I Borrowed Him

Warm Hugs

At night in an office building that looks gradually quiet from the activities of its employees, two women are looking at each other in front of the entrance of the building. With a face that looks angry and hateful, Sarah looked at Camilla after previously pulling Camilla's arm very roughly, while Camilla who was surprised by Sarah's treatment at that time could only be silent.

"What are you doing here? you also want to ruin my life?!!" ask Sarah with a glance

"Whatchu mean? I don't understand" Camilla replied in a tone that sounded astonished and confused, but was implied with fear as Camilla said it.

Camilla actually already knew the figure of Sarah is a descendant of Gates' blood and is a cousin of Jester, but Camilla did not expect if it could meet Sarah in such circumstances at that time. The look of hatred and anger that Sarah showed really shrank Camilla's guts, he was even willing to endure pain because of the pull of Sarah's hand on his arm which still left some bruises covered by clothes because of his father's actions.

"Don't act stupid!! I know who you are and what you did to Jester and Naomi!!" sarah snapped and pushed Camilla until Camilla fell.

The commotion in the Arielle Corp office lobby between two women who looked the same age attracted the attention of several guards who were in charge of guarding the night there, they swiftly broke through the commotion which turned out to involve Sarah as their superior. One of the guards tried to hold Sarah back the action slowly while the other two helped Camilla to stand up.

"Miss Sarah, what's wrong?" ask the building guard to Sarah while helping Camilla to stand up

"Excuse him!! I fired you today!!" snapped Sarah

"Ta.. But.." unfinished the building keeper said, Camilla cut with the gesture of her hand.

"It's okay, I get it. I'm sorry" Camilla said, but Sarah didn't want to let Camilla go in peace. Sarah firmly pushed Camilla's back until Camilla fell on the floor, again - again the building guards swiftly helped Camilla stand up.

"Go there!! I won't show you any mercy!!" snapping Sarah sounded so angry, Camilla stood back up aided by the building guards who looked confused what to do.

"I'm sorry." said Camilla in a sad tone, hearing Camilla's voice that seemed to ask for mercy that pecked Sarah's emotions.

No longer seem the look of calm and cunning and domineering face that usually Camilla always presents whenever having to deal with the unpleasant things that happen to her, he said, for the first time Camilla seemed so shabby and resigned to the treatment of strangers against her. It was as if the smart and cunning Camilla had lost her identity.

"Can you still be merciful?!! do you know what you have produced from your actions?!!" ask Sarah

"I know. and I'm so sorry about it." replied Camilla.

"You are!! come here let me teach you a lesson!!" snapped Sarah as she walked quickly to Camilla

Sarah pulls Camilla's arm and is about to slap her, although the building guards try to block Sarah but it does not discourage Sarah from slapping Camilla. While Camilla was silent as if she was preparing to receive a slap from Sarah, Camilla's tears seemed to drip out of those closed eyes.

"DARK!!!" jessica's screams suddenly appeared from behind the glass door of the office, with a little running Jessica approached Camilla and pulled her and clenched Camilla's head to provide protection.

A very painful sight for Sarah had to be seen as Jessica hugged and gave shelter to Camilla with a look of pity, stunned Sarah as if she could not believe what she saw.

"Mama?" it sounded confused Sarah saw what Jessica was doing in front of her eyes

"What the fuck is this?!" jessica asked in anger, for a while Sarah just stared at her mother's face.

"What problem are you having? don't lighten hands like that! you never remember teaching your children with violence!!" jessica snapped again when Sarah was silent to see her mother protecting Camilla instead

"Ma.. ma.... What did you do?! hers... He's the one who ruined Naomi's life!! why protect people like that?!!" snapped Sarah though implied if there was a surprise from Sarah to see her mother protecting Camilla, hearing Sarah's words when Jessica slowly looked at Camilla's face crying sob - sobs in her arms.

"Enough, you don't want to hear anything anymore" Jessica said, then pulled Camilla to leave the place, saw her mother who really tried to protect Camilla also made Sarah more emotional.

"Mama!! why did you protect her?!! mama.." not done yet Sarah spoke, Jessica cut.

"Enough!!" jessica snapped and snapped it made Sarah flinch.

