*New Beginnings*

Welvic's POV

It's been five days since she was in a comma.

I snuck inside the ICU a few minutes later, the next days Monique had an attack. I just had my test a couple of hours earlier unto if ever I am qualified as her donor, I just want to tell her my full decision after she wents on her operation.

I held out her hands. They were so cold, she was so beatiful even at sleep. I can't help but drop a tear.

"Monique I'm so sorry," I said kissing her cold palm. "Sorry kung hindi kita matutulungan diyan sa estado mo. But I promise what I will do next will let you live. Magpaparaya ako para sa'yo mahal ko."

Her hands moved. I think she hears me- hoping. I kissed her forhead and then leaned my lips againsts her ear, I told her everything that could possibly happen after she wakes up.

"I love you. Thank you for that little infinity," I whispered as I went through out the doors of the ICU.

I went on and met her parents.

"Tita... Tito... Just promised me one thing, just pretend that everythingbetween us is just a nightmare," sabi ko.

They gave me a hug.

"Salamat hijo, thank you for making us and our daughter happy," sabi nila. "You are the bravest man ever seen alive."

"I'm doing this because I love her," sabi ko.

I smiled and just left them out of the blur. I entered doctor Alexandra's mini-clinic, I met up with her and smiled, "I'm ready..."

Monique's POV

After that massive attack I went out of my usual league. Actually that was way more serious than before- a much more worst attack than before.

After finding myself lying behind Welvic's biceps, I blacked out.

Then, I thought I was dead...

"Urgh..." my back's sore. Nagising nalang ako sa isang maliit na kwarto ang unang nakita ko ay ang malaking flat screen na tv sa harapan ko- probably I'm on a suite room in St. Andrews.

"Welvic?" I find myself uttering his name.

Blurred parin yung mga paningin ko. Niisang bagay ay hindi ko ma-identify. May humimas sa ulo ko, naliwanagan ako ng makita si mama sa gilid ko.

"Ma? Saan po si Welvic?"

She looked at me sarcastically. "Sinong Welvic anak?"

Wait, tinatanong niya ba kung sino si Welvic? Wait, am I still on the same world. Kilala naman ni mama si Welvic ah? Bat nagtatanong pa siya kung sino yung mokong na boyfriend ko? Jeez, for a mom she's weird.

"Si Welvic po mama, haler! Yung boyfriend ko po?" tanong ko.

She just laughed at me, "Seryoso anak? May boyfriend ka pala? Ano bang dinulot ng droga sa utak mo. Well, enough of that. Magpasalamat ka dahil may nagdonate ng atay sa'yo, meaning you're gonna live!"

"Mama, si Welvic po asan?" paulit-ulit na tanong ni mama. "Tsaka sino ang nagdonor saakin?"

"Hindi ko kilala yang si Welvic ng buhay mo o kaya panaginip mo!" Paulit-ulit rin niyang sinasagot. "Isang taong willing na magbigay."

Sinong tao? Babae ba o Lalaki? Sino! Niisang tanong eh ayaw sagutin ni mama. Tsaka bakit hindi nila kilala si Welvic? Talaga bang totoo yung sinabi niyang panaginip ko lang si Welvic?
