I Borrowed Him

The Jester I Know

A room with girly shades with pink walls, there is a white dresser on top neatly arranged with makeup equipment, accessories and some perfume. Besides there is a large mattress with a magenta-colored bed cover with pillows - doll-shaped pillows that look so funny, a room that is thick with the feel of a spoiled girl.

Jester looks around the room which is Naomi's room, the room that depicts Naomi's character as Naoko wishes. A moment of silence Jester pegged in front of the door, while Naomi walked to the mattress and sat in her corner while bowing her head staring at the floor. Not long before Jester stepped foot to get close to Naomi, as soon as Jester approached Naomi suddenly sighed until heard by Jester.

"Jess... are you healthy? what are you eating as long as there is no me? I heard you're now living in our house avoiding reporters, are you lonely there?" naomi asked in a sad tone, Jester only remained silent for a while until Naomi turned her gaze to look Jester in the eye.

Naomi's question at that time made Jester feel sad, how could Naomi still pay attention to the state of Jester while she herself felt the worst impact of the events they faced. At that time Jester felt that Naomi was a figure who loved him so much. The attention that Naomi showed to Jester made her feel like she had to face everything calmly and could pay more attention to the circumstances of others around her.

"Your life must have been hard.we just went through a problem with the Gates family, this time you have to bear the burden of my actions. I'm sorry." with a smile Naomi said.

"You don't have to think about that" Jester said, Naomi again sighed.

Jester felt most guilty for everything that happened at that time, Jester felt he was negligent and careless to protect Naomi from various sides. Jester felt a failure and gave little warning to Daniel so that Daniel could easily carry out his actions. In front of Naomi who still looks slumped that emanated from her face, Jester's heart did not stop blaming herself for everything that happened.

"You've always been like that. You can always forgive everyone who has hurt you, me, Luna, Selena, and I don't know how many people who have also felt the warmth of your heart... But that's how you are as far as I'm concerned." said Naomi still with her smile, Jester felt there was something Naomi wanted to convey implicitly.

Jester frowned and looked at Naomi suspiciously, getting such a look made Naomi turn her eyes away.

"So I met up with our friends, talking about the person behind all these disasters.they all made me angry because they seemed to protect people.." Not done Jester said, Naomi cutting.

"I know everything you're doing. I keep an eye on you even if I'm not next to you Jess.." Naomi said.

"What...you mean?" ask Jester who was surprised by Naomi's words.

"Julius has explained everything to me about what steps you need to take in order to maintain the company, I understand very clearly every detail" replied Naomi who looked back at Jester with a smile

Naomi's statement again makes Jester feel like she failed to protect Naomi, Jester feels what Julius said will break Naomi's heart because of Naomi's great love for her. Jester also feels Naomi shouldn't have known about this, just now she was experiencing mental stress because her disgrace was revealed in the public then lost her father and this time must be coupled with Julius' statement that definitely made Naomi's heart sad.

"You know I don't.." Jester said, Naomi cut back.

"I know you definitely won't choose to look for my replacement, instead you ask papa and Sarah to list all your business rivals. Do you want to repeat the same mistake Jess?" asked Naomi now with pressure, look Naomi's eyes look sharp looking at Jester's eyes.

For a moment the two fell silent but their eyes kept staring at each other, a situation Jester never imagined would happen.

"Friends - our friends already know who is the brain behind Daniel's actions, but not with the evidence. I ask them to withhold the information from falling into your hands, forgive those who behave in this manner at my request" Naomi said, breaking the silence between the two, Jester was again surprised by Naomi's statement.

Beyond the alleged Jester, it turns out that the attitude of his best friend is on the basis of Naomi's request. Jester's state of stress does make it difficult to be sensitive and feel something different from his surroundings. Jester who was surprised by the reality he heard from Naomi finally conveyed a curiosity that immediately disturbed his mind.

"Every action there is always a reason, if we only look from one side then.all will be a mess as it happened to me, to grandfather and Julius. Jess, you still have the choice to remain you and not fall into a bottomless abyss like me, grandfather and Julius" Naomi replied, but Naomi's reply ignited Jester's emotions.

