The Hardest Goodbye :'(

I could not sleep after sahur. I kept unzipping my luggage, making sure I'm bringing all the stuff I need to. More stuff in and more stuff out. Few more hours and I was still not ready.

One hour before departing to the airport and I was all set. I looked around the house. Goodbye room. Goodbye bed. Goodbye pink wall. Goodbye kitchen. Goodbye house. Then it was time to say goodbye to my favourite kittens - Socky and Luna :(

I came downstairs and found my cousin was waiting. She handed me her phone. It was my aunt, far away in Kedah. I ran outside where I could be alone.

"Hello?" My voice was shaking and I cried. She was crying too. She gave me some advice and apologise for not able to be there. "Take care. Love you. Good luck." And she ended the call.

I'm not ready for this. I'm never gonna be ready to say goodbye to my family. To Moma, Dado and those three grizzly bears!

Then my uncle and aunty came with MK and they gave me the best present ever. Finally, we were ready to leave the house.

I arrived at the airport and it was four hours before my departure. But time seemed to fly so fast. Faster than I ever experienced before.

Amoi came and I cried hugging her goodbye. Then my schoolmates came. Then my girlfriend came. It's been two years since I got the chance to hang out with her. Thank God we could meet once again before I fly off. I hugged her and cried, again. Then my childhood buddies came. Then it was time to say goodbye.

Of all the tears I've cried that day and few days before, none of it was because of my family. Just few minutes before I enter the departure gate and those tears finally came out. I hugged Moma and I swear I couldn't let her go. How can I ever live without her? It broke my heart when I saw her tears. Then I hugged Dado. He was ready to let his not-so-little girl go but I was not. I cried even more. I turned to my not-so-baby brother. Hugged him and wish him luck in SPM. Then my baby sister, my only sister. "I'm gonna miss you. Good luck and love you. Be sure to call me everyday!" I cried harder. Then my last baby brother. Such a tall guy for such a small age. "Be a good boy baby, good luck in UPSR. Love you." Last hug and I entered the departure hall.

Goodbye.
