They pulled a very confused Veronica to the end of the stage and suddenly the light of the whole hall went off and only a spotlight fell upon her...

Veronica closed her eyes because of the sudden golden light. But her eyes remained shut not for too long when she heard the sound of guitar playing in the hall...

Opening her eyes slowly to adjust her eyesight, she gasped as soon as her eyes fell on the view in front of her!

The hall room was covered with big LED screens which was playing some videos which she had always summarised in her heart.

There were many videos and pictures of her childhood which had been recorded or captured from the day she had seen the light of the world...her small figure wrapped in a pink blanket while her eyes were closed was the first picture that had been shown on the screen.

After that, her first smile, her first word, her crawl, her first step everything was being beautifully portrayed on the video..

But it stopped for a second when the picture of Reuben carrying her for the first time in his little arms came in the view.

Before she could be able to comprehend the whole situation, she heard a very soothing voice of the person who had stolen her heart five years ago...

And soon the melody of guitar reached into her ear again but this time not alone. It got accompanied with the same melodious voice..

Right then another spotlight flashed on the great Reuben Smith who was sitting in the middle of the stage, playing the guitar. A mic was placed in front of him while his soft yet melodious voice had started resonating through the whole room.

"What would I do without your smart mouth?

Drawing me in and you kicking me out…

You've got my head spinning, no kidding....."

Yes, Reuben was singing Veronica's all time favourite song 'All of Me' with his euphonious voice which made Veronica's eyes pop out of her socket.

She just looked at him with wide eyes when suddenly the paused video again started playing and numerous pictures of her growing up along with her friends and families came out on the screen.

Starting with her first school to the day she had given her final exams, all were there...

"Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections…"

As Reuben sang the lines, the images of their first date on the cliff when he proposed Veronica, started displaying on the screen.

Then few more pictures with the titles like 'our first kiss', 'our first date night', 'our first dance as a couple' started sliding through the screen one after another.

Veronica was already in tears as she had already started reminiscing through her past memories which were equally beautiful and precious.

The photo slide continued on as the form of a video. It showed a picture of the couple from the engagement party of their four friends also, where they were looking into each other with so much love in their dark orbs.

The collage finally ended with the pictures of the REUNIC couple in their latest look which they have taken in their sweet home just before coming to the party...

"You are my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, huh ah..."

Reuben finally sang the last verses of the song and stared right into Veronica's eyes who was glancing back at him with her teary eyes while a big smile was blooming on her lips like a fresh blossom..

They kept staring at each other for a few moments, still in a trance of their own which was not less than a dreamland. They were so much into each other that they even forgot about the people who were present there also.

The only thing that mattered to them right now was their LOVE..

But their trance got broken as soon as the hall erupted with everyone's clap. Veronica still hadn't any idea, exactly what was waiting for her next...

So wiping her tears off her face, she was about to run towards Reuben to engulf in a loving hug when both Diana and Myra pulled her back, making her furrow her brows quizzically.

"Let me go guys. Why are you stopping me?" Veronica asked, being irritated that she wasn't able to go to her beloved.

Myra chuckled before replying, "Have some patience, girl! The show has just begun."

Veronica couldn't understand even a single word of Myra as she was busy to loose the grip of both of the girls on her arms.

She was about to retort at them when the lights again went off and another song started playing. 

Veronica couldn't apprehend the name of song at first as her eyes were only focused on the stage where the lights were slowly beginning to lit on again and few familiar figures started to come into the view of everyone's eyes...

Veronica was shocked to see her friends there, giving a goofy smile to her. But what awestruck her the most, was Reuben standing in the middle of them with a big grin plastered on his face. But still she could see the little nervousness he was filling inside in his eyes..

Veronica returned a charming smile and blinked her eyes to assure him that everything was going to be fine as per his planning.

Although she didn't have any idea about the next performance Reuben had planned for her which would turn into the biggest surprise for her whole life in few minutes, still she was ready to support him...

Her primary thought after seeing him along with her friends was that...they were going to sing a chorus or something like that to recollect all of their past sweet and sour memories but her damp broken when the lyrics of the song started rolling on…
