(Note to Readers: PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO PLAY THE SONG ABOVE ↑)

Lumipas ang isang linggo at iginugol na lamang ni Jane ang kanyang oras sa negosyo at sa iba pang bagay na maiiwan niya pag nagbakasyon siya papuntang Canada. Kabi-kabila ang kanyang meeting sa mga franchise owners at mga suppliers. Hinabilin niya ang operations at management ng Tapsilog Haus kay Anna. At sa kanyang huling araw sa Pilipinas, she made several phone calls. First she called her Mommy para magpaalam, "Hi Mom! Hindi ka ba talaga makakasunod sa amin? Kinukulit kasi ako ni Nadine. Pilitin ko daw ang Mamita niya."

"I'm sorry but please tell her na hindi talaga makakasunod si Mamita niya. Sobrang busy ngayon sa SLC, lalo't wala si Eric dito. Babawi na lang kamo ako sa kanya. Anyway, pupunta si Mang Bert dyan mamaya para dalhin yung padala ko para kay Nadine."

"Okay, sabihin ko na lang po sa kanya," sagot naman ni Jane. "Is Dad with you right now?"

"Wala, your Dad has a whole day meeting. Call him na lang daw pag dating mo sa Canada. By the way, I've spoken with Eric the day before he left. And-he told me everything. I'm sorry to hear what happened with Marsha. How is she? I hope she gets well," dagdag pa ng Mommy ni Jane.

"She had her Hysterectomy operation fews days ago. So they're just waiting for her Biopsy result. I hope the results will be favorable though. Sana maging okay siya, Mom."

"She will...I know she will. And you just need to believe that she can surpass this. May awa ang Diyos, Jane."

"I know, Mom. These past few days have been difficult. Especially when I learned about Marsha's condition. Mabuti na lang at nandyan si Eric. Siya ang nagpapalakas ng loob ko. I don't know what will I do kung wala siya sa tabi ko. He's been very understanding and supportive."

"True, Hija. You are very lucky to have Eric as your husband. But more than that, I am so happy that you already sorted your priorities in life. I do not question your love for Marsha. Because I was there and I've witnessed how you loved and stood for her. I've also felt your pain. And I know that she will always remain special to you. But you don't know how happy I am kasi pinili mo ang pamilya mo...Pinili mo si Eric at si Nadine," paliwanag pa ng kanyang Mommy.

"I Love Eric and Nadine so much, Mom. And hurting them would be the last thing I'll do. And Mom—"

"Yes, Anak?"

"I wanted to thank you and Dad for always guiding me.....for always being there for me. I'm really lucky to have cool parents like you. Bibihira 'yong parents na tatanggapin nila ang anak nilang sexually confused." At nagtawanan sila ng kanyang Mommy. "Kidding aside Mom, thank you talaga. Kasi kung ano ako ngayon is because you and Dad have raised me well. And for that, I am forever grateful. I know there are times that having me as your daughter was difficult, but you guys never gave up on me. I'm just happy that I'm your daughter. I love you and Dad."
