I Borrowed Him

There's Still Hope

In the afternoon before dusk in Paris, France, one of the hotels near the Eiffel Tower that looks crowded with visitors. Jester was seen coming out of the elevator and immediately stepped onto one of the hotel's sofas, where he sat staring at the screen waiting for Luna. For an hour Jester waited but Luna did not go down, her feelings were restless but she did not have access to the floor of Luna's room to pick her up. Because of his feelings of worry, Jester took the initiative to ask for access to Luna's room at the reception.

(italics using conversation with French)

"Hello, I'm from room 410 on behalf of Jester Gates. I want access to my friend's room at number 320 on behalf of Luna Lincoln" Jester told the receptionist

"Well, wait a minute" said the receptionist and called one of the guards there, Jester was directed to follow the guard to the third floor.

Jester and the guard were on the third floor, after the elevator door opened Jester immediately headed for Luna's room. In front of the door to room number 320, Jester knocked several times, but Luna did not open the door to the room. Jester's feelings were increasingly worried, in his mind began to think of strange things that might happen to Luna and one of them was Luna slipped in the bathroom.

Deftly Jester ran back to get off the lobby floor, where Jester immediately told the receptionist to open Luna's room because she felt worried. Accompanied by several people, Jester and the attendant headed to Luna's room with the room access key. After arriving in front of the room, the officer had knocked on the door several times and still did not get an answer. The officers were forced to open the room and how shocked they all saw blood spots on the floor of the room, Jester and some of the officers followed a trail of blood that started from the bathroom to near the mattress.

Next to Jester's bed saw Luna lying on the floor covered in blood that could be seen coming out of her mouth and nose while holding the phone algae, Jester approaches Luna and tries to figure out what happened to Luna, but she has no idea. Officers there immediately called the nearest hospital, panic ensued immediately.

Not long after the ambulance arrived and Luna was immediately taken to the nearest hospital, Jester followed Luna in the ambulance and saw the health workers do first aid to Luna with the maximum. A few minutes passed with tension in the ambulance and they were all in the hospital, where Luna was immediately taken to the ER for immediate help. Jester who was confused by what happened could only sit in the waiting room of the ER, his body trembling because he remembered when he saw Luna covered in blood.

After being able to calm down, Jester pulled out his phone from his pocket and immediately made a call to Naomi that said 'My Love'. After a long wait, Naomi finally picked up her phone.

***

"Yes hello.." said Naomi sound soft and hoarse because she just woke up from her sleep.

"Na.. Naomi! how awful! I don't know what happened to Luna, but it's a terrible wait!!" jester panicked, hearing Jester's panic immediately made Naomi conscious from her sleep.

"Jess is calm.. I know you're panicking, but can you tell me what's really going on?" ask Naomi who can feel the overwhelming panic on Jester, but Naomi tries to calm down so that Jester's panic can be overcome. Hearing Naomi's words, Jester also set his breath to try to make himself calmer.

"Luna, she fainted with a dab of blood that was seen coming out of her nose and mouth. I don't know what happened to him, he's in the hospital and he's in the ER. I'm.." Jester hasn't finished talking, Naomi cut in because she realized Jester's fear and panic were coming back. Naomi who first knew the condition of Luna, with a heavy heart began to try to explain to Jester.

"Jess... calm down, okay. I have to tell you something important and it has to do with Luna.." Naomi sounds sad to say it, Jester was confused by Naomi's words.

"Is there a.. that you know and I don't?" jester asked in astonishment, Naomi heard sighing for a moment.

"Luna... has Leukemia and she has a worrying life expectancy.." Naomi explained Luna's true circumstances to Jester with great sadness, naomi's hoarse voice was heard from crying but Naomi's breath was heard from behind the phone as if trying to stay strong so that Jester did not become more panicked. Naomi's answer at that time made Jester petrified and shocked, Jester's panic turned into sadness that suddenly penetrated his heart and mind.

"The reason Luna used to reject you was because she knew about her illness and her short life expectancy and now she just wants to complete all the promises you ever made... she has no regrets in her life" Naomi continues her words because Jester only fell silent after knowing the truth about Luna, hearing Naomi's words made Jester feel weak all over her body as if her spirit evaporated just like that.

