For Someone Very Special

I made something for you.

Tap to open

Happy Birthday, Kya.

Today is all about you. I made this little corner on the web so you know how much you mean to me, and how many little things about you I've always noticed.

A Letter for Your Birthday

Dear Kya,

Happy Birthday, Rizkya. I hope today turns out to be such a wonderful day that beneran bikin kamu senyum seharian.

Looking back since we started, aku bener-bener bersyukur bisa kenal kamu this close. Dari yang awalnya cuma saling tau sampai akhirnya kita bareng, getting to hear your voice after an exhausting day, dan dipercaya buat dengerin all your random stories and curhatan. It's honestly one of the things I'm most grateful for this year.

You probably don't realize how much you meant to me during my toughest times kemarin. Pas aku lagi pusing-pusingnya with skripsi and thesis defense, you were always there. You stayed up late with me on call padahal you could've just slept earlier, dan pas tanggal 21 Juli kemarin, tiba-tiba kamu ngirimin that flower bouquet to my kos. That week felt so heavy, tapi tiap kali ngeliat bunga dari kamu di kamar, rasanya semua cape langsung kebayar. You've become such an important part of my graduation, and I'll always remember that.

I really love how you talk, selalu lembut and never harsh. Suka juga tiap kali kamu mulai bawel nyeritain all the little details of your day, getting surprise selfies from you, sampai kebiasaan kamu bilang 'I love you' sebelum tidur. Kalau semalem aja ngga denger itu dari kamu, rasanya malam beneran jadi agak sepi.

Sometimes I catch myself thinking, what if we never break up? It might sound simple, tapi itu beneran comes straight from the heart. Aku nyaman banget ada di samping kamu, and I genuinely love who I am whenever I'm with you.

For your birthday this year, my prayer for you is simple: semoga tahun ini bener-bener baik ke kamu. Semoga the start of your college life runs smoothly, seru, dan ketemu banyak hal baru that make you happy. Semoga kamu selalu sehat, surrounded by people who love you, dan makin confident with your own abilities, because you really are that amazing.

Thank you for simply being you, Kya. Makasih udah milih buat ada di sampingku. Happy Birthday, my favorite girl.

With all my love,

Haikal

Things I've Learned About You

Catatan-catatan kecil yang ngga sengaja kekumpul sejak kita bareng. You probably didn't even notice I was paying attention.

Matcha Latte Over Everything

This is your all-time favorite, tapi kamu tetep picky tergantung seenak apa matcha yang dijual.

Pisang Nugget

Kamu tu suka pisang nugget, tapi kamu lebih suka pisang nuggetnya Aryanti daripada yang satunya (lupa siapa hehe).

Roblox & Discord Hangouts

Roblox and Discord udah jadi way of life buat km hehe, not a single day without them.

Long & Thoughtful Texts

You're someone who actually takes the time to write long, thoughtful messages.

Lembut & Ngga Pernah Kasar

Even when you're sulking or having mood swings, cara km ngomong selalu lembut. Ngga pernah ada nada kasar sama sekali, dan itu salah satu hal yang paling aku kagumi dari kamu.

Capybaras, Lily & Aster

You used to like tulips, but now asters and lilies are the ones that stuck. Plus that cute obsession with chill capybaras.

Short Hair Looks So Good on You

You might have been hesitant at first, but short hair actually suits you so well. It looks so pretty and fresh on you.

Telling Your Friends About Me

Waktu tau kamu suka ceritain tentang aku ke temen-temen km, rasanya seneng banget. It quietly means a lot to me.

Little Moments

Momen-momen kecil yang sederhana justru yang paling nempel dan awet di ingatan.

The flower bouquet Kya sent Haikal on 21 July 2026
21 July 2026 • The flowers that brightened my hardest week

You turned one of my most stressful weeks into a milestone I will always remember with a smile.

The Unexpected Flower Bouquet

Right around the time I was wrestling with my thesis defense and finishing university, a surprise arrived at my kos.

Waktu itu lagi masa-masa paling tegang dan cape ngerjain skripsi. Tiba-tiba ada kiriman buket bunga dari kamu ke kos. Isinya ada mawar, daisy, seruni, sama aster. Kaget banget dan beneran terharu kamu kepikiran buat ngelakuin itu.

Bunga itu aku rawat dan taruh di kos hampir seminggu sampe akhirnya layu. More than just the flowers, hari itu made me realize kalau kamu beneran jadi bagian penting di salah satu masa terberat hidupku.

Rencana tidur awal yang gagal total

The 10 PM Plan that Turned into 3 AM

Kita awalnya udah sepakat: 'Malem ini tidur cepet jam 10 ya.' But before we knew it, jam udah nunjukkin 3 AM and we were still on call, chit chatting sampe lupa waktu.

No agenda, just you and me

Hours of Exchanging Everyday Stories

No heavy topics, no big plans needed. Just talking about random stuff all day, sampe obrolan ngalor-ngidul yang cuma make sense di kita berdua.

If We Had a Day Together...

