Brilio.net - Some time ago, Arda surprised the public by announcing his resignation from Naff, the band that has made his name big for the past 14 years. Leaving 3 of his colleagues in Naff, Arda said that the decision to resign became stronger after he performed the hajj pilgrimage.
" His guidance made me want to separate, my heart was strengthened to separate during the Hajj in June 2024 ," wrote Arda on his Instagram page, as reported by brilio.net Friday (16/8).
After no longer being a musician, Arda now enjoys moments with his family. The owner of the name Hatna Danarda tells his activities so far, namely helping his wife with her work. Like when his wife, Tantri Kotak, is going to perform, Arda prepares everything she needs.

" At half past 2 in the morning I helped my wife unload her suitcase, she was going to a concert in Sulawesi. She kissed and hugged me goodbye, a bit awkwardly. Yes, I know she was empathetic because usually I also go out to perform on the weekends ," he explained, accompanying the upload on Instagram.
Although the decision to leave Naff had been carefully considered and he still had a side job doing business, Arda admitted that he often felt sad. Especially when he saw his wife working hard performing from city to city.
" Losing a job for a man is a very different level of sadness. Even though I have another job, another business, it still feels heartbreaking to see the wife I love as if she is fighting alone to earn money for the family ," he said.
Arda's sadness was increasingly felt when he communicated with his father. Given, his father seemed worried about Arda's economic condition after he left the band Naff. This was known when Arda shared a moment of his conversation with his father via video call.
" Lee piye, do you feel saiki? " asked the father.
" Sae (good) sir. Eh, Arda gojekne, sir, food, right?, " answered Arda.
" No..no..no!!! I refuse, save your money, meet your family's needs at school, okay? " said the father.
In fact, Arda said, the worry made his father often think about himself. When the people at home were busy taking care of the wedding, his father was more silent because he was thinking about his current condition.

" Even though next month my father wants a son-in-law, he said it's from home. How many days have you been thinking about your son who just resigned ," Arda complained.
Not wanting his father to worry more, Arda assured him that he could meet his family's needs. He was sure that sustenance would come from anywhere as long as he tried.
" Haha, Sir, don't worry, if one door is closed, a thousand other doors of fortune will be opened. Just knock in the most polite and pleasant way. The 'Host' will definitely be happy to receive guests who are easy to thank ," explained Arda.
This moment also made Arda replay the memory of when he had just gotten a job. At that time, he felt sad that he could eat delicious food while his father only ate pecel rice. However, his father said that if happiness and sadness must be enjoyed wholeheartedly. Arda said that his father's pride was seeing his son enjoying the results of his hard work.

" Le, let me tell you one thing, when you're having a hard time you can do it wholeheartedly, but why are you half-hearted when you're happy? Practice, when you're happy, you have to do it totally. Your father is old, full of experience, do you think your father can only be happy if you do this and that for your parents, isn't that right Le, enjoy the fruits of your hard work, this sense of pride is the reward that father gives you ," advised his father at that time.
