The Obsolete Bond
New Games Dito

The events of that night were very bad memories for Sarah. Over the next few days, the tragedy repeated itself in Sarah's mind. He came every night in the form of a nightmare. Even Sarah could still hear Dito's cold and horrible laughter in her ears. He could feel Dito's hand exploring his body forcibly.

For days, Sarah was forced to fight with insomnia because she was afraid to see the incident in her dreams again.

"You're still a nightmare, honey?" Elton asked because he saw Sarah who looked sleep deprived lately.

Sarah nodded slowly.

"You want us to go to the doctor, honey? Or to a hypnotherapist? I'm worried about you, honey." Elton said, tucking Sarah's hair behind her ear.

Eventually Sarah succumbs to Elton's persuasion and goes to a hypnotherapist to relieve her trauma. Like physical injuries that require external medicine, psychic wounds also need to be treated. And fortunately the therapy that Sarah went through showed good results. The nightmare slowly went away and Sarah was able to sleep well again.

But there hasn't been a bright day in the dictionary of his life since Dito's arrival. Only one event was completed, another event re-emerged in his life. And the main culprit of course is Dito.

Ansel came home from school with a face. His hands carried a sophisticated and slick robot. Sarah was confused to see the toy her son was holding. He never bought Ansel the toy.

"Dear Ansel, is the school fun today?" Ask Sarah.

Ansel nodded enthusiastically.

"Seru Ma! So exciting!" Answer Ansel.

"Where's Ansel's robot toy coming from? Did you get a teacher?" Sarah said as she pointed at the robot Ansel was holding.

Ansel shook his head.

"Confidential, Ma!" Ansel exclaimed as he placed his index finger on his lips.

Sarah laughs. Maybe the toy was given by one of his friends who just came home from the streets. Or maybe one of Ansel's teachers gave it to him because Ansel was behaving well today. Sarah thinks it's just a past wind and it's not important.

But what Sarah initially only considered as trivial, over time increasingly made him worried. Because Ansel always brings a new toy every time he comes home from school. Sometimes when Sarah picks him up, Ansel gets out of school with the toy. Sarah gets confused because who is a loyal stranger enough to reward someone else's child every day? Sarah's worried that this person actually wants something else from Ansel.

That day, as usual Ansel came home with a new toy. This time he got a dinosaur action figure with a size large enough. In one look even Sarah knew that the toy was not worth cheap. Sarah called Ansel, intending to ask about the toy.

"Dear thing, Mama can ask you something?" Sarah asked, taking Ansel to play.

Ansel nodded.

"Who loves Ansel's toys every day? It's a really good game, lo." Connect Sarah.

And again Ansel gave the same signal. Pasting her index finger to the lips was a secret.

"That's okay, say it to Mama. You want to say thank you to the person who loves Ansel toys." Persuade Sarah.

But Ansel was firm with his answer.

"Omm? Who's it, honey?" Sarah was curious.

"Good Om who loves Ansel toys. It's a secret, Ma." Ansel answered his mother's question.

Sarah remained silent. Who's the guy? The man Ansel called Om Baik Hati, who continued to shower Ansel with new toys every day. Could it be that the man was Dito? But Elton had warned Dito so hard that he would not bother Sarah and Ansel again. Did Dito break his own promise despite being threatened by Elton?

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

It's been the last few weeks that Mama Sarah picked Ansel up from school. Because Sarah was quite busy with the preparation of her marriage with Elton who was getting closer. But the events that occurred in recent weeks make Sarah worried about the state of Ansel. New toys that he carries every day and Om Baik Hati who often invites Ansel to play. Both of these things really upset Sarah's mind.

So that day, Sarah decides to take Ansel to her own school. A few minutes into her car, Sarah arrives at Ansel's school. He waited where the parents were waiting. Time passed but Sarah did not also see Ansel out of her class. 10 minutes. 20 minutes. Up to 30 minutes and almost all of Ansel's classmates have gone home but Ansel never found.

Sarah panic. He immediately found Ansel's homeroom teacher. Ask where her son is.

"Sorry Miss Ranti, can I know where Ansel is?" Sarah asked the female teacher she met.

"Loh, didn't Ansel let you go home first, Ma? Ansel was picked up by his father he said today Ansel's permission because there was a family event, Ma." Miss Ranti explained.

Sarah's heart is broken. His heart seemed to fall from its place. Where is ansel? Who picked him up? Sarah panic. Only fear was in his heart. He was afraid that something bad might happen to Ansel. He fears Ansel is kidnapped and Sarah will lose her most precious treasure forever.

"Who picked up Ansel Ma? No way her dad's picking up Ansel! I know I'm a single parent!" Sarah's crying broke. He was confused where to look for his son.

"Oh my God, but I'm sure that guy was Ansel Ma's dad. Because his face looks so much like Ansel, so Ansel I let go home the same person earlier. Oh my goodness, Ma. Let's go find Ansel together, Ma!" Miss Ranti panicked.

"Wait a minute, Mom. What did Mom say? The guy who picked up Ansel looks like Ansel?" Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing.

Miss Ranti nodded.

"I know who it is, Mom. Thank you, Miss Ranti, I'll take care of you." Sarah immediately ran back to her car.

Dito was his culprit. Sarah believes Dito picked up Ansel and took her somewhere. Who else would look like Ansel if not his own father the jerk? Dito is crazy! What was he thinking that he dared to take Ansel without Sarah's knowledge?

Sarah dialed Dito's number. Trying to reach him. The number is inactive. Only the operator answered. Sarah's cry did not stop because panic had enveloped her heart. He doesn't know who to ask but Elton. Sarah called her boyfriend.

"Why Honey?" Elton asked when he got Sarah's call.

"Ansel, El.." answered Sarah stammeringly.

Elton panicked at Sarah's crying voice. What happened to Ansel so Sarah cried like this?

"Ansel kidnapped Dito, El.." said Sarah finally.
