Almira Tunggadewi Yudhoyono, the eldest daughter of Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono and Annisa Pohan, has taken on a protective, hands-on role following the birth of her new baby brother, Arjuna Hanyokrokusumo Yudhoyono. Annisa Pohan revealed that the significant age gap between the siblings has sparked a strong maternal instinct in Aira, who frequently oversees the infant’s daily care and needs.
Sibling Dynamics and Protective Care
The arrival of Arjuna Hanyokrokusumo Yudhoyono has shifted daily family routines, offering an immediate energy boost to his older sister after her long days away from home. Annisa Pohan shared that Aira’s enthusiasm is palpable whenever she interacts with the newborn, completely washing away her physical fatigue.
“Kakaknya itu happy banget. Kalau ngelihat adiknya tuh selalu langsung energinya langsung kayak apa ya, tadinya capek gitu ya, kalau ngelihat adiknya langsung happy,” Annisa Pohan said during a media appearance in the Senayan area of Central Jakarta.
That high energy often translates into an overwhelming amount of affection. According to Annisa Pohan, Aira regularly kisses the baby to the point where the infant simply accepts the intense outpouring of love.
“Terus adiknya suka dianiaya dengan dicium ya. Diciumnya tuh benar-benar sampai adiknya pasrah saja, tapi dicium-cium. Jadi happy banget,” Annisa Pohan explained.
Stepping Into a Maternal Role Due to Age Gap
Because the siblings are separated by more than a decade, Aira treats the baby less like a typical playmate and more like a dependent. Annisa Pohan noted that her daughter’s oversight resembles that of a second mother or a young aunt, characterized by frequent instructions on how the baby should be handled.
“Banyak atur sih sebenarnya si Kakak, karena kan beda jauh ya. Jadi betul kayak apa ya, kayak keponakan, kayak ibu kedua ya. Jadi banyak ngatur. Nanti adik harusnya gini, adik harusnya gini,” Annisa Pohan stated.
Far from finding the bossy behavior intrusive, Annisa Pohan welcomes the extra support. Having an older child deeply invested in the infant’s development eases the day-to-day parenting load at home.
“Jadi saya senang sendiri. Dalam artian ada yang bisa bantuin saya ikut mikir, soalnya,” she added.
Remarkable Family Resemblance
Beyond behavioral dynamics, the physical similarities between the siblings have caught the family’s attention. Annisa Pohan observed that Arjuna’s facial features strongly mirror Aira’s appearance when she was an infant.
“Tapi lebih mirip kakaknya sih. Paling mirip sama Aira. Jadi kayak Aira lahir kembali dalam versi laki-laki,” Annisa Pohan concluded.
