"What's going on" I asked. "Listen honey, Andy. We have to leave New York now" my mother said that surprised me. "What" I shouted. "Why do we need to leave New York" I asked. "Princess... just follow us, this is for your own sake" my father said.

I don't know what to do but just too silently cry. I'm thinking about Gail and Clarkson; I just gave a word that I won't leave.

"How about Gail and Clarkson" I asked. "You can use the mail when we arrived in the Philippines" my mother said. "Philippines" I asked. "That is the country where our other family and relatives live Andy" my mother said. "What do you mean" I asked. "You are also a Filipino princess" my father answered.

That explains everything, I heard about that place, it is describe by many that place is great when you have vacation or something like that. I don't know but I feel nervous, New York and Philippines have much difference with each other, the Language, culture, tradition and other things.

"We will be fine there and in the Philippines, you can meet more friends in there. Honey, you should know that Filipinos are known for being friendly and being hospitable persons" my mother said. "How can I even communicate with them when I use English while they are also using there's" I asked. "They can understand you Honey and even some can also speak" my mother said.

Well that gives me a little bit of relief but I am thinking about Gail and Clarkson. I know that they will be disappointed with me. And I know they will be disappointed at me and I know that I will hurt them also and I can't think clearly. Right now, I can expect from the two of them that they are really furious with me. I can imagine it through my mind.

I noticed that my father looks tenser than few moments ago. Then, he drives faster right now as if like we are escaping from somebody but whom? I know nothing that we have enemies that will be chasing us if ever.

"Mom, dad are we escaping something or someone" I asked. "We are not escaping something or someone honey. It's just that we have to leave New York because the family needs us there" my mother answered.

Until in just a blink of the eye, we arrived in the airport. Then, my parents are in the hurry in letting our baggage out in the car and I think that my things are already there already and even my stuff toys are in the bag.

"Mom, dad I don't think I can left my friends behind without saying my farewells" I said. "Andy don't so be a hard headed right now we have to leave before the plane takes off" my father said seriously.

And so, I don't have any choice but to follow my family. I'm still a kid to oppose their decisions for the family. All I think in my mind is that I am sorry for leaving behind my friends especially Gail and Clarkson. I promised to myself that one day, I will return here and when I returned here I would not leave New York ever again. New York is my home and this is the place where I belong. The place where I born and where I grow up as a child.

"Hurry Andy" my mom said. So I move faster, "Andy what's going on" my younger brother asked. "We have to leave New York so that we can see our other family and relatives in the Philippines" I answered. "What are you waiting for?! Let's go" my younger brother said excitedly.

I'm happy because I see my brother happy and the same time I am sad because I have to leave New York that is my home, my friends and my childhood memories here in New York. When the time that the plane will take off, it only means one thing for me and that is the meaning of another chapter of my life is about to happen.

I am afraid of facing that another chapter because I don't know what will happen to me the next day already. I am afraid of many things and I wish Gail and Clarkson are with me to support and cheer me up when I feel afraid or something.

"Good morning mam, sir" the stewardess said. "Good morning" my parents said. "Passport and ticket" the stewardess said.

Then my mother handover the passports and the tickets... my time here in New York are getting lower and lower. As the times are almost done... I feel heavy and it's getting heavier.

"Enjoy your flight mam, sir" the stewardess said and returns the passport and the ticket.

Then the next moments... I all knew is that I'm already setting foot in the airplane that will take me in the Philippines. It's getting near and then I see my parents organizing our things. I and my sisters are sitting in front of each other while beside me is my father. The seats beside us in our left side are where my mother and my brother seated.

"Dad" I said. "Princess, are you hungry" my father asked. "No dad" I answered. "What is it then" my father asked. "I'm going to miss New York" I answered. "Don't worry, one day you can be able to return here in New York. When that happened I know that you would be really happy and I would be also really happy for you" my father said. "I would be really I mean big time happy when that happened" I said.

Then I heard the captain pilot announced or is it one of the flight attendants that just announced that we are about to take off and we should turn off our phones or put them in flight mode already. This is it, goodbye New York. One day I would return somehow.
