Alex was feeling something more than a friendship for her.. It's more than a simple liking between two friends. But he was afraid to get rejected by her so he decided to ask his brother about it first..

He noticed that Alonzo was coming home late most of the days now and everytime he would return with a smile on his face.

So Alex asked Alonzo, "Brother, why are being all smiley nowadays? Anything special had happened to you?"

Taking a seat beside Alex, Alonzo turned his face towards him before grinning widely, he finally confessed, "Bro.. There is a big reason for my happy mood."

"Really? And what's the reason?" Alex asked happily seeing his brother in joy.

Right then Alonzo dropped the bond, looking at Alex with a grinning face, "Bro..

am in love."

"What? You are in love? Who is that lucky girl then?" Alex was very much happy for his brother that he was now in love with a girl but somewhere in his heart he was feeling a little bit uneasy as if his next words would be going to break all of his dreams that he had planned.

Breathing slowly, Alonzo looked directly in Alex's eyes and said, "You will be the happiest person after you come to know about the girl because you're the one who had given me the chance to meet the most beautiful girl of the world and gave me the opportunity to spend time with her in your absence..

I'm.. I'm in love with Veronica, Alex.. I've fallen very deeply for her that there is no way to return back.."

*crash*

With this single confession, the hope in Alex's heart had been shattered down into many tiny pieces and he felt like he had lost the most precious person of his heart in a mere second...

His dream was now lying in a blood pool with scratches and thorns...

Today, Alex also had decided to declare his love to his brother but before that could happen, Alonzo had snatched his words from him. He badly wanted to yell on Alonzo that he was also feeling something more than liking for Veronica..

But when he saw the glitters in his brother's eyes which were sparkling like stars, he refused to tell Alonzo about his feelings. He had never seen his brother so much happy before the day he had started to meet Veronica.

Alonzo had done so many things for his betterment that there was no turning back.. 

Even he fought with their father for him so that he could live a peaceful life like others. He even declined the offer of his higher studies abroad just because of Alex's wellbeing...

Then how could he not forget his feelings towards Veronica for Alonzo??

It would be so little compared to what Alonzo did for him..

He would not betray his brother..

Not at any cost..

Suppressing his sorrow and the pain in his heart, Alonzo weakly smiled and said, "Congratulations brother. I'm so much happy for you. I think Veronica would suit you really well."

As soon as he said this, Alonzo pulled him into a tight brotherly hug and muttered softly, " Thanks.. Thank you so much Alex for letting me meet Vero. I hope you'll support us till the end. Right buddy?"

Alex nodded a little and assured him, "I'll always support you brother. You are the most important person in my life."

----

Two days later, Alonzo had gone to meet Veronica and Alex had followed him behind so that for once he would be able to see by his own eyes that how much Alonzo had become closer to Veronica.

He saw both of them talking and laughing heartily and he knew right at this moment that his brother was the best for her..

Alonzo was very much smart, handsome and even good in studies.. He was even very much capable to handle a big company like Brown Corporation as their father had already given him shares of his company and many assets..

So it would be better for the three of them if he didn't interfere in their lives anymore and let everything leave like this how it was at that moment..

Two weeks passed by and Alex couldn't hold the urge in himself to meet Veronica for at least once. So when Alonzo was working on his laptop one night, he slowly entered his room.

Sitting beside him, Alex asked, "Alonzo.. Can I request you something?"

Alonzo looked at him with his raised eyebrows and said, "Cone on Alex. You don't have to request anything from me. Just tell me what you want and I'll hand you everything without a shake of head."

"Actually bro. I want to meet Vero for the last time. Can I please?" Alex stuttered.

Sighing deeply, Alonzo asked, "Why are requesting me for just this? She is your friend first, then mine...

And I'm also thinking to tell her the truth of us being twins after I come back from my trekking. We'll both go together and make her shock by our same appearances. Hahaha.. It'll be great fun to watch her all shocked and surprised.."

Alex also nodded happily thinking that, after they disclose the truth at least he wouldn't have to hide anymore and both the brothers could hang out with Veronica freely.

Beaming with joy, Alex replied, "Then I'll wait for you to come back. By the way, when are you going?"

"I'll leave tomorrow afternoon and come back three days later. Why don't you meet her tomorrow?" Alonzo suggested.

"Okay. Then, I'll call her now." Alex said after taking his phone back from Alonzo which he was using from past months.

"Hmm... I have few things to buy for the trekking so I'm going to the mall now. You lock the door properly." Alonzo left after saying this..

Alex nodded his head and locked the door as per his brother's instructions. He then entered his bedroom again and called Veronica with a heavy heart...
