DO IT WITH LOVE
Laela looked at Calista not believing what she heard.
"What do you mean?"
"I know what happened between you and my brother."
"I-I..."
"Papa and Mami would agree if Dom sis proposed to you, La."
"I'm just a housemaid's son, Non. All this time I was able to go to school in the village because my mother worked for Mami Non Calista. How could I be so presumptuous to love Mas Dom."
"Indeed you can choose who you can fall in love with?"
"I feel unworthy of Mas Dom, Non. It never crossed my mind to be presumptuous into Non's family. I'm sorry, Non."
Calista took a deep breath, he looked at Laela.
"La, you know how Papi and Mami are. There's no way they'll stop your relationship."
"I'm embarrassed, Non."
"Forget about all that, now just answer my question properly. Do you love my brother?"
"That, I-I..."
Calista just smiled when she saw Laela's red face. Slowly he took a sip of his mango juice. Then the girl got up.
