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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKuyTNwjmQ
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL84LJxa1w2
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpssWX3UUfb
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4pDHhXtjZ
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeT3OWXbPW
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTQXnqUF42
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ8S09dKpX
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OE9Xugx4O
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5UnsHCtIP
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxklMMWZLl
'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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc63oKlWd8
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFKFrZXaAg
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37uxfsuj4O
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyBmolt7JZ
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIXnT22e6m
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcjpFFih9A
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFLtOxAkfw
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh66Nlqvw3T
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg3DINCM2A
"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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZmjdN81pg
"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.
