COMEDIAN Shuib Sepahtu (pic), who lost his wife to Covid-19 in 2021, has opened up about his relationship with an entrepreneur, Kosmo! reported.
“There’s always a reason when a person enters our life. It would be a crying shame not to appreciate them. I’m so comfortable with Watie because she is kind and loving. She is loving, patient, trustworthy and accepts me as I am,” he said, referring to Watie Hanifia.
“Sarah had those qualities before. That’s what makes Watie lovely. If there’s ever a time when we’re sick, is there someone who is able to care for us? All the luxuries in the world wouldn’t mean a thing without a partner who loves us,” he said.
Shuib’s wife, singer Siti Sarah Raissuddin, died in August 2021 at the age of 36 following Covid-19 complications shortly after giving birth to their fourth child.
Shuib, 38, said Siti Sarah still had a special place in his heart.
“There hasn’t been a day that I haven’t thought of her,” he said.
He also said Watie was open about him talking about his late wife but her only request was that he did not make comparisons between them.
Shuib is also confident that Watie can take good care of his children.
