I Borrowed Him
The House of Arthur Gates
A sunny day with quite hot air, in one of the famous private campus parking lots in the city center, four Mercedes Benz G63s were seen blocking the Mercedes Benz V260 car owned by Jester. From the Mercedes Benz G63 car down twelve men dressed in black tuxedo, complete with sunglasses they wear further add to their impression like members of the ruthless mafia.
Jester and Luke stand at the front of the twelve men to protect Naomi, Harry, Selena, Justin and Grece, all of them not understanding what these twelve men want from them. Quietly and staring at each other without a word, suddenly one of the twelve men in tuxedo took out a piece of photo and matched the photographed face with the face of Jester.
"He's the one" said the man holding the photo while pointing at Jester, as Naomi, Selena, Harry, Justin and Grece stared at Jester simultaneously.
"You have a mafia problem?" asked Naomi in fear, Jester did not respond to Naomi's question and continued to stare at the twelve men with a sharp look. The tuxedoed man carrying the photo of Jester took a few steps forward and approached Jester, then put his right hand on his left chest and bowed slightly.
"Young Master Jester Gates, we were ordered to pick you up and take you to meet your grandfather at the Gates Family mansion" the man said politely, the man's words again made Jester and his friends surprised.
"Where may I believe in you" said Jester, with a quick response the tuxedo man pulled out his cell phone and made a video call directed directly to Jester. Not long on the screen of the phone appeared the faces of William and Marrie who looked worried, his surprised face was so visible when they saw Jester and his friends.

"Jess!! you okay?" ask Marrie who was so worried
"Papa? mama?" jester's question came almost at the same time as Marrie's
"Hey son, how's Miss Naomi doing? you must take good care of her, son!" in a panic William said
"Who are these freaks, papa?" jester asked, William and Marrie looked at each other and then both sighed at the same time and looked at Jester back.
"It's not time you knew about your extended family or maybe more precisely about your grandfather Arthur Gates" William replied firmly and impliedly in fear, Jester was surprised to hear William's words.
"Papa... I have a grandfather?" jester asked, confused
"Yes, of course, a stupid kid! you think papa was born with a stork?!" william was full of emotion
"Where do I know, you never told me about Grandpa!!" jester replied so upset at William
"Already! already!! you two are fighting at a time like this!! Jess... come with the men and remember to always take care of Naomi! we'll explain when you get here, okay?" marrie said it
"Where's mama? why should I go with them?" ask Jester curiously
"We're in the Gates family mansion, just like you. So you just follow, grandfather is not the type of person who wants to accept rejection" answered Marrie frantically, Jester nodded his head and the video call was cut off
***
"Can we go now young master Jester Gates?" asked the tuxedo man, Jester looked at Luke and gave Luke his car keys.
"Bring my car with you, I'll call you if you need help. So stay close - close to your phone" said Jester, Luke received the key and immediately nodded.
"Naomi, what are you?" jester asked, looking at Naomi behind him, her fearful face was clearly visible.
"I'm fine" replied Naomi slightly stammered, Jester sticking out her hand to hold Naomi.
"Don't be far away from me" Jester asked, Naomi immediately welcomed Jester's hand while nodding her head.
"All right, take young master and Miss Scott to the Gates mansion!!" the order of one of the tuxedo men then all re-entered the Mercedes Benz G63 including Jester and Naomi, before the Mercedes Benz G63 group left the campus.
During the trip, Jester and Naomi, who were sitting next to each other in the car to two of the four Mercedes Benz G63 groups, could only be silent, not much talk came out of Jester and Naomi's lips because of the tension in the car.
The journey that took more than an hour was past the hills that look beautiful, at the end of the hill looks a magnificent house that has seen the fence even from a distance. Jester and Naomi look amazed by the architectural design of his house that seemed to blend with the hills, until a few minutes later Jester and Naomi arrived in front of the fence of the large residence Gates.
Once the fence is open, the Mercedes Benz G63 car group goes directly to the front of the home court which is the main door to enter the house that looks magnificent. As soon as he got out of the car, Jester and Naomi were greeted with eight women in maid outfits. They immediately bowed their bodies towards Jester and Naomi, not long before they saw a middle-aged man walking closer to Jester and Naomi.
