00:00My name is Isabel. I am 35 years old. I work in a small office. I have a quiet life.

00:09One day, a new boss came to our office. His name is Robert. He is 40 years old.

00:17He is kind and friendly. He smiles a lot. His voice is soft. He makes everyone feel happy.

00:26At first, he was just my boss. I said hello. I smiled. I went back to work.

00:34But after some time, I started to feel something. I liked talking to him. I liked hearing his voice.

00:44I felt warm when he looked at me. He asked me,

00:48Are you okay today? I said, Yes, thank you.

00:52But my heart was beating fast. He made me laugh. He remembered every little thing I said.

01:01He stood near me when we talked. I began to think about him at night.

01:07I didn't want to, but I couldn't stop. Then one day, I saw his ring. He is married.

01:13My heart broke. I was sad. I told myself,

01:19You must forget him. But it was too late. I was already in love.

01:25I didn't plan this. I didn't want this. But now I think of him every day.

01:32I smile at him. I talk to him.

01:35But inside, I feel pain because I know he is not mine. Every day, I see Robert at work.

01:44He walks past my desk. He smiles. He says,

01:49Good morning, Isabel. I smile back and say, Good morning.

01:54I try to look normal, but inside I feel broken. I love him, but he doesn't know my secret.

02:01No one knows. I sit in meetings with him. He looks at the screen. I look at his face.

02:10I try not to stare, but it's hard. I feel happy when I hear him talk.

02:16One day, Robert stood close to me, very close. He helped me with my computer. His hand touched mine

02:25by mistake. My heart jumped. My face felt hot. Robert said,

02:31Are you okay, Isabel? I smiled and said, Yes.

02:37But I was not okay. I wanted to cry. I know this is wrong. He has a wife. He has a family.

02:45He is not free. But love is not always good.

02:48Sometimes love hurts. Sometimes it is quiet like mine. A secret love. A silent love.

02:57When I go home, I think about Robert. I sit alone in my room. I ask myself,

03:05Why do I feel this way? I don't know the answer. I only know one thing. I can't stop my heart.

03:13One Sunday, I went to the park. I wanted fresh air. I wanted to clear my mind. I closed my eyes for

03:21a moment. Then I heard a voice. A voice I knew. Robert. I opened my eyes. He was there, just a few

03:32steps away. But he was not alone. A woman stood next to him. She was smiling. A little boy ran to

03:41them. Then a little girl came. They laughed together. Robert picked up the girl and kissed

03:49her head. That woman was his wife. Those were his children. I froze. My heart felt heavy. I could not

04:00move. They looked so happy. They looked like a perfect family. Robert looked different. Not like my boss,

04:09but like a husband. Like a father. He did not see me. I was glad. I turned my face away and looked

04:18at the trees. I wanted to cry, but I held the tears inside. I thought, This is real. Robert belongs to

04:28them. Not to me. I sat there for a long time after they left. I felt empty. I felt small. I asked myself

04:39again. Why did I fall in love with him. But there was no answer. I walked home slowly. That night,

04:47I didn't eat. I didn't sleep. I just lay in bed and whispered, Forget him, Isabel. Please forget him.

04:57But my heart said, I can't. It was Monday morning the next day. I didn't want to go to work. My heart

05:07still felt heavy after seeing Robert with his family, but I had no choice. I got ready and went to the

05:16office. I tried to stay quiet. I didn't want to talk. I didn't want to smile. Then Robert came to my

05:27desk. He looked at me and said, Isabel, are you okay today? You look a little sad. I looked down

05:37and said, I'm just tired. He sat beside me and said, You're a good person, Isabel. You always help

05:44others. You're quiet but strong. You're special. My heart stopped. Special. That word stayed in my

05:54head. No one ever called me that before. I smiled, but I was shaking inside. I wanted to tell him

06:03everything. I wanted to say I love you, but I didn't. I couldn't. He smiled at me again,

06:11then went back to his office. I sat at my desk, staring at the screen, but I couldn't work.

06:18My heart was too full. That night, I looked at myself and said, He thinks I'm special.

06:27And then I cried. I cried because I was happy. I cried because I was sad. I cried because I knew

06:37he didn't belong to me, and maybe he never would. I knew my love was real. One day after work,

06:46Robert and I stayed late in the office. We were alone. I wanted to say many things, but I was afraid.

06:54He looked at me and smiled. Isabel, he said, You are important to me. My heart beat fast. I looked at

07:04him. I felt scared and happy at the same time. I wanted to ask, Do you love me? But I said nothing.

07:13Robert spoke again. I am married, but I like you, Isabel. You make me feel alive.

07:21My eyes filled with tears. I didn't know what to say. He said, I don't want to hurt my family,

07:30but I can't stop thinking about you. I was confused. I was sad. I wanted to believe he

07:38would leave his family for me, but I knew it was not right. I said, Robert, I like you too,

07:46but you have a family. I don't want to be the reason for pain. He nodded. I understand, he said.

07:55We were quiet then. After that night, things were different. Robert and I worked together,

08:02but we didn't talk about our feelings. We kept a distance. I thought a lot about love and pain.

08:11I knew loving a married man was hard. It was full of sadness and secrets. One evening, I told myself,

08:21Isabel, you must be strong. You must love yourself first. I decided to stop hoping Robert would leave

08:31his family. I decided to find happiness without him. It was not easy. Sometimes I still thought about

08:39him. Sometimes I still felt my heartbreak, but I learned that love is not just about holding someone.

08:49Love is also about letting go. I began to smile again. I started to love myself. Robert will always be in

09:00my heart, but now I am free and I am ready for a new beginning. If you liked this story,
