We first met online at the beginning of 2020 — just two strangers connected by chance in the vast digital world. What started as a simple friendship slowly grew into something deeper. Our conversations became longer, our laughter louder, and before we knew it, we had fallen for each other.

Our first meeting happened in January 2022, in Jakarta. He had traveled all the way from India just to see me — a journey made even more challenging by the COVID-19 pandemic. Before we could finally meet, he had to go through quarantine, which only made the anticipation stronger. When we finally saw each other in person for the first time, all the distance and waiting felt worth it.

But like many love stories, ours wasn’t always smooth. In the middle of 2022, we went through a rough patch and ended up parting ways for six months. It was a painful time, but it also made us realize how much we truly meant to each other. Eventually, we found our way back — stronger, more mature, and more certain about what we wanted.

Since then, our love has only grown deeper, and now we’re walking together toward a more serious and lasting future. A story that began online, tested by distance and time, continues to bloom — proof that true love can find its way, even in the most unexpected places.