"Welcome to the Gates Family mansion, young master Jester Gates" sounded so polite the middle-aged man said
"Thank you" Jester briefly chimed in on the middle-aged man's words
"I'm the butler of this house, my name is Julius and I will be in charge of meeting all the needs of the young master and Miss Scott of this house" Julius said politely
"Well, Mr. Julius, tell me where can I meet my parents?" jester asked a bit pressurizing
"Call me Julius young master, for now you are not allowed to see Mr. William and Mrs Marrie until your grandfather Lord Arthur allows it" julius' reply sounded so polite and careful in speaking, Jester sighed.
"Why did I come here, Julius?" sounding annoyed Jester said it, somewhat laughs Julius when he hears Jester's question.
"Call me Julius, sir and miss can rest first in the prepared room" Julius replied
"Then sir Ju.." Jester said, Julius cut.
"Call Julius only young master" Julius timpal said
"Ooh yes, sir Juli..." Jester stopped the words - he said then looked at Julius deeply - and was silent for a moment
"Armgh!! I'm not used to saying the name of someone older than me!!" somewhat shouting Jester said it, Naomi and Julius laughed at Jester's behavior.
"You're really Mr. William's son, maybe you're the one that Arthur's great master has been waiting for all this time" with a little laugh Julius said, Julius' words attracted Naomi and Jester's attention at the time.
"What does Julius mean?" asked Naomi curiously, Julius turned his gaze to look at Naomi and looked sad.
"The future great lord Arthur is no longer young, it is time he determined who is the successor of the Gates family but both Mr. Andrews, lord William and lord Phillip did not meet the exposition of the great lord Arthur" julius answered, Jester and Naomi were silent.
"Aah Eeh.. yes it's okay." replied Naomi stammered, Julius immediately guided Jester and Naomi to enter the mansion followed by eight women dressed maid behind him.
Tracing the hallway of the house that looks very spacious and magnificent, even makes Jester and Naomi stunned to look around them. Their house is already very large and luxurious, but when looking at the big family home Gates still also makes Jester and Naomi amazed. At a door with gold-plated algae, Julius gave a gesture while looking at Jester and Naomi right behind him.
"This is the master's room and the lady's room, if there is less housemaids behind you will immediately prepare everything. They are at this door and will take turns to look after and be ready to accept all the requests of the master and the lady" Julius said sounding friendly, Naomi bent her body.
"Thank you Julius" Naomi said, to Julius' surprise
"Miss! can't bow my body for me!" a bit panicked Julius said it and made Naomi immediately lift up and look at Julius with fear, Julius immediately turned his left right look frightened
"What's the matter, sir. eeh, I mean Julius?" asked Jester who followed in a panic, Julius sighed and tried to arrange his breath gasping for breath.
"Uhuk. You are the masters of this house, I am but a servant. Remember this, do you and your lady understand?" julius asked sounding terrified, Jester and Naomi felt Julius's worries then only nodded a few times.
"Please ladies and gentlemen rest" Julius asked Jester and Naomi, without a word Jester and Naomi walked into the room provided. A moment later, Julius looked at the housemaids.
"You know what your duty is and about Naomi's subjugation lest Sir Arthur hear it, do you understand?" julius said it
"Understanding" said the eight housemaids simultaneously, Julius sighed for a moment.
"This young lady and master are so similar to Mr. William, there will definitely be new problems in this house, hopefully bringing a new wind of change and not a storm" murmured Julius as he left the place, the maids disbanded and there were two people standing at the door of the room.
In a very luxurious room, everything looks available in the room. Even too wide and complete facilities in the room, as if the room was a house in the house. Jester looked so admiring his room that he was enthusiastic to look around, but Jester's enthusiasm was inversely proportional to Naomi who seemed silent looking at Jester with a frightened face.
"Wow.. isn't this like a little house? there's even a pantry and a mini bar in here, why don't I think of a room like this?" jester was enthusiastic to say it while walking around the room to see
"Jess.... You're not afraid?" naomi asked, sounding a little trembling, Jester turned her eyes to look at Naomi with a flat face.
"Why afraid? if Arthur was my grandfather, wouldn't he love me as his grandson?" jester's question sounded astonished at Naomi's fear, hearing Jester's carefree question made Naomi sigh.
