Dec. 19
no wonder why my parents were in a hurry to have me leave home.
The night before dad fetched me from rehearsal and ask what time was I leaving home the next day for the show (MMB's Christmas in Our Hearts). he told me to eat lunch out because I might be late for the call time if I eat lunch at home. But the call time is still 2pm... what in the world would get me late if I eat at home???
it was the first general rehearsal for all the shows I've been that my mom didn't come fetch me, only to find out she was busy making some kind of desert when I arrived home(like some visitor was coming the next day). but I never even had a doubt.
morning of the 19th, I was really hoping someone would tell me my sister was going home. I was really hopeful, but not expectant.
dad left home waaay earlier than usual. He said he has somewhere to go. Mom left for the market as well, said she was gonna buy vegetables. but look here, it's not so her to leave the house without a car just to buy things in the market when it's not that important. by that time I was starting to raise an eyebrow. it really feels like someone important was coming. so I figured, if my mom would come back with pig feet(my sister's favorite) from the market, then I'm certain it's my sister who's coming. But then again, there were no pig feet...... so forget it!.... I did see her buy shrimps(which my sister also loves) but I never had my hopes up and thought, "naaaaah she can just pass by them in the market and decide to buy them at impulse just because they look delicious". so it was not at all a contributing factor to the whole mystery. so I dropped the doubts off.
I left home with a certain thing in my mind. She's never coming home today. yet I remained hopeful but I didn't expect anything.
30 mins before the show, mom fetched me from the ballet school after having my make up done, to take me to where the show will be.
and there she is, sitting at the passenger seat, my very own gift this Christmas..... she went home just because I wanted her to see me do well on stage and I'm very glad to know she was there watching. [and yes, there I was screaming inside the car like a crazy.]
I don't know how much of a crazy did my parents do through just to suport her and her surprise event. but surely I was soo happy to know she wanted to support me.
later did I found out that she went through a lot as well on her flight coming here. She had to put on her uniform and sit uncomfortably in the cabbin crew area(since the flight was full) just to get home in time for the show. didn't know if she had to do the same on her flight back... hihihi
I'm not really sure exactly why I was making such a fuss about getting her to watch this particular show...... all I know is that, this might be the last show she might be sharing with me.... since I am ready to retitre (is that the right word?)......... also, after sooooo long, this show is my comeback....... so basically this show is very important to me, and I want her to see me do great after working so incredibly hard.....
after everything my sister went through just because of my childish, maknae wishes; I just can't put enough words to say thank you to her(and my parents) and sorry for making her go through some hardships.........
more than everything, I am very greatful to the Lord God for making this possible. for bringing her safe home and safe back. for giving me the opportunity to dance again. and for all the blessings that has been more than enough for me.
The Lord our God is Mighty. Let it be done to me according to your word. Thank you Dear God!
