I Borrowed Him
One Week Separate
The bright night changed with a slightly cloudy morning week, in a luxury house with a towering fence located at the end of the hill saw several men with tuxedos and sunglasses were guarding the area of the house. Inside the four-story house with many rooms in it, Jester walked around the house and opened every door of the house to see the inside and hoped to meet Naomi, but after the many doors that Jester can open not a single Jester meet someone.
"Aarghh!! what kind of house is this, the doors are so many!!" with a cry that sounded annoyed and desperate Jester uttered it
"There are about 112 rooms divided into rooms, offices, entertainment rooms, and more, it is clear why the door looks so many young master Jester" Julius said as he walked closer to Jester, with an annoyed face Jester turned to look at the smiling Julius.
"Of all the rooms, where is Naomi?" jester asked, Julius laughed at Jester's question.
"Young master Jester still can't meet young miss Scott at the behest of great master Arthur Gates" Julius replied with a slight sound of laughter heard, Jester sighed for a moment.
"I miss him. All night I remember - remember the sound of laughter and when he was upset with me.. Can't I just hear his voice?" pinta Jester in a sad and heartbreaking tone, Julius only shook his head a few times responding to Jester's request.
"Then tell me why I can't call Naomi on her phone?" jester asked in a pressing voice
"Scott's young lady is in a room with a signal scrambler, so any form of wireless connection will be compromised" Julius replied
"Is he okay?" asked again Jester still in a pressing voice, Julius nodded his head several times in response to Jester's question.
"I assure the young lady that she is in excellent condition, she has everything there. There is no shortage of needs and there is always a maid ready to meet all the demands of young Miss Scott. The only thing the young lady didn't get was to get out of the room" Julius replied trying to make Jester stop worrying about Naomi, hearing that answer made Jester sigh again.
Hearing Julius' explanation makes Jester more convinced that Naomi is okay, after all as long as Jester opened many doors earlier none of the room looked like a torture room. Jester only regretted why Naomi should not be given access to communicate with him.
Jester is upset that he is unable to contact and inform Naomi of his departure for the inter-university competition. Without being able to tell Naomi, Jester is worried that Naomi will over think to him and Selena at the race venue. Wants to do something but Jester realizes there is nothing he can do for Naomi at the moment.
"Alright, thank you for the information" said Jester as he was about to leave the corridor.
"Young master." Julius chirped as Jester took a few steps, heard his name called Jester immediately stopped walking and turned around.
"What about the young master's plan? is there a problem? can I help you?" ask Julius to Jester
"For the time being there isn't, I also have to leave for this week to get out of town" Jester replied
"out of town? what does it have to do with.." Unfinished Julius said, Jester cut.
"Nothing, I'm out of town because I have an obligation as a student to honor the name of the campus. I was chosen to represent the campus in the national level race" Jester's timps sounded flat, Jester's words a bit to Julius' surprise and surprise.
"You're not worried that the young master will fail" Julius said, as if Julius lost his words to respond to Jester's words that seemed to really underestimate Arthur's challenge. Hearing Julius' words made Jester laugh out loud, Jester's laughter again made Julius surprised.
"Sir Julius.." Not finished yet Jester said, Julius cut.
"Julius alone young master" Julius's timpan, Jester with his flat face looked at Julius who also showed a flat expression.
"I hate you at times like this" Jester said flatly
Starting lazy to serve Julius who was reluctant to be called by the name 'sir' made Jester vent his frustration. Jester had difficulty just mentioning Julius by name, but this time Jester seemed to have given up on arguing with Julius.
"Thank you for the attention of the young master Jester" Julius' timpal flattened as well
"Armgh!! never mind, anyway I will finish it before this month changes. I'm just asking you to keep everything a secret from grandfather, then when I need your help I just want you to do as I ask without asking too many questions!" annoyed Jester said so and walked back to leave Julius in the corridor of the house.
