Chapter 141 - Definitely not today... (1/2)

In the midway, Alex hesitantly called, ”Vero…”

”Hmm…??”

”When I came to your apartment, I saw a man entering a car. Is he someone close to you?” Alex asked, trying to suppress the unknown jealousy in himself...

Veronica looked shocked when she heard the question. She thought in her head what to tell him as she couldn't tell about Reuben to him..

Because if Alex came to know about Reuben's identity then it would not be hard for anyone to find out that she was none other the only heiress of one of the wealthiest family of country K...Veronica Lopez..

She was thinking very hard when Alex nudged her, ”You didn't tell me about him?”

Awkwardly smiling at him, Veronica said, ”What to tell about him when I don't know him? He was just passing by me when we collided with each other. So he said sorry to me and left by his car.” She blurted out any lie that she could make instantly to avoid any kind of suspicions from her friend.

Inwardly she thought, 'But this is called betrayal to hide the truth from your own friend.'

But then she decided that she would tell him everything about her real identity, her friends, family.. everything one day.. but that one day was definitely not today..

She would let Alex and Diana know all the truth before leaving for city S. Then they could get connected with phone and stay friends for their whole life. She would also let them meet with her friends... Neil, Henry, Will, Lucinda, Louis and most preciously Reuben..

Getting determined about it, the guilt in Veronica's heart reduced a little and she smiled at Alex who was also smiling back at her.

Alex felt more relaxed when he heard that the man whose back had he seen few minutes ago.. was just a stranger to Veronica.. and the strange feeling that he was feeling had also evaporated in a minute..

They both kept talking and went for their class..

-----

One and half month passed away again without anyone's notice...

Veronica was badly missing her family and friends from S city. Though she video called with everyone frequently but still her heart was aching for them.. specially for the one handsome man whose birthday was coming in two months..

It was her five months in City B and there was one more month left for her to spend here. She would definitely miss this city but the attachment she had with her hometown could not be compared to her love for city B...

Because, for her.. City S was like a heaven where all her most loved ones lived.. except one person.. who suddenly got vanished like a thin air without them knowing…

Her bond with Alex and Diana got stronger.. She was happy to find such good friends here.. she also thought of letting both Alex and Diana meet before her leaving the city so that the three of them could be friends…

Early on the morning, Diana had called today to ask Veronica for a  meet up. She told that she had a very important matter to tell her, which is why Veronica was waiting at a restaurant for a lunch date with Diana..

”Finally… you are here?” Veronica asked when she saw Diana entering the restaurant ten minutes late.

”Yeah.. the princess is finally here..” Diana joked in a sing-song voice.

Veronica shook her head for her childishness and said, ”Good that you are here. Let's order something first. I'm super hungry.”

”Yup sure..” Diana said before calling for the waiter.

Ordering their respective foods, they started to discuss about their college and classes..

”So.. what is the matter you have to tell me urgently?” Veronica raised her eyebrows questioning her.

Diana drank a sip of water and said smilingly, ”I have a good news to tell you.. As per your suggestion, I told my mom about my problem over her boyfriend who is also her business partner. And guess what??

Listening to my perspective about him, my mom assured me to break up with him. She also told me to visit home soon. And as my holiday is starting from this week, I'm leaving for home to spend some alone time with my Mom.. Yeyyy..”

Veronica chuckled at her behavior and said, ”That's really good. Everything is finally solved now. You don't have to be stressed anymore. I'm so happy for you.”

”Yeah.. me too.” Diana said laughing with full energy.

The lunch got served and both of them engrossed themselves in eating.

When it was time for their leaving, Veronica said, ”When will you come back again? You know nah.. that my project is almost complete and I'll also be going home after one month.”

”Don't worry Vero. I'll be here in three weeks. And the rest of the week here will be only for you. We'll do lots of shopping and have fun.” Diana said cheerfully, her happiness was on cloud nine to meet her mother.

Smiling at her, Veronica asked, ”When will you be leaving then?”
