I Borrowed Him

Evans and the Times of the Past

Three o'clock in the morning before Naomi's search for Jester, someone is seen standing in front of the exit of Jester and Naomi's house. Someone was a Jester who was warming up and stretching to get ready to exercise, feeling that the preparation had been perfect Jester began to run and the lake on a suburban hill became his goal.

During the trip Jester continued to run small without looking tired, his face showing how heavy his heart was. Jester continued to think about Naomi, Camilla, and Selena along the way, but Jester still did not get the right solution for the problem. Until a while the sun began to rise and Jester was able to see the lake from the top of the hills, Jester increased his running speed to the point of his last stamina.

Arriving at the lake that looks beautiful and beautiful but quiet from the hustle and bustle of urban sounds, Jester looks very tired and out of breath. Jester sloshed his body in the grass close to the lake while continuing to try to regulate his unstable breath, sweat that soaked his entire body even Jester let it flow and wet his clothes and sweatpants.

"Capeeek!!" yelling Jester in one breath while staring at the clear sky that morning, the view of the clouds and birds in the sky makes Jester a little dreamy for a while. The sounds of the wild sound soothing to Jester, some time Jester closed his eyes and enjoyed the sound of the wild sound that sounded like music. At once Naomi's voice sounded like she was calling Jester's name and her face was clearly drawn inside her head to make Jester surprised to open her eyes.

"Why did Naomi's face appear in my brain?! didn't I fall in love with Camilla?" ask Jester to himself, Jester sat down and looked at the lake in front of him and still continued to think about his increasingly complicated love relationship with the presence of Naomi which added to the turmoil between himself, Selena and Camilla.

"Am I in love with Naomi? but it's cheating on his name.I can't do it" Jester spoke to himself in a worried-sounding tone, Jester looked back at the calm lake accompanied by the sound of the wild nature that was mutually unpretentious. Jester closed his eyes again and the memory of Naomi kissing his lips three times returned, Jester's face suddenly reddened to make him reopen his eyes.

"Aaah it's true.This is because Naomi kissed me at will" in an annoyed tone Jester said, saying, Jester stood up and took some stones and threw them as far as possible into the lake, repeatedly throwing them and hoping he would start to feel calm. But Jester even more furious, the more and more stones he threw even more berpubi - tubi also memory of the quarrel between Naomi and Selena shadowed in his head. Jester got more emotional and more stones he threw

"Yeah!!!! why can't I forget those bad memories!!!" Jester shouted out loudly, from behind Jester a voice sounded and a stone throw right past Jester's head.

The stone made a ripple of water in the lake, while Jester looked at the water ripple and turned his body to see the person who threw the stone. Right behind him Jester saw Evans and a bodyguard behind Evans pushing a wheelchair, Jester was surprised to see Evans there and immediately bowed in greeting.

"The essence of throwing annoyance at the lake lies not in the number of stones or how far you throw them, but when the ripples of water are formed you will imagine whose face immediately flashed from the blur of your shadow reflected at that time" said Evans with a friendly and smiling face look at Jester, at that time Jester still lowered his body while listening to Evans' words.

"Good morning dad!" greet Jester who is still bowing

"For Jester" Evans said, ordering his bodyguard to push the wheelchair closer to Jester with a gesture of his hand, and Jester raised his head to look at Evans next to him. The two were seen together looking at the lake, but for a while the two were silent.

"Are you in a state of mind?" evans asked breaking their silence, Jester looked at Evans face with a sad look.

"Well yes, maybe" Jester replied stammered, hearing that answer made Evans turn his gaze to Jester but still smile.

"Is it because Naomi isn't as good as you'd expect?" evans asked softly, as soon as Jester gasped at Evans' question. In his heart, Jester felt guilty for lying to Evans and Naoko, not to mention that his only child is actually in love with him and worse Jester is still not sure if he can repay Naomi's love or not.

