Not Cinderella
Story Miris

This afternoon Alyssa was in her kitchen. He's cooking a visitor order. Alyssa works with passion, because really working to be a chef is her mind since long ago.

And he really did not expect that now, he was already a chef.

Alyssa was serious about cooking, as she did not want to disappoint the trust she had placed in her.

"Done" he said when he had sailed a plate of satay with a very beautiful order.

And a waiter brought the plate to the front.

Alyssa rubbed the sweat on her face while glancing at the clock that turned out to be past two o'clock in the afternoon.

She was hungry and sick, and she had not had lunch.

Alyssa rubbed her stomach gently.

"I'm sorry, honey. I forgot to love you to eat. What are we eating this afternoon" murmured Alyssa as she walked to the refrigerator.

There was sausage there, and Alyssa just wanted to eat it, fried in chili sauce. Looks delicious.

And Alyssa immediately executed it, not long ago fried sausage with premium quality was presented perfectly.

Alyssa took off her apron and sat down at the dining table that was there. Today is quite tired, because visitors who come and want his cuisine quite a lot. But it really made Alyssa like him.

"Yes..."

Zea's voice instantly made Alyssa turn her head. He who just wanted to eat his sausage instantly did not so.

"Miss.." said Alyssa. He immediately smiled looking at Zea who was sitting in front of him. Zea's face was a little pale, for some reason. Is she not feeling well?

"Miss has eaten, I made sausages for lunch. Let's eat together" Alyssa bargained

But Zea looked shaken.

"I've eaten, your satay is quite tasty. You just had lunch now?" ask Zea

Alyssa smiled and nodded as she tasted her sausage.

"Don't eat too late, you can get sick" Zea said.

"I forgot miss, after all today there are quite a lot of visitors" said Alyssa

Zea nodded

"Yes, they all love your cooking. They say it fits in the tongue of those who like Indonesian food" Zea replied.

Alyssa who heard that immediately smiled happily. It feels so happy.

"You are great, just a few days here you have managed to attract visitors. If this continues I make sure that the restaurant will definitely be more advanced" said Zea

Alyssa smiled and nodded

"I'm happy if they like my cooking, miss" said Alyssa, who still enjoys her sausage.

"Taste you good. When, you can teach me to make the satay you gave me. The spice is very well-fitting and the taste is also distinctive. I want to make it for Mr. Malik" Zea said

Alyssa almost choked on hearing that.

"Did Mr Malik like my cooking, miss?" alyssa asked doubtfully. Mr. Malik who is full of perfection is too grueling to imagine.

"Like.he did not refuse. Last night when he tasted your cooking, he wanted to eat it" Zea replied. His eyes look sparkling.

"Alright lady, tomorrow I will definitely teach the lady to make her. Miss looks so fond of the lady's lover yes" teased Alyssa

Zea smiled and shook her head.

"He's not just a lover, but a husband" whispered Zea.

uhuk uhuk

Alyssa immediately choked on hearing that and Zea immediately gave her a drink.

Alyssa immediately downed her white water quickly and rubbed her mouth slowly.

"Miss, are you serious?" alyssa asked in disbelief. Alyssa thought Malik was her lover. Turns out to be a husband. It was fitting that they looked so intimate and were often in Zea's room just the two.

"Yes, we've been married for almost two months" Zea replied.

"Goodness, I think Miss is still a girl and Mr. Malik is the mistress's lover" Alyssa said

Zea smiled and shook her head.

"No. people do know he's my lover, but not a few also know he's my husband" Zea replied but his face looked sad.

Alyssa looked at him in confusion.

"Miss." call Alyssa

Zea looked at Alyssa gently.

"What is the joy of living with someone who has everything?" ask Alyssa

And this time Zea who seemed to be frowning, but a second later she immediately smiled and shook her head.

"Don't know" Zea answered briefly.

"Don't know?" ask Alyssa

Zea nodded

"Be happy when we can have everything we want. From fancy clothes, jewelry, and also food. But sometimes, hurtful words always come from the outside. Like the word inappropriate and the other. You can imagine I'm just an ordinary girl and Mr. Malik is the king. It's different" Zea said.

And this time Alyssa nodded with a look that turned sad.

