"Aisillin, get ready! prepare yourself, organize your belongings, we are about to leave." My Mom shouted.

My eyes widened, nakalimutan ko! mabilis akong bumaba, natapilok pa ako pero hindi ko na ininda 'yon.

I'm so excited! we're going to Nueva Ecija! I'll see my grandmother, cousins, and friends again.

Ilang taon ko na silang hindi nakikita, maybe 10 years? 11 ayears? I don't know, basta ang mahalaga sa'kin ngayon, makasama ulit sila!

My Daddy approached me and tousled my hair, "you seem so excited that you've forgotten a lot of things.''

I pouted, "Daddy nga!"

He laughed, tinulungan n'ya nalang ako sa pag-aayos kaya mabilis lang kami natapos.

Isang oras pa daw bago kami umalis. Scam naman 'to si Mommy 'e!

Mabilis akong ma-boring kaya  pumunta ako sa kuwarto nila Mommy. Handa na 'kong buksan yung pinto at mag-rereklamo na sana ako nang marinig ko silang nag-uusap.

"Are we really sure about our flight? our Aisillin might be sad." I heard my dad say, his arms wrapped around my mom.

My mom turned to face him, "That's why we're leaving her with Nanay. It's hard but we need to make sacrifices. I love our Aisillin so much, that's why I don't want us to be unable to provide for her. We're leaving her there so at least she's not feeling jailed."

My eyes sparkled as I opened the door, my parents looked at me with shock and regret.

They were surprised when I embraced them both. I smiled at them, my full white teeth were showing.

I'll live with my grandparents.

There's a percentage of pain in my heart because they're leaving me, but happiness predominates.

Nueva Ejica, get ready, because the Captain is here.
