THAT INCOMPLETE LOVE STORY

Chapter 1

"I Love you Alina...My Love..."

Adelle frantically opened her eyes and rose up by panting heavily, covered with sweat all over her face.

"Wha..what is this dream about?!"

*Sigh*

"Since the day I've turned eighteen this girl always appear in my dreams!".Adelle closed her eyes, then continued by wearing a lovely expression on her face.

"But..whoever this girl is..she is really gorgeous..and..also sometimes it kinda feel like, we've met each other before".Adelle said by gently touching her chest, when her heart skipped a beat.

"But then again...I've never seen someone like her before in my entire life?..Anyway..what was that name she said..it was..".Adele thought for a while, then said being enthusiastic.

"Ah! Yes! Alina!"

Soon the joyous expression on Adele's face was faded, then in a serious tone she asked to herself.

"But? Who is Alina? And...if she appears in my dream then..then why was saying the name Alina..isn't my name Adele".She paused for a while, then continued by adjusting her morning messy hair."Argh! Why am I wastin my time by thinkin 'bout some strange drea-"

*knock-knock*

Adele quickly cleared her throat, then said lovingly."Come in Marie".

Marie Nanon was the head maid of their mansion since Adele was born, it was her who took care of Adele and gave her the love of a mother, since the queen, Eleanor Embiran, the birth mother of Adele, kept herself always busy to hide her depressed side from everyone after the king passed away due to a car accident when Adele turned one year old.

She kept herself so much busy that she even stopped breastfeeding Adele only at her age of one, then ordered Marie to start her weaning. Eventually, it was like, once in a blue moon for queen and Adele to even talk with each other.

In actuality, the queen never had an intention to keep distances from Adele. She was doing it all, because, whenever she saw Adele it reminded her of the King, those crystal-like blue eyes and silky brown hair of Adele which resembled him made her to lose her control and to lead out tears from her eyes, revealing that hidden depressed side of hers, which she did not want to ever happen. She wanted herself to be a strong mother for Adele so that she could never feel the absence of not having a father, that was the reason for the queen to always be harsh towards Adele.

Being unaware, Adele thought that her mother hated her because the king died on her first birthday. By the time, when she turned five, she counted herself as the reason for her father's death, then eventually, she found her comfort zone near Marie and loved her the most.

*Clack*

Marie opened the huge door of Adele's room and said by bowing her head down obediently.

"Good morning Milady".The maid raised up her head, then said to Adele respectfully "Milady, if you allow me, shall I take out the clothes for you to wear at your first day of university today"

"Sure, go ahead, and..how many times I've to tell you that don't bow your head to me?".Adele said with frowned eyebrows.

"Pardon Milady, but, It is necessary for the royal maids to act like this or else her highness would get angry at me".Marie said respectfully.

"Who cares! She barely even return to the mansion and you are sayin that she would notice this, Nah, don't worry Marie! She won't care".Adele said being annoyed.

"Milady, you should not say such things about queen Eleanor, she is your mother"

"Mother? Which mother acts like this to her child? Today's the first day of my university, is she here never?".Adelle asked with rage in her voice, meanwhile, Marie stood their stunned without answering to her."Ha! Why aren't you answerin? Hic..I've never ever received that warmth of a mother from her..it felt like she had literally abandoned me!".Tears were rolling down her rosy, pink cheeks.
