I Borrowed Him
Epilogues
A year and six months passed, a happy day Jester now experienced. In the morning at the famous private university in the middle of the city, it was seen that the university was holding a judicium event. Jester became the only youngest generation to graduate with only seven semesters of study with a GPA of 3.97, making Jester the only one who graduated with a very satisfactory grade.
The wise and orderly judiciary, Jester got together with William, Marrie, Luke, Harry, Sarah, Justin and Grece after Jester was declared officially graduated. With a small talk full of laughter, it was clear that Jester seemed to have forgotten all the sadness about his heartbreak when Naomi left Jester.
Even so, neither Luke, Harry, Justin, Grece, Sarah, William and Marrie have mentioned Naomi by name every time they get together with Jester. All they did was to keep Jester's heart from recollecting with Naomi, but Jester couldn't hide her feelings of sadness well until now.
Occasionally Jester looks daydreaming and contemplating until his friends realize him from daydreaming, immediately Jester was back smiling to welcome the joy of his friends including his parents.
"Where's Selena?" asked Jester who realized that since Selena had not gathered with them, hearing Jester's question when his friends just fell silent and stared at each other.
"She didn't reply to our message, lastly Selena said that she would definitely come to your judiciary" Grece replied
"Ooh, let me call. Soon after the photo session together, I don't want any of you not to come" said Jester then pulled the phone out of his pants pocket located in the toga that Jester was wearing, a moment rang and Selena picked it up.
***
"Hey Selena, where are you?" ask Jester
"I'm in the college cup room." replied Selena.
"Well? wait for the photo session, I want you in the photo" with annoyed Jester said it
"Sir.. Come here for a moment, there's something I want to say" Selena asked.
"More important than this photo session?" jester asked, Selena laughed.
"Yes I think I'm waiting for you here" Selena replied and hung up.
***
Jester who was upset by Selena's request could only sigh while putting his cell phone back in his pants pocket, seeing Jester already knew where Selena was making friends now curious where Selena was.
"where is that woman?" Sarah asked, Sarah's revenge on Selena was still so pronounced.
"Come, that was a year ago" Jester said without answering Sarah's question, a cynical smile Sarah noticed after hearing Jester's words
"I may forgive him, but I will not forget what he has done to you" Sarah concluded, Jester sighed and left Sarah and her other friends to the college cup room.
In a room that contained several glass cabinets with various trophies lined up in the closet, Selena fell silent and stared at one trophy written her name and Jester's name. Not long after, Jester arrived in the room and Selena immediately looked into Jester's eyes.
"Thank you for coming" Selena chirped as Jester stood in front of the open door, with Jester's astonished face staring at Selena.
"Well? There friends are gathering" Jester chimps in wonder, Selena looked back at the trophy.
"Sister... For more than a year, Naomi could not be reached, her whereabouts could not be traced by the Gates family network. How you feeling? Is it okay with your heart?" Selena asked so worriedly, Jester fell silent looking at Selena who was still paying attention to one of the trophies
Selena who knows that other Jester friends have never mentioned Naomi's name again when gathering with Jester to keep Jester's feelings in the end ventured to ask about Naomi to Jester, selena understands Jester is still hoping Naomi will return.
"Naomi says she'll be back someday... Is your faith still high?" Selena asked again because Jester was silent
"It's my happy day, I want to forget that promise for a moment..." Answer Jester
"I'm sorry... I just want to know how you feel..." Selena said it while looking back into Jester's eyes
Not wanting to ruin Jester's happiness at her graduation, Selena finally decides to stop discussing Naomi and chooses to change the subject.
"Good... Let's change the subject" Selena chirped and then opened the glass cabinet door and picked up one of the trophies, Jester getting confused about what Selena really wanted.
"Remember this cup?" Selena asked while showing the first trophy won by Jester and Selena, Jester's smile also glanced at the trophy.
"Our first party! Of course I remember!" Sounds enthusiastic Jester answered Selena's question
"A total of thirty-six trophies we've won so far, all have memories and I've always managed to be your companion in every race. But only one of these trophies is the most memorable..." Said Selena then hang her sentence, attention Selena now see the trophy.
"I defeated Naomi and Camilla even though I didn't have the confidence to win... Unlike the other trophies" Selena continued her sentence, then walked closer to Jester carrying the trophy.
