#StoriesForLucho: Ryan Agoncillo shares how he knew Judy Ann Santos was THE one

Ryan Agoncillo's storytelling never fails to leave his readers in awe.

Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo

In an another #StoriesForLucho entry on Instagram, the Eat Bulaga host recounted how he realized that Judy Ann Santos was the one for him.

Ryan's eloquent words beautifully described the simplicity and kindness of Juday in the early stages of their relationship in a lengthy post, accompanied by her portrait where she is sitting on a step in front of an apartment.

"I was maybe 26, Mom and I were only really starting to get to know each other.

"I'd pick her up from 1 of her movie sets, we'd ride a motorcycle thru fog and a thunderstorm just to hang.

"Not every girl would've liked it, Mom just giggled thru shivers, while we were sipping gas station coffees, soaked to the socks in the middle of nowhere."

Ryan continued, "Sometimes, Mom would drop in on me at the rock and roll club I used to own with your Ninong Ramdy.

"She'd offer to mix drinks and serve beer at the bar for guests along with her other beautiful friends, I don't think we ever refused."

Moreover, Ryan shared how he was moved by his now-wife's kindness when she offered a hand in one of his previous photo shoots. Her role? A light man.

"There was also this time, she pitched to help set up at one of my photo shoots.

"While in the studio hallway talking shop with the fashion editor, Mom comes out, wearing mechanics gloves, all sweaty from adjusting the lights, telling me the set up was ready.

"I turned to face my editor, her mouth was just wide open, her jaw, we had to scrape off the floor.

"Apparently, her team had been trying to book her for a cover shoot for months already, and there she was, on a random morning fixing lights for the part time photographer."

At this point, Ryan recalled how he knew that Judy Ann is "the one" when he brought her in his parent's home to cope with her downfall.

"Mom hit a very rough patch and wanted to disappear, even just a few days, to breathe.

"I took her to Lolo and Lola's and they agreed that it was the best place for her to relax, undisturbed.

"She stayed, with one of her cousins, in my bedroom since I was 8.

"There wasn't much, just a big mattress on the floor, a noisy A/C and a wonky CD player you had to whack to get thru old DMB records.

"I slept in my parents room, as I usually do when I'm home for the weekends.

"Probably the 2nd afternoon though, I was on the parquet floor, reading a paperback, your aunt had just quietly come in with 3 Frappuccinos, and Mom gets up from under the blankets and pillows.

"There wasn't much talk, but I do remember asking her with a sideways glance, “you cool with this?” she said “with what?” “this. this is how quiet and boring it gets with me too.”

"She just sipped the frap, smiled, and went back to her nap.

"That's when I knew Bud. #storiesforlucho"

Apparently, her team had been trying to book her for a cover shoot for months already, and there she was, on a random morning fixing lights for the part time photographer. By this time though, I've had my heart broken enough times to know that exciting times fade, I knew it was a must to also be comfortable in silences.

She stayed, with one of her cousins, in my bedroom since I was 8. There wasnt much, just a big mattress on the floor, a noisy A/C and a wonky CD player you had to whack to get thru old DMB records.
