"So, you finally will go, huh?"

Her voice is calm. But there is a hint of sadness.

"Yes. Thanks, for all this time You spend of rising me."

"Really? are you trying to make me cry? Because I will literally cry you know?"

"Thanks, mother. I will take my leave."

"Ray, even though we are not related by blood we will always be a family."

"Thanks."

"And don't forget to send us a message. I will tell about your story to your brothers and sisters here. So keep is in touch okay?"

"I will."

"Don't forget us. Okay?"

"I won't, Goodbye. And thanks for everything."

And with that, I take my leave from the home which I grew up.

That orphanage was the only place in my life which I can consider as home.

Without the parents of my own. 

The people there are the only family that I have.

I will never be able to pay for their kindness.

But, I swear I will.