"You... know where...?" ask Jester

"Luna's parents told me everything... Jess, how's Luna doing? do we need to go there after you?" naomi asked sound worried and implied sadness

"No need, I'll call papa's pilot to pick us up on a private jet" jester replied sounding calm but Naomi knew Jester was trying not to cry

"Well, I understand..Tomorrow I have permission to go to my father's house, I want to ask his permission to enter Luna to Scott's hospital with the best care" Naomi said.

"I'll make sure it's here.I'll tell you later" Jester said, then hung up.

***

For a moment Jester stared at the cellphone screen and saw the reflection of his face, at that time the memory of Luna was imagined. His movements, his voice when talking and laughing, his smile, and all the soft touches Luna that Jester had ever felt. Not feeling Jester tears dripping down his cheeks, his mind was confused and as if his heart was struggling when he knew Luna would be gone from Jester's life for a long time.

His chest felt tight as he recalled how he had treated Luna badly since she was back in his life, there was only rejection and anger that Jester often showed in front of Luna all this time. The regret suddenly filled the recesses of Jester's heart, he was daydreaming staring at the floor.

"You're with a patient named Luna Lincoln?" ask a nurse who broke Jester's daydream, Jester who had been daydreaming was surprised when someone was very close in front of him.

"Yes, how's it going?" jester said as he wiped the tears that were still left on his cheeks.

"The doctor wants to talk to you, please come with me" the nurse replied, Jester stood up and immediately followed where the nurse was walking.

His steps look shaky, but with all his strength and heart Jester gathered the courage to see a doctor. Preparing the heart to listen to the explanation that he believed would further break his heart, but in France at this time... Jester understands only he is in charge of Luna's safety.

In a room that became an office for doctors who handle Luna, Jester entered after the nurse opened the door. There it looks two doctors are discussing seriously enough, but after seeing the arrival of Jester when it makes the two doctors stop their discussion and focus on staring at Jester sitting in front of them.

"Good afternoon" Jester said as he sat down and looked at the two doctors in turn.

"Jesters.... Jester Gates" replied Jester

"Well Mr Gates, what is your relationship with the patient?" the doctor sounded serious

"I'm the one in charge as long as he's in this country" replied Jester sounding sad, one of the doctors at the time had permission to leave the room.

"What happened to... my friend?" asked Jester sounding sad, the doctor in front of Jester also sighed.

"Miss Lincoln suffered from acute Leukemia, the condition of his body can not survive anymore and maybe he will experience paralysis caused by excessive bone pain. During this time Miss Lincoln supported her health with high doses of drugs, but now her body is not able to accept the drugs" replied the doctor explained Luna's condition, Jester was increasingly losing his spirit.

"May you.. heal and save him...?" jester asked stammered and implied expectantly, but the doctor responded to Jester's question with a headband.

"His body has been severely damaged by the strong effects of the drugs that Miss Lincoln has been taking so far.The first step may be removal of the swollen spleen, but it is very risky.... we must have a clear and complete medical record" replied the doctor, sounding very pessimistic, Jester banged his forehead against the table in front of him.

"What should I do at a time like this?" jester asked, sounding hoarse because he wanted to cry

"Mr Gates, I don't know what your relationship is with Miss Lincoln but my side as a layman says that.... miss Lincoln forced her body to reach for something as the last thing she probably wanted so badly... you can ask him what made him take such a dangerous step" the doctor replied trying to advise, Jester pu was silent for a while.

"Maybe that's all I can say right now" the doctor said, raising his head and immediately standing up to leave the doctor's office.

"Thank you for the advice" said Jester, sounding sad

Jester came out of the room and walked in a daze over the hospital corridor, until a few steps Jester's body seemed to lose its strength and made him almost fall into the wall on his side. Jester was sitting leaning against the wall with tears flowing, the memory of Luna at that time made his mind confused and shrouded with sadness.

