Chapter 152 - The beast inside him got wakened... (1/2)

”Lets tell everyone about us. Let the world know that we are not some enemies but a sweet couple who love each other with their everything. Let's confirm our relationship to the world Bennie...”

Veronica told the last sentence directly looking at Reuben whose eyes were broadened like an elephant's super big eyes.. He kept staring at her in pure shock as if he heard something unusual and shocking, which he had never thought to hear at this moment.

Reuben wanted from the first day of their relationship to make the whole world know by yelling loudly to them that this girl in his arms was his..

ONLY HIS...

He always dreamt of the day when the whole world would know that, The Reuben Smith was dating the most amazing girl of the world, The Veronica Lopez.

He wanted to shout out to everyone that both Veronica and himself were booked for each other personally and specifically, so that no other flies could try to pry in their amazing relationship...

But circ.u.mstances were not on their side. Though they wanted to reveal about them to the public but there were two reasons which were restricting them to do so..

But what were those restrictions which would block the two most lovable person who was also the power couple to everyone to hide such a big truth about themselves??

Moreover why should they act as an enemy to each other??

Veronica looked at Reuben who was in a deep thought and without any further delay, she understood what exactly he was thinking…

She cupped Reuben's face in her palm and made him look at her while Reuben easily followed her actions and stared at the most beautiful woman of the world in his arms..

”Honey, I know that I was the one who suggested to keep our relationship as a secret from everyone. And you know the reasons behind it very well.” Veronica said.

Reuben nodded his head at her in response and started to speak, ”First reason was to avoid any unwanted attention of the medias and other people. We wanted to maintain our privacy so that we could lead a normal life because once everybody becomes aware of our relationship… there would be no simple us.. All has to be extravagant and showoffs like other Richie rich type of families do, which was absolutely not our forte as we always wanted a humble and sweet loving relationship above of those fakeness..”

”Exactly... But we already came a long way in our almost five years of relationship. We stayed happily and spent our lives like we had always wanted. But now it's high time to change that also. I mean we can't forever hide our relationship from the world, right??” Veronica said looking at his eyes directly.

Smiling a little, Reuben replied, ”Right... I never wanted to play hide and seek with you around the people with our relationship. I always wanted to shout out to the world that this beautiful and amazing girl in my arms is already taken and no one should think of eyeing her...

The two reasons never mattered to me as I know whatever would happen in our life, we would never stop loving each other, instead our love would grew more stronger and stronger… But for you, the second reason was…”

Before Reuben could complete, Veronica made him stop by kissing him on the lips and then continued what Reuben was going to say to her, ”Bennie, I know baby.. that more than the first one, the second reason was holding us back to listen to our hearts but now… after thinking carefully, I came to an conclusion that the past is past and we have to forget it..

It's already been more than five years since he went missing or more like went in hiding. After that incident, he just disappeared from all of our lives like he was never belonged to the world. Everyone accepted the fact including our friends that he had died but we always had a guts feeling that he is alive, safe and sound but he didn't have any urge to show himself in front of us..

We wanted to find him so we pretended to be enemies with each other so that he could broke all of his resistance and come back to us and be our pillar but he never came.. I don't even know if he would ever come back but what I know is that, we can't mourn over him for our whole lives and forget to live the life which we truly wanted..”

Veronica was already in tears while saying all those things to Reuben. She was remembering all those moments of that unknown person with them and their friends..

The happy times when they would laugh like crazy persons.. the sad times when they would cry together on each other's shoulder.. And among all of these, the missing person would be the one who would keep them altogether as a group though how much they fought or quarrel..

Reminiscing all the griefs that they were holding in their hearts for all the past five years, still pretending to be okay, Veronica felt sad more and more.. While the all time strong and supporting Reuben who would always soothe her by rubbing her backs or teasing her, was also having tears in his eyes..

Reuben was no different than Veronica when came to talk about this certain someone whom they had never seen again after one eventful day as his eyes were also burning in pain and as a result, silent tears were falling on his cheeks holding the crying Veronica in his embrace.

Suddenly Veronica seemed to come back in her rational way. She wiped her tears hurriedly and looked at Reuben who was looking up at the ceiling with gloomy eyes..

Everyone knew that compared to others, Reuben was the only one who was the most close to that particular person, even Veronica couldn't compare her friendship with the missing someone with Reuben's brotherhood to him. So after his disappearance, Reuben was the one to get hurt the most..

Veronica kissed his forehead and the tears on his cheeks which were silently falling from his eyes. She then kissed his eyes and took his head in her arms and get it buried in between her chest so that he could let out all those misery with the help of his tears. Reuben sobbed holding her waist with Veronica equally sobbing with him.
