I Borrowed Him
16 Hours Ago
Sixteen hours before Jester and Luna landed at France's Charles de Gaulle airport, an international airport that looks quite crowded. In one corner of the airport there is an office that looks lonely from the activities of people, in the closed office it looks Naomi, who is a, Luke and Grece were standing and facing Selena with angry faces. Justin is seen standing next to Selena to reinforce his position as a supporter of Selena, while Harry is still struggling in the toilet with abdominal pain due to the effects of laxatives.
"Selena!! explain what you're planning!!" naomi snapped with anger after Selena just stared silently at Naomi
"Well, maybe it's time you all knew.." with a sigh Selena said, Justin was surprised by what Selena said. When they heard the words that made Naomi, Luke, Grece frown, they felt that there was something Selena was hiding from them all.
"Hey, instead of Luna forbidding.." Justin hasn't finished talking, Selena cut.
"It's okay, it's enough to make a show. When he's not more than eight days away" Selena sounded sad, her head bowed. Seen tears that began to drip from Selena's eyes, her breathing also sounded difficult for her to set.
"Luna was actually very ill with leukemia. Eight days later she had to undergo surgical removal of the spleen and. The success of her surgery was only achieved..." Her voice was soft and barely clear due to her crying, but Selena's attempt to explain Luna's true state felt so intense. A reply that made Naomi, Luke, and Grece very surprised, they did not expect Luna who had always been smiling turned out to save suffering.
"But as long as you stay home.I don't see any sign of Luna.." Naomi hasn't finished speaking, Selena cut off.
"Times - the actual times he vomited blood but I always managed to wipe you and brother Jester, if you're aware.the bottles - the face care bottles he was carrying actually all contained medicine.... have you ever seen him do facial treatments even though he carries a lot of bottles of skin care?" selena asked, Naomi realized, immediately Naomi remembered all the moments when she was with Luna at her home.
"Don't lie!! I don't believe you!" luke's snapping was full of emotion
"Selena didn't lie, I already knew Luna was seriously ill before she even went to High School.that's why Luna rejected Jester's love statement.." Justin said, Luke was silent to Justin's words at the time.
"Luke, what mystery have you been trying to solve you already got the red thread? no one would have thought Luna would reject Jester but all the predictions were wrong" Justin continued to say the words and made Luke think hard trying to find a gap that Justin was lying, but he did not have any idea to refute Justin's words.
"Selena.. is that why you.." Naomi hasn't finished talking, Selena cut.
"Yes, not because she was going to move out of the country, but. she knew the time was really limited.." as if knowing what Naomi was going to ask, Selena immediately chimed in on Naomi's words. Silence was created for a while until Harry came out of the toilet, he heard all their talk and immediately wanted to chimed in Selena's words.
"Hey Selena! I can't believe it!! how could a seriously ill person be discharged from the hospital?! aren't her parents worried about her situation?!!" harry snapped with a slight moaning in pain, seeing Harry coming out of the bathroom making Luke run into the toilet.
"Selena's father and mother are very worried, but Luna says she wants to make her dream come true for last... the team of doctors were unable to stem Luna's strong desire and let her out of the hospital with full supervision, but she.... desperate for her own health, she chose never to set foot in the hospital again." replied Selena flatly.
"Then we met Luna's parents. Only then can we trust your words!" with a little bit of a snatch Harry said it
"I'd prefer it to be your decision, but I won't let you out of here until the last flight to France leaves" Selena said.
"Not until it's like that, I won't catch up with them. Can we go now? i... really want to know the truth" said Naomi trying to convince Selena that they would let Jester and Luna go together, Selena was looking at Naomi with doubt.
"Are you really not going to catch up with them?" selena asked to confirm, Naomi nodded her head several times. Selena was so afraid that Luna's plan would fail, even though Selena did cruel things like this to her friends, including her own friends. All for the sake of Luna, she did not want to regret in her entire life and she wanted to give her best for Luna as the friend she so dearly cherished.
"Promise, you'll also promise Harry, Grece?" naomi asked as she looked at Harry and Grece in turn, nodding her head in agreement.
