When the Italian archaeologist Luigi Maria Ugolini discovered the sculpture of Dea's head in Butrint, he considered it love at first sight, so he asked to take it with him immediately to Italy. But his plans were thwarted by the Albanian side, when Ugolini tried to traffic Dea's head to Italy. It was the distant year 1924, almost a century ago, when Dea's story was as beautiful as it was intriguing ush Who was not fascinated by the beauty of the newly discovered Dea and who could have predicted at that time that Dea would be not only a symbol of the seductive beauty of any time, but at the same time the origin of a name that tens of hundreds of girls would inherit. And just like Dea of ??Butrint, others would later want, above all, to be no matter how few queens of one heart.

This ours, in fact, succeeded. Without much effort, let’s say, but very carefully he managed to win the heart of one of the sweetest candidates of ‘Love Story’. Today, she herself is not able to explain it, but Albion gave her a spark from the first moment she saw him. Who knew who would be the one who, after a few weeks, would ask her to leave everything to follow her and who would have thought that she, without the slightest doubt, would follow her to build a love that few he called it television and many, who watched it from the outside, called it real.

It has been a few weeks since Dea and Albion left the love show, where their story began, to live out their beautiful feeling. It was February 14th the last day they greeted the public, but the first to mark a new journey in their lives. They are already living in Pristina for a while until they finally decide where the future will be. Such a decision was not easy, but, as Dea says, she decided to make this sacrifice first, as Albion has a more focused life on work and his family in Kosovo… However, decisions remain open.

… Destinations, as well. The future, it is not known what surprises he has in store for both, but the present looks promising. For several weeks, the 'Love Story' couple has settled in a house in Prishtina, work has started for both, but also the first responsibilities have begun to appear. Dea admits that she is surprised by Albion, because he is very dedicated to household chores, but Albion on the other hand is doing his best not to make Dea feel like a foreigner.

For the new life next to each other, for the love they are living outside the lights, for the jealousies that are sometimes inevitable (who would not become jealous with a girl like Dea next to them?), For the insecurities that every love affair has at the beginning of her, but also for upcoming plans, Dea and Albion come exclusively to Class in a black and white interview; transparent, without gloves, completely sincere as the spark that reflects in their eyes as soon as they see each other. 

DEA, how is love going after 'Love Story', has a new life started in Kosovo or not?

It is going very well. We have started a new life together with Albion, we are giving more time to each other and, most importantly, we are together, so we are very happy about that. It has been a while since we transferred to Kosovo, but we think that at the moment we will be going back and forth between Prishtina and Tirana. Not just for the people we have in these two places, but also until we find the balance and life we ??both want to do.

Why did you decide Kosovo and not Albania? Was Albion not willing to sacrifice for you?

The first sacrifice of love I made (laughs). I think it is more difficult for Albion to resume a new life in Albania, as he has his family and businesses set up in Kosovo.

While for me it is somewhat easier to adapt to a new place given that I also work 'freelance'. Plus, I like to start from scratch, I like new places, I have thought positively about this new start.

How were the first days after leaving the program, any 'fears' or insecurities about what awaited you?

These have been really hectic days, full of messages, contacts, congratulations from people who are curious about our off-camera relationship.

But we had the opportunity to be closer to each other and get to know each other with lots of pieces. There were a few of them all, even quarrels, even debates, and moments when we asked each other "Are you sure we will continue this acquaintance?" But it is important that at the end of each discussion, we turn to each other, to love a little more.

What is your biggest flaw that could open "problems" with Albion?

I am a very sociable type and easily approach others. Sometimes Albion misunderstands my kindness to others and the fact that I am a flirtatious man. It opens up a lot of problems and quarrels for us, but I think over time he will realize that I have chosen him and I just love him, there is no reason to become jealous. Because this 'disease' of jealousy still accompanies him ... Although, occasionally, he accuses me of being guilty.

How did you manage to overcome prejudices about a young girl aiming to find love on screen?

