A Filipina nurse who is a super fangirl of Mario Maurer traveled to Thailand for the first time to meet her Thai celebrity crush, when she met a Thai stranger guy.
Who is he?
How will he change her life?
After enjoying the sight of Wat Pho, Bank took Ev to Tha Tien pier which was only a few minutes walks, and from there; they rode a ferry to cross the river going to Wat Arun.

Wat Arun was just right across Wat Pho. It was one of the most stunning temples in the capital and its design was unique.
"Wow, 4 PM na pala. Ang bilis lang ng oras! Patapos na naman ang isang araw, ang unang araw ko dito sa Thailand," she mumbled while looking at her wristwatch.
Kakarating lang nila ng Wat Arun at ngayon ay naglalakad na sila papuntang temple. Hindi lang ang mismong temple ang maganda kundi pati na rin ang landscape around it, ika nga nila "instagrammable" ang lugar.
"Thanks to this Thai friend here, ang dami kong na-experience today." Bank was walking ahead of her kaya may laya siyang masilayan ang estrangherong kaibigan mula sa likuran nito.
She was genuinely happy with how things turned out for the day. Akala niya ay sira na ang araw niya ng magising siya ng pagka-super late kaninang umaga. "Well,always expect the unexpected."
Kaka-smile niya habang nag-iisip at nakatitig parin sa likod ni Bank ay di niya namalayang lumingon pala ito.
He stopped walking and he stared back at her with a serious face. Since he was wearing a mask, his smile was invisible from her sight.
"Ngaraak mak." Bulong ni Bank sa sarili. It means "very cute" in the Thai language. And he started walking ahead of her again.
They enjoyed the beautiful architecture and fine craftsmanship of Wat Arun. One highlight that anyone can enjoy in this sight was the sunset.
Nakaupo na si Ev sa isang bench facing the river. Kanina pa sila palakad-lakad sa buong temple exploring it kung kaya't nakadama na siya ng pagod.
"Hey!"
Paglingon ni Ev ay sumalubong sa pisngi niya ang isang napakalamig na can soda na binili ni Bank para sa kanya.
"Yikes! Ang lamig!" She reacted sabay kuha sa dala ng kaibigan.
"Huh?" Tanong naman ni Bank at tumabi siya kay Ev.
"I said, the soda is cold. Lamig is a Filipino word for cold." Paliwanag ni Ev.
"Ohh, I see. How about beautiful? How do you say it in your language?"
"Ma-gan-da." She pronounced the word carefully so he can copy it. At saka ininom ang malamig na soda to quench her thirst.
"Maganda." Ginaya naman ni Bank ang sinabi ni Ev though may accent siya.
"Yes, like the sunset, it's very maganda," sabi ni Ev habang nakatitig sa view na nasa harap nila ngayon. She couldn't explain her emotions at that moment. She was in awe with the view, thankful for what she had experienced for the whole day, and especially to him, the stranger Thai friend whom she shared her first day in Thailand.
