I Borrowed Him
Triumph
A bright morning in a house that looks luxurious at the top of the hills edge of the city, Jester was seen opening his eyes in one of the rooms in the house. As usual Jester started his activity from urinating in the bathroom in the room, then continued by brushing his teeth, reflecting and tidying up his appearance. When finished, Jester walked out of the bathroom in the room and not long heard a knock on the door.
Immediately Jester opened the door to see who came to him that morning, William looked eagerly at Jester who had just opened the door for him. While giving a letter to Jester that contains an invitation to conduct a general meeting of shareholders in Arielle Corp, with a smile Jester received the letter and read it carefully.
"The show starts, son!" william excitedly said it
"Is there no movement from grandfather?" ask Jester curiously
"Your grandfather shut himself in the room from the moment he learned this news from Jeremy and Burgess, it looks like now is your last gamble" William replied with a feeling of high optimism, Jester immediately came out of his room and walked to the courtyard of the house
"Let's go, papa, let's finish this" with Jester happy to say, Jester and William walked towards the courtyard of the house but halfway through Julius intercepted them.
With hurried steps and facial expressions showing the panic Julius intercepts Jester and William to convey the situation of Arthur that he knows. There is a feeling of guilt from Julius because he was worried that he could no longer help Jester in silence from Arthur.
"Young master, it seems that great master Arthur is planning something to scuttle all your plans" Julius said as he passed Jester
"What will grandpa do?" ask Jester curiously
"Big master Arthur asked me to get out of his room so Julius had no idea what the big master was up to" Julius replied worriedly, but Jester seemed unaffected by Julius' concerns. His triumphant smile still lingered on his face, Jester's feeling of optimism making Julius even more worried.
"Everything will be according to Julius' plan, look forward to the next news" Jester chirped as he walked back to the courtyard of the house followed by William.
At home, Jester waited for a worker at the Gates residence to bring a Mercedes Benz S450 car from the garage to the front of the court. Once the car was perfectly parked in front of Jester, immediately Jester and William boarded the car and immediately drove the car to the office building owned by Arielle Corp. An hour and fifteen minutes later, Jester and William arrived in front of the Arielle Corp office lobby, where Sarah and Jessica were waiting for Jester and William to arrive.
Jester, Sarah, William and Jessica walked together towards the sixth floor where the general meeting of shareholders would be held, in a room on the sixth floor, Jester saw Jeremy and Burgess with pale faces staring at him. Jester, William, Jessica and Sarah sat in their seats, and Sarah, who was the leader of the meeting, began the meeting that morning.
The meeting that went wrong because of Jeremy and Burgess' refusal to appoint Jester as president director made a little friction, not infrequently between William, Jeremy and burgess happened to be snapped. However, the number of votes set Jester to become president director at Arielle Corp, Jeremy and Burgess could not do anything at the time because Jessica and Sarah as shareholders chose Jester to lead the company.
There Jester signed a direct cooperation and takeover of Arielle Corp to become a subsidiary of Exo Fashion and Style, as soon as the letter was signed immediately Jeremy and Burgess came out of the room with their defeat. Seeing the condition was right in accordance with the wishes of Jester, at that time Jester and Sarah cheered happily as well as William and Jessica who laughed heartily - bahak imagine defeat Arthur.
Jessica and Sarah intend to invite Jester and William to celebrate the victory, but Jester refuses. Jester says if the task is still there, the words of Jester make William, Jessica and Sarah surprised because all Jester's plans have gone perfectly. With a smile full of relief, Jester said that if he was impatient to meet with Naomi who was held captive by Arthur for almost a month, hearing Jester's answer made Jessica and Sarah understand Jester's feelings.
After Jessica and Sarah give a cheerful speech, Jester and William leave the office building to return to the Gates mansion. Outside the office at that time Jester only realized if the morning had changed with a cloudy afternoon with a little speck of rain, Jester's heart suddenly pounded hard enough to look at the cloudy sky. William who felt Jester's heart arrive - suddenly became unsettled - finally asked why it arrived - suddenly Jester lost his smile, with a feeling of worry Jester said if cloudy and a little rain like this is often a bad sign for him.
