Guys, ada cerita yang menurut gue sangat manusiawi dan sangat touching dari podcast Nikita Willy dan Indra Priawan dan ini bukan drama, bukan kontroversi, tapi sesuatu yang jauh lebih dalam dari itu.
Dua pertanyaan yang paling banyak ditanyakan orang tentang Niki:
Kenapa dia tiba-tiba menghilang dari TV?
Dan kenapa sekarang berhijab?
Jawabannya ternyata saling terhubung dan dimulai dari satu momen yang sangat sederhana tapi sangat menghantam.
Soal menghilang dari TV dan ini lebih personal dari yang lo bayangkan:
Niki terakhir syuting sebelum hamil Isa.
Setelah itu prioritasnya bergeser.
Bukan karena dilarang suami.
Indra tidak pernah melarang.
Bahkan tidak pernah minta.
Tapi Niki sendiri yang sadar bahwa sebelum menikah Indra sering datang ke event sendirian.
Makan malam sendiri.
Karena istrinya selalu syuting.
"Kasihan banget.
Masa udah nikah pun dia tetap harus sendiri."
Kalimat itu sederhana.
Tapi bagi Niki itu menjadi keputusan yang dia buat sendiri, dengan kesadarannya sendiri bukan karena tekanan siapapun.
Soal hijab dan ini yang paling menghantam gue:
Niki mengaku prosesnya panjang.
Belum bisa cerita semua.
Tapi ada satu momen yang dia ceritakan dan menurut gue ini adalah cerita parenting paling touching yang pernah gue dengar tahun ini.
Saat Niki pulang dari umrah guru ngaji Isa, anaknya yang baru 4 tahun, menyerahkan sebuah hadiah.
Guru itu bercerita:
waktu mau kasih Isa hadiah karena ngajinya bagus, Isa ditanya mau hadiah apa.
Jawaban Isa: "Mau beli kerudung buat Ibu."
Guru ngajinya yang membelikan.
Dan menyerahkannya kepada Niki saat pulang umrah.
"Wow. Ini apakah harus benar-benar memakai kerudung?"
Itu reaksi Niki.
Dan itu salah satu pemicunya.
Yang paling dalam dari seluruh cerita ini:
Niki dan Indra tidak pernah secara eksplisit mengajarkan Isa tentang hijab atau aurat dengan cara yang formal.
Mereka hanya selalu menutup bagian pribadi Isa saat mandi dan mengatakan itu private parts, tidak boleh terlihat orang.
Dari kebiasaan kecil itu Isa tumbuh dengan pemahaman sendiri.
Sampai suatu hari waktu Niki pakai baju yang agak terbuka, Isa bilang: "Harusnya pakai baju enggak kayak gitu. Itu privacy."
Anak 3,5 tahun.
Tidak diajarkan secara eksplisit.
Tapi menangkap esensinya sendiri.
Dan dari sanalah Niki mulai berpikir lebih serius.
Satu kalimat Indra yang paling gue pegang:
"Kalau misalnya anak itu sudah cinta sama sosok figur bapak dan ibunya apapun yang dilakukan orang tuanya pasti akan ditiru.
Tapi kalau deep inside anak itu enggak suka sama sosok figur orang tuanya apapun yang diajarkan tidak akan didengar."
Ini bukan soal agama saja.
Ini soal parenting secara universal.
Anak tidak butuh orang tua yang paling sempurna. Anak butuh orang tua yang dia cintai dan kagumi.
Dan kecintaan itu dibangun bukan dengan ceramah tapi dengan kehadiran, dengan contoh, dengan waktu.
Nikita Willy menghilang dari TV bukan karena dilarang. Dia memilih.
Dan berhijab bukan karena dipaksa suami. Dia dipicu oleh anaknya sendiri yang usianya belum genap 4 tahun.
Kadang perubahan terbesar dalam hidup seseorang tidak datang dari ceramah panjang atau tekanan eksternal.
Tapi dari satu momen kecil yang tiba-tiba menghantam jauh lebih dalam dari apapun.
Sebuah kerudung yang dibeli seorang anak kecil untuk ibunya adalah salah satu momen seperti itu.
Punch didn’t recognize his dad after the fresh haircut 😂 💇
They just stood there staring at each other for a second, then Punch suddenly realized… Wait, that’s Daddy ♥️🤗
Now I understand why the other monkeys get annoyed with him — his charm is just too strong🫶
Without even trying, Punch ends up being the center of attention. 🐒🧡
Videos claiming baby macaque "Punch-kun" at Ichikawa City Zoo is being "bullied" are spreading widely, but according to keepers who spoke directly with visitors:
- This isn't abuse—it's normal Japanese macaque hierarchy and social learning. Sub-adults get "disciplined" (shaken, dragged, etc.) as they learn boundaries and respect; it's common in monkey society and helps them grow stronger.
