Toxic In-Law Shackles

Chapter 8

More and more injuries that Bella felt in her heart, until finally she began to think of leaving the house full of curses.

He wants to rise up and run from the pain and adversity that increasingly shackles his heart and mind. "I have to change everything, I can't keep going like this and I don't want my son to get any negative impact from the ego of my husband and in-laws." Bella said with a burning spirit.

But Bella is not doing what she wants. Bella no longer has anything, her savings are drained to meet the needs of her daily life. Because until now Maya's mother is in control of the house's finances, while Abimana only obeys all orders and requests of her mother.

Bella will wait until the time comes, because she does not want to leave the house without taking her son. For Bella, Zayn is her treasure and half her soul Bella does not want to make her son's life suffer by taking him away without having the slightest money.

"I'm tired of following your heart's wishes, I'm not a puppet you can play as you please. I'm just an ordinary person I also have a limit of patience in my heart, I can't hold everything myself mas." Bella lamented her own grief now she felt there was no more focus to stay in the house.

The house that used to be like heaven for Bella is now turned into a hell that locked her in the wounds and bitterness of her life.

It was getting late and now Bella went into her son's room to hug her son who had fallen asleep tightly. "I'm sorry dear mama if someday we mama have to take you away from your papa." Bella kissed the top of her son's head with affection.

There is no longer any hope for Bella to be able to melt the hard heart of her mother-in-law and also her husband who is now turning cold to her. Whatever Bella does now is for her son only, for Zayn Bella is able to survive through all the obstacles and trials that hit her life.

"I must immediately find a good job so that I can quickly leave this house without worry." Although it is very late now Bella began to prepare everything to apply for a job tomorrow. His intention to leave the house was already round just waiting for the right time to take his son away.

"Just wait for Bella, all these wounds will be over soon." Bella's murmured strengthened herself.

After finishing his work, he began to lay down his tired body and prepare to welcome tomorrow.

In Abimana's room awaits the coming of his wife. "Mkc... He must be mad and sleeping in Zayn's room again." Abimana snorted in annoyance and covered her face with a pillow.

"Have this afternoon is your wife still sleeping Abi?" Ask Maya's mother to her son who already looks fresh and ready to go to work.

"Let it be mom, maybe she's tired." Jawan Abimana who did not want to open his morning with a fight.

"You are, so the husband is weak. You should have told your wife not to be lazy, to be nimble!" Cerocos Maya's mother disagrees with her son's words.

"Where should I be, ma'am?" Abimana asked with a confused face.

"Yes you teach dong how a devoted wife to her husband. Don't expect her to go to high school and live in the city until she forgets the ways of being a wife. That's why you didn't agree that you were married to a girl from the city, their life was too free Abi." Maya's mother began her morning lecture session.

Bella, who heard the words her mother-in-law said just kept quiet and listened behind the door, her heart felt very sad and hurt but she tried her hardest not to cry.

"Am I still lacking to be what you want me to be? what's the matter if I come from the city, even during this time I can still obey all the wishes of mother, has not enough of my sacrifice so far? I sacrificed everything. I've been trying but why my efforts have never been seen in your eyes." Bella's inner voice screamed once she had all those words, but they were all very difficult for Bella and she only said them in her heart.

"Ma, what's your mama doing here?" asked Zayn who was now looking at his mother's slightly pale face.

Bella smilingly stroked her son's hair gently. "It's okay, son, I'm waiting for Zayn, is Zayn ready?"

"It's ma'am," Zayn exclaimed with a spirit of guiding his mother.

"Slow down, son." Bella smiled at the increasingly adorable behavior of her son in Bella's eyes.

"Let me drive Zayn." Said Abimana who now carries her son.

"No need to go to the market, so I'll deliver it." Bella was a little nervous, she could not get out of the house freely if not with her son.

"I'll take you along too." Abhimana replied that now passed away leaving Bella still standing in her place.

"But mas, tumben once mas Abi want to deliver me usually." Mumbled Bella softly now she began to glance at her mother-in-law who looked at her with hatred.

"Bella's mom goes first." Pamit Bella is very polite.

"Yes, remember! shop as needed, don't waste you know now only my son works." Mom Maya said with her cynical face.

"Yes ma'am Bella will try to save money."

Now Maya's mother extends her hand to the daughter-in-law to show off the new ring her son bought. But Bella only kissed the hands of her mother-in-law did not pay attention to the movements of Maya's mother at this time.

"Bella leaves, ma'am, assalamualaikum." Said Bella who is now waltzing away leaving Maya's mother who looks upset.

Not that Bella did not know what her mother-in-law meant, but she deliberately closed her eyes to keep her heart and mind from envy and spite.

On the way there was no chatter between the couple. Both Bella and Abimana were swept away in their minds.

After a long silence now Bella began to glance at her husband who was focusing on driving. Bella is eager to ask but hesitates, fearing that her husband will be angry with her especially when Zayn is still there.

"I'd better talk to Mas Abi after I'm done taking Zayn to school." Inner Bella muttered.
