So Cool! This Friendship Gathering Never Gets Empty for 12 Consecutive Years, From College to Bringing a Child

Dream - One of the moments that is eagerly awaited during the month of Ramadan is to gather with relatives at the iftar event (bukber). In fact, it is not uncommon for the bukber moment to be used as a reunion and to relieve longing for old friends. Because of different busyness, sometimes the bukber moment is not always complete. However, that does not seem to apply to the friendship gang in the video on the Tiktok account @nityaputridj below.

Awesome! This Friendship Gathering for Breaking the Fast Has Never Been Empty for 12 Consecutive Years, from College to Bringing a Child

A woman shares a portrait of herself with her friends in every iftar moment for 12 consecutive years. The iftar event always appears crowded.

The video uploader has been sharing portraits since 2012 until 2024. 12 years ago, they were all still in college. One year later, there were two different photos of the people in the first portrait. The number of people seen in the photo in 2013 was also different. Only 11 to 13 people were seen attending the iftar event. In 2014, Nitya joined them, making a total of 22 people at the iftar event. However, 20 people managed to gather for iftar in 2015.

"Different from previous years, from 2016 to 2018, 18 people with the same number gathered to carry out the annual iftar agenda. Only in 2019 did the number decrease, with only 13 people attending."

Although in 2020 Indonesia was in a pandemic state, Nitya and her friends still managed to hold an online iftar gathering while playing a game titled 'Among Us'.

Even though Indonesia is still in a pandemic status, they held a face-to-face iftar event again attended by 11 people and two other friends via Zoom Meeting. The improving pandemic situation in Indonesia in 2022 made the iftar event attended by 19 people again. The annual agenda continued in 2023 with 16 people in attendance.

"In this year, they held a bukber attended by 15 people. Interestingly, the photo taken this year also includes a picture of another person who couldn't attend the annual agenda."

The consistency of Nitya and his friends in having iftar (breaking fast) every year shows their transformation since they were in college, until some of them started their own families and had children. He admitted that he gathered his close friends, totaling 20 people, to hold a buka bersama (breaking fast together) event that made his neck bulge. Nevertheless, Nitya hopes that they can continue to hold this buka bersama event every year until they grow old.

"From documenting photos using a blackberry, to using a Xiaomi GoPro, SLR, mirrorless, and even just an iPhone, it's enough. 😂 It's not easy, bro, with a group of 20 campus friends, every time we gather for events like this, our necks automatically get tired. 🧣 And it continues until we're old!" wrote the caption of the upload.

Interesting, Nitya answered the question from curious netizens whether any of the gang members have ever been in a romantic relationship. She mentioned that it happened to her friend, and two couples were able to reach the stage of marriage. However, the other three couples were not able to have the same fate and their relationships had to end. "Of course there are, haha. Two couples got married to each other. Three couples became exes. Alhamdulillah, everyone returned to being good friends," she said. Report: Nisya Aprilya.
