I was standing in front of the door contemplating whether I should ring the doorbell or not. Let's get over it; I am going to die anyway. It's now or never, I rang the doorbell a few minutes later and it opened as a woman with a spatula in her hand. Not so early I nervously glanced at her as she was looking blankly at me, suddenly I was pulled in her embrace.

"Took you so long just to visit Sweetie". Mom said, stroking my cheeks lovingly.

"Sorry Mama, I was busy with college stuff". I said with a guilty face.

"If you think I am not mad, let me tell you Young lady you are wrong, come inside first then I will see what I will do with you". Mom said in a stern voice. That's it she called me young lady I am screwed.

"Mama~ I am sorry how can I make it up for you, ah wait I bought your favourite pancakes with me". I said with a puppy face hoping it would work.

"It won't work". Mom looked at me with an uninterested face.

"Do you realise how worried we were about you, you didn't called or visited last week I had to ask Yoongi about how you are doing." Mom said with a worried tone I couldn't hep but look at her in guilt. I was busy with college stuff preparing assignments,tests and then again culture committee work,but still that doesn't excuse it. I should have atleast called or messaged her telling her I am fine.

They already suffered a lot because of me.

"I am sorry I will not repeat it next time, I love you Mama forgive me". I said, hugging her tightly.

"Fine you are forgiven if you keep your promise". Mom said I just vigorously nod my head.

"Where is dad?" I asked my mom to look for him.

"Isn't my favourite daughter here". Dad entered the kitchen as he playfully opened his arms.

"Dad I am your only daughter, you don't have another daughter." I hugged him, giggling at his playfulness.

"You spoil her too much". Mom said, rolling her eyes.

"Of course I would like her to be my daughter or would you rather want me to spoil you." Dad said to mom, wiggling his eyebrow. I was just laughing seeing Mom throwing fruits at him being flustered.

"What are you laughing at resting till I finish preparing lunch". Mom said, shooing me out of the kitchen.

"Wait Mama I want to help and I am that tired let me help you". I said.

"Nonsense you go and rest or do whatever you want. Why is your dad for then he will help me". Mom said catching dad by his shirt when he tried to run away.

"But I want to spend time with you". I said pouting.

"We will of course that's why you are here, I know you are working hard right now so rest for sometime Sweetie". I just sighed as I know I am not going to win against Mom.

"All the best Dad~you gotta work". I said smiling at him as I know he wants nothing more then escape from helping mom.

I entered my room seeing everything is the same as I left them,I sat on my bed thinking what should I do,I would die out of boredom like these. I opened my phone and checked my messages. The last person I messaged was JK. I thought of messaging him to kill some time.

Me: Hey JK

Ripper: Wow this is first time, wait let me take a screenshot so I can treasure this day, what a great day you messaged me first.

Me: what's so surprising about it🙄stop being dramatic.

Ripper: You don't understand Ma rose this is first time YOU messaged me. Let a boy live

Me: What the!So I think I shouldn't have messaged you and what do you mean MA Rose who is she?

Ripper: No No you did great and you call me Jack so I thought I should call you Rose. Jack and Rose Titanic type feels.

Me: Do you know in Spanish Ma Rose sounds like My rice and Jack dies in Titanic so you're gonna end up dying in our relationship.

Ripper: Way to ruin the mood, can't you once go with a flow. And hold up RELATIONSHIP!

Me: Shut up I didn't mean like argh you so annoying and today you are extra annoying are you high why are you being so cheesy it's not so you?

Ripper: How do you know how I am ,I can be romantic if I want girls to die to be with me.

Me: So why don't you go and talk to those girls who give you your desired attention then.

Ripper: But I want your attention, and you are here aren't you.

Me: here you are back being arrogant sometimes you remind me of someone I know.

Ripper: Who?

Me: Someone I think you know is quite known heartthrob Jeon Jungkook.

Me: Jk?

What this little shit left me on seen and isn't replying to my messages.

Ripper: Sorry my mom called me , what you were saying yeah Jeon Jungkook yeah I know he is always with you.

Me: Oh it's okay. He isn't always with me, why are you jealous then show up and stop being a wimp.

Ripper: I am not a wimp, but it's the truth you both are always together and why should I be jealous?

Me: Yeah right and he isn't,don't you see him sucking faces every chance he gets.

Ripper: Why are you jealous he is getting some and you don't? Or do you just want all his attention?

Me: Why even we are discussing about me and no I am not JEALOUS why would I be!

Ripper: Yeah right what are you doing ?

Me: I came to visit my parents, Mama is cooking with dad.

Ripper: So go and help what are you doing here chatting shouldn't you spend time with them.

Me: That's what I told them but they insisted, I guess after lunch we are going to have family time.

Ripper: Enjoy and miss me😉.

Me: In your dreams I am going ttyl.

I walked downstairs seeing mom setting the table up.

"Hm smells good". I said impatiently as I was getting hungry by the aroma of this delicious food.

"So how do you feel staying alone? Are you adjusting well?". Mom asked me.

"Hm sometimes I feel lonely, but due to assignments and Uni work I rarely get time and I am adjusting well". I answered

"How is Leah? it's been a long time since we met her." Mom asked

"She is good next time I will bring her with me. She would love it." I said excitedly.

"What about your boyfriend found someone". Mom asked expectantly causing dad to roll his eyes but still he had his eyes on me looking interested about my answer.

"No I don't and I am not planning to have one for now". I said as mom looked at me like she is ready to give me a pep talk and I am sure she will ask for dad. I heard him sighing in relief. I would have almost laughed at his reaction if not Mama wouldn't glared at me and dad.

"But wait Mia do you like girls? You know I mean, are you understanding if you don't worry we will support you no need to be ashamed we love and respect your decision". Mom said with a sincere and gentle voice causing me to choke on air.

"Mama! What are you-what no I don't like girls I just don't want to be in a relationship". I said as the relationship came in a small voice.

"Sorry didn't mean to offend you but you can't blame you for never showing interest in boys or stuff like that". Mom said sheepishly.

"Ok ok enough of the talk let's have the desert, and you know what we have Mia". Dad said, wiggling his eyebrows playfully.

"Chocolate Muffins!" We all said in unison as we burst in a laugh.

"Thank you Mama and dad I had a great time, I will try to visit you often". I said before hugging them.

"No need Sweetie make sure to call us when you need something". Dad said as she gently caressed my hair.

"Also remember to bring your boyfriend next time". Mom winked at me as I rolled my eyes at her.

"I don't have a boyfriend Mama". I said in a monotone.

"Exactly get one, I am your mom I know you better dear I know you don't believe in love you want to build your career first but what's the use if you don't have someone you can't share that happiness with. You will not understand why suddenly I am bringing this up, but don't you think you purposely avoided it? You have your reason I know but still". Mom said in a sweet tone.

"What I have you all I have Yoongi, Lee And Aunty Min you all are my loved ones". I retorted.

"Yes we are a family we will always be there for you but achieving and sharing things with the person you love being in their arms can't replace that,you will be lonely that loneliness can be filled by the person you want to give your all, you won't understand that now what I am saying I am not forcing you dear don't worry". Mom said with a gentle smile.

"She is right Mia whatever you choose just know we will always be there for you and we love you". Dad hugged me for the last time.

I turned around waving them a goodbye thinking about what Mama said I tried to brush those thoughts away but somewhere I know she is right.
