How my brother leon brought home a wife

 

Narrative by Manuel Arguilla, "How my brother Leon brought home a wife? " focuses on Baldo, the prospective brother-in-law, as he meets Maria, his brother's wife. 

Baldo first noticed Maria when she was introduced by Leon, or as Maria chooses to call him Noel, and thought she was beautiful and fragrant, just like papayas in bloom early in the morning. 

He was attracted to her face's finer features, like her dimples.
