MGD 37 — Damn The Both Of You
"Maraming magdodonate sa'yo, Li. Don't worry, makakahanap din tayo." I said as I lay down beside him.
"Ayaw kong magpa-opera, Princess." he said as he closed his eyes.
"Bakit naman? You know what, don't be so selfish. Magpapaopera ka." I said.
"Hindi ganun kadali 'yon. What if my system don't take the heart to be donated? Maraming ganung kaso, mamatay lang din naman ako." he uttered.
"Why you are so pessimistic?" I asked. Naiinis ako at gusto ko s'yang sabunutan ng ilang ulit para matauhan s'ya.
"Because I know my limitations. I know myself and I know how sad my life is. Wala namang kwenta ang buhay ko." he cajoled.
"Sobrang nakakainis ka! Did you get my point? Maraming nagmamahal sa'yo. Huwag mong sayangin ang pusong idodonate sa'yo." I said and he frowned.
"Bakit sure na sure kang may magdodonate? Don't tell me ikaw ang magbibigay? Hindi ako makakapayag, Princess." he said—serious and I gulfed.
"Tae ka, basta." I answered.
"Ayoko ng may magsasakripisyo para sa akin. Mas okay na ako na lang ang ang maghirap at ako mismo ang magsakripisyo. I know you are stubborn at kaya mong gawin ang mga gusto mo. Kung ano man 'yang binabalak mo, please lang, drop that subject dahil hindi ako makakapayag." he held my hand, "Don't think too much. Marami pa akong gustong gawin bago ako mamatay." I nodded.
"Inaatok ka na." he said as he covered my half body with a blanket. Buti nga ay hindi kami nilalamok dito at hindi rin nagbabadya ang ulan. "Sleep well.." he said as I closed my eyes. I felt him kiss my forehead and I'm totally drowned with sadness.

Mag-aalas sinco ng umaga ay nagpack-up na kami ni Liam. Marami na kasing makakakita sa amin dahil papaliwanag na. Marami ring nagjojogging sa park.
I streched my arms as he greet me, "Nakatulog ka ng maayos?" he asked and I nodded. Tinulungan n'ya akong makatayo at inalalayan pababa ng pick-up.
"Uuwi na tayo?" I asked him and he scratched the back of his head, "Breakfast muna tayo." he said shyly.
"Okay, mas bet ko 'yan." I beamed.
Pumasok na kaming dalawa sa kotse as I asked for a bottle of water. He handed me the bottle and he scowl.
"Magmumumog ako. Duh!" maarte kong sabi at tumawa lang s'ya. Ginaya n'ya ang sinabi ko at nagmumog rin s'ya. Hindi ko atang matake na kumain habang hindi nagmumumog. Ew lang.
"Ako naman mag-drive?" I offered and he shook his head.
"Huwag na, relax ka lang d'yan. Baka mapano pa tayo." he joked.
"Drag racer ako pero hindi ako killer." I said and he laughed.
