I Borrowed Him

The Past of Jester

***THIS EPICODE USES A FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW AS JESTER***

I went to one of the most famous high schools in town, usually just the children of officials, successful businessmen, and wealthy people who went to that high school. But not with Luke and Harry, yeah, they're not one of the groups of people I call, but papa sent them to high school. So did the woman I liked in High School at the time, Luna Lincoln, someone I heard was taken by the Selena family to school just like Luke and Harry.

My school was full of bullying, to be honest Luke and Harry should have been the victims of bullying at school but because they stuck to me so at least Harry could get away with it. Luke? haha...who would dare to fight that gorilla? he's the one who beat up whoever bullied Harry at the time and his every act makes it hard for you to apologize to Luke's victims or at least papa who paid for Luke's hospital fees. But papa felt Luke was cool for daring to fight back and not allowing others to bully him, I was also amazed at him and maybe if there was Luke's position I wouldn't be as strong as him.

Likewise with Luna, she became a victim of bully at school. Even from the beginning he entered, somehow everyone seemed to know he was a child from an inadequate family and was lucky to be able to go to school there because he was helped by someone. Selena also seemed unable to do anything - what, I often saw her helping Luna go from where she was in bully with embarrassing circumstances and Selena could only help her after Luna was finished being stranded.

So one day I caught the bully Luna, not only schoolgirls but also some students who joined Luna. Luke and I managed to get rid of them and Harry tried to cover up Luna's exposed body because her shirt lost all buttons, Harry took off his shirt and gave it to Luna while I gave him my jacket because he was soaking wet as water ran out. "You okay?" I asked when I saw it so horrendous, the bullying was completely inhumane to me.

"I'm fine, why are you helping me? aren't you afraid of being a bully too?" that was Luna's answer with a line of smiles clearly drawn on her face as the three of us worried about her condition, yes. At that moment I began to be fascinated with him, his heart that was as strong as steel and his attitude that seemed to accept destiny was so sincere.

When we wanted to take her away, Selena arrived at the place looking out of breath because she might run. With a breath of breath Selena looked at us in anger, "You shameless people! how dare women!!" I remember that scene, a snapshot of a schoolgirl with short hair like a boy. Not the Selena I know now, really, I barely recognize her if I remember Selena's figure in High School with this moment.

"They saved me, don't misunderstand me" said Luna and she walked up to Selena, looking at Selena's eyes suddenly turned full of worry while taking care of Luna's entire body. "Thank you" said Luna at the time and walked away from us, a word I always remembered back then. Not his words but his soft voice that made me remember him, I petrified for a while until Luke patted me hard on the shoulder.

"Why Bro? in love?" luke asked with his perverted smile, I brushed off his hand and looked into his eyes deeply - in "Yes, I seem to feel the vibe of love towards him" I replied firmly, honestly, I was embarrassed to say it in front of my friends. But I'm a fool about romance, so without their help how do I approach Luna? I get nervous every time I meet him, do strange things, say strange things, even stammer like a stutter. I was like a crazy person when I met him, not that he would be comfortable with me being ilfeel.

So my approach began at the beginning of the second semester, why the second semester? just ask Luke and Harry, it was their idea. During the first semester I just kept trying to protect Luna from bullies and act like a superhero in front of her, nothing else. All that changed when I entered the beginning of the second semester, I started to approach her often and go to her class just to meet her. I bought a few bags and I took them to Luna's class to eat together, but it only lasted three times. Not because Luna refused my presence, when Luna brought provisions from her house for me. He offered to cook for me, even though I felt bad, but still I accepted because I felt my approach worked.

Argha! it is very difficult to recall the moment of my being with Luna, only a few of which I can remember. Almost half a semester I and Luna eat together every day during school breaks and I always eat provisions that Luna brought for me, one day I also ventured to invite Luna on a date. Looks like my first date was at the squere festival, why? because there are all, fun rides, good food and drinks, and other romantic places. Labyrinth garden? I don't know, I don't seem to go in there and I actually don't really remember anything I've done in that place with Luna. I really have trouble remembering clearly.

Everything went well, Luna always seemed to laugh happily when I met her. There was no sign whatsoever that he didn't like me, no one. Monday to Saturday at school every break I and Luna eat together, every school I always take her home and I had a few times to meet with Luna's mother, I forget what her name is, every Saturday the week Luna and I have been dating almost the whole day we met.

Luna has also met with papa and mama, papa and mama's response is also very good to receive Luna. Although at that time we had a little quarrel because Luna did not want to meet papa and mama, the reason? she didn't want my pride to fall for dating a poor family like she said, but papa and mama never took issue with it and still accepted Luna for who she was. Whereas I don't care about Luna's background because I love her unconditionally, I fall in love with her and I just want her to be next to me... but all that changes as we approach the third-grade farewell festival.

