"Miu?" Ava smiled. Why would he name the tiger Miu? Was it like the brand? She wondered.
"He said Miu when we met," Matthew uttered.
"Are you sure it's not Meow?" Do Tigers meow? No. They growl! Why would a tiger say Meow?
Astonished, she stared at the tiger as it slowly approached them. She expected the tiger to run towards Matthew and maybe gave him a hug where he would pet it— just like a normal reunion of a human and its pet.
However, nothing like that happened.
Instead, the tiger took its time. And just as it was about three feet away from Matthew, it bowed. It kissed the ground before calmly sitting down with its head still lowered to the ground.
Ava took a step back but Matthew held her hand, preventing her from moving away.
"She's kissing the ground because of you…" Matthew said. "Right Miu?"
"Why would— "
"Shhhh…" Matthew then looked around. "Listen— "
Listen to what?
