Rainbow At the End of Dusk
Chapter 29

"Bah.a-i.." Inspiration was unable to finish his sentence his voice was stuck in the throat, really he was in a dilemma of what decision he should take.

"Ham, Papah please!" clearly Mr. Nugraha begged his son by holding one of his hands, with a little hesitation Ilham nodded his head slowly, Mr. Nugraha smiled thinly and hugged his son.

"You will never regret it, son" said Mr. Nugraha as he outlined his embrace.

"Ilham excuse me to go to Pah's room first," said Ilham as he stood up and left his papa who was still sitting comfortably on the sofa of his study, Mr. Nugraha only nodded faintly.

When Ilham was at the door he was shocked to find his mother was sitting on the floor with a wet face and swollen eyes, karla's mother put her index finger in front of her lips to give her son a code to keep quiet and not say anything, inspiration nods and helps his mother to rise up.

Inspiration asked her to sit on the sofa in her room.

"Why was that in front of Papah's office?" ask Ilham when the mama has begun to calm down sitting on the sofa, only a soft belt that mamah give.

"Ham, it's all a mama's fault forgive mamah Ham!" said Mita ma'am back sobbing

"Mama is not wrong, Mamah just misunderstood." said soft Inspiration he knew that the mama heard all his talk with the papah

"Ham, will you help your mother to make the guilt nebus mama?" mita said while holding both hands, Ilham turned his eyes away and closed his eyes.

"Ilham is ready to marry the girl of papah mah choice," said Ilham softly while reopening his eyelids, his eyes showed a deep sense of disappointment.

Goodbye unspoken story

"Yes have a good rest, Ilham to the room first," said Ilham after laying his mother on the bed in his mama room.

When he arrived in his room, Ilham laid his body on the bed, she closed her eyes and sighed heavily a few times, her chest tight as she remembered that she would soon be married to someone she did not love and did not even know, it was so tight that he felt in her.

What a sad love story, for the first time his heart trembled because of a girl but he had to give up his love without having time to express.

Lord..is this the end of my love story? or the beginning of my love story?

Three days later....

"Please sign the release procedure papers!" tell one of the police officers in front of Mr. Gunawan, Mr. Gunawan rushed to do as ordered by the police. After finishing, Gunawan got up from his seat and greeted the police officer.

"Congratulations for your freedom, Mr. Gunawan," said Andre welcomed Mr. Gunawan's freedom while extending his hand

"Thank you very much Mr. Andre," replied Mr. Gunawan with a faint smile and welcomed Andre's hand and shook it.

"Please take my father home!" said Andre while opening the car door for Mr. Gunawan.

"Thank you" said Mr. Gunawan then entered the car with Andre to his house.

Arriving at home, Gunawan immediately got off Andre's car and invited him to stop by.

"Don't hesitate sir, sorry but I can't stop by any more business that I have to finish, hmm.. Sir I was sent a message by Mr. Nugraha he advised that he would come to propose to the father's son later in the evening," said Andre politely, Mr. Gunawan just silently did not respond to Andre's remarks

"Then I say goodbye to Sir" said Andre bowed his body with a polite smile and then re-entered his car, Gunawan only nod his head faintly, mr. Gunawan sighed softly while staring at the departure of Andre's car which was getting further and further away from the sight of his eyes.

How should I explain this proposal to my wife and children?

"Assalamu'alaikum" Gunawan said on the doorstep

"Wa'alaikumsalam," said Tia from inside the house, when the door opened it seemed Mr. Gunawan was developing his smile.

"Dad..!" squealing Tia while pouring into the arms of Mr. Gunawan, mr. Gunawan grabbed the body of his daughter in his arms tightly I don't know there is guilt in the heart of Mr. Gunawan for having to marry Tia to his best friend's child as a condition of his freedom.

Madam Nadia also welcomed her husband with a happy heart, crying should be heard in the living room of her house, they embrace as a family as well as Ardi and Melati even though they both do not understand what happened but they are happy that the father returned to the middle of the family.

"There is something you want to talk about" said Mr. Gunawan shortly after breaking his embrace, he stared fixedly at his eldest daughter with an indecipherable look.

"What does Dad want to say?" tia asked while putting the two halis together

"Do you want to marry, son?" father asked while giving a gentle look and gentle rubbing on Tia's head, Tia surged in shock with her father's words, as well as Nadia's mother she rounded her eyes and looked at her husband with a probing look.

"Later in the afternoon someone will propose to you" said Mr. Gunawan gently while continuing to gently stroke Tia's head

"What?" said Nadia's mother screamed a little in shock while Tia was just silent, she still could not catch what her father meant.

What exactly are you talking about anyway? I don't understand

"Well! why make a sudden decision? Tia hasn't even had a 19-year marriage?" said Miss Nadia sewot did not accept her daughter would be married without her consent first.

"Tia can think of Dad's offer, and Tia can also refuse if she doesn't want to after seeing the young man who will propose to Tia later," said Mr. Gunawan gently regardless of his wife who is not calm like a person who fires a beard.

"Well! I just don't agree!" said Nadia's mom still keukeuh

"Mom can refuse his proposal if you don't like the young man who will propose to Tia later," said Mr. Gunawan flat while looking at his wife gently he knew that this was the reaction his wife gave him when he found out about this, but that slightly stuck in her heart Tia's expression was not as she had imagined, Tia was not angry, did not refuse or cry, the girl just silently bowed.

"Dad won't force you son, so think carefully !" ordered Gunawan while stroking Tia's head gently, Tia only nodded faintly and then passed into the room without saying goodbye to her parents.

Mr. Gunawan looked at the departure of his son with a heart that was no less sick he knew his eldest son was a good and obedient child, and always thought about the feelings of others including his parents, he said, even if he had to sacrifice his own feelings.

"What's really going on? why are you suddenly talking about marriage?" muttered Tia softly after closing the door of her room, she leaned her body behind the door and her body fell to sit on the floor staring at the nanar direction.

Is this the beginning of my story? I don't even understand what kind of situation this is?
