Lost For Love

* Blurb:

He picked up his call, "Hello Wilfred, this is unlike you, what's going on?" Eduardo asked.

"Sir, Cindy is in the hospital, you need to come immediately."

"What happened?... In which hospital?" Eduardo asked. Eduardo knew something wasn't right, Mr Wilfred can't just call him, if it was a minor issue.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Eduardo disconnected immediately he told him the name of the hospital and rushed out of the meeting hall.

All the managers looked at him surprised, such an important meeting and he left like that.

Reaching the hospital, he rushed to the ward where the doctor always keep any members of his family. He entered the ward and went closer to the bed, the moment he held her hand, Cindy opened her eyes.

"Eduardo..." She whispered.

"Who did this to you?" Eduardo asked coldly.

"Ouch!..." Cindy sighed in pain to distract him.

"Sorry... Does it hurt much?" Eduardo asked.

"Hmm... It does hurt." Cindy answered.

'Oh my... What will I tell him?... No no... Cindy be careful of what to say.' She thought and twined her fingers with his.

"Cindy who did this to you?" He asked the second time.

"Huh?" Cindy asked with an opened eyes.

"Cindy... You heard me." Eduardo said.

"Erm... It was an accident, I... I tried to place my hand on the balcony, and my hands slipped off." Cindy explained.

"Cindy, I told you to take care of yourself but no, you would never do that..." He finger-combed his hair and walked out of the ward angrily.

On his way to the Doctor's office, he met Mara.

"Mara..." Eduardo called out.

"Oh... You're already here, sir, sorry for what happened, the Doctor said she would be fine." Mara said and Eduardo nodded.

"Sir, there's something very important you've to know... Your house is not safe for Cindy." Mr Eduardo looked up at her,

"What do you mean by that?" He asked gently.

"Sir, I know it's gonna sound like crazy but I am really sorry I have to say it... Your mother was the one who pushed her down from the balcony."

"What!... Mara, did you know the implication of what you just said... How can you say such a thing?" He asked.

"I am sorry, sir, but that's the truth," Mara answered him politely.

"Are you sure of what you just told said?" Eduardo asked.

"Very sure, sir," Mara answered and then he went back to the ward very angry.

He wanted to confirm if what Mara said was the truth, so he sat down beside Cindy, took her hand in his own and locked his eyes into hers, doing that he said,

"Cindy... Why are you trying to hide the truth, huh?" Hearing his question, Cindy looked up at him surprisingly.

"Cindy... Why did you lie to me... was it mother who did this to you?..."
