Jojo's parents asked him several times about the girl, did he have a girlfriend? Or still enjoy living alone.
Jojo never answered in detail, the girl always said if she was close to a man, but still promised to take care of herself.
"How far is my future-in-law's house?" ask Kalingga. He already has a lot of plans that Jojo doesn't know about. Married that girl faster.
"We're on a different island, brother. I usually take the train home for twelve hours, take the three-hour bus ride, then take the taxi. My house is in the countryside which is a good distance from the city area, access to large vehicles is still difficult to enter" explained Jojo.
"Hmm, I want to know. Can I have the full address?" ask Kalingga.
Jojo smiled, the girl happily made a text message in her phone and sent it to Kalingga's number. The man thanked her and hugged Jojo for a few seconds because Kylan's voice was heard from the end of the stairs.
"Hmm, I'm so hungry." Kylan patted his stomach and occupied his seat.
"By the way, where's my car?" ask Keenan. The man walked over while tidying up his coat.
"Still in the cafe last night" replied Kalingga.
"Ah, I have to go to the studio in the morning. And I'll be late" Keenan lamented as he placed his body on the chair violently.
"I'm not going anywhere. Just use my car, brother," Kylan interrupted.
"Good! I'm gonna have people take my car and drive it home."
Jojo just watched them chatting, the girl focused on eating and ignored Kalingga's repeatedly teasing feet under the table.
"Are you off today, Kylan?" ask Jojo.
"Yes, I'm not excited to do anything. I need a break" he replied.
"That's great. Hard work is necessary, but rest is necessary. Don't push yourself too much" said Jojo happily.
Amongst everyone, Kylan had indeed most rarely enjoyed his day off. Even on Sundays, the man still had to work and could only sit at home once a month.
"I'll arrange a one-week leave. Looks like we're going to visit Jojo's parents" Kalingga said.
Keenan and Kylan paused his intention to put food in their mouths. They frowned curiously.
"Jojo is going home? Why so suddenly?" ask Kylan.
"Sister, we haven't talked about anything." Jojo was no less surprised, why Kalingga made the decision so quickly.
"Ah, you seem to be impatient. Okay, go. I'll take care of the company while you're gone" Keenan said calmly.
If Kalingga leaves, then Keenan must also give up his job and reschedule all his activities in order to replace Kalingga and take care of the company.
Jojo glanced at Kalingga with narrowed eyes. The girl felt that Kalingga really could not hold back anymore.
After breakfast, Jojo cleaned the dinner table and washed the dishes. While Kalingga and his two younger siblings are still talking about a leave plan so that Keenan can also prepare for the resignation of all his activities.
"By the way, why do you look so hasty, brother? Have you two already ...." Kylan whispered while leaning towards Kalingga.
What was it that Kylan had in mind? Maybe he had such prejudice against Jojo and his eldest brother.
"We'll talk about it next time. Where's your car key?" ask Keenan to Kylan.
Kylan moved his chin and gestured at Keenan. The man was used to putting things in random places, including car keys that were often lying under a desk even on top of a refrigerator.
"Ah, I'll continue to sleep for a few hours. Please continue your romance story," Kylan said goodbye to Jojo and Kalingga.
After everyone's departure, Kalingga still sat quietly and waited for Jojo to finish his work. After that, he would drag the girl into his room to accompany her to prepare.
"After the announcement of your scripture hearing, we'll visit your parents, dear," Kalingga said as Jojo put up a tie for him.
"Is this not too fast?" ask Jojo.
Suddenly, Kalingga pushed the girl's body until she hit the wall. Again Kalingga squeezed him and did not let the girl move.
Jojo held his breath, feeling the air around him begin to diminish and the oxygen become polluted.
"We will meet every day, every minute and every second. When that happens, I always hold back. I'm gonna have a hard time because every time I see you, I fall in love."
"Ah, yes, yes. I get it, Brother." Jojo smiled wryly. He raised his hand and bit by bit pushed Kalingga's body.
"We're not waiting for anything. I love you, I want to have you completely" Kalingga murmured. He let Jojo tidy up his tie again while taking a deep breath.
How could he hold back any longer if they were always together, meeting every day. And Kalingga knows, there must be a lot of people out there who like Jojo. The man just wanted to immediately give an announcement that Jojo was just his.
After Kalingga finished preparing, the man asked Jojo to remain in his room, while he would leave without being interdicted.
"You can sleep in my room, honey. Let's just say it's a rehearsal, because I'm going to move all your stuff here right away" Kalingga said before leaving.
Jojo closed his eyes while sitting limp on the edge of the bed. He heard the sound of Kalingga's footsteps coming down the stairs along with a sweet whistle from the man's lips.
"I'm going to go crazy" said Jojo.
Seeing how Kalingga's desire is so passionate, Jojo does not question the blessing of his parents. Because Jojo's father and mother were parents who gave the right to vote for his son's future in full. After all, it was true what Kalingga said, they would not be able to refuse a daughter-in-law as handsome as Kalingga.
But what makes Jojo restless and anxious is Merlinda. It would not be easy to reach for the middle-aged woman's blessing. The warnings and insults still cling strongly to Jojo's memory, leaving the girl sitting limp and deep in thought.
A few minutes later, Jojo felt the phone in his shorts pocket vibrate. He saw a message coming.
"I love you, Honey."
The girl smiled faintly, no more than ten minutes since the man left, she had even missed him. Jojo was curious, what virus Kylan had transmitted to make Kalingga more unexpected.
Feeling no job and unemployed. Jojo decides to meet Kylan in his room.
