As soon as her eyes fell on the intruder who was none other than Reuben, she shrieked in an almost loud voice, "You.... What are you doing here?? Most specifically, why are you here??"
Reuben smirked looking at her horrified face and said, "First of all, I can come here any time I want. Secondly, the reason I came here is…"
He stopped and looked at Veronica with a serious face and put his hand on her head, slowly caressing her hair.
Veronica also stared back at him with a amazed expression as she felt the soothing touch of Reuben's fingers in her hair which was giving her a kind of comfortable feeling as she closed her eyes to feel it more eternally.
Reuben stopped the movement of his fingers, making Veronica open her eyes as he whispered in a low voice, "I came here to.....pull your hair..."
Saying that he pulled her hair strands with a little force which made Veronica yell in utter pain, "Ahhhhhh...."
"Hahaha.. It was so fun to torture you.." Reuben almost fell off the bed while laughing.
Veronica rubbed her scalp while giving him deadly glares as she growled at him, "You idiot!! You came here to make fun of me.. Get lost right now before I kill you."
"Vero...very bad habit. Didn't I always warn you not to behave this rudely with my son Reuben? But you never listen to me."
Before Reuben could retort back at Veronica, Mrs. Lopez entered Veronica's room with a tray in her hand and scolded her daughter for the bad behaviour.
"Come on Mom. Now you don't start please. You don't know what had this idiot done with me. He pulled…." Veronica tried to complain but was stopped by Mrs. Lopez as she glared at her daughter, daring her to say anything more.
Veronica puffed her cheeks in anger and folded her hand while Reuben just grinned at her slyly.
Mrs. Lopez kept the tray on the table and told Reuben, "Come on dear. Don't waste your time fighting with her and eat these tasty snacks. I made your favourite french fry and chicken lollipop for you.."
Reuben drooled, smelling the yummy fragrance of his favourite snacks. Rubbing his hands together excitedly like a kid, he pounced on the food and started crunching the French fries and chicken lollipops.
Veronica gawked at him and then posted towards her mother, "You only bought these for him? Where is mine?"
"Obviously, she won't bring anything for you as she loves me the most." Reuben teased Veronica as he dipped the fries into the sauce before munching it happily.
"Mom…." Veronica whined making both Reuben and Mrs. Lopez laugh at her.
"You go wash your face first. I've also brought snacks for you." Mrs. Lopez said showing her another plate.
Veronica stuck her tongue out at Reuben before heading towards the washroom while Reuben just felt joy in his heart seeing her naughty side again.
Mrs. Lopez sighed at her daughter and said, "Okay Reuben. You talk with Vero. I'm going downstairs. And you are leaving after dinner. I won't hear no from you. Understand?"
Reuben nodded his head accepting the amazing proposal of having Mrs. Lopez's handmade tasty food and said, "No problem Aunt.."
After Mrs. Lopez left, Veronica also walked out of the washroom and sat beside Reuben before eating her own snacks while Reuben just kept looking at her with a smile.
Veronica noticed it and asked, "What?"
Shaking his head in a negative way, Reuben said, "Nothing…"
After they were done with eating, Reuben started, "Vero... I want to tell you something."
Veronica looked at him with a puzzled expression and nodded her head, signaling him to continue whatever he want to say.
Taking a deep breath, Reuben said, "I know Andrew brother's death was a big shock for you. But we can't just grief over that for our whole life. We need to be normal again...right?"
Hearing about Andrew, Veronica's eyes filled with tears but she still nodded her head when she understood that Reuben was indeed right. She really had to forget the dreadful day of their lives and had to move on with positivity...
Reuben saw her tears and hugged her tightly in his soothing embrace. He wiped the tears which were wetting her fair cheeks and kissed her forehead.
"Do you think Andrew bro would be happy if he see all of us grimacing over his death, losing our happiness on the way??
The answer is No.. He would never like to see his sister mourning over him for her whole life. So please smile at least to respect him." Reuben said very softly to her.
Veronica smiled at him and wiped the lone tear from Reuben's cheek which had betrayed him and fell from his eyes, totally unbeknownst to him...
"You also miss him, right? I know that he was your favourite also. You loved him as your own brother and his death was also shocking for you...
I also know that, you're getting immense pain in your heart but you're trying to suppress it. But let me tell you one thing Ben… You don't have to hide your tears from me…
You can cry as much you want. I promise I'll not tell anyone anything about you being a crybaby for once. This secret will be kept hidden between just both of us till our last breath.." Veronica said, cupping his left cheek in her palm and looking into his eyes.
The pain, hurt, remorse and guilty feeling that Reuben was feeling from all these months finally came out into tears after hearing Veronica's soothing words.
Reuben broke into tears as he pulled Veronica into a tight hug , keeping his hands around her waist and placing his head onto her shoulder sobbing loudly.
Veronica also joined him as she too accompany him in crying. Both of them kept hugging each other in their protective embraces as if their life depended on it...
Few minutes later when finally they poured out all of their emotions towards each other, they finally pulled themselves out but their gazes were locked to each other.
Both of them leaned forward towards each other unconsciously as their noses slowly touched. Their lips also came forward more to each other and few seconds later, their lips were just few inches apart…
