The Obsolete Bond

The Obsolete Bond
Divorcement


A divorce warrant was sent to Dito's home in Ambon. Coincidentally that day Dito was in his house and he himself received the letter. His fists clenched until his knuckles turned white. He was angry at Sarah who was presumptuous and dared to make this decision.


"Damn it! How dare Sarah defy my divorce?! After he took everything to Mama Papa and now this?!" Shouted Dito full of anger.


"Isn't that enough for Sarah to worry about me being dumped by Mama Papa?! Why did he have to do this again?!" Dito exploded in his anger.


Anggi who heard her husband's angry outburst immediately approached Dito to calm him down.


"Be calm! You why?" Ask Anggi.


Dito showed the piece of paper to Anggi. Anggi.


"Divorce duty? Sister Sarah's fighting over your divorce, Mas?" Ask Anggi.


Dito just nodded in annoyance.


Anggi's heart jumped excitedly looking at the paper in front of him. Eventually she could become Dito's only legal wife. To hell with Dito's parents who do not want to accept Anggi as his son-in-law. All Anggi wants is to have Dito. And now that dream will be realized soon.


Dito's phone rang. A message came into it.


"Who is Mas?" Ask Anggi curiously.


"Tidad." Answer Dito briefly.


Dito read the message sent by Sarah.


I'm getting word that my divorce papers you've received, Dit. Please quickly sign so that our business can be finished quickly and Anggi can soon become your legitimate wife.


Dito felt his anger was already at the end of his head. He slammed his cell phone on the floor to pieces. Anggi nodded and held Dito's shoulder. Trying to wake her from her anger.


"Mas! Cool out! You have to remember, this is what we want, right? With your divorce from Sarah, Deo could be your legally legitimate son! You don't just think about your ego Mas, you have to think about my fate and Deo!" Anggi reminded Dito.


Dito fell silent in his anger. He's so upset. His ego is hurt because Sarah divorced him so easily and chose to leave Dito. It is true that the ego of a man is always bigger than his brain.


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


It has been 3 months since Sarah returned from Ambon and settled back in Semarang. Now the age of the womb has entered the seventh month. Tomorrow is the first hearing of her divorce from Dito. There was nothing else he had expected except to quickly break free from the invisible bridle that had bound him all along. For the child, I don't know what's next. But clearly Sarah believes Sarah is able to face everything alone especially for the sake of her child.


But really, among the many misfortunes that befell her, Sarah still feels like the luckiest person in the world. She has a very supportive mother and sister who support her. Even now Baim turned very mature and became a very protective figure and always protected Sarah desperately. If something happened to Sarah, Baim was the first to come forward to defend her.


"Later if my son was born, I would not be able to observe you continue, Im." Tempted Sarah one day as she was relaxing with Baim and his mother.


"Yo wis if Mbak do not want to pay attention to me, your son will not take it. Let your son love me more than you." Baim said he would not lose.


"My son will regret having your rich Om." Sarah is back to teasing her sister.


Baim glaring.


"Heh?! How's nyesel? Your son will have Om as cool as I am. It may not regret him. Later if it's past 40 days I invite him sunmori with my friends let him hit my cool." Answer Baim again.


Sarah just laughed.


Not only Mama and her sister, even Dito's parents still love him like before. Sometimes Mama Dito would come just to take Sarah for a walk. Not infrequently Sarah will go with her two former in-laws. Either for dinner or just buy supplies for their grandchildren who are born soon. Their affection is still the same and even bigger than before.


And Elton? Elton is still as attentive to Sarah as ever. Although very far away, but Elton always try to keep his communication with Sarah. Every day Elton took the time to call Sarah via video call. It's true, if someone thinks you're his priority, then he'll always have time for you.


"Hey pretty, how are you?" Ask Elton as usual.


"Good, El. Very kind. You how? It's good there, right? Did you forget to eat? Ain't sick?" Sarah was worried.


Elton laughing. It feels very beautiful to be noticed by the woman he loves even though the attention is only limited as a friend.


"Well, don't worry about me. I can take care of myself here." Elton.


"Oh, by the way, your first hearing is tomorrow, right, Sarah?" Ask Elton back.


Sarah nodded.


"Doain ya El, hopefully the trial is smooth and not protracted. Let's break up quickly and finish." Said Sarah.


"Hopefully your troubles will be solved soon, Sarah. The spirit of tomorrow! Anyway, I was always there for you! Don't hesitate to tell me if there's a problem." Elton's message to Sarah.


"Later your boyfriend gets angry with me if I call you often, El." Reply Sarah.


Elton just replied with a laugh. If Sarah had known, from the first time Elton knew Sarah, she would have been the only woman to occupy her heart. Sarah's the woman Elton loves. Which makes Elton even willing to give his whole life for the happiness of Sarah. How could Elton love another woman if she was already filled with his love for Sarah?


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


Today is the first trial of Dito and Sarah's divorce. Sarah has been waiting in court since 8 am when the trial will only start at 10 am. I really hope everything goes smoothly without any problems.


Sarah's eyes then caught the figure of a man she knew very well. The man who ruined his life. It changed his view of love. First love and first betrayal for Sarah. And that man is Dito.


Dito approached Sarah. His mouth seemed to want to say something but he puffed it out.


"Why? What are you gonna say?" Ask Sarah.


Dito's move stopped. He looked towards Sarah.


"Ga there is." Dito said briefly and soon passed leaving Sarah.


In his heart, Dito cursed himself who was so cowardly that he was unable to say something as simple as an apology. Why do his lips look at Sarah? See Sarah who is pregnant? Dito was convinced the boy was not his son. He should not feel sorry for Sarah.


At 10 a.m., their first trial began. It was fortunate that the trial went off without a hitch because both Sarah and Dito were cooperative. But what they don't know is a drama that will happen after their first trial.


Sarah and Dito walk out of the courtroom. But how shocked Sarah was to see her sister Baim sitting waiting for her outside. Sarah told her mother not to tell Baim that the date of her trial was today. Sarah is afraid that Baim will meet Dito because he still has a grudge against Dito.


And sure enough, what Sarah was afraid of actually happened. Right at the moment when Baim saw Dito's figure, the emotions in his eyes rekindled. With a sigh he ran towards Dito and threw a punch to Dito's face. Dito fell. Twice and both landed on his right cheek. Naturally, because Baim's body alone measures 2 times Dito's body.


"Im, that's it. Don't do this, Ma'am, ask for help!" Sarah held Baim. Prevent him from going further.


"I promise you, I'll teach him a lesson. And now it's gone." Say Baim relax.


"You should be grateful, Dit. If you don't have Sarah, maybe you're in the ICU now!" Baim was upset.


But Dito also did not reply and just kept quiet. Could it be because Dito also felt he deserved to be beaten up like this? For the wrongs he made with Sarah? Because after all it is natural that Baim also feels hurt to see his brother treated as he treated Sarah.


Sarah immediately apologizes to Dito and tells him to go home. Dito just nodded and saw Sarah walking away from him. Could this divorce be the right decision?