"I feel it miss" said Alyssa

"Because I am also the wife of one of the princes in this country" said Alyssa

Zea gasped at hearing that.

"You're married too?" asked Zea with her flabbergasted face.

"Even I am already pregnant" Alyssa replied

Alyssa immediately laughed looking at that flabbergasted and surprised face.

So surprised was he

"Are you pregnant??" ask Zea again

Alyssa nodded

"Five weeks miss" Alyssa replied

Zea shook her head in disbelief hearing this.

"Are you married to Zega's assistant?" ask Zea

Alyssa shook her head with grief

"Young master Emanuel"

Zea's eyes widened and heard him.

"Yes, isn't he." Zea's words came to a halt as Alyssa immediately nodded quickly.

"Yes, he's in jail now" Alyssa replied

Zea immediately looked at Alyssa with sadness.

"But why doesn't anyone know if you're married?" ask Zea anyway.

Alyssa breathed heavily.

"Nobody knows, miss. Even I was married was also only attended by Jimmy's assistant. The great lord does not approve of our relationship" Alyssa replied

Zea rubbed Alyssa's hand gently.

"You're great, you're pregnant, but you can still work now" Zea said.

"That's because I want to prove to the great master that I deserve to be with young master Emanuel miss. I'm just a country girl, if I don't fight like this, how can I be seen" Alyssa said

"You can definitely. You have a chance. Very different from me who can't do anything but follow Mr. Malik, even without the blessing of his sister and family" Zea said

"It's very difficult isn't it. But she is still lucky to be able to be close to the people she loves every day. Despite the opposition, Miss and Mr. Malik are always together. As for me, I can't be like that" Alyssa said.

"Alyssa. But without you knowing, how difficult it would be to just be a wife figure" said Zea.

deg

"Figured wife?" alyssa's

Zea smiled bitterly and nodded

"Do you think Mr. Malik loves me. You're wrong big time. Even if I told you I could marry her because I was my father's debt collector. Do you believe it?" ask Zea

Alyssa was even more astonished to hear that.

Debt-redeeming girl?

That doesn't mean he was sold to Mr. Malik.

Gee whiz...

Worth it...

"Alyssa. You live alone but you can still fight for your life. Even though you don't live one roof with her but you love each other. You also still have the opportunity to enjoy life and pursue your dreams. It's not like I'm locked in a golden cage belonging to Mr. Malik" Zea said.

Truly for whatever sake, hearing this expression of Zea made Alyssa's heart become pity and sorrowful. Is it really all he said? It was only fitting that Zea always forced her smile when she was with Mr. Malik.

Does Alyssa have to feel luckier than Zea?

But the life Alyssa lived was not easy either. Living alone and struggling alone without a husband while pregnant is also not the best option.

Same as painful...

"It turns out you and I are the same. Same has a pretty complicated life problem. But you have to keep fighting, you can definitely achieve your dreams. Your talent already exists" said Zea.

Alyssa immediately smiled and nodded.

"Of course, miss. So too with miss. Although Mr. Malik looks cruel, but I am sure, one day he can definitely love miss" Alyssa replied.

"I'm lucky to have a friend like you. And really, I didn't expect you to be pregnant either" Zea told Alyssa

Alyssa laughed bitterly and nodded

"I'm also happy to know you, Miss. From now on, we can share the sadness together. Because to be honest, sometimes storing your own burden is quite difficult" said Alyssa

Zea smiled and nodded

"It's very difficult" Zea replied

"But lady.. Can I work until I give birth?" ask Alyssa

Zea smiled and nodded

"No matter if you are strong. It's just, are you sure?" ask Zea

Alyssa nodded slowly. Surely not sure, it's just that he really needs considerable funds to build his own business.

Who does not want to relax at home when pregnant. Everyone must want it.

"Miss, I still have to fight to get the blessing of a great master and therefore I still need a lot of money to build my own business" said Alyssa

"You want to make your own restaurant?" ask Zea

Alyssa nodded slowly.

"Well, I'll ask Bayu to help you. He definitely won't forbid you from working until anytime. You have to be spirit yes" said Zea.

Alyssa smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, madam. I hope, miss too" Alyssa replied.
