NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

THE PICTURE OF JOSE

Haist, your majesty is there. In fact, I don't know and know who Mr. Jose is. But, not-yet, your highness already looks so jealous. My husband is no longer able to be helped in terms of his blind jealousy.

Deanda said and smiled inwardly. After the marriage, Deanda became increasingly familiar with Alvero's possessiveness and acute jealousy.

During his early marriage to Alvero, even since knowing Alvero, Deanda realizes how possessive and jealous Alvero is. The beautiful empress often thought how could Alvero behave in such a way, which sometimes made her like a spoiled child.

But after a long time, Deanda finally decided to learn to accept Alvero's attitude for her to show the embodiment of her great love.

Moreover, until now Deanda saw that Alvero's possessive and jealous actions were not followed by an extreme action that could endanger the life or safety of others. And again, Deanda already knew very well how she could use to control the emotions of her beloved husband.

“Yang Mulia..” The sound of a soft call from Deanda instantly made Alvero turn to her.

“Not sweety, you can't meet other men if there's no me near you.” Deanda grew increasingly widened to hear the words of Alvero who even said them without looking straight at him.

Intentionally, Deanda just wanted to remind that this afternoon they should immediately attend an afternoon tea event in the palace courtyard. But, it seems Alvero has misunderstood the thought that Deanda intends to reject Alvero's wish for him to meet Jose in the office when Alvero is with him.

“Your Majesty, I just want to remind Your Majesty, it's time to follow after tea. Besides, I was glad that His Majesty was willing to take the time to accompany me to meet Mr. Jose whom I did not know well, so that we both did not feel awkward Finally Deanda responded to Alvero's words with a faint smile.

Deanda's words successfully made Alvero's face flushed a little because she was embarrassed to have misunderstood what Deanda would say to her.

Alvero's reddened face made Madame Rose and Ernest increasingly hard to try to hold back their amused laughter, until in the end Madam Rose chose to bend her body, so she could not help but, saluting Alvero to say goodbye and hurriedly walked away before she could no longer hold back her gelatinous laughter, seeing Alvero's attitude towards Deanda.

“Good day Your Majesty, Empress.” The man who had come with Ernest that afternoon to Alvero's office, bowed his body slightly with his right hand crossed to his chest, saluting Alvero who was sitting at his desk, with Deanda standing beside Alvero's seat while tidying up the pile of files in front of Alvero.

“Good day master Jose.” Alvero answered Jose's greeting and salute while moving his hand.

After that Alvero got up from his seat and walked towards Jose followed by Deanda who immediately followed him once the files were neatly arranged and he put it on one side of his desk, so that later after the meeting with Jose, Deanda could hand over the files to their respective departments.

“Please sit Mr. Jose.” Alvero said as his hand allowed Jose to sit on the sofa in front of him.

“Thanks Your Highness.” Jose answered and sat down on the sofa.

“So, what can I do for Your Majesty and Empress?” With a respectful attitude, Jose immediately asked about what he should do this afternoon.

“There is an object that I hope can be poured in the form of a picture by Mr. Jose. In detail Empress Deanda will tell about the shape of the thing.” Jose nodded his head at Alvero's request.

“Then, you can talk to the empress and start drawing her. Please go to the Queen's desk so that you can do it comfortably.” Hearing Alvero's words, Deanda and Jose immediately got up and walked towards Deanda's desk.

“Please Mr. Jose.” Deanda, who had been sitting in his chair, immediately invited Jose to sit in front of him.

“Good Her Majesty The Empress. Please Empress tell in detail about the object you want to describe.” Jose, who was already sitting, said as he placed a piece of white paper in front of him, with his right hand holding a pencil.

Deanda had just intended to say about Alaya's pendant which was still clearly recorded in his mind when suddenly it was realized Alvero was standing next to his seat while one of his hands held the back of his seat.

Isttts…. This husband of mine, really did not let me be alone with other men even though it remained within the range of his eyes. Look at it later, I'll definitely make you die of lice later.

Deanda said inwardly as she glanced towards Alvero who was standing beside her seat, like a mercenary bodyguard.

“Please start Empress.” Jose greeted Deanda with respect.

“Ah, yes sir Jose. What I'm going to talk about is a pendant. Oval-shaped, roughly sized.” Deanda said while re-imagining the details of the shape of the pendant.

Almost 45 minutes Deanda described the pendant, while Jose directly scratched his pencil on the white paper in front of him every time Deanda told about the physical characteristics of the pendant.

Every time Deanda told him about the shape of the locket, Jose drew it, and showed it to Deanda. If Deanda feels that what Jose portrays is inappropriate, Deanda will go back to telling the details, and Jose will re-describe it.

Thus done by Deanda and Jose repeatedly, until finally the image of Jose in accordance and exactly with what is in the mind Deanda.

“Yes, this is the picture of Mr. Jose. Exactly with the original form.” Deanda said as her eyes could not be separated from the paper on which Jose had finished drawing the pendant.

Upon hearing Deanda's words, Alvero's eyes immediately stared at the picture. Alvero's forehead immediately frowned as soon as he saw the shape of the pendant.

Alvero had only caught a glimpse of the pendant hanging on Alaya's neck without ever observing it carefully, because it did not want to be considered rude, or make Deanda jealous. That caused Alvero to be quite shocked as soon as he saw the original shape of the pendant.

“Thank you for your help, Mr. Jose. Ernest! Send mister Jose back.” immediately As soon as Jose was done with his duties, Alvero immediately ordered Ernest to deliver Jose back.

Alvero deliberately held back his words about the locket, being aware of Jose's whereabouts. So quickly Alvero orders Ernest to escort Jose out of his office, so he can comfortably talk to Deanda about the locket.
