The Obsolete Bond
The Perfect Life
TING!
Sarah's clinking phone signifies an incoming message notification. Sarah wrapped her hair in a towel and tied her bath pyjamas. Shower in the morning is the best way to start the day.
Jemari cleverly enter the access code of his phone and open the message that just entered. Without him noticing, his lips smiled faintly reading the name of the sender of the message. Ditto. It was the heart that sent the message.
Ready yeah. I'll pick you up, honey!
Sarah was excited to read the message. I don't know what Dito's planning but he keeps asking Sarah to meet. Well lately they are very drowning with their respective busyness. Sarah is busy with year-end reports at the bank where she works. While Dito is busy with field projects that he has just held as a project supervisor.
Maybe the longing of the two was too overflowing until when he heard Sarah could take off at the same time as her holiday, Dito immediately invited Sarah to meet.
"You miss me so much, are you the same as me?" Tempted Sarah on the phone 3 days ago.
"Who tried to be the same woman as perfect as you? I haven't seen my pretty girl in a long time!" Reply Dito across the phone.
"We're meeting yuk, honey. Dinner's? Or what is it? Anyway meet! I want to meet you. There's something really important." Get Dito on the phone.
"But you're busy, Yang. Yes if you spare, I want to. My work is done with all of this, too." Sarah complained.
"Saturday how? I'm getting a holiday this Saturday." Dito.
"Saturday can be. I'm sure if the year-end report has been run, it could be. Corporate slaves are so.." joked Sarah who was replied with a Dito laugh across the phone.
"OK deh. Saturday I'll pick you up at 10 am! Beautiful dandan, I'll take you everywhere!" Dito said with a cheerful tone.
"right, Babes. At 6 o'clock, huh? Later I dandan the beautiful until you forget this girlfriend who hahaha" replied Sarah and ended their call that night.
Saturday finally arrived. Since morning Sarah has been excited and preparing the best clothes for her date. Plus the frills of Dito who said there was something important that he wanted to convey. Sarah's heart was jumping. Is it possible that Dito would propose to her?
The smile was unceasingly on Sarah's lips. With agility he decorated her beautiful face, styling her long black hair. His hands picked and matched the best clothes he had. For weeks he had not met Dito so he should have performed at his best today. If you see a priority customer only makes Sarah have to dress up 2 hours, especially if you want to meet her heart.
"Whoo! Son! This is Dito!" Sarah's mother's voice was heard calling Sarah.
The prince who was waiting had arrived.
"Yes Ma! Sarah's done this soon!" Sarah answered while tidying her hair.
As a final touch, Sarah daubed the red lip dye that makes her look more complete. The knee-length white dress she was wearing looked beautiful hugging her body fittingly. He walked out of his room and down the stairs. Meet his heart lover.
His eyeballs caught Dito sitting in the living room while chatting with Mama Sarah. Both of them seemed familiar and occasionally laughed. Sarah smiled to see it. How grateful he is to have such a perfect life. Her mother, who was a single parent, struggled to raise Sarah and her sister.
And in front of his mother, a man who had been with him for ten years as his lover. The man who accompanied him from high school until now he has worked. From the time Sarah was a bad duck until now like a goose. That man is Dito.
"Yuk off!" Ask Sarah to make her Mama and Dito turn to look at Sarah.
Dito sumringah's smile looked at his woman. It has been almost 2 months not met and Sarah looks more beautiful in her eyes. Dito immediately moved and said goodbye to Mama Sarah.
"Yes Ma, Sarah said yes to go first. It's Sarah's rich eating malems outside of Ma. So don't cook too much. Boim ain't home too, ain't nobody abisin." Said Sarah remind Mama that Baim, her sister, also had wandered from the morning with her sunmorning entourage.
"Be careful, son!!!" mama Sarah waved her hand.
Sarah and Dito get into Dito's car. Before long, the four-wheeled engine drove through the streets. Bring the lovers to their destination.
"Where are you going, Yang?" Sarah asked in the car as they were on their way.
"Dinner dong's. I'd like to take you to a place you'd like." Dito replied with a smile.
About half an hour away, the car they boarded arrived at their destination. An outdoor restaurant that looks very beautiful and romantic.
"Wah tumben nih eat it in a romantic place. Usually we eat every tee t-shirt doang keep nyari important delicious, Yang?" Sarah asked while teasing Dito who almost laughed because he was constantly being teased by his lover.
"Yes once in a while, Yang. I just got my sustenance. If you don't want to yaudah, we are back to eating chicken geprek hahaha" Canda Dito told Sarah.
"Yes, joking my love. I want to eat here. The yok hunt's down!" Sarah prevents Dito from turning the wheel.
Both entered the restaurant. Unbeknownst to Sarah, Dito had ordered a special table for the two of them. Just below the gazebo in the middle of the pool.
Sarah's heart thumped, imagining that Dito might propose to her. Who knows, the wait for 10 years for a relationship is finally over, right? His delusion was everywhere but he hurriedly resuscitated himself. Because how many times has he been bullied by Dito about something like this?
Sarah and Dito ordered some dishes for their meal. Pasta and other European dishes. Actually, food like this is not a favorite of Sarah or Dito. Understandably, the tongue of both is local once and every date they eat if not chicken geprek, surely satay.
Maybe Dito wants a different atmosphere.
So Sarah thought and unceremoniously ate the dish they ordered. After finishing every dish on the table, Dito called a waiter and asked him to bring them something. The waiter nodded and left.
"What else do you want?" Sarah was confused.
"Specialty anyway." replied Dito with a meaningful smile.
Before long, there was a melodious sound from the saxophone that looked closer. Along with the saxophone player, the waiter who had approached us brought a large bouquet of roses and gave it to Dito.
Sarah surprised. His mouth opened without him noticing. Dito took something in his pocket. A red velvet box. Then Dito knelt with one leg in front of Sarah. Her smile seemed timid as she looked towards Sarah solemnly.
"Sarah Azzura Alana, I know you've been waiting for this moment for a long time. I'm sorry for continuing to fall in your expectations. I'm sorry I haven't been able to be the perfect boyfriend for you. I apologize for all my shortcomings. But I promise I'll be better than now. And I promise to be the best man for you. Do you want to be with me every step of the way? Until we age together and close our eyes? Will you marry me?"
Tears filled Sarah's eyes. He could no longer hold back his cries. Her happiness broke into tears. His waiting and the ever-dependent hope are uncertain, has now become a reality. Ardito Wicaksono, his girlfriend of 10 years, finally proposed to him! What's more, in this romantic way?!
"So how, Yang? Accepted application?" Tanya Dito disperse the reverie of Sarah.
Sarah wiped the tears that flooded her cheeks and nodded meaningfully to Dito.
"Yes, Dit. I want!"
