I Borrowed Him
Naoko's Suspicion
A bright morning in a cluster of luxury housing, a red Porsche 911 drove at Naomi's direction and stopped at a modern stately home carport with a hint of Japanese ornamentation. In front of the courtyard there is a woman taking care of a bonsai, the woman is Naoko.
Naoko does have a hobby of caring for bonsai and she does not entrust her bonsai care to the garden nurses in the house, Naoko will never distract him while taking care of the bonsai but the presence of Jester's car when it distracts Naoko.
When the car stops perfectly Naoko appears to give her bonsai maintenance equipment to someone who was standing next to Naoko, Naomi not long out of the car followed by Jester after. Seeing Jester coming to visit Naoko immediately stood up from her seat and immediately walked closer to Jester and Naomi, without a smile Naoko looked at Jester from a distance.
"I was surprised when Naomi's driver and car arrived first, it turns out that you two are planning a date" Naoko chanted with a little scream because she was still a little far from Jester and Naomi, what a great welcome for Naomi.
"I'm home ma'am, sorry to worry you" Naomi ran over to Naoko a little and bowed in salute to Naoko, Jester who saw Naomi bowing too swiftly bowed even though she looked stiff.
"Good afternoon Mrs Scott!" Sapa Jester excitedly, Naoko's smile line was visible as she looked at Jester who slowly lifted her body looking at Naoko
"Good afternoon Jester san.it's good to see you again" Naoko said in a soft and warm voice, Naoko looking more friendly than Jester's first meeting with her.
"Jester san?" Jester was a bit confused looking at Naomi, Naomi turned to look at Jester but did not say anything.
"That's a call to honor someone" Naoko explained Jester's confusion with a smile, Jester returned Naoko's smile with embarrassment
"Hoo like that, I've never been taught that way. Sorry for my discourtesy" Jester leaned back to look at the distressed Naomi at the time, as Jester lifted her body back up and gestured for Jester to enter the house.
"How about you relax for a second? I want to get to know my daughter's boyfriend better" Naoko asked
Hearing Naoko's invitation arrive - Naomi was about to speak but Naoko gave a gesture to keep Naomi quiet, Jester was a bit hesitant to answer Naoko's invitation because he understood if Naomi objected but was unable to refuse. For a moment of thought while scratching - scratching his forehead but still silent for a moment.
"I'm happy with this invitation but. I have a little business, so please excuse Mrs Scott I.." Not yet finished Jester spoke Naoko cut.
"Sure.I get it, maybe next time. It's just that maybe I'll schedule a meeting with your parents soon and talk about your relationship, I suspect you guys aren't the same couple as Naomi and you told me" Naoko said, sounding intimidating, Jester was surprised and looked very confused about what to do.
Jester was silent and looked at Naomi, slowly Naomi's gaze turned to look at Jester and understood that Jester was confused. At that moment of eye-to-eye Naomi nodded as if giving permission to Jester to accept Naoko's request, feeling that she got permission from Naomi, and immediately Jester looked at Naoko and agreed to her request.
"Well Mrs Scott, I'll postpone my business, thank you for the invitation" Jester said casually, smiling Naoko turned around and guiding Jester and Naomi into the house.
Jester and Naomi follow Naoko to a large Japanese room with a tatami lying in the room, a cool room with a cool breeze - sepoi that enters because it is adjacent to a garden next to it. The sound of bamboo rubbing against the wind was very clear in the room made the atmosphere very comfortable, but not for Naomi who had been depressed by the existence of her mother.
In the room Jester sat next to Naomi while Naoko was in front of them who were separated by a table, but the gaze pressed on Naoko looked very fixed on Naomi who lowered her gaze.
"So since when have you been dating?" Naoko asked in a relaxed tone with a smile even though her gaze was still on Naomi, Naomi was jolted when she heard Naoko's question
"Heem... Since..." haven't finished speaking Naomi chimed in
"Four months ago!" a little loudly and frantically Naomi replied, Jester looked at Naomi in surprise.
"Naomi... Isn't it rude of you to do that?" Naoko said with a slight increase in her tone
"Sorry mom..." Naomi looked down again, Naoko looked at Jester as well as Jester who turned her eyes to look at Naoko.
"How's Jester san?" naoko asked in a relaxed tone again but this time without a smile.
"Well... As Naomi said, we have been dating since four months ago" Jester replied sounding calm, Jester looks not intimidated at all since the beginning of meeting Naoko.
