The Obsolete Bond
Waiting

Anggi did not find anything strange since his return from Bali. At least not in front of his eyes. Anggi never saw Dito and Sarah together and Dito was always with Anggi. Especially soon after the birth of his son. But Anggi believes something has changed between them.

Since the first incident Anggi found lipstick marks on the collar of Dito's shirt, Anggi has felt something strange. The atmosphere between Sarah and Dito had already begun to melt. Dito wasn't as cold as he used to be to Sarah. Although he still called Sarah by name, but Anggi found Dito occasionally gave a warm smile to Sarah. Or even a little laugh at Sarah's behavior. And Anggi doesn't feel safe with all this.

"Dec, you were born quickly. Mama doesn't feel safe here. You can be your mother's protector, right?" Ask Anggi to the baby who is still in his stomach.

A few days ago, Anggi finished her last consultation before giving birth. And according to the estimates of doctors, Anggi should be giving birth in the near future. Maybe in these weeks. Anggi was already impatient to see his son. His flesh and blood with Dito.

Since morning somehow Anggi felt the occasional contraction in his stomach. Sometimes a few minutes appear and sometimes disappear. Not painful. But it's quite disturbing.

"Ma, my stomach has started to contract steadily from morning. I'm afraid I'll be born again." Anggi answered while holding his aching stomach.

"Well, that's good. You were the time of his contract, Nggi. If you start often you tell Mama and Dito. We need to get to that hospital." Obviously Miss Risa.

Anggi was relieved because at least his mother knew a lot about it. Understandably, his mother used to work in a midwife clinic when young. As a logger. But maybe from there her mother knows a lot about pregnancy. What can be what is not. What medications can be taken and which ones are harmful to pregnant women. My mom knew it was all out of her head.

And sure enough, at 5 p.m., Anggi's contractions did not stop. His body showed signs that his son had asked to come out. Luckily, everything was at home at the time.

"Mas, my stomach hurts a lot. We have to go to the hospital now."

Dito swiftly carried Anggi into the car while Bu Risa carried the goods Anggi had prepared in the suitcase. They darted out and went to the hospital in the blink of an eye.

"Sar, I'm taking home!" Book Dito before leaving his house.

"Yes be careful!" Answer Sarah as she is. Everything was too fast and he needed time to process it.

Sarah was sitting alone in the living room. Thought glaring.

"Ah, soon Dito's first child with Anggi was born. I don't know what my fate is after this." Devotional Sarah.

For the first time he felt such a strong loneliness. All this time he always threw away his negative emotions by immersing himself in work. Abandoned in one's own land without being with anyone. And now maybe soon he'll be kicked out of this house. Although her heart still swears to be loyal to her husband, but a husband who is married to two will not be able to do the same, right?

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

Sarah just got back from the office. Because Anggi had complications during childbirth, so Anggi had to be in the hospital long enough.

"What complications does Dit?" Sarah asked on the phone when Dito gave it to her.

"It turns out Anggi has the same high blood heart as well, Sar. So maybe he'll be treated a little while." Obviously Dito.

"But the baby is healthy, right?" Sarah was worried.

"Thank God the baby is perfectly healthy. Boy, Sar. I'm gonna have a boy!" Excited Dito pleased.

Sarah grimacing. He heard Dito looked so happy. His little heart was sad because in that happiness Sarah was not in it. And maybe forever never will be. Where maybe Anggi will let Dito share his happiness with Sarah.

Because Anggi had to be hospitalized, so Dito was very busy going back and forth to the hospital. Sarah could see clearly even though Dito was so tired, but she would still move her body to go to the hospital to see her son. Ah, if only Sarah had been there and given all this happiness to Dito. Sarah will be content and ask God nothing more.

Sarah's been home alone for a few days. So quiet. But maybe getting quiet once in a while is a good thing. At least he can be free from the drama Anggi and Miss Risa. And have some privacy for a moment. It was a long time ago that he did not play with himself. Because he was afraid that the sound he made was heard by others and would instead be made into a teasing material by Anggi and Bu Risa.

Sarah is, after all, a normal, physically and spiritually healthy woman. Especially if he is married. Is it natural that his body misses the pleasure? But her husband rarely touched her body. The cause is especially if not the honey who always follows her husband everywhere. So the only way is to do it yourself, right?

