Elton was just about to pick up Sarah when she checked her phone and it turned out that a message from Sarah was inside.

El, Dito suddenly came here and I went to say something. You don't have to take me to the restaurant.

Goddamnit! Elton forgot to check his phone because he was too cool to play with Ansel. This message was sent by Sarah 30 minutes ago. What's in Dito's head until he comes to Sarah at his restaurant? What exactly is Dito talking to Sarah about so she has to take her somewhere else?

Elton is worried, his heart is not calm and he is afraid something will happen by Sarah. The man, Dito, can go crazy if he wants something. Sarah once told me that Dito was obsessed with Sarah and approached Sarah many times. Sarah and Dito dated when they were in 3rd grade High School. Doesn't Elton remember the same thing happened to Anggi? Dito was even willing to lie for the sake of being able to sleep with Anggi right? Saying that he is a single man without a lover so that Anggi can fall in his arms.

Panic overpowered Elton's mind. He was worried that the woman he loved was in danger and would get hurt. Elton tried to call Sarah's number but failed. Sarah's cell phone is dead and it's never happened before.

"Something must have gone wrong. Sarah never matiin his phone if it's out alone again." Elton.

Elton rushes into the car and drives her to Sarah's restaurant. But no one was there anymore. Neither Sarah nor Dito.

"Sir, I'm sorry to ask." Elton reprimands the security guard who often guards the shophouse complex where Sarah's restaurant.

"Oh yeah, what's up Elton?" The security guard's reply was familiar to Elton.

"Mr has seen Sarah through here, hasn't Mister?" Ask Elton to panic.

"Oh Sister Sarah yes, if it's not wrong I saw Sister Sarah go to ride the same car men one way there, Mas." Clearly the security guard was pointing towards the north.

Elton immediately nodded and thanked the security guard. Elton swiftly returned to the car and drove his car along the north of the road designated by the security guard. Elton's eyes wandered in all directions, looking for Sarah or Dito. But he didn't meet anywhere.

After searching for 15 minutes, Elton finally found a bright spot. He saw Dito get into his car parked in the courtyard of a cafe.

"But why is Dito alone? Where's sarah?" Elton asked himself.

His instincts say he must follow Dito's car to find Sarah. He followed the black car slowly. Keep a safe distance so Dito doesn't suspect him. But how surprised Dito saw the car turn and get into a hotel. Elton was convinced one hundred percent that something was wrong with this whole situation.

Elton watched him from the car. Dito came down and held Sarah who looked faint.

"Sarah fainted? How can? Don't you think Dito gave Sarah something." Elton Mumbled.

It felt like Elton's heart was burning in anger to see Dito carrying Sarah into the hotel. But Elton knows, rushing after Dito will not deter Dito and will instead endanger Sarah. Elton waited and waited. After 15 minutes of waiting, Elton got out of the car and immediately hit Dito into the hotel.

And really, what Elton saw that night would probably be something that was hard to erase from his memory.

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

Sarah resigned. It failed. He failed to maintain his pride. He failed to protect himself. And even he failed to keep Elton's trust in him. While Dito was busy caressing her body with both hands, Sarah could only cry. His body was limp from head to toe. To shift was difficult especially willing to escape from that place.

"I'm sorry, El. Sorry I.." said Sarah softly while Dito still continuing his action.

But maybe this so-called destiny says something else. After Sarah's hopes seemed dashed, she heard the door of the room open. Just before Dito was about to begin his deed, a shout full of anger sounded from the direction of the door.

"Gram!"

A punch landed heavily on Dito's cheek. He fell down and grimaced in pain. Sarah knew that voice. The voice of the man he had always heard in a cheerful and tender tone, now sounded very angry. It was as if there was a million fury concentrated on that voice.

"Jeez Sarah, what's going on?" Elton was panicking.

"El. sorry..." Sarah could only speak softly among her cries.

Elton calmed Sarah down and grabbed her in his arms. His hand stroked Sarah's head while whispering the same word over and over again as if it were a spell.

"Udah, what's wrong. Now I'm here."

Dito stood in his place while groaning in pain. Elton's punch looked really hard and made the corners of his lips bleed.

"If you still love your face, don't think to run away, Dit. That's a small problem for me." Elton warned Dito sharply.

And it seems that Elton's threat is very potent. Who would not be afraid of someone twice the size of his body and who has a black belt? Only a fool would dare to do so.

Elton was furious, it felt like he wanted to beat Dito all out until people could not recognize the man anymore. But the woman in his arms, pulled up her sleeves with the rest of her strength while shaking weakly.

"Don't El.." said Sarah softly.

Two short words that came out of Sarah's mouth were able to extinguish the flames of Elton's anger instantly. If kryptonite is superman's weakness, then Sarah is Elton's weakness. And whatever Sarah asks, Elton will blindly follow her.

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

Elton and Dito sat across from each other in a restaurant. It's very late, maybe it's 1 p.m. But the business of both is not finished either. Sarah herself was too scared to see Dito. His mind kept on thinking about the traumatic event that hit him just now so Elton asked him to wait in the car while he solved the problem.

"What do you mean by all this, Dit?" Elton asked firmly.

Dito was silent. Elton kicked the table in front of him. His patience is over with everything that happened tonight.

"Bast jerk!" Grumpy Elton.

"Gue just wants Sarah and Ansel back with me! I don't want to lose them again, Ton!" Answer Dito.

"Lo forgot that you yourself threw them away, Dit?! You alone made them go from your life! And now you want to ask them to come back?! Lo crazy Dit!"

"Gue's sorry, Ton. Really. Please let Sarah and Ansel go back to me!" Dito Pinta.

Elton grunts violently.

"I'm not the one who deserves that, Dit. It all depends on Sarah and Ansel. From now on, you should never dare to bother the two of them again! This is the first and last time I've seen you. If you dare to act again, maybe I can't resist myself to finish lo, Dit." Threat Elton.

Elton left and left Dito. But as if remembering something, he came back to Dito.

"And please, move on and focus on your own life, Dit. Sarah and Ansel are happy with their lives now, and you should be." Elton said, leaving Dito.

Dito clenched his hands furiously. He won't let Elton take Sarah and Ansel out of his life. If Elton thinks he can start a new life with Dito's little family, then Elton is wrong. Dito will take back what belongs to him.

"Wait for you. I'll take what's mine."
