Shu is gone.
My mom woke me up at 5 in the morning today. We went to the airport. My mom kept crying although she said she wouldn’t cry coz she wants to give my brother a positive energy.
We went to Coffee Bean so that Shu could eat something. We talked there. Then its time for him to go. I kept myself from crying.
Shu seemed happy and comfortable while lining up. Then, after the guards checked his passport, Mom hugged him again and cried. And surprisingly, Shu cried too. Then we watched as he walked and walked until we couldn’t see him anymore.
When we went outside, we sat down on the benches while Mom cried more. Dad was quiet for the past hour. I hugged Mom and started to cry too.
Me and my brother aren’t freakishly close until we told each other everything. But we were close enough for me to miss him. The past few days he has been organizing his iPod and hanging out in our study room. And I know its because he wants to spend more time with us.
He’s on the plane to England right this moment. I can just imagine him on the plane, listening to his iPod or watching videos or playing games or watching a movie on the plane. Then he’ll walk with the rest of the people who goes to the same college and he’ll take a taxi to the guest house. He’ll talk to his new friends and get to know them.
I hope he’s okay right now. I hope he’ll adapt quickly and make many new friends. I hope he will enjoy and like it there.
He’ll be coming back for Summer holidays, so until then, goodbye.
