MY FOSTER SON

The Arrival of the Prospective Son-in-law

The luxury car that walked into the small village after meandering through the mountains and rice fields, made everyone who saw felt curious and interested to find out who the passengers were.

Jojo is so excited, he can't wait to see the reaction of his parents when he finds out their love child has come home.

After arriving at the hometown of Jojo's birthplace, they were greeted by neighbors and relatives who were located nearby.

Every pair of eyes that saw the car stopped at a medium-sized house with a lot of herbs on the front porch, flocking closer. They have all seen and heard that one of the children who is wandering for school is now a famous model and artist.

"Jojo! It's Jojo!" one of the neighbors shouted as he saw a girl in a pink floral dress coming down from one of the car doors.

They were all even more shocked when a man also came down and stood beside Jojo. The handsome man in a maroon red shirt with a dazzling smile was holding Jojo's hand into the courtyard of the house.

"Who is he? Who's she?" Everyone whispered in curiosity.

Hearing the sound of the car stopping and the crowd in front of the house, Jojo's parents came out and saw who was coming. They cried and could barely walk when they saw her daughter standing before them.

"Son," said Jojo's mother while widening both hands to welcome the princess's embrace.

Jojo's father was not able to speak, he cried and hugged his wife and child. The haru atmosphere and cries of happiness were contagious to everyone who saw.

The neighbors also understood that Jojo had not returned home long enough. They all knew that the girl was struggling off the island to get an education and work to help her father's medicine.

While Jojo and his parents shed each other's longing, Kalingga was busy answering the questions of those who were interested in him. Not infrequently mothers and grandmothers who come to express praise blatantly to pinch Kalingga's cheeks with anxiety.

Kalingga responded to everyone politely and kindly. He did not hesitate to kiss the hands of the parents who approached him.

When Jojo's parents realize that their son has come to bring a special man, they approach Kalinga immediately.

Kalingga bowed and kissed Mom and Dad Jojo's hands respectfully. Both of Jojo's parents stared at his son, and Jojo gestured that their guest was the special man he had told them about.

Not only that, Kalingga also asked the driver to remove all the luggage in the trunk of the car. He bought quite a lot of souvenirs and souvenirs to share with his neighbors and relatives. Kalingga also brought special gifts for his two future in-laws.

Everyone was grateful after Jojo and Kalingga distributed some souvenirs for all of them.

"Why bother, son?" ask Jojo's mother. He saw so much stuff being shared.

"It's okay, Mom. Once in a while, this was all Kak Kalingga's giving" Jojo replied. Because it was true, all the items they brought were items purchased specifically by Kalingga.

Jojo's father hugged Kalingga, thanking him for the man's kindness. They never thought, if after a long time did not come home, Jojo came home with a prospective new family member.

"My daughter-in-law's candidate is very handsome" praised Ms. Jojo as she stroked Kalingga's shoulder. The praised man nodded politely and smiled shyly.

"Thank you, ma'am" replied Kalingga.

Jojo nudged the man's arm and invited him into the house. Luckily, the home renovation process was completed two weeks ago so Jojo is not ashamed of the condition of their previous home. All this, thanks to Jojo's efforts and hard work to make money and lift the economy of his family.

"How should I call them?" batin Kalingga asked. He wanted to chat, but was confused when he wanted to call his two future in-laws.

"Is she Mom's daughter-in-law, son?" ask Jojo's mother to her daughter.

"Jojo told me everything. Hope your relationship goes well and well. Thank you for taking care of Jojo all this time" said Jojo's father.

Carefully, Kalingga finally expressed his intention and goal to come all the way to this village, which is to formalize his relationship with Jojo. And Kalingga asked for the blessing of both.

Both of Jojo's parents smiled happily. They throw a glance at the girl, and when they see Jojo's face meet red with a shy smile, both Jojo's parents understand, if they really love each other.

"Son, all the decisions are in Jojo's hands. We know you love each other. We bless you, may happiness continue to accompany every step of you later," said Jojo's father.

Kalingga was very happy, he thanked her and kissed the hands of his two future in-laws. Likewise with Jojo, the girl could not hide her happy feelings.

Kalingga also expressed his intention to hold a wedding after Jojo's graduation day. At that time Jojo's parents will be in town, and Kalingga plans to have a wedding in the village as well.

As a parent, Jojo's father and mother just wanted their son to be happy. They support whatever Jojo and Kalingga want, as long as it is good for both.

They talk about a lot of things. Both of Jojo's parents were very friendly and received well the presence of Kalingga. Even the two did not awkwardly praise how good Kalingga and the kindness of the man. During this time, they heard a lot about Kalingga from Jojo. It is very clear, that the only child of the puppet is so in love with Kalingga.

"Son, please rest. This is Jojo's room" Jojo's mother told Kalingga. He shows Jojo's room and lets his future son-in-law rest. The long and time-consuming journey definitely makes Kalingga tired.

"Jojo can rest in Mom's room. Before being a husband and wife, it is not good to sleep in the same room" said Jojo's father.

Jojo blinked a flirtatious eye at Kalingga, letting the man in and plopping down after quite a while sitting on the trip.

Kalingga goes into Jojo's room. The man put down his suitcase and lay down on a medium-sized mattress. He saw a lot of photos of Jojo on the wall. Even some photos show the action of a girl practicing martial arts and carrying a victory trophy on the podium. The man was more amazed, it turns out there are still many things that he did not know about his heart.

Kalingga grabbed a photo that was on the table near the bed. A photo of a little girl with hair in a pigtail two about five years old with a boy friend of her age sitting in a chair and in school uniform. It looks like it was a photo of Jojo graduating from kindergarten school.

"Ah, she's cute" muttered Kalingga.

While in another room, Jojo's mother was talking heart to heart with her daughter. After a long time of not meeting, they could not be far apart even if it was only a few minutes.

"Mom, he's handsome, isn't he?" jojo asked while laying his head on his mother's lap.

"Very handsome. Surely all our neighbors would be jealous if Mom had a daughter-in-law as handsome as her," replied Jojo's mother.

The forty-seven-year-old woman named Asri gently stroked Jojo's hair. He did not expect that Jojo would come home, but his daughter said if she could only go home a few more months before graduation.

"But, Son. She must be from a rich family, did her family also take you on well?" ask Asri worried.

"Before we were in a relationship, I worked at her house as a domestic assistant and took care of her and her three brothers, Mom. They were all like family to me, I was treated very well" Jojo explained.

"What about his parents? Do they accept you too? We don't come from rich families like them."

His mother's question made Jojo swallow and shut up. It seems he has not been able to give an answer.
