I Borrowed Him

Naoko's Past (1)

Brightly lit, a jet plane was seen passing by. The bright sky at that time seemed to mean nothing - what for Naomi, it was like being in a cloudy atmosphere that gray Naomi was sitting in the plane with her eyes moist and a look of a very sad face.

He took a cellphone and then with a little effort Naomi issued a sim card in it, huh....Naomi is determined to break her sim card and chooses not to activate her number again. Naoko who was next to Naomi at that time was amazed by what Naomi had just done. Naoko's heavy breathing caught Naomi's attention, the child and mother looked at each other but remained silent for a while.

"Why?" naoko asked briefly, but Naomi understood very well what Naoko was trying to ask her.'

"this is. so that Jester can't reach me." Naomi replied sounding sad.

"You hate her?" ask Naoko again

"No. I love her so much." replied Naomi then looked back at her cell phone that had died with the sim card was broken.

Naoko understands it is not an easy choice for Naomi to leave Jester, but Naoko is very appreciative of the decision Naomi took. The two now engage in a close-knit conversation after Evans' death, which makes Naoko and Naomi's relationship worse.

"Why did you do that?" asked Naoko again, this time her voice sounded a little pressing.

"In order for Jester to assume I am gone for good.I want him to open his heart and not just focus on waiting for me to come home, I want him to try hard to find my replacement.... I will only be an obstacle if it can still be contacted easily" replied Naomi, at once Naoko was heard sighing again and they were silent for a moment.

The roar of the jet engine was heard inside the plane cabin, the silence was long until suddenly Naoko asked for a drinking bottle located not far from Naomi's position with the gesture of his hand. Naomi took the bottle of mineral water and gave it to Naoko, after receiving it and drinking it Naoko looked at Naomi sharply.

"Maybe it's time you found out about your arranged marriage to Jester that was planned even while you were still in my womb" Naoko said firmly, according to the press release, Naomi is surprised to hear that but she chooses to remain silent and shows the gesture of wanting to hear what Naoko just said.

"It all started when Marrie and I were teenagers, in high school at the time.he and I hated each other, all because of our fierce competition to be the best women, the school flower, and the, smartest at school, and being a woman loved by male students with honor" Naoko began to tell her past, for a moment Naoko fell silent as if trying to roll back those memories.

"It was a surprise when the man I loved so much had a best friend who married my arch-enemy back in High School, a paddle in greeting.... Marrie feels the same way as me. We still hate each other even when in front of Evans and William, we do not seem to know each other and do not have any problems" Naoko continued to tell her past.

Naomi showed an attitude as if ready to listen to Naoko's story, her curiosity was so strong about the matchmaking of herself and Jester by Naomi's parents.

"It will be a long story.I want you to understand this and set your own pace in the future." Naoko said, at that time Naomi just nodded her head.

***FOR SOME FUTURE EPISODES, THE STORYLINE USES A FIRST-PERSON PERSPECTIVE AS NAOKO***

"Oweeekis.... Oweeeek.." the sound of a baby crying is heard in my ear...

I fell silent and kept looking at the face of my nemesis all this time.... Marrie gave birth to her first child, a baby boy who looks very healthy and handsome. The baby was named Jester Gates. My feelings were mixed at that time, I was happy with the birth of Marrie's first child but on the other hand I was upset because Marrie first got a baby.

"Congratulations William!! a healthy baby boy like you!!" this happy-sounding man next to me over the birth of Marrie's son, he was Evans who was my husband then and we just got married three months ago.

"Yahaha!! I'm happy too!! thanks for the recommendation, my wife and son are getting more attention from the staff doctors because of you!" william excitedly said it

"Come on Will, this hospital stands up because of you.how could I.." Evans hadn't finished saying it, I saw William shut Evans' mouth.

A friendship so strong I can see between Evans and William who was the husband of my arch-enemy since High School. Putting a happy face in front of Evans' best friend was the only thing I could do to appreciate my husband's friendship at the time.

"Pcsst!! don't be hard - hard!! we don't know if those monsters are around us or not!" sounding William yell at it, I slowly approached Marrie who was still lying down while crying happily.

"Good miss Gates for the birth of your son, we Scott's family are so happy" I said, then I saw a smile as if mocking me from Marrie's lip line.

"Hohohoho...thank you, because this is our FIRST child.I accept your sincere greeting with pleasure" said Marrie with emphasis on the first word, I was so upset to hear it but with all my might I held back my frustration.

