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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7CuQX7Q6S
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmi3U7YHsf
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0owWVbdgXS
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsQZiVlKPE
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlzuSJjvnm
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki1lv8fl2z
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG79pLpholl
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuJRPGYH2y
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13SH95vLer
'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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA23Pje09e
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDAZhyvnt3
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWxKOfrfPO
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpOfleBfyH
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDgkYselCS
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv0Nf5yhGu
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0GnrF9RXv
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5zZkAaGCO
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmovpo946AC
"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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpysA14bNf
"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.