"You're gonna graduate and maybe we'll meet less often. May I ask for a memory?" Selena Pinta
"Memories - memories?" Ask Jester back
"Photos with me and this cup with my cell phone" Selena replied, Jester smiled with a little laugh.
"So you're talking about this it's just to take a picture with me?" Jester asked with a laugh, Selena laughed.
Jester gave a hand gesture asking for Selena's mobile phone, immediately Selena gave her mobile phone to Jester. They both began posing but many times Jester did not get the right angle, amid the efforts of Jester and Selena set the pose and camera angle to make the aesthetic sound of Luke, Harry, Justin, and others, Grece and Sarah were chatting. Soon they all enter the cup room and find Selena and Jester inside, with a gesture of Jester's hand asking Luke to come closer.
Jester gives Selena his phone and orders Luke to take a picture of her with Selena holding the trophy, after posing for a short while the shutter sound is heard. Selena immediately ran to Luke and saw the results of Luke's shots, Selena's smile was glimpsed at the photo.
"Thank you sister" Selena said and turned to look at Jester, with a thumbs up Jester responding to Selena's thanks
After putting the trophy back into the glass cabinet, Selena again ran a little closer to Jester who gathered with Luke, Harry, Justin, Grece, and Sarah. With a jest they walked together to the photo shoot for graduates, but at the end of the campus lobby at that time it was seen Camilla standing as if she was waiting for someone.
Carrying a bouquet of red roses, Camilla walked up to Jester who was then with her other friends.
"Jester...." Greet Camilla after they were close together, Luke and Harry arrived - arriving forward and blocking Camilla to face each other with Jester.
Of course, Camilla's presence makes Jester's friends upset and very disturbed, alternately they try to block Camilla's actions to interact with Jester. The face of hatred and anger towards Camilla was very visible on the faces of Luke, Harry, Selena, Justin and Grece. But not for Sarah who was the opposite
"Go before I get very angry" Luke threatened
"I want to talk to you, Jester..." Pinta Camilla bowing her head, Jester walks past Luke and Harry.
"Let me talk to him" said Jester, who surprised Luke, Harry, Justin, Grece and Selena
Jester's gentle and kind attitude to Camilla makes Jester's best friend unless Sarah returns emotionally, they consider Camilla who makes Jester and Naomi's relationship messy do not deserve to be treated well.
"Sister! You're..." As Selena talks, Sarah steps forward to prevent Luke, Harry, Selena, Justin and Grece from interrupting Jester and Camilla.
"Your silence" Sarah said sounded serious, though Luke, Harry, Justin, Grece and Selena were surprised but they could only obey Sarah's orders and accept Jester's request.
"Hi Jester, thank you for the time." said Camilla stammered, slowly now her eyes look at Jester with gentleness.
"What's wrong?" ask Jester curiously
"Firstly congratulations on your graduation, you're the only one in our class who can graduate this year..." camilla answered and gave Jester the bouquet of red roses she had held since, but Jester seemed reluctant to accept it to keep the feelings of his friends who were there.
"I understand.." - Camilla sadly hugged the bouquet again.
"Then the second one?" jester asked, Camilla momentarily fell silent for a moment and took a deep breath.
"Secondly I may be late in saying this, I need more courage before deciding to talk about this" Camilla replied, in the middle of Jester's curiosity at that time Camilla hung her sentence for a moment while adjusting her breath.
Nervousness haunts Camilla, there is a fear for Camilla to tell Jester what she wants to say but Camilla is determined to keep telling Jester even though Jester's friends look at her cynically, especially Selena who seemed to want to pounce on him.
"Well..I'm ready!" muttering Camilla, Jester frowned at Camilla's murmur.
"Jester.. I've heard that if Naomi leaves you, I'm sorry for that." Camilla's words cut Jester with a gesture that seemed to ask Camilla not to talk about Naomi.
"I'm sorry, but I have to keep saying it Jester. Please let me continue my sentence.." pinta Camilla, with Jester's breath as if allowing Camilla to continue the sentence.
