Veronica gave them a smile and hugged her four parents who kissed her on the forehead and cheeks before she asked, "Where are our friends by the way? I can't see them anywhere. But Lucy messaged me almost one hour ago that they were already on the way."
Hearing Veronica asking about her friends and families, everyone bit their lips to get a good reply for Veronica.
Still they couldn't find out a good reply for her so they just shared glances with each other which made Veronica suspicious about them.
But how could everyone forget that the 'excuse master' Reuben Smith was also present there!!
So it was time to rescue the elders from the clutch of Veronica's cleverly questions!!
And who would help them in it?
Of course!!
The great Reuben Smith!!
"Babe!! Where can they be other than here! It's just too much guests are in the hall, that's why we can't find them. You do one thing… get gelled up with these oldies. I'll just go and bring them here. What's say?" Reuben said, trying his best to divert her mind.
Veronica nodded and replied with a smile, "Fine.. Anyway it's been a while since I spent some time with these amazing people."
Reuben smiled back and left from there signaling his parents to keep her busy...

Hotel Room…
Reuben entered there and saw the four couples were having some sweet time of theirs, forgetting that they were here on a serious mission.
"What the f.u.c.k guys! Here I'm sweating like hell in nervousness and you guys are enjoying your so called quality time together. Like seriously!!" Reuben scoffed at them.
Neil who was hugging Willa closely, exclaimed in a sudden reflex, "Oh My God!! Is the great Reuben Smith nervous for the first time?"
"Shut up Neil. You're not the one who is going to propose in such a unique way. So obviously, I should be stress out!" Reuben scowled at him.
"Woah! I'm going to sell this news to the news agencies. Will get a lots of money for a honeymoon trip to Switzerland." Henry also mocked.
Before Reuben could retort, Lucinda hit Henry on the head, "You are planning to take me to honeymoon on the expense of my brother's high blood pressure!! You bad Henry! Don't you dare to pull my brother's leg. Otherwise I'll not let you touch me for one month even after our wedding."
This single threat was enough to shut Henry which made the others laugh..
"Okay enough of your teasing. Actually we should also get motivated along with Reuben as it's also our dance performance." Jack said.
Diana and Myra were already aware of the plan and their duty was to bring Veronica to the right spot and they were hell excited for this.
Louis got up and cheered everyone up, "Guys.. Come on. Let's buck up together."
Willa said, "Yes, let's do it positively."
Reuben felt relieved and a lot of calm than before after getting support from his friends as they shared a hug together.
"Yes, let's do it to get success!" Reuben chirped excitedly while others nodded.
"Let me inform Dad that we're ready. He should start now." Reuben said and messaged Mr. Smith...

Banquet Hall...
Veronica was busy in chatting with other elders of their friends group when Mr. Smith got the message from Reuben, for which he was waiting till now impatiently.
He gestured Mr. Lopez through his eyes who understood his friend's signal really well and said, "Princess, we have to meet some business associates of ours. You stay here. We'll come soon after meeting with them."
"Okay, Dad." Veronica said while both of the fathers left with their wives.
Veronica kept talking with others when she heard a very familiar voice. She instantly turned her head towards the stage where she noticed Mr. Smith and Mr. Lopez standing with a mic in their hands.
She focused her attention on them as she thought that they must have something to speak as a welcoming speech as always.
"A very grand welcome to all of our guests. I'm very happy that all of you could spare some of precious time from your busy schedule and glorify the importance of our party by your presence…
Today, we'll not talk about any business matters as this party is specially arranged by my son Reuben to celebrate his love with his beautiful girlfriend who is also my dear daughter, Veronica…
But is this the only reason of this party? I know it's a big question but let me hint you a little bit that it's not the only reason. There is more to come which may surprise you all, specially my daughter Veronica." Mr. Smith started his part of speech and ended it with a glance at Veronica.
Whereas Veronica was completely confused after hearing her soon to be father-in-law, specially when she heard Mr. Smith to say that the union of them was not the actual reason of the party.
She furrowed her eyebrows to analyze the situation but didn't get any answer even after wrecking her brain for few minutes.
After Mr. Smith, Mr. Lopez started to speak, "I don't know what to say but I can just be thankful to God that my daughter got Reuben as her life partner. I'm just too much happy for them and I'm leaving the rest of the matter in the kids' hands now…
But my princess, just remember that how much you grow up, you'll still be the same little girl for me and your mumma."
Now Veronica was very much sure that there was something wrong in their behaviour which she was not aware of. At that moment, she noticed that neither Reuben nor her friends were present there.
She was about to call them when she saw Diana and Myra happily coming towards her with a wide smile...
"Where were you guys? I was…"
Before Veronica could complete, Myra hushed her and said, "No more talking. Just come with us."
They pulled a very confused Veronica to the end of the stage and suddenly the light of the hall went off and only a spotlight fell on her...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
