Ditya and Rifan, two high school sweethearts who are separated by distance when Rifan decides to pursue his studies in Jakarta. Despite the distance, they try to maintain their relationship, but they are faced with various challenges that ultimately...
Rifan's departure to Jakarta proved to be a challenge for their relationship. The couple struggled to maintain communication due to the distance and their respective busy schedules.
Ditya: "Hey, it's been a week since we last talked. How's everything going?"
Rifan: "It's tough, I won't lie. The classes are demanding and I barely have any free time. But I'm doing my best to keep up."
Ditya: "I understand. But we need to make time for each other, even if it's just a short call or message."
Rifan: "You're right, I'm sorry. It's just been a lot to handle. I miss you so much."
Ditya: "I miss you too. We'll get through this, together."

Despite their efforts to keep the flame alive, things started to unravel. Rifan became distant and unresponsive, leaving Ditya feeling confused and frustrated.
Ditya: "Rifan, is everything okay? You've been acting strange lately."
Rifan: "I don't know, Ditya. I feel like I'm drowning in this new environment. I don't know if I can handle a long-distance relationship on top of everything else."
Ditya: "But we promised to make this work. You can't just give up like that."
Rifan: "I'm not giving up, I'm just being realistic. Maybe we should take a break for a while, focus on our own goals and see where that leads us."
Ditya: "No, I can't do that. I love you, Rifan."
Rifan: "I love you too, but sometimes love isn't enough. We need to think about our future and what's best for us individually."
Their conversation left Ditya with a heavy heart, unsure of what the future held for their relationship.
As time went by, the distance between them began to take a toll. Ditya threw herself into her volunteer work with the Red Cross while Rifan focused on his studies and making new friends in Jakarta.
One evening, as they were on a video call, Rifan shared his doubts with Ditya.
Rifan: "I don't know, Ditya. It's just that...it feels like we're drifting apart. I don't want to lose you, but it's hard to keep this up when we're so far away from each other."
Ditya: "What are you saying, Rifan? Are you saying you want to break up?"
Rifan: "No, that's not what I mean. I just feel like...I don't know if we can keep this up. It's so hard being away from you all the time."
Ditya felt tears welling up in her eyes.
Ditya: "I know it's hard, Rifan. But I love you. I don't want to lose you."
Rifan: "Maybe we need to take a break. Figure out what we really want."
Ditya: "Okay. But promise me, we'll talk this out. We won't just let things fall apart."
Rifan: "I promise. I don't want to lose you, Ditya. You mean too much to me."
