Miro is on her way home when she feels something weird. The anxious begin to stir inside her.
"Bwesit bakit ayaw kumapit ng preno?" She angrily asked and keep on pressing on the brake.
It's so dark and she don't know what to do.
"Kailangan pa ako ni Cleir! Hindi pa ako pwedeng mamatay!" She felt the nervousness inside her.
"This can't be."
"Think Miro!"
Miro took a deep breath as she tried to keep herself relaxed.
Without taking her eyes away from the road, she grabbed her phone and dialed Jens phone.
After a few rings the line got connected.
"Jens, please check out for ate Cleir. I'm on my way home na." She said.
"You're so tense, Miro. Are you okay?" Jens asked from the other line.
"Pinagsasabi mo? Okay lang ako. Basta si ate Cleir puntahan mo baka mapano yun."
"Gago Miro, nag-aalala ako. Nasan ka ba? Umuwi ka na nga. Want mo sunduin kita?" Jens seems to panicked but Miro chuckled still trying to think of the way to save herself.
"Nahahanap ako ng donor para kay ate."
"Gabing gabi na! Ano ka ba? Pwede ka naman magpasama sakin ah." Naiinis na sabi ni Jens.
"Jens kumalma ka nga." Miro giggles.
"Miro I swear, tatamaan ka sakin." Jens muttered.
"Basta Jens, if ever man na hindi ako makauwi sainyo.." Miro tighten her grip on the steering wheel as she bite her lower lip.
"Miro isa!" Naiiyak na sabi ni Jens.
"Ano ba kasi yan? Umuwi ka na! Umuwi ka na please lang!" Jens started to cry.
"Jens listen please...I made up my mind na kung walang willing maging donor, ako na lang." Miro choke up and the tears started to form in her eyes.
"I want to give her my heart because my body can't take any pain anymore." Miro giggled with bitterness.
"Malay mo mas sasaya yung puso kung wala sakin." Miro smiled sadly.
"Miro..." Jens sobs from the other line.
"Miro please don't do that. I can't lose you.Ayoko please." Jens begged.
"But I already lose myself. Jens, I'm sorry for being so weak." Miro let her tears flow.
"And I feel like I need to do this. This is the only thing I can do for my sister."
"No! Miro Come on! Don't do this! Kahit ngayon lang makinig ka naman sakin oh!"
They talked for 5 minutes and Miro hung up the call.
She didn't know what got in her but she called Sam.
"Ma'am." She muttered.
"Miro?" Sam asked, surprised.
"How is she?" Miro asked and chuckled.
She looks so stupid right now but she can't help but to think about her.
"You called me at this time just to ask me that? Amazing." Sam replied with sarcasm.
"Do me a favor." She said.
"What favor?" Sam asked.
"Never let her be hurt again." Miro smiled.
"Corny mo." Sam cringed.
"Mahal ko kasi yan." Miro whispered.
The call lasted for almost 5 minutes and Miro ended the call.
Miro took a deep breath as she closed her eyes.
Then their memories together flashes before her eyes.
They were so happy.
They used to be so happy.
and in love
"If only you were mine." Miro whispered.
Then there is a loud sound of a crash.
"S-she what?" Aliah felt her knees weaken.
"Miro died in a car accident." Cleir sadly smiled at them.
"You're kidding right?" Aliah asked again, still shocked about it.
Sam wasn't able to move. She can't even turn to look at them.
"She died in a car accident?" Sam asked blankly.
"Uh huh, I was thinking that maybe you know about it because you were on her last phone call." Cleir explained while looking at Sam. Aliah stared at Sam in disbelief.
"I - I don't have any idea, Oh God!" Sam's eyes widened and covered her mouth.
"But Miro didn't leave the earth totally. She's here, her heart is still beating in rhythm." Cleir smiled as she placed her hands on her left chest.
Aliah broke down in tears as she slowly walked closer to Cleir. She kneels down to her and places her head on her chest.
"I'm sorry.." she cried. Cleir was taken aback by her sudden action but she understands. Cleir let her be.
Sam stared at Aliah with sympathy.
'Kung naging mas matapang ka lang sana.' Sam thought.
"Don't be sorry. Kumikirot yung puso namin ni Miro." Cleir utter. Aliah lifted her head and glanced at her.
"Ako pa rin ba ang mahal ng puso niyo?" Aliah asked.
"If you're asking me, hindi na kasi na saakin na 'to e. But if you're asking the real owner of this heart, then yes. I think the answer will always be a yes. She never stops loving you." Cleir muttered with full of sincerity.
Aliah didn't know what to say.
She's out of words.
"I think, we need to go home muna Ali. Balik na lang tayo kapag medyo okay na." Sam suggested. They both look at her at the same time.
"Ayaw niyo bang dumito muna?" Cleir asked.
"I need some time to clear my mind." Aliah whispered. Cleir nodded with understanding.
"Sure, balik ka lang anytime."
Cleir walked them out.
"Oh wait, I have something to give you. Wait here." Cleir said and went back inside. When she came back she has a brown envelope on her hand.
"I think this one is for you." Cleir smiled at her.
"Healing takes a while so don't rush it." Cleir wave at them.
