For students studying far away from home, coming home to see their family and enjoy the familiar sights and foods of home is a big pleasure. For Hadi Wibawa, of Medan, Indonesia, it had been three long years that he had spent in the United Kingdom without seeing his family. This called for an epic prank to see how his parents would react if he secretly appeared one day.
As Hadi explained in a video that he posted on YouTube in July 2016, “I want to see what their expressions will be when they see me all of sudden there.” But there was another thing that he was sure would make his parents do a double-take; during his time away, he had worked hard to shed a lot of weight, over 20 kilograms (approx. 44 pounds).
