After several days without seeing her beloved Mom Lan Anh, little Lala had grown unusually quiet. Her days were still filled with playtime, snacks, and occasional mischief, but something was missing—someone. Each time the gate creaked open, Lala would perk up, eyes wide and hopeful, only to drop her head in disappointment when it wasn’t Mom. Everyone around her could see it—Lala missed her deeply.
Then, on a sunny afternoon, something magical happened. The gate opened once more, and this time, a familiar voice called out gently, “Lala!” For a split second, Lala froze, as if unsure if her ears were playing tricks on her. But when she looked up and saw Mom Lan Anh standing there, smiling with open arms, Lala’s heart leaped.
With a joyful squeal, she dashed forward, her tiny feet barely touching the ground. She threw herself into Mom Lan Anh’s arms, wrapping her arms tightly around her neck, refusing to let go. It was a moment of pure love and reunion. The way she clung to Mom, nuzzling her cheek and chattering excitedly, made it clear how much she had missed her.
Mom Lan Anh, just as emotional, scooped Lala up and twirled her around, laughing through tears. “I missed you so much, my sweet girl,” she whispered. The two sat together for a long time, Lala holding onto her hand as if afraid she might disappear again.
Later, Lala showed Mom everything she had been up to—her drawings, her favorite toys, and even where she liked to sit in the garden. Her energy had returned tenfold, and her bright smile was once again shining.
Though the days apart had felt long, their reunion proved that the bond between them was unbreakable. For Lala, seeing Mom Lan Anh again was the happiest surprise of all—and her little heart was whole once more. ❤️
