Mrs. Jones' eyes filled with adoration for her children as they greeted her by a group hug. Her smile had widened when she received numerous pecks from her kids who had turned into a.d.u.l.t now...
"How are my lovely babies?" Mrs. Jones asked looking at all of them with a soft smile on her lips.
Veronica pouted and huffed, "Now you've finally remembered about us! Humph!!"
Lucinda also imitated Veronica and puffed her cheeks like a child and said, "We won't talk to you. You completely forgot about us after going to County M."
Though Lucinda had some personal problems with Amelia but she never treated Mrs. Jones badly in basis of her daughter's cruel behavior.
After all, Mrs. Jones had always cared for her and Veronica like her own daughter. Even though Willa had connected with the group at the end of their teenage days, still she got the same love from Mrs. Jones without any differences.
So all of them were very much attached to her emotionally, specially Reuben who had spent most of his childhood time with Andrew and her.
Mrs. Jones then looked towards Reuben who was standing like a statue which didn't go unnoticed by Veronica also as she had held his hands in her to console him.
"Will my most favourite son not give me a hug like Neil and Henry?" Mrs. Jones asked as she stretched her hands towards Reuben.
The last stance of Reuben broke down immediately as he embraced his favourite aunt tightly as he said, "I missed you Aunty."
"I too missed you son. But what I never expected that you'd be engaged with my favorite daughter but I'm really happy with this." Mrs. Jones tried to lighten the mood.
Reuben smiled and joked, "Now what can my poor heart do when my Ica is so much beautiful and gorgeous!"
Veronica blushed at his comment which made everyone burst into fits of laughter...
"Come on, let's now cut the cake." Louis announced as he brought the cake along with Jack.
Astonishment would be an understatement to describe Veronica's state as she was literally jumping in joy after seeing the beautiful cake, specially made on the order of Reuben.
It was a two layered white cake. A tree was drawn on the layers of the cake. The black branch was iced on the bottom part of it while the leaves which were designed in red and white coloured heart shape were painted on the side of the top part.
Few butterfly in black were also present there. And a beautiful picture of a boy proposing a girl on his knees, holding a ring in his hand was also patterned just beside the tree stem.
But the most captivating part of the cake was…a heading made with dark chocolate had been placed on the top tier vertically which said, "She said Yes!"…
The cake was actually a Patchwork Silhouettes Engagement Cake, specially made for the occasion and obviously the planner was Reuben.
Veronica gave Reuben a smile which he returned with his own as both of them cut the cake together while few paper crackers flew on them.
All of the guests surrounded them along with family and friends. The couple fed the cake to each other and shared a short kiss. After that, they fed others and clicked lots of pictures with everyone.
The guests came to them one by one and congratulated the newly engaged couple.
In the happiness of the celebration, Veronica and Reuben had almost forgotten about their most special guests of the party.
Yes! They were none other than the Brown and Parker family..
Both of the families came to congratulate the couple when Mr. Brown said, "Congratulations to you both. You are such a lovely couple."
Veronica showed him the biggest fake smile of her and replied, "Thank you so much."
Reuben suppressed his laugh at her eternally mocking smile but his eyes never left Alonzo who was standing behind his parents with a dark and gloomy face.
His face was enough to describe the inner turmoil he was facing. His heart was getting torn in several pieces witnessing such a lovely atmosphere and the most amazing proposal of the decade created by Reuben for Veronica.
Only he knew that how much it hurt him to be a spectator of the romantic scene where the love of his life was getting engaged to his love rival Reuben..
But this observation had helped him to reach into a conclusion at last...that now it was high time for him to move on from his one sided love which had no future.
Seeing the genuinely happy smile of Veronica when she was with Reuben, Alonzo clearly understood that she didn't belong to him. Her love for Reuben was very much evident in her eyes..
Whatever Reuben had said was quite right actually. Love means sacrifice too. And Alonzo had finally came to the phase of his life where he was ready to sacrifice his love of five years to help Veronica lead a happy life with her fiance...
While Alonzo was letting go all of his emotions for the sake of his dream girl...on the other hand, Regina was burning in jealousy.
The way Reuben had proposed her, the amount of money he had invested for the grand party was making her extremely envious of Veronica's luck.
She was fuming in anger and planning for her next step to attack Veronica, unknown to the fact that the very next day would be known in the history of Country K as her 'Dooms Day'!
Veronica didn't missed to observe Regina's vinegar eating face which was red in rage. And she took the exact moment to give Regina her all time famous mocking smirk which was enough to trigger the last bit of patience
in her...
Mr. and Mrs. Parker along with Cole also congratulated the couple but Cole's eyes were stabbing holes on Myra's back who was laughing in the arms of Jack..
Grandmother Brown whose eyes never left Veronica from the start of the party, slowly walked towards her and asked in a shaky voice, "Do you now remember this old lady, my child?"
