Chapter 7 - chapter 6

Adams gestured her to continue and asked her if can sit there when he received a nod he sat there

Adams asked her : Company dinner ??

Veronica nodded and asked the same 

Adams nodded and said : its my farewell party i am going to head quarters 

Veronica : congrats 

Adams : lets exchange numbers i would like to invite you to me engagement next year

Veronica was surprised as they were mere an acquittances she did not expect him to invite her and gave her number 

Adam : you know i am inviting you to my engagement because you picture art better than if you can please draw one of my engagement moments with Susan i was impressed by painting of your boyfriend on art musuem i don't theory i could imagine it was a good moment for you

Veronica didn't deny or agree just nodded

Adams asked excitedly : yeah i was curious of your proposal can i use your idea for proposing marriage to Susan ??

Veronica for the first she felt ashamed of boasting seeing that he is still struck on that issue she decided to come clean

Adams stared at curiously 

Veronica cleared her and started : me and Simon are childhood friends so i was with him most of my childhood we share interest soo

Adams curiously asked so ???

Veronica lowered her head and said : i gave him two books to choose from yes or no he choosed yes thats it after saying she avoided his gaze

Adams did not take her hint and asked stubbornly : what books ? did u paint a picture of him daily or something 

Veronica while avoiding gaze stated : something like that

Adams became excited and began starting to praise her without stop as he was saying how did she such a great idea he heard a voice saying what thats great idea he turned back he is faced with Simon

Veronica stunned and avoided his gaze as he sat down beside her 

Adams foolishly pitted her by saying : you are Simon right i asked her how she proposed to you she said that she gave you book full of pictures of you drawn by her i was just praising her great idea

Simon's mouth twitched after listening to it and glanced her 

Veronica desperately gave a look to cover 

too bad for her Simon just poured cold water by sharing truth 

Simon smiled and answer : yeah very great book but remember place paste options on correct book unlike some one who pasted wrong options on book if i was not careful or not checked both books i would have picked wrong book then who would know certain someone was planning on escaping on full on plan detail budget plan 

Veronica retorted and said : i am good at budgets 

Adams asked confusedly what budget 

Simon smiled and explained

1 year back 

  Veronica with serious face asked Simon to meet her on place on terrace 

when Simon reached her house he thought there something happened or Veronica would not have called him to come home alone so went straight to the point asking whats wrong then Veronica with her straight face (for others which may appear that she may be going to battle) gave two books to Simon 

Simon took it without any thoughts as he tried opening the books he stopped and scared silly due to veronica yelling as she said don't open now 

I was trying to guess guess her thoughts when she said ran away to the terrace steps and closed safety gates from outside while was standing outside i was locked inside while i was processing to guess what is she doing she just stood there stared at me as i tried to walk towards her she yelled again to stop i was scared silly by all her yelling's i stood still then she took a deep breathe took her mobile phone started calling i just stood there watching her when i got call and answered without checking i listened her voice on my mobile phone so i checked and took a deep breathe and placed the mobile phone near my ears before i could say anything she spoke like a rap i didn't understand a thing as i shaked my head to indicate i didn't understand she took a deep breathe again spoke

Veronica : listen i am very nervous now i will not say again soo listen carefully

Simon : i am listening go on 

Veronica : i want an answer to the question on the books i gave you now on the first page there two options choose clearly and think carefully after reading the books keep the answer the with answer you want to give me with you and place other book on ground did you understand?

Simon want to answer he didn't understand than he took glance at her swallowed back his words and said i understand

Simon opened the first in which first question was do you want spend your rest of life with me watching animations ?? 

he thought he was seeing things what did watching animations with rest of life indicate he first thought she was mocking him for watching cartoons at this and he raised his and glances she quickly turned her back against him fidgeting with her fingers seeing her nervousness he erased that thought turned around some pages by each turning pages he was stunned it was drawings of her and him from childhood to teen age then adult hood and middle age and then old age it was such a moving drawings any would have move if only those words are not written at old age pictures his mouth twitched while reading its his face was drawn on old age but her face was still of middle age on the left corner there were some words with bold strokes stating that : VERONICA IS ALWAYS YOUNG SO EVEN IN OLD AGE I AM STILL BEAUTIFUL :

He raised his eyebrows to look her she taking peeks at him 

then he turned last words stating: this will be our will if say yes 

but as he closed book feeling touched that some dimwit finally catched he saw the words on back of the with same bold stroke he stopped feeling touched there was a sticker stating choose this book if answer is NO

he thought all senarios none of those explained those words than after some thought he took 2nd book in which question was what if you not choosen yes senarios 

he turned pages his corners of mouth twitched countionusly while turning each and every doodle was his ugly face with some random girl with some ugly face it was only upto middle age as he turned last page he read those that was stating : without me you will only stop middle age at most his corners twitched more and raised his eye brows and turned book where there was obviously sticker stating if answer is yes choose this after processing the sudden information he came to conclusion that certain some one was proposing him through these books and accidentally miss placed the stickers he didn't know whether to praise her for finally acting on or mock her for stupid mistake of stickers before he could make a choice some papers fell on ground from the book he bent and took it in his in which there two plans which was obviously detailed budget plan one was for if he accepted her other was her escape plan to join nun's seeing this he had uncontrollable urge to open her brain to what the heck was going her brain finally after sometime he plucked the stickers on the books pasted in correct order took the book and showed her she glanced and smiled brightly and ran away leaving him behind he was left all alone he didn't know what should he do for now but after glancing those pictures of childhood of them he smiled foolish he was relieved and felt very happy and excited and calming down he went to safety gate when he noticed that idiot really locked on terrace staring at it for few minutes he dialed her number when she didn't pick up she dropped message to open the lock with in 2 mins she opened the locked looked on the book in his hand smiled and ran away again before he had time to say anything he just left her house laughing foolish all long the road when he reached his thought something happened to him as doesn't laughs lot at all now he is smiling foolishly even his brother thought he lost after playing many games
