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?"

"What? But how can I meet with both of them at the same time? Because as per my past memories, I only met one guy at a time there and that's Alex.." Veronica's brain was not working at all so she asked whatever came into her mind.

Reuben patted her head and said, "Did you forget honey that Alex and Alonzo were identical twins. And both of them took that exact advantage of their same face to play with your kindness and manipulated you badly."

"My brother hadn't done anything wrong. It's only me who took place of Alex and acted like him to befriend you." Alonzo yelled all of a sudden.

"Oh my God.!! it's getting too much confusing right now. Can anyone please describe us what is exact truth. It's too much frustrating to hear everything still with a question mark. I want to know whole of the story." Lucinda showed her irritation.

Looking at Alonzo, Reuben asked, "So Alonzo, who should tell the truth? Me or you yourself?"

Alonzo shook his head to stop Reuben and said, "As I'm the main protagonist among all of these incidents then I'll be the one to narrate everything."

"Whether you are just an innocent protagonist or a cruel antagonist, we'll decide about it after we heard everything from you. So just stop your drama and continue." Veronica snapped at Alonzo angrily.

"Yeah.. It's completely in our hand to decide about your character. Because whatever you had done till now, hadn't showed any good influence on us." Willa mocked and Neil agreed with her.

"So Alonzo don't waste our precious time and just spill it." Louis said.

Henry looked at his watch and said, "Your time starts from now."

Alonzo felt the pressure on him and then turned towards his sister to see her crying hysterically…

Taking a deep breath, he started to remember all the incidents that had happened five and half years ago which led them to here today…

----

Five and half years ago..

Alonzo got back from his University at evening and found his brother smiling to himself. He was so busy in himself that he hadn't noticed that Alonzo had already arrived which had never happened after he started to live with Alonzo..

"Good evening Alex. Why are you smiling like that?" Alonzo asked with a small smile on his face.

Alex stopped beaming and looked at his brother. When he saw Alonzo, he immediately ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

"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.
