"I thought they left na.." I thought.
Not long after, they all go outside their room. Nagpapaalam na sila, its currently 3:30 am and their flight is schedule in 4:00 am. Malapit lang naman yung airport dito and for sure makakarating sila agad kasi hindi pa naman ma-traffic.
"Mom, Tita, Belle we'll go na.." kuya Matthew said as he kissed our foreheads.
"Mauna na ho kami, Ms. Irene, Senator. Salamat po ulit!" Sister Anabelle utters, gratefully.
"Maraming Salamat po sa pag iimbita sa amin, mauna na po kami.." Sister Theressa bids goodbye.
"Thank you also for coming, take care!" tita Irene said as she hugs them.
"Maraming Salamat din sainyo, Ingat kayo sa biyahe!" Tita Imee said, she also hug them, when they finished talking, I proceed to hug them both. I'm not really good at goodbyes, naiiyak na ako.
"Mag-iingat po kayo." I told them as I hug them tighter.
"Sus, iiyak kananaman." Sister Anabelle whispers as she rubs my back.
"Wag ka namang iiyak Belle, mag iiyakan tayo dito!" Sister Theressa exclaim, sarcastically.
"I'll miss you.." I whispered.
"Mamimiss kadin namin kaya bilisan mo na yung pag-aaral mo para makabalik kana sa Ilocos." Sister Anabelle jokingly replied.
"Mag-iingat ka dito at pagbutihin mo yung pag-aaral mo. Huwag munang mag bo-boyfriend ha!" Sister Theressa verbalized, I nodded at them. I also hugged Josh, Hannah and Alliah, when we already bid oud goodbyes, they already left.
Tita Irene rubbed my back because my tears are cascading.
"Breath-in, Breath-out. You need to get ready for school na. Take a bath na then after you take a bath. We'll have our breakfast downstairs, okay?" Tita Irene said, I nodded and proceed to take a bath, I'll just wear the cloth I wear last night on our way here. Then I'll just change pagdating ko sa bahay. After I took a bath, I already changed. When I go out, they're already waiting for me.
I grabbed my tote bag and then we head downstairs to eat breakfast. After we eat breakfast, inihatid nila ako sa condo.
"Thank you po, mauna na ako." I bid goodbye, tita Irene and tita Imee hug and kissed my cheeks.
"Take care ha, I love you! I'll see you soon again." Tita Irene whispers while hugging me tightly.
"Take care din po, lovelots!" I replied.
"Ingat, hija!" Tita Imee said.
"Ingat din po kayo." I exclaimed as I get out of the car.
"Bye kuya Borgs!" I shouted.
"Bye, Isabelle Madrigal!" Kuya Borgy jokingly said, I rolled my eyes to him and gaze at tita Irene and tita Imee. I smiled at them and wave my hand. When they left, I enter my condo and quickly change. After I change I already head to school.

I woke up so early, I think it was 2:30 am same with Manang. Manang is taking a bath because she needs to be early in Malacañang today, hindi na ako nakabalik sa pagtulog kaya I decided to get up, Isabelle is still sleeping so I didn't bother on waking her up. Before I get up, I kissed her forehead and fix her blanket.
After Manang took a bath, I proceeded. I have to attend an assembly today about Art Organization. After I took a bath, Manang is scrolling on her phone. I sat beside her and we just talk arbitrarily.
Our talk got interrupted when someone opened the door of our room and it revealed Isabelle. I abruptly smiled as soon as I saw her, I opened my arms to hug her. She also greeted Manang, she asked us kung umalis na ba daw sila Sister and we told her hindi pa.
I think that's why she woke up, akala niya ata umalis na sila.
We bid goodbyes to the nuns and her friends, Isabelle was emotional. Pagkaalis nila I told her to take a bath. After she took a bath we also get out of the room and proceed downstairs to eat our breakfast.
When we finished eating, we drove Isabelle to her condo as we bid goodbye to her. We also drove Manang to Malacañang then Borgy accompany me on heading to the assembly.

I'm already in Ateneo, habang papunta ako sa classroom namin nakasalubong ko si Ms. Castro.
"Good morning, ma'am!" I greeted her respectfully.
"Good morning too, Celestine! Don't forget the meeting, sa Friday na yun." she informed me.
"A-ah opo." I replied hesitantly, she nodded and I excused myself because my phone vibrated. I opened it and it was tita Imee who texted me.
From: Tita Imee
