The Obsolete Bond
Contrition

Sarah and Elton are on their way to Saloka Theme Park. For some reason, his heart said that Dito took Ansel away. Dito's promise 10 years ago is still clearly imprinted on Sarah's head and possibly on Dito.

Halfway through, Sarah's phone rings. He was shocked to see the name of the caller and immediately picked it up.

"Who, Honey?" Elton asked curiously.

"Dito." Sarah answered before picking up the phone.

Sarah picked up the phone and without warning Dito immediately spoke.

"Sarah, Ansel is with me now." Dito.

"Where are you taking Ansel?" Ask Sarah again.

"You know the place." Dito sounded lethargic.

"Saloka?" Sarah tried to make sure.

"Yes." Yeah." Dito replied briefly and then disconnected the phone.

"Dito really take Ansel to Saloka?" Elton asked in disbelief.

Sarah nodded. His instincts were right and Dito took Ansel there to keep his promise.

Finally the four-wheeled machine arrived at the place Dito mentioned. Sarah got out of the car and immediately ran inside. But his steps stopped. His head felt full as if millions of memories from the past swarmed over to appear again. Without realizing it, her tears were pouring down her cheeks.

"Damn you Dito." Sarah said softly as she rubbed her tears violently.

Elton saw Sarah who suddenly stopped her steps and bowed.

"Why, Honey?" Tanya Elton approached Sarah.

Sarah just shook her head.

"Engga, it's nothing. Let's go find Ansel now, El." Sarah said as if nothing had happened

"Where should we go to Ansel, honey?" Elton asked while looking around.

There are so many people on the playground. Old, young, even children all spilled in one place. Tub looking for the needle in the haystack, it was really difficult to find Ansel and Dito among this crowd of people.

Sarah was silent for a moment. His brain tried to think hard about where Dito was taking Ansel. Then a possibility appeared in his head.

"Rubella, El. Dito must have taken Ansel there." Said Sarah.

Sarah and Elton spur their legs to run quickly to the bianglala vehicle. Time is rolling and the sky is turning red. The twilight is coming down and Sarah must find Ansel as soon as possible. And true to Sarah's guess, he saw Dito and Ansel standing in front of the ring. As if waiting for someone to come.

"Ansel!" Sarah shouted as she ran to her son.

"Mama!" Ansel chased after the mother who was crying happily.

Sarah hugged Ansel tightly. As if she was afraid of losing her son again. While Elton had lost his patience and immediately gripped the collar of the jacket Dito wore.

"What did I say, Dit?! I'm going to let you bother Sarah and Ansel again!" Elton was about to throw a punch in Dito's face.

But Ansel suddenly ran and hugged Elton's leg. His eyes were clear, asking Elton not to take the anarchist action.

"Don't, Pa! Ansel please! Papa is not a bad guy. Not yes Pa. Ansel was afraid to see Papa this way." Pinta Ansel really meant it.

Elton instantly dropped his clenched fist to the side of his body. Ansel successfully aborted all his anger with one look from his eyes. And perhaps Elton would never have been able to forgive himself if Ansel had been traumatized by seeing him beat Dito. A child as small as Ansel should not watch his two fathers wrestle over him.

"Sorry Papa yes, Ansel. Papa promised not to hit your Good Heart again." Elton hugged Ansel.

Sarah thinks Dito will act like a madman when Ansel runs back to her. But not. Dito just bowed lethargic as if he had experienced something that hurt his heart. Sarah wondered what really happened? Did Ansel say something so that Dito would react like that?

Dito walked over to Sarah, Elton, and Ansel. His face seemed to want to say something. But Dito undoes it.

"Can I ask you something?" Dito said doubtfully.

Hearing Dito's words, Elton immediately stood by one. He was afraid that the jerk in front of him was acting up again. But Sarah holds Elton's arm, preventing him from exploding in anger.

"May I take you and Ansel up the ring together? For the last time?" Dito Pinta.

Elton turned to Sarah. His expression showed as if he had heard the strangest proposal from a mad scientist. But Sarah nodded slowly. He tells Elton that everything will be fine.

"Ga nothing, El."

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

Sarah, Dito, and Ansel raise the ring. Like 10 years ago, they arrived at the top of the bianglala at 4 p.m. When the sky began to be reddish in color and the sight before the eyes looked absolutely stunning.

"You want us to come here a lot, Sar?" Dito asked as he looked far towards the sky.

"Inget, Dit. This was one of the dates I liked the most." Answer Sarah.

"You want me to promise you too, haven't I promised you?" Dito.

"If we get married and have children, I promise I'll take you and our son up here." Connect Dito.

Sarah nodded.

"Since when did our relationship become rich, Dit?" Sarah asked, looking.

No, Sarah cannot completely blame Dito for the destruction of her household. In the corner of her heart, Sarah felt she was also involved in all this. Sarah's stupidity forced Dito to marry Anggi until Sarah who was so naive to consider Anggi as his sister and could not possibly ruin his life. Or maybe it's all a game of fate. The two men are brought together and put together for so long, only for their marriage to end within 1 year.

"I don't know either, Sar." Dito replied while sighing softly.

Both of them were silent in silence and Ansel was only confused to listen to what the two adults nearby were talking about.

"I'm sorry I made all my mistakes during this time. Because I hurt you so badly. Because I have worried about your love. Because I left you when you needed me. I'm sorry for everything, Sar." Dito said regretfully.

Sarah's stunned. He looked at Dito. After 3 years of not meeting, only this time did he really look at Dito this deeply. Dito is not young now. Fine wrinkles had already started to appear on his face. Two strands of gray hair had already grown on his head. In his eyes, there was only regret left.

Sarah nodded.

"Dear Ansel, Mama wants to tell Ansel something." Said Sarah while holding Ansel.

"What Ma?" Ask Ansel curiously.

"Om in front of Ansel is Papa Ansel also lo. So from now on Ansel can call this Om Papa." Sarah said, pointing at Dito.

Ansel looked at Dito and Sarah alternately. His face was confused, not understanding his mother's intentions.

"But is Papa Ansel Papa Elton Ma?" Ask Ansel.

Sarah smile. It was funny to see the confused face of his son.

"From now on Ansel has two Papa tablets! Papa Elton and Papa Dito. Cool right? So Ansel could have a birthday twice, a gift twice, a walk twice. A lot of it!" Sarah convinced her son.

Ansel's eyes sparkle. The mind of a child is simple. Even something as complex as a biological father and father connect can be a simple thing if associated with a toy.

"Cool Ma! Ansel likes!" Ansel is happy.

"So now Om is Ansel's Papa too!" Ansel cried back while hugging Dito.

Dito caught Ansel in his arms. He hugged her very tightly. Without feeling the tears Dito dripped. He was happy that his son would accept himself with all his heart.

Dito moved his mouth without a sound. Gesticulating to Sarah that she felt grateful for the greatness of Sarah's heart.

"Thank you, yeah."
