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.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJnrBCjCuJ
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.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZajDXc2xd
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.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MZEgcaZhj
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTKlFQyZBz
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDLSbotjgD
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.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHgIx9RhTW
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oymV10yAn
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.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuILta9335
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.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRMuAdGIY5
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyIu862UZ0
'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.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnixcXFaLd
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i285fH06n
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69JVNErAyQ
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.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWFpDk10aY
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3JNJnFWfn
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgT1qUaClK
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcpNFpbihv
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmcznv4sex
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.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatC7hBwdGR
"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.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7wGrnxoj3
"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.
