In a building, the young man wearing a toga stood in the middle of the stage. Then with pride, he unfurled a large banner that was shown to his father who had passed away.
Not just a banner, there was a writing with the sentence "Becoming a bachelor is my father's wish but graduating without a father". The presence of the banner certainly gives the impression of the importance of a father's presence at the long-awaited event.

It is known in the video caption shared by his brother that his father had died when his younger brother had just entered semester 1.
" When he was in line I said, "Save the banner. Why are you bringing it to the front?" I asked, this is the content of the banner..I immediately felt really sad, it's nothing, I'm always sad when I remember that when I was in college, even when I was already working, my father still provided it. Then, when it was my little brother's turn, I had only been to college for 1 semester, but my father left me behind.
"Well, be happy up there yaaa! God willing, we will be successful and make mom happy ," the caption in the video upload, quoted by brilio.net from TikTok @salmon.sashimiii, Monday (2/9).
