Leonard arrived home later at that night feeling vexed. His mother kept saying some annoying words to him that he wished he doesn't come back home that day.
"See where your stubbornness bring you to, haven't I warned you to stop luring yourself with that bitch?" Mrs Titore kept yelling on him making his problem double.
"Mummy not now I need to rest". Exclaimed Leonard.
"Why won't you want to rest? After crying your eyes out in the forest you went to". Mrs Titore mocked him.
"Mommy, you are adding to my problem why can't you just leave me alone?" Leonard shouted angrily.
"I apologize Mr Sienna's lover for disturbing you " said Mrs Titore in mockery tone, Leonard mumbled goodnight before heading to his room.
Leonard got to the room feeling both stressful and sorrowful, he laid down lazily on the bed before covering himself with duvet. He thought about sienna break up and Roxanne 's words.
**You better pour your sorrow on the Rock and went home light headed because I don't see any situation without solution**
He remembered those words and burst into fresh tears. "Who is this girl and why did her words haunt me like a ghost and why didn't I told her my problem maybe I can have peace of mind ." He kept asking himself a question without reply.The following morning after had dressed up, he went to the dining room to see his parents there eating. He doesn't want to prolong the matter that happened yesterday so he greeted them briefly and tried to walk out when his mother's voice entered.
"Won't you eat?" Mrs Titore asked.
"Mommy I'm not hungry". He said in earnest and as he was about to take another step his father's voice also came in.
"What is happening between you and sienna?" Mr Titore asked innocently.
"She broke up with me already". Replied Leonard.
"Wet for your pain! Didn't we warned you." Said Mr Titore.
"Not now dad." He said striding out of the dining room.
He turned on the ignition of the engine as he sat inside the car, he doesn't knew the specific direction he should take. He just roamed around the street before he decided to visit the lovely garden again. He doesn't sleep well all he could remembered was Roxanne's words. The word kept haunting and took over his sleep, he wished he can meet the lady again and pour all the sorrow in him on her face maybe she will advise Him or something.
He put to halt when he got to the entrance of the garden, he toddle like a baby and started to approach the rock beside the beach, the place was lovely than where he sat yesterday. He reached the rock and saw Roxanne sitting absent minded.
"What is she doing here this early morning". He kept asking himself.
"Did you stay here? In the garden." He asked sitting beside her.
"You really lack manner." Said Roxanne.
"You can tutor me some manner, fool". Leonard bites one's head off.
"The sorrowful Man that was shedding tears yesterday can still bully someone right? " Roxanne said in mockery tone and Leonard feel vexed immediately.
He felt like punching her or hit her with something that she won't survive.
"Do you mind sharing what made you grief or not?" Roxanne asked.
"And who told you, you are the right person to share my sadness with." Replied Leonard with plain expression.
"No matter how trouble your heart is, try to smile away your tears, there are some people who doesn't deserve someone's tear. A proverb says 'we never miss the water till well run dry' . If you keep your sorrow within yourself then live forever in sorrow ". Roxanne said and walked away.

The word kept replaying in Leonard's head.He felt bitter for not telling her his sorrow. He stood up and started to find Roxanne. He saw her sitting beside the shrud of flowers.
"I'm sorry for being rude to you Rox ". Leonard pleaded.
"I'm not Rox, My name is Roxanne and by the way I am not the right person to solve your problem." Exclaimed Roxanne.
"I don't want to live forever in sorrow please help me!" Said Leonard in croaked voice.
"You look ugly when you are in tears, why can't you just smile?" Asked Roxanne.
"I can't smile, my life is drowning". Said Leonard.
"Firstly, what is your name. Then, what made you grief"? Asked Roxanne.
"I'm Leonard Titore." Leonard said and took a deep breath before he continued.
"I had been used by many ladies. All I get from love was heart break, but the worst of it was sienna, I never for once knew didn't loved me but she kept saying it. Now she broke my heart and left me scattered.
"Is that what makes you yearn for death "? Roxanne requested. "Is that the reason why rain of tear are falling down from your eyes and why smile faded from your lips?.
"I never thought sienna could to that to me after many pains I went through just because of her. I can remember the day I was beaten black and blue because I wanted to stand for her, instead of thank you or pity my condition she is when I knew I could not fight why do I prove I can fight. Ahh she stabbed me." Leonard cried in pain and Roxanne pitied him.
"Heart break is not the end of the world and experience teaches fool". Roxanne advised.
"Can you please give me some alone time."? He asked shedding tears like a baby while Roxanne scoffed.
"I don't understand you, you met me here so I can't excuse you." She said in an even tone while he signed in frustration.
"You will see someone that will make you happy there is still hope" . Roxanne assured.
"And how sure are you?" Leonard scoffed.
"Non so deaf as those who will not hear, hear the warning or bear the consequence." Roxanne said trying to stand when Leonard spoke up.
"Do not leave without solving my problem". Cried Leonard in agony.
"Then smile, Leonard smile for me. Put smile on your face." She said with plain expression...
