Monkey Kaka is usually full of energy, running around and playing with excitement. But on days when she can’t be with her dad, her mood changes completely. She becomes quiet, withdrawn, and even a little bored. One such day, Kaka lay under the warm sun, staring off into the distance with a sad expression, longing for the comfort of her dad’s embrace.
The sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a golden glow on Kaka’s soft fur. Normally, she would enjoy sunbathing—rolling around, stretching, and basking in the warmth. But today, she wasn’t in the mood. Instead, she lay still, her tiny hands resting under her chin, sighing from time to time. Anyone who saw her could tell she was feeling down.
She missed the way her dad would hold her close, rubbing her back gently while whispering to her. She missed climbing onto his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his neck, and feeling completely safe in his embrace. Without him there, everything felt different—quieter, emptier, and far less exciting.
Even when her caregivers tried to cheer her up by bringing her favorite fruits, Kaka only nibbled at them absentmindedly. She wasn’t interested in playing, eating, or even interacting with others. Instead, she just gazed at the sky, wondering when she would see her dad again.
After a while, she slowly sat up, looking toward the path where her dad usually came from. Was today the day he would return? Her little heart hoped so, but as the minutes passed, she realized she had to wait a little longer. With another deep sigh, she curled up again, letting the sun warm her as she dreamed of their next hug.
No matter how long they are apart, one thing is certain—Monkey Kaka’s love for her dad is unwavering. And when they finally reunite, all the boredom and sadness will be replaced with joy, laughter, and, most importantly, a long-awaited hug.
