| See You Again, My Little Sists... |
| I had a fever. That made me have to cancel our appointment for the farewell party. I was very sorry to them about this. When I told my students about this through sending a message to her handphone, she replied it by saying, 'Do you feel better now?'. I replied it saying that I was not allowed to go out yet. My doctor forbade me to go anywhere this whole week. Then, can you guess what she wrote in the next message? She wrote this, 'If you have felt better tomorrow, it will mean that we won't cancel our farewell party, right? We still can go together, right?' I read that message with a smile appeared in my lips and a crying in my heart. God, it will be very very hard for me to do this...
Once, in our few last meetings, they also said that I had to send them messages through email in Indonesian so one of them could print them and read them in the classroom... I wouldn't have to say what I felt hearing that at that time, would I? I guess you know it by putting yourself in my position at that time... Well, teaching them, or if I can say, being with them is one of my precious moment in my life... It can't be changed by anything else... Knowing that you are being loved has grown up a feeling that won't ever be described by words! |

| My Last Meeting with My Luvly Kids |
On Tuesday, they still kept busy discussing their plan. They even didn't let me come into the class to teach them before I promised them that I would cancel my plan to leave and be there teaching them again. Can you imagine my situation at that time? I was gonna crying, but I could still handle myself. Kids, I'm really gonna miss u all... Oh yeah, I remembered, when I went out from my car, walking to the course location, they ran welcoming me. They put their hands in mu hand and were accompanying me walking into the classroom. 'Something' hit my heart when they did that... =(
That day, I felt that I had a fever. I didn't know why it happened. Perhaps it was because I had to leave them or I had been too tired... I was not sure about it. At the end of the lesson I took their picture. It would help me to cure my sadness of missing them. Actually on last Friday, we had taken a picture together in the classroom. I'll show both of the pictures for you. It's still being processed now, so just wait. You will be able to find out why it is hard for me to 'release them away from my hand....' |

| If Only |
| I had made a plan to tell them on our last meeting that would be on Friday, October 31. However, suddenly the plan was ruined. A week before that Friday, one of my students came to me before the class started. She asked me whether it was right that I was not going to teach them anymore starting from November. I asked her who told that to her. Unfortunately the administrator had called their parents and told them about that. Wow, I was very shocked at that time. I didn't know what to say. Then, one by one, my students arrived and asked the same questions. This situation forced me to change my plan directly. Finally, I told them about it, and they was shouting saying that they didn't permit me to leave them. They said that they would leave the course too if I kept insisting to leave. I tried to explain my situation to them as simple as I could so they would be able to understand, but they could not accept it. Then I decided to make a farewell party with them on the next Saturday. It worked. It helped me to get their attention to be back learning the lesson and after that, 10 minutes before the class ended, we were discussing about the farewell party. They were very excited. They arranged it by themselves and didn't let me to hear what they were discussing... You know, that makes me hurt that I have to leave them. However, I realize that it will be the best way for me and perhaps for them to. Hopefully, it is true... |

| Forgive Me, Girls... |
| Well, too bad my days with my kids have to end soon... I have to leave them because of some personal reasons. It takes me many days thinking of how to say this to them. I love them very much. They are more like my little sisters than my students. They have their own characteristics that make each of them become so special in my eyes and especially in my heart. It's very hard for me to say this to them, but I have to... Sorry, kids... I don't mean to leave you but the situation force me to do so. =( |
