Diana and Myra were also looking at the portraits and became mesmerized by its artwork but then suddenly Myra noticed something which made her eyes broadened out like an elephant..
"You know the artist Nicope??"
"What?? This is an art by Nicope?" Diana asked when she realised what Myra had said and started finding the signature of the artist.
After finding the signature at the right corner of the portrait's bottom part, Diana shrieked in disbelief, "It really is made by Nicope.. Oh my God!! I can't believe it. She is really a famous artist. She only exhibits her paintings for once or twice in a year. Ironically, she never sells her paintings.."
"Exactly my point. I'm really a fan of her paintings. I asked my brother so many times to buy a painting of her but everytime he approached the show planner they always rejected us saying that the artist had strictly prohibited them to sell her paintings to anyone." Myra said.
"I know right?? I'm also a big fan of hers. I also tried to get her artworks but never got succeed in it. But how do you get it?? Do you know the artist by any way?" Diana asked.
The gang was listening to the surprised comments of these two girls till now without saying anything while Cole and Alonzo trying to remember the artist, leaving Regina roll her eyes at their excitement.
Except Veronica, everyone started chuckling at their curious gaze as not only Veronica but each and everyone present in the living room knew the artist very well..
Henry laughed and said, "Why does Vero needs to know the artist to get a painting from her?"
"Ah!! What do you mean? Of course she needs to know her.. Wait a minute!! Did you just say 'her'? That means the artist is a girl and you are also known to her.." Myra muttered in utter confusion.
Neil chuckled before saying, "Of course we know about her. Not only us but both of you girls are also well acquainted with her."
Diana scrunched up her eyebrows and asked, "But how can that be possible? I had never met her… I didn't even know about her gender till you guys informed me about it.."
Lucinda laughed at her loudly and said, "Gosh!! Diana and Myra, you both are really so innocent and dumb that after giving so many clues, you still didn't get any answer...
Okay, let me give you one last hint. The beautiful artist is present among us right now."
Myra and Diana tried to get the answer through Lucinda's mischievous smile then they looked at each other for a few seconds with their furrowed eyebrows.
Pondering over a while when they made a flashback of all the past series, their eyes widened and they turned their face towards Veronica with a shocked expression before mumbling together, "It's Vero.."
Reuben grinned ear to ear and pulled Veronica more to him by clutching her waist and proudly announced, "Yes.. It's my Ica and your friend Vero who is the amazing artist of this two portraits and many other beautiful paintings."
Not only Diana and Myra…even Cole, Alonzo and Regina were shocked with this sudden revelation.
They couldn't ever imagine that Veronica was not only beautiful by her looks but also she had an amazing talent in painting...
Coming out of the shock, Alonzo asked, "But what does the name Nicope signify?"
Reuben glared at Alonzo for asking this question regarding Veronica but before he could reply, Willa answered for him, "The name is a joint name of Vero's real name and surname... 'Nic' comes from Veronica and 'Ope' Comes from Lopez..
Like this Veronica Lopez had been shortened to the pseudonym Nicope who is a great artist.."
"Woah!! That's great.." Both Diana and Myra said.
"Okay guys.. enough of your praising. Now let's talk about something else." Veronica said.
"But what kind of conversation shall we start?" Louis asked.
"Something interesting.." Jack said.
"And what that interesting topic can be?" As soon as Louis said this, everyone closed their mouth.
Few minutes later, suddenly Diana spoke out, "Hey guys.. I was wondering if we can talk about all of your relationsh.i.p.s. I mean how did you guys fall in love with each other."
Myra also agreed with this and said in excitement, "Though I knew a little bit about Willa and Lucinda…but I've never heard anything about how Vero fell in love with Reuben...
Seriously guys… Just by looking at both of your fondness towards each other, I just become excited to think how you guys turned to be so much in love with each other."
Alonzo threw a glare at Myra who asked about Reuben and Veronica's relationship without her knowledge that it might be painful for Alonzo to hear about them.
When Myra's eyes fell on her brother, she understood what she had just said but what could she do...
She really wanted to know them as per her, they were the best and most loving couple of the world.
According to Myra, past should be kept in past. No need to bring it out under the light again. She knew that her brother Alonzo loved her best friend Veronica but that didn't mean he should not overcome from his love.
He also needed to change and Myra obtained to help her brother from getting out of his love for Veronica which was more like an obsession.
Myra decided that she should make Alonzo learn that another synonym for LOVE was SACRIFICE…
"I think that's an extremely good idea. So from whom should we start first?" Jack asked.
Louis thought for a while and said, "Lets go from newest to oldest couple.. Like first Neil and Willa, secondly Henry and Lucy and last but not the least our most popular couple Veronica and Reuben will tell them about their love stories..."
"Okay.. Let's start then.." Diana said excitedly as she again took her sit beside Louis.
Myra also sat beside Jack who gave her a charming smile which Myra returned with her own cute smile and obviously it also didn't go unnoticed by Cole who fisted his hand tightly in rage…
