I Borrowed Him
The Promise That Has Been Pronounced
On a clear Friday at dusk, dense urban streets when it was seen Mercedes Benz C200 drove at a high enough speed to the hospital on the outskirts of the city. In the car, Naomi and Selena are still quiet since they had a little fight in the mall, the only conversation they had was when Naomi asked Selena to drive her to the hospital where Becca was being treated. In that silence, Naomi was still thinking about what Jester and Luna were doing at the squere festival. Her mind was full of things that made her fire blaze again, not feeling Naomi sighing loudly enough and attracting Selena's attention.
"Why?" selena asked, sounding worried about Naomi, Naomi who was daydreaming was surprised to hear Selena's question.
"Aahs... Eeh... no. I just daydreamed earlier" replied Naomi stammered, but Naomi's answer at that time made Selena laugh.
"Why laugh?" asked Naomi sounded annoyed, for a moment Selena was silent and then set her breath so that her laughter could be dimmed.
"Do you remember why we became friends when we were kids we always fought?" ask Selena, Naomi frowned trying to remember the reason why they could be friends.
"If it's not wrong. When we're fourth grade, you send me a challenge letter to fight..." Naomi hung up her sentence and tried to recall the incident, Selena laughed again.
"You think the letter sent is a letter of challenge, but it's a letter of submission of a ceasefire" Selena chimed with a little laugh, when Naomi seemed to recall the memories they shared.
"Yes!! I'm in the cluster and ready to hit you, but you gave me a chocolate cake and made me friends!" naomi enthusiastically says it while laughing, then they laugh together.
"Since then me and you became the master of the cluster, not a single cluster child dared to oppose whatever we ordered" Naomi sounded happy to reminisce about her past with Selena, but at that time Selena sighed hard enough and made Naomi wonder.
"All because of Luna...if there is no Luna maybe me and you will never be friends.." in a voice that sounds sad Selena said, Naomi again confused by what Selena said.
"You mean all that was Luna's plan?" ask Naomi curiously
"Yes.he is the son of a private driver who has worked together papa even before I was born, me and Luna born on the day, date, even in the same jam... uniquely we were also born in the same hospital, both our parents have always brought us closer even since we were babies" Selena's eyes look so sad, Naomi felt Selena's sadness at the time because they would be separated in the next few days.
"You know I'm not a very sociable person, so my only friend at the time was Luna... to be honest, I often vilify you in front of him and hope he also hates you, but what I found at that time he always encouraged me to be friends with you" Selena continued her story, for a moment Selena was heard to adjust her breath so that she did not cry.
"I'm sure he's a psychic.. You know a psychic who can read the future?" selena asked with a little laugh, hearing Selena's laughter who wanted to cry at that time did not make Naomi follow laughing and she just continued to be silent listening to Selena's story.
"He once said.... I may not always be next to you to be your friend, you should start looking for a friend who can be your back when I'm no longer next to you..." Selena also shed her tears, for a moment Selena fell silent and marginalized the car and stopped for a moment to finish her crying.
"Why did Luna... choose me?" asked Naomi while stroking Selena's back, Selena wiped the tears that came out at that time and tried to regulate her emotions to return to stability.
"He said that if you and I were different, we would complement each other if we were friends. I rejected it hard but as hard as that Luna pushed me to make peace with you and finally I gave up, the letters and chocolate cake you received were all Luna preparing for it" selena answered and then set her breath back, before long Selena returned to direct her car to the suburban hospital.
"Naomi. I know you are currently burning jealous flames because of Luna, but I assure you again. If you don't trust Luna, at least you believe in me who was your best friend" Selena said as silence resumed between the two, Naomi sighs at Selena's words.
"You're right I'm jealous right now, my mind is always trying to guess what Jester and Luna might be doing right now..." Naomi hung up her sentence, as Naomi and Selena turned their eyes to look at each other.
