I Borrowed Him
Next Stage
A clear night in a downtown cafe that is quite crowded with visitors, among the people who became visitors to the cafe, it was seen Daniel and Camilla were sitting face to face. Not long after a waiters came over and put down a glass of drink that Camilla had ordered before, both of them were silent for a long time while staring at each other. Meeting for the umpteenth time to discuss their plans for Naomi and Jester, the pair of ex-lovers look excited and compact every time discussing their plans dominated by Camilla's devious plans.
"You... know where?" daniel asked Camilla, with a cynical smile Camilla looked at Daniel.
"From the observation of each of their motions" Camilla answered briefly
"You're a horrible person huh.." chirped Daniel responded to Camilla's reply with a slight stammer, Camilla laughed at Daniel's curse at the time.
"You're not the first one to say it" he overwrote Camilla with a laugh, for a moment both of them fell silent and enjoyed their drinks.
"But there's one thing I don't understand" Camilla said in a confused voice, Camilla's confusion drawing Daniel's attention.
"About what?" daniel asked in a curious tone.
"Band...why did Naomi bother playing a band to rebel from her parents?" camilla asked, confused
Information about Naomi's plan to play a band to rebel to her parents was the only information that escaped Camilla's observation, with Daniel delivering this news, Camilla felt that Daniel was starting to prepare for the action because he began to dig up some information about Naomi.
"Maybe it had something to do when we were in second grade High School, when Naomi was interested in playing guitar and learning from me" Daniel replied surmising
"Why indeed?" camilla asked him to try to find out what all that information had to do with Daniel's story.
"When we were in second grade High School, we happened to be dating in a downtown mall. Incidentally there was a performing band and the guitarist was playing very well, at that time I saw Naomi sparkling eyes staring at the guitarist as if she was fascinated. Jealousy I asked, why so fixated on staring at the guitarist. Then Naomi just answered. I want to be like that guitarist" Daniel replied telling her past with Naomi.
"Ooh.. then? what does this have to do with Naomi's rebellion?" ask Camilla again curious
"You know I'm also a guitarist? I trained him and.." Daniel didn't finish saying, Camilla cut.
"You trained him at your house or at your boarding house?" ask Camilla again chimed in on Daniel's story that Camilla broke up.
"I trained her at Naomi's house." Daniel answered, Camilla looked at Daniel in wonder.
"That's right, I often visit Naomi's house" Daniel said, Camilla laughed at Daniel's words at the time.
"Why laugh?" ask Daniel in wonder
"You used to play at his house a lot but why did his mother reject you?" camilla asked curiously and laughed a little.
"That's because I went there with the status of a classmate, plus there used to be frequent first-class group assignments at High School and from there I often visited Naomi's house" Daniel replied sounding annoyed
"OK... then?" ask Camilla
"Then I trained him for three months with my guitar and he was talented to be a guitarist, until one day, approximately the sixth month arrived - he invited me to buy an electric guitar for him. But all of that was the beginning of a tragedy that might be imprinted for him." replied Daniel told about his story with Naomi, for a moment Daniel fell silent and downed his drink.
"Whether it really is the trigger or not. Naomi bought a Flying V type guitar with her name engraved and my initials, Naomi ordered it specifically because Naomi has her own pattern design. Naomi was so happy with the end result and said she had already named the guitar by name... Naiels was taken from his first name and last name" said Daniel continued his story, his gaze was shifted to look at the window that can see the beautiful stars - the stars of the night.
Recollecting the story of his beautiful past with Naomi makes Daniel feel sad because he is now so far away and feels he is starting to lose Naomi completely, her heart is so hurt by the fact that Naomi is about to marry Jester in the near future. Naomi was the only woman Daniel loved so much, his great love made him so afraid of losing Naomi that - until he made her do the wrong way at that time amid his desperation to reclaim Naomi from Jester. The way that even makes it further away and lose Naomi.
"I look at it like a kid who gets candy after a long time is not allowed to eat candy by his mother, you know what that means? he was so excited when he held the guitar and told me that if he was so impatient to try it at home, we went home to Naomi together to practice guitar together again. But that day I saw it like someone who got on a plane and then dropped off the plane just like that" Daniel said
"What does that mean? your parable is so confusing" Camilla asked with a slight laugh, Daniel turned his gaze to look at Camilla with sad eyes.
"After his mood was in a very happy condition but it was only a few hours, he immediately got disappointed" Daniel replied in a tone that sounded sad.
"What's going on? the guitar is damaged or defective?" camilla asked with a cynical smile
"When we got home, Naomi's mother intercepted us in her yard. At that time Naomi looked happy and wanted to show the guitar to her mother, but instead of being happy, Naomi's mother looked at Naomi with a very angry look..." daniel replied and leaving Camilla speechless with a flat face, Daniel drank his drink again before finally continuing the story.
Patiently and without feeling Camilla listened to the story of her former lover, while looking for a gap in the possibility of it being able to use it to attack Naomi. Camilla's cunning is difficult to doubt, with the pain she has over Naomi making Camilla so try to take advantage of all the moments that exist to smooth out her plans.
"Selena happens to be in the house because she was called by Naomi, she wants to show off her new guitar... but Naomi's mother told Selena to destroy the guitar in front of Naomi and me right then and there. Selena was petrified and did not want to obey the orders of Naomi's mother, but in the end Selena seemed to have no choice anymore. He immediately took the guitar from Naomi's embrace and apologized... Selena destroyed the guitar by hitting the floor guitar to shatter into pieces" Daniel continued his story
"Sorry mother yes" said Camilla, for a moment the two were silent for a while while enjoying each other's drinks.
