Rainbow At the End of Dusk
Chapter 52

Ilham walked over to the three-star hotel room he had booked in before. Her heart was not well after being subtly expelled by Tia from her in-laws' house.

Ilham sighed in despair as he dropped his body on the bed. Inspiration pinched the base of his nose, he felt dizzy thinking about where the fate of his marriage would be taken.

His tired body was not comparable to the fatigue his heart felt. He stared fixedly at the ceiling of the room, without him noticing a single clear circle escaped from the corner of his eye. Was this the consequence he had to bear for his stupidity? too heavy according to him.

After being satisfied with crying, he forced himself to rise to clean himself and perform Islamic prayers.

At times like this it will be more soothing to complain to the All-Knowing.

After he had finished doing his duty, Ilham crawled up onto the bed. He lay down his body there, because of the fatigue felt by his body and heart, it did not take long for dreamland to greet him.

The next morning Ilham woke up a little misfortune, lucky to still be able to pray at dawn even though it was close to syuruq time. After the prayer, she prayed for the good of her marriage to Tia.

"It seems I have to show some seriousness about what I said yesterday" murmured Ilham as he prepared to go to his in-laws' house.

Arriving in front of his home in-laws Ilham did not immediately knock on the door. his chest thumped staring at the door in front of him. Inspiration is afraid of rejection again like last night, although subtly but still painful.

"Why don't you knock on the door?" The voice of a young man made Ilham sting in shock then turned his head quickly to the source of the voice.

Men don't know themselves! early in the morning have been met, Inner Inspiration

Ilham looked at the young man of his age fiercely, his hunting breath holding back the furious turmoil in his heart that suddenly popped out seeing the existence of Dimas in front of him.

But not with Dimas, look at the young man smiling warmly towards Inspiration. Ilham squinted his eyes suspiciously, did he not regard Ilham as his rival? why is he so calm?

"Tok..but.tok..." Dimas knocked on the door ahead of Ilham who was still busy with negative thoughts on Dimas.

"Eh there's a Nak Dimas with Nak Ilham, come in Nak!" sahut Madam Nadia who came behind the two of them.

"Kok aunty know it's in the back?" shocked Dimas while chuckling.

"Out of the stall," Bu Nadia replied briefly as she led the way to enter the house.

Inspiration only silently looked at the familiarity of Dimas and his mother-in-law.

Ilham and Dimas followed Bu Nadia into the house and they sat on the living room sofa after being invited to sit by Madam Nadia.

"At first thing in the morning, there's no boss?" sindir Ilham without looking towards Dimas.

"You too, right?" ledek Dimas with a big smile.

Ilham grunted in annoyance.

"Come on, we're leaving!" take Tia who is suddenly between the two of them.

Ilham was fixated on looking at Tia who was neat with casual clothes but still sweet according to her age.

Mas's? who did Tia call Mas? inner inspiration.

"Come on!" sahut Dimas enthusiastically.

Hearing the words of Dimas, Ilham glanced back at the young man. Look at him with hate.

"Aaah don't let you go with that guy Tia" said Ilham to make Tia and Dimas stop their steps. But not long after, Tia continued her steps back.

Inspiration is increasingly furious made but can not do anything. He could only clench both palms beside his body.

"Aa will return to Bandung later in the afternoon," said Ilham slightly shouting.

Tia stopped her steps and turned around with a sweet smile, Ilham's heart warmed to see Tia's sweet smile. Unconsciously a wide swarm has been reviewed on the face of Inspiration. He was confident that Tia would undo his intention to go with Dimas.

"Be careful A." It was just that word that Tia spoke before turning around and actually leaving with Dimas.

At that instant the smile of Inspiration receded, his heart ached, his eyes heating up to see Tia's departure with Dimas.

Inspiration's breath hunted, his hands clenched and then a single fist he sank into the air to remove the sense that made his chest tight at the moment. But in fact, the feeling still does not want to disappear even more felt squeezed his chest.

