The video of the father meeting with his son, who has not seen him for a long time, has gone viral on social media.
This is known from the upload of the TikTok account @edgar_siriantono, Wednesday, August 12, 2020.
The video shows a father waiting for his child in front of the house.
The man in the gray shirt has not been home for a long time, working as a sailor.
A small child was seen running out of the house, and immediately hugged his father while crying.
The moment of emotion of meeting the father and son, has been watched as much as 1.2 million times.
“My friend came home sailing after almost a year,” wrote the uploader.
The sailor who met his daughter was known as Muhammad Yusuf.
He returned home to meet his family who live in Semarang, Central Java, on Wednesday, July 8, 2020.
When contacted, Yusuf admitted to undergoing quarantine in Jakarta before returning home.
The man usually sails to China, South Korea and Japan.
So, even Yusuf could not go home immediately after arriving in Indonesia.
“The last time I sailed in China, continued to stop by Hong Kong.”
“July 3-7, 2020, waiting for the PCR results, then returned to Semarang,” he said
Yusuf then tried to clarify the question of the video description which stated that he had not been home for almost a year.
“Actually, it didn’t take me a year, I didn’t upload the video and it’s only for family consumption.
His grandmother who is in Bengkulu wants to see my child’s expression, “he said.
He admitted that he had not seen him for seven months with his 3 years and 9 months old daughter.
His return to Indonesia was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Before being uploaded by his friend who is also a sailor, Yusuf uploaded the moment of emotion to his Instagram account @ yusufdeckoff.
