Not the Dumpster-in-law
Considerations

When Rian gets a visit from his lawyer, he feels a jumble between disappointment and pleasure. He was happy that someone had finally visited him and brought news of his case, but on the other hand, he was also disappointed that it was not Aji or Elok who had come. Rian who was standing by his bedside, looked at his lawyer with a sharp and anxious look.

"Good day, Mr. Rian," said the lawyer, opening his bag and taking out files that looked thick enough. "I'm sorry I just got here now."

"It's been a long time since I've been waiting for news from the outside" Rian said in a weak-sounding tone. "I think the one who came was Aji or Elok. How are they doing?"

Rian, who receives a visit from his lawyer, then tells Rian that his case can still be appealed to a higher court. Rian was relieved to hear the news, at least he had hope of getting out of prison sooner. However, at the same time Rian also felt disappointed because he did not get news from Elok.

Rian asks his lawyer about Elok and expresses his anxiety. His lawyer could not give any definitive information about Elok's whereabouts, but he gave Rian advice not to be too dependent on others. His lawyer said that Rian must learn to be independent and think about his own future, without having to rely on someone.

"Sorry, Mr. Rian. I don't know how they are" the lawyer replied, opening one of the files. "But I bring good news regarding your case. We appeal the court's verdict and we will fight our hardest to win the case."

Hearing the advice, Rian felt slapped. He realized that all this time he had been too dependent on Elok and ignored his own circumstances. Rian came to the conclusion that he had to change and learn to be independent.

"Thank you for the advice, sir," said Rian.

"At the end of the day, your happiness and future are your own responsibility" the lawyer replied.

Rian felt sober from daydreams and decided to follow his lawyer's advice. He will think about his own future and not be too dependent on others. He took the decision to focus on his case and tried to appeal the court ruling.

Hearing the news, Rian felt a little relieved. At least there is good news about the case. He became interested in his lawyer's talks and wanted to find out more about the appeal.

"What's the prospect, sir?" ask Rian. "Is there any hope of winning?"

"We believe there was an error in the court's previous ruling" the lawyer replied. "We have prepared a strong argument and we are confident we can win the case. But, of course, it won't be easy. We must strengthen the evidence and gather new witnesses to strengthen our argument."

Rian was relieved to hear this. He did not lose hope and began to feel a little calmer. Later, he began to ask more questions about the appeals process and various other matters related to his case.

"I'm very grateful for your hard work" Rian told his lawyers after their long conversation. "I hope you can win this case."

The conversation between Rian and his lawyer continued about the plan and strategy in filing the appeal. Rian felt calmer and was confident that he could get out of prison sooner.

"Sir Rian, I will fight my hardest to win this case" the lawyer replied. "You have to stay calm and trust us. We'll give you the best."

After the lawyer left the cell, Rian pondered and thought about his next plan. He is still curious and wants to know what happened outside the prison and wants to know the news from Aji or Elok. He began to think about trying to get help from the warden or other prisoners to get in touch with them. But he knew it wasn't easy.

Rian hopes to get out of prison and take revenge on Abiyasa. "Look at me, Abi! I'm not just gonna take you off."

Rian did not know that Elok had gone abroad to avoid him. Rian still thinks that Elok is getting into trouble without him.

"What happened to her? Why did he never come?"

Rian continued to ponder about Elok. He felt confused, why Elok could just disappear and not give any news at all. Rian felt that it was impossible for Elok to just leave him without giving a clear reason. He tries to recall the last moment they met.

At that moment, Rian felt his relationship with Elok was getting closer. They spend time together and talk about their future plans. However, Rian felt that something was amiss when Elok did not respond to his messages. Rian tries to find out about Elok's state, but none of his friends can provide any information.

"Huhhhh! Watch out for you, Elok! I'll never let go of you once this is all over."

Rian felt extremely anxious and was feeling uneasy about this situation. He thought that Elok might have a problem or even have an accident. However, when he asked this to people known to Elok, everyone did not know at all about the existence of Elok. Rian felt very upset and angry, he felt Elok had left him just like that and made him feel like an insignificant person.

Elsewhere, Aji himself is already in the hands of Abiyasa and Indra. He could do nothing more, due to his weak state. Everything is his own fault that has done evil to his sister, Abiyasa. Not just now, but ever since they were kids. Aji, who had always been jealous of Abiyasa, now could not be proud of what was usually done to harm Abiyasa. He could only quietly listen to what Abiyasa had said to him.

"What are you thinking, Aji?" abiyasa asked as she stared intently at Aji.

Aji just kept quiet and lowered her head. He was ashamed of all his actions and did not know what to say.

After successfully bringing Aji home, Abiyasa and Indra immediately bring Aji to a special room that has been prepared by Indra. They told Indra's men to observe the situation around the house. Abiyasa then sat down in front of Aji who was still lying weakly on the floor.

"No need to be quiet. Are you proud of all you've done?" asked Abiyasa in a firm tone.

Aji was silent. He knows that everything he does is a mistake and he must take responsibility for his actions. And he was ready to endure it all, because he did not feel the slightest regret.

Abiyasa continued, "You will not be able to escape your punishment, Aji. You have to accept the consequences of what you've done."

Indra who was standing beside Abiyasa nodded in agreement. "That's fine, Mrs Abi. Mr. Aji must face his sentence."

Aji finally spoke up, "I know all my mistakes. I can't escape the punishment I have to accept. I am ready to accept the consequences of my actions. But I never felt sorry, hahaha..."

Aji's laughter filled the entire room. Whether it was the happy laughter, joy or regret that was in Aji's heart.

Abiyasa and Indra can only smile with satisfaction at the words and laughter of Aji who finally realizes his mistake. They knew that Aji should have confessed his mistake and received the punishment he deserved. Unfortunately, Aji never regretted it.

"I think that's enough for today. Just let Aji rest first. Tomorrow we will talk about the next step" Abiyasa said as he got up from his seat.

Indra nodded in agreement and helped Abiyasa bring Aji to the seat that had been prepared for her, which was the seat that had no backrest.

"Cuihhhhhhh! I don't care."

Aji could still be rude and spit on Abiyasa's face. Making Abiyasa emotional.

Bug bug

Twice the punch was enough to make Aji grimace withstanding the pain. And Abiyasa breezed away before his emotions got bigger.

After checking the condition of Aji who was sitting without being able to do anything, Indra returned to the living room following Abiyasa.

"We have to consider carefully what we have to do next" said Indra.

Abiyasa nodded in agreement, "We have to make sure that Aji can't run away or hurt others anymore. We have to solve this problem completely."

Indra looked at Abiyasa with appreciation, "I am ready to help, Mr. Abiyasa. We have to solve this problem the right way."

Abiyasa smiled, "I know I can count on you, Indra."

The two of them then sat down together and discussed their plans to settle the matter with Aji completely. They are aware that their actions will have a major impact on the lives of Aji and the people around him. Therefore, they should carefully consider all possibilities before taking any decisive action.
