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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf6V6U2B5c
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB8X1nP3X3
"I have missed you. Why have not you come to see us? It's been years, I guess." She pushed her bottom lip forward.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGUTtVZT1I
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWF9Iz3tGS
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6dnq0tCWo
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1aUNtgQ1J
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr6ywO89XY
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfHTjxVfvS
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGKVf5i4P3
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgwJXov9Tj
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3jYMmvzWm
'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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzIoNegzzt
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiaUcO69sV
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRHMusUjsC
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBmGxAKs9P
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqY83PU9Ut
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU2ntHFqhf
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOvCBzExka
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPVOwK7wCE
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9aSzyVOFf
"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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdClcM0taDe
"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.
