I Borrowed Him
Guardian Angel
An overcast morning in a public cemetery that looks quite crowded with people, the atmosphere of mourning is very thick there. The cries of family and friends accompanied Luna's funeral procession, among them were Naomi, Luke, Sarah, Harry, Selena, Justin, Grece, William, Marrie, John, among others, and Lisa was so grieved. Slowly Luna's body was getting covered with the ground accompanied by sobs all who were present there, he said, the figure of Luna who gave many beautiful memories to the people closest to her made their hearts hurt while attending Luna's funeral. The more invisible Luna's coffin the more Selena and Lisa can no longer stand up, their legs drooping. The two of them gathered together with tears that were so bitter, until some time when the funeral began to be abandoned by people who were grieving.
Naomi, William, Marrie, Justin, Grece, Luke, Sarah, and Harry were about to return home, they said goodbye to John and Lisa and expressed their deep condolences to them. At Naomi's funeral, William and Marrie part ways with Luke, Sarah, Harry, Justin and Grece. After Luke's car, Sarah and Harry leave, a voice calls Naomi's name. Realizing that someone called her at that time made Naomi look for the source of the sound, from a distance Naomi saw Lisa and John who ran closer to Naomi, William, and Marrie.
"Sorry Mr and Mrs Gates, we're stopping you" said John, breathing heavily after running
"It's okay, what's up?" asked William curiously, John handed him a letter envelope and a small pink note.
"It... My wife found a letter and a small note in Luna's bag and we're sure Luna wants this little note to be owned by young master Gates, if young lady Scott doesn't mind..." not finished John said, Naomi cut while receiving the letter and the small note.
"I will definitely tell Jester" Naomi said despite tears still dripping on her cheeks, John and Lisa smiled at Naomi.
"Thank you, once again thank you. We are very sure Luna is grateful to be able to meet you in this short life" John said, he and Lisa bowed to pay their respects to Naomi, William and Marrie and turned back to Luna's tomb.
Naomi, who was leaving for the funeral with William and Marrie, was seen entering the BMW 740Li along with the entry of William and Marrie, in the car a driver driving the car drove straight to the house of Jester and Naomi. They were silent because Naomi was still crying sobbing - sobs, Marrie who was sitting next to her could only win Naomi by stroking Naomi's head gently.
"Is Jester awake? her heat was so high, I was worried she was why" asked Marrie to break the silence between them
"Jester was just in a deep shock, it was the same as when he was heartbroken. Jester will be fine" William replied sounding calm
"I think Jester's having more mental shocks than ever, how about we get Jester to come home to Will? Naomi can also stay in our house for a while" sounded very worried when Marrie said it, William sighed.
"Honey, the Jester already has Naomi who will keep and restore his spirit. Why don't we just leave Jester to Naomi?" ask William with pressure
"Stretch.." not yet finished Marrie talking, William cut.
"Jester's gonna be okay with Naomi, are you right, Miss Naomi?" William said it while turning his back to look at Marrie and Naomi who were sitting in the back seat
"Yes, Jester will be fine - sorry to make mom and dad worried, but I will help Jester to get up" Naomi replied firmly although her voice still sounded hoarse from crying.
"But if there's anything - do you have to call mama, a broken-hearted Jester is difficult to handle" Marrie's timpan, Naomi just nodded her head a few times to respond to Marrie's words.
Anxiety that is so reasonable for Marrie considering that he used to be a witness when his only son was slumped over the rejection of Luna, Luna, but now it is not only the rejection that Jester receives but the departure of Luna for good plus the fact that Jester finally knows the reason Luna rejected her son first because of the pain she suffered. Marrie just doesn't want the Jester back drifting in a slump.
A few minutes passed and the BMW 740Li was seen stopping in front of the house of Jester and Naomi, Naomi then got out of the car while greeting William and Marrie who will soon return home. After the BMW 740Li left, Naomi turned around and immediately stepped into the house.
Inside the house, Naomi slowly stepped her feet closer to the living room carrying a sense of worry about the state of Jester. There Naomi sees Jester standing leaning against the door frame staring at the pool, realizing that Naomi's whereabouts make Jester turn her head to look at Naomi and then smile.
