I Borrowed Him

A Real Man

"Wake Luna!!! you promised me you'd get well!!!" snapped by Jester who was then encouraged by Luke and Harry to stay away from Luna's body, Jester's cry became increasingly so.

The night with a sprinkling of stars that illuminate the sky of Paris France on that day feels so beautiful when viewed, the beauty that feels in vain in the eyes of Jester, Naomi, Selena, Luke, Harry, Justin, Justin, Grece, John, and Lisa. Luna's sudden death made them all seem to be still unprepared with the departure of Luna, the cry of each made the atmosphere more and more haru.

"Don't talk like a loser!! Don't talk about such useless things!! a dead creature, will only return to the ground!! even if you cry, she won't come back!! stop crying even if your heart hurts, want to be as sad as anything or as miserable as you.. You must stay strong!! you heard me being a jerk!!" snapped at Luke who had been trying to hold back his tears from earlier, his tear-strapped red eyes continued to stare at Jester's teary eyes. Like de javu but in more severe circumstances, Luke must see his best friend in a state of slump because of the same figure. Luke's heart ached to see the condition of his best friend, as hard as his efforts to make Jester strong to face the death of Luna.

"You don't understand!! you don't understand Luke.he promised me twice, Luke and Harry also loosened the power that had been holding Jester.

"Bring this body" William ordered as he walked up to Luna and put the blankets and face coverings back together

"Okay sir" said the nurse who pushed the gurney, the nurse took Luna to the morgue.

"Mr Lincoln.I'm sorry about my son's behavior, I hope you're not offended by his behavior" William said, bowing his head at John and Lisa, seeing William bow his head made John feel bad.

William feels guilty to Luna's parents for Jester's actions that rocked Luna's body, something out of control and William did not expect Jester to be shaken by Luna's departure for good.

"It's okay Mr. Gates, we understand how disappointed young Mr. Gates is in our son" John's dreamy crush hugged Lisa to calm him down

"Thank you for your understanding" William regretted saying, William walked up to Naomi who hugged Selena so tightly.

"Miss Naomi, papa take Jester first. There is something that must be papa and Jester talk about" William said to Naomi, when Naomi turned to look at William with an angry look even though tears kept dripping through his cheeks. Naomi understood that William would force Jester not to be weak in such a harsh way, often William asks Jester to be as fresh as his papa but Jester's current condition is very worrying for Naomi and Naomi does not want Jester to be more depressed about his papa treatment.

"I'm coming! papa must have forced Jester to be like papa!!" somewhat snapping Naomi said it, William also sighed to hear Naomi's words.

"Then what kind of Jester do you expect?" william asked while pointing at Jester who was still silently staring and crying near Luke and Harry, seeing Jester's condition that looked so sad and shocked made Naomi silent for a while.

"Miss Naomi. papa saw you jerked when Jester told Luna to come back to him, but believe me if the words Jester said.." William has not finished speaking, Naomi cut.

"It's okay, I understand. in fact, their love is not complete and only covered with dust - thin dust called anger, papa. I understand, it does not mean anything to me" timpal Naomi, William smiled at Naomi who was heartened to understand the state of her son.

"Papa was just worried that you were jealous of Jester's words" was relieved when William said them, and Naomi shook her head several times in response to William's words.

"I do feel jealousy when Jester says it, as if Jester wants to go back to Luna if she gets well. But.... Jester is Jester, I trust him. He won't make me cry and will try his hardest to make me smile. At the moment Jester has just lost Luna and this is lost forever, I really understand Jester's situation, but I make sure it won't change anything papa" naomi's smile line was visible when she said it as if giving gesture to William that Naomi felt good - okay with Jester's attitude to Luna

"Well if you say it like that, but you still have to invite him to talk together. This is the same as the incident when Jester was heartbroken for the first time, this time it should not be too long" William said as he turned to look at Jester who was a little far behind him, william's words make Naomi curious.

"Why did papa say that? wouldn't it be if this incident actually made the Jester worse off than it used to be?" naomi asked curiously, William smiled and looked at Naomi.

"Because she has you who will help her get back up" William said, and made Naomi smile again, though she still couldn't stand the tears, and William walked over to Jester.

So close to the child, William pulled Jester's arm and slammed him into the floor. William's actions shocked all who were there until none of them could say - words, William immediately pulled the feet of Jester who was still lying in pain on the floor.

"Let's go, kid, you've got to re-learn the real meaning of life" William drags Jester out of the room.

Shortly after Naomi, Selena, Luke, Harry, Justin and Grece return to the hotel to rest, John and Lisa wait at the hospital to clear all sorts of Luna administration. While Jester and William are seen sitting - sitting in a park close to the Eiffel Tower, there William and Jester are still pensive in the cold of the night wind.

