I Borrowed Him
Arthur's anger
A clear night in a hill far enough from the city center, a house awoke very luxurious surrounded by a forest of pine trees. There is only one access road that directly connects the city with the only house at the end of the evidence, so anyone who approaches will definitely be known to the gate guard.
Similarly, a Ferrari 458 mounted by the Jester was seen five hundred meters before Jester arrived in front of the main gate of the Gates family residence, the gate began to open slowly to welcome Jester and Naomi. As soon as the Ferrari 458 entered the gate, the guards bowed their heads to Jester, with the low speed of the Ferrari 458 going down the road to the courtyard of the Gates residence.
In the courtyard of the house, William and Marrie look as if they are waiting for the arrival of Jester and Naomi with a look of worry, Naomi who saw the look on the face of William and Marrie immediately thought if something had happened because of the news that has been spread by the Werner Group through the media network they have. When the Ferrari 458 stopped perfectly, William and Marrie walked up to the car without waiting for Jester and Naomi to get off.
"Well, wah..what is this?" asked Jester when he got out of the car, William laughed a little when he saw Jester looked calm even though William was sure Jester already knew why they were waiting for Jester in front of the door at that time.
"The bomb has exploded, son, do you know what you have to do?" william asked Jester, just with a thumbs up Jester responded to William's question.
"Mama... What happened?" ask Naomi to Marrie
"Arthur was very angry when he heard the news about you, he asked us to immediately take you to the courtroom" Marrie replied sounding sad, worried and there was a bit of fear, hearing Marrie's words made Naomi even more afraid.
Having to return to the courtroom means that the trial will be held by Arthur, Naomi who was never ready with the situation was forced to face. Naomi had actually realized this would happen since Grece revealed all about the news that would be spread, but Naomi still could not be ready to face Arthur. Hoping that Jester could calm him down but the calm attitude that Jester showed even more makes Naomi worried and can only resign to face everything.
"Let's go there" Jester chirped as she walked to the main door with William, while Naomi looked at Jester with a face that looked upset as if Jester did not understand the situation.
"Jess is like that, he always looks calm at times like anything exactly like Will. But you don't have to worry because Jess must have thought further than us" said Marrie, holding Naomi's hand firmly, although Marrie looks trying to calm Naomi but from the sound and look of her eyes make Naomi know if Marrie is as worried and afraid of her.
"I... do not know what to do to help him this time, I feel. Is it true that I just have to shut up and watch her fight for myself? was I like a heartless person when I only saw him fighting for me? but if it's wrong, I still don't know what to do" Naomi said as she lowered her head
"Naomi.this is our duty as women, we were created to accompany men and become their home when our men are tired. If you are already at the top of not knowing what to do to help your man, then it's time you shut up and wait for your man to come home and hug him. Because men are the most prestigious creatures ever created, so you just have to offer to be a place to unwind" Marrie said with a smile that glared at Naomi, slowly Naomi looked back at Marrie.
"Being...home...?" ask Naomi
"Yes, to be home to the man we've chosen. There men struggle with their sweat and blood to make us happy, because real men are men who will do anything to make us happy. Then us? we as women will be her home to provide security, comfort, and tranquility after our men fight in the rigors of street life" replied Marrie with a smile, Naomi stunned to look at Marrie's face.
"The relationship must give and respect each other, if our man has taken the responsibility to be a real man then we must be responsible to be a real woman. We are the ribs of a man, not to be on top and not to be on the bottom but we are very close to his heart. So keep her heart from ever feeling tired of fighting for us" in a voice that calms Marrie, Naomi smiled back at Marrie's smile.
"Sometimes the guy is acting pretty smart when they're actually fragile, if there's nothing we can hold their hearts together.I don't know what they're going to be" marrie said it while walking towards the main door of the house
"I'll stop to look weak in front of him so that Jester feels safe when close to me instead of worrying" Naomi said as Marrie was a little further ahead of her, naomi's words made Marrie stop her steps and turn to look at Naomi with her smile.
"Once in front of our man is not a problem really" said Marrie with a little sound of laughter, Marrie's hand gestured for Naomi to come closer.
