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.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ0pUpQ7q1
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.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5vjR1XP7c
"I have missed you. Why have not you come to see us? It's been years, I guess." She pushed her bottom lip forward.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpJ4vng6aN
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.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeqmej8Z10
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY5AGfaQlj
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i8OEeMWm9
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.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8qDmew2Ri
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxswRX6t2c
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.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1SzgU2MgE
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.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJy0gdNVf4
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYQpusnxmW
'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.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepE3VTAF2A
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHElktB35e
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaRXIbvO2c
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.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuYnZGY0DV
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQeDumjLd2
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SqB0BnLc5
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphpUtOu9na
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWLzCRB6hf
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.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF6bOfhBkL
"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.
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEuqlvSzqI
"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.
