This story is just a fiction by the author... 😊😊

Zee looked at his childhood home for the last time from the pick-up car he was riding in. The grandmother drove the car to move to another city far away.

"Where are we going, Grandma?" asked Zee sucking her box of chocolate milk with a straw while stroking the little black cat on her lap.

"To Sunflower City" said the grandmother still with a focus on driving concentration.

"Isn't that too far, Grandma?" ask Zee.

"I think it's time you knew something about our family." Grandma Amelia smiled.

About two hours drive the grandmother decided to stop at a store in the rest area.

"Why stop here, Grandma?" ask Zee curiously.

"Eat your stomach first!" said the grandmother brought Zee into the store.

"Hi, good afternoon welcome to our shop, sorry you can't bring any animals into my shop." said the blonde-haired lady to the black cat that Zee was carrying.

"Umm well, I'll put it in the car" said Zee then returned to his parked car in the shop yard and put the cat there.

"You're here first yes, I'll come back to bring food for you" Zee said as she stroked the black cat and locked the car door.

BRUK...!!

"You don't have any eyes ..!!" a boy hit Zee.

"You hit me, why are you scolding me huh." said Zee annoyed.

"Theo.. Let's go baby!" a beautiful woman with a perfectly slender body called out to the boy named Theo.

"In the meantime mommy, there's business I have to finish." Theo held Zee's hand immediately.

"You're gonna have to replace my fallen toy..!" Theo retrieves a toy car from the wood that fell to the ground.

"Look, broken right...? that's why the road uses eyes...!" theo.

"Hahaha since when do humans walk with their eyes, animals walk on their feet." Zee's laughter brushed aside Theo's hand.

"Theo let's go..!"

"Okay.... You freak out when we meet again...!" Theo leaves Zee in the tavern parking lot for his car.

"Based on a dumb kid, wait, what's this?" Zee took the broken toy car that was still on the ground.

"Like the door of his toy car earlier, huh he must be looking for this, I'd better hide it to know the taste." Zee keeps the toy car in his pocket and goes back to the store.

"Why have you been so long, Zee?" ask the grandmother.

"I met a weird kid out there who bumped into me he was scolding me." Zee replied resentfully as he stabbed his egg omelet with a fork and devoured it.

"Based on you, we'll take a short break, next to this store there is lodging, we continue our journey tonight."

"Why should it be night?"

"To be invisible to others."

"I still don't understand why we shouldn't look at anyone else."

"So Zee finish your food tonight Grandma told me."

Amelia's grandmother gave Zee a sharp look.

"This cat is hungry for what it looks like." Zee stroked the little cat inside the small hotel that Grandma had booked. Zee's grandmother had fallen asleep next to Zee.

"What did I say your name was?" Zee tickled the little cat.

"Stop...!"

"Who's voice is that?" Zee turned to his grandmother but was still asleep and searched the room.

"Who is that?" ask Zee.

"I'm in front of you?" say that voice

"In front of me?" Zee stared at the little black cat in front of him.

"Are you the one who makes the pussy sound?" tanya Zee slowly approached the cat.

"Who else do you think is here besides me and your grandmother?"

"You .. There's no way you're talking to me."

Brags.... Zee collapsed unconscious and fell to the floor.

Zee got a pat on the cheek from the grandmother. " Why are you sleeping on the floor?" ask the grandmother.

"Ah... Where is the cat, Grandma?" Zee immediately woke up and scanned the surroundings looking for the black cat.

"I'm here." said the cat.

"Look Nek, look he can talk."

The black cat is now in the lap of the grandmother and pet her.

"Nek stay away from him, lest he be Nek's monster." Zee choked.

"WHAT'S..? i'm monster? hahaha I'm this funny you said monster?" the cat squirms spoiled on grandma's lap.

"What's wrong, Zee, he's your guardian right now" Grandma said, caressing the cat.

"My bodyguard?"

"Yes, every member of our family will have an animal guard, and this cat is your guardian, just like Maya the cat who looks after your mother."

"May..?"

Yes Zee remembers the orange cat who was always with her mother, even though the cat disappeared right now when her mother died.

"Then where is Maya now gone, Grandma?"

"Maya sacrificed her life for your mother she's gone with your mother."

"Do I have to sacrifice my life for this careless girl huh not willing to feel." said the cat.

"Whom do you want to look after, ugly black little cat like you, you don't know how to repay, obviously I helped you first." said Zee annoyed.

The cat stretched its body pretending not to hear Zee.

"Then where's Grandma's guard?"

"She's already sacrificed her life for grandma, and grandma only has one more life to live." Amelia's grandmother shed tears because she remembered Loui***** her guard first.

"So this ugly cat is my keeper huh, hmmm you should follow me from now on, I name it blacky." Zee held back her laughter.

"Look, my name is Blue, my father gave me that name" said the cat.

"Bbbuuaaahh blue is blue, your father is color blind yak hahahaha." Zee's laughter broke.

"Don't you insult my father he sacrificed his life for me, he was willing to get hit by a motorcycle and throw me into the ditch at that time" Blue said sadly.

"Oh sorry I didn't mean it. Then where's your mom?"

"Man took him somewhere with two brothers, when I was born I was dumped and lived with my father who always watched over my mother."

"Sorry Blue." Zee extended her hand to Blue.

"What's this?" ask Blue.

"Let's be friends from now on." said Zee.

"Well it's night, we'll be ready soon."

The wall clock shows exactly at half-twelve p.m. Zee followed her grandmother to the car park and waited for her to check out of the inn.

"Are you sure you want to go out tonight, watch out Mom, what if you meet a bad guy?" said the hostess.

"What are we used to" replied Grandma.

"Be careful" said the madam.

Grandma Amelia's headed for the parking lot.

"It is very kind of the lady, If she knew that if I met the criminals, they would be the ones who should be careful of me." muttered Grandma Amelia smilingly towards Zee.