Trying to manage his breath and sentences well, William began to try to give mental strength to Jester. For the first time Jester has lost someone in his life for good, William is so understanding that this is the toughest time for Jester especially the figure who left Jester for eternity is a figure that has ever been so meaningful to his son's life. But William can't let Jester dissolve too long in his grief, William feels there is a responsibility that Jester must complete as a real man.

"Son. Every human being will meet and will separate, be it friends, lovers, friends, parents, children, relatives" chirps William broke the silence between them, Jester still heard a hiccup after crying without responding to William's words.

"It's your first experience of losing someone who may have a place in your heart, but this is what life is like and you have to experience this sooner or later" sounds regretfully William said

"I don't know what to do this time.it was all too soon, he. went so suddenly before my eyes.. I don't know what this is and why it's like, I think I already hate it and don't want it near me. But... my chest feels so claustrophobic papa..." Jester again cried sobbing - sobbing when saying it, seeing his son who was so bad made William feel sad. His hand patted Jester's back quite gently, then stroked her several times.

"Papa understands what you feel, but there is nothing you can do to bring Luna back into the world.This time there is only one thing you can do son" william's voice sounded so soft and tried to calm Jester, slowly Jester turned to look at William who was sitting next to him.

"What's that...?" ask Jester curiously

"Check list Luna. all her dreams you have to carry on with that, get your message across to her that you care about her and her dreams" William replied firmly.

"I.. will not be able to.." jester stammered William's words.

"That's true, no one will be able to, but you are the one who will break down the notion that it is impossible to do at a time like this. Finish your promise to him, be a real man, boy!" william eagerly gave moral support to Jester, was stunned for a while when he looked at William finally Jester back down his gaze.

"What... This... does papa mean? he's dead.. Does he know I'm going to complete his dreams?" jester asked in a voice that sounded very sad

"There or nothing means that it is not the subject of the problem, son, but the promise of a man who has been said must be implemented even though he has to bet his life. Finish your promise and fulfill Luna's expectations of you, be the man in charge with your own words" William said

"That sounds ridiculous papa.." - timpal Jester still sounded uninspired, William sighed and then fell silent for a moment.

"What do you regret right now?" william broke the silence

"Who... do I regret? many... I regret many things. and the biggest thing is..my insensitivity to the condition of Luna, I should realize there is something Luna is hiding... I shouldn't have gotten angry with him and kept trying to pursue his love.I was too quick to judge someone to the point of not understanding that he was at war with the illness he was craving" Jester replied sounding very sorry.

"How son? answer your call as a man or go home a loser" William chirped as Jester seemed to realize what he had to do, slowly Jester turned back to look at William.

"I... can still fulfill my promise. even though he broke his promise to me a second time, but it is not the attitude of a man to take revenge on a woman...." jester and William said the same thing.

".... It's a man's duty to forgive every woman's lie." William and Jester said simultaneously, William's hand stroked Jester's head hard enough to make Jester's head shudder.

"You're my son's real man, do what you're supposed to do!" william excitedly told Jester

"Thank you, papa, papa, the coolest man I met.." murmured Jester at that moment, they both stood up and immediately stepped their feet toward the hotel again.

The figure of William always managed to make Jester a stronger person and able to control all his emotions well. That made Jester need his papa when he first found out that Luna was seriously ill and asked her to accompany him through the tough days that he would go through at that time.

Not long after, Jester arrived at his hotel room and when he opened the room he found Naomi sitting in a mattress with tears rushing out. At once Naomi's eyes looked at Jester who had just entered the room, Naomi immediately stood up and ran crashing her body into Jester's body and hugged Jester so tightly. The sound of Naomi's cry at that time was so bitter that Jester was only able to fall silent and hug Naomi.

Slowly Jester let go of his embrace and carried Naomi to the bed, where Naomi fell asleep in Jester's chest so bright that the morning sun lit up the sky of Paris France. While Jester, who had not slept all night, turned his eyes to the curtains that blocked the sunlight, slowly replaced Jester with a pillow to hold Naomi's head. For a moment Jester confirmed that Naomi was still in a deep sleep then she stepped out of the room and walked towards the hospital, with a sad feeling that still enveloped the heart.

At the hospital that morning Jester saw Selena who was about to enter the hospital carrying a picture frame, with a little Jester running up to Selena and patting her on the shoulder. Selena turned her head back to look at Jester who looked very sleepy that she could see from the blackened eye bags, but Selena's eyes at that time were not much different from Jester's.

