What Exactly A Cat Is..... Part-II
II:: Time Spent With Cats Is Never Wasted..... .
Things with my best friend, Isabella and Levy--whois my new friend-- have been going on well. I really liked their company and we shared a lot of secrets. Even though Levy is very humorous, I liked Isabella more-- and hence she became my bestie. Whenever anyone asked the two of us who our best friend is, we always said each others names. I have never been that happy in my life. Those are the things at school. At home I made another two friends---- Rosa and Tiger. They are cats, my cat-friends. Tiger is orange with some shades of white while Rosa is white, but with an exception of her tail--which was black. They never actually visited me nor they knew that they were my friends.
Most of our conversations were made by myself--- through my mind. When my neighbour is out of sight, I will try my best to see the window. Then, I will talk to them, make up their replies and smile to myself. But if I don't see them..... things would change, eventually angry tears flowing along my cheeks.
So, this was my life---- cats, friends and happiness.

"But I do WANT a cat!!!!" i shouted at my mom.
"You wouldn't be able to take care of it. Its not as easy as you think." : said my mom, without even a slightest glance into my direction-- engrossed in work.
"But---"
"and what about the money? Who would spend such a lot of money on pets!! That too a CAT!? "
"Cats are Gods. We should be happy that we could get them with some paper pieces!"
That set her off, and she turned to face me--studying my short body which didn't show any sign that i am a 10 year old. After a few moments, she spoke:
"Listen, you are never going to get a cat OR any OTHER pet! This is the end of our pet-conversation. You understand?"
I stared at her and said a feeble 'yes'.
I felt dejected, and I walked into my courtyard. It was an August, isn't that a merry time? A time of colours and flowers?Then why is it gloomy for me??
I saw Rosa and Tiger cat along with their mother. It has only been three months and those kitties have grown a lot. While, Im still the same....
I don't know how, but Rosa and Tiger cat are now a part of my life. They became something irresistible. It was while watching them, that the idea of keeping a pet cat flashed into my mind.
Rosa looked up at me. I suddenly realised that her lime-green eyes were so alluring.
'Well, I think you will have to be my cat till I grow up, then.' I whispered.
A breeze filled with sweet scent flew over me and I smiled making calculations for my future.
Maybe, Rosa can be a good pet, I guess.....
