Rainbow At the End of Dusk
Chapter 38

Arriving at the factory after being escorted by Ilham, Tia works as usual after almost two weeks she does not work on the grounds of illness.

Everyone who was in the factory did not know of his current status. Tia was grateful for that, so no one would know that Ilham was her husband now. At least let people only know Tia as an officialgirl in this factory.

Tia works with no spirit because she still thinks about what the future of her marriage will be like.

With the incident earlier this morning at her in-laws house, she became increasingly hesitant to give her heart to Inspiration, not because Inspiration was not good, only Tia herself was unsure about the feelings of Inspiration to her.

Seeing the closeness of Ilham and Anna this morning, Tia had to make sure the feeling of Inspiration to Anna was actually how.

Tia's age may still be young but she can not be mature to respond to her condition now. Tia must be wise in determining her steps forward, lest she sacrifice for the undue and lest she sacrifice others for her happiness.

Tia had to make sure everything was clear, only then would she start thinking about what steps she should take for the continuation of her marriage.

Wrong indeed, he was too easy to agree to a marriage that seemed hasty and confusing to him. But isn't it too late to make things clear for a clearer future.

"Have he come? are you sick for two weeks?" the question Erna posed brought her back to the consciousness of her long daydream.

"Ehm.. What's Ma'am?" Tia flinched and only that sentence came out of her mouth.

"What pain are you?" ask Erna again.

"Ehm.he's a regular pain anyway Mommy, just like the symptoms of typhus because his body lemes that."

"Oh, but it's healthy now, right? how does it seem to still lemes anyway?" said Erna again.

"Ehm.kok kok Mbak, thank God Tia is already healthy, has been strong work too," said Tia with a thin smile.

"Yes, continue the work," said Erna again while preparing behind the reception desk, Tia only nodded faintly.

"Hi. hai. a beautiful girl named New Flower came," said the cheerful Flower with a chirpy tone of voice as usual.

"Hi Mbak Bunga is beautiful," Tia said as she developed her smile.

"Geez, Tia. kangen really," said Bunga with a surprised tone while hugging Tia gaunty.

"Heh, teletubies if you want to miss aja, five minutes more morning break," said Erna as she stroked the arms of Bunga and Tia.

"The lyrics don't get a hug!" Flowers grunted angrily towards Erna.

"Later the story is why yesterday you skipped work two weeks," said Bunga to Tia who was in response to a nod of the head by Tia.

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

The day leading up to noon and Tia's working hours were soon over. That day Tia did not meet with Ilham, rather Tia avoided meeting with Ilham.

When going home from work Tia was confused about where to go home, if she went home to her parents-in-law she still felt embarrassed and awkward. Finally, after thinking repeatedly Tia decided to go home to her boarding house, anyway her stuff is still a lot there.

Tia sends a message to Ilham, that he will just go home to the boarding house and Ilham also allows, with a note after returning home from work later Ilham will invite Tia to go home to his parents again. Tia agreed, at least she had two hours to herself and rethink about her marriage.

"Yang, Aa is already in front," Ilham said by phone to Tia after he parked his motorbike in the parking lot of Tia.

Tia rushed out of the room and locked her up, then went down to meet her husband who was already in the boarding house parking lot.

Tia only brought a few items of her needs that she put in a travel bag that is not too big. He deliberately did not bring much stuff, because he still felt uncomfortable living in his in-laws' house. That way he still had a reason to occasionally return to the boarding house.

Arriving at the parking lot, Tia stopped her steps because she saw something that made her heart again feel uncertain.

In front of him now Ilham was seen busy chatting with Anna, Ilham seemed to laugh freely and occasionally Ilham scrambled Anna's hair was anxious. Tia just looked at the two of them who were unaware of its existence.

Again A Ilham did not realize my presence when with Anna tea, Tia's mind was sad

"Eh, Yang." Finally, after ten minutes of waiting for Tia, Ilham realized the existence of Tia who was just silently watching her with Anna.

"Yes, because Tia has come I go, Ham," said Anna left with a smile towards Ilham and Tia.

"Okay," Inspiration replied briefly, a smile still not faded on his face. Tia noticed there was happiness in the glare of Ilham's eyes while chatting with Anna.

Tia simply nodded faintly and smiled faintly towards Anna.

"Yeah yuk, who's leaving!" imham exclaimed as he pulled Tia's arm to ride on his motorbike. Tia pegged not to shift his position in the slightest to make Ilham's forehead wrinkled.

"Why? ask Ilham wonder.

"A, we have to talk" Tia said in a serious tone.
