The morning felt brighter than usual for little Monkey Cubis. For days, he had been glancing toward the gate, hoping to see his dad return. Each evening, he sat by the window, tail wrapped around himself, staring at the empty path. But today, there was a different energy in the air—Cubis just knew something special was about to happen.
Sure enough, in the distance, a familiar figure appeared. Dad was finally home! The moment Cubis recognized him, his eyes lit up and his heart seemed to leap. Without a second’s hesitation, he darted toward the gate, feet pattering against the ground.
“Dad! Dad!” Cubis squealed, his voice trembling with joy. He threw himself into his father’s arms, wrapping his little arms around him with all the strength he could muster. It wasn’t just a hug—it was the kind that seemed to say, I missed you more than words can ever tell.
Dad laughed warmly, holding Cubis close and ruffling his fur. “I missed you too, my boy,” he said softly. For a moment, the world around them seemed to fade away. It was just the two of them—reunited at last after so many days apart.
Cubis refused to let go right away. He pressed his face into Dad’s shoulder, breathing in his familiar scent, as if to reassure himself this wasn’t a dream. His tail swished happily, and his little hands held on tighter.
After a long while, Dad gently set him down, but Cubis stayed close, holding his hand as they walked inside together. They talked, laughed, and shared snacks, catching up on every little thing that had happened while they were apart.
That night, as Cubis curled up beside Dad, he felt an overwhelming sense of comfort. He didn’t need anything fancy—just the warmth of being close to the one he loved most.
Sometimes, the simplest hugs carry the biggest emotions. And for Cubis, this reunion was a memory he’d treasure forever.
