THEO

The next day,

“Have you ever watched the sunset turn into a sunrise or ever wondered, how fast the night changes.” Mike asked while staring at the blank canvas in front of him. He is also cuddling his fluffy little friend cat, called Theo.

“*meow*…*meow*… *sigh*… he is losing his senses again, and becoming a retard…*sigh*…he will never change… *meow*.. … …”

“Hmm…wait… what!?....am I dreaming or did Theo just talk!!” Mike got surprised and sprang from his couch.

At this point, Mike and Theo were on a traditional western stare down(which usually happens before a fierce fight).

“hmmm mmmm mm… … …”Mike glares.

“….*meow*…..” Theo groans.

After 30 minutes of awkward staring competition between Mike and Theo. Mike decides to bring his senses back.

“!!!! Slap!!!!....... Whoa… now I think I am back, and Theo is no longer talking. I should seriously stop imagining stuff, otherwise people will start calling me mad.” Mike relaxed after slapping himself, and he returned back to the real world.

“Now that I am back after wasting a nice amount of time, I think I should get down to some work… … … let’s draw.” Mike started with high spirits.

-----10 minutes later--------

Mike is banging his head on the canvas board,

“I…*bang*… can’t… *bang*… do… *bang*…this...Ahh..Ahh...I have lost my touch, looks like it’s going to take a lot of time to return to my former glories… … … but those were the golden days, spent with my passion… … and… my love…Eva…”,Mike sighs with heavy breath.

“… *meow*…he again lost his senses and got attracted to her, I think men will be men....*meow*...why can’t he just accept the fact, that she loves someone else and he just need to let go of her and give me SOME FOOD!!!...*meow*… …” Theo told Mike.

(according to Mike’s brain)

“You………Come here….you CAT!!!……I can clearly hear you…what sort of magic are you casting on me and what do you mean by ‘he is again getting attracted to her'...huh? … … you were with me the whole time. You very well know that, in order to avoid Eva and let her be with that guy, I switched places and shifted to this apartment, far away from that store. She is just a friend now, and I am not getting attracted to her(Mike shouts at Theo)… … …

… … (speaking softly)… am I?”

Mike retires to his couch once again.

“You are right Theo maybe I am losing it, sorry I shouted at you, wait here let me give you some food.”

Mike gives food to Theo and an idea struck him. He went to his desk and produced a paper with the following message:

“ 1.DON’T CHECK YOUR FRIEND'S RELATIONSHIP STATUS,

2.DON’T WATCH OTHER COUPLES,

3.SLEEP EARLY AND WAKE UP EARLY, 4.DRAW EVERYDAY FOR ATLEAST 10 MINUTES EVERYDAY,

5.DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE TO ENGAGE YOUR MIND SO THAT YOU CAN STOP THINKING ABOUT EVA!!!”

He then went to all of his room, sticking similar notes on every wall of his house so that wherever he looks, he can remember his 'self rule'.

“*meow*… … Now that’s an improvement… *meow*… you should have done that long time ago… *meow*.” Theo thought to himself(according to Mike) while licking his paws.

"Would you….STOP…THINKING…SO….LOUDLY!!!, I can hear everything and it looks like you have developed a very bad habit of mocking me these days." Saying this Mike runs to catch Theo.

"Come here... I got you... I got you... wait!!!!....... *huff*... *puff*... time please... "

"... *meow*... *meow*... "

"Ah.. ha.. got you now, you little ball of fur... where will you go now ... huh?..... hahahah.... "

They both ruin the house’s decorations Mike tries to catch Theo, then he cuddles him and laugh with him.

That day they both watched the sunset turn into a sunrise.
