"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.."

"What the hell do you mean? I never.."

Again Alonzo cut Veronica in the middle and said, "Let me finish, Veronica."

Veronica became quite whereas Reuben fisted his fingers in a ball out of anger which Veronica noticed and covered his hand with hers..

"Okay.. you finish first then I'll start from my point of view.." Veronica said calmly and gestured Reuben through her eyes to stay calm..

Nodding his head, Alonzo started to tell what happened after Alex came back from riverbank after meeting Veronica..

-----

Five years ago...

Alex returned home and met someone that night. After they left, he sat there with a sad expression and locked himself in his room.. He wept badly after lying on her bed..

Alonzo also got back home when he noticed that Alex was not anywhere and his room was locked. He went towards his room and knocked on the door.

"Alex.. can you please open the door?" Alonzo knocked..

"Alex.. Open the door buddy.."

He continued banging the door and finally after almost ten minutes, Alex unlocked the door with red teary eyes.

"What.. What happened to you Alex? Why are you crying again?" Alonzo asked.

Alex didn't reply and just entered his room, being followed by Alonzo as both of them sat on his bed..

Few minutes later, Alex stopped crying and drank some water before turning towards Alonzo.

"Alonzo.. You know that today I met Vero and she told me something about you.." Alex said facing Alonzo.

Alonzo was confused first but still asked, "I understand. But what did she say?"

"Vero.. She confessed her feelings to me or more like her feelings towards you. She told me that she loves you.. I mean she thought that you and me are same and confessed her love.." Alex said.

"What? Veronica confessed? But why are you saying she confessed her love towards me?" Alonzo asked being puzzled.

Alex closed his eyes taking a deep breath and said, "Its very simple Alonzo. The first few months when I was with her she never ever looked at me more than a friend. But after you started to meet her, she suddenly confessed me. Isn't it con… confusing?

Moreover, I wanted to be sure whom she actually love? Me or you? So.. so I asked her that why she started to love me.."

Alonzo was nervous but was still hopeful to hear Alex's answer when Alex continued, "Veronica told me that she liked how I had changed after the first three months of our meeting. She liked the new Alex, not the previous one. And she fell for the later Alex's charm which was surely not me..

So it's you Alonzo.. She loves you like how you love her."

Hearing this, Alonzo was on cloud nine and started to jump on the floor crazily and hugged Alex tightly, "Oh.. I'm so happy Alex.  I'm so much happy that she loves me back. I'll meet her tomorrow and confessed everything to her about us along with you."

Alonzo was so much in joy that he became selfish without even remembering the fact that Alex was crying like hell when he approached him. He was so much into celebrating his own happiness that he forgot that his brother's eyes were still red and puffy..

After dinner, both of them entered their room and slept off without knowing that the next day would be the last day the brothers would see each other for the last time..

----

Alonzo woke up very early the next day with a very happy mood..

He was on top of the world, thinking about yesterday night when Alex had informed him about his love, Veronica's confession to him.. 

Alonzo quickly got ready before knocking on Alex's door. But even after twenty minutes, Alex didn't opened the door.

There was not even a single sound coming from inside which made Alonzo really scared..

Getting panicked, Alonzo got out the extra pair of keys of Alex's room and opened the door hurriedly to find a sleeping Alex on the bed. 

He sighed in relief after seeing his peaceful face which reflected only purity and innocence..

With small and quite steps, he went near his bed and stood in front of him..

Patting his cheek and shaking him lightly, Alonzo tried to wake him up, "Alex, wake up bro. Did you forget that we have to meet Vero today and clear all the misunderstanding between the three of us? Alex come on bro.."

Still Alex didn't reply or not even stirred a little. Alonzo shook hus head, thinking that his brother really loved to sleep much and smiled to himself..

If it was another day, Alonzo would bother Alex to wake up so early.. But today was an important day when he was going to confess his love to Veronica, so he hadn't any other option than waking him up..

"Alex.. Get up yeah buddy.." He again called him..

But even after so much nudging and shouting, when Alex didn't wake up, Alonzo found it quite unobvious... 

Scrutinizing his body he noticed that he was lying like a limp figure and his chest was not rising up and down even a little..

Fear crept in Alonzo's heart as he kept his fingers in front of his nose to check if he was breathing or not but to his horror, he wasn't.. 

His pulse was not even working.. 

When he still didn't get up he was about to take the glass of water to splash on him when he saw a bottle of sleeping pills with a letter tucked under it..

The bottle of pills were half emptied and he remembered that Alex had not been prescribed it by the doctor..

With his hands shaking badly, Alonzo opened the letter, holding his breath in his lungs and read it..

"Dear Alonzo,

I know that you love me very much and I love you too. Whatever I'm writing in this letter, will express my feelings to you…

I know that you love Veronica very much but truthfully I also started loving her from the day I met her first time, without my knowledge. But I suppressed my feelings because of you and tried to move over her... 

But yesterday when Vero told me about her love towards you, I couldn't take it more.. So I decided to end my life.

It's not anyone's fault.. Neither yours, nor mine.. It's the fault of just the time being.. Don't mourn over me because of my death and promise me one thing..

Promise me that you are going to win Vero's heart. I want both of you to live as a couple and stay happily for the rest of your life.. This will be my last wish to you..

With love,

Your twin Alex.."

Tears started pooling out from Alonzo's eyes.. He couldn't believe what he was reading but he was not in a mood to think about anything as he just lost one of the most precious person of his life...

Couldn't able to control his emotions, he looked at the frozen figure and cried out his brother's name loudly, letting the walls of the room realise his sorrow about what he had just lost..

"Aleeeeexxxxx..."