Detailed explanations from doctors increasingly make Jester dissolve in sadness, his body feels weak does not have any strength even just to support his own weight. With the rest of Jester's energy continued to walk until the hospital waiting room, where Jester sat and leaned his back on the chair he was sitting in, Jester looked increasingly lost his spirit.

Last night Jester sat in front of the hospital waiting room and did not move at all from that place, his face looked grim and sad that became one. Every now and then her tears arrived - suddenly dripping which she let wet her cheeks, her eyes were blankly staring at the hospital floor. Until morning came, the sun rose quite bright that morning but Jester remained motionless from his place.

"Good morning Mr. Gates, I'm from the administration.. Can you sign some papers?" asked a woman who approached Jester, hearing the voice made Jester wake up from his daydream and look at the woman.

"Yes" Jester answered briefly and followed the woman in charge of the hospital to a room, where Jester signed all the documents.

"Well, for the first time we ask for a deposit of 400 Euros. paid in what way?" asked the administrative officer, slowly Jester took the wallet and gave the officer a black credit card and made the officer was silent staring at Jester.

"Use this" said Jester as the officers stared silently at him

"Well." said the officer then received the card, the officer swiped the card and returned it to Jester.

"This is me returning Mr. Gates" the officer returned Jester's card and then Jester immediately left the room.

Jester again walked dazed towards the waiting room, when he arrived there Jester was seen sitting in the most corner seat of the room. Leaning on the back of the chair and supporting his head against the wall, either when Jester fell asleep in that position. Almost three hours Jester fell asleep in that position, he woke up when many voices began to be heard near him. After stretching for a moment, Jester walked back to the room where Luna was being treated.

There Jester saw Luna who was lying in a bed with various medical equipment attached to every part of her body, Luna looks without a single strand of hair on her head and makes Jester realize that all this time Luna always uses a wig to cover everything. At that time Jester felt the strength of Luna's determination to realize her dreams. His face that looks pale even more affirming how severe the pain he was experiencing, Jester sighed and then moved away from that place.

At the hotel where Jester was staying he rushed to the restaurant for breakfast, seeing his breakfast in plain sight he was reluctant to eat but Jester realized he was the only person who had to be strong to beat Luna because there was no one else who could accompany Luna at such a time this is why Jester is seen forcing his body to keep even the breakfast he took.

After finishing Jester returned to his room and took a bath, in the middle of the shower, Jester continued to look at his broken heart. She was so disappointed in herself after knowing all the truth, in her mind she always asked 'why is Luna not being straight with her? it's all your fault for not being honest with me, all your fault Luna!'

Almost an hour Jester continued to flush his body with water until his skin was seen to wrinkle, but he still could not arrange his broken heart. Jester dried his body and put on clothes and immediately laid his body wet, staring at the sky - the hotel sky and still pensive. He also remembered the message of the doctor who said that Luna deliberately doped her body with various drugs in order to realize her dreams, her dreams, and her, at that time Jester remembered about Luna's pink note with a long list of things that Luna wanted to do.

"Can you continue on this journey?" jester murmured at that moment and his tears flowed back

Not feeling Jester was asleep until a few hours passed, when he opened his eyes when Jester saw the afternoon sky that looked cloudy from the window of the hotel. Immediately Jester got out of bed and prepared to return to the hospital to visit Luna, using a Jester taxi to the hospital. Arriving at the hospital, Jester directs his feet to Luna's room and sees her from behind the window. There Jester still saw Luna lying in her stupor, as if there was no sign of Luna getting up soon.

"Wake up Luna. I promise I will accompany you to complete your dream.." murmured Jester when it sounded very sad, Jester pressed his forehead against the glass as if he was lamenting what was happening in his life. Not long someone was seen running towards Jester and suddenly pulled his hand so violently that Jester's body tilted, at which time someone immediately slammed Jester with judo style to make him groan in pain.

"Armgh!! what - what the fuck?!!" snapped at Jester and looked at the person who slammed him, it turned out that it was William who had surprisingly come to paris.

"Papa?!! what's papa doing here?" jester asked in surprise and was still lying

"I'm here specifically to beat up a cheat!" william answered with a glance.
