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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX4Y3Eian8
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK05VHTPEl
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJB2LjYBru
"Anyway, I have cooked something. Would you like to try it?" she asked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J3R0gVKpK
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9k9ARN5j3
"Where is that smell coming from?" I asked him as his finger pointed to the kitchen.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJLBbX1SQ9
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyHfaOIcfy
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dqy3l4KpY
"I am doing this for your own good," I remembered her saying.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgRByxmkze
'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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVX7nvTWx5
"Are you okay?" she asks, and I snap out of my reverie.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyj4LXrwrw
I tilt my head. "Yeah. I just feel exhausted, I guess."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRswb4A1bmi
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaa6pZHHsd
"Can I ask you a question?" I interrupt her.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRQM082vc7
She turns her head to look at me. "Sure."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfrYA43bE9
She gives me a smile before returning to her work. I gather all the thoughts I can grasp. So I can ask her seriously.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO1r4HPESl
I tighten my lower lip. "Um... is love more important than your career?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgtohIppqy
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtcldTab6F
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeYpd1GcWF
"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.
