"Maira tugged at her father's sleeve, her voice tinged with impatience. "Daddy...!! When will we reach? Aiko is bored!!"
Her father chuckled, glancing at Maira through the rearview mirror. "We've already reached, honey!"
Excitement bubbled within Maira as she heard her father's words. With a delighted squeal, she unfastened her seatbelt and opened the car door, her faithful companion Aiko bouncing eagerly beside her. The wooden house, nestled amidst the trees, stood just a stone's throw away from where their car was parked.
Aiko's tail wagged furiously as he and Maira approached their new home, nestled amidst the picturesque countryside. The wooden structure stood proudly, adorned with rustic charm—wooden stairs, a sturdy door, glass windows that sparkled in the sunlight, a green roof, and a brick chimney that exuded warmth.
Though the house was undeniably beautiful, it bore signs of neglect, its once vibrant facade dulled by the passage of time. Yet, to Maira and Aiko, it was a place brimming with promise and excitement.
Eager to explore their new surroundings, Maira dashed towards the door, her excitement palpable in the air. But her mother's cautionary words interrupted her exuberance. "Maira, don't run in new places. You might fall, or—"
Before her mother could finish her warning, Maira lost her footing on the stairs, tumbling to the ground with a cry of pain as her knee scraped against the wooden surface. In an instant, Aiko was by her side, offering comfort with gentle licks to her injured knee.
Her mother rushed to her side, swiftly wrapping a handkerchief around Maira's wounded knee. "This is exactly why I told you not to run," she scolded gently.
But Maira's father interjected, his voice calm yet resolute. "Children need to explore and learn, even if it means they might get hurt along the way. It's all part of growing up."
Her mother sighed, casting a knowing glance at her husband. "You're the one responsible for her adventurous spirit," she remarked with a hint of resignation.
Maira, undeterred by the mishap, declared, "Enough! I want to see more of this amazing place!" With determination in her eyes, she rose to her feet, Aiko by her side once more, and set off to explore the surrounding countryside.
Maira's father called out to her with concern, his voice carrying a note of caution. "Don't venture too deep into that forest, dear. The locals speak of strange happenings, and it could be dangerous with wild animals lurking about."
Maira nodded in acknowledgment but couldn't contain her excitement as she darted straight into the forest, the allure of adventure pulling her deeper into its depths.
Her mother cast a reproachful glance at her husband. "See? She's not even listening to you. You've spoiled her."
"It's just her youthful exuberance, dear," her father replied, attempting to assuage her concerns. "She'll be fine exploring a bit."
