Untold Romance (COMPLETED)

EPILOGUE

Synthia was on her way down her building. Although limping, she managed to go to the lounge by herself. There was a different kind of excitement and a pinch of anxiety—and only hospitals give her that kind of brew. To why she's rushing, she has an appointment with an orthopedic. Her back was screaming for attention and now here she is, at the lobby of the semi-furnished building. Synthia noticed Cyrus standing beside his car and looking neat with his new cut. He was looking at her with arms in the air and mouthed 'wow' in amazement.

Cyrus went to her.

"You look great in sandals."

"I know and they're so—" she looked down and back at him "—Comfy! I should shop a little more no?" she said to him and dropped a kiss right after.

His lips pointed her back, "Masakit pa ba?"

"Oo eh, buti nga kaya ko pa bumaba dito."

Cyrus looked at the place. It wasn't finished yet but it was looking wonderful. He smiled at her, "Galing mo naman. Hindi mo lang firm—building mo pa mismo." he squinted his eyes and crinkled his nose, "Pa-kiss nga." he said and dropped a long and sweet kiss on her cheek. Synthia winked and smiled naughtily which was cute. He asked, "Are you wearing make up?"

She smiled, "Powder at lipstick lang. Why?"

"Ah talaga?" He bit his lip and moved closer "Madali lang yan retouchan."

"Sisirain mo ba?"

"If you don't mind."

"No, I absolutely don't."

He laughed at their conversation "Lalandi eh no? Dalhin muna kita sa ospital at tsaka na." then he escorted her to his car. The hospital was quite far from her building and along the way, the two of them were busy discussing their plans for the upcoming months. In case her injury gets in the way, they might reconsider the dates and trips but she didn't like his idea of rescheduling. What could she do if ever her broken bones change their plans?

"Sige, roller skating pa." He teased and glanced at her from time to time to see how she'd react.

"Kung inalalayan mo ko dun edi sana maayos buto-buto ko."

"Inalalayan kita, ikaw tong nagmamagaling."

She quickly shifted the topic when she found herself guilty. At a very random moment, she recalled not having breakfast, and as if on cue, her stomach grumbled in hunger. A silly smile crept to her lips as she slowly turned her head to him and smiled from ear to ear. Cyrus noticed; didn't bother to look at her with a grin on "Oh? Anong gusto mo?"

"Let me think."

Funny, she didn't know what kind of food she exactly wants to eat—but something creamy, tender, and flavorful. She was thinking maybe cheesedog? Who is she kidding, she doesn't even know what a cheesedog tastes like. If only she can partake at least a very tiny part without paying a visit to the ER. Silence filled the car until they arrived at the Hospital's parking lot—still unable to pick something to eat.

"Cheesedog na lang."

"Tigas ng ulo mo bawal nga."

"Nasa ospital naman tayo, lapit ng ER oh. Tsaka curious ako kung anong lasa"

He shook his head "Gusto mo hotdog? Okay, Jolly hotdog na lang."

"Kung Jolly hotdog, wag mo pakunan ng dressing ah. Gusto ko kumain nung nasa commercial na jolly hotdog." her gentle voice dropped in just a blink of an eye as if free-falling without a parachute. She averted his gaze and took out something from the compartment "Laging walang dressing yung akin, nakakasawa." she muttered in a low voice. He kept himself steady despite getting irritated with their conversation. Cyrus could not believe what he is hearing right now "Ha? Gusto mo may cheese? Plain hotdog na lang. Alam mo namang bawal ka eh."
