One sunny afternoon, Lala and Mom traveled to her grandmother’s house in the countryside. The air there was fresh, the garden was filled with flowers, and Lala loved running around chasing butterflies. But after hours of playing, her fur was messy and dusty.
Grandmother gently laughed. “This little one has been playing too much! She needs a nice bath.” Just then, CEO Kien, who had come to visit, offered to help. Though known for being a busy and serious man at work, around Lala he was surprisingly gentle.
He carefully prepared warm water in a wooden tub, adding a few drops of fragrant herbal oil that Grandmother had made. The soothing scent of lemongrass and lavender filled the room, making Lala feel curious and excited.
“Come here, Lala,” CEO Kien said softly, rolling up his sleeves. He gently placed her in the tub and splashed water over her back. Lala giggled and relaxed, enjoying the warmth. Kien lathered her fur with natural soap made from rice milk and honey, scrubbing with care as if she were the most precious thing in the world.
Grandmother watched with a smile. “You see, Lala, even someone as busy as Uncle Kien knows how to give special care when it’s from the heart.”
After the bath, Kien wrapped Lala in a soft towel and gently dried her fur. He even brushed it neatly until she looked fresh, clean, and glowing.
Feeling pampered, Lala hugged Kien tightly, her eyes sparkling. “Thank you!” she chirped. Kien chuckled, patting her head. “You deserve the best care, little one.”
That evening, Lala snuggled up beside her grandmother, still smelling of herbs and honey, remembering the kindness she received. It was a moment of love, family, and gentle care she would never forget.
