I Borrowed Him
The Initial Plan That Works
On a clear Saturday morning in a modest housing estate, some of the residents were seen being active with enthusiasm. Some were plucking the grass, drying clothes, chatting between neighbors, until they saw children playing in the streets. In one house, Luke is seen lifting the barbell on the floor of his rented house, with a fifty-kilo barbell he keeps forcing himself to reach a certain count.
"...ninety-eight.. huh.... ninety-nine... Ser..." not even counting Luke at that time, seen Justin riding a motorcycle parked in front of Luke's house. Seeing the presence of his friend, Luke immediately put down his barbell and wiped the sweat on his body with a small towel that he had since been wrapped around his neck.
"For Luke, how many reps are you today?" justin's greeting sounded happy, Luke responded with a smile full of arrogance.
"A hundred counts with three reps, since the dawn I had raised three hundred times in total" Luke replied full of arrogance while showing off his muscles, Justin laughed at Luke's arrogance.
"If your brain is also running like your muscles" Justin quipped with a hint of laughter
"You came here to get more nervous?!" asked Luke with emotion, they laughed together and Luke invited Justin to come in. Inside the house Justin turned on the game console and played FPS games while waiting for Luke who allowed a shower and breakfast, until a few minutes passed finally Luke was sitting near Justin watching Justin play.
"You can just rush them and make the squad flat" Luke said as he watched Justin's game full of calculations and traps, Justin laughing at Luke's advice.
"I don't have that many bullets to flatten them, but I'll prove to you that they're going to be flat" Justin said, confidently, after a few minutes and Justin proved the word - he said. He managed to win the game with perfect value, it amazed Luke.
"Wow, you play with calculation" Luke said with admiration for the way Justin played.
"Luke.. sometimes we have to be quiet before planning something while paying attention to every condition and change that exists, so every plan we will go according to our wishes" with Justin's satire said, saying, luke knew where Justin was talking and made him laugh.
"What did you get from your meeting with Luna?" asked Luke immediately without further ado, for a moment Justin was silent while looking at the sky - the sky of the house.
"I didn't get anything and I also don't know what plan Luna was doing because she refused to tell me, but I'm sure whatever it was Luna wasn't what you thought she was" justin replied calmly trying to gain Luke's understanding, but Luke responded with a loud voice of laughter.
"Ahaha... You're wrong with my thinking" with Luke's insinuations saying, the insinuations make Justin look at Luke in wonder.
"I never cared about what Luna would do, but what I cared about was that stupid heart" Luke's voice sounded sad as he said it
"What's up with Jester?" justin asked curiously, for a moment Luke seemed to think about arranging words.
"Udah is a general secret that we men are only strong on the outside but fragile on the inside, that's why we - we rarely play with feelings for fear of being destroyed, but Jester is different. He always played with feelings when in love, be it Luna, Camilla and even Naomi. That's why he's heartbroken." replied Luke, the look on his face became very upset when he said it.
"The fool doesn't deserve a woman with a foul heart, but Jester is too innocent to be able to see what's rotten and what's good. So I just wanted to protect him from women like that" Luke said with emotion, Justin just smilingly looking at Luke.
Luke still believes that Luna, Naomi and Selena are as he thinks. It made him insist on keeping Jester away from the three women, it's only natural that Luke did it if he remembers that he was the one who accompanied Jester when he was down to get back up because Luna and Luke knew exactly how destroyed Jester was. Actually, he just wanted to protect his sabahat because he knew very well how Jester if faced with love affairs.
"So you think.... Luna and Naomi are rotten?" justin asked, Luke crashing on the floor to vent his emotions.
"I cannot accept Naomi's attitude that brought Luna to Jester's life!! he had no idea how hard Harry and I were helping Jester to get up and he was willing to bring disease back to Jester's life!!" luke snapped with hateful eyes when he mentioned Luna and Naomi
"If I say you misunderstood Naomi, would you like to hear why?" justin asked calmly, Justin really understands Luke is so explosive when dealing with his best friends.
"There's no misunderstanding!" snapped Luke, Justin sighed to face the stubbornness of Luke.
"Okay, no misunderstanding. But can you explain why Naomi is Jester's girlfriend?" justin asks Luke, hearing the question makes Luke flinch.