After saying goodbye to his father-in-law, Ilham decided to return to the hotel. Ah, it felt like she was feeling desperate, it seemed like Tia was no longer willing to be with him anymore. At least he was forgiven.

Ilham is not passionate to buy souvenirs or just take a walk before he returns to Bandung, he prefers to sleep locked in a hotel room.

*********

Meanwhile in one of the souvenir shops in central java area.

"Are you sure you're gonna do this?" ask Dimas to Tia. Tia simply nodded while smiling faintly.

"Is this not too outrageous?" ask Dimas again. Tia just shook her head.

"Yes it's up" said Dimas resigned.

Tia merely gave a smile looking at Dimas's face which was pampered against his decision.

"Thank you for a few days, I've always wanted Tia wherever she goes" Tia said sincerely with a smile that expanded.

"Don't hesitate, Mas seneng can nemenin you Tia," replied Dimas sincerely with a thin smile.

"So, don't I have a chance?" tanya Dimas.

"I'm sorry, and thank you for everything" Tia said regretfully.

"Well, I'm heartbroken Dek" said Dimas slightly dramatizing his chest.

They both burst out happy laughter. After shopping, they decided to go home.

"I came home to Tia" said Dimas right at Tia's doorstep.

"Who? didn't you stop by first?" ask Tia.

"No, I'm afraid he won't go home" said Dimas, chuckling.

Tia chipped away pretending to be annoyed while making a smile.

"So, did you really not have a chance?" ask Dimas again to make sure.

"Mas..," Tia called out like a whimper, her eyes showing regret.

Pressed forward a few steps to slash her distance with Tia, she stretched out her hand and gently patted Tia's head and then gave a soft elucidate a few times.

"Even though Mas is heartbroken, but Mas prays for your happiness Dek," said Dimas softly.

"Mas must also be happy" Tia said sincerely. Dimas just nodded slowly while smiling.

************

Ilham walked out of the hotel lobby after checking out. Then he got into a taxi that had been booked by the hotel to take him to the airport.

The heart of Inspiration is still not okay. While waiting for departure, he just sat daydreaming in the waiting area while sighing heavily a few times.

Is this the end of her love story? Ah, it feels like a dream, getting married in quick time and parting ways in quick time.

Never mind, if it's over! inner Inspiration.

Inspiration walked into the plane. After confirming his seat, Ilham sat down lazily without noticing the person sitting next to him.

When the plane took off and caused a shock, Ilham felt his hand held by the person beside him. Inspiration just leaves it without looking. But the longer the grip of the hand was getting tighter until it made Ilham frown his forehead.

"Aa Tia was afraid," shrieked the person beside her, the voice of a girl.

Illam's chest thumped hearing a voice he was very familiar with. Slowly Ilham moved his head to turn towards the person beside his right, hoping that what he heard was not a hallucination.

When his head turned perfectly, his eyes were wide open, his tongue twisted and his throat suddenly dry. Inspiration swallowed his hard-earned salivation, was he really Tia, his wife?

"Ti-tia?" startled Inspiration.

The girl simply nodded while smiling broadly displaying a row of her white teeth.

"You-you?" Inspiration still could not believe what he saw was real.

"Yes, Tia wants to join Aa back to Bandung," said Tia with a smile that never faded to review her face.

Inspiration just silent sculpting does not give any response. Lord, if this is a dream please do not awaken Inspiration now.

Tia snorted annoyedly at the sight of Ilham who was still in disbelief. Tia threw down the hand of Inspiration that she had held since.

With one move Ilham grabbed Tia's tiny body and hugged her tightly. Inspiration on his wife's shoulders. Her joy and happiness were mixed into one in her heart.

Uh, but wait, there's something she needs to make sure of before she feels confident. He was afraid of being disappointed like yesterday.

Ilham unraveled his embrace and stared fixedly at Tia's brown bead.

