Both of them had a quick eye lock which were glistening brightly with the lights illuminating from the candles. Still looking at her beautiful face, Reuben slowly kneeled down in front of her before taking her hands in her…
Veronica was momentarily stupefied with Reuben's sudden action. Her beautiful doe like dark brown eyes which were expressing her excitement till now, had widened like a big saucer..
However her trance got broken when she felt a light squeeze under her palm. Reuben fondled her palm a little to bring her back to the world when he noticed that...even though her body was there but her mind had been flying to somewhere else...
After she gave her attention back to Reuben, he smiled at her and said, "Yeah.. I'm calling you Ica now. And I never called you with this name because I wasn't sure if you'd like me to call you by this name. And one more reason was…
I thought that giving you different name from others would be not much acceptable as we were nothing more than simple friends. I really tried to suppress my true feelings for you but now I can't anymore…"
"What are you talking about?" Veronica asked in almost a whisper.
Reuben immediately placed his index finger on her lips to stop her from talking more and said, "Shhhh!! No more questions. Let me finish first and then you can decide if I deserve to call you Ica or not…"
Veronica didn't say anything but just kept looking at his eyes which was a signal for Reuben to continue with his confession.
Taking a deep breath while closing his eyes, Reuben finally calmed all his nervous veins and stared directly into Veronica's confused yet curious eyes...
Still kneeling on the ground, he started speaking out all of his pending emotions in his heart, "Ica… Do you know when I first saw you twenty years ago…you were only one month old that time and so much little like a doll…
When I lightly pinched your cheeks, instead of crying like other child, you gave me a cute toothless smile. And my little two years self decided to protect you right from that moment onwards. Though I don't know from where I got the confidence in that small age."
Veronica chuckled remembering the moment when she gave him her first smile.
Yes..!!!
She remembered that special day...
But not from her childhood memories. She saw the video clip which her father had recorded secretly.
Not only that single moment but each and every little things like her first word, her crawl, her walk, her playing with friends…everything was recorded by her father as for Nr. Lopez, his daughter was his everything...
Reuben grinned seeing her smile and continued, "After that, years passed by. Our bond got stronger with our small bickering and funny fights. But still I didn't forget the promise that I did to myself about protecting you…
Now I'm requesting you to give me the right to protect you from all the evilness in the world for our whole lifetime…not as a friend but something more.."
Veronica's lips dried with anticipation as she already started guessing about what to come next..
Reuben saw her nervous state and caressed her arms before proposing her with all of his heart, soul and body filled with only love for her and confessed, "Ms. Veronica Lopez.. Give me the permission to care for you, to call you with a special name 'Ica'.. Give me the chance of being your boyfriend…"
"I love you, Ica... Be my girlfriend, Love.." Finally the most beautiful words slipped out from Reuben's mouth.
Veronica's heartbeat quickened in an abnormal speed and she forgot to take her breath. Her face lost all of her emotions and only a shock stricken expression covered it...
She expected Reuben to say that he liked her. But she never imagined him to profess his love for her so soon..
Most of all, she wasn't able to comprehend with the truth that Reuben also loved her like the way she did. She thought that she would take her own time to make him fall in love with her but he was already so much in love with her from the first..
Tears started to run down on her eyes making Reuben panic as he quickly wiped it off before covering it with his babbling, "Ica.. Please don't cry. Your tears really heart me. I truly don't know when I've started falling for you, but I know that my love for you is the most purest emotion of my life...
You don't have to answer me right at this moment. You can take your own time to decide over the matter. I really can wait for you. But remember one thing…
Whatever your decision might be…our friendship would remain the same. I would not allow you to…"
Before he could finish, a strong force attacked him, making him stumble a little but he balanced himself and sat on the ground with a undesirable look.
Veronica pounced on him without letting Reuben complete and hugged him as tightly as possible and started sobbing on his chest..
Wrapping her hands around him, he whispered in his ears while sniffling, "I love you too Reuben. I love you so so much that I can't express my love to you just by words."
Reuben was dumbfounded with her confession of love for him that he just chose to sit there lifelessly for a few minutes...
But when finally the actual meaning of her words got into his head, he detached her from his body and asked with hope filled eyes, "Really? You love me back? This is not a dream…is it??"
Veronica laughed at him and said cupping his face, "Yes.. Mr. Reuben Smith. I'm also deeply in love with you. I love you very very much."
Reuben had no bounds for his happiness as he didn't waste his time anymore and engulfed Veronica in a tight hug before muttering sensuously in her ears, "I love you too Ica. Wait! I can call you Ica from now on, right?"
