Not the Dumpster-in-law
The True Feelings

Earlier, when Abiyasa was sitting in front of the laptop, he saw all the motion made Ajeng through the laptop camera that was active. He could clearly see how Ajeng pursed his lips and snorted coldly from being annoyed with him.

However, Abiyasa smiled faintly at Ajeng's reaction. He was pleased with the change in Ajeng's attitude that was jealous of the arrival of Elok earlier. For Abiyasa, this shows that Ajeng has indirectly told him that he has feelings and attention for him.

Or it could also be said that Ajeng had started to love him and pay attention to him.

"It's a rare moment" murmured Abiyasa faintly so that it could not be heard by Ajeng.

In his heart Abiyasa cheered happily at this situation. He felt a little satisfied by making Ajeng jealous and admitted that he really enjoyed this moment.

However, Abiyasa also realizes that he must pay attention to Ajeng's feelings and not let Ajeng's jealousy drag on. He felt the need to talk to Ajeng and explain the real situation so that Ajeng did not feel neglected or unappreciated.

Abiyasa thought, "I should talk to Ajeng and make him feel appreciated. I don't want to make her feel insecure or uncomfortable in our relationship."

Although happy with the situation, Abiyasa knows that she must act mature and take responsibility for Ajeng's feelings that are not okay. He will make sure that their relationship stays healthy and happy.

Finally Abiyasa got up from his seat, walked out towards the kitchen, intending to follow and invite Ajeng to speak. But Ajeng was not there, so he again walked looking for the whereabouts of his wife who apparently did not go to the kitchen.

"It turns out he was there."

The shadow of Ajeng sitting alone on the balcony, clearly visible from behind the glass window. Abiyasa approached, wanting to see more clearly if his wife was jealous so pretended to be annoyed and irritated in her way.

Faintly Abiyasa actually heard the muttering Ajeng who was upset and annoyed with him.

'He is always busy with his work. It seems like she cares more about Indra and her affairs than me.'

'Why can't he appreciate my presence here? I feel neglected and not considered important.'

'I know he has a lot of responsibilities and work to do, but am I not important to him as well?'

'Maybe I should tell him how I feel. He should know that I also want to be appreciated and considered important by him.'

'Hiksss.'

'Why did Abiyasa not realize how important I was to him? Does he really care more about his work than his own family?'

"Ehem...ahem!"

Ajeng quickly turned to the direction Abiyasa came from. His face was clearly pale, under the bright illumination of the room's balcony lights. So Abiyasa knew that Ajeng was surprised by his arrival.

Abiyasa approached Ajeng who was sitting frozen, not daring to move because of nervousness. Moreover, Abiyasa looked at him with an affectionate gaze. "Darling, why are you upset?" asked Abiyasa gently, then sat down next to him Ajeng.

Abiyasa understands very well Ajeng's nervous attitude but still mode on is upset and tries to relieve his feelings. "No, hon. I can feel that you are upset with me. What's the matter exactly?" abiyasa asked a guess but also pretended not to know the cause.

Ajeng still did not want to confess his feelings and continued to feign annoyance at Abiyasa. "Nothing's wrong. I just felt a little ignored, that's all," he replied briefly.

Abiyasa was uncomfortable with the situation and tried to clarify what was really going on. "Darling, I know you're not mad at me. I can see that you are jealous of the Elok who came earlier. But I want you to know that you are my wife. It's a lot higher than Elok who's just my friend."

"After all, who would dare to take your place here?" he added with a question, while Abiyasa's fingers pointed towards his own chest.

Ajeng was silent for a moment and looked at Abiyasa with a surprised and incredulous look. But when she saw her husband's bead, Ajeng's eyes started to look a bit soft. She felt a little relieved that Abiyasa could read her feelings properly. But when he regained consciousness, Ajeng immediately threw his face palely changed with red because he blushed shyly.

"I know if you're just feeling a little jealous because I look so familiar with Elok. But I know that's a sign that you have the same feelings as me, don't you?"

Abiyasa smiled and clasped Ajeng's hands tightly. "Of course, honey. You don't have to make it clear, because you are my wife that I love and I will never make you feel unappreciated or insecure in our relationship" she promised.

Ajeng smiled and felt happy because Abiyasa could appreciate his feelings. They held each other's hands, and Abiyasa carried the hand in front of his face, kissing the back of Ajeng's hand gently. Made Ajeng break eye contact and lowered his face in embarrassment.

Slowly but surely, Abiyasa advanced his face, then kissed his wife's forehead many times. Afterwards without being commanded, who did not start, they both kissed affectionately and both promised to always pay attention to their feelings so that there was no misunderstanding between the two of them.

After that, the two of them started talking, Abiyasa felt the need to overcome the tension between herself and Ajeng. He wanted to show his attention and fix the situation so that Ajeng felt better and not be upset anymore.

"Still pissed?" abiyasa asked with a close look at the girl in front of him, who had been his wife since seven months ago.

She was silent and did not dare to look at her husband. She was ashamed to act like a child.

Abiyasa began to bring her body closer to Ajeng with a warm smile on her face, then hugged Ajeng's body tightly. "I'm sorry, honey. I didn't mean to upset you. I'm just too busy with my work" Abiyasa said gently.

Ajeng was a little surprised by Abiyasa's actions, but she also felt warm and calm in her husband's arms. She returned Abiyasa's embrace and felt relieved when she felt a gentle touch from her husband. "I'm sorry too, Mas Abi. I know you must be busy with work, but sometimes I feel lonely" Ajeng said in a soft voice.

Abiyasa nodded in understanding and kissed Ajeng's forehead. "I know, honey. I will try to pay more attention to you and make you feel more meaningful" Abiyasa said.

Ajeng smiled broadly at her husband's words, he felt warm and loved. "Thank you, Mas Abi. I will try to understand how busy you have," said Ajeng lovingly.

Abiyasa smiled and kissed Ajeng's lips gently, again. "I love you too, baby. And I will always be there for you" Abiyasa said softly.

Ajeng was devastated by her husband's actions and words. He felt calmer and loved. The two of them continued their embrace, feeling closer and more in love with each other.

They both feel more relieved after being open to each other, by expressing the feelings that exist in each other's hearts and suppressing the ego that has dominated both of them so far.