Sarah opened her locked secret drawer. He then pulled out his flagship thing.

THE DRTTT!

Sarah turned it on to check if it was still working properly. And thankfully yes. Sarah looked around the house and made sure the situation was safe. He then took it into the bathroom and began his favorite ritual.

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

Dito just got home from the hospital. It has been 3 days since he went back and forth between his home and the hospital to take care of his wife. Despite being tired, there was great happiness that enveloped his heart. He parked his car in the yard and opened the door.

"Locked? Sarah ain't home?" Dito looked around his house and found Sarah's car parked in his garage.

"The car is there."

Dito turned the spare key he had and opened the front door. Silent. Like there's no one at home.

"Gram!" Dito's looking for Sarah. Usually, when he comes home from the hospital, he will see Sarah watching television or working. And Sarah will soon help him pack the things he needs.

But that day he didn't see Sarah anywhere. Dito looks for her into the room, into the kitchen, and even into the back garden but she doesn't see Sarah anywhere. Then he thought about going into Sarah's room.

He then went into Sarah's room and walked towards the bathroom. Dito raised his hand to knock on the door. His hand stopped when he heard something from the bathroom. Sound********smooth sounding like Sarah.

"Why sarah?" Mumbled slowly.

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

Sarah finished her single game. Pull that thing out and wash it. He then cleaned his body and immediately wrapped the towel. Ah, at least the tension can be reduced a little because of the ritual earlier.

His hand grabbed the bathroom door knob and opened it. He walked out of the bathroom with a small hum. But how shocked Sarah when she saw the figure in her room. Dito was sitting on the edge of his bed. His eyes were watching the bathroom as if he was waiting for Sarah to come out.

"Eh, Dit? You been here a long time?" Ask Sarah awkwardly.

Dito nodded.

Lothawat! Does that mean Dito heard everything? Sound******* Sarah is lulled in her own enjoyment? Goddamnit! It feels Sarah can not look at Dito directly because Sarah is sure that her face must have turned red.

"What are you doing here, Dit? You're not back in the hospital?" Sarah turned her back to Dito. Pretending to be busy looking for something I don't know.

Dito got up from his seat and approached Sarah. He then grabbed Sarah from behind.

"I want to see my wife, please." Dito replied while inhaling the fresh scent of Sarah's body.

Sarah's frozen. Jesus, what's wrong with Dito?

"What did you do in the bathroom?" Dito asked in a seductive tone.

Sarah remained silent. She was caught by her own husband.

"Ngapain, Which?" Dito asked again while putting his lips in Sarah's ear.

His words he spoke by stalling every tribe he said. As if to tempt Sarah.

"Cook. I'm not doing anything." Answer Sarah's response.

Dito took Sarah's left hand which he had hidden. He took what Sarah had hidden.

"This what?" Said Dito while laughing. Dito's laughter sounded dark and like a predator chasing its prey.

Sarah was silent for a moment until she finally opened her voice.

"Sorry Dit. That's the only way for me." Sarah answered, looking down.

Sarah was so embarrassed. Her husband had just caught her playing with herself. Sarah wanted to throw her face away. Surely Dito will consider Sarah a crazy woman who is addicted ****! Goddamnit!

Dito laughed a little. He whispered the words that made Sarah's knee go limp for a moment.

"I'll show you that the toy can never replace me, Sarah."

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

Anggi's body feels very weak. The bottom had just been ripped off and now it felt very painful. Plus some of the complications he experienced during labor made his body more fragile.

"Dito hasn't come here yet, Ma?" Ask Anggi to Miss Risa.

"Not yet, Nggi."

"Dito where are you? Tumben's not here yet." Mumbled Anggi while looking at the wall clock that has shown at 9 pm.

Dito should have been here since 8. But why has he not arrived yet?

Shortly after, Dito entered the room where Anggi was treated. Anggi sumringah saw the man he was waiting for finally coming. Dito immediately sat beside Sarah's bed and not how long Miss Risa left them both.

"Why have you been here so long? Keep on drying it out Mas? Abis run?" Anggi asked who was astonished to see her husband's face filled with sweat.

Dito smiled and replied,

"Yes, it was jammed so bad that time until I immediately ran from the parking lot here."