"Say you're Luna where papa Jester suddenly came to campus and made a scene, how did you arrange for Naomi to meet with Jester for the first time in the midst of a chaotic situation at that time?" justin asks trying to provoke Luke's logic so he realizes that if he just misunderstood Naomi, Luke looks at Justin with annoyance.
"Hey, you have a point too" Luke's tone began to humbly admit his logical defeat, for a moment they both fell silent.
"What is Naomi's goal in presenting Luna? I can't guess the motive from earlier" asked Luke who was beginning to calm down
"Naomi's goal is a bit difficult to draw conclusions if not her own answer" Justin replied without burden, the answer re-ignited Luke's emotions.
"Where could he possibly confess?!! if all the thieves confess the prison will be full!!" luke's snaps were full of emotion, but Justin laughed in response to Luke's snaps at the time.
"Then that means Naomi will speak honestly to you about her goal, why don't you ask her directly and find out the truth herself" Justin said
"Ooi Luke, real men never beat around the bush. If something is going wrong then a real man will immediately ask the person concerned" Justin continues to pressure Luke so that he asks Naomi directly so that their misunderstanding can be resolved soon. Justin's words upset Luke, but what he said was true was that Luke was ashamed to admit it.
On the other hand, at Jester and Naomi's house after a moment of breakfast filled with drama between Naomi and Luna, Jester finally felt calm in the family room with his solitude. Naomi, Luna and Selena are seen gathering in the room chatting things that are not important, sharing tips on dressing up, discussing the fashion trends ahead, and even more, and other things related to the preparation of Jester's birthday.
Jester who was playing a game on his phone calmly finally interrupted by the sound of the knock on the main door of the house, with a heavy heart Jester stood up from the fall and stepped foot to open the door. After the door opened Jester was shocked by the arrival of Marrie and Naoko who smiled looking at him, Jester was enveloped in panic seeing Naoko's presence. Anyhow with Luna at home will definitely cause misunderstandings.
"For Jester" said Naoko and Marrie together
"Waa... mama? Mammy? Why the morning came to.." not yet finished Jester asked, Marrie's hand immediately pinched Jester's stomach very hard.
"Where is your manners Jess?!!" marrie asked, scolding Jester
"Yaww!! yes, yes, mama!! Good morning mom! duuh..." Jester greeted back with a groan of pain, Naoko laughed at Marrie's treatment of Jester at that time.
"Aaa that... Naomi yes.. she is in the room, so maybe not heard there was a knock on the door..Yeah, that's how mom" Jester stammered answer to Naoko's question, but Jester's answer made Naoko's smile disappear.
"So, he didn't accompany you.." in a voice that sounded a little angry Naoko said it, it made Jester panic and asked himself if he was wrong. No sooner did Naomi come out of the room and immediately ran to the main door of the house after hearing Naoko's voice, when it was near Naomi immediately bowed her body saluting Naoko and Marrie.
"Good morning mother.mama..pardon not welcome well" Naomi's voice implied fear when saying it.
"Naomi... Why isn't it next to Jester? do you have any activity in the room?" naoko asked with pressure, hearing Naoko's changing tone made Jester understand her mistake when answering Naoko's question.
"Sorry mom.., I was.." Naomi said Jester cut it off.
"So Naomi I told her to dress up!! yes. earlier because his face was dull after cooking and bathing, I told him to immediately dress up! right Naomi?!" timpal Jester slightly stammered because of his own panic, Naomi who was still bowing her body slightly turned to look at Jester.
"Aahs.. Eeh. yes mother, it was Jester.." Naomi had not finished talking, Marrie again pinched Jester's stomach.
"YYYYYY!! mama!!" Jester screamed in pain and stroked the stomach of Marrie's former pinch, with a look full of anger Marrie looked at Jester.
"What - what is your request?! dressing up is complicated know, anyways you don't want to take it out?!" snapped Marrie, snapped Marrie made Jester break out in cold sweat from fear.
"It is not a difficult request, we must look beautiful in front of the husband. It is precisely Naomi who does not know herself until it must be told Jester to dress up" argued Naoko with a pressing voice, Marrie was staring at Naoko still look angry.
