Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 35: Loving him silently

**Nothing hurts more than realizing that he meant everything to you, but you meant nothing to him.**

My face crunched when I got a text message from Sandy. It was a quote. I was getting ready to sleep and Gabriel is still outside. I've already changed into my sleeping clothes. 

-'What does she mean by this?'-

I sat on the edge of the bed and read it again, and because my mind was too focused on my phone, I didn't notice Gabriel entered the door and walked past me to the bathroom. I also missed when how he raised an eyebrow at me.

But then I got another text message from Sandy.

**He ignores you, but you like him. He does nothing, yet you fall for him. You miss him, but he never thought about you.**

"What is going on with her?" I asked myself aloud. Gabriel was already out of the bathroom and turned to look at me. But I haven't noticed him yet. I reread the second message and I felt confused if it was really for me? I suddenly chuckled, shaking my head. 

And my cellphone beeped again. 

**It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.**

My hand automatically rose to my chest. Why am I suddenly affected? I bit my lip and chuckled again. I was about to dial her phone number when she sent another message.

**Love... is when you shed a tear and still want him. It's when he ignores you and you still love him. It's when he loves another girl but you still smile and say 'I'm happy for you'.. when all you really do is cry.**

With her last message, I couldn't help but laugh loudly.

-'why are you crying?'- I heard a voice in my head.

"I'm not crying!" I said defensively because it's true. "What are you talking about?" maybe at this point, I looked like an insane woman, talking to my phone even though I know it will never answer me.

And I decided to call her. But I've already called her number more than five times, but she didn't answer any of my calls.

"Who are you calling at this late hour?" I almost dropped my phone when Gabriel suddenly asked. I turned to him and saw him leaning against the closet door.
