The Day I Left My Girlfriend

That day when I leave my girlfriend and my family was the day I felt really sad, which I had never been sadder than that. It was Friday morning. I looked around my home and I felt that there was something different than other days when I was in Indonesia. After I took a shower, I ate my breakfast. Then, I went to pick up my girlfriend because she wanted to accompany me to go to the airport. On the way to the airport we did not talk much as usual. When I arrived at the airport, I saw many people who were also going to leave their companies. Some of them looked so sad and even cried, which made me even sadder. Then, I went to the counter to check my luggage in. While I was waiting, I was thinking why this should happen to me. From inside my heart, I did not want to do this, but I will think about my future. After I was done with immigration things, I had fifteen minutes left before boarding to say goodbye to my parents, sister and my girlfriend. I did not have much time to talk to her; I just said to her, “You have to study hard, and don’t try to look for another boyfriend here, ok? I love you.” Just after I said that, she gave me a letter and she said that I should read on the airplane. Both of us felt terrible at that moment. I did not know why, I had this feeling because when I went to the US for the first time, I was not that sad. Fifteen minutes going so quickly, and I had to go right away. I hugged my parents first, my sister and my girlfriend. When I walked away, I heard my girlfriend cry. However, I did not want to look back since I thought I would cry also. I kept going and tried to think about something funny to forget my sadness until I realized that I had sat on the airplane. I remembered she gave me a piece of letter, and I opened it. I could not tell you what was in it, but the tears were falling down from my eyes after I read it. From that moment on, I promised to myself to study hard...
