Untold Romance (COMPLETED)

47: Back

It has been days of being together in Tokyo and they spent it on food trips whenever the mommy is not busy. To sum up this short vacation, it was the best one they had yet. They used to be so busy in with Nio and the toys he got from different stores they went. But it was only this day that Synthia looked disoriented and detached from reality. Nio frolicked on the same sofa as the very familiar movie plays on deck. Cyrus was leaning on the couch's arm, Synthia snuggling on his neck with a mind full of untamed thoughts and Nio on top of their resting feet at the other edge.

"Kanina ka pa ganyan." said Cyrus.

Synthia looked up to him and shifted her position.

"Ramdam ko ang pagkabalisa mo, kanina pa. Sasabihin ba sa akin kung ano ang gumugulo sa isip mo?" he asked but his eyes remained unopened. Synthia's forehead creased and her mouth was itching to tell him what was happening "Hindi pa ako dinadatnan eh, mag-iisang buwang late na."

Joy was written on Cyrus' face, of course that could possibly mean having a baby number two.

"Let's get you checked." he suggested.

She couldn't say no to that.

On their way to the hospital, Nio was barely mindful of what was about to come to their family. Synthia was apprehensive but at the same time scared. If she was to take care of herself until her contract ends here in Japan alone, she would call them every hour just to feel better.

Synthia could feel Cyrus' cold fingers as he stroke her side to subtly pull her close. Synthia looked up to his eyes and laughed, "Look at you!"

Among the both of them, he was more nervous than she is. They're just here to see a doctor but his body's response to that was way too much.

He smiled nervously, "Bakit?"

Cyrus didn't understood her, she shook her head and they continued walking towards an OB clinic. The Doctor speaks English fluently though she was a native. She delightedly ran some tests and gave her the PT after a short check up. And when she was to test the pregnancy test, she could remember the day she also found out she was pregnant with Nio.

She couldn't take off her smile as she took it to test.

With a glance at Nio who was playing with his toy airplane on the sofa, she went straight to the bathroom. She spent minutes inside the toilet for an answer and when she finally got one, there was a pang of disappointment.

Negative.

An impassive smile was on her face as she got out and carefully showed the doctor the result.

"Well, you're not pregnant and there's nothing wrong either. It must be your menstrual cycle changing its schedule. It will come in a little bit." the Doctor told them as she reviewed the test results from earlier.

"Thank you, Doc. We should get going." Synthia stood up and smiled before heading out. Cyrus came after her with also a disappointing expression on. But from behind them, he could see no traces of dismay and frustration on Synthia's smiles whenever she entertains Nio beside her; he could not hear any sigh of displeasure in her giggles. She was just far from being bothered about the test earlier.

The place was falling dark in seconds as they walked the length of the street. Vendors lined along the alley of a night market, hence, another busy night for them awaits. Nio suggested noodles for dinner which they both mutually agreed.

Cyrus had the chance to ask when the three of them settled inside a noodle house.

"Are you okay?" he asked.
