Not Cinderella
Just Alyssa

This afternoon Zayden was in Zega's company. His face was crumpled and not excited at all. He was just thinking about how he could convince his grandfather of his relationship with Alyssa.

Zayden even knew that lord Juanda was a person who absolutely could not be opposed long ago. His decision is absolute and indisputable.

And this is the first time Zayden has asked for anything in his life. And damn it was about his grandfather's good name. Everyone will definitely find out about who Alyssa will be the future daughter-in-law of the Zega family. Of course who Alyssa is everyone will know.

Alyssa was just an orphan girl and a restaurant waitress. Their social status is quite high. Like the heavens and the earth. A true barrier wall is difficult to penetrate.

But how else, if Zayden's feelings were already so strong on the girl. Such a simple young girl with all her innocence and cheerfulness.

Zayden is in love with Alyssa.

Zayden sighed heavily. Squeeze her hair tightly. His head is really dizzy.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door made Zayden immediately turn towards the door.

Jimmy came in with some paperwork in his hand.

Zayden's assistant looked at Zayden sadly. He even sat directly in front of Zayden while putting down the documents he brought.

"This is really difficult" said Zayden who again squeezed his head and bowed bitterly.

"The big master won't accept Alyssa easily sir" Jimmy said.

"Then what should I do. Though this is the first time I asked him for something" said Zayden with a sigh that is quite heavy.

"Will you give up?" ask Jimmy.

Zayden looked at Jimmy as if he didn't like him.

"Of course not. For the rest of my life, this was the first happiness I ever felt. If I may choose I would rather live in poverty than part with Alyssa " replied Zayden.

"If so, just go ahead, sir. Show the big master if you and Miss Alyssa really love each other ", Jimmy said.

"You know how my grandfather wasn't. If he had said no, it would have been in accordance with his words" Zayden said.

Jimmy immediately scratched his temple which was not itchy. He also did not know what to help now. He did not even dare with lord Juanda.

"For now my grandfather's blessing has not been obtained. But what I'm worried about is my engagement to Anabella" Zayden said.

"I have to go to Anabella and say this. So that he no longer wishes for me" Zayden added.

"You sure?" jimmy asked a little doubt. He knows how the famous model is. The only daughter of Alexander's family.

"Yes, the engagement day is getting closer. And before it's too late." replied Zayden.

"Okay sir, I'll set a time for you to meet him" Jimmy said.

"Make sure tonight" Zayden said.

"Okay, sir" replied Jimmy.

Yes, Zayden did have to tell Anabella about this immediately. He can't delay for long. Zayden did not want to let them down, although he knew, with this decision everyone would be disappointed.

..

In the afternoon, Alyssa is at work. He just finished his job. Currently waiting for an invitation.

Don't know who's gonna pick him up, whether it's Zayden or Jimmy. Alyssa was already confused as to which one to guess now.

He still can not think clearly if it turns out that his lover is a big boss.

But how else, not about Zayden's treasure that Alyssa is defending now. But about his feelings.

Alyssa immediately smiled when she saw a motor sport stop right in front of her.

Turns out Zayden's the one who picked up.

And indeed, Zayden came home early to be able to pick up Alyssa as usual.

He patted the back seat, signalling for Alyssa to get on the bike immediately.

Alyssa smiled and went straight up on Zayden's bike.

Alyssa's smile was always able to make Zayden feel much calmer in the midst of his heartbreak.

Alyssa immediately wrapped her arms around Zayden as the man began to ride his bike at high speed, as usual.

The warm embrace of Alyssa made her really comfortable.

Nothing they say along the way. They are just as silent and enjoy each other the moment they always look forward to. The moment when the two were like this.

Zayden took his bike to the edge of the green lake. The usual place they spend until night.

"Don't you keep coming here?" alyssa asked as she got off the bike.

Zayden took off his helmet and smiled faintly.

"This place is calm, it's good to be with you" replied Zayden who also got off the bike.

Alyssa snorted a smile and directly walked towards the long chair on the edge of the lake.

The atmosphere of the twilight was quite quiet. Because it will soon be dark.

"Yes mode" joked Alyssa.

Zayden smiled faintly and shook his head.

They sat in the chair and looked at the lake.

But Alyssa turned back to Zayden. This afternoon Zayden's face looked so tired and tangled. Not as excited as last night. This morning she did not meet Zayden, as Alyssa took an online taxi booked by Zayden.

And only this afternoon did she meet this lover again.

"Why? Tired?" alyssa asked as she rubbed Zayden's shoulder.

And no matter what was going on in the man's mind, he even slightly gasped just because of that gentle touch.

Zayden turned to Alyssa who was smiling looking at him. And Alyssa could tell that there were indeed a lot of burdens that Zayden was harboring right now.

"Later tonight I'm going to meet Anabella, yes" Zayden said.

"Anabella?" ask Alyssa. He was confused because he did not know who Anabella was.

"The girl that my grandfather set me up" Zayden replied.

Deg

Alyssa's heart was like it had been hit by something hearing that.

She was speechless, but Zayden immediately grabbed her hand and grasped it gently.

"Two more weeks actually our engagement will be held. But I decided to cancel everything. Tonight I'm going to meet Anabella to talk about this" Zayden said.

Alyssa was flabbergasted to hear that.

Two more weeks??

The engagement?

"Mas.." murmured Alyssa. Even he did not know what to say now. Why did Zayden do this.

"I told you, I will fight for you. And I should be able to choose now. I told Grandpa about our relationship" Zayden said.

"Then how?" ask Alyssa. He's really scared right now.

Zayden smiled and rubbed Alyssa's hand gently.

"We fight the same. You want to help me, don't you" Pinta Zayden.

His eyes were full of weight, his face was really hopeful. Zayden was willing to give up all of it for Alyssa's sake. And now, it's Alyssa's turn to be able to give her spirit.

It sounds impossible, but they really love each other.

Alyssa smiled and nodded, while returning the hand tightly.

"I will always have a mas. As long as I can fight, I will fight too. Thank you for everything" Alyssa said

Zayden smiled and immediately pulled Alyssa into his arms.

Close your eyes and enjoy the soft and warm feeling of this hug.

Oh my...

It's tough, but it's his first request. Zayden just wants Alyssa in every life of his.
