Semua Bab Silent Cry: Bab 31 - Bab 40

3rd Person's POVIt's been a week and Gabbie has not been talking to Xander. It is not like they always talk and this is new, but her silence is especially bothering Xander in a way.Since the incident with Clyde and after Gabbie went to her room that night, the two didn't have any proper interaction at all. Gabbie wakes up so early to do her daily job and sometimes leaves for school earlier than Xander. She will then arrive home early to work again and then lock herself in her room after dinner. They are not having their meals together as usual. Sometimes when they run to each other in the kitchen at night, like when Gabbie goes down to quench her thirst, or when Xander goes down to get himself some coffee for overnight work, none of them initiates a conversation, both doing their own thing.Xander was always the one surrendering and would break the ice but the woman was rather cold and answers him only with simple gestures. There is one time when Gabbie was alone baking some cupcake

They formed a queue from the counter as they are given a bowl and spoon for lunch.A young lady in her early 20s is serving the children pieces of meat while wearing her kindest smile of sympathy. The children do not have families anymore to feed them. The young lady is just too jovial to be someone who can help even with this simple act.She has been working in this orphanage for a year now. She is the newest lady in the said place that is far from the urban area. The orphanage is located deep down in the forests and that is making the atmosphere more relaxing for her.

The ladies working there also have their rooms and are also given salaries for taking care of the children. Gwyneth didn't

Gabbie's POVGabbie woke up early today. Thanks to the adjustment of her body alarm she can rise as early as five in the morning. She slunked off of Xander's room and went to hers. She prepared herself to start her regime.She went straight to the kitchen to cook some breakfast. The maids are already set for their morning work, too. Sometimes she wonder what is their waking time because they are always up before her even how early she is.She was entrusted with making Xander's breakfast meal for weeks now and today is no exception. She think her recipes are improving because Xander never once spat any of her dishes. Well, she ain't that bad of a cook to start with. She grew up feeding herself so she somehow mastered the basics.She decided to cook an omelet. 'I told you, I mastered the basics.' It's a good thing though, enough to give herself a hand. Eggs should always be a part of the diet because it's one of the simplest recipes to make that can turn into a plat du jour.She was so f

Gabbie's POVWeeks had passed after that haphazard date. We remained the same. He is still the sweetest man I've ever laid my eyes on albeit the fact that he was once the scariest person I've known. Every morning he would join me in cooking breakfast, and we will then share the food together. He oftentimes calls me while I'm at school, asking how I am or if I'm done eating lunch. In the evening we would watch some movies of different genres but end up talking about each other's unknown facts. It was like that for almost a month. I should be in my happiest state right now, but no.On random nights between those weeks, I kept on receiving pictures of Xander and Nicole at that same party. It was multiple shots with barely different postures and it makes me squeeze my heart every time. It unfailingly reminds me of how Xander lied to me just to be with that model. Aside from the kissing, there is also one where Nicole Smith whispered something to him and she looked so giddily. There is no
