Through a social media post, Emil shared a story about furniture in his official residence that suddenly disappeared. He admitted to being shocked when he realized some of the furniture in his room was no longer in its place.
At first, Emil had no idea where the furniture had gone. He wondered if his wife, Arumi Bachsin, was into DIY projects or was really trying to save money.
"This is either an edition of my beloved wife @arumibachsin_94 who is into DIY (Do-It-Yourself) or is really into the spirit of budget efficiency, some of the furniture in the official residence suddenly disappeared from the room," he wrote in a post on Instagram @emildardak, Sunday (16/3).
After investigating, Emil finally found the missing furniture on the terrace and garage of the official residence. Arumi turned out to be repainting the furniture herself and supervising the work process directly.
"It turns out it's on the terrace and garage, being repainted by myself and supervised by @arumibachsin_94," he said.

Arumi's action of choosing to renovate her own furniture rather than buying new ones has garnered much praise from netizens. Many consider her actions as an example of efficiency and simplicity that is worth emulating.
"Wow, beautiful, thrifty, everyone's dream, smart, multi-talented, Mrs. Deputy Governor," wrote @tias__utami__ningsih in her comment.
"Masya Allah... it's worth emulating the wives of officials who like flexing," said @tyty1704.
"What Ms. Arumi did was absolutely right... without having to spend money to replace furniture... setting an example of efficiency," said @sangbayu2022.
Arumi's simple steps prove that efficiency and creativity can be applied anywhere, even in an official environment. Not only does it save the budget, but it also inspires many people to be more creative in managing existing goods.
