Chapter TWENTY FOUR
Athena's POV
I can't breathe.. Why am I having a hard time breathing?? I tried to get my medicine in my cabinet pero sobrang ang weak ng katawan ko.. pero sinubukan ko pa rin bumangon. Siyempre nakuha ko yung gamot ko, pagkakuha ko bumagsak ako sa bed.. SaRa yah..my body.. it's weak.. my breathing.. why is it hard to breathe?
I dialed SaRa's number. She's not answering her phone! SaRayah joo goo lae?? Why aren't you answering your phone? You asked me to call you when I feel like I'm dying. Since she not answering my call I dialed Kirby's number. Don't ask why I didn't call Kenji. [joo goo lae? = wanna die?]
[Hello?]
"Tell SaRa.. I'm dying.." I quickly hung up as I catch my breath.
After 4 minutes
"ATHENA!! ASAN KA?!" may nag bukas ng door ng room ko, wait, I didn't call Kenji.. right?
I looked at that person..
"Lucas..?"
"Na-dial mo yung number ko, wala na akong time pa para puntahan si Sara sa school niyo kaya dito na ko dumiresto." Hinawakan niya yung forehead ko "Ang taas ng lagnat mo! tara, dadalhin na kita sa hospital." Binuhat niya ako papunta sa kotse niya.
Habang papunta na kami sa hospital, napansin kong sobrang worried siya, nag mamadali siya sa pagddrive niya.
"Tawagan mo na si Sara.." I dialed her number again but failed
"She's not answering.."
"Si Grace, try mo."
Luckily. She picked up, but the call suddenly ended.
After 5 minutes Sara called. Good lord! I told her that I'm going to the hospital and asked her to tell my parents. She forgot to ask me which hospital, I forgot to tell her too.
"Lucas.. Thanks sa pag bantay mo sakin.. nakakahiya tuloy sayo.."
"Ano ka ba. Wala yun noh. Buti nalang at nadala kagad kita sa hospital, kung hinde lagot na. Pero nakakatuwa, parang trangkaso lang tapos ang daming test na pina-take sayo noh?"
I smiled, "Oo nga eh. Ano kaya sinasabi ng doctor sa parents ko? Baka naman mamamatay na ko!" I joked.
"Wag ka ngang ganyan! Wala lang yan, stress lang siguro or mababaw na sakit. Basta. Hinde yan malala. Sabi rin ng doctor bukas ng umaga pwede ka ng lumabas." He patted my head then I smiled at him.
I wonder what Kenji's doing.. I'm with the guy I didn't choose.. life's irony.
Pumasok bigla si Kuya Nathan sa room, "Lucas, salamat sa pag bantay mo sa kapatid ko ha. Kung hinde dahil sayo siguro mas tatagal pa siya dito."
"Wala yun. Sige, maiwan ko na muna kayo." Nag nod si Nathan tapos sumabas na si Lucas. Pag labas niya pumasok na rin parents ko. Nag smile sila sakin.. pero parang worried parin sila.. bakit kaya? Are they not contented with the results? May problem ba? I hope not..

"SARA!! I'm home!!" I shouted as I enter the house
"OMO! Gwaen chah na yo???" [OMG are you ok?]
"Nan Gwaen cha na, unni! Bogoshipo!" then we hugged. Yeah, losers. [nan gwaen cha na = I'm ok; unni = older sister]
"Where's ahjooma and ahjusshi??" [aunt and uncle]
"They went back to Korea, they said something came up that's why they already have to leave the country."
She nodded. She asked me about the hospital thingy, I told her everything that she has to know. She asked me why I didn't call Kenji instead of calling Lucas, well... I said I was so weak to dial his number. She told me that he's quite sad about it (me not calling him). Psh. Sad? Sad my @ss. He didn't even bother calling me either!
