Riyan and Arum met in 2022 in Yogyakarta, where their story began in the simplest way. Casual conversations slowly grew into something meaningful, and in 2023 they decided to take their relationship more seriously. Even when distance separated them—Riyan in Merauke and Arum in Jakarta—they stayed connected through trust, steady support, and shared dreams for the future.

On December 25, 2024, Riyan asked for the blessing of Arum’s late father through a quiet prayer, making a sincere promise to care for her. In 2025, Riyan and his parents met Arum’s family in Solo to talk about marriage and the life they hoped to build together. Their journey reached a beautiful milestone on February 14, 2026, when love, perseverance, and faith brought them together as two hearts ready to walk side by side forever.
