Brilio.net - Andrew Andika was arrested by the police in connection with a drug case at his residence in the Bogor area, West Java on Thursday (26/9). The police managed to secure six suspects in two different locations. Andrew was arrested along with five of his friends with the initials VA, YF, FZ, AK and BL in a house in Bogor and a hotel room in South Jakarta.
Tengku Dewi was the only family member who stepped in to help her husband's legal process. Andrew's family's less than supportive conditions forced Tengku Dewi to take on the role.
The soap opera actor finally visited Andrew after two days of detention. Their meeting was touching because Andrew seemed to be at the lowest point in his life.
The first meeting in prison was very emotional. Andrew did not expect Tengku Dewi to come to visit him.

"He immediately hugged me, just said he was sorry. He didn't expect it to be me who came into the room. He didn't expect it to be the one who helped him at that time, meaning the first person he met was me," said Tengku Dewi with tears in his eyes, quoted by brilio.net from Pagi-Pagi Ambyar, Sunday (6/10).
Tengku Dewi was even more surprised to see her husband's reaction, because Andrew seemed to have resigned himself to the situation.
Andrew's deteriorating condition made Tengku Dewi feel sorry. His appearance was very different from usual.
"He even said, 'How come you're here?', because maybe he thought (I) would never want to know again. He had given up," he explained.
Andrew's condition in detention broke Tengku Dewi's heart. Her husband looked very concerned.
"His position when I entered the room, he was curled up lying down. I really felt sorry for him. I've never seen him like that," she said while crying.

Tengku Dewi felt confused about the situation she was facing. She wanted to help but felt there was nothing she could do.
Andrew's complex family situation was a consideration for Tengku Dewi. She felt she had to take responsibility because of Andrew's family situation.
"For the police, they also don't open communication with people who they think are not relevant. Not his family, not whoever. So I thought, this is his mother being sick, like I said. Then he has one older brother, a male brother, he also has mental problems, he is depressed," he explained.
The woman who works as a model admitted to helping her husband even in the middle of the divorce process because he is the father of her children. She feels she has that responsibility to help Andrew.
Tengku Dewi waited two days before she could visit Andrew. She was only able to meet her husband on Saturday night.
"During Thursday, I just met him on Saturday night. I didn't (meet him) for two days," he concluded.
