00:00As fireworks lit up the sky to welcome 2026, Magendran Ramya grieved the loss of the woman he lovingly called
00:10Almak.
00:11His foster mother, Ramla Marov, passed away on December 31st, just months before her 101st birthday.
00:19Having already buried both his parents, losing Ramla felt like losing a mother all over again.
00:25This Mother's Day feels especially painful as he's no longer able to give her a gift as he usually does
00:33every year.
00:34They would share mornings eating roti chanai, talking about the news and enjoying each other's company.
00:41Magendran says he still feels sad to this day and that tears sometimes come unexpectedly.
00:48Although they were of different races and religions, their bond was built on kindness, trust, and love.
00:57Their story touched countless hearts after a TikTok video of them sharing a meal garnered 1.4 million views.
01:05Magendran visits her grave regularly and cherishes the lessons she taught him about humility, honesty, and sincerity.
01:13He says he feels deeply blessed to have known Oma, a sentiment he continues to hold close even in her
01:21absence.