That morning Jester, William, and Marrie left Gates' mansion using Arthur's Mercedes Benz S 450, the three of them went to the Jester campus because today was the day that Jester had to go to represent the campus to participate in the inter-university competition with Selena. Using a special campus vehicle makes Jester and Selena must gather on campus for then they leave together - the same, that makes Jester must be escorted by William and Marrie.
"Grandpa today seems to be holding a meeting with his financial experts after hearing the shares of the Gates Hotel released to the market" William said amid the trip the three of them
"Good, at least there was interest from grandfather according to my prediction" Jester said
"Information from Naoko said if in three days Scott Hospital shares will be released to the market, unfortunately today... Evans fell ill to the point that he was hospitalized" said Marrie in a voice that sounded sad, William and Jester's faces looking sad to hear the news.
"His son was in a lion's cage and was there, how could as a father he not think. That's probably what's causing his health to decline" William chimed in in a sad voice.
"Father mama, can you go see me after this and tell her that Naomi is doing well? I got the information straight from Julius" pinta Jester, the words of Jester makes William immediately turn his eyes to look at Jester.
Evans' deteriorating situation since hearing the news about Naomi being held captive certainly made Jester worried. In addition to worrying about Evans' circumstances, Jester also fears Naomi hearing news of her father's deteriorating condition knowing she is being held captive by Arthur. Jester asks his parents to tell him about Naomi to Evans and Naoko.
"Did Julius say that? did she tell you where Miss Naomi was being held?" william's question sounded excited, for William as long as there was little clue where Naomi was held captive it was enough to find him because William memorized the Gates residence as a whole.
"No, sir Julius said nothing but to try to make me stop worrying about Naomi's situation because she was in a safe and comfortable place" Jester replied, hearing Jester's reply making William and Marrie sigh at the same time.
"Very excessive!! you are only separated in one month, don't act like you're going to be apart for years!!" william was so upset
"I'm just going to vent because I miss Naomi!!" snapping back Jester to William.
"Based on a stupid kid!! stop making us old people want to go back to feeling young blood!" william snapped again so envious to see the romance of young people, Marrie also laughed out loud - bahak see father and son who again quarrel in front of his eyes. Not long after Marrie who sat in the back seat arrived to embrace Jester and William until the heads of the three of them stuck together, Marrie's smile was also revealed.
"When you were young you never imagined you would have a child like you Jess, thank you for coming to accompany your life." said Marrie at that time, Jester's face was reddened when he heard Marrie's words.
"Then about me?" william asked irinya because only Jester said thank you for being present in Marrie's life
"I didn't expect to get a stupid husband like you" Marrie replied with a slight laugh, William was speechless and upset at Marrie's reply.
"But I also feel lucky to have such a responsible husband like you, I feel lucky to live among all of you and thank you to my family" Marrie said, William and Jester laughed at Marrie's words.
The journey that spent an hour was filled with happy feelings, the three of them filled the journey with joking as usual that seemed to be their routine every time they gathered together. A moment that is so meaningful for the three after going through a period - a time that is quite heavy since the kidnapping incident carried out by Arthur to the three of them, the three of them, since that incident it has been difficult to get a moment like this, almost every day filled with tension in the residence of Jester's grandfather. An hour later, a Mercedes Benz S 450 was seen approaching in front of the campus lobby.
In front of the lobby, Selena was seen with two suitcases standing waiting for Jester's arrival, there is also a middle-aged man named Alex who will be a driver for Jester and Selena to get to where their race will be held. Not long Jester immediately went down after saying goodbye to William and Marrie, once Jester closed the door Mercedes Benz S 450 was immediately drove off Jester.
Jester turned around and walked over to Selena who was astonished at Jester, getting a look like that made Jester confused about her appearance today. Jester checked his clothes, pants and shoes several times and then tidied his hair and rubbed his face trying to find out what made Selena look surprised to look at Jester.
