I Borrowed Him

Failures

"All the photos are edits, I don't know Naomi very well personally because I only knew her when she and I were the same - both have the status of a selebgram" daniel said during a press conference in front of several journalists from various media, except the media under the auspices of the Werner Group who arrived late.

"What does edits mean? is that really not you and Naomi?" asked one of the reporters, Daniel laughed a little

"No. no. It's not true" Daniel replied.

"But.." Not yet finished another journalist asked, Daniel's lawyer cut.

"My client was shocked by the news because my client had just returned from a vacation in Italy, this was proof of his departure flight ticket and also the hotel bill - the hotel that my client had" while showing evidence - evidence if Daniel had just returned from abroad

"As my fellow journalists saw, I was very surprised to come home and be treated to news like this. I apologize to Jester Gates and Naomi Scott for my ignorance when this news was rolling wildly, it was embarrassing indeed but it was just an editing photo" Daniel continued his lawyer's explanation.

***

A sunny morning in a cluster of luxury housing, one of the houses with a typical Japanese accent looks Jester, Luke, Harry, Justin, and others, Selena and Sarah stare at a television screen featuring a press conference broadcast of Daniel who denies the news about him and Naomi. Everyone was silent with their thoughts, but Jester smiled slightly after hearing Daniel's words.

Grece himself was busy with his cell phone, he seemed to be talking very intensely with his media team to draw up plans after Daniel made a very surprising press conference. For Grece this is the right opportunity to immediately framing to make Naomi's name back clean from the news - negative news

"I've made a plan to clear Naomi's name!! Aaa~ is happy..I hope Naomi hears this news" Grece chirped after hanging up her phone, Sarah smiled sinisterly at Grece. While Justin was curious and began to worry about the actions that Grece would do.

"It looks like Daniel wants to be a hero to Naomi" Sarah timps cynically, Luke, Harry, Justin, Selena and Grece turn to look at Sarah.

"What does it mean, baby?" luke asked puzzledly, Sarah looked at Luke with her sinister face.

"He said if it was an edit, it meant there would be people he would sacrifice as the perpetrators who would bear all the burden even until the punishment. I'm sure this isn't Jester's plan" Sarah replied

"Hey Jester, this isn't your plan? I think Daniel did it because of your orders" Harry asked in confusion

"I think Sarah's right, this isn't my plan because what she's doing is beyond what I expected" replied Jester, standing up to walk out of the living room

"You're gonna let him take on the role of a hero?" ask Sarah when Jester's feet just stepped up a few times, Sarah's questions like awakening Luke, Harry, and Grece about their concerns about the possibility of Naomi misunderstanding.

"That's right!! hey Jester, you have to tell Naomi right away if.." Harry hasn't finished saying, Jester cut.

"Do you think Naomi is that stupid? I'm sure Naomi knows the actor behind today's press conference" Jester said confidently, then walked back to leave her friends in the living room to the bathroom to do her routine every morning

The discussion of Daniel's actions at that time ended without a definite answer, jester's seemingly ordinary attitude made others furious because his speculation about Daniel's actions was not taken seriously by Jester who instead chose to leave them all at that important moment.

Selena walks out of the room to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, while Luke and Sarah head out to the pool area and do some stretches and a little exercise, Grece is busy with her cell phone, Harry and Justin lay their bodies down on the tatami in the living room.

Twenty minutes passed and Selena's breakfast was over, with Selena calling Jester, Sarah, Grece, Luke, Harry and Justin to come together for breakfast. There was a bit of a fuss in the dining room as Luke seemed to be starving and was taking a large portion of breakfast regardless of whether it was enough for all or not, The upset jester was without hesitation to take the food on Luke's plate. The sound of laughter rang out of the house, all looking happy with their togetherness.

On the other hand, in one room of a luxury apartment in the middle of the city, Camilla was staring at a television screen that showed Daniel conducting a press conference. His face looked surprised as if he could not believe what he saw and heard that morning while preparing a cup of coffee for himself, but his surprised expression suddenly changed with a sincere smile that was visible from his lip line.

In a different place far enough away, the Scott family home saw Naomi holding and staring at Naoko's mobile phone featuring footage of Daniel's press conference. Her other hand is seen holding a plate filled with food and in front of her Naomi sees Naoko sitting leaning on the mattress cot staring at her sharply, Naomi's surprised face attracts Naoko's attention.

