A day out. Part 1.

Evans was in terrible situation nowadays, as could notice the complaint on the countenance of his family members which consisted of his wife and two children. Wife was Samantha and children were Alice and Rex. The reason behind such happening was that Evans had been quite busy for the past six months immersed wholly in his duties, which had enormously increased in the past months. He planned a day out for the next Sunday as his thinking was that it will be a holiday and that everyone specially the children will be at home, and obviously since Samantha was a housewife, will be easily available.

             Evans on Friday discussed this with his family, and everyone was pleased to suggest the venue- as the hills nearby, which was more or less fifty kilometres from their place. It was a beautiful place, where there was always a clog of tourists due to it's wonderful scenery and terrific picturesque which attracted a lot of people. It was known for it's sunrise and sunset, people visited to click pictures of the moments from that venue. When the sun glittered from the hills thus spreading it's charming rays from the hills, it appeared no less than a heaven. Same was the case during evenings. Everyone in his family knew about the natural beauty that the place had, hence were elated to suggest it for the excursion.

            The plan was all set with the most sincerity, as it was a place of unanimous choice. The children started to eagerly pack up their necessaries, along with the help of their mother. Evans also thought it important to pack some of his personal belongings. They spent Friday night in preparation and on Saturday overhauled their SUV on which they planned to visit the place. Evans although had 3 vehicles, but the SUV was the most suited for the purpose. Alice and Rex kept all their carriage by Saturday night and they were all set for the voyage. Evans and Samantha put in their luggage early morning. Finally they started by 7' in the morning, as it was an hour journey, hence they didn't worry too much on it. Evans was well versed in driving, hence it didn't take more than fifty minutes to reach the destination. There were people all over that place, as it was a Sunday morning. First Evans with the help of Rex parked the vehicle safely and gradually they unloaded the belongings. They looked for a quiet corner to spread the bedding, which they acquired after some toil, to sit and enjoy. They found a place near a small hut, in the stony corner. They unfurled the bedding quite conveniently and started to live every moment, very soon. There were a lot of families sitting next to them and some were playing music, some playing games, some watching movies on mobile phone. Everyone was enjoying in the best way possible.

            Rex's attention was fully absorbed in the hut, which was at a very short distance from them. He could see the back of an old man, who was probably preparing his breakfast. His clothes were made of rags and reflected his destitution. Rex was an emotional adolescent with a philanthropic and altruistic attitude. Though he was from a well-off family, hence these were some circumstantial traits which were deep rooted in him.