"Home home?" asked Jester softly, Naomi also showed a face of regret at that time
"Sorry.I was forced to leave because my mom and dad picked me up.." Naomi said regretfully, but Jester laughed a little while looking back at the pool.
"It's okay, you've been with me until I fell asleep.Thank you" said Jester whose tone still sounded soft, soft Jester voice made Naomi wonder.
"You... Are you okay, Jess?" ask Naomi worried
"I'm good - fine. earlier I had wanted to follow when you were not beside me but..." Jester hung up his sentence and seemed to think for a moment, Naomi walked up to Jester.
"...I can't help it. I'm so stupid, I can't even let go. What kind of man I am, crying over another woman when I already have you.." sounds sad Jester said, Naomi moved her legs back towards Jester and hugged her from behind so tightly.
Under these circumstances, it was the only action Naomi was able to take to try to give Jester comfort and tranquility, Naomi just wanted to show Jester that under any circumstances she would remain loyal and be by Jester's side to support and strengthen Jester. Not that there was no jealousy but his love and trust for Jester was able to break down Naomi's jealousy, especially before her departure Luna gave Naomi confidence that there was only herself in Jester's heart.
"It's okay to lose someone is hard. No one is willing to be separated by death.... I understand how you feel Jess" Naomi said gently, Jester's flowing tears were able to feel Naomi in her hand that tightly hugged Jester.
"Thank you for your understanding all along" said Jester, whose voice sounded hoarse.
After Jester looked calmer, the two of them together prepared for lunch. In the kitchen Jester began to look able to speak calmly, it made Naomi was happy. However, Naomi has heard well from William, Marrie, Luke and Harry that Jester will be devastated by the death of Luna, but seeing Jester who can act as usual though sometimes his face shows sadness makes Naomi's heart feel relieved.
Thirty minutes after lunch, Jester and Naomi both enjoyed the meal. Interspersed with small talk between the two of them, everything seems to be going well. After she finished eating, Naomi told Jester to stay and she ran to the living room to pick up a small pink note and a letter. Upon returning to the dining room, Naomi handed over the note and letter that Naomi placed on the table close to Jester's hand.
"It belonged to Luna, Luna's mother and father who gave it to me. He said you should have the note and about the letter" naomi said as she walked back to her seat and sat opposite Jester, with a look that looked sad Jester looked at the note.
"You don't have to open it now. I know you need time, for a while let me keep it until your heart is ready" Naomi said, jester's eyes turned to look at Naomi who looked at him so worried.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry too much like that." said Jester in an annoyed tone, Naomi smiled as she sighed.
"Why don't I worry, you look so sad." Naomi said in a soft voice.
"This letter and note, I leave it to you first, before that, I want to take photos when I'm in Paris" Jester said as he opened his phone, jester called Luke, who said it was 'the Gorilla'
***
"Hello Jester!! do you need me?! I'll be there soon!!" luke said sounding very panicked, the panic made Jester look upset.
"Huh?! no way, you just didn't come to the funeral.." Luke said, there was a noise from behind the phone. Luke is heard arguing with a woman behind the phone.
"Hello Jester.. Do you need Luke? I'm sure you need me more right now, your friend is too stupid to help you at a time like this" Sarah's voice took over Luke's phone, at that moment, Luke's voice sounded like he was trying to grab a cellphone.
"Aaa Sarah, ahaha.you're right, maybe I need you more right now" Jester chimed in with a small voice of laughter accompanying her.
"Tell me, I'll do everything I can" Sarah said
"I want to print my photos while in line, actually simple things but I want photos that are able to withstand water, the color is durable and not quickly damaged" said Jester, a moment later, Sarah was heard sighing.
"Well, it's easy. I'll do it soon, you just send me the photos" said Sarah.
"Thank you, Sarah" Jester chimps and he hangs up his phone line

"Why don't you just ask me for help?" naomi asked, sounding annoyed at Jester, seeing Naomi who was upset with him made Jester laugh.
"I need you to always be by my side, can't I?" ask Jester in a seductive tone
"After what happened to you, I hope you never feel alone. I will be the guardian angel and accompany you forever, so you can be at peace" Naomi replied with a sweet smile looking at Jester, Naomi's smile when it was reciprocated with Jester's laughter.
