Chapter 257 - Shopping and Hopping...

Stopping for few seconds, Neil again continued as his eyes turned a little bit gloomy, "The little one who always used to tag behind me with her two pigtails and called me with her baby like voice, is now so much matured that she has her own boyfriend now...

She is now so much big that whenever any guy tried to gawk at her, I would always threaten him to stay away from my little sister on behalf of our parents. But now...

From now on, there is gonna be someone special in your life who'll always protect you from others and love you more than I do. I'm happy that you chose Henry for you as he is the only one who could make my little sister happy.."

Now, tears were evident in both of the siblings' eyes. Neil who had never cried before also had tears in his eyes remembering the childhood days of him with his sister Lucinda.

He remembered those days when Neil would play with Reuben, Henry and sometimes Louis would join them too whereas his two little sisters, Lucinda and Veronica would follow them everywhere wherever they went...

Both of these little girls would wear a beautiful frock with their hair tied in ponytails with colourful ribbons and hair bands..

They would look so much cute with their pink chubby cheeks and small plump figures that his eyes would soften everytime seeing them.

Whenever Reuben, Henry or Louis would pull their legs...he along with their another close friend would protect them and scold the three boys on behalf of their cute little sisters..

Now, seeing one of his sister already going to be in a new kind of relationship, made his heart feel like it had been so long from the day his cute sisters were born as the replica of tiny buds and now they had already converted into beautiful flowers..

Both the brother and sister shed their tears of their beautiful memories while hugging each other.

Few minutes later, Neil came back to his sense and wiped his own tears before wiping Lucinda's too...

Kissing her on the forehead, Neil said, "Look, I have ruined all of your make-up on your special day. You're looking ugly now...

Go and cover your ugly face with those creams otherwise the guests will run away after seeing you like this."

Hearing his jokes, Lucinda pushed him playfully making Neil laugh hard as he said, "Come on... Get ready. Otherwise you'll be left from enjoying one of the happiest day of your life.."

Lucinda furrowed her brows in confusion when she heard her brother's words and asked, "What do you mean by 'one of my happiest day'? What is going to happen today?"

Neil smirked at Lucinda and shook his head in refusal to spill anything more to her...

But when Lucinda glared at him, he stated, "This glaring will not work for me today. You have to wait and see what is coming for you tonight."

"But brother..." Lucinda was about to argue when a car honk pulled their attention towards it.

"Go and get ready first. They have already arrived. I'll be waiting for you outside." Neil said before going out of the room.

Lucinda did few last minute touch ups and five minutes later went out of her room to see her brother waiting for her near the staircase.

"Are you ready?" Neil hold her hands and asked with excitement.

"Why are you behaving like this all suddenly?" Lucinda now was feeling really irritated with his behavior so she snapped at him.

Neil didn't reply but just pulled her downwards with him. Lucinda tried to protest by slapping him on his arms angrily but stopped when Neil left her hands and turned her towards the sofas where the supposed guests were sitting with a smile on their faces and talking with her parents gleefully.

But what caught her attention the most and made her surprised, was the handsome man sitting in the middle looking at her with love filled in his eyes.

"Henry, what are you doing here?" Lucinda asked being shocked.

Love-Paradise...

Veronica called Willa and talked with her for few minutes regarding tomorrow's plans.

They decided to directly meet at Lucinda's café and from there, they would start the journey of their girls' day out..

"So it's final now.. right?" Veronica asked.

"Absolutely final." Willa replied excitedly while drinking orange juice.

"Then we're gonna rock tomorrow." Veronica yelled in excitement.

"Yes.. Will break the stage with our shopping and hopping." Willa also joined her as both of them laughed together.

After talking for a little more, Veronica hung up and decided to call Myra for the final confirmation...

"Hi Vero." Myra picked up in few rings.

"Hey, you remember about tomorrow's plan, right?" Veronica asked.

Myra smiled and replied, "How can I forget when I myself asked for you guys to meet me?"

Veronica chuckled and said, "Yeah.. you're right. If you would forget about tomorrow, I would directly go to your place and kidnap you  from there.."

Again a fist of laughter erupted between the girls, making Reuben who was working on his laptop sitting beside Veronica, narrowed his eyes at her..

Veronica punched his shoulder playfully and signaled him with her eyes to focus on his work before continuing to talk with Myra.

"Ah!! Vero...I have something to ask you if you don't mind.." Myra said hesitantly.

"Don't hesitate Myra and tell me what you want to say." Veronica stated.

Pondering for quite a while, Myra finally asked, "Actually, one of my friend had come here in city S to visit me with her brother. Her brother is always busy with his work so she is alone. Can I also bring her with me tomorrow?"

"What is there to ask? If she is your friend and can mingle with us without any hesitation, then I don't have any problem and I don't think others will also have." Veronica insisted her.

"Okay.. Then let's meet tomorrow morning." Myra said.

"Yeah...bye..." Veronica said and cuddled into Reuben's arms as he also wrapped his hand around her and kissed on her head before continuing his work on his laptop...
