Noticing that Veronica was losing her patience and Alonzo was still not ready to spill out the truth, Reuben revealed in a steady voice...
"Because Alex is no more. He had left the world five years ago…"
*gasp*
Loud gasps could be heard from each and every corner of the room as the girls stared at Reuben with widened eyes whereas the boys had a confused looks on their faces as they didn't know that a twist like this would be suddenly presented in front of them..
On the other hand, Alonzo was the most shocked person among everyone. He was unable to think how had Reuben come to know about this when he had personally hid this matter very securely..
The room was quite silent for almost five minutes as none could understand what was actually happening..
Veronica had also kept mum and her face was all scrunched up as if she still couldn't process the whole thing. When finally everything knocked into her mind, she decided to break the eerie silence..
"What.. what are you saying? Al.. Alex is dead?" Veronica stuttered as she couldn't believe what was Reuben saying..
"Is Alex really dead?" Veronica asked the question looking at Alonzo this time.
Veronica's questions didn't get any reply as Alonzo just kept quiet while tears continued to fall from his eyes.
Seeing him in this state, Veronica was absolutely certain that the fact she didn't want to believe was absolutely true and her once good friend was really no more...
Just thinking about this, Veronica's whole body shuddered and drops of tears started to stream out of her beautiful dark brown eyes...
Reuben was very much aware that Veronica was feeling immense pain inside her heart as he was noticing her every movement and expression from the moment he told everyone about Alex's death.
Though she was undoubtedly a strong woman but she was also a human who always had all pent up emotions in her heart, who cared about those persons whom she had thought of as good friends or families.. It didn't matter to her that if those persons were returning her affection and care back or not to her..
Her eyes were now completely red along with her cheeks and her forehead was scrunched up in few thin lines out of complete agony.. The sharp nose of her was flaring out of frustration and dejection..
Whatever the matter must be, Reuben's only weak point was to see his Ica in pain and right at that moment, Veronica was beyond very hurt after hearing the news and her eyes were enough to convey her pain to everyone...
But being a specialist to understand her very much, Reuben very well knew that Veronica was not only suffering from extreme torment rather she was a whole lot of remorseful for whatever had happened to Alex. She was internally blaming herself for the sudden turn of events..
Couldn't able to stand anymore to see his love in pain, Reuben hugged her tightly in his arms and kissed the top of her head, mumbling soothing words to console her, "Ica.. I know honey that you're accusing yourself for Alex's death but trust me it's not your fault. It was just the circ.u.mstances alongside someone's dirty planning.."
Reuben said the last part in an anger filled voice which didn't go unnoticed by Veronica..
Veronica was crying very badly in Reuben's consoling arms. All the happenings around her was quite unexpected and very hard to believe. So she just continued weeping like a baby in the comfort of Reuben's arms..
But when Reuben mentioned that Alex's death might be someone's dirty plans, Veronica stopped crying and looked up at Reuben before asking, " What do you mean by someone's dirty planning?"
"I'll tell you everything but first, you need to know the complete story about Alex. " Reuben said.
"There is more to listen?" Veronica asked with a confused face.
Reuben nodded at her and asked Alonzo, "Will you please explain why Alex had died now?"
Alonzo finally controlled himself after being asked of the reason of his brother's death. He laughed out loud and said sarcastically, "You want to know? You really want to know? It's because of your girlfriend, my brother had died. I wanted to hate her so much for his death but this stupid heart didn't listen to my mind and continued loving her even after she forced my brother to the deathbed.."
"What the f.u.c.k are you saying Alonzo? How could I cause Alex's death when I was not even there in city B?" Veronica yelled at him, feeling she had been accused wrongly.
Leaving a mocking laugh, Alonzo said, "Yes... You were not there when he died. But you already did your deed before leaving our city B which resulted Alex to leave his last breath."
All the patience and calmness, Reuben was holding till now, got shattered at the exact moment when Alonzo blamed the love of his life for an allegation which she had never committed and his fury raised in a high spirit specially after seeing Veronica all exhausted because of the wrong charges against her...
"Shut the f.u.c.k up Alonzo. One more word against her and I swear you'll not be alive to say anything else." Reuben burst out, venting all his conserved anger..
Everyone except Veronica, jolted up after hearing the calm Reuben to suddenly snap out like this..
Alonzo fisted the fork on the table and fumed in anger, "Okay. Then let me tell you what caused by brother to sleep in a deathbed so young.."
Taking a deep breath, Alonzo asked Veronica, "Do you remember that my brother had wanted to meet you at the riverbank, the day before you leave city B?"
Veronica's mind quickly diverted towards that day which she never wanted to remind again.. But she also can't erase it from her mind too..
How could Veronica forget that day which had forced her to depart from city B without seeing Alex for the last time??
She could never...
So she nodded her head and affirmed, "Yes, I clearly remember that day but suddenly Alex messaged me that he couldn't…"
Before Veronica could finish her sentence, Alonzo interrupted her midway, "He went to meet you at the riverbank that day. He stayed there sitting alone for almost one hour but you didn't come...
Finally after another fifteen minutes of his patiently waiting, you came there and confessed your feelings about me to him.."
