Rainbow At the End of Dusk
Chapter 46

In a small village in the corner of Bandung, a young girl was sitting pensively on her bed, her legs bent and she drowned her head between her knees.

Dusk was already greeting, the sky was already orange, but the girl had still not moved a single bit from her position since this afternoon.

the door of the room opened slowly then a middle-aged woman walked in. He stepped slowly then sat down beside the girl who was still engrossed in her daydream.

The middle-aged woman gently stroked the girl who was in front of her. Sensing a touch in her head, the girl raised her head.

"Mother," the girl shrieked in a hoarse voice and puffy eyes from crying too much.

"Eat yuk Nak!" take Nadia's mother to her son Tia, yes the girl is Tia.

Tia shook her head slowly, "Tia isn't hungry Ma'am," said Tia blankly.

"Son, it's been three days that you haven't eaten regularly and just locked yourself in the room. Father same mother worried, eat even a little so you don't get sick," persuaded madam Nadia softly.

This time Tia just kept quiet not responding to her mother's words. He had even forgotten how many days he had been like this if his mother had not reminded him just now. It turned out that she had been like this for three days, she had already left her husband's house. For three days no one was looking for him either. Even Ilham, her husband did not look for her either.

Tia let out a heavy sigh, it turned out to be so worthless of herself for Inspiration. The decision to leave was not even her husband to prevent, Ilham ignored it like this without clarity and explanation.

Sick? of course it hurts. His heart ached knowing the fact that his existence was never considered by Inspiration.

He should stop hoping from today.

"Tia..," called Nadia's mother softly, her heart was sick to see her eldest daughter had to experience household problems at a young age.

Tia turned to face Nadia who was crying beside her. Tia squandered her mother's embrace, she felt like a child who always troubled both parents especially with the problems she has now.

"Sorry Mom, sorry Tia nahusahin Mommy and I continue," said Tia while sobbing in her mother's arms.

Madam Nadia shook her head, "Tia is a good boy, what happened is not entirely wrong Tia or Ilham. But it is our fault as parents who have imposed our will on you." Madam Nadia paused her sentence, "Now I have eaten, Father and Mother have spoken to Mr. Nugraha and we have agreed." Tia just glanced at her mother with a sad look.

So this is how quickly the decision should be made? so this is how soon it all ends?

Without feeling the tears had run down the river on Tia's cheek, why did everything become like this? when it comes to marriage it is decided quickly, as well as the separation everything is decided quickly too.

Tia truly felt she had no power over her own life, as everything was arranged and decided by her parents.

"Now eat first yes," said Nadia's mother before she moved out of Tia's room. Tia only nodded weakly, she sighed many times then she wiped away the trace of tears on her cheeks. Tia got up from her seat and came out of the room to eat like her mother had asked.

Meanwhile at a private hospital in the city of Bandung, a young man was lying weakly with an infusion hose that stuck in the back of his left hand.

"You're sober, honey?" asked Karla after entering her son's room and found his son's eyes were open. Inspiration only nodded faintly, he did not even remember how long he had been unconscious.

Since Tia's departure, Ilham continued to cry and blame himself. The young man fell into a deep slump and confined himself to his room until Karla found him unconscious due to dehydration. Ilham was taken to the hospital for treatment.

"Tia, mah..," said Ilham then back sobbing bitterly.

Bu Karla knows this is the first toughest thing her son has ever experienced, from the little Inspiration never to lose something he has and can always get what he wants easily. It's all because Karla's mom has been pampering her since she was a child.

And now, it seems that God is explaining to him that always pampering children is not the right thing. It could cause his child to be too fragile to face even easy difficulties.

She was convinced the decision her husband had taken was right this time, so she just had to trust and help her son to stay strong.

"Mahs... Tia.." On the sidelines of his sobbing was always that word which was thrown from the pale mouth of Inspiration.

"You are strong, son, all will be repaired by papa," said Ms. Karla as she gently stroked Ilham's head. Inspiration is just silently trying to digest the sentence spoken by his mother.

Ilham just stared flat at the papa, when Pak Nugraha moved in and approached Ilham and bu Karla, there was a girl who also followed the steps of Mr. Nugraha.

"Ham..," called the girl softly, she looked at Inspiration.

"Sorry Ham, because of me" Anna did not continue her sentence.

"From today you should be able to take care of yourself An," said Ilham coldly.

Anna just nodded her head in resignation, she felt very guilty about what happened to her best friend's household. Because of her habit that always depends on Inspiration, Anna so did not think again with her attitude all this time which actually hurt Tia.

"No need Ham, take care of Anna all you want from now on" said Mr. Nugraha flatly.

"I mean papa?" startled Inspiration.

Inspiration tries to get up to sit with difficulty.

"Papa has spoken with your in-laws and we have agreed" said Mr. Nugraha calmly.

"What do you mean?" tanya Ilham was impatient, this time in a louder voice with a riled tone.

"We shouldn't force you to marry, so we'll fix it" Nugraha said.

Ilham smiled wryly hearing the explanation of his papa.

"Bah, marriage is not a game that can start and end as you like!" said Ilham loudly, visible flashes of anger from the look of his eyes.

"We start and we end it." Mr. Nugraha is still calm.

"No reward, Inspiration does not!"