With a loud laugh William responds to Jester's anxiety, William attempts to re-improve Jester's spirit. But Jester only responded to William's efforts with a sigh and a smile, then they both went back on their way to return to the Gates mansion. An hour and fifteen minutes passed and the Mercedes Benz S450 driven by Jester and William to the front of the courtyard of Gates' large residence, there the guard looks looser than the absence of the main doorman of the house.
The view that makes Jester and William surprised, his feet stepped slowly to enter the house and in the house looks Julius was waiting for the arrival of Jester. With a smile Julius looked at Jester and then gave a gesture to Jester to follow him, without much questioning Jester and William soon follow William to one of the rooms that used to be the first place for Jester to meet with Arthur and accept a challenge from Arthur. Julius opens the door and allows Jester and William to enter, in which Jester sees Arthur, Andrews, Phillips, and Naomi already in the room as if waiting for Jester's arrival.
Jester and William walk in to approach Arthur, Andrews, and Phillips standing in front of their seats, while Naomi is seen standing to Arthur's right. The look in her eyes looks happy when she sees Jester after a full month they do not see each other, Naomi's tears are not unstoppable because they are too happy.
"Naomi.." murmured Jester in a relieved tone to see her lover well - fine.
"Young Gates, I can't believe you can fool me so well. Your calm and stupid attitude made me reduce my vigilance towards you, I'm impressed by your silent operation to make Arielle Corp a subsidiary of Exo that made Exo number one ahead of Arielle Corp and made Julius my right-hand man betray me. You deserve to be my successor, are you satisfied with this achievement of yours?" arthur asked in a voice that sounded heavy and pressing
The words of greeting and praise were also insinuations thrown from Arthur for Jester and made all those who were there again tense and afraid of what Arthur would do to Jester.
"No" replied Jester firmly, Jester's answer made Arthur, Andrews, William, Phillips and Naomi surprised.
"What makes you dissatisfied?" arthur asked in surprise
"Because all of this made me miss a full month of my teenage years and my pleasant college days, I was lonely because of Naomi's absence, and worse.... I have to know some facts that make me sad" Jester replied in a tone that sounded sad.
"Fact?" ask Arthur
"Uncle Andrews is a person who is not much different from me and papa, he's a person who likes to joke and loving but. all the restraints of grandfather make uncle a cold person, he was a person, not to mention the uncle who left Sarah.I have witnessed the destruction of a family." replied Jester.
"Uncle Philips' children are also in a state of distress and uncle Phillips asked me to return the two children to study in art, I thought Uncle Phillips was a cuckoo but it turns out that it was only when there was a grandfather around us. I had witnessed someone to always wear a mask and not be able to express himself..." jester continued in an increasingly assertive voice
"Last, I promised Naomi I'd do it all together, it might be true that Naomi had her own duty to help me but in this one month I really felt lonely for her absence by my side..." with a slightly audible tone there was anger as Jester spoke
"Grandfather, are you happy now? I have defeated you and fulfilled your expectations, right? maybe the way I don't like it but I don't need to worry about the way I do it, I'll just give my best and figure out the way to hurt people the least. Are you happy now?" jester asked with a press, Arthur laughed at Jester's words.
An outpouring of emotion conveyed by Jester, Jester's tenderness full of empathy makes him want the Gates family to be a warm family. Andrews and Philips who heard Jester's complaint were shocked but at the same time proud of his nephew, for years both Andrews and Philips only dared to follow the rules of Arthur and did not dare to refuse any request of Arthur, they hope that the complaints and presence of Jester can restore the warmth that once existed in the great Gates residence.
"Remember what I said and you must be ready to face whatever obstacles are waiting for you, I hereby officially give you the chair of the president of the Gates Family Group" arthur said it while patting both shoulders Jester, got a pat on both shoulders when it made Jester stunned face Arthur who smiled.
Arthur turned and looked at Naomi and called Naomi with a gesture to get Naomi down to approach her, got the gesture immediately Naomi walked through several steps to approach Arthur who turned back to Jester. Arthur's big hand patted Naomi's right shoulder, with a warm-looking smile Arthur looked at Naomi.
