Most of us have our beloved bantal busuk and struggle to part ways with it. It was the same for TikTok user Muniswaran (@muniswaranharirama), who had the bantal busuk since he was four years old, but it mysteriously disappeared one day after the family moved houses in 2020.
It was recently returned to him as a gift. His friends allegedly took the bantal busuk and waited for four years to return it to him in a hilarious manner.
His friend had encased the small bantal busuk in a clear box like it was a museum exhibit. Accompanying the bantal busuk in the case were two pictures of a young Muniswaran and a plaque commemorating the “lifespan” of the bantal busuk (1996-2019).
Muniswaran was amused and said it was a unique gift. He jokingly told a friend sitting next to him he would do the same to him for his birthday.
