4/4: The reason behind the title 'Remedial Heart'

Note: This is fiction, don't take it seriously.

Are you ready?

----------

Dawn, Lea received an email from Thomas' Tita Helen that there is already an available heart organ and that they are already at the documentary phase to secure clearance to transport.

Lea is very happy; the joy she feels made her cry.

They are now close to the end of the tunnel. She can already see the light.

"Hey? Babes? Are you okay?" Aga wakes up, worried seeing Lea cry

"I am" she wipes her tears and tries to smile "Yes, I am"

"Hey, come here!"

"Babes" she sobs as Aga wraps his arms around her

"You will be fine. C'mon! Stop crying. It's still four in the morning" he says, holding her "What's wrong?"

She half-laughs "Alam mo, ang Daddy mo talaga!"

"Ha?" he asks, puzzled

"Babes!" she suddenly shifts her mood, gleeful with few tears in her eyes "We already have a donor!" she says smiling wide

"Really?" he hugs Lea fiercely "Oh, god! thank goodness!!!"

"Yes! And I need to go home. I need to transact it personally. Nakakahiya na sa Tita ni Thomas"

"Thank you, Babes. Ang swerte ko lang talaga right from the start"

"Asus!" she wrinkles her nose "Wala lang talaga akong choice"

"Thank you" Aga tells her, sincerely

"Welcome, Babes. As I've said, I will do everything for you because I love you. So please... be well after this. You need to be strong –"

"–I promise I will be, Doc"

"Kasi..." she pinches his nose "mag-aalaga ka pa ng mga bata"

"I know, I know" he rolls his eyes

The next day, Lea takes the earliest flight to go back home.

She dials Scarlett's number while driving "Hey? Lunch tayo!"

"Oh? Pinas ka na?"

"Yep! May donor na kami!"

She can hear Scarlett's excitement "Wow! Iba talaga kapag 'ex' kasi. Bumabawi!"

"Shut up, dear! Hindi ganyan. Blessed lang talaga"

"Psh. By the way, may case ako so pass ako for lunch"

"Ay, sayang! Okay, mahirap din naman i-cancel no?"

"What are you saying? Doctor ka ba?"

"Hindi na ngayon. Sorry, I enjoy being a plain housewife already"

"Ahhh talaga, Lea? Sabihin mo yan sa Board of Medicine! I. DARE. YOU!"

"O, talaga. I prefer being called Babes than Doc"

"Okay! Naka score ka yata? Ilang rounds ba?"

"Ano ba, Scarlett Pelobello?" she laughs at Scar's wicked mouth "Bawal nga diba?"
