NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

BEAUTIFUL RECONCILIATION BETWEEN FATHER AND SON

Alvero's hand immediately tightened his grip on Deanda's hand as soon as he heard how that night Deanda could survive the intense fire that occurred, because that night Deanda was not in that place. Thus, he could have Deanda as his current wife.

Imagine how if only then Deanda could have been a victim of the fire that night made Alvero's chest shake violently. A worry and fear of losing Deanda suddenly ambushed him, even though it was only a shadow in his mind. However, Deanda's hand that was in his grasp made Alvero breathe a sigh of relief, that until this moment, Deanda was still beside him, as his wife.

I need to take better care of you. And you should love and love you more. I can't imagine what would have happened to me if I hadn't met you. My beautiful angel who has taken me out of the darkness of my life for decades. The best gift from God to me that I must do well.

Alvero said inwardly as she glanced towards Deanda's beautiful face, feeling so grateful for the existence of the woman by her side. If Alvero did not remember that Vincent was in front of him, it felt like Alvero was eager to grab Deanda's body closer to him, so that he could begin to shower his wife with his kisses to show her how happy and grateful he could get that beautiful and kind woman as his wife.

"Tiana used to always take Deanda with her to accompany Larena. Aside from being no one to keep Deanda at home, Tiana does that as well, as Deanda's existence becomes a solace to Larena. You certainly do not remember all those memories Deanda, because at that time you were not even 1 year old. Ever since your birth, Larena has been so fond of carrying you when Tiana brought you to the palace. At that time, my relationship with Larena was still fine. But ever since Larena left the palace, she often kept asking Tiana to visit you. And actually, a few times when you were a baby, in Tiana's arms, Alvero met you. But you two probably don't remember each other because they were too small, let alone Deanda being a baby back then." Vincent said his words while staring into the pretty face of his son-in-law, who could only fall silent.

Alvero smiled a small smile as soon as he heard about his childhood with Deanda, whom he did not remember.

“If Larena had not left the palace, surely you and Alvero would have been best friends. But now I have no regrets about that. Now you are Alvero's wife, who will always accompany and accompany Alvero. You've been Alvero's best friend for the rest of his life.” A happy smile appeared on Vincent's lips after he ended his words.

Vincent and Alvero talk about the whereabouts of his parents, making Deanda's day like a closed room that holds so many memorable items that are left tightly closed to dust for years. And today, the room was opened wide, and it was being torn apart by the things that were inside. Memories he could never remember because he was too small back then.

"Until this moment, every sweet memory between me and Larena, my wonderful friendship with Alexis, is a memory I will never forget. My love for Larena, forced me to persevere and made me determined to make you the next great Gracetian king. From childhood, I educated you so hard, that you could become a strong man, not my brother. In addition, with the envy that Eliana always has, if I show too close to you, she will be even more crazy. I want to protect you until you become a powerful Gracetian king, so that you can protect yourself." Alvero frowned at Vincent's words, staring intensely at his eldest son, Alvero.

Hearing what his father said, Alvero slightly swallowed his saliva. Right now there was something that felt so stuck in his chest, making his chest feel a little tight and his eyes felt hot. Alvero quickly turned his face to the side, so that neither Deanda nor Vincent could see the change of emotions in him, which made him almost unable to hold back his tears from breaking into his defense.

All this time, Alvero always thought that the existence of Eliana had made his father forget his love for Larena, so let Larena go just like that. And from his father's attitude for years that arguably seemed indifferent to him, Alvero always thought that his father loved and loved Dion more than he did, because his father loved Eliana more than Larena.

In the dozen years that have passed, which Alvero knows, Vincent has always demanded more of himself about everything, when compared to Dion. Until this second even Alvero thought Vincent was doing that because Vincent loved Dion more, compared to him. Alvero had thought that just because he was the eldest son so accidentally the title of crown prince fell on him. Before Alvero heard Vincent's words today, Alvero always thought if there was a chance, Vincent would probably have preferred Dion as his crown son had he not been born earlier than Dion.

"I'm sorry, son. I'm sorry.it's only now that I can freely say what I've felt all along." Vincent said as his hands moved wiping away the tears that began to appear in the corners of his eyes.

Unknowingly Deanda closed her eyes slightly lowered her head, so as not to get dissolved in the sad atmosphere that suddenly felt so dense in this room. For some time the three of them were silent, struggling in their respective minds as well as their respective feelings, which were mixed up at this moment.

"That's all gone Pa. Don't blame yourself for it. Maybe that was the best thing you could do in the past. For now, Papa should stay healthy and happy. Stay with me and Deanda for a long time. See until we give Papa great grandkids. Papa can pay for everything, the time and the love that Papa can't give me, give it all to our children." Finally Alvero restarted the conversation after he managed to master the emotions within him.