"What's really going on?" naoko asked with a voice that sounded very hoarse, Naomi gasped at Naoko's question.

"Aahs.. Eeh. this..." Naomi stammered and was silent for a while while putting Naoko's phone on a table nearby, her hand grabbed a spoon on the plate and was about to feed Naoko.

"Honestly, what's really going on?" naoko asked again to press Naomi, the slow hoarse voice made Naomi difficult to breathe because her chest was so tight.

"I. I don't know what Daniel said this morning.it doesn't make any sense.." Naomi replied stammered, Naoko let out a sigh and stared at the open window.

"Have you ever done that with that guy?" naoko asked, a question that increasingly hit Naomi's heart when she heard it. Naomi's hand was seen shaking until it made a crackling sound on the spoon and plate that Naomi was holding, but Naomi was silent until Naoko's heavy breathing was heard in Naomi's ear.

"Mom doesn't know what to say to you at a time like this, I feel very strict to take care of you but this incident makes me feel like mom is the worst mother and wife in the world" naoko said in a tone that sounded so sad, Naomi shed her tears so hard and slowly her head lowered.

Naoko's words make Naomi's heart as if slashed by a razor so sharp and leave a scar of pain so extraordinary, pain, too many mistakes Naomi made and finally made Naomi realize that she should just follow her mother's wishes so that all the bad things that happened because of her actions never happened.

"Mother please don't say it like that. It's all my fault.." shuddering Naomi said it.

"Evans asked me to educate you to be like me. But I failed to fulfill the request of the husband I loved so much, you became a wild child unattainable by my hands... failure as a mother must also be borne by me simultaneously" Naoko chirped sounding bitter

"I'm sorry, mother.." - Naomi was so sorry, Naoko slowly looked at the bowed Naomi.

"As a failed mother and wife, I have nothing left to teach you, now you are free to choose how you live in the future" Naoko said, hearing Naoko's words made Naomi surprised and immediately looked at her mother's face.

"Please.. don't say it. Wait a few more moments.. allow me to make you proud mother.." Naomi said it and was full of fear.

"Mother is tired Naomi... very tired, even these tears are no longer able to come out when I remember my memories with Evans but my heart feels tight to lose... I can't stand it anymore." Naoko said stammered, Naomi shook her head several times and then sat down next to Naoko.

"Please give me some time. I still can't decide..it's very hard for me ma'am.." pinta Naomi.

Naoko just fell silent and lay her body on the mattress and turned her back on Naomi, seeing Naoko's response made Naomi self-conscious. Immediately Naomi stood up from her crush and brought back out the plates on her tattooed trolley from Naoko's room, with unstoppable tears, Naomi walked in the hallway of the Scott family home until she reached the kitchen.

Naomi washes all the cutlery and arranges it on the shelves - shelves are already available, do not forget Naomi cleaning the kitchen cabinet from various scraps - the rest of the cooking process. As soon as she finished, Naomi came out of the kitchen and walked down the hallway to the courtyard of the house. In the front garden of the courtyard of the house was Naomi watering the plants, caring for the flowers, and not forgetting to sweep the garden from the dry foliage.

Scott's family home now looks deserted from all the activities of the workers who usually work there, now only Naomi herself who takes care of the house because all workers have been dismissed by Naoko. For Naomi this is one way to get through the gloomy day full of sadness after her father died, but Naomi's tears can not lie if her heart is not good - it's fine.

In a warehouse where garden tools are placed, in one corner of the table there is a bottle containing poison grass. Naomi looked at the bottle with blank eyes, slowly stepping her feet closer to the bottle it was placed on. His white hand slowly picked up the bottle, his face showing doubt but his hand kept trying to reach the poison bottle.

One by one the bad events that happened to him began to haunt Naomi's mind, the shadow of her father leaving Naomi for good and the fatal mistake she made that made her have to lose Evans and see the destruction of her mother makes Naomi worse with regret.

With Naomi firmly grasping the bottle filled with grass poison liquid and staring at him for so long, her tears suddenly dripped even though her facial expression looked flat.

"Me too.." Naomi muttered bitterly.
