Our Love Story

The Banana That Brought Us Together

Some love stories start softly, with destiny leading the way. Ours began with a banana that was apparently overcooked. ;)

It was April 2015, at a small banana stall called "Ginanggangan". Eve was simply helping out when Lester appeared, confident, playful, and just a bit too forward. He complained about the banana she picked, and Eve, already tired, quickly corrected him: “Hello? I’m not the seller. I’m just helping you, Sir.”

Instead of backing down, Lester leaned in, asking favors, cracking jokes, and pretending to be dissatisfied with the banana, when really, he was already satisfied because he had noticed her. His mission that day was simple: get her attention, even if it made her a bit mad.

When the seller returned, Eve decided she had had enough and started to leave. That’s when Lester asked for one last favor, if he could use her phone to call his manager. His phone was dying, and he still had work to finish around town. Eve, kind at heart, agreed.

What she didn’t know was that Lester had silently sent a message to himself from her phone to get her number. That night, Eve looked at her screen, confused an unknown number, 11 missed calls, 11 p.m. far too late.

When she finally answered, the voice on the phone confirmed it was the banana guy.

He admitted he had annoyed her on purpose because he was drawn to her, and he couldn’t help himself. He was proud. He was happy. He had her number.

Eve hung up. Nonsense, she thought.

But love, when it’s meant for you, is very patient.

They came from different provinces but worked in the same town. Different offices. Different worlds that slowly began to overlap.

Lester started waiting outside Eve’s office every day at 5 p.m. her time to go home. No grand gestures. Just presence. Just consistency.

Eve didn’t believe in love anymore. Her heart had been broken before, and she had learned to protect it. But Lester spoke a language her heart understood, acts of service, words of affirmation, and a quiet promise that he wasn’t going anywhere.

Slowly, laughter replaced doubt. Trust followed. And one day, without realizing it, Eve fell not because of persistence alone, but because of sincerity.

What began as teasing turned into friendship. Friendship turned into affection. Affection turned into a love guided by God, shaped by patience, and proven by time. From a banana stall to this moment, their story reminds us that sometimes love doesn’t arrive perfectly, it arrives playfully, unexpectedly, and exactly when you’re not looking.

And somehow… it feels just right. 🤍

From a banana stall to forever - this is our story.
