The Mistaken Son-in-law

CHAPTER 35

Pov (Ryan)

My name is Ryan I am thirty years old now, I am married to a beautiful woman named Isabella and we are blessed with a beautiful and smart daughter named Almaira Winata

From childhood I received less attention from both parents because they were busy with their respective affairs, I was only accompanied by my nanny. Although they rarely have time for me, they treat me well.

I have a little brother and a little sister. I love them both very much, especially my brother - my sister named Arya because we are the same - just as not getting the attention of people know especially mother. Although my mother was less attentive to me but she was still kind to me while to Arya, my attitude seemed indifferent and cynical. I don't know why mom was like that to him. Thank goodness I love him so much.

After college, after, I chose to open my own business with my friend and our business grew rapidly over time but suddenly my friend chose to open his own business because he was not satisfied with the revenue sharing system that he thought was not fair, that is I got a sixty percent share while he was forty percent. Naturally I got more because the initial capital is all from me, even if he wants to protest why not from the beginning of this business is built not after growing rapidly.

Our efforts eventually became all mine, although at first he did not accept but he was forced to give up and swear that he would have a more successful business than me. I don't care about the talk, the important thing is that this business has become mine, of course, my income is more because the income is not divided anymore.

After I felt quite established, I also proposed to my beloved girl who is an employee of my shop. Yes I lied to both my parents that Bella was a rich kid but her parents died in an accident. I deliberately lied to my mother to bless our relationship because I knew she wouldn't agree to know that my candidate was just a poor orphan girl.

Finally we were married with great fanfare, Arya was not present because at that time she was out of town. After marriage, we moved to the house that I had prepared for me and Bella, because Bella did not want to live with my parents because she wanted to be independent. I also fulfilled her wish because of my great love for her.

After a few months of marriage, Bell became pregnant. My parents are so happy, especially my mother, she loves Bella very much.

I often give money to my mother using the name Bella so that she loves my wife more and more. I want her to be the perfect daughter-in-law in my family's eyes. Our happiness grew even more after the birth of Maira, she became a favorite granddaughter.

Since I got married I rarely met my sister Arya, until I heard she wanted to propose her heart which came from the opposite island. Mother was against her wishes because in addition to tribal differences, also because the woman was from the village and was orphaned. I became worried that I knew the origin of Bella who is not much different from the candidate Arya.

Forced only the father who accompanied Arya to propose to her idol. Mother refused to come along on the grounds that my sister Rani was testing, pity if left alone. While I can't come along because there is a job I can't leave, anyways it's just a proposal.

But it turns out that the father told her that Arya's proposal was accepted and the marriage would be held within a week. I can't be there, neither can my mother.

Two weeks later Arya came home with a woman, me and my little family came to my parents' house to greet them.

The woman named Aisyah looks very simple from her appearance, but for a village girl she is very beautiful without any makeup polish and her skin is pure white, unlike my wife who is supported by expensive treatment. But Bella looks the other way when she sees Arya, probably because they just met. We all welcomed the newlyweds, but not the mother who seemed forced to accept her new daughter-in-law. So does my sister Rani who looks cynical.

Time passed, until I heard that Arya experienced PHK and at that time Dad came home. Mother said, I was shocked to hear Arya in PHK because Arya was her favorite child. We all feel very lost especially Arya who is very close to dad.

I had offered Arya a job but she refused subtly. A few months after my father's departure, I advised my mother to take Arya and her wife to live with him. Let me have someone to accompany and Arya does not need to pay the rent because she also has not worked. My mother also agreed to my advice.

Long story short they have lived in the mother's house for a year, I often listen to mother's complaints about Arya's wife who is lazy and wasteful especially she has not been pregnant. I didn't respond too much to mother's complaints because I didn't live with them but in my opinion, every visit to mother's house, Aisyah always looked diligent and served us well. My wife and daughter are close to him.

It turns out that only how many months moved from the mother's house, their fortune actually flowed from Arya who returned to being a manager at her former workplace company until the business they lived was increasingly in demand. And I heard they have a production place to produce snacks and beauty scrubs.

I was initially happy with their success but somehow there was envy in my heart because Arya was more successful, while my efforts were down. I was forced to stop giving money to my mother because of my financial condition like never before. Mother's son is not just me, there is still Arya who is now successful. Let it be now her turn to bear the needs of mother and Rani.

"Dad let's walk again". Rengek Maira resuscitated my reverie.

"Let's go, baby, daddy's got a lot of work to do". Soft words.

"But I promise - promise keeps like that, I never thought I'd be this". Whining again.

"Berisikkkk, if you say yes later". My atonement. Maira started crying and ran to her room. Because all this time I've never been rude to her.

I'm the one with a lot of thoughts subconsciously snapping at him. Ever since my efforts went down, my emotions have become unstable. I became tempramental. My relationship with Bella also became disharmonious again. We often argue about what else if not about money.

"Why are you snapping Maira like that? Pity him to cry. What's wrong with you following his will?". Bella came to scold me.

"Please understand our current situation, you should have the same understanding. You also please stop your spending habits first, our finances are not like before, my efforts are down again. I have a lot of thoughts too". My answer is upset

"He was still a child. That's why you work right, or you ask for an injection of funds from your sister. He has been successful, not to mention his efforts are progressing. When he won't help us". Read Bella

"I don't want to, I'm ashamed to ask her for help". My words disagree with his idea however I don't want to look pathetic on my sister.

"Any prestige yes you think, is your prestige that can make us full? When do we want our condition to be like this? I'm dizzy not being able to shop, care and walk, not to mention your mother whose matre did not stop contact me for money". Bella said.

"So what you say Bella, what you call matre is the woman who gave birth to me". My hardikku.

"Don't talk to me loud. I'm like this because you can't follow my will just yet". He then went into Maira's room.

I squeezed my hair rough. Ever since I tried to go down, Bella's attitude started to change. He who had previously been gentle, now often fought me. He never served me well either. Was I wrong all this time pampering him with treasures?.

I don't know what makes my business like this, suddenly it becomes quiet. It took my mind to ask my sister for help but I was ashamed.

Seriate.
