We first crossed paths during high school orientation in 2011 when Tika began her journey at Kusuma Bangsa High School. After getting to know each other for a while, we made the decision to start dating on August 12, 2011. And so, our incredible journey together began…
Our relationship flourished until Kevinly had to leave Palembang to pursue his studies in Depok. We embarked on our Palembang-Depok long-distance relationship in July 2012, nearly a year after we started dating. The challenges increased in 2014 when Tika had to move to Taiwan for her studies, further testing our bond. The ultimate test came in 2016 when Kevinly moved to The Netherlands for his master’s, placing us in different time zones. Over the course of 6.5 years in a long-distance relationship, we encountered numerous challenges until we finally reunited in Singapore in 2019.
