Farewell - the aftermath

So she left. I had psyched myself for the moment so there were no tears except for when she asked me to call home if I needed someone to talk to and not to bottle things up. I looked away and blinked my eyes furiously. Other than that, as I walked to the carpark, I didn't feel the awful sadness I had felt previously after bidding farewell to my family members. I do feel a little down somewhat but that was it. It must be because I know I'll be seeing her in 6 months. Upon reaching home, I walked into the girls' room. Then it hit me that my sis had gone home. I don't see her lying on the mattress on the floor. It was tucked into a corner. No more luggages in the room, none of her clothes can be found hanging together with the girls' behind the door, her toiletries had been removed from the top of the chest of drawers and the smell of her cream lingered on. Suddenly, I feel very lonely. As if my pillar of strength is lost. I wonder how will Louisa and Lavigne react tomorrow morning when they wake to see that Tingyi is no longer sleeping in their room. I wonder if I will have the s0-called 'withdrawal effect'. I am not looking forward to tomorrow to find out.

See you in July!
