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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphOwHsNrdV
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplZKA0fUk8
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjz9lXD9dJ
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFzK45WRmE
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39IgYemNOi
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgnUyHhJvb
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIA8Y2w8Y0
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQrpMjdtRT
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAQFUnEH6O
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlNqX0rGGP
'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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjCLPdZOKk
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD2OVAavnm
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiOH9XNzh0
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbok5VQHpZ
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ihKaY3zWH
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ou3B1WEtz
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlFYWDyRBA
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Cftm80wj
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sanpgue9f
"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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfOwc33e6U
"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.
