"I'm not ready..."
"You are and you should, this is your lucky day, Aubrey. You're going to live longer just like what I've told you." Collin smiled, assuring his twin brother's girlfriend while preparing her for her second kidney transplant surgery in a few minutes. Kasama rin nito ang Daddy nito na halatang kinakabahan din para sa anak.
When he told them the good news about the donor, Aubrey Robyne and her father cried so hard. She was already in the verge of giving up when they learned about it. It was a miracle.
She's finally having the chance to live longer again.
The transplant was immediately scheduled a week after the donor showed up.
"Collin... S-Sino yung donor?" She asked him. He didn't really tell them who it was although Arthur Gonzaga kept asking him about the donor so the old man could pay his gratitude - ang lagi lang niyang sinasagot ay anonymous iyong donor at hindi nagpapabayad.
He smiled at Aubrey Robyne, "It's me."
Napansin naman niya ang pag-iba ng itsura nito. He couldn't describe the reaction his twin's girlfriend was showing but surely, she wasn't expecting his answer. Natahimik na lang ito.
He chuckled, of course, he was joking around, "Hindi ako. I'm an alcoholic. I drink beers and some other alcoholic stuff, surely, I won't donate my kidney. Baka makalala pa sa sakit mo." If he could only take a picture of her reaction at i-send kay Lio, malamang baka mabugbog siya nito. Although he knows Lio couldn't punch him cause he's a shy awkward guy.
The surgeon and other medical staff signaled them that they're finally going to start the surgery, lumayo na si Collin at ang Dad nito. Robyne, together with her medical team, then entered the operating room.

"You look like shit," Collin told Lio when he arrived home. Kakatapos lang ng toxic 36-hour duty niya sa ospital. He was grabbing some beer from his fridge when Lio also went near him.
Tinignan naman ito ng masama ni Collin nang nakatayo lang ito sa harap niya, "What?"
"I need a drink." Sagot naman nito. His brother even looked disheveled during that time. Kinunutan naman niya ito ng noo.
Wala yata itong ginawa buong araw kundi ituloy ang pareresearch nito tungkol sa Lupus. Collin knows Lio goes to the National Research Center of the US just for his very extensive research about the autoimmune disease. Pagdating na pagdating din nito sa bahay niya, pagreresearch pa rin ang inaatupag nito.
