Our love story began on an ordinary day in May 2016 at 7-Eleven Binan 2, located in Olivarez Binan, Laguna. IJ had just applied for an OJT (On-the-Job Training) position, while Arieth was already working as the Assistant Manager.
Little did we know, this seemingly regular moment would mark the beginning of a relationship that would last for years, full of twists, turns, and plenty of laughs along the way.
At first, our interactions were nothing out of the ordinary. IJ was focused on completing his OJT, learning the ropes of the job, while Arieth, being the more senior employee, oversaw the day-to-day operations. After IJ successfully completed his OJT, he stayed on as a part-timer, as the management allowed it.
It was during this period that we started spending more time around each other.
Arieth had a playful personality, and she found herself teasing IJ often. It was her way of bonding with her co-workers, especially with those she felt comfortable around. She would often bully IJ in a light-hearted manner, making jokes and poking fun at him. IJ, on the other hand, initially saw Arieth as just another colleague. In fact, he wasn’t even romantically interested in her. At that time, IJ had his eye on someone else.
As fate would have it, Arieth became the ‘bridge’ for IJ and the girl he was interested in. She knew both of them well and found herself at the center of their playful interactions. Arieth thought nothing of it, happy to be close to both of them, and even teased IJ about his feelings for the other girl. However, things didn’t work out between IJ and the other girl.
Even though IJ was no longer interested in the other girl, Arieth continued her playful bullying of IJ, completely unaware that things had begun to change. Without her realizing it, IJ had shifted his attention toward her. While Arieth was busy bridging the gap between IJ and someone else, IJ was quietly making his move. Slowly but surely, he was courting her, dropping subtle hints and being more attentive. Arieth didn’t catch on at first. She was still in ‘tease mode,’ but over time, things began to shift.
Arieth started to notice IJ’s efforts, his gentle persistence, and his growing affection for her. What began as light-hearted teasing turned into something much deeper. IJ’s charm and genuine care eventually won her over. Before long, Arieth found herself falling for him. What started as a friendship filled with jokes and playful banter slowly transformed into a romance we hadn’t seen coming.
Now, after 93 months together, we look back on our journey with fondness and humor. From that fateful day at 7-Eleven where we first met to all the teasing and playful bullying, we have built a relationship grounded in love, trust, and shared experiences. And now, we stand on the brink of a new chapter, preparing for their Big Day—OUR WEDDING.
Our story is one of unexpected love, proving that sometimes, love finds you when you’re not even looking.
It sneaks up in the quiet moments, hidden beneath laughter and playful teasing, until suddenly, it’s right there in front of you, undeniable and beautiful.