"Same - same" I said while squeezing Marrie's hand embedded with the infusion needle that was still attached

Well, stupid action indeed. but come on, I was annoyed at him at that time. The moaning of Marrie caught the attention of Evans and William, I knew Marrie wanted revenge but because of his condition he could only laugh at me.

"Hey my son is a boy, you try to get girls and we'll get them!" william said, and of course it surprised me and Marrie, and we looked into William's eyes in surprise.

Not a good idea and I can take it for granted, of course in the depths of my heart strongly reject William's wishes. But looking different from my husband Evans, he seemed very enthusiastic about William's words.

Why did I say we were? because I understood very well that even Marrie was not willing to be with me, when William and Evans looked at us simultaneously. I don't know why Marrie and I were stuck in our own charade, but Evans' sparkling eyes made me powerless to resist.

"Naoko, we're gonna try to get a daughter" Evans told me

"I.iya Evans san.." I answered stammeringly.

The laughter of William and Evans seemed to be the closing of our meeting that day, not long after Evans and I said goodbye to go home. On the way back then, Evans was not bored - he was tired of talking about our son's marriage in the future even though I was happy to imagine it.

Three weeks after Jester was born. I tested positive for pregnancy, I really hope that the child I conceived was a man. I just kept doing whatever I could to strengthen the percentage of children in my womb who were going to be the boys behind Evans, I really felt guilty about him.... but I really don't want to make a deal with Marrie.

Destiny says something else...

When I was six months old, I did an ultrasound and it was stated that my son was a woman. My heart was broken hearing the doctor say to me, but Evans was the opposite...

How happy is he? let me tell you the picture....

At Scott's hospital after I got out of the examination room.... Evans came to everyone there as if he was announcing that he would soon be a father.

"I'm perfect being a father!! ye know? that angel over there is my wife and in her stomach is my daughter who is a woman!!" evans said to everyone he met that day

I am ashamed of his behavior... Evans who I know as a calm and authoritative person, that day became a person full of emotional evaporation. But....

But... I cried happily.. All my struggles got his heart..my sacrifice finally avenged....

"Yoko!! thanks!!!" evans said at the time and then he kissed my lips so warm and friendly

My disappointment faded and evaporated away, I was happy for her....

Nine months less, I gave birth to a healthy and beautiful daughter in Scott's hospital. I saw Evans kneeling next to the crib that was already available in the room, I heard him so happy that he cried sobbing - sobs there. Sometimes he saw the baby girl, then looked down and cried again...

Funny.I wanted to laugh at that time.I saw the attitude of the person I always said if I knew him well, but I was so surprised by the attitude he showed today...

"Yvans!!! is it true that the child that came out of Naoko's stomach is a woman!!!" the silence of the room suddenly collapsed with the arrival of William, he opened the door as if an FBI who would catch the criminal of his target.

William's behavior doesn't surprise me, it's William's attitude toward my husband Evans. No wonder the matchmaking plan could happen.

"Ooooweeeeekk!!!" the cry of my daughter was so heard in shock at William's presence, that Marrie soon appeared and hit William's head very hard which shocked me.

"Calm this you!!" marrie snapped after hitting William's head very hard, then Marrie ran into the room approaching my baby girl's bed.

I could see her eyes sparkling at my son's face, not long before William ran up to Evans and similarly saw my baby girl in silence. My daughters cry as if they are indifferent, I am a little annoyed that they are just watching my son cry loudly.

"Evans san. can't I.." I'm not done yet, I want to ask Evans to calm my son down, and William arrives to snatch Jester from Marrie's sling and place him next to my baby girl.

I saw it myself if my daughter's cries suddenly stopped when Jester slept next to her.

"What's his name, Naoko?" asked William, I pensively

"Evans san... What's the boy's name?" I asked Evans

Since I wish my baby was a baby boy, I did not prepare the name of the baby girl I prepared even some baby boy names even when I knew that the baby in my womb at that time was a girl I still hope there is a miracle that when my baby was a baby boy, which is why I didn't prepare his name and I left it to Evans.

"The girl who came from the womb of an angel in my life.I hope she will become a tough woman like you, full of love like you, kind like you and grow beautiful like you.... Naomi's... Naomi Scott." said Evans, looking me deeply in the eye with a smile full of happiness.
