Few years had passed, dito na bumukod si Jane and Janella sa kani-kanilang mga families and iba pang mga homophobic para sila ay maging malaya mula sa galamay ng kanilang homophobic Lola Cielo. Kaya nun malaya nilang nagagawa ang pagdadating and for the first time naeenjoy nila ang time nila together. Nagpakalayo na din sila sa mga territories ng homophobic. Si Julia naman ay may negosyo nang nabuo and tagaibang bansa naman ang clients niya. Mga clients niyang mga supportive sa mga lesbian relations. Si Joshua ay napromote as Police Captain. Si Daniel Torralba naman ay SPO3. Engaged na din si Joshua and Julia and soon to be married.

When it was their first monthsary, Jane and Janella had a picnic on the beautiful dense forest. Where the sun spotlights were shining through the trees. The yellowish leaves and flower petals flying and falling on these two lovers faces as they were enjoying the fresh air and picnic together. Medyo may pagkaliblib pero safe naman.

Jane: Mabuti naman, ito yung napili mong lugar.

Janella: Don't you like it?

Jane: Are you kidding? I love it!

Masayang tugon ni Jane sabay yakap kay Janella. Jea hugged back.

Janella: Well, syempre happy first monthsary, my Darna!

Jane: Aww! Happy first monthsary din sayo, my Valentina!

Tapos nun, naramdaman ni Janella na kumulo ang tiyan ni Jane.

Janella: Oh, mukhang gutom na ang baby ko ahh.

Jane: Oo nga ehh. Ang haba kasi ng trip ehh.

Janella: Which is why bumili ako ng maraming McDo para ito ang ipangpicnic natin. And also the Starbucks. 

Wika ni Janella habang inilalabas ang kanilang kakainin ni Jane sa picnic. Lumabas ang burger, fries, chicken, Chicken McNuggets, milkshakes. 

Jane: Wow! Ang dami naman nyan, love.

Janella: Syempre naman, para busog tayo ng first monthsary natin.

Jane: Basta wag tayong magpapataba ahh.

Natatawang wika niya. Saka nun, nagstart na silang kumain. Habang kumakain, nagkukwentuhan sila ng mga sweet things. May time na sinusubuan ni Janella si Jane ng McNuggets, si Jane na sinusubuan si Janella ng fries din. Matapos nilang kumain, saka na sila nagmilkshake. Syempre hindi naman mauubos ang kanilang kwentu-kwentuhan, sa pagkukwentuhan nila, minsan na nilang pinapasipsip ang sarili nilang milkshake sa isa't-isa. Una si Janella ang nagpasipsip kay Jane ng milkshake niya, tapos si Jane naman ang sunod na nagpasipsip kay Janella. Saka nun natapos na silang uminom ng milkshake.

Janella: By the way, syempre para mas maging maganda ang monthsary mo, nagprepare ako ng kanta for you.

Jane: Oh, talaga? Marinig nga.

Janella: Easy, tiger. Baka atakihin ka sa sobrang kilig mo.

Kapwa natawa sila sa kanilang biruan. 

Janella brought her guitar and began to sing for Jane which was titled "Ganyan Talaga" as she starts playing the mentioned guitar.

JANELLA

Ganyan talaga kapag in-love ka na
Laging masaya kahit na may problema
Sa status pa lang ay nasa heaven ka na
Lalo na't kung sa'yo ay nag message pa siya
Ganyan talaga kapag mahal mo siya
Sa gabi'y naghihintay kung tatawagan ka
Ngunit kung hindi ay matulog ka na
At baka sakaling mapanaginipan mo pa

[Chorus]
Ganyan talaga pag-tinamaan ka (Ganyan talaga)
Ang bawat araw ay gumaganda
At kahit nag-iisa
Ang pakiramdam ay kasama mo siya
Ganyan talaga ang umiibig (Ganyan talaga)
'Pag lumapit siya, ika'y nanginginig
'Di mapalagay at parang na-uutal
Ganyan talaga 'pag ikaw ay nagmamahal

[Interlude]

Ganyan talaga kapag mahal mo siya
Hindi maiwasang magselos sa iba
Hayaan mo na 'pagkat ganyan talaga
Kung hindi nasasaktan ay nakapagtataka

At biglang napakanta si Jane sa sobrang nadala sa napakagandang boses ng kanyang one-month girlfriend.

