Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 37: It's too late

On our way to the picnic site, I'm with Nancy in her car with Sav and Chris in the back seat. Gabriel is with the boys and they go to the lake right after having breakfast earlier.

The kids and I were dancing our heads to Justine Timberlake's music 'Can't stop the feeling' playing on the car radio when Nancy suddenly changed the station.

It's exactly a heartbreak song.

I looked in the rearview mirror and saw the two kids frown at their cousin's back. I sighed, but then I tried to listen to the song.

**Why can't it be.. why can't it be the two of us? Why can't we be lovers? Only friends. You came along at a wrong place, at a wrong time or was it me.**

I immediately turned it back to its previous station earlier. Nancy glanced at me.

"Why did you change the song?" she asked me with amusement dancing in her eyes.

I gulped and tried to think a better reason.

"Uhm... the kids didn't like the song. And it's unsuitable for their age." I answered without looking at her. "Right kids?" I turned my head to look at the two who are now enjoying the cheerful song.

"Ahh... okay," she said nodding.

I suddenly felt uncomfortable with her, so I just looked out the window.

-'Why can't be? Why can't be the two of us? Huh! It will never happen.'-

I sighed as I leaned my head against the window. I closed my eyes for a while, but then I remember suddenly Sandy.

-'Right! I need to call her!'- 

I took my phone inside my pouch and scrolled through my contacts and didn't hesitate to call when I saw her number even though I'm with someone in the car. And this time, she picked up the call on the second ring.

"Madi." her voice sounded so low and defeated.

"Where are you?" I asked frowning.

"Home," she answered shortly.

"Okay. So, can you explain to me what is happening to you and why were you seemed so defeated?"

I heard her sigh.

"Sandy?"

Because I'm too focused on talking to her, I didn't notice we'd already reached the picnic site until Nancy called my attention.

"Sissy, is it okay if we go to the tent already?"

I nodded
