18 year old

I was treating my patient when I was suddenly taken to my 18 year old self. All after he said he's leaving for London, UK this September. I was at the KLIA waiting for my first ever flight to Amman, Jordan. All of my family members, my close friends were there. I still remember what abang told me that day "take your time to salam n peluk everyone. No need to rush just because everyone else is rushing you or you'll regret it at the gate" I think that advise came from his experience when he had to leave for New Zealand years ago. So, I took my time. Both papa mama were crying. My friends were there too to bid me goodbye, they gave me letters, chocolates and even plushies. And even though I took my time to say goodbye to everyone, I still cry at the gate.

I was 18 when I first leave for Jordan for my studies.