"Sa-sayang, are you coming to Bandung un-for?" tanya Ilham stammered with a full glance. Her chest was pounding waiting for Tia's answer.

"Tia's sorry A, Tia left the house without a second thought." Tia paused her sentence. Inspiration was still quietly patiently waiting for Tia's next sentence.

"Can Tia go home again? does Aa still want to catch Tia?" tia asked with her head down.

Inspiration felt to get the wind of heaven hearing the sentence uttered by Tia.

Inspiration re-embraced Tia's body hugging her tighter than ever. Her tears broke, her tears pouring down.

Happy, yes Ilham happy Tia wants to take it back. Inspiration promised in his heart he would not waste any more Tia's existence in his life. One time he made a fool that he regretted.

Ilham broke his embrace and cupped Tia's face, looking at the girl in front of him with a loving look.

"He loves you, dear" said Ilham without hesitation.

"Tia also loves Aa," Tia said with a shy blush and blushing cheeks.

"Se-seriously?" ask Inspiration with sparkling eyes.

Tia nodded shyly.

Inspiration once again hugged Tia with anxiety, her heart blossomed hearing the word love from Tia.

The yellowing twilight bears witness to the unification of the love of two human children who have experienced the suffering of separation. Both dissolve with a feeling that makes his heart pound and flower simultaneously to the point of ignoring the surrounding environment.

"Ecchem..." Deheman's voice from the chair beside them spread the moment of his second day. Ilham and Tia unraveled their embrace and turned to the source of the voice.

It turned out that Deheman was from a middle-aged man who was folding his hands in front of his chest as well as a sharp gaze that emanated from the look of his eyes. Ilham and Tia threw eyes at each other.

"We're sorry sir." Finally Ilham apologized with a slight nod of his head towards the middle-aged man who was beside his left.

"Hmmm.." Just the murmur that the middle-aged man gave.

Inspiration justifies his sitting position facing forward, his hands never tired of grasping the hands of his cute wife. His smile never receded on his face.

"Dear, how come Aa can't stay at home?" tanya Ilham with a slightly sullen face.

"That night Tia was still sprained by Aa, when Tia left the house why did Aa not follow Tia? so Tia sebel the same Aa do not want to decet-decet," said Tia with a little forward.

"Sorry Honey, at that time Aa was sick until hospitalized, so it did not follow up directly to the village, when Aa recovered continued to follow to the village-eh, you even went to central Java," regret Ilham while looking down sad.

"I know."

"Well, how?"

"At first I don't know, but all of Mamah Karla calls and explains everything" Tia said, smiling faintly.

"Very bad, you have the heart of Aa sleeping alone in the hotel even though it is very awkward," whined Ilham while giving life to Tia anxious.

"So who's Dimas?" ask Inspiration in a loud voice.

"Just a friend" Tia replied lightly.

"Temen kok those decks, use go horseback again, where was it?" tanya Ilham was still in a tinge while holding his hand in front of his chest.

Tia chuckled amusedly at the jealousy of Ilham.

"Secret," replied Tia wanting to tease Ilham.

"Ish.. the evil!" suhut Ilham while exploring Tia's waist. Tia jumped here and there as if giggling amusedly.

"Ecchem..." The middle-aged man's Deheman sounded again, making the two jump back in shock, then stopped their activities that were still unconcerned with the surroundings.

"I'm sorry, sir," Sighed Tia while slightly nodding, then she glared in annoyance at Ilham.

"We will continue at home" whispered Ilham with a stifled smile.

Tia frowned in not understanding the meaning of Inspiration.

"We have to realize the project to make a baby" whispered Ilham again.

"Huh?" surprised Tia with a face that has paled.

Ilham just giggled amusedly at the expression of his wife.

That is, during the trip they spend with joking. Impregnate the feeling that is bubbling in the chest, feeling gratitude, relief and happiness simultaneously.

They pray that this happiness and togetherness is not temporary, but always allowed until they age and are only separated by death.
