Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21 - Surprise, Surprise
At this point, Diya need to pull up her big girl panties, heck even if they are granny panties and get prepared for the war. If she loves Brandon as much as she thinks then she cannot roll over and play dead like she's done so much before. You can love and respect your parents and family but you cannot live FOR them. If your family loves and respects you then they will abide by your decisions. I remember some quote or statement that mentions love doesn't come with conditions, restrictions etc and that should be true of a parents love for their children. I am waiting to hear her woman up but I haven't forgotten about Maria Thoteria and Bryan's need to set parameters with her behind also.
Author's Response: I agree: You can't live for your family. But in Diya's case, you can't discount their ability to make life and carrying on a healthy relationship very difficult. The De la Roys don't just criticize and ostracize. They plot and sabotage. That's her concern. She can make whatever declarations and set whatever boundaries she likes, but she can't make them do or not do anything, as you will soon find out. Marisol is another matter all together.
