The Obsolete Bond
Fat Lady

Right entering the fourth month of Anggi pregnancy, Mama Anggi moved in and lived in the house next to their house. Despite having met, Sarah knew nothing about the stocky woman other than that she was the mother of her husband's second wife.

Later Sarah found out that the thick-bodied woman was named Haurisa Kaihatu. But she is usually called Risa's mother. He separated from Anggi's father from the age of Anggi 5 years and since then he raised Anggi himself. But besides being tough, Risa's mother also has a hard heart. If he wants something, he will not give up until his desire is achieved. At least that's what Sarah's seen from her meetings.

But the thing is, Bu Risa's only wish is Anggi's happiness. In other words, whatever is the desire of Anggi is also the wish of Bu Risa. And there is only one desire Anggi. Has Dito in its entirety. Not shared with anyone else, especially Sarah.

As soon as she saw the figure of Bu Risa who came yesterday, Sarah could already feel a big problem walking towards her. Highlight the woman's eyes when she saw Sarah just like a tiger who was after her hunt. Just by looking at her, Sarah knew that Miss Risa had a thousand and one plans in her brain to keep Sarah away from Dito. Maybe what's on Miss Risa's mind is that she has to get rid of Sarah as soon as possible so that her daughter can be happy.

But Sarah is not a weak woman who will just back off. If Bu Risa considers her daughter to be entitled to Dito, then Sarah also has the same rights. Then why should he back off? After all, Dito's wife, who is officially recognized by the state, is only Sarah, right?

...****************...

Sarah decided to vacation in Semarang for a week. He came home alone because he felt tired and crowded living in the house with Anggi and Miss Risa. At least gathering with his mother for a moment will relieve his stress.

"Where's Dito, Nduk? How come you're not coming?" Mom asked Dito when she saw Sarah coming home alone.

"Dito's busy again Ma, he's got a project in NTB." Answer Sarah.

Lies. It was all a lie. Dito is actually home. She adored and adored her second pregnant wife. Even Dito did not know that Sarah was going to Semarang. All he knows is that Sarah went to Jakarta on a job.

"Oh, Mama will want to play once in a while to Ambon. Wanna see you there. Can you?" Ask Mom Dito.

Sarah choked. It's a bad situation if this all happens. But Sarah couldn't possibly forbid her in-laws from seeing her own child.

"Ah yes, may Ma. Very conceivable. Later Mama call Sarah or Dito if you want to play to Ambon. Let Sarah take a leave of absence for Mama to take a walk." Sarah answered with a fake smile.

God fucking. Hopefully Mama Dito's plan to visit is just a discourse. Because if it all happened, Sarah no longer knew how to hide all this.

After a week in Semarang, Sarah returned to Ambon. Although she hated being with those people, it was impossible for Sarah to come home empty-handed, right? Sarah prepares some typical Jakarta snacks to fake her vacation. So that the people at home no one knows that Sarah has just come from Semarang.

At 14:00 WIB, Sarah's plane landed at Pattimura International Airport. But his arrival this time was much different than his first arrival. If in his first arrival there is Dito who welcomes him with a happy heart, this time Sarah must swallow the bitter reality that no one will wait for him let alone pick him up.

Sometimes Sarah thinks, is it a big mistake to have Dito take responsibility for Anggi? Because that's where the beginning of the destruction of the household began. Maybe if Sarah forced Anggi to leave and didn't interfere with their lives, none of this would have happened. But Sarah can't let Dito's flesh blood be born without a father. Life without a father is hard and Sarah understands that. So Sarah doesn't want any other child to feel the way she feels. Moreover, it was her own husband's son. Life always has a dilemma.

Finally, after about an hour and a half by taxi, Sarah arrived at her home. The house he shared with Dito and Anggi. The house that he originally thought would become heaven turned into hell in the blink of an eye.

Sarah opens the door and sees Anggi and her mother chatting while watching television in the living room. The eyes of the two were immediately fixed on Sarah who entered carrying a suitcase and luggage. Miss Risa looked unhappy to see Sarah coming and it was clearly visible on her face. But Sarah didn't bother. He went into his room and put down his suitcase without saying a word.

Shortly Sarah came out of her room and put the souvenirs she bought at the dinner table.

"Nggi, Miss Risa, here I bring souvenirs from Jakarta." Sarah answered briefly and left the two mothers and the child back in her room.