Pick whatever feels right. No scores, no wrong answers. I just wanna see what kind of little day we’d make.

01 / our first stop: We finally get to meet. Where are we going first?
  • Museum date - okay, cultured era. I see you.
  • Hunting makanan viral - valid. eating together is serious business.
  • Somewhere with a pretty view - noted. pretty place, prettier company.
  • Honestly, just take me somewhere random - dangerous answer. now I get creative control.
02 / afternoon plans: Pick our afternoon energy.
  • Walking around until our legs hurt - very reasonable. until one of us starts complaining.
  • Photostudio 📸 - finally. photographic evidence that we actually met.
  • Cafe + ngobrol berjam-jam - we both know this can turn into a three-hour conversation.
  • Roblox somehow still ends up involved - somehow this feels extremely on-brand.
03 / something to drink: What are we drinking?
  • Matcha latte - the safest Kya answer imaginable.
  • Something random we've never tried - okay, tiny side quest.
  • Whatever you order, I'll probably copy - zero originality. very cute though.
  • We forgot because we were too busy talking - honestly, completely believable.
04 / when the sun goes down: The sun's going down. What now?
  • Night ride - this one has been living in my head for a while.
  • Movie - acceptable, as long as we don't spend 40 minutes choosing.
  • Find somewhere quiet and talk - dangerous. this is how we accidentally talk until 3 AM again.
  • Keep exploring tanpa tujuan - no destination, just vibes and questionable navigation.
05 / one thing I really want: One thing I'm definitely getting before the day ends:
  • Our first proper photo together - this one is non-negotiable actually.
  • A hug - yeah... I've been waiting for that one.
  • Another stupid story from you - please. preferably something completely unnecessary and very detailed.
  • All of the above - Correct. Wait. This game literally has no correct answers.
06 / how the night ends: How should the night end?
  • Duduk dan ngobrol sampe lupa waktu - we've already proven we're bad at ending conversations.
  • Pulang sambil planning next date - bold of you to assume I wasn't already planning it.
  • "One more place" sampe kemaleman - the classic 'last stop' that absolutely isn't the last stop.
  • I don't care, as long as I'm with you - yeah. that's kind of the whole point.

Songs That Make Me Think of You

Just songs that somehow ended up reminding me of you.

seasons

wave to earth

Somehow this one makes me think about how someone can quietly become part of a season in your life. You were there through one of the hardest and most important ones in mine, and I think that's why this song keeps finding its way back to you.

wave to earth · 0.1 flaws and all.

Enchanted

Taylor Swift

I like the feeling behind this song, realizing that someone you already knew could somehow become much more special than you ever expected.

Taylor Swift · Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)

You'll Find Lovers Like You and Me

Reality Club

This one feels different now. Not because I want to change how things ended, but because I think some people can still mean something to you even when the story doesn't go the way you hoped.

What if we didn't breakup?

Things I Still Want to Know

Even though we've shared so much already, masih banyak hal-hal kecil tentang kamu yang pengen aku denger.

  • What you were like as a little kid. Cerita konyol waktu kecil, hal-hal absurd yang pernah kamu lakuin pas SD, and what made little Kya laugh back then.
  • What you wanted to become when you were small. Cita-cita random masa kecil before the world became all complicated and realistic kaya sekarang.
  • What your college days will look like. Penasaran gimana your new routine and schedule, dan gimana kita bakal tetep nyempetin waktu buat ngobrol every day.
  • Your secret bucket list and dream destinations. Tempat-tempat yang pengen banget kamu datengin whenever you get the chance to escape for a bit dari rutinitas.

Things I Hope We Get to Do Someday

Simple little plans yang pengen banget aku lakuin bareng kamu, if we didn't breakup.

  • Play Roblox Together. Beneran main berdua di satu server and creating cute chaos together.
  • Morning Jogging or Cycling. Waking up early pas udaranya masih fresh dan sejuk, olahraga santai sambil ngobrol without any rush.
  • A Proper Photostudio Date. Taking nice photos berdua yang kita cetak fisik, biar ada foto kita yang bisa disimpan di dompet.
  • Movie Night & City Night Ride. Watching that movie, terus lanjut late-night motoran keliling kota pas jalanan udah sepi.
  • Hunting Viral Food Around Bandung. Trying out cute or viral food spots in Bandung, sambil review jujur mana yang beneran enak dan mana yang cuma gimmick.
  • Watching the Horizon at Langit Gantole. Sitting together in the late afternoon, ngeliat pemandangan lepas until the sky changes colors.
  • First Year College Survival. Hearing your ospek stories dan hari-hari pertama km di kampus, laughing over absurd assignments, and celebrating every busy week you survive.
  • Campus Study & Matcha Session. Accompanying you do some light studying di cafe deket kampus, with your favorite matcha latte to keep the stress away.
  • Finding Favorite Spots Around Campus. Scoping out the coziest cafes atau tempat makan siang di sekitar kampus baru km, so you always have a comfortable place to recharge.
