"Baby... I'm gonna miss you," malungkot na sabi ni Mommy.

I smiled and hugged her. "I'll take care of myself naman po, eh. Don't worry," sabi ko.

"Just make sure na buong-buo ka pa pag-uwi mo, ha..." birong sabi niya na sinabayan pa ng tawa.

"Hala ka! Grabe ka, Mommy, ah. Hindi naman po ako ganoon," sabi ko pabalik at kumalas na sa yakap. "Basta, ikaw din. Wag na feeling bata, okay? Feeling teenager ka pa naman, Mommy," I also joked.

"Grabe ka din," nag-pout siya tsaka ako yinakap ulit. "I will miss you, Baby Yu..." ramdam na ramdam ko na malungkot siya. It would be hard for her seeing me leaving. But I'm leaving, technically. I'll just go to another school and study. The difference is that, I wouldn't be around for some time.

"Yeah. I'll miss you too," sagot ko.

"Okay, andito na pala ang Dad mo..." turo nito sa labas. Napatingin naman ako sa labas at nandoon nga ang aking Dad na nakasandal sa color red na Audi. Kumaway ito at nag-gesture nang 'halika na'.

Humarap ulit ako kay Mama at ngumiti. "Mom..." Pinigilan ko ang aking luha. "Bye po," I waved at her at tumalikod na upang pumunta sa labas.

Whoooo! This is my first time being away from my family. I used to study at my school Antonino High School. Then ngayong 4th year, doon na ako sa Demeter State University. Though, I'm worried kung ano ang madadatnan ko doon. I mean, look, all my life, I have never been away from my family and the school I am in before deciding to transfer was nothing but to always keep me guarded. Lagi akong binabantayan halos lahat ng faculty because my Dad says so. Right now, I told Dad not to use his authority to order around.

Well... I guess, may magiging friends din naman ako doon. DSU wouldn't be on the toppest rank if all the people in there are alll slaughterheads. Sorry for the word.

"Princess..." sabi ni Dad at kinuha ang mga maleta ko. Pagkatapos nitong malagay sa likod ng sasakyan ang mga gamit ko, pumasok na kami sa loob. Walang nagsasalita habang nasa biyahe. Alam kasi namin na baka magka-iyakan kung mag-lilitanya ng kanya-kanyang hinaing. Nako, knowing father when it comes to me, very emotional.

Itinigil na ni Dad ang sasakyan sa tapat ng napakalaking gate ng DSU.

Napatulala lang ako doon.

"Princess, dito ka nalang mag-aral sa sasakyan kung ayaw mong bumaba."

Napa-tingin naman ako kay Daddy na halatang pinipigilan ang luha niya. Hay nako, Dad.

Lumapit ako sakanya at yinakap siya. "I will miss you. I love you, Dad..."

Hinagod niya ang likod ko habang ako ay pinahid ang mga luha ko. All my life, I have been in my parents' guidance and they have taught me very well about cherishing your family. This will gonna be my first time being away from them at kung hindi ko tatatagan ang sarili ko ngayon pa lang, baka hindi kakayanin sa loob ng paaralang iyon.

I have to held my head straight up high so that my goal-independence-shall be reached.

Sabay kaming bumaba sa sasakyan. I observed the school.

Kitang-kita ang naglalakihang facilities mula sa labas. The gate is also furnished very neat and well-designed. The pathways are correspondent to the color palette of the school which is beign to brown. From the outside, I can see students walking back and forth to wherever they are going and from there, I can say that the population of the school is more than what I expected.

"Princess, here are our things..." inilapag ni Dad ang mga maleta ko sa tabi ko at yinakap ako ng napakahigpit. "Mamimiss talaga kita, princess..." kumalas na siya. "Sabihan mo ako kung may umaaaligid na mga lalaki sa'yo, ah. Nang mabanatan ko naman..."
