"Then smile, Leonard smile for me. Put smile on your face." She said with plain expression.
"Can smile solve my problem? If it can then I can't without my tears wipe away." He complained.
"I can wipe your tears away". Roxanne said.
"Who are you to do so, ladies are the same. I'm scared of you too, you are wicked." He hijacked.
"Don't judge a book by it cover and don't judge people by the way they behave. Bitter experience make people strong." She replied firmly.
"No body love me, no one can make me happy. So, what am I doing here. Everything is just useless." He cried.
"Do not cry smile leo smile. A poem says:
You just wept and cry everyday
Did the tear solve your problem and issues
I know it hurts but try to smile away your tears
It doesn't fit your face
Tears can't solve problem it makes matter worst
Nothing ventured nothing gained.
Two wrongs do not make a right .
Frienny why can't you smile?
No matter how difficult the issues is.
Smile solves many problem
Smile from your heart and never complain.
Just smile for today and your tomorrow will be better...
As Roxanne finished her poem Leonard felt touched but couldn't show it. He stood up and left the garden, he went home straight because he was very hungry and happy but the happiness was in-between the sorrow. As he wanted to smile, tears flowed down his face, he wiped them off and went to the dining room and ate to his satisfaction before going to his room for shower.
He remembered the word of the poem* Tears can't solve problem it makes matter worst.* The poem really made him happy but he felt sad for not appreciated what Roxanne did to him.
=====================
Roxanne arrived home with blank emotion as usual but she was surprised by the presence of her parents. She never expect them since they value businesses more than their family and their only daughter, they don't care about her at all, they only care about businesses. They went to work early in the morning before she will wake and returned when has slept off . She used to see them once in a month. They always forgot her birthday, she doesn't have caring parents that makes her sorrow double. Though, they gave her anything she requested for like money, gifts and other things but not always about money. As she approached the sitting room she met both of them in conversation.
"Good evening Mom and dad". She greeted and tried to go upstairs when her mother's voice stopped her.
"Is that the way to welcome us?" Mrs Brown asked.
"Mom I don't get you because it is shocking to me. Meeting you at home." Roxanne shouted at her mom but her gaze on the floor.
"See this girl o. You have grown wings to talk to like that? Asked mrs Brown. "You don't even have a single respect."
"I'm sorry. Can you please save me your time, you can keep it for another day. I'm kindly busy." Said Roxanne trying to go to the stairs.
"Anne, we are really sorry." Mr Brown apologized and she turned back, she can't ignore her father's voice no matter what, her father always been sincere unlike her mother who was troublesome. She wished she never came back home that day.
"Dad I hold no grudges against you." She said.
"I know but we're sorry for not playing the roles of parent on you". Said Mr Brown.
"Dad, this is the only thing you keep saying since , till my brother died your words doesn't change from being sorry. I'm out of here." Roxanne yelled and rushed to her room.
The following morning she woke up and looked around the house but couldn't see glimpse of her parents though she didn't expect them to be at home, no one to talk to, no one to play with that is how she lives her since the death of her brother. She went to the kitchen and saw a maid doing some chores, she ignored her and strolled to the dining room to eat her breakfast. After that she went to the garden as usual, she met Leonard standing resting his back behind a tree. She glanced at him and their eyes met, she quickly took her eye away and ignored him like she saw nothing.
"I've been waiting for you since. Good morning". He said sulkily..
