Miro keep pacing back and fort outside the emergency room. The uneasiness keep her awake and worried sick.
She didn't know what exactly happens from that moment she saw her sister unconsciously lying on the floor.
It felt so mind-blowing for her, this is the first time she felt this kind of emotion in her life. The mixed emotions inside her is kinda surreal.
'God please keep her safe.'
She keep on praying. She wouldn't deny that she still care for her. They might have a complicated relationship but they are sisters after all.
"Miss Lecaros?" The doctor walked out from the emergency room. Miro quickly approached him.
"Doc, how is she?" Despite of the uneasiness inside, Miro tried to compose herself.
"Well, Atty. Lecaros is stable now. But we still need to admit her here to observe her condition. I think she had been hard headed lately. We already discussed about what things to avoid yet she keep on doing those things." The doctor explains while Miro listens intently.
"What exactly is her problem?" Miro asked.
"Hindi niya ba nasabi sayo? Atty. Lecaros was diagnosed of heart failure last year." The doctor spoke with sympathy.
"And we have to find a suitable donor for her as soon as possible."
After a few more discussion the doctor walked away to do his duty.
Miro wasn't able to process the information. She sat down on the chair outside the emergency room.
The has passed and the never ending thoughts continue to bug her mind.
"Heart failure?" She whispered to herself.

Miro went back home when Cleir's family arrived at the hospital. She cares for Cleir but it doesn't mean that the grudge inside her faded away.
This incident makes her head spinning even more. She just can't connect everything perfectly.
Miro sat down there, absentmindedly.
The door swings open but Miro didn't even notice it. Jens walked in.
"Huy! Okay ka lang?" Jens asked but Miro didn't even blink nor turned to her.
Jens observe her and sat beside her. She held her hands and squeeze it a little.
Miro finally turned to her. Jens stunned when a tears flows down on Miro's face.
"Ano bang nangyayari sayo?" Jens asked worriedly as she held her face. Miro chocked up and sobs. Those painful sobs from Miro stabs Jens's heart.
"Miro..." Jens uttered with so much care, then pulled her for a tight and comforting embrace.
"It will be alright." She whispered to Miro. They stayed in embrace for a few more minutes until Miro finally recovered.
When her sobs subsides, they pulled away from the hug. Jens wipe her tears away from her eyes.
"Mind to share?" She asked trying to make it sounds lightly as possible.
"Bakit ba ako umiiyak?" Natatawang tanong ni Miro pero alam ni Jens na may mas malalim pa siyang dahilan. Jens stared at her, waiting for her to share whatever it is.
Miro let out a deep sighed.
"Cleir... s-she." Miro bit her lips as she tightly closed her eyes. She shouldn't cry, not at all.
"May heart failure siya..." She spoke barely audible but enough for Jens to hear. Jens didn't react at all and rub Miro's back gently.
"M-may heart failure... a-ang ate ko.. Jens." Then her tears flows again, she crying. Miro buried her face on her palm as she sobs continuously. Jens looks at her with sympathy.
"Miro, she will be fine. We have to pray for her okay?" Jens softly spoke.
"Magiging okay lang siya kapag may donor na." Miro remove her face from her palm.
"Then we will look for a donor, Miro." Jens encourage her.
"I can be her donor." Miro nodded at her own idea.
"What?! NO!" Jens raised her voice.
"Jens, she needs a suitable donor. Naririnig mo ba ako? Suitable!" Miro muttered frustratedly.
"Hindi! Ikaw Miro, naririnig mo ba yang sarili mo?! Hindi ako papayag." Jens spoke with same frustration as Miro.
"Pero kailangan niya ng tulong ko!" Miro stood from the couch angrily.
"She didn't even asked you for help!" Jens glared at Miro.
"Magisip ka Miro, kapag ibinigay mo yang puso mo sa kanya, mamamatay ka! Alam mo ba yun?" Jens added.
"I DON'T CARE!" Miro screamed at her. Her chest heavily went up and down.
Jens scoffed in disbelief. She shook her head. Jens turned her back to Miro but then she suddenly turn again to her.
The next thing she did made them stunned.
Jens throws a hard slaps directly on Miro's cheek.
Miro took a step back as she looks at Jens with disbelief. Jens looks at her blankly.
"That slap is to wake you up." Jens exclaimed, Miro on the other hand, stood there in shock.
"Lagi ka na lang ganyan Miro. Every time na may nangyayaring ganyan akala mo super hero ka na kailangan magbuwis ng buhay palagi. Selfless human creature! G-gago ka!" Jens's voice cracked as her tears begun to flows on her cheeks.
"M-Miro minsan naman....isipin mo yung mga taong n-nagmamahal sayo. Huwag mo lang isipin yung taong mahal mo lang. N-nandito kami oh, n-nandito lang ako! Tutulong kaming maghanap ng donor pero huwag mo naman itaya yang sarili mo..." Jens is now crying in mess.
Miro look up to her, eyes widened, mouth agape as the realization strikes her. This is the first time seeing Jens being this emotional.
Miro walked up to her and pulled her in embrace.
"I-im.. I'm sorry.. " She whispered.
