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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb4abYCYkg
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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQYODJNNHw
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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S0gdmDSIY
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcn4faM2OF
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjlzIa9Ux4
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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVm6IAzR8T
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepwatshOnc
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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLg7jq6Kdj
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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7538jUPxu
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5UxDRqwnL
'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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqeHq23dnM
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUrgonjmrX
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCKzMaOWa6
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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDEb05MDWf
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZBXRR1cHi
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDViie6jMq
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUEl0gFWXy
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT2vtHrgfr
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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtZ86NuTN2
"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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5p2hCxJp6
"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.
