Chapter 199 - Innocent Protagonist or Cruel Antagonist... (2/2)

”You are back Alonzo.. I have so many things to tell you.” Alex exclaimed happily as Alonzo was the only one with whom he could be the most comfortable and behave like his true self.

Keeping his bag on the center table, Alonzo sat on the couch with Alex and asked, You seemed to be a lot happy today. What is the reason of it?”

Alex's cheeks became red in shyness as he muttered, ”You remember Alonzo, I told you about a girl whom I met at a coffee shop yesterday who collided with me mistakenly and both of our coffee got wasted.”

Alonzo nodded his head and asked, ”Yeah.. she even bought you back your coffee. So what about her?”

Chuckling at him, Alex replied, ”The same girl had started to attend our college from today for her project. She was placed here from city S for the mandatory project for the next six months.. And we..

We also became friends today. She also even protected me from that bad Mike. I'm so happy Alonzo that I got the very first friend of my life.”

Noticing the happiness in Alex's face, Alonzo also smiled at him and said, ”That's good. But did you tell her about our family? And what is her name?”

”No.. I didn't tell her anything about our family as you had refused me to. So I told her that I'm an orphan. And her name is Veronica Lopez. She is also very pretty.” Alex said in a childlike voice.

Alonzo patted his shoulder before saying, ”Good that you finally got a friend. But still, stay aware of your surroundings. I don't want something to happen to you.

And also, don't tell about our family to anyone till I ask you to do so. Now eat the pizza I've bought for you.” Alonzo showed him the pizza boxes which was from Alex's favourite restaurant.

Alex clapped his hands happily and started eating it while Alonzo muttered the name that would change their life in near future, ”Veronica Lopez.. Hmm.. Interesting!!”

----

Three months had passed by and Alonzo noticed the change in Alex's life. Alex seemed to be more outgoing with Veronica as he always talked about her to him..

That girl, Veronica was changing Alex day by day but all in a good way. Though Alonzo only heard about her from Alex but slowly slowly his interest level also getting peaked up everyday. Now he really wanted to see the girl whom Alex trusted so much with his heart..

”Alex.. I'm thinking that why don't I see who the girl Veronica is? So that I can be more sure about the fact that, she will not bring any harm to you ” Alonzo asked.

Alex looked at his brother and said smilingly, ”That would be definitely good, brother. I'll introduce you to my friend Vero. I'm sure you are also going to like her company.”

”No, Alex.. I didn't mean that. I will not meet her as we can't disclose about our relationship for now. I just want to see her from far. Do one thing…

You ask her to meet you at the riverbank where you both usually meet and I'll disguise myself as you to see what she looks like and what kind of person she actually is. She couldn't differentiate between both of us as we both look alike.” Alonzo suggested.
