Ver & Marnie

Our Story

The Angel's Story

The Angel's Story

On my 2nd day at my 1st job after college, my batchmates and I were scheduled to have a side-by-side with the regulars on the job. Our trainor was randomly (or so I thought) picking out our partners for us and as we were walking down the aisles, this guy happened to look over his shoulder and, surprisingly, I was assigned to him. Yes, that guy was Ver.

We hit it off from the start, me always being one of the boys, and him, being (not one of the girls! more of LIKING the girls--haha!) an unabashed extrovert. We talked about a lot of stuff, work-related and not -- I even remember him asking me for suggestions on where to take his then-girlfriend for dinner ("Dinner lang 'to ha, hindi date.." was his comment when I mentioned semi-high-end restos) -- and from that day on, became fast friends.

On the day Marnie’s batch was about to be deployed for training in our office, I was hoping she’ll be the one who gets to be assigned to me. And by serendipity, it happened. From the very moment we started our first conversation, there was instant chemistry. Since then, she was a fixture in our tropa - a constant visitor to my post every time she takes a break from work. She became my “pare”.

Being together during our rest days and spending countless hours over the phone slowly took our friendship to the next level. I realized that my platonic feelings have turned into something more colorful - my pare became my angel. I can’t imagine my life without her…

No one, not even us, knew that a simple friendship will eventually blossom into a love that will bind us eternally. I have found my heaven here on earth - in the arms of my angel.
