Untold Romance (COMPLETED)

2: Yes, I Do

Syn just came from a meeting and now she's off to another destination for another one. She wanted to drink coffee but she needs to arrive at the meeting place as early as possible—in short, no caffeine intake for the rest of the ride for the busy woman. Her schedule is tight and her appetite wasn't in the mood to even eat a biscuit. Rush hour and she was still on her way to her meeting over dinner past Manila. She's infuriated.

"Hello?!" She had to answer her phone in the middle of driving, (Galit agad?) It was Cyrus on the other line. Her heart immediately melted and a smile slowly showed up. She was speechless and felt sorry with what she greeted him. Perhaps if she toned down then it would be less disrespectful.

(Natahimik ka bigla?) He laughed on the other line and shook her senses. Where was she? "Wala, sorry, nagmamaneho ako eh. What do you need?" Her voice became gentle and sweet.

(Gusto sana kitang yayain lumabas...Kung hindi ako nakakaabala)

"Gusto ko sana pero may meeting ako eh. Next time, Promise" she was smiling upon declining his offer.

(Nung huling tawag ko sayo kaninang umaga may meeting ka din. Ang haba naman niyang meeting mo?)

"New meeting, Cyrus. Pang-lima na tong aatenan ko pero I'm sure by 8 pm I'm home"

(May karapatan ba akong sabihin na wag kang magpagod masyado?) He joked on the other line, "Nang-aasar ka ba o caring ka talaga? Ewan ko talaga sayo, engot ka" she rolled her eyes in half kilig and half laughter.

(Nag-aalala ako sayo) his voice got deeper which made him sound more concerned.

"Fine, fine. I won't exhaust myself"

Eenk, Lie. She's already exhausted.

(Mabuti. Tawagan mo 'ko pagdating mo sa bahay mo, pupuntahan kita) he said before ending the call. She's looking forward to finish the meeting and get some sleep but looks like she's gonna be excited for another bonus thing.

They clearly don't have a relationship besides having a platonic kind but he's being like a boyfriend; by the way he talks and by the way he makes her feel. See why he's so dreamy.

Synthia's head is starting to hurt because of inattentiveness to her own health. She's been driving to different destinations for a whole day and this will be the first proper meal she's gonna have. She's doing all these things at once to free her week, a whole week to prepare everything thoroughly.

Finally, after a few hours of discussion about the final regulations as per issued by the court, her day was done and the rest will be for tomorrow to finish. Her client looked at her worriedly and Synthia could finally admit to herself that she's unwell but to others, she can't and doesn't want to.

"Attorney, okay ka lang po ba? Masyado ka pong maputla."

"No, I'm absolutely fine. Uuwi pa po ako ng Manila so mauna na po ako. Salamat po." she bowed as respect and politely said goodbye again. She was still on the road by 7:56 pm just four minutes till 8.

She wants to stop her car and rest for a minute but she's thinking about Cyrus. She has to go home in time or otherwise, her night might end with a few words from Cyrus about overdoing it and for not listening to him. Synthia could already hear him repeating what he had just said earlier.
