Not the Dumpster-in-law
Ajeng Subdued

Ajeng is in the office. He had no classes to teach, so just stayed behind his desk. He looked in silence. Her feelings are raging after knowing a big secret that has been hidden by her husband. It was as if she had only known her husband again, even though they had been together for the past few months as a couple.

Ajeng had only just found out so he thought about what he was feeling right now. She had just learned about her husband's secret that no one had ever known. He is also like other people, who assume that Abiyasa is a fool and can not think like normal people in general.

But in fact her husband is an intelligent person and has extraordinary abilities that no one has ever thought of. Even her husband's family didn't know.

Ajeng's feelings that initially did not care and did not like her husband now began to change. But he also realized, if this sense is actually not only when he knows the truth. But it had existed long before, only Ajeng did not realize it for sure.

"I can't believe that I just learned of a big secret that my husband had been hiding. He is a very intelligent person and has extraordinary abilities."

"Although the reason was to protect her herself, but why? what the hell is going on?"

He recalls all the moments and conversations they had together, even though nothing ever mattered. But now everything looks different and unexpected. She felt that she had considered her husband as if he was a mediocre person, even she had once demeaned him by calling him stupid. Just like her mother did, who often called her husband stupid.

However, now she realizes that her husband is a very intelligent and has extraordinary abilities. A great secret that he had been hiding and never thought of by anyone.

Abiyasa has admitted to Ajeng, that his role to be a fool and an idiot is to protect himself from someone. But Abiyasa never mentioned the name of the person he avoided. Abiyasa asks Ajeng not to tell anyone this secret, even if it is the closest people or their own families.

"What have I been doing all this time? I lowered his intelligence, called him stupid, and did not appreciate his abilities and potential. How can I do that to my husband?"

"I feel so guilty and ashamed. I had to mend our relationship and give Abi the proper treatment, because after all he is my husband."

"However, what should I do next? What do I have to say or do to let her know that I am aware of my mistake and want to fix our relationship?"

He was confused as to what he was going to do. He still doesn't believe everything he knows about Abiyasa.

"Do I have to apologize first? Or do I have to start over and learn more about him?"

"What does he think of me? Is he upset or angry that I never treated him well?"

He looked at her with empty eyes. He muttered to himself, thinking about the next step to take. She knew that she had to talk to her husband and express her feelings, yet she felt anxious and worried about her husband's reaction.

"I have to talk to Mas Abi. I have to express my feelings and apologize for the wrongs I have done so far. I had to show him that I could also be his trustworthy wife."

"But I don't know how Abi reacted when I expressed all my feelings. What if he just laughed at the submission?"

He took a deep breath and calmed himself. She then gets ready to prepare herself later while talking to her husband and expressing all her feelings honestly and openly.

I don't know how long Ajeng sat alone at his desk. He also muttered alone with his daydream.

Suddenly his phone rang giving a message notification. "Hhhhh..."

Ajeng took a deep breath and checked her phone when she received a text message from her husband. He opened the message and read with a feeling of surprise and happiness.

Her husband, whom she had always considered an unromantic person, because of an idiot, sent her a romantic message that touched her heart. She felt disbelief that her husband could express his feelings that way, and her feelings towards her husband were increasing.

Don't forget to eat lunch and rest. If it is time to go home, immediately go home no need to stop by.

Ajeng smiled widely and felt very happy reading the "romantic" message from her husband. She felt appreciated and loved, and all her doubts and worries about their relationship seemed to vanish in an instant.

Though if for other people who have been used to receiving messages or replying to messages with her husband, it is certainly different from what she feels today.

"Mas Abi, is this really him?" ask Ajeng with a face of disbelief.

She feels happy that her husband has a romantic and caring side, and feels closer to her than ever before. She feels grateful to have a husband like Abiyasa.

In the past, he did not want to know anything that Abiyasa did with his phone. Especially whenever Abiyasa holds a mobile phone, there are only games and cartoon videos or funny ones.

"So, all this time he was laughing just because he saw those funny videos, not because he was an idiot?"

Now Ajeng began to understand the habits of her husband if he was playing around with his cellphone. It was all a distraction from people, because he couldn't stay up all day looking stupid.

"Mas Abi's. Aren't you tired of playing a fool all this time?"

"Hhh... What can I do so that Mas Abi can be himself?"

Question after question came to Ajeng's mind, who was upset with his own feelings for Abiyasa. Abiyasa is her own husband.

The husband that she once rejected and did not consider because they were married to the coercion of her mother, who actually had a lot of debt to the Abiyasa family.

In other words, Ajeng is the death of his mother to pay off his debts.
