Little Jasmine noticed it right away.
Mom stepped out of the room for a short moment, leaving her inside safely. But for Jasmine, it didn’t feel safe—it felt like she was alone.
At first, she looked around quietly.
“Eee…?”
A small, unsure sound came from her.
But when Mom didn’t come back immediately—
Her face changed.
Her lips trembled.
Then suddenly—
“EEEEEE!”
Jasmine burst into a loud angry cry, her voice filled with fear and frustration. Her tiny body shook as she cried harder and louder.
“Eee! Eee!”
She moved around, looking toward the door, calling out again and again. Being alone, even for a moment, felt overwhelming to her.
She didn’t understand.
She only knew she wanted Mom.
Her cries echoed through the room, sharp and emotional.
Then—
Footsteps.
Mom came back.
The moment Jasmine saw her, she cried even louder for a second, reaching out immediately.
Mom quickly picked her up.
Instantly—
The crying softened.
Her body relaxed as she clung tightly, feeling safe again.
For little Jasmine, even a short moment alone feels too big—but love and reassurance always bring her back to calm.
