-recap-

Kim: This is for the best. I’m gonna start a new life in California. I’m gonna leave the Philippines and the problems I have here. I’m going to forget everything. Kaya mo ito Kim! Tomorrow, is the birth of the new Kim.

She closed her eyes and blocked any thoughts and just thought of the sun setting and the sound of the ocean’s waves.

-end of recap-

The day of Kim’s departure came. And as planned, no one besides her parents and Mamang Pokie knew about her departure. Mamang Pokie and Celine are crying hard because Kim will be leaving in a just 2 hours.

Mamang Pokie: Kim. Alagaan mo sarili mo dun ha. Wala na ako para gumawa ng mga bagay bagay para sayo. Mamimiss kita.

Celine: Anak. Tatawag ka ng madalas ok? You can also use skype para naman Makita ka namin. If you need anything just tell your Mamita I’m sure she would get it for you. Ok?

Kim: Ma, Mamang. Wag nga kayong iyak ng iyak. Nakakahiya, pinagtitinginan na tayo oh.

Celine: Mamimiss ka lang naman kasi naming. Pabayaan mo na kaming umiyak. Ang only baby ko aalis na iiwan na ako.

Kim: Ma! Hindi na po ako baby.

Celine: Hindi! Baby pa rin kita kahit anong mangyari!

Celine hugged Kim.

Frank: Celine, tama na yan. Para kang bata iyak ka ng iyak.

Celine: Look who’s talking. Kala mo hindi ko alam na iyak ka ng iyak kagabi sa CR.

Frank was surprised that Celine knew about that.

Kim: Daddy?! Di nga? Umiyak ka?

Frank: ahh, ehhh… What do you expect? Sino ba namang hindi maiiyak kung aalis na yung princess mo.

Kim hugged Frank tightly.

Kim: Oh Dad. I’m gonna miss you so much! Our bonding and everything. I would miss you so much.

Frank: Princess, always remember that i'm here for you ok? i'm gonna miss you so much. 

Celine: Bakit daddy mo lang?

Mamang Pokie: Paano kami?

Kim hugged Celine and Pokie too.

Kim: Syempre mamimiss ko din kayo ng sobra. Kaya wag na kayong magtampo at itigil na yang drama nay an ok. Ayaw kong umalis na puro kayo umiiyak.

Celine and Mamang Pokie wiped their tears off and smiled for Kim.

Kim: Ma… Before I forget, can you give this to the barkada? Saka ito pong box pakibigay kay…

Celine: Kay Gerald?

Kim nodded.

Celine: ok I’ll do that. Pero anak I need to tell you something.

Kim: Ano po yun ma?

Celine: May kasalanan ako sayo eh. Sorry talaga, nawala lang talaga sa isip ko.

Kim: Ma? Don’t tell me sinabi niyo sa iba ang pag-alis ko? (O_O)

Celine: Hindi naman siya iba. Tumawag kasi yung tita mo. Syempre nagka kwentohan tapos bigla na lang lumabas sa bibig ko na paalis ka. Sorry talaga anak.

Kim: Kaninong tita po? Sa mommy po ba ni Empress?

Celine: Oo eh. Kaya baka alam na din ng buong Barkada mo.

Kim: MA!

Frank: Kim, wag kang sumigaw. Hindi naman sinasadya ng mama mo.

Kim: Sorry po kung sumigaw ako. Baka po kasi maging magulo ang pag-alis ko ngayon na alam na nila.

Mamang Pokie: Ang speaking of NILA. Andito na sila.

Kim: WHAT?! O_O

Kim saw the Barkada running towards her, they are all crying.

BARKADA: KIM!

Kim: Anong ginagawa niyo ditto?

Celine: Anak, iwan muna naming kayo para makapag usap kayo.

Frank: anak maybe this for the best. You really need to say good bye to them they're your closest friends after all. 

Kim: Ok dad. You're right. Tagpuin ko na lang po kayo sa may check in.

Frank: O sige anak. 

And then they left the Barkada and Kim.

Mel: KIM! Bakit?!

Kim: Ano bang ginagawa niyo rito?

Maja: Sira ulo ka din noh! Tinatanong mo pa kung ano ang ginagawa naming ditto eh syempre babatukan ka naming isa-isa!

Mel: Asar ka naman KIM! Akala ko ba walang iwanan?! Tapos bigla ka na lang aalis, di mo pa sasabihin sa amin!

Beauty: Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa amin na aalis ka? Pagkatapos mong mag disappearing act noong Prom bigla ka namang mag didisappear sa Pilipinas! Kim naman eh! hindi ka magician para karerin ang pag disappear!

