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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7UhhCv5Zb
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oVhQnISMx
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNMCcALsVj
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjduUujjsPE
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EPNQp3AWj
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhk8Jtwjls
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgccOJG8Ecv
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZL7ZDAhzJ
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza4TTMbGif
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AVXbBQov0
'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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5kYmvOKR1
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWgJHM3MT6
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadc6V74KXu
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV9Ph0XcYu
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijrMcb28WB
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cTJTjVo2I
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQTuhNZB9E
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjizahMutgM
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZEMYvd2GC
"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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWYJZMaqu1
"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.
