Speaking to WORLD OF BUZZ, Dekna shared that she grew up and was largely raised by the elderly woman, whom she fondly calls “nenek”, from a young age.
She explained that life wasn’t always easy for nenek, who had to care for children with disabilities.
“I was raised by nenek since I was young. Life wasn’t easy for her back then. She had to care for children with disabilities, including one who was mute,” she said.
Dekna also mentioned that it has become a yearly tradition for her and her family to visit her nenek during Aidilfitri, bringing festive dishes like rendang and lemang to share with her.
“Happy Hari Raya, nenek. Even though we are of different religions, she is the only grandmother I have right now. Wishing you nothing but the best,” she wrote in her caption.
Netizens’ reactions
“This is the kind of attitude we want to see. Even if we follow different religions, we still value one another as family, the bond that brings peace to the soul.”
“A grandmother deserves love, even if our religions differ. Family ties run deep and can never be broken.”
“A grandmother is still our grandmother, even if we follow different religions. Love and respect her until the very end.”
