Suara.com – Bimbim Slank couldn't believe that his father, Sidharta Manghurudin Soemarno, had really passed away on Monday (4/3/2024) evening. Bimbim thought that he was the victim of his father's pranks again like in 2023.
“When he first had a stroke, last year, he was unconscious. When we gave up and prayed, he woke up again,” said Bimbim Slank after his father's funeral at Karet Bivak TPU, Central Newsdelivers.com, Tuesday (5/3/2024) .
Bimbim still remembers very well how his father, who pretended to be unconscious, suddenly woke up and looked for vegetable rice cakes. When the incident occurred, they were celebrating Eid al-Adha.
“Asking like that, 'Where's the lontong?' Coincidentally, it was Eid Hajj at that time,” added the Slank drummer.
“I'm afraid I won't get lontong, because I really like lontong,” said Bimbim's wife, Reny Setiawati.
Bimbim Slank's father really likes to joke and is quite mischievous in how he goes about his day. Bimbim said that his mother, Iffet Sidharta or Mother Iffet, was the figure who was bullied most often.
“Mr Sidartha really likes to joke, his wife also likes to be pranked. She likes to prank him,” said Bimbim Slank.
This also made Bimbim Slank hope to see his father suddenly wake up again when he was declared critical before he died.
“On the day he died yesterday, it turned out that this was true. I thought he was still going to wake up again, asked for lontong,” said Bimbim Slank.
