Toxic In-Law Shackles

Chapter 4

Now Bella stands while bowing her head while listening to a long lecture from her big boss. "You're late again Bella. Why has your performance recently declined, especially discipline, and where has your consistency been?"

"Sorry boss, I'll try even better." Reply Bella lirih.

"This is your last warning." Said the boss who gave a warning letter for the umpteenth time.

"Good boss? I'm sorry." Bella came out of her boss room with a slightly relieved feeling staring at the warning letter she was holding.

"Lucky just the warning letter the boss gave me. I hope after this there won't be any more trouble at home, I'm sure everything will be fine." Bella said softly and returned to her workplace.

After a full day of work, Bella. Now was the time to go home, he walked out of the office where he worked with a restless heart.

"What's wrong with me? why do I suddenly feel bad. I hope everything's okay." Bella stepped straight into the parking lot.

The feeling of anxiety and anxiety was increasingly Bella felt at this time. His heart said something was going to happen but Bella kept trying to calm down.

After traveling for twenty minutes, Bella arrived at the courtyard of her house. But his feet seemed hesitant to step into his own home.

"What's the matter with me? why am I so scared. My heart doesn't feel good."

Now Bella's anxiety seemed to have an answer when she saw her husband and mother-in-law standing at the door. "Will there be another fight today. I'm really tired and want to get some rest, but it seems like it's just my wish." Mumbled Bella who is now starting to walk closer to Maya's mother and her husband.

"Assalamualaikum, are you home? have you eaten yet?" Bella asked, who now kissed the back of her husband's hand.

"Bella I want to talk to you about something important."

"Mas, I beg you today I'm so tired." Bella already knows where the conversation will go.

"Is this about mom again? why every day you always make trouble, what is it. What is my fault that my mother hates me this deep, when I know that she was a kind and gentle person towards me. " Bella's inner self continues to monologue.

There were so many questions in his mind right now, but they all seemed to have no definite answers.

"That's your wife Abi, she's well-educated but she has no manners at all. I don't know how her parents taught!" Maya's mother begins to ignite the flames of anger that are almost extinguished in her son.

"Mother! why do you always bring my parents in everything..! they never wrongly educated me mom. They're very kind and wise people." Bella slightly raised her voice she really did not accept if her mother-in-law denigrated her parents.

Plakkkp...

One hard slap was now getting perfect on Bella's face which instantly made her feel very dizzy.

"How many times have I warned you but why do you still raise your voice to my mother!" Abimna who now gripped his wife's cheek very roughly.

But Bella just kept silent not to answer her husband's words. The pain in the cheek from the slap Abimana gave me was nothing like the pain she had in her heart right now.

There were too many wounds that Abimana had inflicted on her heart, a sense of disappointment that seemed to be a daily meal for Bella. Bella was very disappointed with the attitude of Abimana who always sided with her mother.

"Wait for me big ma, I'll take mama away as far as possible from papa and grandma so they don't do evil to you." Zayn cried and returned to his room before his mother saw him and made him even sadder.

"Thank you, you always wake me up in everything." Bella smiled and went inside her house and went straight into her son's room.

"Bella wait!"

"Let him think about all his mistakes. Let's eat better, I've cooked your favorite food." Take Maya's mother with a smile.

There was not the slightest bit of guilt on his twilight face at the moment, even he felt like nothing had happened.

While Abiman looked at his palms that were still reddened, he felt very guilty for slapping his wife. "I'm sorry I can't keep my emotions." Gumam Abimana.

"Let's hurry!" Shouted Maya's mother again calling her son.

"Yes ma'am." Abhimana also began to approach the mother who is now sitting waiting for her at the dining table.

Now Bella's days are running as usual, pain and disappointment as if she had become her best friend at this time.

All Bella did was shut up and keep praying that she could keep her heart up. Bella tries to face her life with a smile.

All Bella thinks about right now is her son's future, he struggles and survives in that house just for the sake of his son.

Bella stroked her son's hair gently and affectionately. "I hope Zayn never sees Abi's abusive treatment of me, it will be very harmful to his psychology and growth." Bella gave a rough sigh and walked towards the mirror after enveloping her son.

Bella stared at her reflection in the mirror, still clearly visible traces of Abimana slap on her face. Slowly Bella rubbed her cheek gently.

Not felt now his tears just escaped, the cry that he had been holding back from now broke instantly.

"Why would Abi have me? why did he believe only in his mother? why does he always corner me in every way. I really don't understand where the Abi that I knew. Now he's changed! I was so disappointed in him, really!" Bella cried out all her heart.

Without realizing it since then Zayn his son also cried without a sound, wanted to hug Zayn and approached the mother, but he paled because he did not want if his mother was saddened to see him cry.

Long Bella cried out all the feelings in her heart until she began to fall asleep by herself. After no more hearing the sound of the mother's cry, Zayn now woke up and saw the mother had fallen asleep next to her bed.

His small body does not allow to lift move the body of his mother, but he can still do other things that can make his mother sleep comfortable.

Zayn shook the blanket on the floor and put his mother's head slowly, so that the mother did not feel disturbed. now he covered her and fell asleep beside the mother.

"Wait for a big adult Zayn ma, Zayn will definitely take mama away from this house. Zayn promised to make you as happy as ever." The little hand wiped the tears of the mother who had almost dried up.

Seriate..
