We started as two strangers brought together by a mutual friend, never knowing that a simple introduction would lead us to a life we’d choose to share. From falling in love to leaving the familiar behind, we found our way to Haveleste—where a new beginning became more than a place to call home; it became a future we could build together.



From ordinary days, to an extraordinary love.

The story of Mahendra Banyu Ardiansyah and Gauri Almeera began at a prestigious university in Coergia, where they pursued different fields of study. Banyu was an Architecture student with a strong interest in art and design, while Gauri majored in Economics, hoping to build a promising future through her education and career. Although they belonged to different faculties, a campus event brought them together for the first time. Back then, they were simply two students who had no idea that this ordinary encounter would eventually become an important part of their lives.Their first meeting was nothing out of the ordinary, beginning with a casual conversation that somehow left a lasting impression on both of them. Banyu, known for being friendly and sociable, had no trouble striking up a conversation, while Gauri welcomed him with her calm and approachable nature. After that initial introduction, they began running into each other around campus, whether at the library, the cafeteria, or along the hallways. Brief greetings gradually turned into longer conversations, and before they knew it, spending time together between classes had become a familiar part of their daily routines.As time went by, their relationship grew from a simple acquaintance into a close friendship.
