After four long days of struggling through muddy water, chaos, and fear, little Yumi and baby Mimi finally reached a moment they desperately needed… a warm, safe bath. For days, these tiny monkeys had survived the devastating Aceh flood—clinging to branches, hiding in any dry corner they could find, and waiting for help without fully understanding what was happening around them. Their fur was soaked, sticky, and heavy; their small bodies were tired; and their eyes showed exhaustion that no baby should ever carry.
But today… everything changed.
As soon as they were brought to safety, the first thing they needed—more than food, more than toys—was comfort. And nothing brings comfort to Yumi and Mimi like bath time. The moment they felt the warm water touch their fur, both of them relaxed instantly. Yumi let out a soft little sigh, her tiny fingers gripping gently as if she finally felt the world was safe again. Mimi, who had been trembling nonstop since the rescue, slowly quieted down and leaned into the gentle scrubbing, her eyes blinking softly with relief.
Their fur, once covered in mud and debris from the rushing floodwaters, started to fluff up again. Yumi couldn’t resist splashing a little, showing that spark of her playful spirit returning. Mimi clung to the side of the tub at first—still unsure—but once she realized nothing around her was dangerous anymore, she allowed herself to enjoy the warmth, even letting out a tiny squeak of happiness.
This bath wasn’t just about getting clean.
It was the moment their fear washed away.
It was the moment they remembered they were safe.
It was the moment they truly began to heal.
Seeing Yumi and Mimi relaxing, warming up, and slowly returning to their cheerful selves after everything they survived… it melted everyone’s heart. These two brave little souls went through so much, but today, with clean fur and calm hearts, they finally felt hope again.
