During Ramadan 2025, our story began with a photograph on Putri’s Instagram Story. A moment of curiosity led to an introduction, and soon, we were no longer strangers. Our first meeting at String was quiet. There was still so much we didn’t know about each other, and neither of us could have imagined how familiar we would become. Then the conversations grew easier. Little by little, there was always another story to tell, another reason to stay a little longer.

We took spontaneous drives, wandered into the woods, and celebrated birthdays just five days apart. Somewhere along the way, we learned each other’s habits and found comfort in the quiet. Being together became something we looked forward to, even when we had nothing planned. Now, as we prepare to marry, we think of the ordinary days ahead.

More conversations across the table. More small discoveries. More evenings when neither of us is quite ready for the day to end. And to Putri, thank you for introducing us. Neither of us knew what was beginning that day. We are so grateful it did.
