Chapter 150 - Don’t blame yourself... (1/2)
Disclosing her hatred she was feeling right now for Alonzo, Veronica left the place immediately without looking at back for even once, being followed by Tom as her personal bodyguard.
Tom had already told Willa to go back home using Veronica's car as he would personally drop her home as per Reuben's wish. He opened the car door for her and Veronica entered it without complaining to him like she did most of the time whenever Tom came to pick her up..
Veronica silently sat in the car resting her head on the window panel and closed her eyes to control her emotions while Tom started to drive off..

”I HATE YOU MR. ALONZO BROWN..
I JUST HATE YOU…”
These were the only two sentences that kept ringing in Alonzo's ear. He couldn't still come to believe that he really heard these 'hate' words from the love of his life Veronica and that too direct towards him. He couldn't adjust with the thought that Veronica loved another man who was not him...
Alonzo fell on his knee on the ground whereas tears pooled out from his eyes without his knowing. The strong Alonzo was nowhere to be seen anymore.. instead a vulgar and broken person was sitting there, pondering over the things that occurred in his life few minutes ago..
Keeping a hand on his chest where his heart resides, Alonzo felt his heart crashed into pieces and it shattered into his worst dream. He felt his heart was not anymore present there and Veronica's words of calling him a heartless man wounded his serenity.
But how could that be possible? She was the only one five and half years ago who dared to talk with him full confidently without any fear. Though he pretend to be a little abnormal but she didn't saw it as any problem or differentiated between him with other normal people on the basis of their mental status..
There was always a soft look on her eyes whenever they met or talked. She was always gentle and caring towards him and tried to protect him from those stupid classmates of them though it was not needed..
'But it could only be friendly gesture. Any true friend would stand for another friend without caring if he was normal or had some mental problems. It's not a big deal.' Alonzo's subconscious mind kept repeating this.
No.. No.. this couldn't be possible...
Veronica must have loved him. He wouldn't love anyone else and if she really did love any other man then..
Then he would not think twice to remove him from Veronica's life..
”I'll claim you back Veronica. No one can love you more than me. Only I deserve you the most.” Alonzo made a promise to himself.

After 10 minutes of drive, the car halted near the main road. Veronica was not at all concerned about it at the first as she was deep in her thoughts but few minutes later.. When she felt the car was not moving at all, Veronica looked outside the window and found it was outskirts of city S.
”Why did we stop here?” Veronica asked to Tom because the distance from the sight to her home was around two hours, if there was no traffics on the road as the sight was in another city...
Tom got out from his car seat and made a round of the car towards Veronica. Opening the door for her, he gestured her to step out from the car.
Veronica looked at him in confusion as if to ask why they were here in middle of the almost empty road but didn't get any answer from him again..
So without any other choice, she stepped down from the car and stood there noticing her surrounding carefully.
She couldn't find anything there, not even an animal, so she again asked, ”Tom can you please tell me that, what are we doing here in the middle of an almost lifeless road?”
Tom bowed his head a little and said, ”Sorry ma'am. I can't tell you anything right now. But you will get your answer in few minutes.”
Veronica was not at all in a mood to fight with him, so she kept mum and didn't speak anything. She stood there silently looking at her feet and playing with her hair.
Few minutes later, a black colour expensive sports car screeched it's tier loudly, making it stopped just behind Veronica's car.
A handsome tall man with extreme good looking feature with a perfect face and a very well built body descended from the car and started walking towards her..
Veronica turned to see who was exactly the person and her eyes turned again watery sensing the presence of her most trusted man, who was none other than her love.. Reuben..