Among Naomi, Grece, Harry and Luke at that time, only Naomi seemed sincere to trust Selena. In her heart felt the pain Selena felt when she knew she would lose Luna for a long time, it was this that made Naomi heartened to let Luna and Jester together in France to fulfill their promise both of them ever spoken. Naomi realizes that only she can stop Luke and Harry if they're going to do something about it, he also thought he had to be as strong as possible to convince Jester's friend that he was okay.
Slowly Selena turned around and would open her door doubtfully, but in the end Selena opened the door with a sigh. When the door opened, Selena turned her back to look at her friends.
"You promised me. Don't bother Luna for the next few days, I beg you" asked Selena expectantly, and she smiled at Selena.
"No one will and if any of us do it, I'll get in the way myself" Naomi said, and they all walked out of the room and looked for a taxi to return to Jester and Naomi's house.
An hour's drive they needed to get to Jester and Naomi's house, where Naomi, Grece, Selena, Justin and Harry walked into the house and gathered in the family room. Naomi also served green tea to her friends, silence among them all Naomi started a chat.
"Selena... Where's Luna's house? why doesn't he have a cell phone and.... Grece told me that Luna was a finalist in talent search, is that true?" asked Naomi, had been silent for a moment while enjoying the tea made by Naomi finally Selena began to explain.
"Haah.the story is very long, it all began when Luna was hesitant to choose to accompany Jester's brother in time or leave Jester's brother so that he immediately sought his successor. Luna asked her parents to move house so that Jester lost track, sold her phone and deactivated social media, and finally realized her dream of becoming a singer" Selena replied sounding sad
"But in the middle he was almost reaching his dream.He still felt empty, he was not calm when he remembered how evil he was towards Brother Jester. That's the reason why he arrived - suddenly resigned from the talent show suddenly, your meeting with Luna.
"We will soon be heading to Luna's house, her parents will explain everything to you and I really hope to all of you... she was struggling with her illness and realized her last true dream - a promise that Jester and Luna had made." Selena's tears flowed when she said it, selena's sadness at that time made Naomi, Grece, and Harry feel that this is not playing.
Suddenly everything was silent in the midst of Selena's cries, Naomi who felt the most grimness of Selena because she also eventually became one of Luna's friends and felt the warmth of Luna's figure. Naomi approached Selena and embraced while stroking her back to give peace to Selena, amid the silence Harry's phone suddenly rang a sign there was a phone coming in. Harry saw who called him and it was Luke
***
"Damn it!! where are you?! why am I left behind?!" luke snapped full of anger, immediately Naomi, Selena, Grece, Justin and even Harry himself just remembered since Luke was not around them.
"Well, sorry Luke, I was so shocked by Selena's words that I forgot about you" Harry replied flatly
"We are still gathered at Jester's house, we intend to go to Luna's house after this" Harry replied
"All right, I'm there" Luke said, after which the phone was disconnected
***
For an hour they all waited for Luke to come home, after Luke until they left for Luna's house using Mercedes Benz v260. In a housing that looks simple, Mercedes Benz V260 stops in one of the minimalist house that looks simple. They almost simultaneously got out of the car and walked towards the courtyard of the house, Selena also knocked on the door of the house several times and not long the main door of the house was open.
"Eeh Selena.." Lisa looked surprised as she looked at Selena with many people coming to Lincoln's house.
"Miss Lincoln... I brought Luna friends who may have heard her name from Luna" said Selena, immediately Lisa looks happy and her smile was glaring at Naomi, Luke, Harry, and Grece in turn.
"Are you not supposed to go to Paris? Luna says she's going to Paris with her good friends" sounds good to Lisa, but Lisa's smile at the time wasn't greeted with a smile back from Naomi, Luke, Harry, Grece and Justin.
"I think I know what made you come here." Lisa's smile faded when she realized that they were all aware of Luna's true state, with a gesture, Lisa invites them all to enter the house.
In the guest room they all sat in the available seats, Lisa also served some cookies and drinks and then she sat next to Selena. At that time no one seemed to want to start the conversation, until not long after John entered the house after returning from work all day. John was surprised to find his house suddenly crowded visitors, but after seeing the whereabouts of Selena and Justin at that time John seemed to know what brought them all to visit Luna's house.
