Chapter 7 - Your Name Is Milo

"Mamma! Onee-san and Miko are back!" 

Her sweet voice is the light of this nuclear family. I do wonder if Miko wouldn't have been then what would be the condition of this family? A kid like you had even found a boyfriend it seems. 

Tsk! What a hilarious joke! Hahaha! 

"Welcome back, My Little Baby! Well, what are you smiling at?" 

Me? I-I can't explain to you, Mom. 

"What? Can't I even Smile in this family, huh?" 

"Ok-Ok. Do as you please. But for now, go, take a hot bath." 

"Sure!" 

Ha…, I'm feeling so fresh after a bath. By rubbing my hair I just walked out of the lavatory and then the room. A delicious food smell had almost occupied the house in the form of fog when I sniffed it. 

"Hey, Mom. What are you preparing?" 

"Just something that you like, baby!" 

Oh my gosh! What it can be that I like. Alas, I couldn't know until it was placed on the dining table. 

"Here is your favourite food, Baby~"

Whoa! I was so amazed when I saw stick food and other more luscious foods on the table. 

"Onee-san! Lift me!" 

"Yeah, yeah."  

We had our dinner and I went back to my room to sleep. Yeah, with this Little Monster. This silly girl won't sleep properly nor will she allow me to sleep, I guess. 

...Good-Morning...

"Haiz…, What's the ti…me…?" 

Gosh. I'm so sleepy, I couldn't even open my eyes…Haiz… Wait. Why is my body feeling so heavy all of a sudden? I was jolted as I found a brown cat on my chest. 

"Eh! Hey, how did you get into my room?" 

It just rubbed its head on my neck and looked at me with those sharp, big Saffron eyes. What's that glint in those eyes…? 

"Onee-san! It's my cat!" 

Phew…, it was Miko's cat. I thought it was an alien cat which was transported over here for any stupid mission you can think of. 

"Hey, Little Monster, Remove this cat from my body." 

"Okie-Dokie~" 

"Well, Little Monster, what is your cat's name?" 

"I don't know, Onee-san." 

You don't know the cat's name. Idiot. I guess she brought it up recently but as far as I know, there wasn't any cat in our family, isn't it? From where she picked up this Brown and cold-blooded cat. 

Whatever. Anyhow, Today is Sunday and school will be closed. So what can I do today for my happiness? Let's find it out after breakfast! 

♪Little--Little steps on, I reached downstairs. Though my head was aching, I chose to eat now.♪

"Hey, Mom~ Good morning." 

I just wish to not receive any screaming morning greetings. 

"Good morning, baby!" 

Shh, as I thought, I received screaming morning greetings again. With a silly smile on my face, I stepped to the dining table. In the mode of enjoying it, I saw Miko playing with her cat. I guess It's a male one. 

"Hey, Little Monster, did you think of a name for your cat?" 

"Ah, Not yet, Onee-san. Why won't you give a name to my cat? I know you do have some cool names." 

You know. Haha, silly. Well, this Brown cat with saffron eyes then I should call it Milo it matches Miko's name though. 

"Milo. Milo is your name from now onwards." 

Milo's hair was so soft just like a sponge. After a few little squeezes, It drove me hard to take my hand off it. His hair is so fluffy~ 

I liked it. But his sharp eyes are…making me uncomfortable. 

"Aww, this name is so cute just like our Miko, isn't it?" 

"I don't know, Mom. Well, can I have a glass of orange juice?"

I'm feeling so thirsty, I don't know why…? I guess It's because of Milo. Maybe not Milo but his sharp, killing eyes. Such a freaking coldness! 

"Here's your orange juice."

"Thank you, Mom." 

As my eyes turned I found Uncle Ren walking toward the dining table with a laptop in his arms. He's still working this early morning, whoa. It's Sunday, isn't it? Then why the hell he's still glued to the laptop, ha? 

Whatever, just ignore it, Moon. You have nothing to do with him, anyhow. 

"Miko, Why did you bring this useless cat into our house?!" 

Huh? Why is he shouting like a bull?! 

"Uncle Ren, Speak politely when it comes to young people. And this cat is mine. It's my wish if I wanna bring a cat or dog into this house." 

If you have any problem just get lost. Idiotic Rascal! 

"Moon! Is this the way you speak to your Uncle?!" 

"Mom, First you teach your boyfriend how to speak with someone younger than him, not shouting at me for no reason." 

I will be good until my day will be good as innocent. 

"Shut up, Moon. Is this what your father taught you?!"

"He taught better than anyone else! And you don't even have a right to speak about my Dad, he's the best father in my eyes!" 

"If he had taught you better than anyone else then where has all manners gone, huh?! Don't show your attitude towards me!" 

He pointed out my manners. That means he's pointing out my Father's manners. I literally hate the people who point out my Father's demeanour. Only I know how my Father was and who he was, not any outsiders. If I wish I can make him down with my vulgar language but only by seeing my Mom's eyes. I was quiet till here. 

"Moon, Just shut up! Does Father like to see you in this manner?" 

Mom? Even now you decided to support your second husband, Tsk! I should have died before this would happen and my heart would break into pieces. 

"Who's Wife you were before, Ms. Lilly Fowler?" 

I know this sentence would sound so abnormal to you, Mom but you should know before you speak. 

"You were Mr. Chirapaisarnsakul's beloved Wife. My Father's beloved wife before marrying this young man, Ren Kiyoko! Don't forget these words, Mom. Please!" 

I have no more words to speak so I walked directly out of the house, not even my body was covered with thick clothes. It's the cold weather outside though it wasn't the winter months the climate would always remain in its way of chilling moods. 

Shh, Mom would be sad right now. I shouldn't have said that, right? But I said what she should be aware of. I shouldn't overthink now, it's not good for my health.