"But we can't keep going - we have to dress up! that's a selfish request from a man!!" Marrie denied Naoko's words
"I don't know how you behave to William san, but I've instilled my principles in Naomi" Naoko's insinuation says, saying so, Jester and Naomi were confused to hear the quarrel of Marrie and Naoko because of trivial things. As if they were exchangeable children, Naoko is seen defending Jester while Marrie is defending Naomi.
Amidst the debate between Naoko and Marrie, they are worried about the whereabouts of Luna, which their mother may have noticed. In their hearts each wished Luna to remain in the room. They are not ready if they have to explain about Luna, Naoko's anger becomes the scourge they both fear the most. But Jester and Naomi try as much as possible to calm down so that Naoko and Marrie are not suspicious.
"Aaa. mama, mother..should quarrel sep..." unfinished Jester said, Naoko and Marrie looked at Jester with anger.
"Shut up!!" at once Marrie and Naoko said it, Jester's mentality suddenly shrunk.
"Sorry mom.... Come in first, it's not nice if the storm outside like this.." Naomi said sounding scared, hearing Naomi's words at the time made Marrie and Naoko quiet for a while.
"Ehem.yeah, why do we even fight like this" Naoko chanted while fixing her body gesture to look graceful again.
"Duuh~ shy to be reminded Naomi~" said Marrie sounded embarrassed with a little laugh
The two enter the house and immediately go to the family room, where Jester, Marrie, Naoko and Naomi sit on the sofa. With a glass of tea made by Naomi already available on the table, the sudden arrival of Marrie and Naoko at that time gave a big question mark in the head of Jester and Naomi. Not long ago Marrie also gave Naomi and Jester some documents that contain the profile of the wedding planner, surprised Jester and Naomi saw Marrie and Naoko who had prepared their marriage.
"You choose a wedding planner that we have carefully selected it, all the arrangement of the event, and other details they have also described proposal. But we still recommend looking for a wedding planner who also has a collaboration with the wedding organizer so that the preparation is more perfect" said Marrie when he saw Jester and Naomi pensive in surprise
"Why daydream? you guys want to get married even have no spirit at all" said Marrie sounding annoyed at the response of Jester and Naomi
"Well!! why be prepared now?!! it's still eleven months?!!" jester frantically asked, but Jester's panic was responded to by the laughter of Marrie and Naoko.
"Jester, your marriage is ten months away. Time goes on and you don't realize it?" naoko asked, sounding surprised
The many conflicts that Jester and Naomi experience make them unconscious time passes so quickly, until they do not realize their marriage time is only ten months left. Not yet had time to think about the relationship that had just been established beautifully, the presence of Luna between the two increasingly makes Jester and Naomi did not have time to discuss their wedding plans.
"Why? you guys don't want to get married soon?" marrie asked in a tone that sounded suspicious of them, Marrie's voice at that time made Jester and Naomi panic.
"No! not that, this is a conversation that is embarrassing!" jester's reply still sounded panicked, Naoko and Marrie were the same - just frowned them because they were surprised by Jester's answer.
"Thy? why shame?" ask Naoko
"Aaa. anu... aa duh how? only I still did not expect... will soon be married. with Naomi.." jester said, his face was reddened when he said it. Jester's answer when it made Naomi turn her eyes to look at Jester with a surprised face, not feeling her face was red.
"I... willing to be your wife.if you don't mind all my shortcomings." Naomi who also stammered when saying it, said, Jester and Naomi stare at each other in shame - a shame that makes Marrie and Naoko feel amused themselves.
"Based on young blood! don't make us envious, we also want to be young again and feel in love!!" marrie snapped, Marrie's words made Naoko laugh.
"Marrie, how about we get going?" ask Naoko
Naomi's attitude to Jester and Jester's response to Naomi leads Naoko and Marrie to believe their matchmaking plan is working. They believe the contract relationship between the two children ends and becomes a real courtship relationship, it makes Naoko and Marrie more eager to prepare for the wedding plans of their two children.
"Where?" Jester chimed in with questions, and Marrie smiled at Jester.
"Make your wedding rings, Ayoo we'll go!!" marrie excitedly stood up, but suddenly Luke and Harry appeared to enter the family room. With a surprised face Luke and Harry immediately greeted Marrie.
"Good morning, Miss Marrie!" luke and Harry to Marrie.
