Chapter 201 - A relationship can't ever start with a lie...

As promised by Alonzo, it became his everyday routine to disguise himself as his twin Alex and continue meeting Veronica..

Theough Veronica expressed few of her doubts about Alex's sudden changes in his demeanor but Alonzo's skillful talks didn't led her to find out anything odd out of him..

Alonzo started to visit Alex everyday in the hospital and Alex would ask him about Veronica's whereabouts with his ever sparkling eyes...

He would answer Alex very patiently about her and would tell him how was her project going on...

Alhough Alonzo wasn't very much expert like his brother in graphics or gaming, but he knew a few things about these two subjects as Alex would always talk about this to him and show him his work..

One day, Alonzo went to meet Veronica to her apartment when he found a handsome man entering an expensive car in front of Veronica. He only saw the back of him but the well toned and sturdy shoulder of him was enough to create an unknown jealousy inside him which was very much successful in burning his head out of rage..

As the car got vanished in the busy streets of the bustling city B, he called for Veronica and asked about the person who entered the car while walking through the pathway.

He was having some insecurities about the person but after what Veronica had said, his doubts got cleared and he became very happy again..

"What to tell about him when I don't know him? He was just passing by me when we collided with each other. So he said sorry to me and left by his car." Veronica smiled awkwardly before replying.

Alonzo smiled at her and both talked about few more things. Day by day, their friendship got stronger and Alonzo got more and more attracted towards her...

New kind of feelings started to born inside his heart which he had never felt for anyone. Whenever he saw Veronica, his heart jumped over a beat and it would start running so fast and erratically that he sometimes felt that a little more fast pace and his heart would pop out of his mouth..

His heart was not listening to him anymore as it would always start beating loudly just by the mention of her name. Whereas his mind would always be occupied by her thoughts..

Whenever he would close his eyes the face of Veronica would come flying in front of him and he could see only her..

No one else...

All these overwhelming emotion had led him to one thing that he was developing romantic feelings for Veronica. But he was not able to confess those harboring feelings inside him, neither to Veronica nor to his own twin brother Alex..

Alex was still hospitalized so Alonzo didn't want to pressurise him with his own feelings. So he decided to wait for a little bit more till Alex get well from his illness..

Alonzo continued meeting her regularly. But from that day when he came to realise his affection towards Veronica, he would not meet her as a mere friend but he would think of her as his future girlfriend, without caring if Veronica would even want that relationship from him..

----

So one day he went to his grandmother asking for her to meet the girl he liked the most. Grandmother Brown was the happiest one when she heard that Alonzo found a girl whom he had started to love. Before this day, he had never liked or talked about any girl..

Happily agreeing with the idea to meet Veronica, she asked, "So when are we going to meet her?"

Alonzo chuckled and said, "Maybe today evening. But grandma, you have to remember this that you can't take my real name in front of her. You have to call me by the name Alex..

If you promise me this thing, then only I'll take you there with me to meet her.."

Grandmother Brown was the only one who was very much close to him without his siblings, so he shared everything with her.

Hearing Alonzo, Grandmother Brown sighed and said, "Alonzo.. I know that you love that Veronica girl very much. Everyone can understand your feelings just by the way you talk about her..

So it means that you have to tell your and Alex's secrets to her. You have to be truthful to her with everything. A relationship can't ever start with a lie, my child..."

Smiling at her, Alonzo replied, "Don't worry grandma, I'll tell her everything very soon. I'm just waiting for Alex to get well soon.."

-----

That day evening, Alonzo took his grandmother to meet with Veronica and by mistake grandma Brown almost took Alonzo's real name in front of her, but fortunately Veronica hadn't noticed it.

They had fun talking to each other and Alonzo was beyond happy to see that both of the love of his life are bonding with each other very well.

Grandma Brown was very happy with Veronica. So while leaving, she told Alonzo, "I like this girl very much. She is very much innocent and well-behaved. You really have a great choice, my boy."

Alonzo just smiled shyly and dropped her back near their family mansion, with a promise from his grandmother that she was not going to reveal about any of his secrets which included him, staying in city B...

-----

One month passed by and Alex was finally back home from hospital. Though he was still a little bit weak but all in all, he was fine now.

After coming back home from hospital, his first wish to Alonzo was, to meet his friend Veronica.

While staying away from her and not meeting her for a long time, he also got to know about the true reason of his fondness towards her..

Alex was feeling something more than a friendship for her.. It's more than a simple liking between two friends. But he was afraid to get rejected by her so he decided to ask his brother about it first..
