It's already in the middle of the night, yet my friends and family don't want to leave me here in the airport alone. We're in the departure area of the airport, waiting for my flight to be called.
"Are you really sure about this Ate?" my little brother ask.
"Yes lil' bro, don't worry, I'll visit you when I have time, or you can visit me there you know?" I told him before hugging him.
"I'll miss you ate, call me anytime!" he told me.
"Yeah, yeah, ask kuya to accompany you to go there when you miss me, alright?" I told him and I face my parents and kuya to bid a goodbye.
"You hate goodbyes but you'll saying goodbye to us right now" kuya told me and hugged me tight.
"You can still back out sis, I know your Ate can understand my decision and your decision about this" he added while looking straight to my eyes.
"*chuckled* I know you'll miss me too, Kuya" I said, teasing my older brother.
"Of course sis, my prince won't see my beautiful sister everytime we visit your house" he said and kiss me on my forehead.
"Take care sweetheart okay? Call us anytime when you need something" my mother said preventing herself to cry.
My dad hugged me and kiss me on my forehead too and hugged my mother after.
"I already ask our people to clean our house there, and assign bodyguards to watch you while you're staying far away from us" dad said.
"Dad, I can handle myself, don't worry too much" I told dad, their always like that, protective as ever, even though I'm just going somewhere near.
"We'll go there after our work here okay?" my mother ask.
I nod. "Up to you Mom" I answer to my mother and hugged them for the last time before going to my friends.
"Hey" they called me for a hug, so we hugged each other while their crying like a babies.
"Don't cry, you all look ugly." I said and smile at them but they didn't smiled back.
I rolled my eyes. "I'll come back, don't worry." I assured them about me, coming home here.
"Take care of yourself there, don't be too serious and quiet all the time" one of my friends said.
"Yeah whatever" I said.
"We're not there, so talk to your employees to prevent them saying that your too serious and looks like you want to bite them anytime" another friend of mine said, teasing me before they all laugh out loud.
"Tell that to, who really bite people" I said, teasing my friend back.
They rolled their eyes to me, guilty as charged.
"But seriously, let them see your other side, they are your employees after all" they said and I nod giving them small smile.
"You don't want to tell them that you're leaving the country?" they ask.
"You can tell them tomorrow, we're supposed to have celebration party for our graduation, remember?" I answered them, giving my permission.
"What about calling them right now?" they still insist but I still refuse.
"No need for that" I said and smile.
They gave up and just hugged me before they headed home. My family also hugged for the last time, my mother still crying as if they can't visit me anytime whenever they want to.
She's still in my Dad's arms, she might brokedown any minute if they still stay here inside the departure area of the airport.
"Bye for now, I'll come back, whenever I'm ready, don't worry about me" I said and watch them leave the airport.
I wave my hands when they look back where they left me standing.
"Miss, should we go?" I look to my bodyguard when one of them talk.
"Our flights' been called already five minutes ago Miss, we should get inside" they added and look at the entrance before looking at me.
I nod and they get my things before going inside. We stop in the check-in counter to hand our bags and luggage and while checking our plane tickets.
My bodyguards go inside the plane first as I told them to, I take pictures of the sky and wait it to be posted in my social media account and walk inside the plane. I sat in my reserve seat and put my earphones on my ear that plugged in, in my mp3, before leaning against my chair comfortably.
I looked at the picture I take a while ago before turning my phone off. It's the dark sky with the lights coming from the airport and from the moon as I put caption to it before posting.
'Until the moon let us meet again.'
