It was in June 2016 when we first knew about each other. We were both clueless that a random conversation in Messenger would be the start of our story.

We used to call each other "bes". Little did we know that our friendship would grow into something special.

Our love story didn't have a smooth start. At first, we were in a secret relationship.
It was on February 11, 2017, when we officially became a couple. Then in May 2017, we decided to break up due to some circumstances.

At this point, we both knew that we had to let each other go for the meantime and learn the hard way to be worthy of the love that we were trying to keep.

Fast forward to October 8, 2017; we tried once again—now, with the blessing of our parents.

Eight months later, our story ended once again.
Our differences, past hurts, and unhealed selves tore us apart.

It was June 8, 2018, exactly our eighth monthsary, when we decided to part ways.

Years passed, and we've been living our separate lives, happy and thriving. I was so focused on my career while he decided to go abroad in 2021.

Maybe we were not just meant to be, and we just have to let it be.

Fast forward to December 2021, Jers randomly messaged me in Messenger, where he shared photos about Expo 2020 in Dubai.

I thought that's it; maybe he just wants to let me know about it since he knows I'm fond of things like that.

But no, he still loves me. And the rest is history.

It was on January 18, 2023, when we got back together. A year later,
on that same date—we got engaged! ♡ 

Not everyone gets a third chance at love.
But we did. And this time, we are not letting go.

It was not an easy journey. Indeed, love is a choice that you make every single day.

And now, we are ready to make that lifetime commitment of choosing each other.

Truly, He makes all things beautiful in His time.