- Punch is mentally tough, has fast escape skills, and is steadily becoming recognized by the troop (a positive sign—he wouldn't stay if truly terrified).
- Keepers adore him and praise his resilience; they're watching closely and see this as a natural growth phase in a strict hierarchy. They view it smilingly as he learns the rules.
However, human reactions are adding unnecessary stress:
- Yelling, screaming, or getting overly excited when seeing these moments creates real tension for the whole troop—including Punch—and can actually increase aggression toward him.
- Uninformed calls to "isolate Punch" ignore reality: separating him now would prevent him from ever fully integrating into the group, which is the goal for his long-term well-being as a wild macaque.
Please:
- Watch quietly and calmly.
- Stop judging through human eyes ("poor thing" = instant emotional reaction).
- If you truly want to protect Punch, follow the zoo's instructions and guidance.
- No loud noises or disruptions at the enclosure—it's stressful for the animals and staff.
Punch is doing well and growing. Let's support him the right way: with respect for natural monkey behavior and trust in the professionals. 🐒

Iran disanksi ekonomi brutal, berkali-kali diajak runding, berkali-kali Iran sepakat, tapi berkali-kali dikhianati.
Iran kemarin masih mau negosiasi, udah saling sepakat, Israel tiba-tiba ngebom.
Kayak gini lu pada masih belain zionis anjir goblok banget punten.
Imagine if Iran bombed Washington and killed Trump or bombed Tel Aviv and killed Netanyahu, what would you call it? Terrorists.
The U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran and killed its head of state. Why do you call it "Peace"?
Killing head of states prohibited under international law.
Imagine if Iran bombed Washington and killed students in schools, what would you call it? Terrorists
The U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran and killed students in schools. Why do you call it a "pre-emptive strike"?
Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law
From Otome to little Punch 💕
A Story of Resilience at Ichikawa City Zoo
Before little puch it was In 2016, a tiny Japanese macaque named Otome was rejected by her mother shortly after birth She was fraqile.
But the keepers stepped in with love & a soft plush toy for comfort.
Every time I see Punch,
my heart always feels a little warmer.
Curious about Punch,
I looked into past cases of artificial hand-rearing
that were carried out at Ichikawa City Zoo and Botanical Garden
and put the information together.
So far, the zoo has conducted
a total of six cases of artificial hand-rearing.
Punch is the sixth case.
As for using a stuffed toy,
the last example was Otome-chan—
which makes Punch the second.
Who was Otome-chan?
She was a female Japanese macaque born in 2008
who was abandoned by her mother
and was given the name “Otome.”
At the time, she was also hand-reared,
with a Rilakkuma plush toy
serving as a “surrogate parent.”
After the hand-rearing period,
Otome returned to the troop
while still holding onto the plush toy,
and gradually began interacting with the other monkeys.
This process is known as a successful case,
as Otome was ultimately accepted into the troop.
Apparently, she’s now a grandmother.
Baby monkeys that are hand-reared
can sometimes communicate in ways
that feel unnatural to other monkeys,
so returning them to the troop
is not an easy task.
During reintegration,
they may be bullied or chased away,
so keepers have to watch closely
and help them get used to the troop little by little—
a process that comes with real challenges.
Even for humans,
new places can be scary.
A new job,
a new school,
a new town—
even adults can feel truly lonely.
When that happens,
I want to remember Punch:
clutching his stuffed toy tightly,
yet still taking steps toward the troop.
Even if things don’t go well,
even if he gets scolded or chased away,
he still takes another step,
and then another.
I think this might be the first time in my life
I’ve ever rooted this hard for such a tiny baby monkey, lol. 🐒💛
Look at our brave little Punch-kun standing up like a real champ today 🐒
When a bully monkey came charging at him first, our baby got scared and instantly ran straight back to his plushie mom for safety — just like any normal kid running to mommy when things get tough! 🥺
But then... something magical happened. With his plushie mom right by his side giving him all the comfort and courage, Punch turned around, faced the bully head-on, and actually took him on! He fought back with all his tiny heart — so fierce, so adorable! In the end, after standing his ground like a little hero, he snuggled right back up with his plushie mom for the sweetest victory nap. Sleep tight, little warrior — you did amazing! 🐒