"Did you know Naomi had a boyfriend 1 month before dating you?" Naoko asked again, Jester seemed to think for a moment before answering.
"Is that Daniel? I'm right, aren't I?" with a sinless face Jester said while looking at Naomi, Naomi just glanced at Jester and looked down again
"So Naomi told you about it?" asked Naoko who looked surprised by Jester's reply
"Well, in part, it's not clear because it's painful for Naom... Aaauu!!" jester's words are interrupted as Naomi pinches Jester's thigh, while Jester and Naoko look at Naomi.
"Have you ever had someone you loved before Naomi, Jester san?" Naoko asked again, that day Jester was filled with questions from Naoko that made Jester start to feel depressed but tried to keep looking calm.
"No... I haven't dated since then until now, haha.... might sound embarrassing huh?" Jester said it casually with a hint of embarrassment, Jester's smile signifying he wasn't provoked at all by Naoko's trap-questions.
"I don't think love should be given to the right people, not to try, what do you think Jester san?" asked Naoko again this time her tone began to turn into a stern statement, Jester slightly jolted and lost her smile as she looked at Naoko.
"Wait...Where is this conversation going?" Jester is starting to look hooked
Naoko takes her mobile phone and opens the Ingram app and then looks for the viral video that has just been exposed and then puts it on the front desk of Jester and Naomi, it is the vidio of the incident earlier when Naomi, Jester, Daniel and Sarah get into a fight at a fast food restaurant. Naomi and Jester were shocked to death to see the vidio go viral so quickly, with comments and a huge number of likes showing just how viral it is today.
"If you're not Naomi's boyfriend, can you do this shameful Jester san thing?" Ask Naoko back
Jester kept looking at the vidio and what he noticed the most was when Jester pretentiously questioned whether his face looked unfit to be Naomi's boyfriend, with Jester's blushing face looking very embarrassed.
"It's hard to be dating Naomi, there's a little bit of a fuss then the whole world will know. As if all eyes are looking at you, there is no place of privacy for you and Naomi" Naoko chirped, slowly Jester looking at Naoko with shame.
"I know, but it doesn't matter, Miss Scott? I was just protecting Naomi at the time" explained Jester trying to cover up her embarrassing behavior, Naoko smiling look happy.
"Sure.. I don't care, but what about you guys?" naoko asked a hanging question like he was luring the two of them to confess their lies
"I don't care, we do..." Not finished Jester spoke, Naoko again cut Jester's words and this time Naoko's sharp gaze was so visible.
"What about your lies? are you sure I won't find out as soon as possible?" Naoko looked at Naomi who was rightly cornered, Naomi realized this was the end of her play.
"Yes..." Naomi was about to speak but Jester's hand clasped Naomi's hand tightly under the table, Naomi flinched as Jester clasped her hand tightly and looked at Jester. Just then Jester looked at Naoko without the slightest hesitation
"There are no lies, he and I are dating right now. I hope Mrs Scott can give me permission so we can be the perfect match" Jester said with a relaxed tone and a big smile. Naoko smiled at Jester and took her phone on the table and stood up to leave them alone
"Hopefully I didn't listen to a story that could disappoint me, Evans san, Will san, and Marrie San. Welcome to Scott Jester San. I represent this family to receive you here with arms wide open, thank you for the time" Naoko slightly bowed and walked away leaving the two of them in that place.
For the second time Jester became a hero to Naomi, although the situation was really stressful for both of them. One thing they did not expect because they had to face Naoko without preparation, Naomi who was still staring at Jester's face since earlier felt this time Jester looks cool to make Naomi's face red.
Naomi looks fascinated staring at Jester who is still staring at the exit of the room, suddenly Jester lay down and took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. Jester was relieved that the intimidation was finally over, but Naomi was still stunned to look at Jester.
"Huuaah? I'm so depressed" jester said as she set her breath, Naomi just kept her eyes on Jester.
Feeling ignored, Jester looked at the dreamy-looking Naomi. Jester crawled up to Naomi and patted her on the shoulder to wake Naomi from her daydream, and Naomi gasped.
"Hey... Are you daydreaming?" ask Jester who's worried about Naomi
"Aah Eeh. Yes sorry.." replied Naomi who realized from her daydream and lowered her head.
"So like this is your mother, wow it was really stressful.You know, this time I felt intimidated" Jester explains her mood at the time but Naomi does not respond to Jester at all, both of whom are silent for a while until Naomi then looks at Jester.