"What did Naomi do after that?" ask Camilla
"After confirming that the guitar was completely destroyed in Selena's hands, Naomi's mother left the three of us in front of the courtyard of the house. Naomi just fell silent with a trembling body staring at the rest of the destroyed guitar, not long after she ran into the house. I'm sure she was crying at the time" replied Daniel.
"Okay. I get it" Camilla chirped in a calm voice.
"Understand what?" ask Daniel
"Understand if you're really stupid" Camilla's laughter answered Daniel's question, hearing the taunts upset Daniel about Camilla because Camilla had been mocking him.
"You know, if it was Jester, then she wouldn't let Naomi run crying by herself" Camilla said at the time and left Daniel in wonder.
"I know him and that's what makes me love him, look forward to my next direction. Ooh yes, payin ya~" said Camilla then left Daniel in that place with a sweet smile, although looks upset but Daniel did not intend to refuse Camilla's request.
The night turned morning and Jester was seen opening his eyes in a very luxurious room in the Gates mansion, slowly Jester moved from the bed to prepare to do his daily routine. Walk to the bathroom in the room, start from urinating, brushing your teeth, washing your face, and then tidying your hair. So sure his appearance was tidy, Jester again wanted to go to his mattress but his steps stopped when his cellphone on the table rang.
Jester stared at the phone screen and saw who called him this morning, with the name "Sarah". Jester picked up the phone immediately
***
"Yes Sarah" Jester said as he picked up the phone
"Arielle Corp's stock has sold out, now the next step. You must immediately meet our representatives who will be heading to the main office of Exo" said Sarah sounded excited
"Of course, tell your representative to meet me at nine" Jester said seriously
"Good president of Jester" Sarah said with a joke
"Come on. You shouldn't call me that" angrily Jester said, Sarah laughed.
"What's wrong, any minute you will indeed be my president" Sarah timpal said with a laugh, Jester was laughing carried away by Sarah's laughter.
"You didn't forget your promise, did you?" ask Sarah in the words
"No, I will arrange your meeting immediately" replied Jester firmly, the sound of Sarah's sigh of relief was heard from behind the phone.
"Alright, thank you Jester" said Sarah then disconnected her phone line.

Jester looked back at his cellphone screen and before long the sound of knocking on the door was heard, Jester's eyes were diverted to look at the door and his feet immediately walked to open the room door. As soon as the door opened, Jester saw a smiling William excitedly staring at Jester.
"What's wrong? that smile gave me goosebumps" jester chirped with a slightly scared face looking at William.
"Mama got word from Madame Jessica if their budget is ready to spend, their shopping list also matches Exo's goods stored in the warehouse. You can immediately begin the second stage of your plan" William replied sounding delighted and excited, with a proud pompous smile full of Jester staring at William.
"I thought my plan would go very well. I am a true genius" Jester arrogantly said, Jester and William laughed together to echo throughout the corridor of the house and surprised the two maid-clad women who always stood in front of Jester's room.
"Let's go to Exo's office!" william excitedly said it, Jester immediately walked out of the room and followed William to the courtyard of the house.
The steps of two people who are full of enthusiasm to carry out the action are so felt, the relationship of father and son is so compact it is increasingly felt with cooperation between the two. For the first time Jester worked with his father in business because all this time his life was only focused on lectures and his love story. One thing William is proud of is feeling his son is able to handle the business world.
Jester and William's trip to Exo Fashion and Style headquarters took almost two hours to travel using Arthur's Mercedes Benz S450, in front of the lobby of an office building that has a fifty-floor Mercedes Benz S450 which was boarded by Jester and William stopped. Not long Jester and William got out of the car and were greeted by the office security guard, seeing William's whereabouts when the office security guard immediately lowered his head.
"Good morning, Mr. William Gates" said the security guard, William just patted the guard on the shoulder and walked into the building past the guard. While the Jester who was right behind William arrived - suddenly stopped by the security guard, it made Jester surprised.
"What's wrong?" ask Jester to the security guard
"Sorry sir, please go to the checkpoint of the luggage" the security guard politely replied
"Huh? why just me?" jester asked in surprise, the security guard just turned to look at William who was still walking in and then looked back at Jester.
"Because he is the owner while you are a guest who is with him, so please come closer to the checkpoint" replied the security guard
"I'm the son of the man you let in front of, doesn't my face look like him?!" annoyed with Jester saying so, the commotion made William turn his head to look at Jester.
"Woi son, why talk to the security guard?! fast in!" somewhat shouting William said it, hearing William's words made the security guard who stopped Jester from sweating coldly.
"I don't know, please enter the young master" said the security guard sounding trembling in fear like being struck by lightning in a hole, Jester walked away from the security guard just like that.
"What happened son?" ask William with a laugh
"What happens irritates me, it's better to forget it" Jester said with annoyance, William laughed out loud.
"Son, try your style fox, maybe you do have a problem there" William said, hearing the words of William makes Jester suddenly remembered Naomi who always had problems with the style that Jester always used. His smile arrived and made William wonder at Jester, for a moment William turned his gaze to press the elevator button.
"Let's guess you suddenly remember Miss Naomi" William chirped again, Jester was surprised to hear William's curse.
"Huh? papa's a psychic now?" jester asked in a surprised tone, William laughed.
"There's no need to be a psychic if it's just an expression on your face, son" replied William, William's answer upset Jester.
"How do you end up feeling in love and loved?" william asked while looking at Jester, got the question made Jester silent for a moment and not long the elevator door opened. Jester and William get into the elevator, and William immediately presses the number four six.
"I feel happy every time I meet him and very sad when parting like this. I was happy with my experience of loving and being loved by him." replied Jester then the elevator door closed along with William's laughter which sounded so happy to hear Jester's answer.
