Chapter 163 - A witless bet... (1/2)
”You.. You are Veronica's boyfriend that she was talking about?” Alonzo stuttered.
Veronica glared at him with red eyes and replied, ”Yes.. Bennie.. I mean Reuben is the boyfriend I was talking about who is my love, life, heartbeat.. Everything..”
”But how.. how could that be possible? Aren't both of you some kind of moral enemies? Don't you guys always fight each other?” Alonzo continued stuttering still trying to grasp everything which were happening around him.
Chuckling at Alonzo's question, Reuben fell the biggest bomb on him when he spoke, ”Well, we're not any enemy but the most affectionate lovers, Alonzo.. And about fighting... We don't fight, we just bicker.. which is very much necessary to keep a relationship healthy.”
Alonzo couldn't still trust any of his ears or eyes. He just kept gaping at the couple who were embracing each other lovingly and asked, ”That means, all the hate you showed for each other, the fights that you portrayed, everything was nothing but just a mere act..”
”We never acted Alonzo. We just hid our relationship from the whole world for some of our personal reasons..
But the hiding period is also now over cause very soon everyone is going to know the actual relation between us… that we were never some stupid enemies.. but a power couple who love each other so much that one blink from one's eye was enough to express the inner feeling of each other..” This time it was Veronica who proudly described their relationship, staring at the man she had ever loved in her life..
While the loving couple was drowned in their own world, Alonzo couldn't express what tornado was brewing inside his heart and mind...
The hurt he was feeling, seeing Veronica in another man's arms, the love in her eyes while staring at Reuben, was making him feel like the most precious possession of him was going far away from him..
It was making him feel utmost pain from inside..
Understanding that Alonzo was not able to talk anymore, Reuben whispered in Veronica's ears, ”Honey.. can you please go and inform the manager that we're leaving. Then wait for me at the parking lot..”
Veronica looked at him hesitantly but when Reuben gave her an assuring smile, she left the place, glancing at the two men for the last time..
After Veronica was gone from their sight, Reuben thrusted his hands into his pockets and warned Alonzo, ”I was ignoring all of your shits from the past few days. You had only given pain and tears to my Veronica in those days but I never for once jeopardize you. But now...
Now all the limit of my patience had broken when you tried to harass my Ica. I was staying mum all these days because I wanted to give Ica the freedom to handle your matters as you were a good friend of hers once.
But today I'm breaking my oath to her that I'll not meddle into your stuffs. So I'm warning you for the first yet last time, if I again see that you are hurting my Ica then I'll make you regret about your own existence in this world.”
Alonzo who was hearing silently to Reuben, suddenly spoke up, ”Whatever I did to her was not even a penny in return of how much I got hurt. But yaa.. Now I can challenge you one thing.. that I'll gain my Veronica back.