"No dad, not that. Naomi was kind and probably perfect for me" replied Jester, who suddenly panicked to cover up her guilt, Jester threw away a face shortly after the interview Evans asked.

"I'm happy if it's like that, then if I may know what makes you afraid to have to vent it on this lake?" evans asked, still looking at Jester

"Well, I find it a little difficult to explain" replied the hanging Jester, Evans turned his gaze to the lake before continuing his conversation with Jester.

"Me and your dad used to come here together just to confide in each other" Evans said, arriving, Jester surprised to hear Evans' words at the time while looking at Evans in disbelief. Someone who Jester knows as a brutal and stubborn man, turns out to be a figure who often vent on the edge of the lake like this with his best friend.

"Huh? has he? papa's been confiding too much?" asked Jester who was surprised by Evans' speech, when Evans laughed at Jester who was so surprised to hear the fact about his papa.

"That's right, your papa's not as loud as he looks. He also easily cries when venting, especially if it hurts things that touch the heart of William" Evans replied with a little laugh, a little, Jester smiled cynically at the new fact about William that he had not known all along.

"Ahahaha... turned out to be so, papa still has a weakness turns out" Jester laughed wickedly while thinking about how revenge due to him that can not match the strength of William, who can not match William, at that moment Evans laughed louder and louder to hear Jester's speech.

"I was taught about hills and beaches by your papa, I'm sure you already know about how to live life like William. But about the lake I was the one who taught it to your papa, it seems like you have also been taught about the lake" Evans said when his laughter subsided a little, hearing Evans' words made Jester pensive again for a while.

"Papa said, when my heart has been turbulent because of the emotions that have peaked then the lake is the picture. The lake remains calm even though the world is shaking, so like the water in the lake I have to regulate my emotions" explained Jester, Evans smiled at Jester's explanation.

"Then what's in your heart right now?" evans asked in a soft tone, just then Jester's heart returned like it was shot by Evans's question. All the memories of Naomi and her fear of hurting her heart were vividly reflected in her mind, Jester's eyes again showing sadness.

"About Naomi. I was afraid of hurting her heart." Jester's answer was cut by Evans.

"I'm sorry dad, I'm not.." Jester's remark was cut back by Evans.

"It's okay, I get it. Then does Naomi know? what's he saying?" asked Evans still in a soft tone as if he had no problem with what happened between the child's relationship with his prospective daughter-in-law, Jester was silent for a while and his clenched hands held back his angry feelings towards himself.

"Yes he knew and said he would keep chasing me, but I'm not the type of guy who can divide hearts. I feel so guilty for Naomi, especially for mom and dad. Everything happened so quickly and the more I couldn't control, it was all my fault father" replied Jester regretfully, Evans smiling at Jester's reply and staring at the Lake.

"Maybe it's my karma" Evans said, taking a stone in front of him and throwing it into the lake, hearing Evans' words at the time made Jester again surprised but Jester was still not strong to look at Evans.

"Before I met Naoko, I loved another woman but for reasons and events that I did not expect I was dating Naoko" evans explained the meaning of the karma he had just said, slowly Jester turned his gaze to look at Evans with a look of disbelief.

"You're a good guy Jester, there's no reason you feel guilty to me or to Naoko. Unlike me who dumped Naoko just like that back then, I told her that I didn't love her and would leave her whenever I wanted" Evans began to lose his smile staring at Jester, from the look in Evans' eyes at the time it was clear that Evans was very sorry for the incident.

"Father.then why father and mother.." Jester's question was cut by Evans.

"I dumped Naoko on this lake, but by the time I left her here... Naoko told me let me love you even if you won't return my love, I will prove to you that my love is best for you" said Evans, who smiled slightly at Jester, Jester was still silent and his face looked solemn listening to Evans' story.

