Martunis was once in the world spotlight after his story of saving himself from the 2004 Aceh tsunami. Armed with a fake Portugal jersey, Martunis even managed to attract the attention of mega football star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo gave full attention to Martunis who lost his mother and two siblings in the disaster. As Ronaldo's adopted son, Martunis got a great opportunity to learn football at Sporting Academy Lisbon in 2015.
However, despite having a golden opportunity, Martunis chose to return to Aceh and live a simple life in his hometown. Martunis' life is now far from the spotlight of the football world.
The young man from Aceh is even known to have married young. What does his portrait look like? Here is a summary from Instagram @martunis_ronaldo, Thursday (11/21).
