Hours later, narating na nila Jane ang Thailand. Pero halos balisa ang kanyang mga daughters. Kaya ang mga pilots and flight attendants na ang nagasikaso sa mga gamit nila at nagtulungang ilabas yun. Akap-akap ni Jane palabas ang dalawang anak niya at paglabas nila doon na naghihintay sila Freen and Becky na agad nilang nilapitan para saklolohan. Si Becky na ang kumuha sa dalawang bata. Si Freen na ang lumapit kay Jane para kumustahin.

Freen: Engfa called us and told what happened. I am so sorry, Jane.

Humagulgol ng iyak si Jane nang itinalikod ni Becky si Mikha and Chantal. Saka na sila sumakay ng kotse pabalik sa mansion ni Freen and Becky. Sa loob ng sasakyan doon na nailabas ni Jane ang kanyang nararamdaman ngayong hiwalay sila ni Janella, Belle and Francine matapos silang pinagtangkaang patayin ng mga tauhan nila Doña Cielo at Rex as she was in Freen's arms. Hinihimas-himas ni Freen si Jane as she was comforting her. Becky was also doing the same for Mikha and Chantal. Habang sila ay nasa loob na ng SUV na umaandar papuntang mansion ng Sarocha Couple.

----

On the other hand, Engfa and Charlotte brought Jea, Belle and Francine home. Charlotte already called their doctor saka inasikaso si Janella pagdating. Iniwan nila ang doctor para icomfort ang dalawang daughters. Charlotte na ang naghandle kay Francine. Engfa did Belle.

Charlotte: I'm sorry for what happened, Francine.

Francine kept crying as she was leaning on Charlotte's chest.

Francine: Why? Why do our families hate us? Why?!

Halos mabasa na ng luha ni Francine ang damit ni Charlotte, but she didn't mind. Habang hinahaplos ang likod ng bunso.

Charlotte: I really don't know, Francine. All we know is your grandma Cielo and her homophobic community are very cruel when it comes to the girl-to-girl relationships. 

Patuloy na humagulgol si Francine at hinahaplos ni Charlotte, habang akap-akap. Si Belle din ay kasalukuyang humahagulgol ng iyak habang nakasandal kay Engfa na hinihimas-himas siya.

Engfa: Belle. I'm sorry.

Belle: I can't believe this! Yesterday, I was in Mommy Jane's arms. Mom Janella is always there for me, whenever Mommy Jane wasn't. But now, I am not sure if Mom will make it.

Engfa: Shh. Belle. Belle. Look at me. Look at me.

Belle looked at Engfa's eyes.

Engfa: Your Mommy Jea is a fighter. She will make it. She will make it. Okay?

She smiled at her, as if she was her own daughter.

While the daughters were being comforted by Engfa and Charlotte, the doctors were doing what they can to keep Janella from dying. While the portable monitor was beeping normally.

----

Back in Thailand. Freen, Becky and Jane reached their mansion. The drivers brought all the things that Jane brought. Including the things of Janella, Belle and Francine. Hanggang sa pagdating ng mansion, mahigpit pa ding nakasandal sila Mikha and Chantal kay Becky. Freen also did the same thing to Jane as they were bringing them into their mansion.

Pagpasok, saka nila pinaupo ang half family na nakaligtas mula sa kamay ng mga homophobic. Inutusan ni Freen ang maid nilang si Auntie Mhee na kumuha ng tubig para kela Jane at sa kanyang mga daughters. Paginom ng tubig saka na dinala ni Becky sila Mikha and Chantal sa magiging kwarto nila. Hanggang doon nun, balisang-balisa si Mikha habang si Chantal ay nanginginig at humahagulgol ng iyak. At since dalawa sila, nagpaalam si Becky sa kanyang wife na papuntahin ang kapatid ni Freen na panganay na si Lady Neung Nekkham sa kanilang mansion para tulungan ang couple sa pag-aalaga kela Mikha and Chantal. Ilang minutes lang ay nakarating na ang Ate ni Freen at agad itong lumapit kay Mikha para asikasuhin. Tapos dinala ni Becky si Chantal sa banyo para paliguan. Neung did the same sa ibang banyo to Mikha. Si Jane na nasa table ay binigyan ni Freen ng milkshake para ito ay marelax. Pero hindi masyadong makasipsip si Jane dahil ito ay patuloy pa ding umiiyak.

