Yesterday, my cousins' maid, Marilou, left to go back to Philippines. I got to know about it last Friday or so that she will be going back yesterday.

That day, while at my house waiting for my aunt to fetch my cousins from abacus class, she told the youngest cousin, Wilson, that she is going back. She never said go back where. But can see that she can't bear to leave Wilson. Wilson had been calling her, '妈妈'. And most of the time, she is looking after Wilson. So there is some attachment.

We had been calling each other, 'sisters' especially she helped to looked after and clean up the house during the period when I was having intensive training for the Sunflower Concert last year which was the period when my parents went to do business.

Due to her husband keep asking her to go back, therefore this time she made up her mind to go back. But as it was a short notice, I did not managed to get her anything.

She told me on Saturday evening when we were at my grandma's house that she is going back. She do not know when she will leave yet as she is still waiting for her documents. So I thought that my mum said she will be going back tomorrow is not a confirmation date.

When she told me, her eyes were sort of red. And she also keep telling my cousin, Nelson to be good and not be naughty, etc. As I could not do anything for her, I just give her a hug.

During Sunday and weekdays, I do not get to see her. So I just copied a CD-R with her photos and placed in her drawer in my room. So if she happened to come to my house or so, she could see and take the CD-R.

Yesterday, when I reach home, after having dinner with my dad, I saw a note on my computer desk. It was from Marilou.

It reads:

Sister,
I'll go back already. My flight
is 5pm. Thanks for all your kindness.
I'll never forget you.
Miz you!
Marilou


I felt so sad after reading that note but now, the only thing I can do is to pray for her happiness...
