NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

ABOUT MELVA'S LOVER

Deanda could clearly see the disappointed streak from Melva's current face. But curiosity makes Deanda want to ask further the relationship between Melva and her lover.

"If you may know... What made Countess Melva fall in love with your lover? Is it love at first sight?" Melva immediately put a smile on her lips hearing a question from Deanda.

Ah, who started empress Deanda. The figure of a woman is beautiful, graceful and also kind. For people who do not know clearly about the background of the empress, that person must think that the empress comes from among the nobility or the rich who are well-respected, respected people, because his attitude really showed the attitude of a true noble. And there was not the slightest impression of arrogance even though he had a high position in Gracetian. Talking to him feels comfortable, like talking to an old friend.

Melva said inwardly as her eyes looked in awe at Deanda before deciding to answer honestly what Deanda had just questioned her just now.

"The beginning of our meeting was due to an accident. At that time he was driving his mother to the hospital and accidentally hit by a car I was driving. As a result of the accident, her mother is now paralyzed, and she as the only child must take care of her mother alone. It was what made me salute and be amazed at his persistence and how much he loved his mother. Rarely is a young man, let alone not married so painstakingly and attentively with his mother. I am slowly falling in love with her. But as the empress knew, papa didn't support my relationship with her." Hearing the explanation from Melva, Deanda gave a smile of admiration at the reason why the girl was so defending her lover.

"If you don't mind. As an artist, what does your lover do?" For some reason, hearing the story from Melva, Deanda's curiosity towards Melva's lover feels bigger.

"He's a composer. He is a hard worker, unfortunately until now his works are still not known by many people. For a while he often filled live music performances at several cafes with his friends." Melva said as she picked up a goblet from the tray that was being carried by a waiter who walked around to offer her the drink.

(Composer (in Indonesian called "component" and not "composer") is a person who writes original compositions of instrumental and vocal music in solo format, including, the duo trio quartet et al up to the orchestra and pass on to others to play it. While the person who makes a song or melody alone is called a songwriter, and who makes a song accompaniment is called an arranger. There is a difference between composer and arranger. Arranger usually only rearrange the work of the composer. One of the famous composers of the world is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, while the Indonesian composers who played a big role include, Slamet Abdul Sjukur, Amir Pasaribu, Otto Sidharta, Tony Prabowo, Michael Asmara, among others, Ben Pasaribu, Gatot Danar Silistyanto, Tony Maryana, Matthew Shanbone, Aldy Maulana, Septian Dwi Cahyo, Christanto Hadijaya, etc. The concept of a musical work is a sound that is accepted by individuals and varies based on the history, location, culture and taste of a person Composers are the ones who create the results of musical works.).

"It's a pity that I hope in the future he can become a famous composer." A small laugh again decorated Melva's lips as soon as she heard the words from Deanda that felt so comforting and soothing to her heart.

Having a conversation with Deanda had unconsciously made Melva forget about the incident while still with her father on the deck of the ship.

"Therefore I strongly support the Empress. I knew that because of the accident, her mother had become paralyzed, while she had to take care of a niece and a niece whose parents had died. He had to send his nephew to school and also cost money for their daily lives. So as to help ease their needs, the regular expenses of her mother's medicine, and for her nephew's school fees, I had to give most of the proceeds from the sale of my paintings to her." Melva's words succeeded in slightly stirring Deanda's heart.

"Maybe not all of them, because he thinks what I give is not enough to pay for all of his mother's health care bills and their daily living expenses. But mostly yes, I bear it as my responsibility because as a result of my actions, his mother had to live suffering from paralysis. But empress.please don't say anything to papa about what I just told you. If papa hears it, he'll hate it even more." Hearing the story from Melva, Deanda slightly scrunched her forehead, there was a big question that suddenly stuck in Deanda's heart about Melva and her lover.

"Countess Melva, instead of me trying to patronize you. Because I don't actually have much experience in romance either. But, can I ask about something that might also be a consideration for Countess Melva. Countess Melva's... Do you love your boyfriend because he really loves him, or just a feeling of pity and responsibility for what has happened in the past?" Melva's eyes immediately widened with a slightly jolted body in shock at Deanda's unexpected sharp question just now.

Inevitably Deanda's question just made Melva silently pensive. Melva's brain seemed like it was electrocuted, making her startled while thinking hard. To him Deanda's question just now seemed to make him realize from his long sleep, whether it was true that he loved his lover or just out of pity and responsibility.

Seeing Melva's shocked face, as well as her body's attitude which showed that the girl looked tense and did not know what to say to answer Deanda's question, Deanda immediately smiled gently towards Melva. Honestly Deanda felt a little guilty seeing the tense and at the same time confused face of Melva upon hearing her question.

But, for some reason, Deanda feels uncomfortable hearing how Melva had to spend so much money on the care and living needs of her lover's family, the truth as a man should be he who bears financial responsibility. Moreover, the man had not been legally bound as Melva's husband. So, you could say there is no family relationship or anything that requires Melva to share the cost of living for the male family.

For medical expenses it may make sense as a form of a sense of responsibility. Because after all Deanda understood about the guilt Melva had hit the mother of the man. But the cost of his nephew's school and their daily lives, it seemed like it felt strange to Deanda.

"I'm sorry if my question just wasn't in place, maybe it was too deep and personal, making Countess Melva feel uncomfortable..." Hearing Deanda's words, Melva immediately shook her head and forced a smile on her thin lips.

"No Empress.... The Queen's question I must think well of. I've never thought of anything like that before." Melva immediately responded to an apology from Deanda which to her felt too polite.

Deanda as a Gracetian empress, Melva should be proud and honored to have had the opportunity to talk to Deanda. Especially during this time, Alvero since still the crown prince is known to rarely want to socialize with others. So that the existence of Deanda who is besides beautiful but also kind and friendly as Empress Alvero makes many people admire her figure.
