I Borrowed Him

Soft Touch

The night changed in the morning, in a luxurious house located in the middle of the hills looks crowded with journalists and reporters gathered in front of the gate of the house. Security guards kept watch behind closed fences to keep reporters and reporters out of the fence, with the news of Naomi and Daniel getting hot. The news that was spread out was unlikely to cause a commotion, though, this opportunity was taken by some journalists to dig up more information in any way including visiting Arthur's residence where Jester as the new leader of the Gates company must have lived there.

Jester who opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep immediately began to talk about two choices that had been proposed by Julius and Arthur. The conversation ended just like that because Jester left Arthur's room without answering anything, a very difficult choice for Jester was waiting in plain sight. Not long after the sound of knocking on Jester's door was heard, Jester slowly moved from his bed to open the door and found Sarah knocking on Jester's room door.

"Jester's Morning" said Sarah

"What's wrong?" ask Jester briefly

"Even good morning you do not answer, it seems that the contents of your head will really explode" Sarah said

"It's not the time to joke" angrily as Jester said, Sarah smiled at Jester's words.

"I brought some news for you, are you interested?" ask Sarah

"What's that?" ask back to Jester who looks curious

"Can I come in?" pinta Sarah while entering Jester's room, although upset Jester just fell silent and closed the door. Sarah sits on a sofa in Jester's room, while Jester sits at the end of the bed waiting for Sarah to speak with her head bowed.

"First, Mr. Scott is already out of the special care room.." unfinished Sarah spoke, Jester cut in and looked pleased.

"really?! then how's the condition? did you realize?" jester enthusiastically asked, but Sarah shook her head several times.

"Sir Scott was unconscious but stable" Sarah replied in a sad tone, Jester lowered his head again.

"Secondly, me, Luke, Harry, Selena, Grece and Justin couldn't find Daniel. I had to use Gates' intelligence network and then we all realized that... Daniel has prepared everything, he has been in Italy for a month now" Sarah said, hearing Sarah's words upset Jester until her hands squeezed the blanket so tightly.

"Third, outside full of journalists and shares Gates Family Group has fallen at the lowest point for a decade. You have to do something as soon as possible, have you consulted grandfather?" ask Sarah to Jester

Hearing Sarah's explanation about the impact of all that happened due to the news about Naomi and Daniel that was so bad made Jester began to be pessimistic about his status as the leader of the Gates Family Group.

"Grandfather gave me two choices, made the mistake that Sir Julius and grandfather had done or. severed my relationship with the Scott family." replied Jester, for a moment both of them fell silent.

"Then...?" sarah asked to break the silence that had occurred

"I'm thinking of stepping down from the president's chair and appointing you in my place" replied Jester firmly, Jester's reply surprised Sarah.

"I can't afford to be separated from Naomi, she's the only reason I can enjoy life, so I prefer to let go of my position" said Jester continued his words, Sarah pulled out her cellphone and seemed to find something in the phone.

Not long after Sarah gave her cellphone to Jester, with heavy Jester received the phone and displayed an economic news with the title

***Sarah Arielle is the outcast Gates family, one of the least likely successors to succeed Arthur Gates***

"Your ideas will only make the company more ruined.." not yet finished Sarah said, Jester cut.

"Then what should I do?!!!" snapped Jester to Sarah, the two fell silent and stared at each other.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you. I didn't mean it that way.." full of regret Jester said while returning Sarah's phone.

In addition to friends, Sarah is the only cousin of Jester who always supports and several times gives brilliant ideas to Jester. The age of those who are not far away makes it easier for both of them to exchange ideas about whatever problems they face.

Hours later, a helicopter flew from Gates' residence to Scott Hospital. When the helicopter landed on a helipad located in Scott's hospital, Jester got off the helicopter and immediately entered the hospital to go to the vvip room where Evans was being treated.

Not long until Jester in front of Evans' room, jester slowly opened the door of the room and there Jester saw Evans lying unconscious wearing various medical devices attached almost all over Evans' body. Jester's attention turned to look at Naomi who was sitting on a chair next to Evans, aware of Jester's presence when Naomi looked at Jester and smiled.