Jane: I thought... I thought that Janella and I would be very happy and free from homophobic world. *Sniffle, *sniffle. But it all changed instantly when our grandma Cielo, Uncle Rex and Auntie Maja attacked all of us. Tried to kill us all.

Jane expressed all her feelings of loss. While Freen kept doing all she can to comfort Jane, by caressing her but let her express and let all the feelings out.

Jane: I'm very worried what would happen to them.

Freen: Before you arrived here, I tried to call Engfa again. But I could not reach anyone. Don't worry, my Jane. I am sure they will be all right.

Jane leaned her face on Freen's chest as Freen is still caressing her. And then they swung as if the latter was carrying a baby.

When Becky and Neung finished bathing Jane's daughters they decided to sleep with them first. Freen already asked Jane's permission and she agreed.

Jane: Freen. Thank you so much. I don't know what to do without you and Becky.

Freen: I know how it feels. I am so sorry, Jane. I could not protect your family all the time. Becky and I almost had the same tragedy as you. We had survived. But we also lost our daughter.

Freen's backstory caught Jane's attention. Freen held back her tears.

Freen: Her name was Little Mon. She was very beautiful.

Freen showed Jane Little Mon's baby picture. According to Freen, someone tried to murder them by bumping their car while they were on their way home from visiting Becky's parents, one week after Little Mon was born. Their car bumped into the big tree. What Jane could not believe was the murderer shot the baby without hesitation, without mercy when he heard Little Mon crying loud.

Freen: She will always be in our hearts. So, Jea, Belle and Francine will always be in your hearts, Jane. Remember that.

Jane: What are we going to do?

Freen: I cannot answer all of your questions yet, you still need to let all your feelings out. Go on.

At dito na nga humagulgol ng iyak si Jane sa harapan ni Freen, habang malungkot na pinagmamasdan ng latter ang pagluluksa ni Jane. It took almost two hours, halos ubos na ang luha ni Jane. Gabing-gabi man na, pero hindi pa din natulog si Freen to make sure that Jane was okay. Hindi nagtagal, napatahan na ni Freen si Jane. Pinunasan niya ng luha, tapos dinala sa kwarto nila ni Becky para doon matulog katabi si Jane. While Becky was sleeping with Jane's daughters. Pinaghiwalay muna nila para hindi maipakita na nagdudusa ang kanilang ina. Pinaliguan ni Freen si Jane, habang ito din ay medyo balisa. Matapos ay pinagbihisan saka na sila humiga. Akap-akap ng mahigpit ni Jane si Freen like her daughters leaning on her before. Now Jane is like her daughters leaning on Freen. Siya na ngayon ang nakasandal kay Freen as if she was her mother.

Back in the hospital, one of the doctors was carefully pulling the bullet from Janella's body. While she was still unconscious. While Belle and Francine were still crying for their mother, habang sila ay nakasandal kay Engfa and Charlotte. Then it didn't take long, the bullet was finally removed. Noong tapos na nilang ayusin ang lagay ni Janella, one of the doctors came out to to Engfa. When the latter saw the doctor, pinalipat niya muna si Belle kay Charlotte. While Francine was still crying in Charlotte's arms. Si Belle naman ay pilit na nagpapatatag para kay Francine at kay Mama Janella niya. Ang doctor na yan ay walang iba kundi si Dr. Ava.

Engfa: Doc, how is she?

Dr. Ava: She's gonna be okay. Her condition is stable. We already removed the bullet from her body.

Engfa: Can I have it?

Doctor: What for, Lady Meena?

Engfa: We would need that for evidence against the one responsible. Can't risk the police destroying this evidence.

Then Ava nodded. And put the bullet into the plastic bag for Engfa to keep it safe and secret.

Ava: Anyway, you can visit her now if you want.

Engfa: Thank you, doctor.

Then the doctor left. Engfa went back to her wife and Janella's daughters. Saka na niya dito sinabi ang lagay ni Janella. Nakahinga sila ng maluwag ng malamang stable na ang condition ni Janella. Ngunit, si Francine ay lungkot na lungkot pa din dahil nga sa pagpahiwalay sa kanila ng homophobic kay Jane, Mikha and Chantal, matapos silang pinagtangkaan ng buhay. Saka nun dito ay dumalaw sila sa room ni Janella na hanggang ngayon ay tulog. While may breathing tube sa kanyang ilong. Nilapitan ni Belle si Janella saka nun dito niya niyakap gently.

