It was an ordinary afternoon—at least, that’s what Lala thought.
The sun peeked through the windows, and the house was calm. Lala was curled up on her favorite rug, half-napping, when CEO Kien walked in holding a small box wrapped in gold ribbon.
He knelt beside her and smiled. “I’ve got something for you.”
Lala lifted her head, ears twitching, curious. A gift? For her?
She approached the box slowly, sniffing the edges. It smelled like new fabric… and a hint of chicken? Her tail started wagging.
Kien gently untied the ribbon and opened the lid.
Inside was a beautifully crafted collar—soft pink leather with a heart-shaped tag that read “Lala – Loved Always.” Next to it was a matching charm shaped like a little star, and underneath, a folded note that read: “For my best girl.”
Lala blinked, almost unsure what to do. She had never seen something so delicate, so her.
Kien slipped the collar gently around her neck. “You deserve something special,” he whispered. “Not just because you’re cute, but because you bring light into this home every single day.”
Lala stood still, then did a slow spin, the little star charm twinkling in the light. She pranced around proudly, tail high, eyes sparkling with joy. Bibi clapped and laughed from across the room. “She loves it!”
Kien picked her up and kissed her head. “Now everyone will know you’re my star.”
Lala nuzzled his chin and let out a soft, happy sigh. It wasn’t just a collar—it was a symbol of how deeply she was cherished.
Because the best gifts aren’t just beautiful… they remind us we’re truly loved.