"So.... how? once you know that I also need your help, I guess..." Naomi stopped talking because Jester's finger touched Naomi's lips, although she was surprised that Jester's finger touched her lips, but Naomi just silently looked at Jester.
"The contract goes on, it's not who needs who. I will respect your privacy and I too have dragged you into this vortex. So thank you for playing for me, we keep playing by obeying the contract I signed" Jester said with a big smile and with warm eyes.
Naomi's eyes began to look glassy and at the same time Naomi blushed embarrassed, the confusion in her brain suddenly melted due to Jester's behavior at that time. Naomi smiled broadly as she brushed off Jester's hand that had touched her lips, and Naomi's expression now looked angrily at Jester.
"This is also included in the breach of the tofu contract!" naomi snapped with an angry face but with a voice that sounded spoiled.
"Haah?? that doesn't include, does it?!! I'm trying to calm you down!!" in a panicked tone Jester said
Naomi laughed a little hard because she managed to prank Jester, while Jester who felt bullied also looked so upset. The two were involved in a small quarrel with each other - words, it looks Jester and Naomi are now more familiar.
Amidst the commotion between Jester and Naomi in the room, it appears outside the room Naoko is standing and not far from the exit is eavesdropping on the conversation of Jester and Naomi. As it turned out that Naoko was listening to all the talk of the two of them, Naoko slowly walked away from the place while continuing to look at the park.
"It turns out they are lying. But they are very suitable, can I help them both and treat Naomi's heart that has been hurt because of me?" muttered Naoko in a quiet voice, not a few long Naoko's phone rang. Immediately Naoko stared at the cellphone screen and immediately picked up the phone
***
"Hello" said Naoko
"Hi Naoko San. It's Marrie Gates who speaks" Marrie who called Naoko at the time.
"Marrie San's... It's an honor for you to call me" in a cynical tone Naoko answered
"I'm happy to start over our old enmity hohoho.. but can you put a moment of past grudge and open a new leaf with me?" ask Marrie who turns out they have known each other for a long time and have a bad relationship with each other.
"Do you want Marrie Chan, are you so annoying that you have to call me?" Naoko replied with insinuation and hate.
"Hohoho, it's still as spicy as it used to be? look, maybe your instincts have been dull... but you must know what my purpose is to bother contacting you like this right?" marrie's tone was slightly insinuating
"Sorry, I'm not interested." Naoko replied, Marrie chimed in again.
"About my son and your daughter, they're lying right?" marrie's tone was slightly pressing, Naoko who heard that suddenly ignited her emotions.
"What do you want?!" Naoko answered him with a slightly angry tone
"Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the Gates Hotel Restaurant I'm waiting for you, whether you will come or not. but I will wait for you there, bye bye Naoko San..." Marrie hung up on me.

"That guy!! I still can't stop hating him!!" said Naoko while stomping feet a little hard on the floor
Morning at noon, in the courtyard of Scott's family home. Seen Jester had entered the car and opened the car glass to say goodbye to Naomi, next to the car with the open window glass Naomi stood and looked at Jester with a smile they were about to release Jester's return.
"Well, I say hello to Mr and Mrs Scott" Jester said in the car, nodding a few times
"Sure.. and uum... tomorrow you have free time?" Naomi asked with a little embarrassment - embarrassment, Jester tried to remember about her schedule for tomorrow.
"Tomorrow? no, I'm not going to be on campus because I'm the brand ambassador of every club on campus" Jester replied, Naomi laughing a little with Jester's answer.
"Yes actually for that I asked you, when I came to campus yesterday that I wanted to start getting to know campus life.but the tragedy with you just happened, Haah.." full of regret Naomi said, but, Jester was visibly upset by Naomi's words that seemed to regret the tragedy.
"Heeii.I'm sorry for that" said Jester in a slightly upset tone, Naomi again laughed a little at Jester's expression.
"It's not enough, you have to take me around campus tomorrow. I don't want to know, tomorrow at 9 I'm already on campus and you should be at the entrance of the campus before I come. Well, bye....meet you tomorrow!" naomi said she ran into her house, leaving Jester, still dumb in the car, staring at Naomi.
"What the hell is that woman thinking?" jester's dumb-ass face still seemed to hold a pang of resentment towards Naomi, but on the other hand Naomi smiled widely while continuing to run inside her house to the room.
