💼 A Humble First Meeting
In January 2025, Wahyu, a 28-year-old graphic designer, met Riski, a known intelligent and reserved copywriter, on a company branding project. Their interactions in the meeting room were limited to work matters, full of propriety and professionalism. Unbeknownst to Wahyu, Riski had actually seen Wahyu's design work at a national competition two years prior and admired his talent. However, true to her principles, Riski kept her distance and focused solely on the task, avoiding unnecessary interaction.

💞 Seeds of Love Through Trials
Entering February 2025, their project faced a crisis: the client rejected the initial concept and threatened to cancel the contract. Amidst the pressure, Riski came forward with a creative solution that saved the project, impressing Wahyu with her calmness and intelligence. Secretly, Wahyu began to notice Riski more deeply, especially through her social media posts filled with faith and patience. Feeling a shared vision, Wahyu performed Istikharah prayer and decided to begin Taaruf (Islamic courtship). He contacted a trusted ustaz as a mediator. A surprise came when Riski admitted that she too had long noticed Wahyu, but restrained herself until there was a clear intention — a confession that warmed Wahyu's heart.

💍 Steps Toward Allah's Blessing
The Taaruf process was filled with sincerity, with a mentor ensuring every step followed Islamic guidelines. Wahyu and Riski were open about their dreams of building a family blessed by Allah. However, a test came: Riski's family had doubts due to Wahyu's modest economic background. This is where the plot twist unfolded — Wahyu presented a social-enterprise plan based on art that he had been quietly developing, showing his vision to benefit the community. The presentation softened the hearts of Riski's family. In March 2025, after Istikharah and receiving family blessings, Wahyu proposed to Riski in a simple yet meaningful ceremony. With sincere intentions, they step toward marriage, confident that Allah has beautifully woven their story.
