A Gift?

When I entered the room I was stupefied. Yes completely stupefied. To ensure that I was not mistaken, I turned around and asked my dear brother.

"What is this Nao?"

"What do you think it is?"

There sitting on the sofa was a Maltipoo, it paws folded together. Its fur was of sandy tint. It seemed to be asleep. <Seriously.>

I looked at Nanao, dumbfounded. Nanao smiled at me. He picked up the dog and petted it.

“Well do you like it? Come, don’t be afraid.” He beckoned me to come close and off course I obliged. As I slowly approached the creature, it slightly opened its eyes to look at me, I could see my reflection in its brown eyes. I slowly but cautiously moved my hand through its fur. It wiggled seemingly enjoying the touch.

Well, it was kind of cute and the thing that made me like it more was that it was given by Nao.

"I love it."

“That’s good.”

“Is it a she or he?”

“She.”

<I hope it will not fight with Waltz like Tom and Jerry show where spike fights with tom. Well, whatever. But there is a thing that makes me worried.'

"I pity this poor soul."

"What do you mean that 'you pity this poor soul'?" Nanao asked, seemingly confused.

'Oops.....I said that loud.'

"What I mean is that I hope it will not end up like that little hamster."

"Well, about that...… I really pity that hamster."

I shivered at the thought of what happened to that little hamster. To make it clear to you I had a little hamster when I was 6 years old gifted by my aunt who lives abroad.

I was very happy and I named him Heans the hamster. He was very cute and he would always play on the wheel. But one day, a disaster happened on him. My little sister, the little disaster, gave him pizza sauce to eat. And the worse thing is that I never got his corpse.

Nanao's POV:

Well I pity that soul. Mizuka gave him pizza sauce to eat and that poor thing died immediately. She buried his corpse in the garden. Fortunately, when I was gardening, I saw a bump in the soil and what I found in there was the body of that pitiful hamster.

I didn't had the heart to tell Sakura as she cried all day for that hamster and mother had to buy her another pet as a compensation and that was our little cat Waltz.

Sakura's pov:

And the worse thing is that I never got his corpse. But mother had to buy me Waltz as compensation. Now I never make Waltz go out of my room when Mizuka is home. I fear that he will meet the same end as Heans.

My little sister, Mizuka Shiraishi, she is a disaster. She gets what she wants or otherwise she destroys it. And she plays a lot of pranks.

Well, we all are used to her pranks but whenever any of my friends come to my house, they are also not spared by her pranks. She is the little devil of our house. Only sister Rumi and brother Seiya can handle her.

By the way, brother Seiya is the oldest of us. Seiya Shiraishi, he is the heir of our family as he is the oldest one among us siblings. He currently manages a theme park owned by our family.

On the other hand, sister Rumi is second oldest of us. She is a fashion designer and works in aunt Faleya's boutique.

And back to the present, I like this cute puppy.

"Nao, I will name him...….Brownie. Yes, Brownie. What do you think?"

"Brownie, but why Brownie?"

"Because his colour is brown like the chocolate brownie Hana always makes for me."

"Um....okay. Well, it is a nice name... Brownie. As expected of you. Good job naming him."

Is this just my imagination or did I really saw Nao laughing.

"Nao, you are laughing at me. I know I don’t have good naming sense. Humph."

"Okay, sorry."

Well I should forgive him this time but there is something wrong as if someone’s glaring.

And when I look at the entrance of the room.

There it is, our little Waltz glaring at Brownie and...….. I have a bad feeling about this.