"I changed - changed women but Naoko still remained faithful beside me, I don't know how many times I hurt Naoko and I never thought it existed. Until the time came for my punishment to go down, I was slumped and my business was completely destroyed until there was nothing left of me. All gone from my life except for William and Naoko" Evans stories stalled since, Evans tried to calm himself from his bad memories and his eyes look glazed - glass.

"At that time I called William to ask him for help with money so that I could still be free from prison charges and pay off my debts, he said, William was trying to sell some of his assets even though I hadn't asked for them. While waiting for William with high anxiety, Naoko visited my house which was then to be confiscated by the bank. She took all her savings and jewelry and gave it to me" Evans continued, and she didn't feel her tears coming, wiping them away.

"Naoko told me to use this money and jewelry and I demand you to return it when you rise later with additional interest per year according to the prevailing Bank interest, I'm just giving you a loan and I don't have the fuss to demean you. At that instant Naoko was about to leave me without waiting for any answer from me, I ran after Naoko and pulled her hand to stop walking" evans speech again stopped to regulate his breath that began to pant because of holding back his crying, Jester bowed to hear Evans' story that sounded bitter.

"I proposed to her at that time in the midst of my slump, I told Naoko would you marry me and start everything from scratch with me. After what I've done to her, I'm ready for a rejection, but you know what Naoko said?" evans asked as he wiped his tears again, Jester looked back at Evans.

"Mother accepts father" replied Jester briefly, Evans laughing at Jester's reply at the time to make Jester astonished and confused.

"I know you'll answer that, it's classic but it's not like that. Naoko rejected me" Evans said firmly and again set his breath, hearing Evans' words made Jester even more astonished.

"Huh?! why are you and mom getting married?" asked Jester who sounded full of astonishment, Evans stared at the lake and was silent for a moment.

"Naoko said I refused your request, I don't want you to propose to me because I helped you when you were down like this. Let me keep trying to pursue your love until you really fall in love with me and ask me one more time, I will be faithfully waiting for you" Evans replied as he looked at Jester with a smile full of happiness, Jester ran out of words to hear what Evans said at the time and could only look at Evans with a feeling of admiration.

"After everything's over, I'm here with your papa. I vent and tell the same story as I am telling you right now" while turning my eyes to Lake Evans said

"Haah, and when I got to the top of my glory again, I proposed to Naoko again and I offered everything I had to be our wedding dowry. But he just asked me to sincerely love him and for no reason indebted or whatever, just the love he wanted. That's my little story Jester, do you feel the resemblance?" Evans ends his story and then stares silently at the lake, Jester looks down and continues to think about Evans' life story.

"Well, what should I do? I didn't want to hurt Naomi, she was too kind to experience something like that" Jester asked back in a tone that sounded sad and indecisive

"I don't know the answer to your question, you have to find your own answer and I think this lake will give you your peace of mind so you can choose what you have to do" Evans replied, Jester and Evans were eye-to-eye and the two were smiling together with a slight sound of laughter heard.

Not long ago the sound of the roar of the car engine driven at an abnormal speed, the car braked hard and made a noisy sound of friction tires with asphalt. A Mercedes Benz V260 was spotted near the BMW 740Li, while Naomi was seen coming down from the car and staring at Jester from a distance. His sad face was clearly drawn as the two looked out from a distance, Evans and Jester seeing Naomi walking up to them.

"The person we're talking about is right in front of us, do you know what to tell him?" evans asked as he looked at Naomi who walked up to the two of them, Jester took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"I still haven't decided anything, but I stick to my principles.I don't want to hurt him" Jester replied calmly and firmly, Evans looking happy to hear Jester's reply.

"You're a good man, Jester, I leave my daughter to you no matter what happens in the future" Evans said, but Jester nodded in response to Evans.

Before long Naomi was right standing in front of Jester and Evans, Naomi continued to look at Jester's face without a word and Jester also seemed to be unable to say anything. The three were silent on the edge of the lake and even more silent Evans guards who from the beginning in the lake just silent sculpting.