Belle: Mama Janella, you keep telling us that we are your daisies. Every time we were born, your happiness always grows more like daisies. Yours and Mommy Jane's happiness. I love you po, Mama Jea. 

Belle said as she was weeping. Then she kissed her mother on her forehead as their mothers always do to them. Si Francine naman ay nakaramdam ng depression and anxiety kaya nun sa hindi inaasahan, bigla na lang siyang hinimatay. Na sobrang ikinagulat ni Belle at agad niyang ginigising.

Belle: Francine! Francine!

Charlotte: Doctors! Doctors! Help!

Agad nagpuntahan ang mga doctors and nurses saka dinala si Francine para icheck kung bakit hinimatay. At ang result ay madaling madepressed si Francine at dahil nga sa pagkahiwalay sa kanila mula kay Jane ay lumala ang depression ng bunso. Kaya nun ipapacheck na din si Francine.

Jane on the other hand, while still in Freen's arms, she was remembering her memories with her only Janella, together with Belle and Francine who was now separated from them. The days that they always promised each other. How they always have fun together. Dates together. And their secret marriage. And the most beautiful memories are the days their daughters were born. Habang si Jane ay patuloy pa ding umiiyak. While Freen kept caressing Jane. 

Freen: There, there, Jane. It's okay. Don't lose hope. You'll see them again.

Freen rocked Jane like what she always does to Becky. Habang nakaakap pa din siya. 

Becky on the other hand, was also comforting Mikha and Chantal who were still crying. They may be two of them, but Becky already knew how to handle two children at the same time. Mikha was leaning on Becky. Si Chantal ay halos nakatulala at balisang-balisa, pero tumutulo pa ang mga luha.

Mikha: Why?! Why do they hate us?! Why do the homophobic want to punish us?! Why?!

Malakas niyang tugon habang malakas ang paghagulgol ni Mikha. Patuloy pa ding inaakap ng mahigpit ni Becky si Mikha. While caressing Chantal with her other hand. 

Becky: Shh. I am so sorry, Mikha. I'm so sorry about your family. Shhh. There, there, little one.

Becky then rocked Mikha. While si Chantal ay halos nakakaramdam ng depression like Francine. Pero sa kabutihang palad, kasalukuyan siyang inaasikaso ng nursemaid nila Freen at pinapainom ng tubig.

-----

Kinabukasan, pinatherapy ang tatlong mag-ina sa Thai professional therapist friends nila. Sa kabutihang palad, naigamot naman sila at ilang araw ang lumipas, sila Jane, Mikha and Chantal ay naging ok na. Simula nun, ang Thai couple na ang nag-aalaga sa mag-ina. Pero noong tuluyan nang naging ok si Jane, tumutulong na din silang buong family sa couple bilang malaking utang na loob nila.

Back in the De Leon mansion, Doña Cielo was angered and disappointed when Rex and Maja reported that they did not catch Jane, Janella and their daughters.

Doña Cielo: Mga inutil! I thought you said, it will be easier! There is only family! One family! Tapos natakasan pa nila kayo?!

Maja: Mama Cielo, hindi na po mauulit. Hahanapin namin----

Dona Cielo: Dapat ngayon nahanap na sila!

Rex: Mama Cielo. Listen. Yes, we told you it would be easy. But we didn't expect that Joshua and Julia would come to their rescue. Janella and her two daughters came to their SUV. We were forced to shoot their van and it exploded----

Dona Cielo: What?! Exploded! How could you do something so stupid?!

Rex: We found their bodies, but Janella and her daughters were not included. Only Joshua and Julia's bodies were there. Burned.

Dona Cielo: And?

Rex: We searched and searched that area, but we found no sign of them.

Dona Cielo: Arrggh! So, ano? Naglaho sila ng ganun kabilis?! What about Jane?!

Maja: Mama, sorry po. Pero nakasakay po sila ng dalawa pa nilang anak sa plane.

Dona Cielo: Anong dalawang anak? Ehh sino yung mga kasama ni Jea?!

Maja: Apat ang kanilang mga anak nila ayon sa intel na natanggap namin. Pero walang pangalan. No records. Nothing.

Dona Cielo: 4 daughters?!!!! So disgusting!!!!! They don't deserve to be born!!!!

Maja: Kahit paano po namin sila i-identify, lahat po encrypted. Yung names, address, even birth certificates, lahat sila encrypted.