"Welcome to Jess.." Naomi said to Jester, for a moment Jester was surprised to see Naomi smiling and greeting her well.

"Eeh...yeah, how's dad?" jester asked as he walked in and closed the door, Jester continued to walk beside Naomi as if strengthening his heart to answer Jester's question.

"Some time was here this morning, not long after the doctor came and we were both called to the doctor's room. There we explained about the state of the father.." Naomi replied but Naomi hung up her sentence for a while, her tears arrived - suddenly dripping down. Naomi's hand held Evans' hand very tightly, then placed her head in the hand that held it.

"The condition of the father this time is very bad.The doctor said the condition of the patient like the father of the healing process is no longer possible and said if the father will not be helped this time... maybe the problem this time is too much for dad.all because of me and always because of me... why do I have to live just to make you suffer.." Naomi said with a bit of a mouthful, her voice was so sad that she sounded so sorry about everything that was going on.

Jester's body trembled violently, now in his head as he spoke together in a lakeside town, when Evans came to escort Naomi to the small house, jester and Evans spoke together in the same room this time. The memorable and memorable meeting for Jester now seemed to end before his eyes, the promise of keeping Naomi felt increasingly heavy to be carried by Jester.

"Jess... I heard what you had to do in the future to save the company.." still in a voice that sounded as much as Naomi said it, Jester gasped at Naomi's words.

"What do you mean?" jester asked with some implied fear

"You should be able to let go of me Jess, I.." Naomi's answer was cut by Jester.

"No!! I will never leave you under any circumstances!!" somewhat with a snatch of Jester saying it, Naomi raised her head and looked at Jester with a smile.

"I'm fine, it's a risk I have to accept from all my selfishness and you don't have to bear it with me" Naomi said

Subjected Naomi said word for word that she took out of her lips to Jester, her eyes did not dare to stare at Jester's face. The tears that he tried to weave were unstoppable to penetrate his defenses, flowing so swiftly. His voice grew heavier as he was restrained by the pain of his heart, his fingers squeezing each other until it slightly injured his hand which also trembled due to the small friction between his skin and his nails. Conditions slumped and shattered so felt, making the Jester who saw it also feel destroyed.

Hearing Naomi's words at that time made Jester run out of words, while Jester felt it would be useless to talk to Naomi in this condition, one small gesture Jester made to hold Naomi's hand so as not to squeeze her fingers again. Then Jester turned and walked out of the room, choosing to sit in the chair outside the room while calming his mind. All choices are getting heavier to choose, on the other hand Jester must immediately make his choice so that all conditions become more stable again.

In the room was left Naomi who then clasped Evans' hand, look Naomi's eyes continue to look at Evans's face that already looks pale. Once again Naomi's tears poured down her cheeks, her breathing that began to be as unwilling as to add to the sound of Naomi's crying at that time. The sound of medical equipment connected to the many wires in Evans made Naomi's fear so strong, wanted to hug her father but Naomi was afraid it would endanger her father even more.

"I'm sorry, I. I don't know what to do. I don't know at all which options are right and which are wrong." Naomi said, his voice sounded so shaky.

"I have to what.. everything just happened because of my mistake. I think I have finished it. but..." the sentence just stopped, Naomi really can not continue the sentence. Her breathing was so hard to regulate and her chest felt so claustrophobic.

"The world does not want me to make peace with all that, his head began to fall down, allowing his tears to fill the floor.

Gentle hand touch suddenly felt on Naomi's cheeks that had been wet because of her tears, Naomi's heartbeat began to erratic. Raged all thoughts in his head until he ventured to lift his head that had been able to bow full of regret.

How shocked Naomi was by the fact that she saw, her father's hand was right on her cheek. The gentle touch of affection made Naomi happy but also strengthened her guilt. Her eyes did not blink until Naomi finally heard a voice that shocked her.

"Naomi.." in a hoarse voice Evans uttered it.