Each towards the end of the semester, the school always holds a class farewell event.Yes, the third grade will leave the school full of memories for teachers, students and students. I was the member of the osis when I got the task of organizing the farewell event, so that's when I almost never again had lunch with Luna at the break. I was never with him for maybe a whole week, without realizing I was too focused on my job. In addition to being a committee I was also a performer, my band that I formed with Justin, Luke, and Harry became the main star of the farewell show.

But at Luna's house I found a scene I never expected, Luna's house had been sold to someone. I asked around trying to figure out where Lincoln's family was moving to, but the new family at Luna's didn't know where they were going. Again - again I felt something was wrong, why didn't Luna tell me? why didn't he send me a message? all those questions haunt me. But I didn't run out of ideas to look for it, so I called Luna right away but the phone never got connected because it looked like she changed her phone number.

I asked Luke and Harry to try to get his opinion on what happened, but Luke and Harry said he was angry because I never came to his class for one week, no longer see him for a date on Saturday, and never text him first. That'sallthat's all.... Luke and Harry just said he was mad at me for it.... You believe me? I used to believe it, but right now I don't believe it.

A whole month I never met him again, I asked the school about a student named Luna Lincoln who did not attend school for a month. But the school's answer only says that Luna is planning to change schools, yes. I was shocked to death then, after losing her at school, I lost her place of residence and I also lost her number. Ask Selena? I was not very familiar with her and at that time Selena did not count on me to meet Luna, strange yes...why did I not look for her and ask her? I don't know, I don't understand my old self.

Day after day I passed by without word from Luna and I lost her, until it came to the night of the farewell. Surprisingly I met Luna in one corner of the school garden that night with Selena, somehow I was so nervous to see her. I walked over and greeted him with a guilty feeling. "Luna, where have you been all this time? are you angry with me? I'm sorry" that was my first sentence after a long time of not meeting her, Luna turned her body and looked at me with a smile.

"No brother, I'm not angry with you. I'm sorry I didn't bother you because my dad was in trouble at his job" he replied at the time, I began to understand all the reasons for Luna's absence from school, Lincoln's family moving out of the housing cluster, and I started to understand, and why Luna's phone can't be reached. Many times I see it on television about a bankrupt family and selling all its assets and removing his son from an expensive school ordinary school, it must be like that, right? I believed that before, but now I don't.

At that time I spent my time with him, he was as usual and did not change in the slightest. Really I didn't make it - there was, she was still the Luna I knew without any change in attitude. We talked together in the school yard until it was time for me to perform on stage, Luke called me and said that the preparations were done. It's not preparation, but preparation I'm going to shoot Luna that day on stage that I asked Luke and Harry for.

I pulled Luna's hand for her to come with me to the front of the stage and say I'm going to perform, there I left Luna and I immediately went on stage to start our performance playing some songs to entertain the audience. My eyes were always on Luna and her smile that looked at me really fascinated me, I was a little unfocused at that moment until I made a few mistakes. Embarrassingly, the main star of such a big event even made a lot of mistakes.

My nervousness grew - so as we played our last song, it was like a death row inmate waiting for the second of his execution. That's how nervous I feel, I'm going to shoot Luna on stage today when our last song is done. Our last song had a duration of five minutes and when the song ended.... Justin chuckled as he looked at the audience who seemed to be enjoying our performance.

On the stage I looked at Luna and she also looked at me with a smile, as if she did not know what was waiting for her on stage. "All...today there is something special, of course, of course. farewell with the upperclassmen is very special but there is something I have to announce that is more special than that" justin said starting the first step of my screenplay to shoot Luna, rumors of the voices of students and students in front of the stage also sounded very clear in my ears.

"I need a very beautiful student to take the stage" as Justin said it, the floodlights pointed at Luna and Luna were shocked. I deeply remember her surprised face back then, her eyes that arrived wide open and her smile that disappeared... Luna looked to the right - left as if she did not believe her appointed self that night. As Luna walked up to the stage with Selena, whom she held behind her back, Luke walked up to me and gave her the flowers I ordered.

"Luna, do you know why I brought you on stage?" Justin asked Luna and Luna just shook her head with a face that was still shocked looking at Justin, I walked up to Luna and knelt in front of her while giving her a bucket of red roses. "Luna's... Will you be my girlfriend?" I asked in a soft voice, is something wrong? am I over-thinking her with our closeness? didn't you? we spent time together, he accepted my presence with open arms?

Luna took a bucket of flowers from my hand and she threw it very hard in my face, "Who do you think you are?! how embarrassing!! what - what the fuck are you doing something like this?! you want me to be your girlfriend? disgust!! Read it before you do!! you are a loser!! stop approaching me!!" he said so loudly that maybe the whole school heard him, he came back down from the stage leaving me. The sound of the laughter of one school was heard that night....