An advice and lesson Naomi receives from Marrie makes Naomi so feel accepted lovingly by Jester's mother, the closeness built between the two is getting closer since the problem with Arthur occurred. A mother's affection can be felt by Naomi, an affection that Naomi is difficult to get from her because of Naoko's cold attitude towards her. Although deep down Naomi realizes the love for her from her mother is very big, it's just difficult to establish familiarity like when she was with Marrie.
Naomi ran a little closer to Marrie and the two of them walked into the room they used to use for the trial, in front of the door Jester and William were chatting. When Jester realizes that Naomi and Marrie are approaching them, Jester smiles as if to tell Naomi that everything will be fine.
Naomi immediately ran and smashed her body into Jester and hugged very tightly, Jester's face was surprised to get a hug that arrived - arrived and so tightly from Naomi. Jester's hand stroked Naomi's head gently and her eyes looked at Marrie, as if to ask about what made Naomi like that. But Marrie just smiled and gestured for Jester to be silent, Jester only obeyed Marrie's orders even though he did not know what happened.
"Are you okay, Jess?" naomi asks, Naomi's question makes Jester wonder.
"Aren't you the one who's been scared since? that should be my question to you" Jester replied in confusion, Naomi shaking her head several times in response to Jester's reply.
"This is not what you should be carrying, you are still a student and because you want to keep your promise to continue with me. If you are tired.I am ready to be your place to rest for a while, I am ready to be your home and your most comfortable place to complain. I.." Naomi said, Jester laughed so hard that he astonished Naomi, Marrie and William.
"Why are you laughing?" ask Naomi in astonishment
"I remember when I told you that my life had become more colorful since I met you on campus, I enjoyed my passion more with all these challenges. Thank you for being willing to be home for me and for being willing to attend my days, I can't imagine my life if you didn't pretend to be my girlfriend" jester replied with a big smile looking at Naomi's face looking up at Jester.
Drifting in romance and nostalgia together makes Jester and Naomi feel like enjoying the world only belongs to them both until they forget there is William and Marrie who pay attention to their behavior both, this couple even though they have to face a tense trial with an Arthur but both can still make out at a time like this.
"What does it mean to pretend to be a girlfriend?" william asks in surprise, hearing William's question makes Jester and Naomi startled and break out in a cold sweat.
"Aah Eeh. anu." said Naomi who panicked as she let go of her embrace and looked at William.
"I can explain papa!! but after we meet grandpa!" timpal Jester in panic
Not yet facing the grandfather, Jester must begin to prepare to explain the meaning of his words to Naomi to William the father. The problems faced by Jester are indeed more and more since he met Naomi but he is happy because he got sincere love from Naomi, more - more happy Jester is also proud to be separated from the curse of eternal singles.
"What really happened?!! you guys lied to us huh?!!" william snapped, Marrie also laughed because he had known the lies of Jester and Naomi from the beginning, but now the lie had even come true.
There was a commotion in front of the courtroom door at the Gates mansion, the commotion lasted long enough until Julius finally opened the door suddenly. Jester, Naomi, William and Marrie turned to look at Julius who looked at them with a serious look without the slightest smile, Jester, Naomi, William and Marrie said in their hearts - each that this was the time.
"Great master Arthur is waiting for you inside" Julius chirped with a face that looked tense as he looked at Jester
"Is there something bad?" ask Jester with his money
"More than just a serious young master Jester, great master Arthur was very angry to hear the news about you" Julius replied and turned around and invited Jester, Naomi, William and Marrie to come in.
Together, Jester, William, Marrie and Naomi enter the room, this time Naomi no longer hide behind Jester when she will face Arthur and it makes Jester smile happily. In the middle of the room illuminated by moonlight through the glass dome on the roof of the room, William and Jester stood in front of Marrie and Naomi looking at Arthur who was sitting on a chair like a throne.
"What does this news mean?" arthur asked in a voice that sounded so pressing and angry
"No point what, just blame it on my status as a person named Gates and the word 'selebgram' attached to Naomi. It would be very difficult to hide something considering our status, right?" jester replied without any weight, Arthur hit the arm rest of the chair so hard that the sound of his impact echoed throughout the room.
"I don't accept such stupid excuses!!" snapped Arthur
"Well, what kind of reason do you want?" jester asked with an annoyed face looking at Arthur
"What are you planning, young Gates?" ask Arthur back to Jester, between Jester and Arthur fell silent and stared for a while.
