Save Your Heart for Me is Now on Lifebooks!

“Do you want to live longer, Dana?” tanong sa akin ni Kingston.

I was born with a congenital heart defect. Noong eight years old ako, nag-undergo ako ng heart transplantation. Ang sabi ng doktor, hindi iyon cure pero madudugtungan nito ang life expectancy ng isang tulad kong may CHD.

Ten years. Ten years lang daw ang dagdag sa buhay ko. Unfortunately, seventeen years old na ako ngayon. One year na lang ang itatagal ng hiram kong puso. Kunsabagay, ever since naman, alam kong hindi magtatagal ang buhay ko. Kaya nga wala akong pangarap sa buhay. Alam ko kasing hindi ko maa-achieve iyon. I was fated to not reach adulthood.

Then I met this guy named Kingston. Wala rin siyang pangarap sa buhay. Kasi bata pa lang, nakaplano na ang future niya. Planado na ng fate niya bilang sole heir ng isang conglomerate.

What’s the use nga naman of having a dream when you can’t decide for your own life? I told him how I wanted to spend the last year of my life. I wanted to experience an adventure before I died. Then he told me about an ancient Chinese potion called the “elixir of immortality.” May clues raw siyang hawak na magtuturo kung saan makikita ang alchemist’s potion and recipe na may kakayahang makapagpagaling ng mga sakit at magpahaba ng buhay ng isang tao.

“Do you want to extend your life, Dana? Let’s find the elixir of life. Come with me.”

I wanted to change my fate. I came with him.