Kim: Sorry kung hindi ko sinabi sa inyo. Ayaw ko lang na malungkot kayo sa pag-alis ko. Ang gusto kong bauning mga alaala yung masasaya kayo, nagtatawanan. Ayaw kong ang huli kong makita ay mga umiiyak niyong mukha. Masyadong pangit pag ganon.

Kim tried to laugh but it was clear that she is also sad and the Barkada noticed this.

Maja: Maganda kami kahit umiiyak kaya sure akong magandang alaala pa rin ang maiibigay namin sa yo kung sinabihan mo kami! Kimberly wala kang lusot ok!

Empress: Saka sa tinging mo ba hindi kami malulungkot kung bigla na lang naming malalaman na wala ka na? Na nasa California ka na! Mas grabe pa ang iyak namin if ever! baka nga sugudin ka namin doon para matauhan ka!

Kim: Hindi naman sa ganon. Alam niyo namang hindi ako magaling magpaalam diba. Baka kasi hindi ko kayanin pag bigla kayong umiyak katulad ng nangyayari ngayon. Iiyak na din ako dahil sa inyo. Pag umiyak pa naman ako mahirap patigilin. Asar naman kayo eh. Tingnan niyo, umiiyak na tuloy ako.

Mel: Tama yan! umiyak ka rin para fair! kami haggard na ang itsura kakaiyak tapos ikaw pretty pa din! Iyak na! 

They laughed a bit but sadness is still dominating around them.

Maja: Kim naman. Bakit mo kami iiwan? Paano ang graduation? Paano ang college? Akala ko sama sama tayo till the end?

Kim: I have my reasons.

Maja: Anong reason yan ha?! Anong napaka laking rason niyan para iwan mo kami?!

Kim: Hindi ko pwedeng sabihin. Pag ok na sasabihin ko sa inyo swear!

Mel: Hindi ka na ba mapipigilan? Hindi ka ba naaawa sa amin?

Kim: Hindi eh.

And all of them laughed. But the laughing stopped when someone from behind talked.

Erich: Bakit mo to ginagawa Kim?

Kim looked at the person who asked and pain shot through her face.

Kim: Erich… Alam kong alam mo kung bakit ko ito ginagawa.

Erich: Hindi mo naman kailangang gawin to. 

Kim: Kailangan Erich. Para maging masaya na kayo at para hindi na ako masaktan.

Maja: teka lang ha. Anong usapan ito? Hindi namin maintindihan. Erich anong kinalaman mo sa pag-alis ni Kim?

Kim: Maj, stop. We don’t need to talk about this.

Erich: Hindi ito ang gusto kong mangyari Kim. Pwede naman tayong maging masaya kahit nandito ka sa Pilipinas. Hindi mo kailangan umalis.

Kim: Wag ka ng magkunwari Erich. Alam kong masaya kang malaman na aalis na ako. Tama ako diba? Masaya ka na mawawala na ako sa landas mo dahil iyong iyo na siya!

Erich: Hindi totoo yan. Kaibigan kita at ayaw kong mawala ka. Never kong hiniling ang pag-alis mo.

Kim: Oh please! Cut the drama! Don’t be plastic Erich!

Mel: Kim stop it. Why are you being so mean to Erich?

Kim: Don’t ask me. Ask her.

Pointing at Erich.

Erich: You know what, I’m gonna stop acting like I care if you leave. Since you are already making me look like the villain I’m gonna be one! And to tell you the truth, I am happy that you are leaving! So go ahead and leave! I don’t give a damn!

Maja: Hey! Can anyone please tell us what’s happening here?! Why are you two fighting?

Kim: It’s good to hear the truth from you Erich. Your act of caring for me was kinda getting old anyways. I’m happy you became real towards me before i leave. No more acting and pretending. Thanks for that Erich.

Erich: Thanks? for what? for being a ?!

Kim: No. For being a TRUE friend. For telling me what you really feel just like what TRUE friends should do. Thank you.

Erich: Why are you being so kind to me Kim? Why do you care if i told you what i really felt? I was the one who hurt you but you are still like this. Why?

Kim: It’s simple Erich. It’s because you are me friend.

Erich hugged Kim and Kim did the same and the two of them cried hard.

Kim: Please be happy Erich. Be happy for me. And I beg you. Make him happy. Prove to me that I did the right thing ok? Give him the love that I can’t give.

Erich: Oh Kim. I will. I will make him happy.

Empress: GROUP HUG!

The Barkada hugged Kim while all of them are crying. After the group hug, all of them said their goodbyes to Kim. When they left, Kim sat down on a chair waiting for her flight to be called.

Finally, her flight number was mentioned so she went to her plane when someone took hold of her arm. Her body shivered from the touch.