"All of you must be Luna's friends who she told me about these endings, welcome to our humble home" John seemed happy to say
"Well, I forgot to introduce you, Mr and Mrs Lincoln. From left it's Naomi, Grece, Luke, and Harry. and you're Luna's father and mother..." selena said introducing them all, at that time John was sitting next to Lisa.
"Luna said she was going to Paris with you guys, what happened and where was Luna?" asked John curiously
"Luna's gone with Jester, does Mr. John know Jester?" selena asked, John was surprised.
"Yeah... son of Mr. William Gates, Miss Selena why can Luna be with young Mr Gates?" john asked in surprise, Selena looked at Naomi
"I think Naomi deserves to answer that question, Naomi, are you willing to explain it?" selena asked Naomi, John and Lisa looked at Naomi with worried faces.
"Well, before me.." Naomi had not finished talking suddenly - John and Lisa simultaneously bowed their heads towards Naomi and made Naomi surprised.
"I'm sorry our son. I know you're young Miss Scott, you and young master Jester are getting married and it looks like Luna made a mistake" John said.
"Aahs.. Eeh no, you misunderstand me. I allowed Luna to ride with Jester" Naomi's timpal was surprised, as John and Lisa looked at Naomi in surprise.
"Look, sir and Miss Lincoln..I came here because I heard that Luna has leukemia? because... I. I really can not believe the story.." asked Naomi sound sad, at that time John and Lisa sighed almost simultaneously.
"That's right young Miss Scott, Luna has had leukemia since she was third grade Junior High" john replied, trying hard, at once Luke and Harry were bowed regretting thinking bad about Luna.
"I'm sorry but.... Why don't you take care of Luna at Scott's hospital? however, Scott's hospital was the best one up until now" a bit of pressure on Naomi to say it
"Papa has brought Luna there and the results... Luna was declared incurable." replied Selena.
"Luna underwent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, taking countless drugs, and radiotherapy at Scott's hospital until Luna finally gave up" Lisa was crying over the words Selena, when Selena who was next to Lisa was immediately stroking Lisa's back to calm her down.
Instantly the atmosphere became haru and full of tears, even Grece who was fairly new to and close to Luna. None of Naomi, Luke, Harry and Grece believe the cheerful woman is battling a chronic illness. While the memories of each togetherness with Luna were reflected in their memories, the hearts of Naomi and Selena were most broken at that time. For Naomi, Luna is the only person who is able to help her rise up after the incident with Daniel and make her no doubt about Jester's love.
Similarly, Luke and Harry are seen bowed with their arms propping up their heads, their mistake once provoked Jester to hate Luna is very much in their memory. Even when Luna wanted to realize her last dream they had become a hindrance, if they knew that Luna was struggling between life and death of course they would support Luna.
"When first grade High School he decided to stop going through all that therapy and asked the doctor that he be given a drug that could make him activity.... and at that time Luna said that she was in love with someone, whether I should be happy or sad" John continued Lisa's words that were interrupted because she was crying, and she was crying, Naomi looked saddened to hear the story.
"A few days ago Luna was unconscious again for a few days.... maybe young Miss Scott knows that Luna did not stay at your home and since then Luna was declared to have to immediately perform surgical removal of the swollen spleen... he wasn't supposed to wander around like this but he wanted to enjoy the rest of his life by fulfilling the promise of no regrets. Please forgive my son because the man who tied the promise is your future husband young Miss Scott" John bowed his head again after saying so
Luna's father and mother who tried to look strong was now no longer able to show his firmness, he said, John and Lisa are seen crying after telling the child's last wish that only wayangnya that makes them unable to talk anymore and that there is now only the memory of his son who re-shadowed in their minds. To them, Luna was a figure they loved very much.
Struggles to cure Luna they did as much as possible, until finally Luna who felt desperate and preferred to run to reach her dreams. Although heavy-hearted, they also allow Luna to reach a dream because they are convinced with the spirit that might make Luna recover from her illness and survive the deadly disease. Luna's joy when one by one her dreams are realized makes John and Lisa happy, even though they know that the three of them will soon be separated.
"So it turns out like that." Naomi said it and her eyes began to look glassy, glassy, taking a deep breath - Naomi began looking at her phone and tracking the landing schedule of the plane that Jester and Luna were boarding.
"Live four more hours until Luna and Jester land.I have to do something to get Jester to do what he's supposed to do" Naomi murmured.
