Little Monee sat alone, her tiny body tense as she looked around the quiet space. Something didn’t feel right.
Mom and Daddy weren’t there.
At first, she made soft sounds.
“Eee… eee…”
Her small hands moved as she searched, her eyes scanning every corner, hoping to see them come back.
But time passed.
And they still didn’t return.
Her face changed.
Her lips trembled.
Then suddenly—
“EEEEEE!”
Monee let out a sharp, piercing scream, her voice filled with anger and loneliness. The sound echoed loudly, breaking the silence around her.
“Eee! Eee!”
She cried again and again, louder each time. Her tiny body shook as her emotions grew stronger.
She didn’t understand why they were gone so long.
She only knew she felt alone.
Her cries became more intense, her voice sharp and desperate as she called out for them. Every second without Mom and Daddy made her feel more upset.
Then—
Footsteps.
The door opened.
Mom and Daddy came back.
Monee’s screaming paused for a moment—then turned into even louder cries, this time mixed with relief.
They rushed to her.
The moment she was picked up, everything changed.
Her body relaxed.
Her cries softened into small sobs.
Now safe in their arms, Monee calmed down, holding on tightly as if she didn’t want them to leave again.
For little Monee, even a short time apart feels too long—because all she wants is to be close to the ones she loves.
