[YEARS AGO]


It was a night where the wedding reception was being held in the most beautiful pavilion. And the couple who were being married were both men. As the men were kissing, the people cheered. Among those people were both families named Custodio and Vanguardia. There also two young girls named Jane Narda Florence Del Valle Custodio and Janella Regina Maxine Vanguardia. They already had feelings for each other since they started working together in the accounting firm in one very big company which was homophobic. In secret they were already in a relationship. However, the two men who are just newly married were also Jane and Janella's co-workers and they were given a chance by the company to be together. One time, Jane and Janella were very busy finishing the bookkeeping records when they were surprised by their two co-workers, both male when one of them knelt down and proposed to him right in front of all the employees. As one of them said yes, all the employees, especially the women were clapping their hands very excitedly. Which was happening tonight on the reception.

After a while, it was already dinner time and all of the people especially the married two men were happily eating their dinner. While Jane and Janella on the other hand were very confused, because their company is homophobic and are very strict to same gender relationship and marriage. Forbidden for them to love. As all the people were enjoying their food, nagalangan si Jane at Janella because hindi pa nga sila sure kung nagbago na ba ang company na kung saan nagwowork silang dalawa, mula sa pagiging homophobic nila. But still, they keep their relationship in secret and just enjoyed their dinner. However, nginid sa kaalaman nila, napansin ng tita ni Janella na si Maja Vanguardia sa kilos nila Jane and Janella kung paano sila nagtitinginan. Kung paano sila naghoholding hands at iba pang klaseng lambingan. Matapos nun, saka nagkaroon ng sayawan. At yun nga ay dalawang married men ay sumasayaw ng sweet. Tapos noong binigyan ng floor ang lahat ng mga sumasayaw, saka na nagsitayuan ang mga tao para magsayawan. May iba na mga magasawa. May iba na mga singles na naghahanap ng mga makakasayaw. Pero sila Jane and Janella ay nanatiling nakaupo lang para iobserve ang lahat ng mga tao, lalo na sa family nila since part din sila ng Homophobic Community. Pinagmasdan nila ang mga bagong kasal na parehas lalaki na masayang-masaya nag-uusap. Saka may lumapit sa kanila na magJowa na kanilang close friends na pangalan naman ay Joshua and Julia tapos sila ay naupo.

Joshua: Jane, Janella. Nagtataka kayo no, kung bakit si Kano at Eiros ay ikinasal na hindi man lang ipinagbawalan ng company nating homophobic.

Julia: Oo nga naman. Biruin niyo, lahat ng mga tao dito ay mga homophobic, pero nakakagulat ang company na ito noong nandito na tayo ngayon sa kasal ng dalawang boy to boy couple. Sila Kano at Eros pa.

Jane: Naging malakas na nga ang kutob ko na may namamagitan sa kanilang dalawa.

Janella: At hindi nga tayo nagkamali.


[FLASHBACK]


Last year nilang nadiscover ang relation ng dalawang lalaki. It was the time na nasa company outing sila which is sa isang pinakamagandang beach resort. After nagswimming nila Jane, Janella, Julia and Joshua, nagbanlaw, nagbihis saka nagpasyang lumibot sa nasabing resort. Since magaganda ang mga puno at mga views, yun ang mga tinungo nila. Tapos saka sila tumungo sa mini zoo kung saan may iilang mga exotic animals. May iilang mga snakes. And monitor lizards. Even common snapping turtle ay nandoon din. Noong pauwi na sila sa mga kanya-kanyang hotel rooms, may nadaanan silang isang balcony para sa mga couples. Magpapatuloy pa sana sila nun sa paglalakad, ngunit napukaw ang kanilang attention nang napansing may dalawang familiar na lalaki ang nakahead-to-head na naglalambingan.