It is not easy to build a love story on screen, moreover in the eyes of the Albanian public, as many things are still taboo. I have encountered numerous comments following the statement I made about a post on my social networks. However, these comments did not affect me, because for me, the support I receive from my relatives and those who understand that I was real is valuable.

I never came out of myself, I stayed real, nor did I play the role of the "good girl". I wanted people to know, love or maybe even hate Dean for what he is.

Last night of 'Love Story' you said that you understood from the beginning that Albion 'hit'. Why did you decide to make that journey when your heart went out to him?

Something inside me knew from the beginning that Albion was right, I just did not admit it to myself. I was skeptical about love at first sight, so I denied it and fought with myself, trying to convince the heart that I needed time. At the end of every meeting with Albion, every feeling and emotion experienced, I held tightly close to my heart.

I realized that he was right at the moment he did not give up on me, but with his composure he fought and believed in the continuity of our history. Chemistry was born from our first meeting. So then I reflected and thought it was not worth "fighting the windmills", I decided to express how I feel to him and the whole public.

However, we also saw other flirtations, meeting Kristin for example ... there was "fire" there ...

I want to clarify once again my relationship with Kristin, as I am being given the opportunity again. Although it turned out to be a provocative meeting, we were both sure that nothing could arise between us. Our goal was to "wake up" a little bit the cast of girls and boys. And we did our best. However, we are and I believe we will remain good friends.

But some guys in the show are still insecure in your relationship ... even a part of the audience as well, what can you tell them about the truth of this love?

I do not know why they are skeptical or how I can quell their skepticism, but they may have seen that Albion has openly expressed his jealousy on several occasions and may think that this could become a hindrance. But we give each other a lot of love and Albion, too, is quite loving with people he loves and forgives unconditional love. Even during these weeks we are living together, he has surprised me with the dedication and care he shows to me, as well as to all the people he has and loves near him.

What was the weirdest comment / news you heard about yourself during your time on 'Love Story'?

To be honest, after the episode that aired on 'Love Story', when Albion and I declared ourselves for each other, many people wrote to me and congratulated me, thinking that we were crowned (laughs). This was the strangest and most comical news at the same time. For comments on social networks, better not to talk. Although most of them have been positive and for that I thank everyone who has supported and congratulated me.

Currently, what are you doing in Kosovo? Is the life of Tirana different from that of Prishtina?

We still do not believe that the experience in "Love Story" ended so quickly, but the important thing is that we achieved the goal to fill half of our hearts.

The near future is in Kosovo, this is the initial plan, to live for a while in Albion's hometown. We are still organizing some work, meetings with friends and relatives of each other. Albion continues with his work and business, while I am reviewing some offers ...

Of the type ... Aims for television, as far as I understand?

I was not aiming at anything, but he is aiming at me (laughs). In fact, at the moment I can not say anything concrete. What I can find is that I am amazed at how well they received me in Kosovo and how much they followed me. Yes, I am also thinking of some offers that have been made to me to be part of the screen. Why I deny it, I am seduced, but I can say that for now, because I still do not know how and what I will decide. Now that decisions are no longer made alone, it becomes even more difficult right? (joke).

I am thinking what an economist who has also worked as a flight attendant can do on television ...

Think I might be able to "cloud" young people's dreams, hahaha. Since we went back to my job as a flight attendant, I also said in 'Love Story' that it was a job I had dreamed of and I achieved. Of course, I could not always do it, but flying over the clouds takes you to another world, no doubt also visiting different parts of the world is an opportunity that not everyone enjoys. 'Being in the air', which was sometimes even prejudiced in the show, actually has an adrenaline rush that not everyone translates equally. I enjoyed it a lot, but not to mention the part inside the plane, when people (Albanians) fight about "who took my suitcase".

Will you tell me now how you have relations with Albion's family, sisters, for example?

Ahhh, can I avoid this question? Joking. I have seen that Albion is very attached to his sisters, but also to them. Single brother, what can I expect? I had the opportunity to meet them and they are very good. Of course, they have their lives and I do not think they will affect the way we want to live our lives. Some have grown up and educated abroad, so I'm glad we started to build a correct relationship while respecting each other's spaces.

