The love between Harimurti Buntaran and Renna Eliana Warjoto (pictured above) is still young and fresh. She arrived in The Netherlands on January 24th, he picked her up from the airport. They didn’t know each other, but as they are both from Indonesia, he volunteered to fetch her. And with a home-cooked meal he sealed the deal. ‘I was hungry’, reminisces Harimurti. ‘So I bought groceries and went to her place to make supper.’ He shared it with Renna and that’s how he stole her heart. ‘I didn’t mean to impress her’, speaks Harimurti, the smooth operator. ‘Well, I can’t cook’, explains Renna.
