The Obsolete Bond

The Obsolete Bond
Turning Point


I'm pregnant with Mas Dito's son, Ma'am...


Sarah blinked her eyes in disbelief. What did he just read this? His heart was like being snatched by an invisible hand and stopped just like that. Who is this girl? What does his word mean?


Don't joke, Ma'am. I'm Dito's wife, what does it mean Mbak said that?


His hands were shaking violently. Sarah is constantly hoping that all this is prank and this girl is just working on it.


"Yes! Let's go! There's been a boarding call!" Dito shouted Sarah from her daydream.


Sarah looks. She looked at her husband carefully. It was unlikely that the man he had known as someone innocent could commit such a betrayal to Sarah. Sarah closed her eyes for a moment. It was like a ton of rocks were weighing down his head.


"For now, I prefer to believe Dito.." murmured Sarah while turning off her phone.


Dito immediately took Sarah's hand and asked her to walk towards the boarding gate. Their plane to Semarang is about to leave. But Sarah's mind did not stop raging. Each question attacked him just because of one short message from Anggi


He kept hoping that the thing he feared the most would not happen. I do not know how many hundred strands of prayer he mentioned along the way home. His mind could not calm down and only wanted to know one thing. The truth about a woman named Anggi.


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


"What if I go to Ambon?" Ask Sarah before going to bed.


Dito silent. Either because he did not hear Sarah's words, or he chose not to answer them.


"Which?" Ask Sarah back.


"Eh yeah?" Dito was awakened from his daydream.


"Where? I didn't get a mutation to Ambon? I can't if we have to LDM Yang! Why is it marriage but still far away?" Sarah reiterated.


Dito seemed confused to answer Sarah's question. Actually that's not the only reason Sarah wants to move to Ambon. There was a big question he had to figure out for himself. And to find him, he had to go to that city. The town where the woman named Anggi is located.


"Yes gapapa Yang, but do not suddenly gini. I don't ask permission to take my wife to my boss. You also have to pass the mutation to the office, right?" Answer Dito.


"Okay, no problem. Tomorrow I'll start filing the file. You're going home tomorrow to Ambon?"


"So Yang, my plane's at 10 in the morning."


"Okay, I'll be with you later. Now you sleep, let's have bad luck tomorrow! Good night~" said Sarah while kissing Dito.


Actually, Sarah was very afraid to make this decision. But he cannot continue to live in lies and question marks. The messages from Anggi did not convince him enough of what was really going on.


Sarah peered towards Dito who seemed to have fallen asleep. He opened his Instagram, checking messages from Anggi. Apparently the girl sent quite a lot of messages during Sarah's drive home earlier.


Yes, it is true, Ma. I'm not kidding. Now I am 4 months pregnant, son of Mas Dito.


Sorry if I surprised Sister Sarah, but I was also confused about how she should be. Because Mas Dito couldn't get in touch since a month ago.


So I thought, maybe Sister Sarah can help me in this matter.


Duars! Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight. Heart hurts. So hurt. Like a thousand knives hitting him at the same time. Four months? That means when Dito was in Ambon? Did this betrayal happen when Dito started to turn out to be very hard to reach? When Dito was placed in a place that he said was "rubber"?


Questions covered Sarah's mind. Thousands if, perhaps, and whether it was thrown from the bottom of his heart. He asked Dito directly about the truth. But he was afraid. He was afraid that Dito would be honest and that everything would be ruined. But he also fears that Dito is lying and covering everything up, while Sarah and Anggi are trapped in a nameless relationship full of lies.


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


"Sarah's sister, called Mr. Bowo into her room." Dyas, Mr. Bowo's secretary delivered a message to Sarah.


"It must be about filing mutations." Inner Sarah.


He stepped into the room of Mr. Bowo, the head of the branch of the Bank where he worked. A few days ago, Sarah applied for the mutation on the grounds of joining her husband to his office. Sarah really hopes that her mutational application can be approved and she can move to Ambon with Dito.


"Sarah's sister, yesterday made a plea for mutation, huh?" Ask Mr. Bowo to Sarah.


"Yes sir." Sarah answered briefly.


"With reason to join the husband? What does her husband do?" Mr. Bowo asked again.


