Max and I loved the Disney Channel movie Lilo and Stitch, i couldn't count how many times we have watched it. one night my mother decided to sat beside us and watched the Lilo and Stitch with us. It was pretty loveable night, my mother cooked us some popcorns and i poured us some melon milk. There, there was a line that become so significant to us, to our family

"ohana means family, family means nobody get's left behind"

even my mom loved the line, she usually tell us about it and say

"you guys are my treasure, no one can compare you and can separate us. you will always be my little angels" 

I and my mom were pretty close. very close. since my dad always has business trips and my brother Max always have loved spending his time on video games, it was always I and my mom who talk about a lot of things. I told my mom a lot of favorite things to do. i remember, everyday back then when i was in gradeschool and highschool, the moment i step into our house, the moment i got back home, i definitely would tell my mother all the things that had happend in the school, including the bad times. well, except the bullying part, i didn't told my mom about it because i don't want her to worry about me.

She was like my bestfriend, a let out machine for me, i was open to her. when it comes to boys, i always tell her about it, who are my crush, i even remembered calling her on the phone the night Daniel broke my heart, my mom was pretty depressed, well, she already warned me about him and i appreciated her not telling me "i told you so" but days after that, she said to me those words but i just smiled. and we both would laugh.

My family are one of my treasured golds, i got my strenght in them. i keep my heads up high for them. Max and I even have our little fights, sometimes just about small things but in the end, we always find each other hugging tight. Since it's the only two of us, we are overprotective to one another. When he doesn't like my crush, he tells me and would tell me

"i kind of feeling something bad about his aura" he said

"yeah, right, i bet you just don't like him. why?"

"because he seems weak, how can he protect you in times when a pervert walks in, even though you are ugly, there are still perverted guys who would go for you"

"okay, that came out bad, what do you mean ugly? your uglier"

then we will have a fight on who's the most ugliest creature of all. My mom would just laugh at us. i was pretty confused why she's not scolding us for fighting then she said

"sometimes, fighting is a proof that you love each other, and he just cares for you that's why, and the way i see it, you care for you brother too, a lot, am i right?" my mom  said with a bright smile on her face

i love my mom, i love max and most especially i love my dad

My dad usually teaches me on how to play guitar, even though he opposed at first of my dream on becoming a guitarist still he would find time in his busy schedule to teach me some. 

"i would just teach you because i feel pity towards the guitar if you won't use it, this doesn't mean that i accept your plead on becoming a guitarist"

"okay"

come on dad, can you come up with a better excuse? even though my dad seem strict on the outside, i know he had his sweet days too. i bet that's the reason why my mom fall for him.

They both love each other,  i know it, they are always happy whenever they are together, no matter how busy my dad is, when he finds time, they spend it lovingly

they were my inspiration that someday i would find my soul mate, someday out there, someone will give me the same tender, sweet and soft kiss that my mom and dad shared. Someone who'd tell me

"you are really one big fatty kid but i still love you though"

or

"why did i ever fall for an ugly girl like you"

it may sound rash and mean but in reality, it's sweet, it's romantic

"how nice it is to be in love" i said while sighing whenever i see my mom and dad kiss or hug or even hold hands. they were just two cute love birds

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A tear fall from eyes, i missed them, i miss my family, where are they? can i just go home? but that longing was then turned into pain, somewhere deep in my heart, in that corner, i feel a sudden pain, a sudden heart ache, i don't know why.
