"I'll give you the answer… Brown family had some kind of superstitions like they can't tell about their baby's birth until one month had completed to protect the child. Same happened with Alex and Alonzo..." Reuben said.
"They hadn't told the public about their birth as they had planned to inform about it after the physical check-up of both of the children.
Sadly their plan had been ruined when Mr. Brown found about Alex's brain problem.
He pressurised both his mother and wife to keep it as a secret that Mrs. Brown had given birth to twins and then only introduced Alonzo as their only heir till Alex had come out of his issues.." Reuben cleared the confusion in everyone's mind.
"How.. how could a father do this? Isn't Alex also his child? It shouldn't matter to him if he was normal like other child or not. Because a father's love would always have to be unconditional." Willa said.
"Moreover, Alex was just a one month baby that time..!!" Lucinda added in a sad voice..
Alonzo left a heavy breath and said, "The love for their child could only be unconditional when the father isn't as cruel as our dad. He never had the feeling of love in his heart for anyone. For him, only money and power is the thing which has the most of priority in his life..
Myra was two years old when Alex had been sent to asylum and she couldn't remember him because she was too much little then. Actually, if anyone had loved Myra with his all, then it'll be Alex. He loved her even more than I had ever loved her..."
Leaving a big sigh, Alonzo continued with the the story of their family's past, "But he had to go far away from us when he was just five years old. Years had passed but no one in our family was allowed to meet him. Our mother cried every night and begged to see him but dad never agreed to her." Alonzo felt a tear escaped from his eyes as he reminsced about those hurtful days.
Reuben saw it and then continued, "Six years later, when the brothers were eleven years old, Alex had been discharged from the hospital and only then both Alex and Mrs. Brown was allowed to meet him whereas Myra was left with her grandmother in their house.
Mr. Brown was happy that finally he could introduce their another heir to the world but his dream crushed when he was informed that though Alex's brain damage had been cured but still he would not behave like other normal child. He would be slower than others to cope up with everything which Mr. Brown couldn't able to take in..."
Myra interfered Reuben in his talk and asked with pain stricken face, "That's mean, my another brother Alex still had some difficulties with his health and our Dad again did something to hurt him??"
Reuben nodded at her and narrated, "Yes, you are right. But this time, what your dad had done, was really harsh and cruel...
He had grounded him in his another home far away from the city with well protected guards so that none could meet him. In the fear of losing his business, he didn't even wince for a single time to take the big decision and for years after years, Alex had been captivated in that strictly prohibited house alone."
"How could be my father so cruel? He can't be. I can't believe it.." Myra sobbed.
"If this is the truth then why didn't you protect Alex from your father?" Veronica suddenly asked looking at Alonzo.
Alonzo tilted up his face and described, "I was very small then. If I would say anything then Dad would threat me with Alex's life. So I decided that I have to become big and powerful to protect him. That's why, I started to study very attentively.
Finally I had turned 20, when I found Alex after one year of hard searching. I put him out of the cage and settled him in one of the house I bought before hiring few bodyguards for him. I went to visit him every evening and came to know that he was interested in gaming..
Dad found out about him going missing and confronted me but I blackmailed him with the shares of the company that he had given me when I turned 18 so he stopped for the meantime.
One year later, Dad forced me to go abroad for my higher education but I didn't want to leave Alex alone there because I was sure that after I leave, dad would definitely find about his address.."
As Alonzo stopped again, Reuben continued, "That's why you faked a boarding pass to country M and opted to stay with your brother for those two years while enrolling your name in city B's best Business University. You took a disguise and started living it off very well."
Alonzo knew that there was no way of him escaping the topic. So he just closed his eyes to calm his mind of the frustrating yet saddening emotions that he was graving in his heart now..
Veronica who heard everything from both Reuben and Alonzo silently, thought over all the previous occurances in city B.
She became more puzzled ruminating the past as she couldn't able to suppress her queries and asked, "Then which one of the brothers I had met in city B? Alex or Alonzo?"
Then remembering something, Veronica said, "It must be Alex because according to your description, Alex fixed in the image perfectly. He was a little abnormal and also loved gaming. It's Alex.. Isn't it?"
Veronica kept looking at Reuben expectantly for the answer, whereas he just sighed deeply and hugged her more tightly to his chest but what he said the next, made everyone specially Veronica more conflicted..
"No Ica.. It's not only Alex whom you had met in city B, because Alonzo also met with you for many times. Am I not right Alonzo?"
