"Your body is fully recovered now, you can go home tomorrow." sambit ng doctor.
Tumango naman siya at nag pasalamat. It's been three days since he wake up and until now he haven't heard any single thing about Axcel.
"Mom...you heard the doctor. I am fully recovered now so maybe you can tell me where's Ax... he's not my donor right?" nabasag ang boses niya sa huling sinabi.
Kita niyang napa buntong hininga ang mom niya saka hinawakan ang kamay niya. Nag katinginan pa ang mga magulang niya. "He's...not your heart donor."
Napa hinga ng maluwag si Keith sa narinig. Kung si Axcel man ang heart donor niya ay hindi niya na alam ang gagawin.
"Then who?" muling tanong niya. He knew that the heart inside him came from a dying person.
"Don't be shock...but it's from Iris." naluluhang sambit ng mom niya.
Tila nabuhusan ng malamig na tubig si Keith sa narinig. Kahit hindi niya gaanong ka close si Iris ay naging mahalaga na rin ito sa kanya. He knew her for being kind and genuine at all time.
"Why would she...donate her heart to me?" basag ang boses na tanong niya hindi na rin napagilang mapa luha.
"She's with Axcel when they got in to the accident. They're both in critical condition when they arrived. Axcel was saved, but Iris...she chose to donate her heart to you knowing that her days are still numbered whether she got into an accident or not." mahabang litaniya ng ina.
"Her days are numbered...why?" Naguguluhang tanong niya.
"She have a brain tumor, it can't be cured even with a surgery...We just found out it days ago...but even before the accident she already decided to give her heart to you."
Napa hikbi naman si Keith sa narinig. Inside him is Iris heart. Napahawak siya dito at napa iyak. Hindi niya alam kung paano pa makaka bawi sa dalaga.
"Tapos na ba ang funeral niya?" tanong ni Keith.
Tumango ang ina. "They held her funeral two days before you wake up."
"And Ax? How is he?" tanong niya muli napaiwas naman ang ina.
"He's still in comma..." sambit nito kita niya ang guilt sa mga mata ng ina.
"Forgive me son, for all of this happenings. You can be mad at me..." sambit ng ina.
Hindi naman nakapag salita si Keith at napa iwas ng tingin. Hindi niya alam ang itutugon sa ina. Masyado na siyang nasaktan dahil dito... forgiveness is something he can't give to her easily.
"Where's his room?" tanong ni Keith. Sinagot naman ng mom niya kaya tumayo na siya.
"Get on the wheelchair..." sambit ng dad niya.
"I can walk dad...the doctor said it's fine." sambit niya, hindi na lamang nakipag argue pa ang dad niya at inalalayan siya tumayo. Hila-hila ang strand na may swero ay lumabas siya sa kwarto at nag lakad sa kwartong pinag lalagyan ni Axcel.
His heart is still breaking into pieces knowing that this came from Iris. Nang makarating sa nasabing kwarto ay huminga siya ng malalim at pumasok. Nadatnan niya ang mga magulang ni Axcel. They look so devasted.
"Ninang...ninong..." tawag niya sa mga ito.
Hindi niya inaasahan na sasasalubungin siya ng mga ito ng mainit na yakap.
"We're glad that you made it." sambit ng Ninang Aiko niya.
"How is Ax po?" tanong niya at tumingin kay Axcel na nakapikit pa rin.