"Is there something wrong with my appearance?" asked Jester in a confused tone
"Sister.. you know we're going away for...one week?" ask Selena back then
"Yup" Jester replied briefly
"You know we're not going home?" ask Selena again to try fishing Jester
"Yes, you know, which fool would take an eight-hour road trip in this prestigious race?" ask Jester back in an annoyed tone, Selena sighed.
"That means you forget about your luggage" said Selena concluded because Jester did not bring anything other than a small bag that Jester used to carry to put his cellphone and wallet when outside the room.
"Oh my luggage, I did not bring it" replied Jester without burden, Jester's answer made Selena look at Jester with a face as if disgusted.
"Well, will you wear that shirt for a week?" asked Selena again sounding disgusted at the thought of Jester's throat
"It's not like that!!! I'll buy it there, I was lazy so I decided to buy my clothes there and when I was going home usually the clothes I bought I would give to people who wanted them" replied Jester
"That's right and I've always been the first to pick up clothes that Jester wanted to throw away for my son" Alex said, lifting up two of Selena's luggage to carry her into the trunk of her Hyundai Staria, at the same time Jester turned around to enter the Hyundai Staria but arrived - arrived Selena pulled Jester's clothes to stop Jester's steps.
"Where is Naomi sister?" selena asked immediately as she pulled on the back of Jester's shirt, Jester turned to look at Selena.
"She is being held captive by my grandfather in my grandfather's house.I am forbidden to meet him until my plan is done" Jester replied in a voice that sounded sad, Selena was surprised to hear Jester's words.
Selena is surprised to find out that Naomi was held captive by Jester's grandfather, all this time who Selena knows both Jester and Naomi as well - just fine running a challenge from Arthur. As someone who had been very close to Naomi, Selena was a little worried about the departure of Jester who instead left Naomi while Selena was very understanding that only Jester could provide calm and comfort for Naomi.
"Why are you leaving?! you're supposed to be me.." Selena said, Jester cut.
"All my plans are mature, it's just a matter of time until finally Naomi and I will get back together" Jester said, trying to calm down and look good, but Selena understands if Jester keeps her feelings of worry deep in order not to interfere with her concentration and focus.
"I know you are harboring your worries, I also understand your calmness is also to support your plan so that your grandfather is off guard and not be aware of all the movements - you gerik. But..." Selena hung up her sentence and smiled sweetly at Jester
"In front of me you don't have to act strong, I will try to make you really feel calm. So if you want to let me hear all your turmoil for one week" Selena said continuing her sentence that she had hung earlier, Jester smiled and looked back at Selena.
"You don't have to do that Selena, between me and you it's clear what our relationship is going to be like. I only regard you as my friend and best friend, if you still hold your love for me. I suggest immediately bury the taste deep" jester said firmly although in Jester's heart it feels heavy to say a sentence that can hurt Selena, slowly Selena release her hands from Jester's clothes.
"I'm sorry Selena. I don't want to hurt your heart but. I have to be firm not to be impressed to give hope because my heart has been given entirely to Naomi" sounded sad when Jester said it.
"I know.. I know it's all brother.. but harboring a love that has long since grown is not easy. although I know my love only claps one hand, I understood the risk because of me.." as much as Selena made her stop to speak, hearing Selena crying as it made Jester turn and look at Selena who was looking down.
"...Because I'm so happy when I'm loved by you, though I know it's not a feeling of love. And about this old unrequited love of mine, it's never gonna end, but I'm fine.." selena said then ran past Jester just like that to Hyundai Staria which was parked in front of the campus lobby, Selena entered in the back seat and closed the door once Selena was sitting in it.
"Damn, what's the drama of my life after this" muttered Jester then turned around and walked into the car owned by the campus.
An eight-hour trip to the city that hosts the prestigious race between universities will be passed by Jester and Selena, respectively, leaving all the problems with Naomi who is still confined in the Gates mansion makes Jester seem reluctant to leave. But seeing the purpose of Jester to make Arthur off guard, then this needs Jester to do even though his heart feels heavy.
