Smith Enterprise…
Tom entered in a hurry in Reuben's office and said, "Boss, I've prepared the thing you have told me to. Now, you just have to choose the design of the invitation card and we'll then proceed with it."
Reuben looked at the five designs which had been shortlisted by Tom but none of them peaked his interest as if there was something missing in them.
When suddenly an awesome idea clicked in his mind, "Tom, do one thing. Combined the designs of these two cards together but changed the colour pattern from peac.o.c.k blue to prusian blue and replace the white with cream colour."
Tom took the two cards that Reuben handed him and he was impressed with the idea. If he made the card as per Reuben's suggestion, then he was sure it'd look very much unique and extra beautiful...
With a smile on his face, Tom said, "Sure Boss. It's a really good idea."
Reuben smiled back and said, "Don't forget to decorate the whole place with Ica's favourite flowers."
"Okay sir." Tom said before leaving his office for the further work.
After Tom left, Reuben called someone and a sweet voice of a middle aged woman resonated in his air.
"Yes, son." Mrs. Lopez said.
"Mom, I've something to tell both you and dad. I'll also call my parents for it. But don't inform it to Ica as we have to keep it a secret." Reuben said.
Mrs. Lopez furrowed both of her eyebrows in confusion and asked, "But why son? Why do we have to keep it a secret?"
"Mom, I'll tell you everything later. But at first, I need to inform my parents too." Reuben said.
"Okay. No problem. Then do one thing, come tonight at our home for dinner along with your parents." Mrs. Lopez gave him a good suggestion.
But Reuben denied the idea, "That'll be great mom. But I can't meet you today because Ica will definitely doubt me if I do so Why don't we do one thing??
Ica will be out with her friends this Saturday morning and will not be back home till late afternoon.
So let's meet on Saturday at your place. I'll bring my parents with me too. You please inform Dad about our plan and tell him to keep it as a secret also."
Mrs. Lopez smiled knowing that something is cooking in his future son-in-law's head as she said, "Okay. Planning final then."
Reuben chuckled and said, "Bye Mom. Talk to you later."
After that, he called his own mother and shouted, "Mooooooommmmmmm…"
Mrs. Smith almost dropped the phone from her hand when she heard the shrilling voice of her son...
"Yaaaaa.. Are you planning to make your mom deaf in this early age?" Mrs. Smith shouted back.
"Sorry Mom. Actually...I've a great news to tell you. Please meet me at Lopez mansion, this Saturday morning with dad. And keep it a secret specially from your future daughter-in-law." Reuben said.
"Wait...wait...wait... Why I'm feeling like you're planning something big?" Mrs. Smith said with raised eyebrows.
Reuben chuckled and said with a same teasing voice, "Because I'm indeed planning something big."
"Ah.. Now I'm getting excited. Tell me what's the surprise." Mrs. Smith said excitedly.
"Mom... You yourself said that it's a surprise then how can I reveal it now. Wait for few days. You'll come to know about it soon." Reuben was not at all ready to reveal anything.
"At least give me some kind of clue or hint." Mrs. Smith pouted like a child.
Reuben laughed out loud and said, "Mom, you're being unreasonable now. I'm not going to disclose anything so soon."
"One clue please." Mrs. Lopez demanded or more like pleaded in a childlike voice.
"Nothing." Reuben immediately denied.
"You are being a bad son now."
"But you'll tell me that I'm the best son of the world after I reveal my plan to you on this Saturday." Reuben said.
"Okay... I lost." Mrs. Smith sighed in a defeat.
"And I won." Reuben grinned.
Both of the mother son duo bickered a little bit more before finally hanging up...

Alonzo's Apartment...
Myra was being restless now as Alonzo called her earlier this afternoon that Cole and Regina would be visiting them at the evening and they altogether would have some dinner.
Alonzo told her to order some food and she did so cause she was in no mood to cook any dishes.
She was praying to God not to make her heart weak again after seeing Cole's face so that she could stay strong and protect herself from another heartbreak and at that right moment...the doorbell rang.
Taking a few deep breaths, hoping it's just Alonzo, she opened the door and relaxed
"Welcome home brother." Myra said.
"Thanks Myra. Let me freshen up a bit. Cole will be here anytime." Alonzo informed before entering his room.
Myra nodded and started to heat the foods.
She was about to serve them on the table when the doorbell rang again, making her heart leapt in a mixture of fear and excitement...
Taking few deep breaths, Myra tried to calm herself but failed miserably. She placed her hand on the kitchen cabinet to balance herself so that she didn't fall on the floor out of nervousness.
The doorbell rang again, making Myra more stressed but she knew that she had to open the door either way and face them..
She already escaped from him by coming here in city S but she couldn't always do this.
She remembered Veronica, how much strong she was even when she came to knew about both of her brothers' betrayal as she tried to be like her...
Finding the strength in herself finally, Myra slowly walked towards the door and kept her right hand on the doorknob. But this was also the truth that Veronica had Reuben with her to give her all support in that difficult time.
And here was the exact opposite situation... where Myra was trying hard not to face her boyfriend or rather ex-boyfriend Cole…
Closing her eyes for the last time, she took a long deep breath and with her shivering hand, she turned the doorknob to finally open it wide...
