"I'm sorry" the doctor said to Irene and Greggy "We did everything we can to save her from her disease, may taning na po ang buhay ng anak nyo" The doctor added and Irene just broke down crying "we can still save her right, tell me doc, magkano kaylangan nyo, sabihin nyo lang even if it's billions please" Irene said as she cried
"Mrs Araneta, money don't value in life, It's either you let her die or find a heart donor for her to survive" The doctor said "her heart is really damaged, and if you don't find a donor immediately she can die anytime soon" The doctor said before leaving
"I-i don't want to lose her, hon please do something" Irene said while crying, "I'll find a donor hon, and if I have to travel around the world gagawin ko just to save our daughter" Greggy comforted his wife while tears started streaming from his eyes, he can't lose his daughter, Celestine is the greatest gift of his life
"Excuse me" Irene said as she let go of the hug and walked away, she started walking in the corridor of the chapel, Irene arrived at the hospital chapel, she knelt down as she prayed
"I may have committed a lot of sins to my daughter, but please don't take her away from us, I'm just starting to love her and fulfilling my responsibility as a mother, lord nagmamakaawa ako, gagawin ko ang lahat wag mo lang patayin yung anak ko, I want to bond with her and enjoy my life with her, I want to watch her grow and I want to be happy with her" Irene prayed as she cried
"I'm sorry sa lahat ng kasalanan ko, but please give me a chance to bond with her lord, kung galit kayo sa akin wag nyo idamay yung anak ko, Daddy please I'm also asking for your guidance to protect your only granddaughter, iligtas nyo siya" Irene said to the statue of the cross while crying
"Anak" Irene heard Imelda said behind her back "mommy" Irene cried as Imelda pulled her to her embrace "Mommy, Si Tin" Irene said as Imelda rubbed her back to comfort her "shhhh, she'll not leave you anak, she's a strong girl kakayanin nyang lumaban" Imelda said "Mommy what will you do if I die" Irene suddenly ask her mother
"What do you mean" Imelda asked her in shock "mommy, my daughter needs a donor and the doctor discussed earlier that my daughter's life is in the brink of death, we don't know the remaining days of her life" Irene said "anong kinalaman nun sa buhay mo" Imelda asked her "What if I donated my heart to save her" Irene said
"Anak, may taning na yung buhay ni Tin, hindi ko kakayanin na pati ikaw mawala" Imelda said while crying "mommy, I don't care if I die, I want my daughter to survive from the pain she don't deserve" Irene said while tears started scaping from her eyes "anak please, your husband and Bongbong is already handling it, they announced it to the whole world anak" Imelda cried
"Mommy, papaano kung walang mag match what do you expect me to do, tumunganga lang habang pinapanood kong nag-aagaw buhay yung anak ko" Irene said "Irene mag isip ka, hindi kakayanin ni Celestine namawala ka" Imelda said to Irene
"Mommy, hindi ko kakayanin pag nawala yung anak ko" Irene cried on her mother's embrace thinking what will happen to her life if she lose her daughter "Irene let's wait for a week, pag-isipan mo muna ng mabuti yang desisyon mo, isipin mo yung asawa at anak na iiwan mo" Imelda said before standing up and leaving Irene alone in the chapel
She decided to go back where Greggy is, she wore a ppe because they're already inside, she entered the room and she saw her daughter laying in the bed with a weak smile on her face "H-hi mommy" Celestine said softly "Hi baby how are you" Irene said as she sat on a chair near Celestine's bed
"I'm fine mommy, my throat is a little bit Masakit, but I can still managed to talk" Celestine said and Irene hold Celestine's hand and she kissed it softly "mommy, if I die please don't cry" Celestine said as Irene cried "Don't say that, you're not going to die anak" Irene said to her daughter
"Mommy, I can fight, pero natatakot ako baka mas lalo lang akong masaktan" Celestine said as she tried to cry pero hindi nya magawa her body is too weak to even cry "Fight this battle anak, and I promise you we will do anything you want" Irene said to Celestine "if you want mag tatravel tayong dalawa around the world gagawin ko" Irene pleaded
"Really" Celestine said softly "yes anak, lahat ng mga hindi ko na gawa nung bata ka, gagawin ko, basta lumaban ka lang please" Irene said to her daughter while crying "don't cry mommy, aasahan ko yan, kahit masakit lalaban ako, pupunta pa tayo sa amusement park tayong tatlo nila daddy" Celestine said as she wiped her mother's tears from the face
Meanwhile, Greggy is watching his mag-ina while crying, "Greggy ok ka lang ba" his brother in law, Bongbong asked him "Bong I can't lose my daughter, sana makahanap ka agad tayo ng donor" Greggy said "makakahanap tayo, I asked for the help from my connection all around the world" Bongbong said as he caressed Greggy's shoulder
Imelda is just want her son in law in pity, greggy truly loves his family, he gave up a lot of things for Irene and Celestine, only if she could tell Greggy Irene's plan, but she wanted Irene to tell him herself, she can't control life but seeing her only granddaughter laying in the bed with a lot of wires and apparatus, remind her of her husband, Ferdinand
She didn't expect, that this event will happen again, everytime she looked at her granddaughter in the bed, only thing that she could see is how did Ferdinand died with the same disease, she would trade everything just to save Celestine, her granddaughter suffered a lot and she don't want another burden to come to Celestine
To be continue