JANE SINGING

Janella kept playing her guitar as she was listening to Jane's melodic voice habang pinagmamasdan. Harana nga sana, pero mukhang nadala si Jane at napakanta na din.

Ganyan talaga ang umiibig (Ganyan talaga)
'Pag lumapit siya, ika'y nanginginig
'Di mapalagay at parang na-uutal
Ganyan talaga 'pag ikaw ay nagmamahal
(Ganyan talaga 'pag ikaw ay nagmamahal)

Saka na din nagsabay silang kumanta.

JANE AND JANELLA SINGING

Ganyan talaga pag-tinamaan ka (Ganyan talaga)
Ang bawat araw ay gumaganda
At kahit nag-iisa (Nag-iisa)
Ang pakiramdam ay kasama mo siya
Ganyan talaga ang umiibig (Ganyan talaga)
'Pag lumapit siya, ika'y nanginginig
'Di mapalagay at parang na-uutal
Ganyan talaga 'pag ikaw ay nagmamahal

(Ganyan talaga)
Oh-oh-ooh
(Ganyan talaga) Ganyan talaga
(Ganyan talaga) Ooh-ooh
(Ganyan talaga) Ganyan talaga

Matapos ang kanta, kapwa namangha sila sa nagagandahang boses ng isa't isa. Hindi din alam ni Jane na ganun pala siya kagaling kumanta. Though nagvivideoke naman sila minsang apat nila Julia, Joshua at Janella at simpleng kanta lang. Ngunit ngayon lang lumabas ang lubusang talent ni Jane sa pagkakanta, bukod sa pagsayaw niya. Hindi din nila namalayan sa sobrang mangha nila sa magandang boses ng isa't-isa, na sila ay nagtititigan na. Saka nun, walang ano-ano dito na sila naghalikan. Wala namang masyadong tao nun, kaya sila ay patuloy pa ding naghahalikan. Si Jane ang humiga, habang si Janella ay nakapatong sa girlfriend niya. Hawak ni Janella ang pisngi ni Jane. Jane was holding Janella's backhead. Saka nila tinanggal ang halik and stared at each other again.

Janella: I didn't know you also had a beautiful voice, my Jane.

Jane: Me neither. I didn't even know I could sing like you. Or baka siguro noong una mo akong hinalikan, kaya yun ang naging magic sa pagkanta ko.

Natawa si Janella habang hinahaplos ang buhok ni Jane.

Janella: Anyway, let's not do this muna. Mas gugustuhin kong magenjoy tayo kapag kasalan na. For the sake of our future children.

Kumunot ang noo ni Jane at marahang pinalo si Janella.

Janella: Aray! What?!

Jane: Grabe ka naman! Nagsisimula pa nga lang tayo sa bago nating trabaho, agad-agad yan.

Janella laughed at Jane's reaction. Naintindihan naman niya, kaya hindi ito nagtampo sa reaction ni Jane. 

Janella: Well, my love, kung sakaling mabuking lang tayo, kung may gawing masama sa atin ang homophobic families natin as their punishment, ang importante lang ay magkasama tayo. Yun ang itinuro sa atin ng ina ni Julia noong nabubuhay pa siya.

Jane: Sa bagay.

Hinaplos naman ni Jane ang buhok ni Janella sa batok habang kasalukuyang nakahiga pa din si Jane at nakapatong si Janella sa kanya. Nagkaroon pa sila ng mga kwentuhan and lambingan sa mga bagay-bagay. Ngayon si Jane ay nakasandal sa shoulder ni Janella. 

Jane: I am always here for you, Jea. Hindi kita iiwan.

Then Janella held Jane's left hand.

Janella: Yan lang ang kailangan ko. Hindi din kita iiwan.

Jane: I know you won't.

Then they smiled at each other and kissed again.

THREE MONTHS LATER...

