It's hard for me to see the actual output now because you have put a file link in a codepen source, but the most obvious thing was that you had the div for the text outside the containing div for the image. I moved it inside the text container like this:

HTML

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
     <link href="file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/templatemo_591_villa_agency/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <div style="display: flex;">
            <div class="about-us-image">
                <img class="about-image"
                src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR8eIdDmzLY1w6wIbExqOKvBLUV4gSgZn8v2g&s"
                 alt="smiling-handsome-asian-manager-with-modern-device">
                </img>
            <div class="about-us-text">
                <h2><h2 style="color: #56aeff;">Who We Are</h2>
                <p>With more than a decade of experience, we are a trusted team of business and financial planners to help you start your business or retirement in Bali, Indonesia and other islands</p>
            </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Next, I added the following CSS for about-us-text.

CSS

.about-us-text {
   position: absolute;
   top: 50%;
   left: 0;
   transform: translate(0, -50%);
   text-align: left;
   padding: 20px;
   width: 50%;
}
