of Public Relations of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, confirmed that what was written on his Facebook wall was actually Yasonna Laoly's personal property.
"Good bye my sweet heart. We have spent more than 42 years together, full of joy and sorrow, jokes and laughter, and many other flowers of life. We raise the children together with all the dynamics, of course you have more time to take care of them than me. For that I am forever grateful," he said.
Yasonna Laoly and Elisye Widya Ketaren started everything from scratch, when they had nothing. Loyalty to one another took them far, through a long period of time. "We start from ZERO until we reach the top, then all of a sudden you leave me," he continued.
The late Elisye breathed his last on Thursday, June 2021. And two days later he was buried at Sandiego Hill, Karawang, West Java. Yasonna could not hide her sadness at the loss of her soul mate, she was devastated by this departure. “Losing it was very heavy. Fifty-one (51) days you have been battling this malignant disease in hospitals, starting from the hospital in Penang, to the Medistra Hospital in Jakarta," he said remembering his late beloved wife.
During the time that the late Elisye was being treated intensively and struggling with the disease that was eating away at her body, Yasonna was almost never absent from accompanying her even though her duties as Minister of Law and Human Rights in President Jokowi's Cabinet were no less difficult and required her attention. A few days before his wife died, he was still present at the invitation to a meeting with Commission 2 of the DPR RI to discuss the issue of punishment for insulting the president and vice president.
"Only 1 (one) day I did not accompany you to sleep in the hospital. For that I apologize. Because you said: 'If I die suddenly, you won't see me when I breathed my last,' Yasonna Laoly imitated Elisye Widya Ketaren's words which turned out to be true. He left the people he loved, his soul mate.
Your words pierce and crush my heart
Now that Elisye is there, Yasonna is still ringing with his wife's statement. "Oh God! Your words pierced and crushed my heart. When I go to work, you always ask the kids: 'Where's daddy? Call Daddy, Call Daddy..! Those are your routine questions and orders to the children," said Yasonna.
At that moment spontaneously, as an ordinary human being he responded in a joking tone. "I jokingly said: 'Tell mommy, daddy is working, daddy isn't unemployed right?" I'm sorry for the joke. It turns out that I just realized, you already have a hunch, your time to face God is not long and you want me to always be by your side for that short, very precious time.

From the bottom of my heart Yasonna would like to thank you for the togetherness that has existed for more than 42 years. "Thank you sweetheart for all the good times we had, sweet memories, and happiness we shared together," was the romantic expression he put forward.
Forgive my mistakes and mistakes
Yasonna is aware that she is not a perfect human being, there are mistakes and mistakes that she has made for her wife, either intentionally or unintentionally. So he apologized for everything.
"I apologize for all my mistakes, mistakes and other things that may disappoint you. Rest in Peace honey!!! Daddy, Isabella, Francisca, Tema, Romy and our grandchildren, Nadya, Jacob, Matthew, Hana, Nathan, and Jeremy, also daughters-in-law Julius and Stevi, we all love you more than you can imagine! Isabella, Julius and our grandchildren can only watch your funeral through zoom," he wrote.
The problem is that they cannot attend the funeral because they are quarantined in Perth, Australia. "Because Isabella can't go back to Jakarta because she's quarantined in Perth, after one month she came specifically to treat you at the hospital, and had to return to Perth. God bless you my sweetheart. Rest in peace to your Father's place in heaven.
