Lala’s eyes welled up with tears as she looked around the room one last time. The joyful laughter of the children still echoed in her ears, but her heart was heavy. She had spent many beautiful days with them—playing, laughing, learning, and cuddling. Each child had become a little part of her world, and leaving them behind felt like letting go of a piece of her soul.
When CEO Kien arrived to take Lala home, she hesitated. He gently called her name, his voice filled with warmth and love, but Lala stood still. The children ran over, wrapping their little arms around her, some whispering “Don’t go, Lala,” while others pressed their cheeks against hers. It was clear that their bond with her was more than just playtime—it was heartfelt, pure, and deeply emotional.
CEO Kien knelt beside her, placing a soft hand on her back. “It’s time to go home now, sweetheart,” he said softly. He knew this goodbye wouldn’t be easy. Lala had made a huge impact on the children’s lives, and they had done the same for her.
With a deep, gentle sigh, Lala slowly turned to face the kids. She gave each one a little hug, her tail swaying low and slow, a sign of her sadness. Then, with one last longing look, she stepped toward the door with CEO Kien by her side. Her ears twitched as she heard a final chorus of “We love you, Lala!”
As the door closed behind her, Lala looked back once more, her eyes filled with emotion. CEO Kien picked her up and held her close. “You’ve made them so happy, Lala. And you’ll see them again soon,” he whispered.
Though her heart ached, Lala knew this wasn’t the end—just a tender pause in a beautiful story of love and friendship.
