If you haven't seen the boy in sunglasses dancing on the bow of a boat in 2025, congratulations, you probably live offline. That's a pity. Because he is Rayyan Arkan Dikha, an 11-year-old schoolboy from Indonesia, who has become the symbol of what we now call a 'pure aura.'
Rayyan Arkan Dikha, an 11-year-old boy from the province of Riau on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, did not seek fame. He was simply playing his usual role at the traditional Pacu Jalur festival — standing on the bow of a racing boat and dancing, as he always did. Despite the boat's speed and the noise of the water, Dikha remained completely calm.
In dark glasses and traditional clothing, he performed confident, fluid movements: rhythmically moving his arms and spinning his palms in a characteristic manner. His expression? Pure zen. Balance? Like a wushu master.
Someone recorded his dance and posted it on TikTok. And it took off.
The video of his dance went viral instantly. People didn't just watch it over and over again — they started copying his moves, adding music, initiating challenges, and making parodies. Thus, a new trendy phrase emerged: 'aura farming.' That's when you look cool not because you try, but because you just exude confidence. Effortless aura.
Even celebrities couldn't resist. Travis Kelce, Alex Albon, PSG players, Jungkook from BTS — all replicated Dikha's dance. In the comments under the video, people wrote:
"Bro is annihilating opponents while aura farming — that's beyond limits."
"He's the Reaper. Because he never loses." And now that's his nickname — The Reaper.
Dikha himself is amazed. In an interview, he modestly says he came up with the moves himself and that it was all spontaneous. He also admits he never learned to dance — he just practiced with his father, who participates in boat races. At first, he says, it was scary: the slippery bow of the boat, the strong current, a couple of times he fell into the river. But he learned to hold on. And he could swim before.
Off-camera, Dikha remains a simple kid with big dreams. When asked about the future, his answer brought smiles to many:
"In the future, I want to continue doing this. My dream is to become a military officer, and if possible — a governor too," he said hopefully.
Meanwhile, Riau Governor Abdul Wahid praised Dikha's dedication and called him proof that Riau culture still lives in the hearts of the younger generation.
His story transcended the village — now the entire country is watching. A trip to Jakarta, meetings with ministers, an appearance on national television — all this has become part of his new reality.
On the streets, he is recognized, and on Instagram — tens of thousands of followers. And he remains the same: humbly smiling and saying, "Friends say, 'You've gone viral.'"
And he gives advice to those who want to be like him: "Stay healthy, friends — and then everything will work out."
This is a story about how confidence, tradition, and a bit of spontaneity — coupled with the right track — can turn an ordinary boy into a symbol of the times. It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from — if you have your aura, the world will notice you.
