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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDajPsrPSQ8
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTUapyQ1EQ
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSTrkRoxUZ
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8H3SYT6Ow
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."

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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NpVD8ZPfb
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfORvMYy7e
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRZJZdzDHV
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E59ghfKoG
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcbY0lNzqX
'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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDe6pGggXK
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw6urZ80lB
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ9ZZTbuIH
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw15U5FguI
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnORGbp4QCG
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8WMqBxrd9
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bdDp34gKP
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmCVx8GIxZ
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT0U9dLlCH
"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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4nln13xC0
"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.
