In the afternoon in front of the famous private campus lobby where Jester studied, Hyundai Staria walked slowly and stopped right in front of the lobby. In front of the lobby was seen both Selena's parents standing waiting for the arrival of Selena, not long Jester and Selena also get off the car with a face that looks happy and sumringah. With the victory trophy, Selena ran around the Hyundai Staria and approached both Selena's parents to show off her trophy, both of Selena's parents look happy and proud of the victory brought by Selena.
"This is my trophy of victory for the eighth time in a lifetime!" in a voice that sounded very happy Selena said
Selena who since elementary school often won various races was proud to show off her trophy this time to her parents. The proud face of Selena's parents always appeared as an appreciation for her daughter's success. As has become a tradition, every time the race is finished, both parents Selena always welcome his return.
"Congratulations dear" said Selena's mother and hugged her tightly, while Selena's father stroked Selena's head gently and proudly.
"Oh yes, my mother's father.This is Jester Gates" said Selena introduced Jester to her father and mother, immediately Jester thrust his hand to shake hands with Selena's father.
"Sir and Mrs Parker, greetings" said Jester, Selena's father shaking Jester's hand and smiling kindly.
"Young Mr. Gates, greetings. Thank you for being Selena's friend" Selena's father told Jester
"I want to go up first to put this trophy in the cup" Selena told her father and mother, Selena then pulled Jester's hand to enter the lobby to go to the dean's room on the fifth floor.
In the elevator at that time Selena's smile was still visible, her hands were so strong holding the victory trophy they both. Seeing Selena's behavior at that time made Jester happy even though it felt so surprising, considering this is not the first trophy Selena as Selena said before if it was her eighteenth trophy until now.
"It's not your first trophy..why is that happy?" jester asked curiously, Selena turned to look at Jester.
"Come, I was so excited when I saw this trophy" Selena replied, Jester laughing.
"Perhaps because this is your first trophy for university" said Jester, hearing Selena's answer, turned her gaze to look at the trophy and lifted it up a little until Selena could see the inscription on the trophy. Engraved by the names of Jester Gates and Selena Parker and the year of victory, Selena's smile returned and embraced the trophy again.
"Perhaps..." Selena said it and the elevator door opened, Selena excitedly jumped out of the elevator and turned to look at Jester with her sweet smile.
"Let's put this cup in its place!" sounding very excited Selena said it and again made Jester laugh, Selena walked first and followed Jester to the campus trophy room.
In the cup room there are only nine trophies that have been neatly arranged in a glass box, Selena looks surprised to see the acquisition of the campus trophy. As if not believe the campus is so famous as it only has a little trophy, slowly Selena entered into the cup room and immediately saw - see the trophies - the trophies are neatly arranged in the glass box. There Selena looked at Jester's name in all the trophies, then slowly looked at Selena looking at Jester who was standing leaning against the door frame.
"All.... this cup.... You won it?" selena asked in surprise
"Yes, this campus is famous for its accreditation but unfortunately people are too reluctant to compete, he said, most of them are children of rich people whose future is guaranteed because of the wealth of parents so" answer Jester flatly
"The cup was included in the academic so put it in the right cabinet, it's sad because there is only one trophy there" while pointing to one of Jester's cabinets said, ' he said, Selena turned her head according to Jester's hand and there was only one trophy.
Slowly Selena walked up to the cupboard and read the inscription, with the same competition but it had been won one year earlier. The name Jester Gates and Johan Laporta, then slowly Selena again looked at Jester.
"Who... Johan Laporta?" ask Selena curiously
"She's the big brother of our generation and has passed, the only one who was excited when the selection was about to begin. In that year, only four people including me participated in the race. Therefore, when many come this year, the dean becomes very happy even if the dean knows the reason why, he will definitely come back sad" replied Jester with a little laugh, Selena smiled again.
"That means I became the first female companion of Jester's sister who together won a trophy for the university?" selena asked, Selena's question at that time reminded Jester when they both came to the square festival for the first time.
"Eeh. yaah.. it seems so.." replied Jester stammered because confused to answer what, Selena turned and opened the glass cabinet and put the trophy she won next to the Jester and Johan trophies. Slowly Selena closed the closet again and walked around every glass cabinet while touching it with her right hand, Selena's behavior at that time made Jester wonder.
