I have been counting the days…
By Karthik | January 30, 2008
Departures have been a common occurrence in the past 5 years for me. At certain point in life, it is an experience almost everyone go through. It’s either your loved ones leaving home for work or studies, or it’s your close friends. Either way, that’s just part of life.
But it isn’t easy. No matter how many times we go through the very same situation, we still feel totally depressed when it comes to that moment. The duration of walk to the counter at the KLIA Airport, could break almost anyone into tears. Even the drive to KLIA could be one that is very depressing. But the worst of it all is yet to come. And that is to leave the airport, knowing you won’t be seeing that person for some time now. But, you tell yourself, life has to move on. And secretly, in your heart, you wish the person all the best and pray that everything is well, and a save journey to wherever.
I have been counting the days till you leave. I do not know how it is going to be, I really don’t know. Maybe it’s because I have never been separated from you for the past 3 years. 3 years could be insignificant to others who do not know the intense emotions that we share. Every day passed, is another day closer to your departure. As much as I am excited for your adventures, I am worried for your loneliness in that strange land. My mind speaks of rationale. It forces the words of wisdom, and I tell you it’s one of the best decisions you’ve made. The experiences and wisdom that you are about to gain, are of great value. Nothing comes in equal to that, no matter how much we preach equality in all matters.
Soon, you will be leaving this country. And I am speaking as if you are migrating. Maybe, it’s just feelings that are extremely complicated? I really wish I knew how it all works…Feelings.
And I sit here, in light, with much excitement, for the experiences that you will soon gain. For the joy that overwhelms you, as it is one of your dreams. And it is about to come true…and who could be more happier for you?