What about cohabitation with Albion, who does the housework? Have you started learning cooking or does Albion continue to cover this sector?

Ëmmm, I have a weak point in cooking. I do not know how to cook and at the moment, let's say "we are inventing". Albion is very responsible and dedicated and for that I was surprised, I did not expect him at these levels. He cooks in most cases, or we decide to eat out. Prishtina has a lot of delicious food, so there is no need to leave cooking only my "hostage". I'm joking, but I'll also learn to cook very quickly ...

Any other, close, plan to formalize this love?

At the moment we can not say anything. We are trying to reconcile with our lives, now together and, later, to see. We are still very young, we have time to think about other steps in the future. At the moment, we are together and we are very happy.

ALBION, what note would you put on the journey in 'Love Story', would you change anything if you went back?

Without a doubt, I would put a 10 on the star. I have gained a love and it makes me very happy. I would change absolutely nothing. Everything has been great for me and this was shown by the finalization.

What is the first thing that attracted you to Dea, after which you thought the relationship with her would be long?

The first thing that attracted me to Dea was the strong character, positivity, respect, and for everything she was measured. They were traits that attracted me more to her, so from week to week, I just got stronger feeling for her. I quickly realized that we would be for each other (of course, after I found out her consent as well).  

How would you describe Dean in three qualities?

Dea, first sacrifices for what she has on her side without any conditions and that, to me means a lot to a man's character. Then, as I said above, her character, but also her ambition, made me realize that she is a girl with values, so I want to always have her by my side.

What's her biggest flaw you've noticed so far? ('lazdrueme' is not accepted)

Hahaha, he is lazy.

What was more difficult when trying to build relationships on a TV show?

To invade privacy, I think this is more difficult. You have to face all kinds of attacks, right times, but more unfair, with prejudices, with comments. The presence of cameras also makes recognition more difficult, because we, no matter how much we want to be ourselves, find it difficult when we think that it is a whole public that follows us. We need to show our best side to him, though in reality, he is not always what we display.

Yet you would suggest a similar experience to your peers, why?

It is a good experience, you get to know people better, you know what you want from life and you are always one step ahead because you are always surrounded by educated people who have clear motives for life.

How were the days as a couple, behind the cameras? What did you discover new in Dea?

Super, super good. I have never felt better than with Dean. Now that I am behind the cameras, I know him even more, I have even discovered that he is not lazdrume (spoiled), but he is lazy.

One of the sisters gave the best rating to Dean (and made you very happy). Can you tell us a little more about that?

Yes, I got a rating from my third sister that I liked very much and I believe I managed to show her that I am the same both in front of the cameras and behind them. (I wish you to show Dea and the public to the end that not only are you good in appearance, but in all respects. Dea should feel lucky). And I am convinced that it will be so.

A showbiz couple or a couple completely cut off from public life? Why?

As long as we were in a show that had a lot of viewership, normal that showbiz couple would be, hahaha.  

Have you asked Deas to change something about you (other than the fact that he is coming after you)?

No, I did not ask for anything else, I just want to be myself at all times. If we are who we are, we will always be happy next to each other.

Love with fame or fame without love? How is your relationship?

Besides love for each other and have the best time as friends. Everything else after that, will be better for both. I think the best is love with happiness.

… Love was read in their eyes, it is enough to see as much attention and attention as they followed each other's movements during this photo set. It was not at all difficult to ask them to convey to all this pure feeling that was born to them, not even to tell them how to pose in front of the camera. Both are used to the photography, the light and the colors it conveys, but this time they chose to live "naked" in front of the public.

Black and white to show that the innovation is in 'being together'. A beautiful couple who, more than colored eyes, penetrate each other through the colors of the soul. And if they are always blossoming, it is certain that this will be lifelong, no matter how black and white life is outside. Because heart colors are always long lasting…

Even in the black and white set of Dea and Albion there were full ngjyra colors for those who can see them.