"Jess... If he really is the figure of grandfather and grandson, has not he come to you and introduced himself to you? papa and Mama won't be that sweet either, right? you don't think anything's weird?" naomi asked, sounding a little annoyed at Jester's chuckle, as if ignoring Naomi's fear at that time Jester walked up to the window and opened the curtain so that light could enter the room.
"Jess!! i'm serious!" somewhat snapping at Naomi saying so, Jester turned to look at Naomi with a smile.
"If I were to show how worried I am right now, wouldn't you be getting more depressed?" jester asked in a calm voice, hearing Jester's question made Naomi flinch soberly.
"I'm sorry Jess. I thought you.." I'm not done yet Naomi said, Jester cut back while looking back at the Window who can immediately see the green hills.
"You know, papa was never that sweet and mom also always laughed when she saw me and papa arguing and fighting. But seeing my mom and dad's expressions made me realize, the only thing I can do right now is try to calm down and think with a cool head" Jester said calmly, slowly Naomi lowered her head and looked regretful of having thought badly of Jester.
"Sorry Jess.I failed to be a good companion to you.." Naomi's regretful voice said, Jester turned and walked up to Naomi and gently stroked her head.
"It's okay, you're so scared and that means I'm the one who failed to be your protector" with a warm smile Jester said, Naomi smiled back at Jester's smile and Naomi hugged Jester so tightly.
"Dad once said that the Gates family was terrible, only papa was different from the three brothers in the Gates family. They can do as they please to destroy someone if they want to, I'm afraid that it will happen to dad" in a sad tone and worried Naomi said it, she said, Jester hugged Naomi tightly trying to give her a sense of security.
"I'm not going to let that happen, we have to look and observe first what really happened after that we'll think about the next step" Jester said in a calm voice, Naomi looked up at Jester.
"We?" asked Naomi with a smile, Jester was surprised to hear Naomi's question.
"Yes, we.. is there a problem?" jester asked confusedly
"You keep your promise to always do everything together - the same.. I'm so happy to hear it~" replied Naomi spoiled with a sweet smile staring at Jester, Jester was made to laugh at Naomi's behavior. The pleasant atmosphere suddenly broke when someone cursed the door of Jester and Naomi's room quietly, for a moment Jester and Naomi stared at the door and fell silent.
"I'm pounding." said Naomi as she stared at the door, Jester let go of Naomi's embrace and walked over to the door to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Jester saw three women in maid clothes looking down at Jester. Women were left with lavish red party dresses, while women in the right carried a fancy blue dongker tuxedo suit.
"Good afternoon young master Jester Gates, we want to take this dress to be used at dinner" said the woman in the middle, Jester had looked at the clothes they were carrying.
"Why should I wear these clothes?" ask Jester wonder
"Sorry our young master is guilty, we will bring better clothes here" panicked the woman in the middle as she said it, Naomi ran and interrupted between Jester and the three women.
"Jess! it's Gates' big family dinner, we should definitely wear clothes like this!" timpal Naomi frantically, Jester just looked at Naomi in surprise.
"Thank you, we received these clothes" Naomi said as she picked up two clothes brought by the three women, immediately the three women resigned and Naomi walked back into the room followed by Jester after she closed the door tightly.
"Dining at home in extravagant clothes, it's weird" jester chirped, Naomi paused her steps and turned to look at Jester with an annoyed face.
"Hey.it's no ordinary dinner, take care of your attitude Jess" Naomi sounded upset.
"Yes, I know, but we're family. Why not be more relaxed?" jester asked, annoyed, Naomi sighed.
"Papa really educate you very freely yes, even things like this you make without burden" replied Naomi flat, Jester walked and laid her body in a mattress.
"Dining tonight you must obey me, you cannot argue with me. I want you to be formal and I also hope you keep your attitude to Jess" Naomi said with a slight press, Jester only gave her thumbs up to respond to Naomi's words.
"Jess~ let's donk.. If you don't want to do it for this family, at least do it for me. I'm worried about you." Naomi's pinta sounded sad, and Jester smiled at Naomi.
"Yes yes dear.I will obey tonight and will not argue with you" Jester softly said, Naomi looks relieved to hear Jester's answer and smiled sweetly at him. That afternoon was a tense afternoon for Naomi with rumors that she had heard about the Gates family, however Naomi wanted everything to go well without problems.
