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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbze1sBaLni
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH7fwwK5FW
"I have missed you. Why have not you come to see us? It's been years, I guess." She pushed her bottom lip forward.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvyQrLoVWh
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PLUKXXiHF
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nIyYsdPjU
I give a half nod. "Yes, I'd love to."
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZmR8OzZIf
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97jgTlVz7R
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4nTOgb1Sv
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7KVgpZw08
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7GEulIMiH
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFeFrbBS6A
'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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHFibOuRFR
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SFKYOZX9f
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzfBJGa42R
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTG9kqD4kC
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneDiWHLMCN
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwFfOwvgiP
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfgtSeAbpn
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqnnmlcYJR
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUTiWEeBKL
"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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU7ZCNM8DN
"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.
