“Sabi ng doctor ko may gustong magdonate ng puso niya para sa kin. Una kong inisip ‘yes. Mapapakasalan ko na si Gayle. makakanta ko na sa knya yung Grow Old With you.’ Haha. Ang saya ko. And I’m meeting my donor tomorrow. May taning na din ang buhay niya eh. Bulok na daw kidney niya. Ayaw niyang magpa-transplant. May pamilya kaya yun? Ewan. Pero thankful pa rin ako sa kanya.”

“Love is sacrifice. I want to live longer but no with his heart. Gayle needs him more.”

Flashback Rence’s POV

Ime-meet ko ngayon yung donor ko.

Sino kaya siya?

Ikaw,kilala mo ba siya? Haha

Knock

Knock

“Come in.” –My donor

Nakatalikod siya.

Hindi pa siya masyadong matanda.

“Umupo ka lang jan. feel at home. Haha.” –Donor

Parang narinig ko na ang boses nay un dati.

“Pilipino pala kayo. Salamat po pala ah. Matutupad nap o ang mga panga… what?! Are you?!no! I’m not accepting your heart! No! I mean, NO!”

“Relax Rence, I’m giving you my heart because you deserve it more than I do.”

“NO! I’m not accepting it. Yes, I want to live longer, but not with your heart! Oh my God! What the hell were you thinking?”

“Do you love my daughter?”

“Yes. I do love her.”

“Then you deserve my heart.”

“No! I love Gayle but… you don’t understand!”

“You are the one who don’t understand! I made my daughter hate me!”

“Yes. But she never hated you. She loved you and I believe she still does. I know it because I’ve been with her long enough. Everyone can replace a boyfriend but no one can replace a father. Sorry Mr. Ramos but I’m not accepting your heart and you’ll accept my kidneys. That’s an order. Goodbye.”

End of Flashback

“I’ve been selfish before. I’m never gonna do it again. Gayle needs her father more than she needs me. Yes, I’m afraid but I’m happy because this time I know that I made the right choice. And I’m not gonna regret this.”
