Chapter theme: I'd Rather by Luther Vandross

"A congenital heart defect is a problem with the structure of the heart. It is present at birth. Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect. The defects can involve the walls of the heart, the valves of the heart, and the arteries and veins near the heart." Paliwanag ng Doctor, wala akong maintindihan kundi heart, kanina pa ko iyak ng iyak. "In his case he have Septals defect: there is a hole between the two chambers of the heart" Dagdag niya. "He's now stable but he needs to rest." Paliwanag nito sabay alis.

Sinugod namin siya sa hospital kanina, sabi ni Doc Yokaii ay may sakit daw si Yosh, since birth may butas ang puso. Kaya daw simula bata ay pabalik balik na ito sa hospital, napansin ko din noon ang peklat niya sa dibdib na sanhi pala ng operasyon, ang tanga mo, Aeiou. Hindi mo man lang ba naisip yon? Ang madalas na paghawak niya sa puso, ang paghinga niya ng malalim.

Nawala nanaman daw ito pagkatapos niyang maoperahan ngunit ngayon bumabalik nanaman, nawawala bumabalik heto nanaman -sabi ni Gary V.

Patuloy ako sa pag iyak, "Ang daya mo naman beh, ako tong may sakit satin diba? Ako lang may karapatan, ikaw wala." Iyak ko.

Mayamaya ay pumasok si Doc Yokaii sa hospital, "Nak, can I talk to you for a while?" Tanong niya, nagpunas ako ng luha at lumabas.

"Doc, bakit hindi niya po sinabi? Doc, malakas naman po siya eh, bakit po ganon? Joke lang po ba 'to? Its a prank?" Naiiyak kong tanong.

"Call me otosan, from now on, Aeiou." Bahagya siyang ngumiti. "Ayaw niyang sabihin sayo anak, nag usap kami noon ni Franklin." 

"Franklin, She's hard to handle baka hindi kayanin ng puso mo anak." Doc Yokaii said.

"Kinishinai! Otosan, please just let me do this one please," Yoshiro Begged. "My childhood had spent to the hospital, otosan. After I diagnosed this disease, andami ng bawal, bawal masyadong masaya, bawal masyadong malungkot, bawal masyadong gumalaw. Otosan I even made a wall for myself, para hindi ako mapalapit sa mga tao at hindi masaktan. But otosan, when I saw her, when I met Aeiou its like she broke that wall, o-or I am the one who broke it for her." He cried.

"Kaya please, otosan, let me do this one." He cried.

Agad akong nanlumo, napakapit sa hamba ng pinto. All this time he's suffering and I didn't know about that. I thought I was the one who's sick, I was the one who's weak.

I can't blame him that he forsaked God, his life isn't easy to live for, yet he didn't loss his faith, but he said that when I'm the one who he loss, he loss it all. Therefore, no matter what hard your life is, there's no valid reason to forsake God. He's our father, Jesus is our Savior, they gave us privilege to live, to love and to be loved. and we should thank him, praise him, and worship him for that.

Bumalik ako sa kwarto at umupo sa tabi niya, umiiyak. "Y-Yosh, I'm sorry." Iyak ko.

"H-hindi dapat kita iniwan yosh, nagsayang ako ng walong taon." Nagsimula akong humagulgol.

"I-im sorry, I'm not there when you needed me the most." I held his hands.

"Y-Yosh please, don't give up. We have Junior now. We need you." I buried my face to his hands.

"A-Aei." Napatingin ako ng nagsalita siya, he's tears went down as he look in my eyes, and gripped my hand. "I'm sorry Aei." He cried. Umiling ako, he doesn't have to say sorry, he did nothing wrong.