"What's wrong?" jester asked Selena, with a slight sound of laughter Selena again walked up to Jester with a smile.
"Let's go grab the other trophies and fill this glass cabinet full with the trophies we won" Selena softly told Jester, hearing Selena's words made Jester laugh and stick out her hand to do a fist bump with Selena.
"Let's do it, Selena" excitedly Jester said, Selena welcomes Jester's fist bump
"Come on!" timpal Selena also sounded excited
Both of them came out of the room and closed the door with small talk and full of laughter, the familiarity between Jester and Selena was very visible at that time. In front of the campus lobby, William, Marrie, Selena's father and mother were chatting together while waiting for the presence of Jester and Selena, who were both present, seeing the presence of Jester and Selena at the same time a big smile was seen from the faces of William, Marrie, Selena's father and mother.
With small talk for a few minutes, they split up to go home. On the Gates family trip that afternoon using Mercedes Benz S450, seen William, Marrie and Jester talking with serious talks, now Jester must return to concentration to face the challenge of Arthur.
"Development so far has been good, it's just that Evans' condition continues to deteriorate, I hope you take the next step immediately. His thoughts about Naomi being held captive by your grandfather make Evans' health condition continue to deteriorate" William said worriedly, Jester felt guilty when he heard William's words.
"After this, I'll sign several buy-and-sell contracts between Exo and Arielle. Sarah I gave instructions, when Exo had money to buy shares from friends.that's when I won this bet" Jester explained the continuation of his plan, Marrie turned her body to look at Jester who was sitting in the back.
"Jess, mommy is just as papa can't really find where Naomi is in Grandpa's house. Is it possible.. Grandpa took her out of the house?" marrie asked Jester, with Jester's annoyed face looking at Marrie.
"Mama, I don't know either" Jester replied sounding annoyed
"Mama, do you think about that. Papa said that your grandfather must have kept Naomi inside the house, but mom thought that your grandfather took Naomi away from the house" Marrie said guessing, Jester thought for a moment while staring at the street through the side window.
"Why are you so sure, son?" asked William curiously, Jester turned his gaze to look William in the eye from the rearview mirror in the car.
"Because I haven't heard Naomi's screams for a week, either it's just my intuition or it's the way it is, but I believe in my intuition" Jester replied with a smile that seemed to break open, seeing Jester who was so confident in his feelings at that time made William and Marrie feel relieved.
The journey taken for one hour and fifteen minutes was filled with stories of Jester as he and Selena struggled to win the race, Marrie was so proud of Jester who inherited his intelligence. Until finally Mercedes Benz S 450 was seen approaching a towering house fence following the contours of the hills, the fence was seen to open automatically when the Mercedes Benz S450 was very close.
At the Gates residence when the Mercedes Benz S450 that William drove to the front of the house, almost simultaneously Jester, William and Marrie got out of the car. Soon a man dressed in a black tuxedo approached them and received a car key from William and brought the Mercedes Benz s450 back to the garage, while Jester, who was still in the middle of the car, took it back to the garage, William and Marrie walked into the house with laughter and small talk.
Along the way from the courtyard to Jester's room, between William, Marrie and Jester came pleasant chatter. The sound of laughter and their chatter was heard echoing in the corridor of the house to make the workers who were there staring at each other to their colleagues, a voice that had not been heard in the house for a long time was the sound of laughter. Some of the workers who heard the laughter of Jester, William and Marrie at that time were seen smiling at each other carried by the familiarity of the Gates small family.
Until finally in front of Jester's room at that time, William and Marrie separated to return to their respective rooms. Inside Jester's room saw two maid-clothed women standing near the entrance, with astonished faces as Jester stared at the two.
"What are you guys here for?" jester asked the two ladies dressed in maid clothes
"We wait for orders if young master Jester needs us" replied one of the women, Jester scratching his forehead for a moment.
"No need, I need a break so please come out" Jester ordered, immediately the two women came out of Jester's room and closed the door slowly.
That night felt lonely for Jester when he was in the room, felt very different when Jester was still with Naomi in the room. Moreover, Jester had not met Naomi for a whole week, even her voice had not been heard for one week. Jester walked up to the window in the room and stared at the beautiful hills at dusk, his gaze so sad at the thought of Naomi.
