Not Cinderella
Road In Monas

Alyssa looked at the amazement of the city of Jakarta from the top of Monas. All the sights he wanted to see could be here. Being at this height actually makes him squeak. But because they were in the room, he felt nothing.

Alyssa's smiling face from earlier made Zayden unable to turn away. A soft smile and full of sincerity is really able to make his heart always rustle warm.

Alyssa was just a simple girl, a girl who had nothing. She's an orphan girl, just like Zayden. They just don't have both parents anymore. But the difference is, Alyssa can live freely and govern herself, while Zayden. From long ago, even until now, he could not resist in the slightest.

If you could choose, Zayden would love to be like Alyssa. Who lives wherever he wants and does whatever he wants.

Ah.. why is his life this sad. Even in search of happiness, he had to hide first.

"Mas" Alyssa's soft call surprised Zayden.

"Kok daydreaming???" alyssa asked as she looked at Zayden and leaned against the wall.

Zayden shook his head slowly and smiled . He took a deep breath and looked at the expanse of Jakarta with such a nanar view.

"Is your life happy???" zayden asked arrived.

Alyssa who got such a question seemed to frown. He looked at Zayden strangely.

"Why is that?" ask Alyssa anyway.

"I'm so jealous to see your life" Zayden replied.

Alyssa snorted a smile hearing that. He also looked back at the expanse of Jakarta in front there.

"What try to do. I'm an orphan. I have no one but my uncle. Living alone in a city of people. Must work to find food. Not good for you. Tired" said Alyssa while laughing. The laughter sounded so bitter.

"But at least you can define your own life" said Zayden. His eyes are still looking ahead.

Alyssa looked at Zayden in surprise.

"Can't you do that?" alyssa asked slowly. Zayden seemed to be carrying such a heavy burden.

And yes, Zayden shook his head slowly and smiled bitterly.

"Since both my parents died. I was taken care of by Grandpa. I was taken care of with all my heart and given everything I wanted. But I can't choose what I choose" Zayden replied.

Alyssa was stunned to hear that.

"I could never decide for myself my life. Everything was arranged by Grandpa. Whatever it is" Zayden replied. His breath sounded so heavy.

Alyssa rubbed Zayden's burly arm gently. He smiled as Zayden turned his head.

"Maybe it's because he's so affectionate. I have to be grateful that there are still people who care" said Alyssa.

But Zayden shook his head

"That's it, I feel like he's got too much of a grip on my life" Zayden replied.

"Living alone is not good. I even want someone to rule my life" Alyssa replied with a small laugh

"Even for your future?" ask Zayden

"Pair of intent?" ask Alyssa

Zayden was silent, he looked back.

He was unable to reveal any further. It's too painful.

But suddenly he gasped as Alyssa clasped his hand.

"Let's walk again. Didn't you just say we're here for fun?" invite Alyssa with her cheerful smile as usual.

Zayden immediately smiled and nodded.

"Yes, come on" replied Zayden

Zayden's sweet treatment and his gaze could not lie to Alyssa, if Zayden must also like her. But why is it as if Zayden doesn't want to talk about it? Is this related to his words earlier? about her grandfather who was too restrictive of her life.

I don't know...

Alyssa just wanted to spend today with Zayden happily.

And yes, they did spend the afternoon walking around the national monument. Sit together, talk lightly, even eat five-footed food there. Zayden again could again feel a simple happiness that was able to make his heart become calm.

"This is what is it?" zayden asked as he ate a meal that tasted like a cake, soft enough and in it there was like a mouthful of Fla.

"This is called a sus cake. Yummy, right?" asked Alyssa who was eating cilor with so many sauce. Zayden even had a goosebumps to see it.

"Lumayanlah, rather than wriggling you eat it. Fear of stomach pain" said Zayden

Alyssa laughed and shook her head while enjoying her meal without being awkward. Thankfully, there is cake here. So something was eaten by Zayden.

"No, it's normal. Sometimes I like to wonder. His taste is like a big boss, afraid of eating on the side of the road" said Alyssa

uhuk uhuk

Zayden who was eating his cake immediately choked on hearing that. And instead of helping, Alyssa laughs at him. Moreover, looking at Zayden's reddened face.

"But just said that is even the choking mas" said Alyssa while rubbing Zayden's back.

"You're shocked" Zayden grumbled

"Snackdawatin. Mas aja baperan" murmured Alyssa while taking a handkerchief from inside her bag.

"It would seem like this" said Alyssa, as her hands rubbed Zayden's mouth gently.

Zayden smiled and looked at Alyssa's face up close. The longer with Alyssa, the more she could not turn away. But if he dodges, his heart is really not strong to resist longing.

"Why see me like that?" ask Alyssa

"You are beautiful" replied Zayden

Blushes

Alyssa immediately snorted a smile and turned her blushing face away.

"That's a great mode" Alyssa replied with a small laugh.

But Zayden shook his head instead, he grabbed Alyssa's hand gently.

"Yes, I can't feel this anymore. I'm..."

pluck..

The food in Alyssa's hand fell down immediately when her eyes suddenly saw someone standing at the end of the road beside a shady tree.

Man in black jacket.

"What's wrong?" ask Zayden who did not continue his words.

"Mas.he ..he came again" said Alyssa who was still looking that way. Even his hands instantly returned Zayden's grasp tightly.

Zayden looked back. And indeed, he could see a man in a black jacket looking at them so fixedly and sharply.

Don't want anything to happen to Alyssa here. Zayden immediately pulled Alyssa's hand away from there.

"We're going to Sya" she asked.

They immediately ran away quickly leaving the place. And strangely, the man also seemed to be chasing them. And that made Alyssa even more frightened.
