Not the Dumpster-in-law
The Feelings That Should

"I have to control myself. It's just a normal sense of awe, isn't it? Don't let my feelings interfere with our professional relationship."

This situation happened inside the hotel room after Miss Anna parted ways with Abiyasa. He felt fascinated by the figure of Abiyasa who is still single and interesting, although they have only met several times in the context of work. This awe made Miss Anna feel ashamed of her own feelings. He nodded a few times, trying to dispel the different feelings in his heart.

"But what if Abiyasa also feels the same way? What am I supposed to do? I don't want to ruin our chances of cooperation."

Miss Anna again muttered to herself, feeling a different taste in her heart that suddenly appeared without any excuse.

"Alright, it's just a temporary feeling. I need to stay focused on work and separate personal feelings and professional relationships."

In this situation, Miss Anna is trying to face and cope with her own feelings. He realized that maintaining a professional attitude and separating personal feelings were paramount in their relationship as business partners. Despite the admiration, Miss Anna tries to set her aside in order to maintain a good chance of cooperation with Abiyasa.

"Have it, don't think too deeply. I have to forget this feeling and keep a professional attitude in front of Abiyasa. That's best for both of us."

Miss Anna tried to ignore her own feelings so as not to affect her business cooperation.

In her apartment, Abiyasa also daydreams of herself. He imagined what he was doing with Miss Anna last night at dinner. He shook his head quickly because he felt that he was getting carried away. He is still sure if his heart can not be separated from his late wife who has just died, namely Ajeng.

"What am I doing? I still feel guilty for feeling the excitement and interest of being with Miss Anna. It's too fast. Huhff..."

"I must remind myself that my heart is still tied to my wife who has gone. I'm not ready to open up to new feelings."

This situation happened in Abiyasa's apartment after he came home from driving Miss Anna to the hotel. Abiyasa sat alone in silence, pondering the feelings and thoughts that arose after the time they spent together. He imagined the moment they had gone through at dinner last night, but he quickly shook his head as he felt carried away and regretted his current feelings.

Abiyasa felt a mixture of joy and guilt. In his heart, he still felt bound by the loss of his late wife who had just died. Despite the interest and comfort she felt while with Miss Anna, she realized that her heart was not yet fully ready to open up to new feelings.

"Miss Anna is an attractive and pleasant woman, but I have to separate between our friendship and our deeper feelings."

"Maybe it's just loneliness that got me carried away. I don't want to hurt Miss Anna or ruin our working relationship because of my unclear feelings."

In this situation, Abiyasa realizes that his feelings are still tied to his dead wife. He tried to keep an emotional distance and not allow himself to get too carried away with Miss Anna.

Abiyasa prioritizes the process of self-healing and pays tribute to the past relationships he has had. She understands that the right time to open up to new feelings has not yet arrived, and she wants to keep her relationship with Miss Anna as a good and professional co-worker.

"I must remain focused on the process of self-healing and respect my wife's memory. The time is not yet right to get involved in a new relationship. Huhhh..."

Abiyasa quits her daydreams and mutters about Miss Anna. He will go to rest, so that tomorrow he will wake up with a clear mind.

But just as Abiyasa was about to move from his seat, Abiyasa got word from Indra if Aji tried to escape. Fortunately, this has now been caught and now the situation is very concerning.

Abiyasa receives a phone call from Indra, who gives the news.

..."Mas Abiyasa, I have bad news. Aji tried to escape our custody, but he was caught. Unfortunately, the situation is very concerning."...

..."Whahuh? How could he do that? Where is he now?"...

..."He is currently still in the headquarters with strict guard. We have taken action to ensure his safety, but his condition is not good. The doctor is checking it." ...

..."Goddamnit! Sis Aji will never stop causing trouble. I'll be at headquarters soon. Make sure he gets the necessary treatment." ...

..."Sure, Mrs Abi. We have been keeping the situation tight. I'll wait for your arrival here."...

..."Thank you, Indra. I am very concerned about Aji's situation. We have to make sure that he gets the treatment he deserves, even though he's my brother who's always been mean."...

..."I understand, mas Abi. We will treat Aji with professionalism, but also ensure his safety and guard." ...

..."Alright. I'll be leaving soon. Make sure everything stays under control at the base."...

..."I will do my best, Abi. I'm waiting for his arrival, Mas Abi."...

Abiyasa is worried about Aji's apprehensive condition after his escape attempt. Abiyasa responded with mixed emotions, feeling annoyed and concerned at the same time. She insists on Indra giving Aji proper treatment, even though Aji has been behaving badly to her all along.

Fortunately Indra assures Abiyasa, that the situation at the headquarters is under control and they will treat Aji with professionalism. Abiyasa reveals his intention to immediately go to the headquarters and meet with Aji.

While receiving a report from Indra about Aji trying to escape and her appalling circumstances, Abiyasa experiences a variety of feelings and emotional conflicts in her heart.

"May you be well, brother."

Abiyasa is worried and also concerned about Aji's condition, because after all Aji is her biological brother. He still has a sense of duty and concern for his brother who is in a state of difficulty and is not okay.

But Abiyasa also feels annoyed and frustrated at Aji's actions trying to escape. Aji has always been a source of trouble in Abiyasa's life and his misbehavior has caused a lot of hardship to their family. Abiyasa's resentment and disapproval and disappointment towards her brother's evil actions to her all this time.

"But why are you causing trouble? What do you really want under these circumstances?"

In Abiyasa's heart, there is an emotional conflict between feelings of concern and resentment towards Aji. His feelings are mixed and confused.

"Arghhh... You are br3ngs3k, brother Aji!"

But even though Abiyasa is upset with Aji, she also feels bound by their family ties. Abiyasa tries to fulfill her responsibilities as a sibling and make sure Aji gets the proper treatment, though she is also aware of the need to protect others from Aji's actions.
