Rainbow At the End of Dusk
Chapter 44

In the morning, as in the morning usually after the morning prayers Tia was ready and set herself to go to work.

Inspiration only watched his wife with a fluffy smile.

"What the hell is it, the dawns are busy?" ask Ilham.

"Yes, go do A, yuk anterin!" exclaims Tia while attaching her bag.

Inspiration is just silent not moving from its position.

"Congratulations Aa diem? don't you want to take me?" Tia's forehead is wrinkled.

"You don't have to work today" replied Ilham lightly. Tia's forehead is getting wrinkled up in.

"We are given three days leave to Papah for the holidays" said Ilham with a smile that expands.

"We?" Tia wonder.

Inspiration simply nodded without removing her smile.

Does that mean everyone in the factory will know my status? inner Tia.

"Not a funny kayak?"

"Hmm?" Tia replied with a murmur.

"Will everyone in the factory know with our status?" Tia asked carefully.

"Yes, Papah will make an official notice of our marriage" replied Ilham rose from his seat and hugged his wife.

"You're my wife and everyone should know that." Inspiration tightened his embrace on Tia

"But A, so I can't work in a factory anymore?" tia asked in a soft voice.

Inspiration nodded slowly.

"You're Papah's son-in-law, why do you have to work as an officegirl?"

Tia did not like the news that she just received, it felt like she would lose her identity. Tia felt her husband and family did not accept her for who she was.

"But I'm bored if it's just at home" Tia replied in a sad tone.

"It looks like you have to be pregnant and have children so as not to be lonely," recalls Ilham while chuckling.

"Aa mah," Tia said.

Inspiration just chuckles amusedly.

"Yes, you can help take care of the restaurant, while aa help Papah in the factory" said Ilham after breaking his embrace.

Tia finally just nodded weakly then kept back her bag.

"Let's get down! Mama must have been waiting for me." Inspiration took Tia's hand to follow in her footsteps.

When they arrive in the kitchen, Tia is unhappy because Anna is already there.

How come Anna's tea is here again so early? inner Tia.

"Lo gapain? nginep again?" ask Ilham after seeing the existence of Anna who was sitting sweetly at the dining table.

"Yes, why?" asked Anna lazily.

"Ck, I don't have a house," said Ilham.

"Why the hell? aunt Karla doesn't mind." Anna hugs Karla's mom with anxiety, Karla's smiling mom gets Anna's treatment.

Tia only silently noticed the closeness of her in-laws to Anna. Ilham took a quick glance at Tia and she understood what her wife was feeling.

"Why Ham? Do you mind if I stay here often?" anna asked after following the direction of Inspiration.

"No" the word of Inspiration hangs.

"This is Mamah's house with Papah, so Tia has no right to object to tea," said Tia calmly with a faint smile cutting Inspiration.

"No, no, no objection" said Anna lightly. Anna with a smile puffed back up sat down and started eating her food.

Inspiration and Tia ate in silence. Ms. Karla also ate in silence while occasionally glancing at her daughter-in-law. She understood her daughter-in-law was uncomfortable because of Anna's existence.

Anna who did not understand the situation continued to chatter cheerfully while chewing her food.

"Ham, my anterin later to kosan," Anna's actual pinta is an order.

"Why? can't go home by yourself?" Inspiration raised his face lazily.

"Come dong!" whining Anna.

Inspiration turned to look at Tia who just looked down as if she had not heard Anna's words.

"Why? can't Tia be?" asked Anna curiously. Hearing her name mentioned suddenly made Tia look up at Anna.

Tia just smiled thinly.

"After A, Anna's tea pity," said Tia flatly lying to herself.

"But-" the words of Inspiration hang.

"So, Tia is okay" said Anna lightly cutting Inspiration.

Finally, Ilham drove Anna back to her boarding house. Tia remained silent in the room after the departure of Ilham and Anna.

"Tokks.toks.." The sound of knocking on the door of the room was heard making Tia rise from her seat to open the door.

"Eh Mah, come in!" take Tia with you after opening the door and it looks like Karla is smiling behind the door.

Ms. Karla smiled faintly and went into Ilham's room, then sat down on the bedside.

"Here sit Tia!" tell mom Karla when she sees Tia just standing there not to sit with her.

Tia then sat down next to Karla.

"Tia, are you uncomfortable with the closeness of Ilham and Anna?" ask Karla softly.

Tia simply lowered her head and closed her lips reluctantly to answer her in-laws' questions.

"Ilham and Anna were together from the age of five, twenty years together. So it would be difficult if you suddenly had to keep your distance." Ms. Karla explained softly.

"But Inspiration loves you son, mamah knows what kind of mamah child." Further again.

Tia was still silent not responding.

"You must learn to accept their closeness, must believe that Inspiration loves only you Tia, his wife." Ms. Karla tried to convince but she did not realize that her words had just made Tia's heart doubt her feelings.

Tia's forehead wrinkled up as she felt complete disapproval of what her in-laws had said.

Try asking every wife out there, would it be comfortable to see her husband hanging out so close to other women who have no blood ties to him.

A second later Tia smiled faintly at her in-laws then nodded slowly. She tried to calm her in-laws down so as not to worry without words. Tia tries to lie to herself, then tries to believe everything will be okay.

"Mamah hope your marriage is always harmonious and happy" said Ms. Karla sincerely. Now he was calm with the answer Tia gave.

"Amin," Tia answered briefly.

Ms. Karla got up and gave a gentle swipe at the top of Tia's head before she passed out of Ilham's room.

After Karla left him alone. Tia was drifting in her own daydream, she increasingly felt unworthy to be next to Ilham. After learning that Ilham and Anna's relationship is intertwined for almost twenty years, Tia feels she is the third person in her relationship. And it should be the third person, right? how thought.

Dad, Mom, what should Tia do? inner Tia.

Tia drifted away in her own daydream, not realizing that Ilham was sitting next to her while propping up her chin with one of her hands. Ilham stared fixedly at his wife's face with a fluffy smile.

"But what the hell? seriously as it is," said Ilham while chuckling.

Tia nodded in surprise regained her senses from her daydream. He looked quickly towards Ilham.

"A, Tia wants to go home to Dad, Mom," Tia said suddenly.

"Eh, what's Yang's impromptu?" Ilham was shocked at his wife's wishes.

"Mumpung can take a day off, right" said Tia with a pleading gaze.

"Huhm, yes it is!" reply Ilham pasrah.

Not very sensitive, given the holiday so that it can be alone, even want to go home, dumel Ilham in heart.
