The issue had been that she had her ticket for returning on September which is unchangeable. Since she needs to go back now she would need to purchase another one and loose the first one. But the ticket prices have been very expensive. The cheapest she obtained was 12,000 Bs which is approximately US$ 1200. Teachers and friends have been helping her with the issue.
But hearing the people of Lufthansa wanting to help has given us much help. They have asked her to bring the death certificate of her father to their offices in Caracas as they might have a window for Tuesday the 31st. But they also mentioned that it might be a reduction in price though they didn't specify how much exactly. So she is going blindly to their offices to hear what they would say.
But this means that she is leaving for good. It is very sad. There was so much we were supposed to do together. Many unattended businesses. It is very sad.
Tomorrow she would head back to Alpha for her last goodbye. She has decided to go and teach and give her conversation club. It would be very emotional for her I can imagine. This will be the last time I will see her in the corridors of Alpha.
Later in the afternoon she would come back and pack her bags. In the evening at around 6:00 pm. we would go to the church for a mass for her deceased father. The other colleagues would be there and so are some of her close friends.
On Sunday we would have a despedida here at home with Yuki, Ronja (other interns) and the family. It would be something intimate and at midnight she would leave for Caracas with Ejecutivo bus together with a dear friend Juan Carlos who has been an angel sent by God.
This is indeed a sad time. I don't know how I would feel after her departure. I am already feeling something in my stomach. I am trying to distract myself as much as possible. But I know it is coming.