"What is Luna's picture frame?" jester asked, Selena only nodded her head a few times

"Are Luna's mom and dad inside?" asked Jester again, Selena nodded her head several times to answer Jester's question.

They both walked back into the hospital, in front of Jester's mortuary saw Lisa sitting on one of the chairs and crying so bitterly. Near the door John was standing leaning back as if waiting for something, aware of Selena's presence when John's eyes were distracted. Slowly Jester and Selena walked up to John, Jester again shrouded in sadness as the sound of Lisa's cry that increasingly sounded so heartrending.

"This is Mr. Lincoln's frame." Selena said, giving a picture frame to John.

After receiving the frame, John immediately walked up to Lisa and stuck out his hand, gestur asked for something from Lisa. Without saying anything Lisa gave the envelope, John received the envelope and took out a photo of Luna when she was just entering High School. At once Selena's cry broke again as she stared at the photo of Luna smiling, Selena to the point of breaking down instantly as her cry suddenly broke. Jester walked up to Selena and then Jester gently rubbed Selena's head, but Selena kept crying sobbing. Luna's death took Selena by storm, Jester realized Selena was more silent than usual and Jester could feel the pain of Selena's heart that made her that way.

"Tabahlah..I am as sad as you and I also lost him so much. Let's just continue our lives as Luna wants" jester chirps along with the release of Jester's hand from Selena's head, Jester walked up to John who was seen putting a photo of Luna in the frame.

"Sir Lincoln..if allowed, I would like to bring a picture of Luna to complete my promises with her.." asked Jester in a voice that sounded so sad, John turned to look at Jester with eyes that looked glazed.

"Young Mr. Gates. I as Luna's parents apologized to you for.." John said, Jester cut.

"It's okay.I was outrageous to her..." Jester hung up his sentence and bowed to John, Jester's actions that surprised John.

"I'm sorry I couldn't finish all his dreams, it's all because of my stupidity and insensitivity towards him. I am deeply sorry for this incident and wish that Mr. Lincoln and his mistress could understand my folly" Jester regretfully said, as John bowed his body to Jester.

"Thank you for giving such wonderful memories to our child, he always talked about you and always regretted his fate but thanks to you... once again thank you young master Gates" with tears John said, when Jester tears fell instantly.

At the same time Jester and John lifted his body while wiping the remaining tears on their cheeks, respectively, John invited Jester to enter into a room where Luna's body was. In the room Jester saw a coffin, slowly and with a trembling body Jester walked closer to it. Near the coffin John put a picture of Luna then he looked at the pale face of Luna who still looks smiling, Jester again shed tears for a moment while looking at Luna's face.

After a while, Jester came back out of the room carrying a picture of Luna. Outside the room Jester sees Naomi hugging Selena and gazing at Jester with glassy eyes, Jester threw away her face and walked away without a word. Feeling that Jester was angry with her made Naomi a little surprised, she let go of Selena's embrace and chased after Jester who continued to walk out of the hospital. Many times Naomi keeps calling Jester's name but as if Jester is reluctant to stop the scale, Naomi is more convinced Jester is angry with her but she does not understand what makes Jester angry.

"Stop, Jester!!" naomi snapped while pulling Jester's arm, with Naomi slightly running around Jester and looking into him.

"You're mad at me?!" naomi asked a little snapping, Jester just threw away face avoiding eye contact with Naomi.

"I was wrong what?! why are you mad at me?!" naomi asked again, sounding angry

"Why don't you just tell me what's going on behind my back." replied Jester sounding like a murmur, Naomi was confused by Jester's words.

"Huh? whatchu mean? I also didn't know that Luna.." Naomi hadn't finished saying, Jester cut.

"Why not just tell me honestly about what you're dealing with so I know!! why do you always think you don't have to tell me what you're dealing with?!!" snapped Jester at that time, Naomi was shocked to hear Jester's death.

"What...you mean Jess?" ask Naomi

"Your incident with Daniel.I almost lost you..if only Luna and Selena did not immediately realize what happened to you.I might have lost you by now..." stammered Jester saying, Naomi was stunned for a moment to look at Jester.

"Jess.. I.." Naomi said, Jester cut back.

"He! Luna did the same!! he did not say he was at war with his illness!!! why?!! why not just say it?!" jester's snapping again sounded full of emotion, Naomi could only be speechless looking at Jester's eyes.

"Just just say it... just talk...what's hard for you guys huh?" jester asked so disappointed, not long after Jester again stepped foot leaving Naomi.

"Jess!! i'm coming!!" naomi is running after Jester

"Stay away!" timpal Jester with a clash, Jester's words made Naomi again jerked.
