“It all began with a setup—one Kristian was blissfully clueless about, while Cheza had been secretly counting down the minutes. What followed was a connection so unexpected, it could have been written by fate… or at least by some very mischievous mutual friends.” On a chilly February 12, 2022, at the UB Thanksgiving Lunch - a celebration for those who had just braved the bar examinations. Kristian walked in thinking he was just there to eat some good food and catch up with friends. Little did he know, a grand plan was already in motion. Across the room, Cheza sat with a quiet smile, secretly looking forward to the meeting that Kristian had absolutely no clue about. What started as a simple introduction quickly became something neither of us expected. A casual conversation over lunch turned into hours of laughter, shared stories, and the kind of conversation that makes the world fall away. It was the kind of conversation that sneaks up on you, like a surprise plot twist in a favorite novel. They talked about everything and nothing, and yet in that exchange, there was something profound: a feeling that maybe, just maybe, this was the beginning of something special. Soon, every Friday, two “friends” would hang out, trade jokes, and soak in each other’s company, blissfully unaware that these nights were quietly stitching a tapestry of something far more meaningful. Their Fridays took on a new meaning. No longer just the end of the workweek, Fridays became sacred—the day of their “Fridates.” It was simple, easy, but somehow always right. Then came June 2, 2023—the night of the epic Fridate featuring Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Somewhere between the dazzling animation and jaw-dropping action, Kristian found the courage to say the words that would change everything: “I love you.” And as fate would have it, Cheza felt the same way. Truly, nothing says true love like spontaneous confessions after watching silly and for children’s superhero movies. Since then, their love grew—sometimes silly, sometimes sweet, always real. Every Fridate, every shared smile, every quiet moment has brought them closer, and now, with hearts full and hands ready to hold, they’re stepping into the next chapter: forever.
