Love can make us do impossible things, to exceed our limitations, and to do the things that we thought we can’t do before.

Kris and Narita have known each other since they were in the high school in Batam, and they are in love with each other ever since. But to chase his dreams, Kris decided to continue his study in Sydney and build his dreamed life there, while Narita decided to stay in Indonesia. But it wasn’t as easy as they thought it would be. They started to feel something is missing and all become vanity when you finally achieve things you think you really wanted but having no one to share them with.

After a while, Kris finally able to prepare a beautiful place for Narita to stay, and he invited Narita to. But for Narita, it is not that easy. There are fear in moving to a new place, new country, when everything was already so settled here in Indonesia. But home is where the heart is right? When Kris did something he never did before, Narita strengthen her heart to face her biggest fear. She finally moved to Sydney to be with the love of her life.

I remember there is a quote saying “Love is not practical. It is not meant to be easy. It does not appear on command. It does not let you fall for whomever you’d like. It surfaces neither at the most opportune moment nor in the most convenient. It will pair you with someone you might never have expected. It will put you face to face with endless obstacles. But in the end, none of that will matter because it is how you overcome its obstacles that will define your love. It may not be practical, but love is ultimately the best thing that will ever happen to you”.

7 years has passed since then and everything is getting more beautiful and more amazing. The big decision that they made 7 years ago turned out to be the best that they could have ever taken. When love is the reason for everything you do, it can never go wrong. And yes, love is ultimately the best thing that has ever happened to them. And now, they are ready to make another great decision, to tie their promise to never be part from each other.

To Kris and Narita, we were so blessed to have the chance to know you both in person. It really exhilarates us to know people like you, people who are passionate, people who really have faith in love.

With Love