"You're still my best friend no matter what and I've always believed you" Naomi said with a warm smile, and Selena was shocked to hear Naomi's words. Stunned for a moment, Selena turned her eyes and smiled.
"I'm sorry I was so mean to you Naomi. I was at the time.." Selena's not done talking, Naomi cut.
"If I had known you had the burden of a promise to Luna, I wouldn't be that hard on you. With a glass of my green tea, we should be able to talk heart to heart..." with a tone that sounded annoyed Naomi said it, they also returned to laughing together.
"Why did I remember when Jester and I met at the labyrinthine park, I didn't expect Daniel to take me to the labyrinth at the time" Naomi said as they stopped laughing, Selena breathed out to hear Naomi's words.
"Do you believe Naomi's myth?" selena asked, Selena's question made Naomi flinch in embarrassment.
"Aahs.. Eeh...no! we're rational people, how could I believe a myth?!" with Naomi frantically saying it, the panic made Selena laugh.
"Luna and sister Jester also met in the labyrinth on their first date" Selena chirped again and the apron left Naomi shocked half dead to the point of making her silent in shock.
"Where they made each other a promise, unfortunately Luna never told them what their promise was" Selena continued her chirp, Naomi was only silent at that time along the way.
On the other hand at the same time as Naomi and Selena travel to the hospital where Becca is treated, at the squere festival which looks crowded with visitors. The lights began to light up, the bells rang, and the excitement of the place was felt. But the excitement was not felt for Jester and Luna who were in the middle of the labyrinth, the two were silent staring at each other accompanied by the sound of bells without any interference from anyone.
"We promise to accompany each other under any circumstances.sad, happy, slumped, to rise, until death will separate us.." Luna chirped as the chimes clinked, jester's eyes widened to look at Luna in shock at Luna's words.
All his memories of Luna were completely open and the memories were vividly drawn, not a single memory Jester had forgotten about Luna. As if playing like a vidio recording that automatically plays, Jester remembers about the promise they once said together - the same place.
"We promised.." Luna said, Jester cut.
"We promise that only death will separate us, for whatever sake.we pledge this promise consciously and without coercion.." simultaneously Luna and Jester say, Luna was crying - so when she said it.
"I'm sorry...sorry..sorry....I broke our promise....pardon me.." with a twist Luna said it, I said it, her body trembled violently trying to hold back her cries but Luna was completely powerless to hold it back.
"To....why....why are you this evil to me?!! Explain Luna!!!" so emotional Jester said it that he again unconsciously snapped at Luna for the umpteenth time, his tears were dripping waiting for Luna's answer.
"Sir.. I can only apologize. I'm sorry.." replied Luna wryly, her crying became even more so - so that she made him hiccup. Jester held his head so firmly as to vent all his irritation on his own body, but it did not also make his emotions subside.
"YAAAAAAAAA!!!" jester shouted very loudly, his tears dripping so profusely soaked his cheeks and chin. For a while, Jester and Luna were silent in their respective cries.
The festive atmosphere of the squere festival is not able to dampen the sadness of the two, two people who actually love each other must be separated due to circumstances. After a few minutes passed until the dark of the night was completely swallowed the sunlight, and, jester and Luna looked calm and they sat next to a garden chair next to the fountain with a heart-shaped flower circle just behind the chair.
"Sister.I'll tell you why I rejected you back then, why Selena acted like me, and why I'm now back in your life that's been peaceful without me..." chirps Luna in their silence, but Jester looks not interested at all.
"I was curious but now that my curiosity was gone in an instant" Jester chimed in with a sigh, Luna turning her gaze to look at the dark sky that night.
"Then I don't need to tell you.I hope that your heart is healed from today" Luna said, both of them went back into silence without looking at each other.
"Do you believe in the myths in this place, brother?" luna asked, but Jester laughed at Luna's question as if mocking Luna for asking such an unreasonable thing.
