I Have A Story To Tell

chapter 14

It was one hell of a melodrama when Mark and James reached home. All the "no love reaches mother love", " fathers fabricated love" and "dodo protection scheme continues for two hours which completely drains both the boys from the tiny dose of their leftover vitality. Losing all patience both of them left for their own apartment which in sacred words is their home and peace shelter. reaching home both of them dozed off in tv launch in sofa beds.

After four hours of sleep, Mark went to the kitchen and start making tea with cheese sandwiches which is Mark's quickest recipe. He saw James reading a paper.

"What are you reading for almost five minutes this seriously"

"A proposal"

"What proposal?"

"A wedding proposal from Veronica for you dude"

"Maxy stop sulking. I think you have started daydreaming... Before I can even complete my sentence he put forward the piece of paper in my hand

Dear Mathew
You must be thinking of this world of technologies I'm writing a letter. We have each day to celebrate. Love is also celebrated. Sometimes I think why is this so. Should love be celebrated? Isn't it to be expressed more than a celebration. Anyways a little out of the context. I straight want to be blunt but this is the truth of my life today. I know it's hard to trust someone from a celebrity world and above all a complete stranger. Since the day we met accidentally. I decided something. But before I tell you what I have decided I want to share the biggest secret of my life. I'm Verna Stiles, not Veronica Stiles. My name is my identity. Veronica is my guarding name and Verna is the real me. Veronica protects me while Verna harms me. This real me wants to marry you Mathew and I know you know that Veronica will never ever marry someone from her world which she considers fake but she loves that fake world.
Marry me, Mathew. I can't give you any better reason but you know what I give you is the biggest truth of my life. I give you my real identity.
Best
Ver
I look at it, shocked. It's hard to believe that how can anyone just propose like this. But something caught my mind. I know this is not the first letter I get from a girl but it is the first proposal letter I read myself. James makes sure none of the letters reaches me. The sensitive me can't hurt anyone's feelings. It is true that I never want any kind of commitment. I don't any more trouble for my mother. I already hurt her a lot due to all these misunderstandings created by my own father. What can I say about it? I never let any girl come close to me that is the reason James handles all the letters, parties and dates. I don't even try to know about the lamest reasons he makes to them why I can't be with them. But why Veronica I mean Verna? Why he gives me the letter she wrote I can feel the smell of her perfume even from the piece of the paper.

" Should I start preparing?"
His gorgeous voice interrupts my pattern of thoughts.

"What preparation?"

"Of course your wedding preparation" he squeals with excitement.

"Calm down Jammy, no one is getting married and above all, why on Earth Veronica Stiles will make a proposal like that and want to marry a stranger"

"Veronica stile might not but Verna definitely wants to marry a handsome stranger like you" he smirked at me and continue" name is something secret for you too."

Even the joker face of him still brings about serious sense meaning one can only think of.

"No, I don't believe it...
Umm let's go" I said standing from a chair and pull out my jacket from the cupboard and grab my car keys from the rack.

"Where?" He tried to ask I left him without answering and he silently follows me towards the car.

"I don't understand why you bought this plain white floral knee-length girl's attire from one dollar shop, all out of blue," James said.

"But you like the attire," Mark said.

"That's not the point" James tries to argue. But something clicks his mind " Don't tell me you are planning to marry her and this dress is for your Verna" He smiled carelessly.

My Verna I don't know but it sounds good but weird.

" No, it's nothing like that. We receive a proposal it can be a prank so I thought we can change tables and play their game on them."

" I didn't get it, like explaining"

"See you believe that she believes that for some reason I will believe that Veronica wants to marry me but you know that I believe that it is hard to believe that Veronica out of all people will ever propose like that. So, my friend I bought this dress and will send her the same way she sends me the letter along with a piece of paper."

"When you start talking bewilder but I don't know what all you said make sense or not but the idea itself is exciting...
I'm definitely in but what are you going to write on that piece of paper you mention."

"Well that is a surprise now" Mark shrugged and race the car on the road.

life is like a road curve and straight with lots of turning point which are created by the decisions we make. It depends on our soul decision on how beautiful our destination is...................................................................................................................................
