Legendary singer Ikang Fawzi just celebrated his 65th birthday today, Wednesday (23/10). This increasing age is a different moment for Ikang, because his wife who usually accompanies him all the time, has now passed away. Although no longer accompanied by his beloved wife, Ikang Fawzi received sweet greetings from his two daughters Chiki and Bella Fawzi.
" Today is Dad's birthday. Saying "happy birthday" is irrelevant. Barakallah fi umrik Dad! I always pray for goodness for Dad ," wrote the caption in the upload.
Through uploads on their Instagram accounts, Chiki and Bella shared a portrait of their family together with the late Marissa Haque. Not only sharing photos, Chiki and Bella also wrote touching messages addressed to their beloved father.

This photo is one of the memories that Chiki and Bella remember when they were together, before their mother passed away. Not just a photo, Chiki remembers where her father measured her blood pressure at the dining table before dinner.

At that moment, Chiki remembered her mother's words, which gave a message for Ikang Fawzi to always be healthy. Perhaps according to her two daughters, the message conveyed by Marissa Haque became a reinforcement when she was gone.

"Dad, do you remember a few days before mom passed away, when dad was measuring his blood pressure (as dad usually did) at the dinner table, mom said while stroking dad, "Dad, hang in there...". Maybe mom meant it for times like this. Dad, hang in there... we have to hang in there and be consistent in being good people so we can be together with mom again in Allah's heaven. 🤠🌹"
