As all of them were busy in congratulating the couple and laughing with each other while enjoying the teasings, a voice stopped them, "Sir... Here is your parcel.."
Reuben looked at the source of the voice and found the manager of the shop had come there himself along with another employee with a big parcel in their hands.
Veronica gestured Reuben with her eyes if it was the gift they were planning to give and when he nodded, Veronica's face bloomed into a beautiful smile.
"Aunty, can you tell someone to let them show the living room so that they could keep the parcel?" Veronica asked Mrs. Wilson while she just smiled and told one of the maids to show them the living room.
"You guys follow him." Reuben said to the two men who brought the parcel.
Lucinda looked confused and asked, "What is that?"
Veronica chuckled and replied, "A surprise.."
"What kind of surprise?" Myra asked, getting extremely excited.
Reuben grinned at her and said, "You guys will come to know after the party ends.."
----
After dinner, everyone started to leave. Even the elders also decided to go back to their respective homes, leaving the children alone.
"Myra.. Come on.. Let's leave." Alonzo said.
"Brother please wait for a few moments. I badly want to see what is in the parcel." Myra requested.
Alonzo was about to deny when Mr. Wilson interrupted him, "Come on young man.. Let her stay here.. I even suggest to all of you to stay for some more time here so that you guys can enjoy with your friends including Cole and his sister.."
Looking at Myra's expectant eyes, Alonzo finally agreed, "Fine.. We'll stay here for few more hours."
"Bro.. Even I want to stay here." Regina pleaded in her fake sweet accent.
Cole looked at her and then Myra who was standing beside Jack and talking with him animatedly.
Another pinch of jealousy revolted inside his heart and he said, "Okay.. we'll also stay here."
Veronica as usual ignored them as she really didn't want to waste her excitement by getting angry on these three. Instead she turned towards Myra to see if she was anywhere uncomfortable.
Surprisingly, Myra was busy talking with Jack as they kept laughing on some jokes while looking at each other. Veronica felt happy seeing her cousin with Myra, all happy and elated.
All of them seated on the couch with their respective partners, leaving Cole alone as Regina also chose to be seated beside Alonzo but her eyes never left Reuben.
"Now tell us, what's in that box?" Lucinda asked, couldn't able to hold her excitement anymore.
Veronica chuckled and told Reuben to open the box. But she was surprised to see not one but two boxes present there fully packed.
She looked at Reuben quizzically and asked, "Why two boxes?"
"Did you forget that there are two engaged couples instead of one now?" Reuben reminded her.
"Oh come on Bennie.. You know that I don't have any kind of amnesia so obviously I remember. Now answer me why is there two parcels. I only made one right?" Veronica asked hitting him softly on his chest.
Reuben chuckled at her and hold her hand before kissing her palm softly as he muttered in her ear, "You made two, my darling. It's just one for Lucinda and Henry…whereas the other for Willa and Neil. You decided to gift the gifts on their engagement day...
You only knew about Henry and Lucinda's engagement so you told me to prepare their gift. But as I gave the idea of proposal to Neil, so I knew about them beforehand. That's why I had also send their gifts to frame them.."
Veronica was totally impressed at Reuben's consideration so she kissed him on the lips and said, "Thanks babe. You are really the best."
Reuben grinned and pecked her nose before getting up from the couch so that he could hand the gifts to them.
"As I and Veronica already told you guys that you'll get your gift at the correct moment so here is it."
Reuben handed the red box to Henry and Lucinda and said, "This one is for you guys."
Veronica handed the orange box to Neil and Willa before stating, "This one is for you."
"Now open them together. I can't wait to see what's in those boxes that these two were being so secretive from the morning." Jack said.
"Yeah... I too want to see if their gifts are better than mine?" Louis said who got a smack on the back of his head by Reuben as he said, "Obviously.. it's hundred percent better than your stupid flower vase set."
"Ah bro!! You shouldn't say that.. Those are the antique ones which you can't get from some simple Shop…" Louis whined like a kid.
Willa interrupted them and said, "Okay guys.. Now stop. I really want to see the gift now."
Both of the couples started opening the covers and when the last piece of wrappers was also removed, they got extremely surprised by the extraordinary gift...
It was a big rectangular frame which was made of wood and designed with black crafts. It was looking extremely beautiful.
But the attraction of the gift was not the frame here but the couple portrait inside it.
Yes.. It was a beautifully painting of both of the couples. The portraits were so much accurate that it was looking very much alive. Every curves and tints were so perfect that it seemed to be a mirror image of the couples..
"Thank you.. Thank you so much Niccy. I just loved it." Lucinda said before hugging her tightly.
Willa also got up and hugged the two girls before saying, "Yes Vero. It's the best gift I can ever get. Thanks a lot.."
"Oh!! Hello.. Stop thanking her only. I'm the one who send it for framing and parceling. So leave some thank you for me also." Reuben said while pouting lightly.
Both Neil and Henry laughed at him and engulfed him in a bro hug before muttering, "Thank you so much bro. It was really very heartwarming.."
Diana and Myra were also looking at the portraits and became mesmerized by its artwork but then suddenly Myra noticed something which made her eyes broadened out like an elephant..
"You know the artist Nicope??"
