It was a bittersweet afternoon as the time came for Lala to say goodbye to her beloved friend Thuy. The bond between them had grown strong over the past few days — filled with laughter, cuddles, playful moments, and sweet conversations. Thuy had taken such gentle care of Lala, and in her presence, Lala had felt nothing but warmth and happiness.
But now, the car was waiting. CEO Kien, Lala’s official guardian, had come to take her home. Though he loved Lala dearly and provided her with a life of comfort and luxury, today, it wasn’t enough to ease the little one’s sadness. As soon as Lala saw Thuy packing her things, a quiet stillness came over her. Her usually bouncy steps turned into slow shuffles. Her bright eyes, once full of excitement, now shimmered with tears.
Thuy knelt down to give Lala a tight hug. “You’ll be okay, sweetheart,” she whispered, her own voice cracking. “You’ll see me again soon.” But Lala clung tightly to her, burying her face in Thuy’s shoulder, unwilling to let go. The moment tugged at everyone’s heart.
CEO Kien watched from a distance, respectful of the emotional bond the two shared. When he gently called Lala’s name, she looked at him, then back at Thuy, torn between duty and love. Finally, with one last hug and a kiss on the forehead, Thuy helped her into the car.
As the door closed, Lala pressed her little paw to the window, watching Thuy wave goodbye. Her ears drooped and her expression was full of longing. It was clear — Lala wasn’t just leaving a friend, she was leaving a piece of her heart behind.
Though her ride home was quiet, one thing was certain: the love between Thuy and Lala would never fade, and deep down, Lala knew they’d be reunited again. 💔🐾
