Chapter 6: The Start Of A New Start

Just like they planed, after a week tita and tito are going back to Japan.

Adaption takes a several years, but for tita and tito it will just took them a month. How? Money can make everything move.

Today is Sunday, I did start my Japanese class yesterday.

After the mass, we went out to eat lunch then we went to airport after. I also said to the nun who talked to me last Sunday, that I won't be needing the sponsorship anymore because I will migrate to Japan.

We are currently here at the airport to escort them.

"Bye, Sabrianna, mommy will miss you"

Yesterday tita Akichiyo, told me that I shouldn't call him tita anymore, I should be calling him mommy or mom.

"Bye, mom and dad. I will miss you too, take care."

"Bye, you should take care too. Wait for us, okay? We will come back to get you after a month. " Dad said.

"Yes, I'll be waiting for you." I said.

Then they say their last goodbye to us.

When they lost in our sight, we decided to go home.

I feel empty today.

I want to do something to entertain myself, so decided to read the reviewer my Japanese teacher gave me.

I just read it until dark. Time flew fast.

My routine continued like that, for a month. Every Saturday I attend my Japanese class, we don't do a lot of things in school because the teachers are busy preparing for the school year closing program, so I have a lot of time to review for my Japanese class. My Japanese teacher told me that I was her first student to memorize all the things she's telling me to memorize.

They thought that I will need 5 years to study the 3 types of writing in Japanese, but it looks like it will just took me a year.

I can continue my Japanese class when I'm in Japan.

After two weeks, it's our closing program. Mom and dad wants to attend it, but unfortunately they are very busy.

So they sent me a bouquet of flower and some chocolates.

We had a little celebration in our home.

Next school year, I will be on 6th grade. I just learned yesterday than the classes in Japan starts at April, and here in Philippines classes ends at March, and as mom says my first month in Japan will be tiring because she will introduce me to everybody, that's why I'm preparing myself.

The program starts at 8 A.M, and it's expected to end at pass 11 A.M.

The principal is giving his closing remarks. "--- once again congratulations to all the graduates, as you leave this school you will enter your new home. Good luck on chasing your dreams." That's what he said then he goes back to his seat.

Me and my friends just took a lot of pictures, after the program.

Then we went home.

When we got home, I change my clothes to something more comfortable.

I saw mama at the kitchen reheating the foods that she cooks earlier, she woke up 2 A.M preparing all this food.

We have adobo, giniling, pork steak, chap suey and fried fish.

After mama reheats all of the food, we ate.

While eating, I saw how happy they were. Gosh I will miss this, their voices, laughs and even my siblings cry I will miss it.

I don't know what awaits me in Japan.

Time really few fast. Tomorrow mom and dad will fetch me. They want to throw a goodbye party for me but they said they can't stay here for too long for some reasons.

It's early in the morning and mama told me that I should take a bath, I don't know what is up with her. She also told me to dress nicely.

After taking a bath I wore a jeans and crop top with a blazer on top and of course a shoes.

"Is this, okay ma?" I ask mama as I step out from our bedroom.

"You look very beautiful, Sab." I guess that's her answer.

I waited for my mama, papa and siblings to get ready.

"Where are we going by the way?" I ask mama.

"You'll know when we get there."

What kind of answer is that.

I was surprised because we are in front of a fancy store? Restaurant? I don't know how to describe it, but it looks fancy.

I was shocked to see who was waiting for me inside. It's mom and that.

I immediately run towards then and hugs them.

"I though you will come back here tomorrow?" I ask them.

"We got too exited to see you that's why we come back earlier than you expected" Dad answer.

"I miss you so both"

"We miss you too, darling" they said.

Mom stands up. "We prepared a goodbye party for you, you can party until 3 P.M. Our flight is 5 P.M."

"Okay mom, thank you".

Then I enjoys my last moments together with my family.

I want to cry.

I want to stay here for another day.

I check the time, it's almost 3 P.M.

After a few minutes we went home to ready my things and I took a bath again.

Mama is helping me on checking my things, mom told me that I should just get the important ones I don't need to pack my clothes because she will buy me a new one when we get there.

"Sab, I want to say this to you. I won't be there to look for you, so please behave, do as what your mom and dad told you to do. Live with a new life. It's very hard to say good bye to you, you're our first born, you taught us how to be a good parent. We were sorry for our shortcomings, sorry because me and your papa always fight. And lastly, thank you for being a good daughter to us, thank you for being a good sister to your sibling, an thank you for sacrificing yourself. I just remembered what you said to me, you said that you have a feeling that someone is going to help us, and that someone is your mom and dad. Your papa and I aren't fighting anymore, and I think it's because your dad makes her the manager of the hardware. I will miss you, Sabrianna."

I hug mama so tight.

"Thank you also for being a good parent to us. I love you ma and I will miss you. I promise I will visit you."

Then my tears started falling.

Until at the airport I'm just crying.

Mom has been asking me if I don't want to go to Japan. But I always answer that This is nothing, of course I will be very sad because for the first time I'm gonna be away from my family, but it's okay because I have a new family.

I want to stop crying but my eyes won't stop.

I look like dumb here, crying while laughing. I'm laughing because my tears won't stop falling.
