It took us half an hour to get to the place. He helps me climb out of his cool motorcycle, lifts my luggage and hands it to me. I almost wince with relief when I see Aunt Felsie walking towards us with her genuine smile.

"Liana." She hugs me and I hug her back.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRRxpUMkwp
It takes more than a few seconds for her to realize she's hugging me. I fake a laugh to make her smile and I did.

"I have missed you. Why have not you come to see us? It's been years, I guess." She pushed her bottom lip forward.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd3KXFcJ7y
She's right, I am just not in the mood. I already have plans to visit, but I have scrapped them. I can not stand my plans.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzouVuB8gk
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzBjUKgJgs
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoJXAZXVyc
Me and Jadster walked inside while his hand wrapped around my waist. I missed him. As I remembered, I was here when I was in college. But now that I graduated, I had even forgotten to visit. I am so lame. As I step through the door, I smell an enticing scent. The scent tempts me to rush to where it came from.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z0U1BkKsX
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6OhfOHxz1
My feet take me there. When I entered the kitchen, I saw her cooking. Damn. It's so damn good. No wonder why Tito Jared loves her. She was so sweet and calm.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavV0pjc7w4
I did not even see her get mad at me or hit me for my transgressions when I was with them back then. That's why I like her better than my mom.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmsGYZrMEP
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8YQnNE3IR
'For my good? I think she meant for her good, not mine. It's so weird to hear my mom say something like that, and honestly, it almost makes me laugh. Oh! I forgot I was really laughing.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT0UpFVuFJ
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvtCk4rBv4
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRHFxEqmix
I manage to find the humor, though my mind keeps searching for my mother's condition. She beams and returns what she's doing right now. I place my hands on my cheeks and prop both elbows on the kitchen island.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAqbRGBo9t
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4kAPXlmZ1
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmUODyVn2B
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDwskCFOEu
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkmCBwzIjV
I do not know why I am even asking this, knowing that my mother and I were the exact people who did not get along. She was insane and difficult. With her husband, they are both a disaster.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk12wJ615Hg
"For me, love is more important than career. But it can also be the opposite. We have our reasons why we choose love over career or the opposite. If that's important for the future, then I can not blame that person." She gasped after saying those words.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsJe7kHhhM
"Sorry, I am choking on my own words..." she laughed.

I half smile and jerk my head towards the wall. Yeah, she's right. We have our reasons for choosing her. But does it matter? I need love, love from my mother, and not for this fucking future.
