Choosing is harder than you thought, Greggy is now outside the room waiting for his mag-ina to finish their discussion "Greggy ok ka lang ba" Imelda asked her son in law "Ok lang po ako ma, medyo nag-aalangan sa maaring mangyari" Greggy admitted to his mother in law
"Greggy may tanong ako, kung papipiliin ka between kay Irene at Celestine sino ang pipiliin mo" Imelda asked him hypothetically "what kind of question is that ma" Greggy asked Imelda "it's just a hypothetical question anak" Imelda said "I can't choose one, I mean it happened before nung pinanganak ni Irene si Celestine, I can't lose my wife because she's been there for me in the darkest times, she accepted me who I really was not because of my wealth and influence" Greggy said to Imelda
"And I can't lose my daughter either, she completes me, she brings joys and light to my life, siya yung nag bigay sa akin ng chance to be a father" Greggy said to her "I can't choose, kung kailangan ako yung mawala gagawin ko, just to make sure that my mag ina is safe" Greggy said to her, Imelda smiled proudly to her son in law
Imelda is amazed on how dedicated Greggy was, he's ready to give up everything for Irene and Celestine "I think you and Irene need to talk, everything I said earlier will be related dun sa pag-uusapan nyo" Imelda said to Greggy as he looked at her confused
"What do you mean ma" Greggy asked her "better to asked your wife" Imelda said as she stand up and went to imee and Aimee Greggy is still processing what Imelda said, until Irene went out to the room and Greggy looked at her "Irene let's talk" Greggy said as he dragged her in an empty room
"What are we going to talk about hon" Irene asked him confusedly "Your mother told me about choosing, what does she mean" Greggy asked her directly "I decided to donate my own heart to Celestine" Irene said to Greggy, Greggy looked at her shocked with tears on his eyes "w-what" Greggy asked her again to make sure that he just miscomprehend what she said
"Greggy, I want our daughter to live, I want her to survive, I want her to heal" Irene said to her husband as Greggy hugged her tightly "tell me you're lying" Greggy said to Irene "I'm not lying mahal ko, mahirap makahanap ng magdo-donate, and I've discussed with the doctor earlier and he said that Celestine only have a week to survive" Irene said to Greggy
"I can't lose you, mahal ko, I can't afford to lose you, I don't want you to die" Greggy cried "I don't want to lose our daughter either, I don't want her to die" Irene said "please hon, gagawa ako ng paraan, wag mo lang gawin yang binabalak mo" Greggy pleaded "Hon, I'm decided, for my whole life, I became selfish to our daughter and now it's time for me to be selfless to her" Irene said and Greggy pulled her in a passionate kiss which Irene gladly respond
"I'll pray that the both of you will survive" Greggy said as he kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly, he knows that anytime soon, he'll lose either his wife or daughter, 'lord kung kinakailangan lumuhod ako sa harapan mo gagawin ko, wag mo lang bawiin ang mag-ina ko' Greggy prayed in his mind
1 week later
It's been a week and Celestine is getting weak day by day, her cute perfect sized face is now thin and pale, her skin became more pale than her normal skin color, Greggy and Irene talked about her decision and they dicided to tell Celestine about it
Irene was about go near her daughter when Celestine is having a seizure "GREGGY, TUMAWAG KA NG DOCTOR DALI" Irene shouted as Greggy immediately go out to call a doctor "anak please laban lang wag kang susuko, Remember what I told you, only losers give up, kaya anak patunayan mo na hindi ka loser" Irene cried as the doctor came inn
They asked Irene to leave the room so they could check on Celestine, Irene is now walking back and forth as she gripped her hair tight and screamed, Greggy hugged her immediately and caressed her back "H-hon" that's all Irene said as she cried on his embrace
"Mrs Araneta her heart is very damaged already, we need to do the operation immediately" The doctor frantically said to Irene "I'm ready doc, if it's the only way to save my daughter I'll do it" Irene said as Greggy pulled her in a really tight hug "Mahal, if nawala ako, promise me that you'll raise our daughter well and proper, promise to be the best dad to her, always remember that I love you so much and meeting you was a nice accident, don't get depress mahal ko, take care of Celestine, I love you to the moon and back Greggy" Irene gave him a really long kiss who knows it might be their last one
Irene entered the O/R and Greggy just sat on the floor hugging his knees while crying, he stand up and went to the chapel, Greggy looked at the cross in the altar and kneel in front of it "please save the both of them, please, hindi ko kakayanin na mawala silang dalawa sa akin, I love my wife and daughter so please don't take them away from me, I don't know my sins, but I'll admit that I have committed one, if this is a punishment for the sins I committed, don't involve the both of them here, get mad at me as long as you want, but save them, That's my only wish" Greggy prayed while tears are scaping from his eyes
He sat down on the chair when he felt someone sat beside him "why are you here" Imee asked him "praying and cleaning all my sins, baka sakaling maawa yung panginoon sa akin" Greggy said as he sobbed "Don't lose hope Greggy, magkasing tapang yung mag-ina mo ok, may awa ang diyos, bubuhayin at poprotektahan niya yung dalawa" Imee said to Greggy as she comforted him
"Let's wait for them na" Imee said as they both walked out of the chapel and they saw the whole fam, including the Laude and Lagdameo outside the O/R, Aton is crying on small's embrace, she's sad because she might lose her bestfriend and ninang anytime soon
Greggy is pacing back and forth as he cried "Greggy calm down" Liza said to her cousin "Liz, tell me, how can I calm down the two most important person in my life is dying right now ha" Greggy shouted at Liza making her flinch, Bongbong unexpectedly punched Greggy at his face "Don't shout at my wife Greggy" Bongbong said sternly to his brother in law
Greggy clutch his fist on Bongbong's shirt "pare tama na yan" Philip said to Greggy as He and Anthony separated Greggy and Bongbong "walang mapupuntahan tong paghihintay na to kung mag-aaway kayong dalawa" Imee said sternly to the two of them
After a few hours, the operation is finished "Time of death, 4:36 am" The doctor said to the nurse as he covered the body, he took a deep breath before opening the door, "how are they" Greggy immediately asked him "We did our best, I'm sorry for the lost" The doctor said making everyone cried as Greggy remained petrified "but" the doctor added
