A cold iron...

Next day, Alonzo had left for his trekking on the scheduled day, whereas Alex got ready to meet Veronica..

He was beaming with joy after meeting her but somewhere in his heart, there was a layer of sadness illuminating like a dark fog..

After meeting her, he called Alonzo and came to know that, he had also arrived there safely. Both of the brothers had talked to each other for quite a while but suddenly Alonzo felt there was something wrong with Alex's voice...

It was like... Alex was not talking properly with him and having some reluctance in the middle of his every words. His voice seemed be a little heavy also...

"Alex, did something happen to you? Your voice seemed to be a little hoarse? Did you cry?" Alonzo asked.

"No nothing happened. It's just that I'm a little bit tired and wanted to sleep." Alex replied.

Alonzo nodded his head and said, "Okay then.. Good night."