"That's no excuse!!! I want to uphold justice!!!" snapping Jester at Naomi, Naomi slowly looked at Jester again and smiled.

"What is justice? do you have the right to enforce it and apply it to everyone? what difference do you have with the man who was the brains behind Daniel's actions?" naomi's question left Jester speechless, both silent and staring at each other.

"Then..what do you want me to do?" jester asked sounded resigned

"I want you not to get carried away by the desire for revenge, because it will determine the difference between you and that person" Naomi replied in a soft-sounding voice

For a moment Jester had begun to lose his patience, as if his friends even this time his own lover did not give support to him. Jester finally decided to leave Naomi and walk home, but was just about to get out of the room suddenly Naomi stood up and ran to hug Jester from behind so tightly.

"I don't want you to be like grandfather, stop your revenge plan and think like the Jester I know!! I beg of you Jess, this is my last wish!!!" with a little scream Naomi said it, Jester's clothes felt wet because of Naomi's tears that continued to flow and attached to the back of Jester's clothes.

"I'll try, I'll try to continue being the Jester you know" Jester told Naomi, slowly stretching Naomi's hand and letting Jester walk away from Scott's family home.

Jester walks down the hallway of the Scott family home and once again Jester hears Naoko's cry as she passes through her room, for a moment Jester stops her step. Not long after Jester returned to his feet until he returned to the room that was a silent witness when Jester and Naomi were tried by Naoko, it did not feel that it was past almost a year that the incident had passed.

Jester arrived in the courtyard of the house where the Mercedes Benz S450 with the driver who was preparing to open the door for Jester, for a moment Jester was silent again staring at the atmosphere of the court of the Scott family home. The picture of Naomi who asked Jester to accompany her to get to know the campus, the way Naomi asked and the voice - the voice of Naomi when it was clearly drawn, did not feel Jester's tears dripping. A memory that made Jester sad because for some time he could not hear Naomi's spoiled voice.

Immediately Jester wiped his tears and walked closer to the car, with the driver closing the door and running into the driver's seat and running the car back to Jester and Naomi's house. Forty minutes passed until Jester arrived at the house, after his Mercedes Benz S450 parked perfectly with Jester immediately out of the car before the driver opened the door for Jester.

"Go home and thank you" Jester told the driver

"Master doesn't need a trip anymore?" ask the driver to confirm Jester's orders, with Jester's head bobbing in response to the driver's question. The driver immediately lowered his head and walked out of the house in his car parked in front of Jester and Naomi's house, after making sure the driver had gone far away, Jester got back in the car and drove it somewhere.

For two hours and thirty minutes Jester continued to take the Mercedes Benz S450 car to the suburbs, with tears flowing in his eyes accompanying the Jester trip during that time. As soon as the destination was dark, Jester parked his car on the side of the road and immediately got out of the car.

A beach far from the city and looks lonely to be the destination of Jester, with slow steps and heavy Jester walk near the beach until his feet touch the sea water. The darkness of the sea accompanied by the luminescence of light - a light that appears small from a distance, the, the sound of waves that are calm and occasionally bring broken rock to the edge of the beach and the breeze - sepoi feels so soothing for Jester. He stared at the dark coastline with eyes still shedding tears, with a single breath of Jester shouting loudly. Such a roar sounded bitter, describing the weight of the heart he was carrying right now.

Not just once, Jester repeatedly continued to shout to relieve his burning anger. The loud voice began to fade as his repeated screams, shrunk and almost disappeared. But Jester seemed to force himself to continue shouting as much as possible that he was able to do. A deep breath and then a slow breath, "Aaaaa.." His lips spoke like that but his voice was no longer heard. That night Jester completely wasted all his remaining energy by shouting, a ritual that Jester used to do when his heart was in a state of turmoil. A ritual known only to William, Naomi and Evans.

"Are you satisfied, brother?" there was a woman's voice in the middle of the silence that night right behind Jester.
