Brilio.net - In the tapestry of family life, the role of a father is often considered a pillar of strength and resilience. Not only as a provider of material needs, fathers also have an equally important responsibility in forming the character and emotional well-being of their children.
From teaching life values to being an example of good behavior, fathers act as protectors, educators, and loyal friends. Therefore, being a father is quite a heavy responsibility. They have to fight hard and sometimes forget their own interests in order to protect and make their family happy.
Out there, not everyone has a stable life. Not a few have to work hard, even eating is difficult. As experienced by a father in a TikTok upload @donnyrapu.
Compiled by brilio.net from the upload on Thursday (2/5), father and son were seen at a fast food restaurant. The man wearing a white patterned shirt was seen watching his daughter eat. There you can see there is only one portion of food - consisting of white rice and flour fried chicken - and drinks.
The man behind the camera tried to approach the father and son. He also asked why his father didn't order food. From the chat it was discovered that the man was with Zainuddin.

"Dad, why aren't you eating?" asked the man who owned the video.
"It's okay. It's just my child. I'm easy. What's important is my child first," said Zainuddin.
Zainuddin appears to be feeding his child. His face looked happy when he saw his daughter eating heartily. However, the man behind the camera didn't seem to have the heart to see that Zainuddin could only watch his son eat, while he didn't eat anything. Finally, he took the initiative to order a portion for Zainuddin.

While eating, Zainuddin was invited to talk about his life. Apparently, Zainuddin is a public transportation driver. However, because it was a holiday, there were few passengers and the public transportation he was driving was on strike.
"But I promised that once in a while, he (the child) would feel like eating in such a delicious place," explained Zainuddin.
Zainuddin also admitted that recently the number of public transportation services has decreased due to competition from Jaklingko transportation. In fact, her daughter, Tara, is suffering from leukemia which means she has not been to school for a month.
"The red blood cells are consuming. Leukemia," said Zainuddin.
In such a sick condition, Zainuddin insisted on providing for his child's needs and happiness. Even so, he admitted that he once didn't have a penny so that day he had to fast with his only child.
"We once fasted for several days. We had no money, four days. I didn't dare borrow it, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to pay it. I bought 1 Indomie, just to eat Tara. I didn't even have to," said Zainuddin.

Zainuddin also admitted that he didn't eat for four days to ensure that Tara and his child could still eat. At the end of the story, Zainuddin admitted that he did not want to talk too much about his life's hardships. He thought he wanted to have a more decent job so he could earn a bigger income.
"Rather than telling me how sad I am, I don't want to. I want to work. I want to be a private driver. Or I want to be told to stay at his house, the important thing is that I can take Tara with me. Because I have to think about Tara's health," stressed Zainuddin.
Hearing Zainuddin's life story, the video owner did not hesitate to take out several notes amounting to IDR 1.5 million. The man in this video said that this financial assistance came from content creator Dr. Richard. Zainuddin was a little surprised and grateful to see the financial assistance.
He couldn't hold back his emotion so he couldn't stop the tears on his cheeks. Zainuddin said, he revealed that he was also being confused by the rent he kept being charged. From there, he cried and admitted he wasn't acting.

"Salute Mr. Zainuddin. Even though his background is a public transportation driver, he wants to upgrade to become a private driver. Please appoint Mr. Zainuddin," wrote the account @biimsskii.
"I work at a fast food restaurant. Every time I see something like this at the cashier, sometimes I add ice cream or drink when my boss asks me why I gave it to you? I said this, sir, I paid for it, even though it's not much, but my parents are happy to see it. "The child is happy, it seems like he's just satisfied, sometimes he just stares at him because he's moved," wrote the account @crew_ganteng.
"The original people who cried with you gathered here, Anjir, I really respect your father, I really pray for the best for you, sir," said the account owner @lfaaaa05.
"The real first love of a girl is her father :)," said the account @ayyyymissyuuuuu.
