NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

START SPOILED AND CHATTY

“What kind of salad do you want sweety?” Alvero said as he looked towards the large-sized refrigerator array in the kitchen and lined up neatly.

“Whatever the origin, which feels fresh but a little filling. The main fruit. Fruit salad.” Deanda answered Alvero's question with her eyes looking towards Alvero who was still standing beside her.

"Ok, I'll make you a Florida Salad." As soon as the two of them stayed in the kitchen, Alvero invited Deanda to one of the high chairs, like a bar stool, pressing Deanda's shoulders to sit on the chair while waiting for her to make a salad.

After that, Alvero walked towards the refrigerator and opened a special kukas containing various kinds of fresh fruits.

(fruit salad is a combination of several fruits served with yoghurt and mayonnaise toppings, perfected with cheese grater on top. The word salad is thought to come from the Latin “herba salata” means herbaceous means vegetable and salata means salted or salted, so herbal salata is vegetables that are salted. At first salad was defined as a food consisting of fresh vegetables (crispy leaf vegetables). In development, salad is defined as a dish that is a mixture of fresh green vegetables, fruit, meat, poultry and fish served along with dressing (sauce) or only consisting of fresh fruit and juice. Various names of salads known as tomato salad, orange salad and mixed salad, taken from the dressing used. Salads can be served in cold, hot, raw, cooked or the most important combination of the appearance of the salad when served should be fresh and attractive. The classification of salads has an influence on the way of salad dressing, namely: simple salad (made from one or two main types of ingredients, for example: potato salad), compound salad/complete salad (a salad made from three or more main ingredients, such as yolande salad), American salad (similar to compound salad, made only from fruit, an example of Florida salad).

"But My Al. I don't want you mixing tomatoes in that salad." Hearing Deanda Alvero's request just smiled, even though she knew tomatoes were one of the hallmarks of the Florida Salad making ingredients, Alvero put back the tomatoes he had been holding, he said, put it back in the refrigerator.

"Ok, I'm not going to add the tomatoes. I'll replace it with grapes, okay?" Hearing Alvero's question, Deanda immediately nodded her head with eyes glaring brightly at the grapes in Alvero's hands.

Even after Alvero washed the grapes, Deanda's hand quickly grabbed a grape seed, removed it from its stem and chewed it in its mouth, making Alvero smile while shaking his head slightly saw how the behavior was accompanied by the happy face of Deanda who was enjoying a grain of wine just now, it was as if he had only eaten a grape for the first time and was so fond of the fruit.

"My Al, I want to dress it, not too much yoghurt. I don't want too much cheese either, and I want a little lemon juice at the very top. For fruit I want more oranges and apples than any other fruit. No need to use lettuce, I just want fresh fruit pieces, no vegetables." Alvero who was picking up the ingredients from inside the refrigerator immediately approached Deanda upon hearing Deanda's request, which tonight to him sounded a little spoiled and chatty, not as usual.

During his time with Deanda, Alvero knew Deanda was not a difficult person to serve. He will eat whatever is presented to him without much questioning or refusing. But ever since Alvero prepared the ingredients to make the salad, Deanda kept talking about what she wanted without stopping, making Alvero feel amused as well as anxious.

"Ok my queen's. As you wish. As long as you are happy." Alvero said as he gently kissed Deanda's forehead which immediately smiled with a happy face because today Alvero is willing to fulfill all his wishes.

As soon as he finished his act, Alvero quickly removed the apron he was wearing and sat down right in front of Deanda after thrusting a bowl of Florida salad-type fruit salad towards Deanda which he garrisoned beautifully, making Deanda unconsciously swallow his saliva because he saw the wrong look of the fruit of Alvero's work.

“You ate this salad with me?” Deanda offers to Alvero to eat together in one bowl because he sees Alvero deliberately only making one bowl.

“No, I'm not hungry. Eat until you are satisfied sweety. If it's less, I'll make it for you soon. So, don't worry about it.” Alvero said with a smile and folded his hands on the table and observed how Deanda enjoyed the salad.

It feels like tonight Alvero feels so satisfied to make Deanda a bowl of fruit salad. Although it's just something that might seem simple, but for Alvero it really makes him happy. Especially with the busyness of the two of them after marriage makes the two of them also rarely have a special time together like this.

Sometimes there is a little regret in Alvero because their busyness makes him unable to have time alone with Deanda like a newlywed couple in general.

"Sweety, sometimes I really feel guilty about not being able to do so many wonderful things together with you because of our busy lives." Deanda, who had just enjoyed a spoonful of salad in front of her, looked directly at Alvero because she felt strange about what Alvero had said just now.

"Why talk like that? Aren't we always together, both in the palace and in the office?" In a relaxed tone Deanda responded to Alvero's words.

"We have a lot of time together, but we spend it working, not enjoying the time together like a newlywed couple in general." Hearing Alvero's words, Deanda smiled as her hands clasped Alvero's hands.

"Don't worry about my Al. I'm ready to accept every risk of being the wife of a king like you. And I'm very happy with my life now. Not the quantity, the amount and the length of time we spent together, but the quality of the time we spent together. Isn't that what's important now for both of us?" Deanda said as she rolled her eyes at Alvero while letting go of her hand.

Although Alvero did not answer Deanda's words, but the smile and aura of relief on Alvero's face was enough to make Deanda understand that Alvero agreed with his thoughts just now.