"Are you really all right... Naomi.." murmured Jester
Before long the sound of knocking on the door sounded, someone seemed to want to see Jester at that moment. Jester turned around and walked over to the door to open it and find out who was knocking on it, as soon as the door opened when Jester saw Julius. With a smile Julius looked at Jester who looked annoyed, despite getting a look like that, but Julius did not remove the smile from his face.
"Welcome back young master Jetser, I heard from Mr. William if you win that inter-university competition. Julius congratulates him on his victory, may it rub off on your plan to defeat great master Arthur" Julius sounds happy to say, but Jester's facial expression still looks upset.
"Thank you" Jester replied briefly
"I got a call from Jeremy and Burgess, at the young master's command, I've done my job well" Julius said in a voice that sounded serious but whispered a little, Jester smiled at Julius.
"I know, my friend already said it and Arielle's shares are in my hands as well. With this I can immediately launch my other plans, then what about grandfather? any movement?" jester asked Julius in a voice that was also heard whispering.
"Young master is so ignored by the great master, Julius hopes that the young master can take this opportunity as well as possible" Julius still whispered
"I understand, then.. Can I ask you about Naomi?" jester asked Julius, briefly silent for a while - suddenly Julius smiled again.
"Young Miss Scott is fine, young master need not worry. The sooner the young master's plan goes, the sooner the two of you will get back together" Julius replied trying to calm Jester down, but Jester was not satisfied with Julius' answer but Jester understood very well that he could not do anything at a time like this.
"I miss him" Jester murmured and sighed, Julius laughing at Jester's muttering as he turned to leave Jester there.
"Take this test of your love, miss it and solve it when you meet later" Julius said as he walked away from Jester there, with Jester's annoyed face staring at Julius who was getting away from him. Slowly Jester closes the door and lays down on the bed to rest, for a moment Jester tries to forget his longing for Naomi by sleeping.
At night, in a cafe in the city center that looks quite crowded by visitors. Seen Daniel who was enjoying his drink he ordered while scrolling through the phone screen, his eyes were fixed on the mobile phone screen displaying various news about the marriage of Jester and Naomi in various news ingram accounts that Daniel followed. As if all the news was now focusing on the marriage of Jester and Naomi, Daniel's heart was burning to read the news.
It was not long before Camilla walked up to Daniel's desk, but her steps stopped for a moment to order a drink to the waiters who happened to cross paths with her. After making sure the order was recorded, Camilla again walked up to Daniel and sat face to face with Daniel. The two did not stare at each other because Daniel was still looking focused on the screen and his hands were busy scrolling the screen, with a sigh of Camilla trying to get Daniel's attention.
"It's not hot yet your heart keeps scrolling ingram? all the news must be on the wedding of Jester and Naomi" said Camilla, who sounded without burden, as if Camilla did not think about Daniel's feelings.
"Shut up" Daniel replied briefly and sounded a little angry, hearing Daniel being angry made Camilla laugh.
"Have you brought me the news I want to hear?" camilla asked Daniel, Daniel slowly put his cell phone on the table and turned his attention to look at Camilla.
"There will be a big event involving Naomi, my friend said... Naomi will display the figure that she has been quiet with how to play the guitar. The song chosen is also a hard rock type, it seems to fit your expectations... Naomi will rebel against her parents" replied Daniel, Camilla smiled cynically at Daniel's reply.
"Today my friend who works at the hospital Scott said Naomi's father was lying sick, but Naomi never showed up to visit. You know what that means?" camilla asked, hearing that question astonished Daniel.
"Ti..no.. What is it?" daniel asked in surprise, Camilla laughed again because of Daniel's stupidity.
"It is fitting that you are dumped by Naomi, besides being poor you are not smart either" Camilla sneered and laughed loudly, Daniel who felt offended at that time could only throw his face with a face that looks annoyed.
Often Camilla happily cornered and mocked Daniel's stupidity without thinking about his feelings, but the upset Daniel was unable to retaliate and do anything because he needed Camilla to carry out his plan.
"Naomi seems unable to get out of where she is now, not knowing where she is now. When I went to college one week ago just as Jester and Selena were leaving town for the race... Naomi was also absent, with which I drew a conclusion... Naomi is being held by Arthur Gates because she is very unhappy with all the news that has been circulating" Camilla explained her perception to Daniel
