EVELYN DANIELS

He parked the car two streets away from where I stay with my aunt.

"Thank you very much sir" I said as I was about alighting the vehicle.

"It's Ken, Kenneth" he corrected me with a smile.

"Thank you Mr Ken" I greeted again.

He smiled "it's okay, I'm glad to see you happy, keep that smile on everytime" he said " your name?" He asked

"It's Evelyn Daniels" I said with a smile. His words found it's way to my heart.

"Nice to meet you Evelyn" he said and I alighted waving him goodbye as he drove out from where he parked.

I walked happily to the house not after hiding some money on my way, I took some leafs and wrapped the money before hiding it below the earth, I went home with the remainant, I went to my aunt's bedroom, I gave her the money but she was too sleepy to answer me so she only collected the money from me and continued sleeping. I found my way to my room and changed my clothes, had my bath and collasped on the bed recalling everything that happened today.

{Kenneth's pov}

When I got home, it was already very late, mum was still waiting up for me in the sitting room with Delilah.

"Ken what happened? We were scared, I thought you were not going to return" Mum said as she hugged me "what happened you are wet? Did you go under the rain?" She kept on asking.

" Mum I'm fine" I said simply.

"Baby I was....." Delilah said but I immediately flashed her a glare

"Don't even dare" I said sternly before walking up to my room and shutting the door.

"Mum are you sure he will fall for me?" Delilah asked Mum with a sad look.

"He will. He has no other choice" Mum assured her.

I had my bath and changed my clothes before lying on the bed and covered myself up with the duvet only for everything that happened today to flood into my head.

"Evelyn" I mouthed her name and smiled to myself.

*Morning*

I woke up sneezing, I caught a cold, I was coughing, sneezing and was having a runny nose when I sneezed for the fifteenth time that morning, I ended up laughing loudly.

"What's funny? What are you laughing at?" Silva, my youngest and the last card of the Walter asked me with a cup of coffee in her hand, she was still in her robe.

"Nothing" I said as I gave her an innocent look with a cheerful smile.

"Weirdo" she mouthed as she walked passed me.

I walked the stairs as I greeted everyone cheerfully.

"What's with Ken this morning?" Gina asked Silva and she shrugged.

"Good morning Mum" I greeted kissing Mum on the cheeks.

"He must have had a bright dream" Silva said while we all settled at the dinning room to have breakfast.

"Ken your training starts today" Dad said, he wasn't bedridden, so he could join us for breakfast, we were all eating breakfast when he said so.

"Today?" I asked as I stare at everyone at the table "Dad, can we postpone the practice?"

"No son, this is your calling, the earlier you start practicing, you become more perfect, this is your future we are talking about" Dad explained.

I sighed because he was saying the truth, I had planned it out that I wanted to visit Evelyn today.

"Okay" I agreed.

{Evelyn's pov}

I woke up feeling energized, I didn't feel like who had been under the rain crying and injured yesterday, I did all my morning chores before my aunt and cousins would wake. I was making breakfast when Frank joined me in the kitchen, he looked amazed at me.

"You are up early" he said.

"Yep.." I agreed.

"You look unnecessarily excited this morning, did you win a jackpot in your dream?"

I laughed loudly " no not at all, is Yelin and Mum awake yet?"

"Not yet, you know they always sleep in" he said and I laughed again "It's nice to see you happy this morning" he added.

"Someone once told me to always 'keep that smile on everytime' I said cheerfully.

"That person definitely is a good person and I love the person makes you happy today" he said making tea for himself.

"Thank you Frank, for everything"

"Welcome" he beamed.

"Evelyn!" I heard my aunt shout my name from her bedroom.

"Please work with this smile on today and frustrate your enemies" Frank said and I laughed loudly before rushing to answer my aunt.

************

"This one that you are singing and working, there must be good news" Judy commented as she smile raising an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"I have never seen you work so happily before" she teased.

I smiled "Judy please don't start"

"Oh but I always tell you every good things that happens to me but you are finding it hard to tell me this one good news" she said as she gave this pitiful face.

I chuckled before looking around and motioned for her to come closer "I want to show you something but I don't know how to leave the house" I said.

"leave that to me" she said and moved into the house and soon came out " come let's go"

"Where are we going?" I ask

"I told your aunt that I want you to follow me out, she accepted"

"Just like that?"

"Yes just like that, now c'mon let's go before she suspects"

I laughed out as we rush out from the house, Judy won't lie to me because she hates putting me in trouble, she knew what she told my aunt to let me follow her but still I was going to use the opportunity well. I took her to where I dug the money and when I dug it out, she was dumbfounded, she covered her mouth.

"Evelyn where did you get such money from?" She asked shocked.

I told her everything that happened yesterday and she was so excited, she kept on hugging me.

"You just found yourself a handsome and rich husband"

"I didn't tell you he proposed"

"It doesn't matter, he gave you such amount of money, dropped you home and I know he's the reason behind your cheerful nature today"

"Just get out" I shouted at her as I feigned annoyance.

"I'll help you keep the money"

I laughed out loud.

"When did he say he's coming back?"

"He didn't say but ... I'm not expecting him back either.....I don't want trouble with my aunt" I said.

"Hmm says the girl who is already blushing at the mention of his name... don't worry you'll tell me how you are missing him soon" she said as we strole back home laughing and chatting, I kept remembering his words to me yesterday.

'keep that smile on everytime, please don't cry again, you are too beautiful to be shedding innocent tears. No one has the right to make you sad.....'.

These words kept me going.
