For a long time Alvero continued to enjoy kissing her lips to Deanda's lips. A long, soft and friendly kiss. Not a hot kiss, but able to make both their chests feel each other's subtle vibrations, realizing that the person who is kissing him is the person they love, people whose existence is truly meaningful in their lives both today and in their future.
"Until how long are we gonna keep going like this? Letting those dirty things stay there?" In the end Deanda pulls her lips away from Alvero's lips, reminding Alvero of their unfinished work.
Deanda's words containing the warning instantly made Alvero smile. Alvero kissed Deanda's lips briefly before finally releasing her arms from Deanda's waist reluctantly.
As soon as Alvero let go of his embrace, Deanda immediately moved back towards the sink. Seeing that Alvero soon caught up with Deanda, and this time he actually helped Deanda to wash the dirty dishes and cookware that were piling up in the sink.

"Finally done. Let's get out." Deanda who had removed the rubber gloves she was wearing and cleaned and dried her hands casually pulled Alvero's left arm which was initially smiling at how Deanda now looked much more relaxed when she was with him.
However, once he saw the direction of Deanda's movement that was about to come out of the wooden house towards the bridge with clothes that only use long-sleeved shirts, so that it can only cover part of Deanda's upper thighs, he said, alvero quickly pulled his wife's right arm so that Deanda's body stood face to face with him.
"Why? Wouldn't we enjoy the beauty of the lake?" With her innocent face Deanda asked Alvero who was holding her breath straight away.
"Seriously you want to come out in clothes like this? I'm not allowing it! You can't go out dressed like that!" Alvero said as his eyes stared towards the lower part of Deanda's body which was like she had just woken up from her sleep.
"Ah, yes.. sorry... I forgot..." Deanda said in an attitude of guilt, making Alvero immediately move his fingertips and gently nudge his wife's forehead that is not aware that the way she dresses can make the body of a man who sees it will experience cold heat and even nosebleeds.
"Come with me..." Alvero pulled Deanda's hand to walk toward the back of the U-shaped wooden house building, so they can enjoy the view of the lake without being observed by others because on the left right of the terrace behind the wooden house, on the right left of it is covered by other buildings, their privacy is both more secure.
"Well, from this place the scenery looks beautiful too." Deanda said with a look of eyes staring with a look of admiration looking towards the lake that looked clean and well-groomed.
As Deanda's eyes shifted towards the right, her eyes widened with her lips smiling broadly at the wooden swing hanging there. Without saying anything to Alvero, with quick steps Deanda walked towards the wooden swing shaped like a long chair left right there is an armrest.
Alvero who saw how excited Deanda saw the swing just smiled while scratching one of her eyebrows with the tip of her index finger.
My wife, so excited to see a swing, to forget her own husband. It's like a kid looking at lollipops and ice cream.
As soon as Alvero sat down to Deanda's left hand, Alvero's right arm immediately coiled around Deanda's shoulder and moved to pull Deanda's head to lean between her arm and shoulder, while Alvero's legs began to move for the swing to sway slowly, making Deanda whose head was leaning on Alvero's arms and shoulders while looking towards the lake, smiling with a face looking so happy.
"After a long time, only this time I can feel the relax of enjoying nature like today." Deanda who sat beside Alvero said as she moved her legs hanging on a slow-moving swing.
"Honestly though I've been to this place with Enzo a lot, but this is only the first time I've ever used this swing." Deanda who heard Alvero's words, immediately raised her head while leaning on Alvero's arms and shoulders, looked at Alvero's face whose head was turning towards her.
"Why is that? Who asked for a swing here?" Deanda said as her hand moved to hold Alvero's hand, which was gently stroking the hair on Deanda's head, with her arms curled around Deanda's shoulders.
"I asked for it. But do you think it wouldn't be funny if Enzo and I were sitting together like we are today? People can think about our relationship. Huh...!" Alvero said as he shook his shoulders, making Deanda laugh amusedly.
"Are you insinuating me now? Ever misunderstood your relationship with Erich? Think you're really gay?" Alvero smiled at the words of his wife who was really smart, could guess the meaning of his previous words that he deliberately said to quip as well as tease her.
"Do you know with your stubbornness that I even had to deliberately make you misunderstand my sexual orientation condition in order for you to marry me? If at that time you knew I wasn't gay, you would have refused to marry me." Alvero said as he pinched Deanda's nose in a fit of anxiety.
"I also do not know how you have managed to bewitch me in such a way that at that time I did not even give you the death penalty or at least life imprisonment because as a commoner even dared to reject the proposal of a son gracetian crown." Hearing Alvero Deanda's words instantly bought her eyes.
“Then why didn't you punish me?” Deanda asked with serious eyes looking at Alvero who could only breathe out a little rough through her lips.
"How can I give you punishment, imagining you being away from me just drives me crazy. Punishing you is like punishing myself." Alvero said with a smile, after which he kissed Deanda's friendly forehead.
"Would you think I dare have a dream to marry a crown prince that I so admire? I am just an ordinary girl... You know, people like Leticia, always scoff at people who have dreams too high..." Deanda said slowly.
"Ck ck ck. Be selfish to get what you want. All this time you live your life by always succumbing to others, including in your dealings with your mother and stepbrother who are like blood-sucking leeches. There are some people who deserve a second chance or forgiveness, but there are some people who do not deserve such generosity. Including the one who almost wretched you today by wounding the white angel." As soon as he heard Alvero's words, Deanda's head straightened, away from Alvero's shoulders and arms.
"What...have you found out who tried to hurt the white angel?" Deanda looked deeply at Alvero with wondering eyes at being so curious, moreover, Deanda could see the dark eyes of Alvero when saying about the person who had dared to hurt the white angel, showing clearly he already knew about who the perpetrator was.