It was 3rd monthsary noong nagdadate sila sa karaoke sa loob ng mall at madalas silang nagduduet. Hindi lang Filipino and English songs. Kundi may Korean and Thai songs din. Si Jane ay natutunan ang language. Janella also did the same. Gaya ng title ay Whisper (Gap the Series) which Janella sang.

Jane had never been this amazed as she listened to her girlfriend's melodic and angelic voice. Hindi niya maalis ang kanyang tingin kay Janella habang pinagmamasdan ang way ng kanyang pagkanta.

ทุกอย่างในใจฉันฟ้อง

Then Jane cheered. Hugged and kissed her girlfriend's right cheek.

Jane: Ang angelic talaga ng boses mo, love. 

Janella: Ulit-ulit ba?

Jane: Oo naman. Ganyan naman talaga kapag nagmamahalan. Ulit-ulit.

Natawa naman si Jea sabay patong ng song book sa hita ni Jane. It was the latter's turn to sing. Jane chose to sing Thai Song entitled "Is It You" from Be Mine the GL Series.

Like always, walang sawang namangha si Janella sa napakagandang boses ni Jane. KAhit yung Thai accent nakukuha din niya habang kinakanta yun. There was also the time when they watched the last and most famous and trending Thai GL Series titled Inevitably Mine the Series. Where the celebrity love teams named Jaojay and Lady Sitang. And that series was what inspired and help them make their relationship firmer and firmer.

Another day of 3rd monthsary never to be forgotten as they keep their relationship stronger and stronger.

When they were on their way home, they ran into the couple and they were surprised to see them. The couples were none other than Tristan Daniel Toralba and Malia Kathryn Rodriguez na kanilang High School friends. Tulad nila Joshua and Julia.

Jane: Uy! Daniel! Kathryn!

Janella: Hey, guys!

Daniel: Uy! Long time no see ahh! Kumusta na kayo?

Agad nakita nila Kathryn na nakaholding hands si Jane and Janella. 

Kathryn: Teka, wag niyong sabihing---

Jane and Janella smiled and kept holding hands. Then nodded.

Daniel: Abaaaa! Mabuti naman hindi kayo nahuli nila Lola niyo.

Jane: Actually, matagal na kaming bumukod sa kanila at sabay kaming nagapply ni Jea sa isa pang accounting firm. Kaya ito. Nakakapagdate na kami palagi pero syempre laging maingat.

Nagkaroon pa sila ng mga mahahabang kwentuhan noong nagsabay silang naglalakad.

Kathryn: Oh, and guess what?

Jane: Ano yun?

Sobrang namangha si Jane and Janella nang ipinakita ni Kathryn ang suot niyang engagement ring na sobrang mamahalin.

Janella: Oh, my gosh!

Jane: Wow! Congrats sa inyong dalawa! Grabe ahh! Mamahaling singsing pa talaga.

Daniel: Kung hindi lang dahil kay Joshua at Julia.

Kathryn: Sobrang nakakahiya nga ehh. Pero alam niyo naman ang kaibigan natin.

Janella: Grabe talaga, Julia. Isa nang CEO ng malaking Cafe.

Daniel: Kayo ba? Hindi niyo pa ba planong magpakasal?

Jane: Hay naku. Paano nga naman kami ikakasal, ehh, puro nga homophobic ang nandito sa bansa natin?

Kathryn: Edi sa Thailand na lang kayo.

Bahagya silang natawa sa joke ni Kathryn.

Janella: Pero wag kayong mag-alala, makakahanap naman kami ng paraan para naman kami ni Jane ay mag-iisang dibdib na. 

Mahaba ang mall nun, kaya sa paglalakad nila ay hindi maubos-ubos ang kanilang kwentuhan. Hindi nagtagal ay nakarating na sila sa parking after talking and eating together as double date.

Daniel: Oh, sige. Happy third monthsary sa inyo.

Kathryn: Ingat kayo lagi ahh.

Janella: Congrats sainyong dalawa!

Daniel: Wag kayong mawawala sa kasal namin ahh.

Jane: Pangako, Daniel.

Saka nun nakipagyakapan sila. And then noong nakasakay na sila sa tig-isang car for a couple, saka na sila umuwi.
