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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10cxrSgHoE
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FGFgpaTmF
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CKnllySQh
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSfEvlLN46
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnj9L8X7vC
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uytlvQRWh
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSnT1cWfOS
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIUTmIC71j
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLFOd8VsiP
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDZFr5P4dJ
'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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuv3mDi37r
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8csDVGs5I
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXemetGbEUh
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxRBB5FdT1
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpmtyZ1Z27
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsGTmgDPjC
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o9lNWPDJP
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFca2Df8g5
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1qgYn9Zge
"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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiJiWqTh5N
"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.
