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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFgWcB4Pbm
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAJVvrIDLN
"I have missed you. Why have not you come to see us? It's been years, I guess." She pushed her bottom lip forward.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIneZypZDf
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oUDl0bu3N
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeVQbSFXIN
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBenfBRBz2v
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9NQPnqvf4
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXft8a4hgnN
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvoPBe0Agy
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HrPOCp2xg
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu7732y2Vi
'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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eDGFJtWRS
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnrkSuhwZJ
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQwQBzfjEh
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryKeefFmOb
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe8UnIWKgC
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ8jCSn9Wd
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUfBy8ImM4
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbw6dv1fCd
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboDgZhVBCH
"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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNARtncnpL
"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.