"Why are you laughing?" asked Naomi with a tone that sounded awkward to see Jester's response
"I will also be your guardian angel and accompany you forever, the problem is...what is the punishment for the transgressors?" tanya Jester sounds challenging Naomi, getting the question makes Naomi pause while thinking.
"The one who breaks will...." Naomi hung up her sentence and then fell silent for a while, suddenly Naomi clapped her hands as if she had an idea.
"For the transgressor, he will be cursed to be the loneliest man in his entire life until he returns to keep his promise!" sounding enthusiastic Naomi said it, Jester looked astonished looking at Naomi.
"Why? is that less cruel? loneliness throughout life is very painful" Naomi said because Jester seemed to disagree with her idea, Jester smiled.
"That's right, I'm just surprised by the severity of the punishment that will be meted out as the offender" Jester said, sighing
"Let's tie our promise to this place!" eagerly Naomi said it, Jester also put her little finger in front of Naomi.
"Promise the little finger?" jester asked, Naomi silently stared at Jester's little finger for a while.
"Why? are you afraid to make a promise?" jester asked, Naomi laughed a little at Jester's tone and immediately frowned her little finger on Jester's little finger.
"I can't believe I'm going to do this again at my current age" Naomi said, holding back her laughter
"Who else have you ever made a promise like this?" jester asked curiously, Naomi laughed again
"When I was seven years old, my father and I were watching a movie about true love that had to be separated by death. I forgot what the title of the movie was but I remember. They were hit by various problems in his marriage, but both of them were able to live everything well until death separated" naomi replied with a smile that seemed to crackle as she said it
"The role of the woman in the film amazed me so much, her elegance, her nature, her way of solving problems and opening up communication all amazed me. At that time I promised my father that I would be a woman who each in my partner like the female lead...is not our promise this will be related to my promise to father?" said Naomi who looks happy will tie a promise with Jester
"Once you say it, I won't allow you to pull it" Jester said
"Let's say it quickly!" naomi excitedly said it
"We promise to be the guardian angels and will accompany our partner to the death that separates" said Jester and Naomi, Naomi's smile seemed to crack as she said her promise. Naomi's smile at the time was inversely proportional to Jester who looked sad looking at Naomi, Jester's sad gaze made Naomi curious.
"You... Why sad? are you sorry you made a promise to me?" naomi asked sounding sad
"A quick look. I remember when Luna and I tied up a promise. I was a little traumatized by a promise" Jester replied sounding sad, Naomi smiled at Jester's reply.
While lifting his little finger spontaneously, Jester suddenly recalled the last moment he promised pinky with Luna at the last moment Luna. Suddenly there was sadness in the Jester's heart but he was able to hold it, he still invited Naomi to do the pinky finger promise and not cancel it amid the inner turmoil that he was quieting.
"Jesss.... Luna did not break her promise to you, but it was all due to fate. You can't blame her for being a destiny of other wills, she wants to be with you even when she feels inadequate, even when Luna forces Selena to be her role" Naomi sighed for a moment before continuing her words, Jester was stunned to see Naomi.
"You already know all the truth, still can't your heart make peace?" naomi asked sounded so sad, the look in her eyes showed how sad she was to see Jester who was still not able to make peace.
There is a feeling of guilt in Naomi's heart to see Jester who still can't make peace with her heart over Luna's departure. Suddenly Naomi remembered how her efforts to make Jester able to make peace with the presence of Luna who had become a pandora box for Jester, who had been, Naomi, who does not know the real reason for Luna rejecting Jester in a rude way, seems to force Jester to find out the answer so that Jester can make peace and no longer make Luna his pandora box.
But the truth is true beyond Naomi's expectations, Luna did all that because she was aware of her age is not long and could not see Jester must be fragile because of her disappearance. Naomi felt sorry for forcing Jester, if she hadn't forced Jester to seek answers maybe Naomi wouldn't have seen the person she loved so badly, circumstances that make Naomi heart sick and full of guilt.
"What happened to Luna made me no longer want to judge someone too quickly, because I was sure there would be a reason behind every action they did something... maybe he's fighting with something we never knew. Thank you Naomi. I will try to be more mature in the future" with a smile that Jester said, Naomi also returned Jester's smile at that time.
"You're the coolest guy I've ever met, because of your adult mind.I'm lucky to meet you" Naomi said.
