It began on WhatsApp in early 2023, when Isaac was still in 9th grade — the day of the headmaster competition. A small chat, a name he had not known before. Then months of silence that almost ended it. But we came back. And we are still here.
It started on WhatsApp, on an ordinary afternoon in the second semester of 9th grade — right after the headmaster competition. I did not know her name. I almost did not open the chat. But I did. And that single “halo” changed everything.
We talked often on WhatsApp, but in person we were both shy and rarely met at school. One afternoon, I walked her home from a street near our school. That short walk changed everything.
Setelah beberapa bulan tanpa kontak, kita kembali mengobrol singkat — hanya sekadar menanyakan kabar, tapi cukup untuk mengingatkan kita bahwa perasaan itu masih ada.
After months apart, we finally met again. That was the beginning of our relationship — the day we chose to be official.
On her 17th birthday I had no money to give her a gift. My parents bought her a cheesecake, and she loved it. A few days later, the shoes she chose became a gift from my parents.
This website is a quiet place to gather everything we have made — so we never forget what it feels like to be us. From a WhatsApp chat in 9th grade to the love we chose to keep.
Saat itu malam, ada sebuah notifikasi di WA ku dari nomor yang tidak dikenal. Dia menanyakan apakah ini Isaac? Dengan kata-katanya yang lucu, aku menjawab iya dan aku juga bertanya ini siapa. Dia menjawab yaitu dirinya pasanganku yang sekarang, Vivin.
Saat itu selesai kita pulang bermain dari taman, aku mengantarnya pulang. Tidak tahu apa yang terjadi dari situ, topik pembicaraan kita melalui chat mulai memudar dan lama kelamaan kita lost kontak.
A few months of distance followed. The silence was heavy, but the connection did not disappear. When they spoke again, it was brief and tender — a reminder that something real was still there, waiting quietly beneath the surface.
On 10 June 2024 they met again. There was a certainty in the way they looked at each other. That day became the first page of the chapter where they decided to keep each other, quietly and truly.
This page is the place where every moment is stored. The messages, the walks, the quiet days — all kept together in one space so the story can always be read like a set of chapters, gentle and complete.
In 2024 we met again after a long time. We often went to her house, then walked around without any direction, snacking here and there. We spent almost every day together. Sometimes we had fights and sulked at each other, but once we calmed down, we apologized to each other.
There was also a time when we were sulking on the motorbike. We kept silent, and because of that I rode it without thinking about others and put everyone in danger. I was really annoyed and could not hold my emotions, but I chose to stay silent, even though I was riding like a madman.
Then, on her 17th birthday, 26 June 2025, I went to her house. That was when I felt I could not give her anything, because I did not have any money yet. Luckily, my parents bought her a birthday cake, even though it was only a cheesecake. She loved that gift.
A few days later, my parents took us to the mall so I could buy shoes, since I was going to do my internship (PKL). I chose the shoes, and that was also her suggestion. While I was trying them on, she was looking at women's shoes too, it seemed she wanted some. My mom quietly asked me to find out which shoes she liked most. So I asked her whether there were any shoes she liked or found cute. She showed me with great enthusiasm, even though she did not seem to be asking me to buy them for her. I happily asked, You really like shoes like this, huh? and she said yes.
I left her to look around again, then went to my mom and told her that she liked shoes like that. My mom said, oh alright, take them, we will buy them as her birthday gift. I ran straight to her and said, alright, you want the ones from before, just take them, you can pay later. She was surprised and said, huh? No, that is too expensive, the money will run out, I did not ask for it. I said, come on, take them, you said you liked them. She was surprised and resigned, okay then, thank you. I replied, do not thank me, thank my mom and dad, they are the ones who planned this.
She suddenly fell silent and turned away right away, refusing to look at me. I was surprised why she suddenly did that. But after I came closer and held her hand, tears fell from her eyes. I know it might be the first time she has ever been given a gift, and I know this is something very special to her. I am happy she could feel this. I only want one thing: for her to be happy. I want to make sure she will keep being happy for as long as she still trusts me and I still trust her. Our road may not always be smooth, but at least we will get through it together.
A life worth remembering is a life worth paying attention to.
We do not rush. The best parts of us take time to arrive — and we want to be there when they do.
We would rather tell each other one hard truth than share a hundred polite lies with the world.
The best photographs of us are the ones taken when we forgot anyone was watching.