Doña Cielo: May tumutulong nga sa kanila. Hanapin niyo kung sino ang tumutulong sa kanila. And bring them to me! Sila ang pahihirapan natin!

Rex: Will do, Mama.

Si Rex na ang umalis while Maja just remained there listening to Doña Cielo's rage.

Doña Cielo: Ang gusto ko ay nasa galamay ko ulit sila Jane and Janella, since sila ang pinakainuutusan ko! Mas mahalaga pa ang utos ko kaysa sa lahat ng mga pangarap nila sa buhay! Kaya ko sila babawiin. Pero kung sino man ang mga tumutulong sa kanila, pagsisihan nila ang pagbabangga sa akin! And their daughters? Pwes! I will cleanse those foul stenches that Jane and Janella created! Ginawan ko na nga ng paraan para hindi matuloy ang GL RomCom nila Catriona Gray and Michelle Dee! Tapos dumagdag pa itong sila Jane and Jea!

A week later, in the morning, Freen and Becky had a surprise for Jane, Mikha and Chantal. It was night that Jane slept with Mikha, while Chantal slept with Freen and Becky. When they woke up, they went down to their dining area to prepare for breakfast. But they were stopped when that breakfast was prepared. Takang-taka sila Jane kung bakit parang breakfast occassion ang nakahanda sa kanila. Dahil maraming mga nakaprepare. Maraming pancakes, french toasts, bacon, ham, even sushies. Tapos may bisita sila. Bukod kay Lady Neung, kasama din nila ang mga Thai friends nilang si Heng Kirk, Jim Martha Looknam, her husband, Becky's friend named Yuki Irin, Noey "Tee" Natnica and Baitoey Punnisa.

Jane: What is this?

Jane asked. Freen and Becky looked at each other smiling.

Becky: Well. My wife and I have decided to do something for you, Jane. For you and your daughters.

Saka inabot nila ang isang mahabang envelope.

Jane: What is it?

Freen: Go on. Open it.

Pagopen ng nasabing envelope, ganun na lang ang pagkashock ni Jane sa kanyang nakita. Dahil ang nailabas niya ay ang Certificate of Adoption. Na nakalagay ay Jane Narda Florence Custodio Sarocha-Vanguardia. Mas nashock pa siya nang makita din ang pangalan ng mga daughters niya na mga Sarocha-Vanguardia na din. Dahilan din na ito ay naluha.

Jane: You didn't have to---

Freen: All these years, since you and your wife weren't loved by your family, Becky and I treated you like our daughters, Jane. Despite our age gap.

Lumapit si Mikha and Chantal at laking tuwa nila nang makita ang certificates nila.

Mikha: Wait! You mean---

Becky: Yes, Mikha and Chantal. From now on, we will be your grandmas. Despite our age.

Chantal: Tha-thank you so much! Aunt Becky and Aunt Freen!

Freen and Becky looked at each other and laughed a bit.

Freen: Well, since you are now our granddaughters, you can call us Mama Freen and Mommy Becky from now on.

Saka na sila naggroup hug lahat as the new family. At nagtears of joy sila.

Jane: But what about Jea and my other daughters?

Becky: Of course, because you are our daughter now, she is our daughter-in-law now. Which makes her part of our family. And Belle and Francine are our granddaughters as well.

Ang joy and paghuhug nila ay muli nilang nararamdaman. Ito ay yakap na talagang gusto ni Jane. Ang yakap na kahit kailan hindi ibinigay nila Dona Cielo, Rex and Maja sa kanila mula noong namatay ang mga magulang ni Jane na supportive sa kanila ni Jea lagi noong nabubuhay pa. Pero syempre mas magiging masaya sila kapag kasama sila Janella, Belle and Francine. And time will come for that.

Becky: Come on, let us all celebrate!

Nagkatuwaan naman ang lahat ng mga tao saka na sila nagsiupo sa malaking table at nagsalo-salo na ng nasabing breakfast.

Simula nun, si Freen and Becky na ang nagpaaral kay Mikha and Chantal sa school ng Stamford International University sa Bangkok.

Habang si Freen ay kasalukuyang tinatrain si Jane sa Diversity Pop Foundation Company Business. Which made her an assistant/co-owner of that company.

Nahirapan man, pero sinikap ni Jane na pag-aralan kung paano pinapatakbo ni Freen ang business niya. Habang si Mikha and Chantal ay ginagawa din ang lahat para sa kanilang future and para din matutunan kung paano ipaglaban ang mga sarili.
