The Obsolete Bond
Enchanted
Anggi arrived early at Dito's office. He can't wait for his official trip today with Dito. For five more hours he will be with Dito. That means Anggi can happily wonder about her.
Shortly after, a white pajero entered the office. Anggi can already guess who is driving the car because the previous project head was using the same service car. A man got out of the car. Ditto.
Dito looks different from yesterday. Today he was wearing more casual clothes. Jeans and polo shirts are dark green. Such casual clothing practically made Dito look as young as his age. Dito's proportionate body looks like a model advertising the outfit in a magazine. Anggi who saw it was even more fascinated with the man in front of him.
"We're leaving Anggi?" Tanya Dito resuscitated her daydream.
Anggi blinked his eyes. He nodded and followed Dito into his car. Anggi sat next to the driver's seat, right next to Dito. He thanked God for this opportunity because he could contently steal a glance at Dito.
During the trip, Anggi and Dito talked to each other a lot. Mostly just talk about work. A lot of Dito asked because he had just moved to the Ambon office. And it also seems that Dito wants to keep his boundaries in professional relationships only. But Anggi did not give up. He has fallen too much into Dito's charm that he will not just back down.
"By the way, Mr. Dito was born in what year? Rich is young sir." Anggi asked curiously.
Dito laughed crisply. My God, even this guy's laugh sounds wonderful, Anggi thought.
"According to Anggi what year?" Dito asked again.
"Ummm... 92 huh?" Anggi guess.
"Less precise, go up a little bit. I was born 90 Mommy." Dito answered again.
"That means 32 years?" Anggi looked surprised by Dito's reply.
"Hahaha yes Ma'am. Wh why? Is it older, huh?" Dito laughed grimly.
"Thank you sir, even look younger. But I was shocked. You are only 32 years old but have been the head of the project 3 times. Could be the Chief of his rich branch, sir." Canda Anggi to Dito.
"Kalo Mbak Anggi, how old is he now?" Now Dito asked Anggi.
"I'm 26 now, sir. It's old, isn't it?" Anggi replied with a smile.
"Ah too. Not yet 50 yes not old dong Mbak. Means we're only 6 years old huh Ma'am?" dito replied while muttering.
Anggi nodded happily. He was pleased that Dito responded enthusiastically to his conversation.
"Yes, don't call me sir. Call me Mas Dito. Let's not be stiff." Dito.
Anggi's heart is flowery. Could this be the green light for him to cross the line of professionalism? Could this mean that there was a chance for him to get closer to Dito? To be something other than a co-worker?
"It's like Mas Dito can call me Anggi. No need to use Mbak Anggi. I'm younger." Anggi replied cheerfully.
Dito smile. A sign that he agreed to the deal.
"By the way, Dito, it's 12 o'clock. How are we going to have lunch first? Will you go to Buru?" Anggi offers Dito.
Dito glanced at his watch.
"Gosh, I forgot about time. Well, we can eat first Anggi."
Anggie? Wah is very beautiful it feels Anggi name chanted by the melodious voice of Dito. He never thought that a short call could turn his heart upside down in one try.
Anggi and Dito stop at a restaurant. Not too big, but pretty crowded. This restaurant is a recommendation restaurant Anggi, the akamsi who was born and raised in Ambon. His whole life has been spent exploring all corners of Sulawesi. And Anggi is really enthusiastic about introducing all things about Sulawesi to Dito.
"We eat here. I guarantee Mas Dito likes his food." Anggi ceria.
The two entered the restaurant and ordered some food. 15 minutes later, their order came and was served before them. And just like Anggi said, Dito really liked the food in that place.
"Where is the food?" Anggi asked curiously.
"Enak! It's really delicious. I like!" Said Dito while eating voraciously.
After finishing eating, Dito immediately walked towards the cashier. I want to pay for food, apparently. Anggi hurriedly chased after him.
"Mas Dito, let me pay."
Dito refused and hinted Anggi to reinsert his wallet.
"That's nothing, Anggi. Let me pay."
"Mas Dito, my meal money was let me change? I transferred to Mas Dito's account?"
"Think about it, Anggi. Reluctant nothing. It's my responsibility as a man to eat women, to make it, right?" Dito answered.
Anggi. Confused what to answer.
"Udah, your money is saved. Make your needs more important." Dito replied with a smile.
Ah, it feels like for a long time Anggi can lose his sanity if continuously treated like this. Full of tenderness and attention. Something new for the first time Anggi felt from the many relationships he had gone through.
Upon arrival in Buru, Anggi and Dito were busy conducting field surveys related to the bridge construction site. Anggi busy taking notes and photographing various corners and facets of the building. Make a brief report that will be explained later after he arrived home and tidied up his report.2 hours they went around the location, finally Anggi finished doing a survey.
Dito glanced at his watch. At 4pm. Today's weather is just too good to pass up.
"The end of this is no promise?" Ask Dito to Anggi.
"Ga there is Mas. Why mother?" Anggi asked Dito.
"We're going to yuk beach. Nearby is a pretty nice beach. His name is the beach." said Dito while remembering something.
"Lala Beach?" Anggi.
"Yes, Lala Beach. How's it? Wanna there?" Dito.
Anggi nodded happily. He was increasingly convinced that his chance to get close to Dito was getting bigger. There's no harm in going to the beach after work, right? The weather is good and he will go with the person he likes. How could Anggi refuse it?
...****************...
Anggi and Dito finally arrived at Lala Beach after driving for approximately 15 minutes. Dito immediately took Anggi down. Anggi who had not been to the beach for a long time immediately ran happily. Once he found the right spot, he immediately dropped his butt and sat down on the fine sand of the beach. Anggi closed his eyes and let the sea breeze blow his face.
"Like a coconut?" Dito's voice resuscitated Anggi.
Anggi opened his eyes and saw Dito sitting next to him while thrusting a young coconut that had been peeled. He accepted it with pleasure and immediately sipped it.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh... Freshly. Thanks to Mas Dito for his sheep."
Dito just nodded and smiled. His eyes were far away looking at the endless ocean. I don't know what's in Dito's head until it's that late in his mind.
"Do you know why I took you to the beach?" Tanya Dito broke the silence.
"Why?" Anggi asked back.
"There's nothing, hahaha. Only the weather is good again, and the wealth you also seem tired and tired. That's why I thought maybe going to the beach could help you get rid of your stress." Dito replied while still looking out at the high seas.
Crazy one! It's a big blow to Anggi. He is absolutely inferior to the charm of Dito. He falls in love and may never rise again to love another person. No one had ever paid such attention to her. Even his parents were so cold to him. But Dito, the man he had only met for two days, could already catch a sense of tiredness and saturation just by looking at his face. And even invite Anggi to relax and relieve his stress. God, how perfect was this man before him? What should he do to get his heart and make Dito his?
Anggi. He hesitated to ask a question that had been bothering him all along. But he must ask. Anggi does not want to rely on false expectations. He wants certainty so that he can confidently step up. Either it's chasing his love. Or running away leaving him.
"I'm sorry if it sounds personal. But can I ask you something?"
"Ask what?" Dito turned his head and immediately looked into Anggi's eyes.
My God, Anggi thought how beautiful these two eyeballs staring at him were. Is it a sin if he wants to enjoy this gaze for himself for the rest of his life?
"Dito has a wife or girlfriend?"
Dito laughing. A laugh that is difficult to interpret by Anggi. He was never good at translating things like this. Really am!
"You think?" Dito laughed again.
"Yet?" Ask Anggi to clarify the question.
Dito answered briefly while smiling faintly.
"Yes, not yet."