"I was doing what I should have done and doing nothing if it wasn't necessary for me to do" replied Jester, Arthur's forehead shriveled at Jester's reply.
"You're asking me to play?" arthur asked in a pressing tone
"Do I look like I'm playing?" ask Jester in a cynical voice
"I'll hold young Miss Scott and forbid you to meet him until I see your seriousness in destroying Arielle Corp" replied Arthur, Arthur's words surprised Jester, William, Naomi and Marrie.
"Why can't you do that?!!" william to Arthur
"What can't I do, Will?!" arthur's snapping back at William, got the snatch that made Will speechless with both hands that clenched tightly until it trembled.
"Until I can see your seriousness, I'll hold young Miss Scott and you won't let me meet her" Arthur said
"How should I let grandfather feel that I'm serious about doing Grandpa's job?" jester asked, trying to stay calm
"Tell me what you're really up to, I just saw you playing around with your useless teenage years" Arthur replied firmly
"What do you think Grandpa needs to know about my plan?" ask Jester again
"Because I gave you the order and I need to know about the progress you're working on, unless you intend not to destroy Arielle Corp" Arthur replied, staring suspiciously at Jester
"Grandfather didn't ask me to destroy, but grandfather asked me to make Exo number one" Jester recalled Arthur's challenge to Jester, but Jester's words made Arthur laugh out loud.
"The flow of Exo funds is from me and officially yesterday I have stopped it, there is no other way for you to make Exo become number one se.." has not finished saying, not yet finished saying, Jester interrupted Arthur's words.
"There is and I am doing" Jester pointedly replied without the slightest hesitation
"Say" said Arthur, pressing Jester
"No way" Jester firmly refused
Debate that occurred cause a small quarrel between Jester and the grandfather, Arthur's decision to keep Naomi is not something that Jester can accept. Being alone without a Jester at home that makes Naomi uncomfortable and frightened will definitely frustrate Naomi and Jester does not want it to happen to Naomi, moreover, they have promised to be together to face whatever happens and Jester also promised to bring a smile to Naomi's lips. In addition, Jester was so objected to Arthur's wishes that he told him how far the progress of the task that Arthur gave Jester.
"I'll hold young Miss Scott if you don't tell me" Arthur threatened Jester
Arthur's threat makes Jester speechless and looks at Arthur very sharply with anger, Jester thinks about the condition of Naomi who will be far from him and in the environment where Naomi feels fear while in that place. Imagining it makes Jester start to doubt, but if Jester opens his plan then there will be a possibility Arthur will intervene and thwart Jester's plan.
Jester understands very well that what Arthur really wants is to destroy the Arielle family as a whole, as well as the story he has heard from Grece. How cruel and cold-blooded Arthur is none other than Jester's own grandfather, making Jester understand the meaning behind Arthur's challenge to Jester.
Naomi who understood how wise Jester was because of him, suddenly walked forward through Jester and looked at Arthur sharply. Naomi's attitude at that time made Jester, William, Marrie and Julius surprised, they all knew how scared Naomi was of Arthur but now she dared to come forward and look at Arthur sharply.
"Let Jester not say what his plans are and I'm ready for you to stay in this house or wherever you decide!" naomi said it, Naomi's words again surprised William, Marrie and Jester.
"Naomi!! what - what the fuck are you?!" ask Jester with emotion
"It's my decision Jess! let me also sacrifice and help you!!" answer Naomi with a slight snatch
"A..what do you mean?" asked Jester who was confused by Naomi's words, Naomi sighed for a moment
"Just this morning we had a fight because you bowed your head to another woman who was my only enemy for me, did you think this time that you would sacrifice your mature plan just for me?" naomi asked in a tone that sounded sad, Jester was not able to say anything else because he had just thought to open his plan.
"Jess... don't be rash and focus on your goals, I'll be fine" Naomi said as she looked at Jester and smiled sweetly.
"Ti.dak.." murmured Jester with a face that was shocked by Naomi's words.
"July!" arthur said, immediately Julius patted his hands and then from behind Marry entered eight people dressed and black glasses running into the room.
Jester, William and Marrie are shocked by what happened, the eight men are about to take Naomi away but Jester and William try to get in the way. There was a commotion there and "DORR!!' suddenly there was the sound of a gun explosion in the room.
