Not the Dumpster-in-law
Fear of Being Kidnapped

The dog that Alex kidnapped was terrified. She was traumatized because this was the second time she was kidnapped. Abiyasa, as a husband accompanied him in this state of Ajeng.

This situation is very worrying and stressful. Ajeng had been traumatized from being kidnapped before, and now he was experiencing a similar situation again. The anxiety and fear that Ajeng felt was enormous, and it also triggered a physical reaction. His rapid heart rate, excessive cold sweat, and also trembling.

Abiyasa as a husband, worried and anxious over the condition of his wife. He had already tried to calm Ajeng down, provide support and reduce his fear. However, Abiyasa also felt angry and desperate because this situation happened again, and he could not protect his wife completely.

"Sshh, don't be afraid, honey. I'm here with you. We'll get out of this situation, I promise." Abiyasa hugged Ajeng to provide support.

"My-I'm scared, Mas Abi. Why does this have to happen again? hikss hiks..."

He sobbed, recalling all the events that happened to him. Things he never wanted.

Abiyasa let out a long sigh when he heard Ajeng's heart-slicing words. Moreover, Ajeng also said it with a state of crying.

"I know, honey. But you have to trust me. We'll get out of this situation together. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. I'm sorry, I can't move fast to help and save you."

Abiyasa re-embraced Ajeng, giving him peace and comfort in this situation.

"What if he kills me?" ask a fear.

It seems Ajeng still feels that he is in a kidnapping situation. He looked around with fear as if the kidnappers were still around.

"Don't think like that, baby. We need to stay calm and try to cope with this situation. I will try my best to protect you. You can trust me."

Ajeng shivered in fear. "All right, Mas Abi. I-I, I'll try to calm down."

"That's great, honey. Take a deep breath, and let me calm you down. We're gonna get out of this situation, together. Here, I hug!"

Cup cup cup

Abiyasa hugged and kissed Ajeng's forehead, trying to channel a sense of comfort and safety, so that Ajeng felt protected by him.

Abiyasa thought that this situation required quick and decisive action to ensure Ajeng's safety and overcome the trauma he had experienced. He thought about asking for help from a mental health professional, helping Ajeng to recover from this trauma.

Finally Abiyasa invited Ajeng to seek treatment to a specialist and spikiater in order to reduce the sense of trauma. He tried to persuade Ajeng, to join him.

"Ajeng, I know you're still traumatized after yesterday's incident. I want to help you reduce your fear and anxiety by taking you to a specialist and a psychiatrist. Want, huh?" Abiyasa tried asking in a low and gentle voice.

"No. I don't want to, Mas Abi. I don't want to go to the doctor. I've been pretty scared and hurt after yesterday's incident. I don't want to be touched by anyone else."

Abiyasa closed his eyes, hearing the answer given by Ajeng. He knew that Ajeng was afraid to meet other people he did not know.

"Understand me, Ajeng. But your health is very important, and we need to do everything we can to help you recover from this trauma. Specialists and psychiatrists can provide you with the help and care you need to relieve trauma symptoms and prevent more serious problems in the future."

Abiyasa tried to explain slowly, so Ajeng wanted to come with him to go to a specialist.

"Ta-pi, but what if they can't help me? What if I feel worse after going there? What if they're bad people?"

"We will never know certainty without trying it. And doctors aren't bad people. I will be with you every step of the way, and will accompany you to the doctor to provide support and ensure that you feel comfortable. We'll find a solution together."

"All right, Mas Abi. I-I, Ajeng will try to go to the doctor, but only if you accompany me."

Abiyasa smiled and heard the answer given by his wife. "Of course, Ajeng. I will always be there for you. We're gonna get through this together."

After that, Abiyasa re-hugged Ajeng to give him comfort.

But unexpectedly, Abiyasa saw Ajeng's future when he touched his hand. He sees how Ajeng who attempted to commit suicide due to depression after this incident and lost his mother who drank the poison accidentally how many days ago, because he wanted to poison Abiyasa. Ajeng feels guilty for what happened to his mother, who always wanted to harm Abiyasa.

When Abiyasa wanted to make sure his real vision was in, he touched Ajeng's hand again. But the vision remains the same. He felt as if he could see Ajeng's future. He saw how Ajeng was battling depression after a traumatic event he had just experienced. Abiyasa also saw how Ajeng felt guilty for the death of his mother who wanted to harm Abiyasa by poisoning him.

Abiyasa felt very concerned and worried about Ajeng's future which might get worse. He wants to do everything he can to help Ajeng overcome the guilt and trauma he experienced. Abiyasa promised to always support Ajeng and help him in the healing process. He also plans to seek professional help from experienced psychologists and therapists to help Ajeng overcome his mental problems.

Abiyasa felt sad and disappointed that Ajeng had to go through all this. However, he remains determined to always be a supporter of Ajeng, and will do whatever he can to help Ajeng rise from the fear and trauma he is experiencing.

***

After Abiyasa sees Ajeng's future and realizes that Ajeng is struggling with deep depression and trauma, Abiyasa feels responsible for helping Ajeng so that he does not commit acts that endanger himself such as suicide.

Abiyasa immediately took action by seeking help from experts such as psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists to help Ajeng overcome his mental problems. He also confirmed that Ajeng received the necessary medical care to help him recover from his trauma.

In addition, Abiyasa is always there for Ajeng, supporting and accompanying him in every step he takes. He made sure Ajeng felt heard, understood and loved. Abiyasa tries to give enough time and attention to Ajeng and shows that he is always there for Ajeng, both in happiness and sadness.

Abiyasa also spoke openly with Ajeng about the problem at hand, providing support and ensuring that Ajeng felt heard and appreciated. Abiyasa tries to help Ajeng solve problems and motivate Ajeng to rise from the fear and trauma that is being experienced.

"Honey, I know that what happened to us makes you feel so depressed. But, I want you to know that you are not alone and there I am always there for you." Abiyasa asserted by staring fully at Ajeng.

"My-I'm scared, Mas Abi. I'm afraid of the doctor and I can't recover." The teacher said nervously.

Abiyasa cupped both sides of Ajeng's face with both hands. "Don't be afraid, baby. This specialist doctor and psychiatrist I found can help us deal with this problem together. I'm sure they'll help us feel better."

"Ta-pi, I feel guilty. I-I always felt like this was all my fault and I didn't know how to handle it." Ajeng was still overwhelmed with guilt.

Abiyasa. "Darling, you are innocent. You didn't know that the juice your mama put in the glass was poisonous. And you have no intention of harming anyone. Don't be too heavy to bear this burden alone."

He sobbed, recalling the incident. "Hikss hiks... Ta-pi, but what about mama, Mas Abi? He died from the poison that my mother drank herself. Is this also Ajeng's fault? Is this because Ajeng does not want to obey the wishes of mama?"

Ajeng's guilt at feeling that what his mother did, was all because she did not comply with the wishes of her mother who wanted her to part with Abiyasa then chose Alex.

"Mama Endang left because of something beyond our control, baby. We can't change the past, but we can make good decisions for the future. Will you come with me to the doctor and we'll get some help with this? I must be with you."

"God, Mas Abi. I-I, I'll try to fight fear and come with you to the doctor."

Abiyasa smiled happily at the answer given by Ajeng.

"It's good, baby. I've always supported you and we'll get through this together."

With the help of experts and support from Abiyasa, Ajeng expected to be stronger and able to overcome the mental problems he experienced. Abiyasa continues to struggle to help Ajeng recuperate and guide him towards a better future together with her.
