Toxic In-Law Shackles

Chapter 23

"Mother! I'm sober, thank goodness." Abhimana began to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother had opened her eyes.

"Mother where is Bella, why is a mother like this alone at home are you fighting again?" Abimana asked who was immediately answered by the blink of an eye by her mother.

Abimana sighed harshly when she got her mother's answer. "Why can mom and Bella never get along? what keeps you fighting?"

"The wrong mother Abi, the selfish mother. Maybe this is the payoff for mother's selfishness." Maya's mother tried to tell her son but his voice stuck in his throat and he could not get out. Even now his hands could not move but his eyes were flashing to give an answer to his son's question.

"Where did Bella go?" Abimana murmured softly but can still be heard by Maya's mother.

Now Maya's mother felt very guilty when she saw her son's sadness but regret was too late, all has happened her child's household has been destroyed because of her actions and at this time Maya's mother can not do anything but cry and regret everything.

Maya's mother wants her son to find Bella and her granddaughter and bring her back home. But he could not because his heart could not be heard by Abimana.

"Does mom need anything?" Abimana asked when she saw her mother trying to tell her something.

"Mother don't push yourself, I need to rest, I need to find Zayn and Bella." Abimana said that immediately made Maya's mother a little calm to hear her.

"Thank God Abi, you can understand what I'm expecting right now." Inner mother Maya.

Abhimana began to cover her entire body and began to think about where to look for Bella.

Elsewhere, Bella is still struggling with her work until late at night. Bella has now focused on the career she is pursuing for her son's future.

"Bell, you haven't come home yet?" Tanya Bagas who is now starting to approach Bella who is still focused with her laptop screen.

"In a moment, boss, it's almost done." Replied Bella who glanced at Bagas.

"A really great design!" exclamation Bagas who now continues to stare at the image that is still in the process of Bella's work.

"It's just eighty percent boss why are you saying it's amazing? do you want to make me happy for a while?" Bella smiled and shook her head and returned to the laptop screen again.

While Bagas smiled clumsily and scratched his nape that did not itch. Now the view of Bagas was fixed on Bella who looked more beautiful every day.

"Why is the charm of a man's wife more seductive than that of a girl?" tanya Bagas monologue.

Bagas sighed slowly thinking about what if Bella knew her heart. Yes actually Bagas has put his heart on Bella since the time of college, but Bagas did not dare to express his feelings to Bella, but, because at that time he did not have anything until he chose to continue his studies abroad and continue his family business.

But when he returned with a very good career and ready to propose the idol, but it was too late Bella was married and had a son.

Bagas must forget his love for Bella. But like a fresh wind that blows, the rumor of Bella's household relationship that is not okay was heard until Bagas ears. Making Bagas think there is still a gap for him to have the idol.

But Bagas began to feel very dilemma when he saw there was no reaction from Bella.

"Is it done? it's so late we better go home now. I'll take you all the way to the house, if need be, get inside too." Take Bagas with a bit of his crisp joke.

"You are, let me finish Zayn must be waiting for me." Bella takes care of her things and prepares to go home.

At this time Bella does not want anyone to think about things that are not-no and drag Bagas into his unfinished household problems.

"I'm sorry, I don't want people to think of anything that's not-not here." Bella lirih.

"Don't apologize to me, you're not Bella's fault." Bagas felt very ashamed of his current actions.

Now Bagas along with Bella in the car is the same as each other's minds. None of them started the conversation until Bagas started asking something that had been a question in his life.

"Bella can I ask you something?".

"What do you want to talk about?" Bella answered nervously.

"Where is your relationship with your husband?" Bagas immediately asked the point.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Bella started staring at the man beside her.

"I just,"

"Here you go, I don't want to talk about this right now." Bella cuts off the words of Bagas who now returns to focus on the quiet streets that he went through.

"When you keep all your sufferers alone, why don't you share them with me?" Bagas begins to convince Bella to tell him.

But Bella just kept quiet not saying anything to the bagas. Bella doesn't want to tell anyone her sad story.

"Let me know enough about what my heart is feeling right now." Bella answered with her face.

"It's up to you, but if you need my help to be a storyteller then come whenever you want, I'll always be there for you. " Say Bagas who now parked his car in front of Bella's house.

"Thank you, you are my best friend."Bella replied with a sweet smile.

"Hmmm..." Bagas smiled stiffly when he heard Bella only considered her nothing more than her best friend.

"Thank you Bagas you've been bothered to take me to the front of the house." Bella said with complete sincerity.

"No problem. " Answer to Bagas who is now leaving the place with a face full of his fake smile .

Bella stared at her best friend's car which was now getting away from her sight. But suddenly Bella remembered the figure of Abimana who is still legitimately became her husband.

"Yes god. Why do I have to feel this big dilemma in my life, problems seem to come and go to my life." Bella snorted angrily and began to step her feet into the simple house that became her most comfortable residence at this time.

Now he saw his sleeping son begin to fall asleep. Bella smiled and stroked her son's hair in love.

But now his activity is disrupted when he heard the knock on the door that continues to be heard several times.