"Thank you Jester, then, I've also heard that Naomi promised to come back but you lost track of her even if you can't reach her online, are you okay?" camilla asked in a tone that sounded so worried
"Naomi was indeed swallowed by the earth after she left this country.Naomi my family's network could not find it, as if everything was well covered by it. I don't know why, but I don't want to think badly. I'm fine and I'm sure Naomi will keep her promise" Jester said
"I expected you to say that" with a smile full of sincerity Camilla chimed in Jester's words
"Hey... Do you remember, you once said you liked me, right?" with a slight sound of Camilla's laughter uttering it, Jester still flatly stared into Camilla's eyes.
"I know your love was not fake to me, your smile is also sincere to me, and everything changes... maybe even five years down the line. But will your heart continue to be that strong?" camilla asked a little press
"Jester.I reiterate now, I will not chase you, will not force you to love me, and will not show my love in front of you until you ask me to love you yourself..... I'll change whatever you want me to change from me, I'll love you deeply and even if you want to. I'll be Naomi for you." Camilla said, jester, Luke, Harry, Justin, Grece, and Selena were shocked.
"I love you Jester. and I'll wait for you whenever it's. Don't hesitate, I.." Camilla said, Jester walked up to Camilla and picked up the bouquet of roses that Camilla had been hugging since.
"Thank you for the flowers and the expression of your feelings.I appreciate everything, but.." Jester momentarily fell silent and suddenly smiled.
"I'll keep waiting for Naomi at all times" so sure of Jester when she said it, Camilla smiled at Jester and hugged him for a while and turned to leave the place.
For a moment there was silence between them all seeing Camilla's steps away, as if they were all amazed to hear the words of Jester who would still wait for Naomi with confidence.
"Well, what the fuck is Camilla, the fox is still a fox" Grece chirped into silence, Luke turned around and looked at Grece as if agreeing with his words.
"That's right, maybe Jester will accept the fox's words" Luke said, chiming in on Grece's words, Justin just laughed when he heard Luke and Grece agree.
"Hey Jester! you wouldn't be trapped by Camilla, would you?" ask Harry with pressure
Worries are shown by Jester's best friend, Camilla who they know is indeed the figure of Camilla who is evil and cunning. Their concern for Jester makes them not want Jester trapped by Camilla.
"What's this about? why are you looking at him like that?" sarah's question sounded emotional, Sarah's question caught the attention of Luke, Grece, Harry, and Selena.
"Hey baby, she's the one who made Naomi leave. Why do you defend him?" ask Luke
"Open your eyes gorilla, she says it sincerely" Sarah replied
"Hey Sarah! he could have planned something, did you forget how he made the scenario until there was a whole mess that we can feel up to now?" Harry was provoked by his emotions, Sarah now looked at Harry sharply.
"Are you naive or stupid? Jester still needs a good companion sooner or later, maybe I'm the only one who's normal here and can feel the sincerity of people!" sarah replied with a slight snatch, Harry was silent but still expressed his disapproval of Sarah's words.
"But Camilla donk too! he's evil!" grece snapped to Sarah, with a sigh Sarah was about to respond to Grece's anger.
"It is difficult to talk to a person who is filled with revenge and can not open his heart to accept the reality if he is sincere, I so ask - ask - who is evil now" timpal Sarah cynically then left his friends to the campus lobby
They were all silent and astonished, in their minds they asked about where Sarah was on the side. But unlike Justin, he is more interested in where Jester will dock after for one more year this Naomi does not also give a sign - a sign he will return. Slowly Justin walked up to Jester, a light pat on Jester's shoulder as Justin tried to grab Jester's attention.
"What do you think?" justin asked in a relaxed tone and a smile on his lips, Jester laughed for a moment before answering Justin's question.
"Yes think? look. I thank you all for your attention... Haaah~" said Jester then turned to look at his friends.
"Maybe I will extend my curse as an immortal singles, I don't know how long it will last but I can only confirm one thing...." Jester hung up his sentence for a moment with a smile that was so bright staring at Luke, Harry, Justin, Grece, and Selena, they all did not return Jester's smile and just fell silent into Jester's eyes.
"One thing is that I will still wait for Naomi even though papa will think of me as a same-sex lover, I will try to die - dead looking for Naomi to immediately break my curse, and you will always be faithful to accompany me because you are my best friends" said Jester continued his sentence and he laughed, Jester laughter seemed contagious.
The first Grece laughed and the others followed, and they all ran to hug Jester until Jester fell on the floor.