"I happen to have seen his request, yes because of his reason for wanting to join my husband so I helped take care of it. Because you are newlyweds, it must be very difficult if separated like this. Haha." Mr. Bowo laughed melting the atmosphere.


"So I've cross checked to KCU Ambon, and fortunately RM's position there is also empty. So my Mommy mutation acc yes." Connect Mr. Bowo.


Sarah sumringah's smile. It's like a durian collapsing! Her mutation request was approved! That means Sarah can soon stay one roof with Dito. And that means Sarah can figure out the answers to her questions.


"So when can I start moving sir?" Sarah asked Mr. Bowo.


"in 2 weeks you have to start reporting and working at KCU Ambon huh Mbak. So the preparation can start from now." Mr. Bowo reminded Sarah with a smile.


"Good Sir! Thank you Mr Bowo! Thanks very much!" Sarah was happy.


"Yes, both Sister Sarah. Happy new life with her husband!" Mr. Bowo congratulated Sarah.


Mr. Bowo is the best boss. He always helps his subordinates especially for bureaucratic affairs like this. Maybe if not helped by Mr. Bowo, maybe Sarah's mutation submission was rejected.


Sarah told Dito through whatsapp. Since returning to Ambon, Dito has become easier to contact than before. But still, Sarah couldn't just call him right away.


Which, my mutation in acc is the same Mr. Bowo. Next week I leave for Ambon and you will!


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


For the first time Sarah has been separated so far from her family. From birth to this size, Sarah has never been away from her mother and sister. So moving to Ambon is a new thing from his life. Now he wanders the land of the people with no one by his side except Dito.


Sarah spread her gaze across the terminal of arrival. She was looking for her husband who promised to pick her up. About 5 minutes he was walking around, he heard a very familiar voice calling his name.


"Whoo! Right here! I'm here!" A man's voice called out to Sarah.


He looked towards the source of the voice. Sarah found Dito standing there. His face looked at his wife who was coming.


"Ditoooo!!!" Sarah hugged her husband while running.


Just a week they were separated as husband and wife, but it seems that the longing in the hearts of the two has been very strong. It is true, people say, life after marriage is very different. Which usually the longing can still be treated, when married it feels very difficult to be away from the beloved partner.


"How are you, Yang?" Dito asked looked at Sarah with a flowering feeling.


"I was sick yesterday" said Sarah moody.


Dito looked worried.


"What pain? How come you told me the same story?" Dito asked Sarah.


"Sick kangen! Ahaha!" Sarah pranks Dito.


Dito laughing. He had thought Sarah was covering something turned out to be just one of Sarah's many crisp jokes.


"Come with me, Miss Sarah, let me take you to Mr. Dito's residence." Said Dito jokingly while holding Sarah.


They both got into Dito's car. The car immediately drove down the highway to the official house that Dito had been living in. Approximately 1 hour the iron train wheel was rolling, Dito and Sarah finally arrived at the intended house.


The house, which Sarah had only seen through video calls and photos, was now in front of her. Sarah screamed happily. Eventually he was able to stay with Dito and actually start his new life as a husband and wife.


"This is our room, the only one I empty anyway. Make our child or later if for example there are guests." Dito explained his house.


Sarah just nodded at Dito's explanation. Other purposes to Ambon must be carried out immediately. Find out the real truth. Because honestly, even until this moment Sarah still believes fully in Dito. And he believes the girl named Anggi is just one of those irresponsible girls who are trying to make a mess in other people's households.


"You I live alone gapapa huh? I have to go back to Yang's office again." Said Dito while moving Sarah's suitcase into the room.


"No problem. But maybe I'll take a walk out, okay? My boss, there are some things I have to buy." Sarah answered while unpacking her things.


"Okay, no problem Yang. Just tell me if you want to go. Who knows I could get you anther! Hye!" Pamit Dito kissing his wife's forehead.


Sarah waved her hand as she watched Dito's car disappear behind a corner of the road. As soon as the white car disappeared, Sarah directly pressed several numbers on her phone. Contacting someone.


"Halo Mbak Anggi, I'm Sarah. I am now in Ambon. Can we meet?"
