LUKE GARCIA

Chapter 21

Mia Jasmin's POV.

"It's hopeless," my mom answered that made me feel uneasiness.

As everyone is now staring at us I felt a pain in my chest and a shortness of breath is attacking me like I'm having an anxiety attack but I know it's not. "Noona, you good?" my brother asked.

"I-I'm—" mabilis akong nanghina kasabay ng paghawak ko sa dibdib.

"Lady.." mabilis na may lumapit sa akin mula sa Sanez Underground inaabot ang inhaler ko that's why I inhaled and Luke helped me pressed my inhaler.

"A weak leader is not good for our underground, you know that Lady Miyu." Pag paparinig ng lalake na halatang isa sa mga leader rin na tumatayo.

Tinitigan ko siya ng matalas. "Then why are you in that position, sir?" my brother asked, without a tone of respect.

"Kent,"naninitang sabi ni daddy but our Ultimate Sandoval laughed.

"Let me remind you this sir, don't underestimate my sister when you can't even surpass her skills. Just a reminder, we're Sandovals and you're just a leader of something we don't even know." Kent answered him without fear.

"Kent Axel, enough." My father warned and tapped my back.

"Let us rest." My mother declared.

No one ever talked and guided us the separate rooms we have inside this place, it's all airconditioned. Luke looks so worried yet he didn't ask and just hold my hand.

"Mia Jasmin, I want you to train your lungs once again." my mother advised.

"Yes mom," sagot ko kahit si Kent ay may sariling kwatro rito na hindi nalalayo sa amin, ng maihatid kami sa kwarto ay wala kaming magawa kundi pumasok sa loob.

Nakita ko ang simpleng kama at may katabing mesa sa gilid nito sobrang kubong rin, kahit bintana wala. "How do you feel?, Asthma attack?" Luke questioned and let go of my hands to see my condition.

"I'm okay, ayoko lang sa narinig baby." Mahina at doon ay nalungkot akong muli kya walang nagawa si Luke kundi yakapin ako ng mahigpit.

"Lalaban tayo, okay?" tumango ako bilang sagot sa kaniyang tanong.

"Mahal na mahal kita Luke, kung kailangang maging rule breaker ako gagawin ko." Mahinang sabi ko at nag simulang maluha.

"Please don't cry baby, I'll try my best."

"Luke naman eh, you should do it I hate see you trying and just trying then it ends there." Mariing sabi ko.

"Then what should I do baby?" he questioned.

"I don't know either, Just want to see you alive."

"That's why I'll try my best because I want to be with you." mahinang sabi niya kaya bumuntong hininga ako.

"I'' take a rest first, dito ka lang sa tabi ko baby." pakiusap ko tinabihan niya naman ako sa kama at hinayaan niyang higaan ko ang kaniyang braso at saka ako hinalikan sa noo.

Ipinikit ko ang mata dahil sa pagod na rin.

Naalimpungatan ako ng marinig kong may nag uusap lang rito sa loob ng kwarto. "Mom, what should I do now?" ng marinig ang boses ni Luke ay alam kong nandito lang sila sa bahagyang malayo sa akin.

"I don't know anak, I talked to Miyu and she declared that it's really hopeless because you exterminate a normal people they just hired." Sa sagot ni Tita Elizabeth ay kinabahan ako.