"No, even if I forced myself to believe.First you left me, both Naomi and I met at this place and do you think I'd have two wives?" jester asked with a hint of laughter, Luna sighed
"I believe in that myth, I might actually be your wife if I had time, but when I don't have time then your other soul mate is finally reunited at this park in my place" Luna replied calmly
"Then what do you want now? I did love you so deeply, but now that this space in my heart can no longer be filled by you" asked Jester in a regretful voice, Luna heard a small laugh when she heard Jester's question
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." replied Luna so regretted what had happened between them.
"No, it's not your fault. I just feel empty and like there is something lacking when you are not there, but now Naomi has filled that void" Jester said, luna's smile line that looked heavy still tried to Luna appeared at that time even though Jester did not look at her at all since they sat together.
"I understand...." Luna said it so
"I don't know what you're going to do after this, but I don't want to give you false hope. Thank you for everything" said Jester then stood up to leave the place, not long after Luna followed Jester and they were about to return home from the squere festival.
That night the journey home between Jester and Luna was still wrapped in shades of sadness and disappointment, both silent without a word until forty minutes of travel. When they reached the house by chance Naomi and Selena also just arrived in front of the entrance of the house, Naomi who was about to open the door was turning her eyes to look at the Mercedes Benz V260 parked perfectly in the garage. Not long after Jester and Luna went down together, there was no smile at all visible from the two.
Naomi realizes something unpleasant has happened between Jester and Luna, without asking anything she immediately opens the door and lets Jester in first. At that moment Selena's hand held Luna so that she stopped walking, from the look of Luna's swollen eyes Naomi and Selena increasingly convinced that their journey was not as happy as it should be. The squere festival which always gives happiness to its visitors, does not give any effect to Jester and Luna.
Selena immediately hugged Luna so tightly and let Luna cry in her arms, Naomi who at that time felt the pain of Luna's heart could only be silent while caressing Luna's hair so gently. At times Naomi looked at the entrance of the living room that was closed. It was a sad night with a heartache in each of the four of their hearts, not really a pleasant night.
The night turned bright morning, Jester also opened his eyes to wake up from his sleep in the family room. With mixed feelings, making him reluctant to start activities. Jester pulled back the blanket and was about to sleep until suddenly - the sound of the door knocking was heard, he sighed and had expected it to be like this. Not long after Jester got out of his folding mattress and immediately opened the door of the family room, where Jester saw Naomi who was smiling sweetly looking at him.
"For Jester.I guess you just woke up and just decided to go back to sleep" Naomi jokingly said, Jester smiled slightly as he rubbed his eyes to remove the dirt in his eyes.
"Heeii... Why are you moody again? not like you usually are." asked Naomi in a sad tone to see Jester back moody, with a small laugh Jester responded to Naomi's words.
"Well, this is because I just woke up" replied Jester, suddenly Naomi put both hands on Jester's cheeks and forced him to keep looking at her face.
"look at me~" spoiled Naomi said, Jester was shocked and his face flushed red.
"Yeah! is this Naomi?!!" jester asked in a panic as if they were going to kiss that morning
"smile donk~ is like gini." Naomi replied with a sweet smile looking at Jester, Naomi's smile and spontaneous action when it made Jester laugh. Before long, Jester set his breath and smiled sincerely at Naomi.
"It's so donk~ you it. It looks cool to smile" Naomi said, then brought her forehead closer and coded Jester to kiss her, Jester then kissed Naomi's forehead gently.
"Yuk breakfast!" take Naomi excitedly while pulling Jester's hand, the spirit of Naomi at that time seemed to burn back Jester's spirit in the morning.
Jester slightly ran along Naomi's hand towards the dining room, where Luna and Selena were waiting for Jester and Naomi. Spiced with Naomi and Luna's quarrel, Jester enjoys her breakfast without being distracted in the least. Occasionally Jester laughs at Naomi's taunts on Luna and vice versa, at the same time as usual Selena steals the opportunity to make out with Jester which makes Naomi and Luna drag Selena in their quarrel.
