the person who stood over there, checking those expensive spices looked somewhat familiar to me.
Lysander? Is it Lysander?
The height was the same as him and the body posture too.
"Lysander? Is that you?" I slapped myself mentally for asking.
The person I was wondering about as Cyrus glanced in my direction. I slowly walked closer to him as he removed his hood.
Yes, it was Lysander, "oh hi!" he said as I replied, "Are you here for shopping?" I asked him as he nodded.
"alone?" I looked behind him, I guess he came alone. "yep" he agreed,
"Are you here alone too? For shopping?" he asked as he glanced at the packet of spices kept in his cart.
I nodded as I noticed something. Cyrus's face was bruised.
I ignored it and we started moving away from that area, just then he questioned, "What are you going to buy?"
"Detergent," I said.
"detergent? Then why are you in the food section?" he looked at me with a confused expression.
"well... I was searching for some new snacks, hehe" I knew I looked dumb saying this.
"Oh, so you wanna do shopping together?" he asked me unexpectedly, I was planning to deny it but... I said,
"uhm sure"
*****
We were still in the food section as Cyrus was searching for some weird items. Raw Red chilies, dry olives, coriander powder, and blah blah, many items I didn't even know.
"Are you just going to take these?" I asked peeking inside his cart.
"hmm, but there are still some items I don't find here," he said as I moved from that area.
"what are those 'items'?" I asked as I was a bit surprised,
"They are some imported items like Indian curry powder, Italian pepperoni, some foreign paprika," he said as we took a lift for the 'detergents and soaps' section.
"whoa!! Looks like you have much knowledge about spices and all" I didn't know Cyrus would know about these things so much.
We got out of the elevator and I took a not-so-huge packet of detergent and start going.
"is your nose okay now?" I asked as I shifted my gaze toward him, did he get his lip cut or something? I thought.
His left cheek under his eye looked purple, also his lip was bruised. *I didn't see this earlier*
"yeah, it's fine, and what about your hand," he asked as he stood on the counter for billing.
I nodded happily and said, "Thanks to you" and he smiled back at me. I didn't know what was going on in Lysander's mind, he can be soft sometimes and sometimes he can be a jerk ass.
*maybe multiple personality disorder or something*
We paid and got out of the supermarket, it was already dark, I glanced at my watch, it was 7. I noticed that there was no car of Cyrus.
"Ayo, you didn't come in your rich-ass car?"
"I don't need to roam in the car literally everywhere" he rolled his eyes.
"don't tell me you are going to carry them all way home" My eyes widened. He smirked at my response and leaned down toward me,
"that's only the option I got"