"So he kid, Jester is too naive to be a person. You and him will complement each other, with this I bless your marriage" Arthur said, then Arthur clapped his hands and arrived - all the workers in the house entered the room neatly and orderly.
"You all listen to me!! I am no longer your master but the Jester who will lead you all, show your loyalty to your new master!!" a bit of a scream Arthur said it, Arthur's voice so echoed at that time and made Jester feel creepy. The worker immediately bowed to pay homage to Jester, simultaneously they said one sentence together.
"We are loyal to the great master Jester Gates!!" simultaneously all the workers said it, Jester until it turned slowly staring at all the workers who filled and surrounded him while looking down.
"Jester, I have permission to rest" Arthur softly uttered and walked away from the room
"Grandfather!" jester chirps when Arthur had only stepped a few times, Arthur stopped his steps for a moment and turned to look at Jester.
"There's two more things I want to ask grandfather for" Jester said
"Tell me" said Arthur
"First about Sarah, she wants to talk to you directly to find out what really happened" Jester said firmly
"Well, just arrange a meeting with him" Arthur accepted Jester's request
"Second...can our relationship be better as his grandfather and grandson? living life as William is one of them is to appreciate family ties" pinta Jester, Arthur stunned for a moment while looking at the face of Jester right standing behind him.
"Living like William yes, I don't really understand but your second request we'll talk about later" Arthur replied and walked back to the room followed by Andrews and Phillips
Jester just continued to look at Arthur who walked away from them to the exit behind the throne chair, had time to daydream but the daydream soon broke for a moment when Naomi arrived - suddenly hugged Jester so tightly. Naomi buried her face in the field of Jester, while Jester looked at the ubun Naomi with a smile and stroked Naomi's head gently.
"I miss you~" Naomi said, looking up at Jester's face
"I miss you so much more" Jester chimed in with a happy-sounding voice, Naomi shaking her head several times as if to reject Jester's words.
"I miss you more than you miss me" Naomi replied not to lose to Jester, hearing Naomi's words upset Jester.
"No no Naomi, I miss you so much and miss you more" Jester said, not wanting to lose to Naomi, with Naomi's angry face now staring at Jester.
"I'm the first one to miss you, which means I miss you more!!" with a slight snatch Naomi said it
"But that's not fair because I was daydreaming, if I hadn't been daydreaming then I'd have said I missed you first" in an annoyed tone Jester said, jester and Naomi's quarrel continued until William had to intervene
"Oorraaahh!!!" william shouted while slamming Jester with judo techniques, seeing his lover slammed just in front of his eyes made Naomi surprised to not be able to say anything.
"Ughh!! papa!! what - what the hell is that?! adduuuh duhh!" jester groaned while rolling on the floor
"Living like William teaches us to give in to women, son, have you forgotten that teaching?!" snapped William, Jester stood up and tried to avenge William's actions. Action against each other with judo techniques was inevitable before Naomi, soon Naomi laughed out loud - bahak to make William who crab Jester avert his eyes to look at Naomi.
"What are you laughing at Miss Naomi?" william asked in surprise, for a moment Naomi tried to stop laughing.
"Sick..." murmured Jester who was still curled by William.
"I don't know papa..maybe because I'm used to this kind of scene, I hope you don't mind the way I laugh" replied Naomi who was still a little laughing, a little laugh, William took off his pocket and stood up and squeezed both of Naomi's shoulders.
"Papa don't mind Miss Naomi! laugh until you are satisfied!!" sounding delighted as William said so, Jester turned his gaze to look at William in annoyance.
"Freak papa" murmured Jester
The three of them left the room full of laughter, the three walking together down the corridor of the house to the room of William and Marrie. Once inside, the three of them saw Marrie staring at the room window with a worried face. Knowing someone entered the room, Marrie turned and looked at William, Jester and Naomi, Marrie's smile they saw the presence of Naomi.
By running fast enough Marrie immediately approached Naomi and hugged her tightly, Marrie also poured out how worried she would be about the condition of Naomi who was held captive by Arthur. Getting a warm hug and a feeling of worry that makes Naomi moved, did not feel any tears Naomi dripped from both eyes and then returned the embrace of Marrie.
