I Borrowed Him : Diary Luna
season 3: episode 24

The morning was so bright, the sun felt so stinging and penetrated the long-sleeved dress I was wearing that day. The sunlight also penetrated my scalp which I had covered with the bandana that adorned my hair, sweat began to pour out very heavily as my brother and I lined up to buy tickets to the festival square.

When it was my turn, I immediately told the clerk that I wanted a pass so I could ride all the rides in this place. Not long after the officer gave me two ticket bracelets, I immediately reached into my sling bag to pay for the ticket but at the same time Jester's brother's hand put some money on the counter table. Not long before Jester's brother took the two ticket bracelets and turned to look at me with his flat face, he gave a gesture so that I immediately stuck my hand towards him.

I slowly extended my right hand with eyes that kept staring at Jester's flat face, while Jester put the bracelet ticket on my wrist. I really did not expect him to do such a sweet thing in the middle of what had happened between me and him, I was pensive to look at him with a happy feeling.

But pensively I did not make Jester's sister respond anything, after putting the ticket bracelet on my wrist he immediately shifted his eyes to put his ticket bracelet on his own wrist. Still without saying anything arrived - suddenly Brother Jester walked into the gate leaving me who was still blushed and also very happy, it was, jester's gentle demeanor never changes even though Jester's brother still holds a burst of anger - explosive to me.

I immediately ran to catch up with Jester's brother entering the festival square gate, to be honest at that time my footsteps felt so light. Maybe I was very happy, or maybe because I didn't have more time. I felt a lot of dizziness, but I tried to keep ignoring the pain as much as I could because this was not the first time I had done it in my life.

With the pass ticket that my brother and I Jester played all the rides that were there together - the same, brother Jester also really - really played his role well as we promised. She looked happy as I looked at her face both before and after riding one ride at a time, but it only happened when I looked at her face. When my gaze was distracted, I felt very strongly that Brother Jester wanted to immediately end the moment alone with me at this time.

I know very well why Jester played his part so well, no more because of his curiosity about what had happened between me, him, and him, and also the attitude of Selena who imitated me so well. But I try not to care about that, even though I often want to ask her 'do you want to go home?'. But if I were to say it, this moment would really end right then and there, right?

Let me be selfish one last time.I'm sorry, Brother Jester...

It did not feel like the day changed twilight, like the promise that was approved by Jester at that time me and he also walked together to the labyrinth garden in the festival square area. When we arrived at one of the entrances to the labyrinth garden, the face of Mr. Jester also looked more heavy-hearted. I feel very well if actually Brother Jester does not want me and he went inside and met in the middle garden of the labyrinth, it was, but when I realized I was looking at him at that moment, Brother Jester immediately smiled at me.

We decided to split up at the west door, Jester said he would look for another door to enter. I said I hope we meet in the middle garden, but Brother Jester just returned my words with a smile and walked away leaving me there.

I sighed at the same time as these eyes were unable to see the back of Brother Jester in the middle of people - people who look past, tares, then I set my feet to enter the labyrinth garden along with several others. I am sure among these people there must be someone who wants to try to prove the myth, however, that is the attraction of the labyrinth park that is so legendary in the city.

I was pessimistic to be able to meet with Jester in the middle garden, if I did not expect and ignore the myth but this time everything is different. Now I hope to meet him even though I am no longer a match for Jester, with everything that has happened..How can this labyrinth still bring me to him, yakan?

But. destiny is a funny thing...

Along the way I was just daydreaming until I didn't realize since when I was living alone at that time, I saw a path that said 'South Door'. "I.. until the middle garden?" I ask in my heart, I also hope that in front of there I can see Brother Jester is waiting for me. I ran a little so that I could immediately see a fountain with a chair decorated with a bouquet of flowers in the form of a symbol of love next to it, I also hoped that there was Brother Jester near the fountain.

How happy I am when these eyes stare at the back of a man I know so well, yes. So steadfast, fieldy and authoritative as it may seem, a back that manages to knock down my pessimistic wall if a sick person like me will feel love at the end of his age.

My body vibrates...

My lips cannot be controlled by saying "I want to accompany you as much as I can, anyone who will be your companion later..."

I walked slowly closer to him, when I felt my voice would come up and be heard by him...

"The myth is that whoever reaches the middle garden of the festival square labyrinth at dusk and waits here until the bell rings without any interference from anyone, then they will mate" I said to greet him, brother Jester also twisted his body to look at me who was right behind him.

"Baseless mythos, I never believed in myths" she said cynically, smiling with a slight chuckle.

Now we stand close enough and face to face with him, my smile is not reciprocated, brother Jester, but what else do I want to expect? it would be too greedy if I still wished for Brother Jester to be sweet with me, this would be enough for me. Not long brother Jester laughed as if amused about something, I was confused made.

"Hey... hey. How many times has Jester's brother come to this place?" I asked him to try to fish for what he was really thinking.

"Counting the same today, I've already twice reached this garden" he replied with a hint of accompanying laughter

I was quite surprised by his reply, "Two times including today? but from Selena's story, she says that Jester and Naomi have met here and that is the beginning of the breakdown of friendship between Naomi and Selena. Did Brother Jester forget to have met me before?" I asked in my heart, but I didn't want to get carried away by the sad atmosphere of Jester's reply. I responded with a laugh, and I told him...

"No. no. You miscalculated sis" I still chimed in with a slight sound of laughter, at once the laughter of Mr. Jester disappeared and his facial expression looked confused.

"What do you mean?" asked Brother Jester in a tone of astonishment, his forehead shriveled as if he was trying to recall.

"If you count now, then you've been here three times in total, on our first date, when you met Naomi surprisingly according to Selena's story, and today you meet me again" I replied, smiling at him.

At that instant Brother Jester was surprised to hear my answer, his facial expression seemed to be in disbelief with what I had just told him. I felt like if Jester kept trying to remember the events of our first date, his eyes flicked as if he was opening one by one a memory drawer in his head to refute my answer.