Just a few minutes at home, the atmosphere felt very different. Sarah feels like an uninvited guest who is interfering with the happiness of the two people's lives. Sometimes Sarah is confused, actually who has the right to live here legally?

...****************...

Sarah was finishing her month-end report in her room when she heard Anggi groaning in pain. Before long, there was the sound of Ms. Risa who looked panicked.

"Nggi, why are you, son?!" Exclaimed Bu Risa.

"Ga knows Ma. Anggi's stomach hurt so much after eating that." Anggi replied holding his stomach while holding his aching stomach.

Sarah and Dito who heard the riot immediately rushed out of their respective rooms. Dito's face turned frantically looking at Anggi who was rolling on the floor while holding his stomach.

"His stomach suddenly hurt after eating the souvenirs that Sarah brought. Don't know what's in it." Answer Miss Risa.

Sarah's shocked. His eyes widened. All he brought was ordinary soes. How can a soes cake hurt a pregnant woman?

"Huh? This cake?" Sarah asked puzzledly as she showed the soes cake in her hand which she had just eaten half.

"Let's take Anggi to doctor Ma. Dito is afraid later there will be nothing equal Anggi content."

Dito quickly carried Anggi and took him to the car while Bu Risa tailed behind Dito. The three of them leave without saying goodbye to Sarah and leave Sarah alone at home in confusion.

Sarah finished the cake in her hand. There is nothing strange about this soes cake because Sarah also ate it.

"Feelings nothing? I ate this nothing. Why can Anggi suddenly have a stomachache?" Sarah asked herself.

Curiosity prompted Sarah to check on the soes cake at the dinner table. He took one and ate it. But Sarah's mouth felt a strange bitter taste from the cream of the cake. Sarah spat out the cake spontaneously from her mouth.

"Why is this cake bitter? It might not be stale, right? But if the stale should be asem dong?" Sarah wonders.

His nose sniffed the soes cake he had bitten. There is something strange about this cake. It was like something was mixed into the cream. Something like medicine? What drugs and who does it? Sarah spread her eyes all over the house. He searched for suspicious things but found nothing.

Goddamnit! Sarah knows something's wrong here, but she can't expect it. Sarah unpacked all the soes in the box. Splitting them one by one and finally Sarah found something inside one of the soes cakes.

"Bed headache?" Sarah was astonished.

...****************...

At the hospital, Dito seemed worried about Anggi's condition. He anxiously waited for Anggi to be examined. Moments later, the doctor who handled Anggi came out of the examination room with Anggi. It seems that Anggi is fine and does not feel pain anymore.

"How's my wife doing Doc?" Ask Dito worriedly.

"My wife and father are fine. You need not worry. Anggi's mother just ate wrong sir. There may be foods that cause allergic reactions or foods that are of poor quality that result in such a thing." The doctor was clear with detail.

Dito's thoughts were immediately fixed on Sarah. All this happened shortly after Anggi ate Sarah's soes cake. Is it possible that Anggi said? Did Sarah really feel jealous and not accept with Anggi's pregnancy? How much malice did Sarah have to do something like this? It was hard for Dito to believe it.

"Dit, can you talk to me about something?" Ask Bu Risa when Dito is waiting for the concoction of Anggi drugs to be completed.

"Why Ma?" Dito asked confusedly.

"It's all because of Sarah, Dit. Mama doesn't know she's on purpose or on purpose, but Anggi is in a lot of pain after eating Sarah's cake." Said Ms. Risa slowly.

"But Sarah can't be that bad Ma. No way Sarah wants to fuck Anggi." Dito tried to defend Sarah.

"Mama didn't blame or accuse Sarah. But maybe Sarah is less thorough so the cake that she brought was broken. Mama's not nagging Sarah nasty, Dit. Sarah is always negligent when it comes to gini-rich. It used to be, didn't it? Anggi miscarried when she was alone in the same house with Sarah. Maybe Sarah doesn't care too much about Anggi's condition because she feels she's not pregnant. But Mama cares about Dit. Anggi's Mama's daughter and she's pregnant with Mama's granddaughter." Miss Risa again continued her words that increasingly dropped Sarah.

Dito massaged his forehead. His dizzy head should be placed in a dilemma position. Plus its difficult nature to make decisions only added to complicate its position.

"So Mama wants Dito how?" Ask Dito in the end.

Miss Risa was silent for a moment before finally making her point.

"Keep Sarah from Anggi."