Jessica's impact made Sarah feel inexhaustible about what her mother did, moreover, he had conveyed his reasons for being rude to Camilla, but as hard as he was, Jessica still gave her protection to Camilla and it made Sarah very disappointed.

"Mama said enough but you forced me to be firm, go home and we'll talk about this at home" Jessica said

"No!! I hate you mama!!!" sarah said it and ran out of the building

Jessica sighed for a moment and let Sarah go from the place, her hand that was still holding Camilla's head slowly Jessica let go. Now both of Jessica's hands squeeze Camilla's shoulders and make sure that Camilla is in good shape - fine, there Jessica saw if the marks of Camilla's father's punch are still visible if carefully considered.

"You okay?" jessica asked in a soft voice, Camilla only nodded her head a few times

"Thank God, hey you, get in my room and get me a red map on the table" Jessica told the building's guards.

"Ready!" the building's guards quickly ran to the elevator to pick up the things Jessica asked for, while Jessica led Camilla to a chair and sat her there facing each other.

"Well, I told you before that I wouldn't force you to talk, but what Sarah says now is very disturbing to my mind. So I hope you can explain it to me" Jessica said slightly pressing, Camilla just fell silent and lowered her gaze.

"Is it true.. You're the actor behind Naomi's name?" jessica asked back to press, Camilla nodded her head a few times.

"OK... why?" ask Jessica curiously

"Revenge." Camilla replied briefly, hearing the answer made Jessica a little surprised.

Camilla's voice sounded trembling and full of regret for Jessica, her face that was still down made Jessica unable to fully read Camilla's attitude. But the revenge sentence that Camilla spoke aroused curiosity for Jessica.

"Naomi your target? I think it's all about.." Unfinished Jessica spoke, Camilla cut in.

"Everyone is the same." - Camilla said, Camilla's words made Jessica even more surprised.

"Huh? what's that supposed?" ask Jessica

"I consider everyone the same. I do not believe in kindness for no reason. There is always a reason behind the good attitude of people to me. friends...." answer Camilla

Camilla grew more and more leewayed in her explanation, and Jessica patiently listened word by word to Camilla. Camilla's tone that did not rise and increasingly showed her regrets also attracted Jessica's attention.

Jessica felt that there was something very heavy and so torturous that made Camilla recklessly launch her action to Naomi. Moreover, as is already known in general, the news spread is able to turn off Naomi's career and future.

"That's right, I think so too" Jessica said, agreeing with Camilla's words. Seemed unconcerned by Jessica's words as Camilla slowly continued her story.

"My father ruined his own life, Jester's grandfather punished him just as much but it affected me, I sold my parents to people who had a lot of money, Daniel my lover left me for Naomi, he said, father ordered me to date Jester so that he could control Jester's treasure and Jester arrived - suddenly dating Naomi... and I looked at these people the same way." Camilla said in a trembling voice, Jessica just fell silent to Camilla's sad voice.

"But in the midst of my despair with this life.... Jester came with all his kindness, I don't understand why he's like that to me. And this time.. madam helped me. I. I don't understand anymore about this life...." as Camilla continued her earlier words, Jessica took a deep breath - deep and then exhaled slowly.

"I understand you're afraid to look at people differently, whether it's what kind of people you've met up to this point but your thinking isn't entirely wrong." Jessica softly uttered it, slowly Camilla turned her gaze and was glued to look at Jessica's smiling face.

"I was once in your position, looking at everyone with their bad image. But there will always be people who genuinely come to help you and people like that really exist in this broken world... I don't know how many times you'll never understand why this person would bother to help us." said Jessica still with a smile that increasingly glared at Camilla.

"You're just afraid to admit that people like this do exist, that's what holds you back from being in the dark. You have to be brave to admit that and move forward, otherwise nothing will change about your view of all those people" Jessica's wise words made Camilla lower her gaze

"What.... does a person like me still deserve kindness?" tanya Camilla. Tears flowed from her two eyes.

"All men have the same opportunity to change and correct all the mistakes they have made.First, forgive yourself first for peace. Her peace of heart will lead you to look at the world in a different angle, fight Camilla.." replied Jessica, along with the end of Jessica's sentence when Camilla's tears again dripped down the floor.

Jessica stood up and approached Camilla to hug her, the atmosphere felt so thick that night in the office building where Arielle Corp operated.
