Chapter 397 - Stupid Consumptions...

While the other two couples had no problem with it, Veronica and Reuben straightly denied the idea as they stated together, "We object.."

Their this one statement made everyone turn their heads towards them in complete shock as they were unable to believe that the REUNIC couple would be the one to refuse the proposal..

According to them, if anyone could be the happiest person in the world after knowing about the wedding dates then it would be Veronica and Reuben.

Both their energy and excitement level would shot into an extreme level, hearing that their parents had decided to get them married in just mere two months and they would start flying high in the sky just by anticipating their marriage..

To their uncertainty, the situation turned out to be totally different. Where they thought the REUNIC couple to be dancing in joy, they were now objecting the marriage idea.

But the question was, why??

Mr. Smith who was the happiest person till now, thinking that his daughter Veronica would be the future madam of Smith's family, got saddened the most at their refusal.

So he asked them, "And why is that? Why are you not happy with the dates? Don't you guys want to get married to each other now?"

One after one question had been thrown on the couple by their fathers whose excitement had turned into a grim expression right now.

Reuben and Veronica knew that their parents and other elders had already started their stupid consumptions about their decision.

Even their friends were staring at them with hawk like eyes as if they would eat them whole if they got any disapproving answer from the couple.

Not wanting to mislead their confusion more in a negative way, Veronica and Reuben shared a quick glance of mutual understanding.

After that, Veronica stopped their overthinking process by saying, "Guys.. Guys.. please stop your wrong assumption. Whatever you guys are thinking, are not correct."

Reuben then turned towards his father and said, "Dad.. If it was possible then we would love to get married right now. But we have some other plans on this matter."

"What kind of plans? Say it clearly both of you." Mr. Lopez said getting really confused by their behaviour.

Veronica sighed and replied, "Dad.. it's not that we don't want to get married. But the actual reason of declining your proposed date was we want to tie out knot on a different day which is very much special to us."

Nodding at what Veronica said, Reuben too stated, "Yes.. Ica is absolutely right. We want our marriage to be on the most unique day so that it could be the most memorable day of our lives...

Actually, we were talking about our marriage yesterday night. But couldn't come up with any decision. When we started the topic again on today morning, we got a brilliant idea which would make all of you happy too.."

"I think, you guys had made a whole merry go round with your words. Now if you're done with this beating around the bush game, then will you please let us know about the date you had decided to be united together with the vow of marriage?" Mrs. Smith interrupted them as she was getting frustrated by this couple.

Mrs. Lopez too agreed with her and said, "Yes. Don't make us wait anymore. It's really getting frustrating by every second. So spill the beans now if you don't want us to force you guys to get married on our proposed date."

Noticing their parents' anxiety level rising up to the angering level, Reuben and Veronica chuckled a little and held each other's hands.

Intertwining their fingers, Reuben announced happily, "We'll get married after three months, on the day when we became a couple."

Veronica then added smiling brightly, "Yes, we'll be completing five years of our loving relationship exactly three months later. So we decided to make it more memorable by stepping into the new journey of our life with a blissful wedding.."

The room fell in silence for a second which made Reuben and Veronica feel a little awkward.

They had just shared a great news to them today which consisted them to get married on a very special day of their lives.

So they expected their family and friends to be jumping in excitement but contrary to that, all of them were just sitting there quietly like a ice cube.

After waiting for a whole ten minutes which were nothing less than a complete decade for the couple, they finally got a response but it too shocked them to their core..

They were just pulled into a sudden hug by their fathers.

Yes! Fathers!!!

As soon Mr. Lopez and Mr. Smith heard about their children's decision, they took time to register the whole thing in their mind.

And when they finally did, they leapt so much in excitement of joy and happiness that they straight away engulfed the couple into a warm hug.

But they were not hugging their own son and daughter. Actually, Mr. Lopez took Reuben in his fatherly hug whereas Mr. Smith embrace Veronica in his own arms.

After breaking the hug, Mr. Smith exclaimed in joy, "This is the best day to get married. I agree with your decision."

Mr. Lopez too nodded his head and said excitedly, "Yes.. Which date can be better than their fifth anniversary? We can be able to celebrate two occasions together then.."

Both of the mothers were also very much satisfied with it as they hugged and blessed the couple.

Whereas the other elders became overjoyed with it. Their friends were also happy for them as they congratulated the couple.

"So shall we start the wedding preparations from tomorrow?" Mr. Wilson asked.

"Absolutely. We want each and everything to be perfect after all. Especially when it's the grand wedding of the three couples." Mr. Morgan said.

Andrew too got very much happy for his siblings and said, "We still have time for Reuben and Veronica's wedding but we don't have enough time for the other two couples.."
