MY FOSTER SON

Kalingga

From behind the door that opened just a few centimeters, Kai vaguely saw Jojo bending in front of Kalingga and unbuttoning the shirt that the man was wearing.

Kai's thoughts are filled with prejudices that make him unable to bear to not find out what Jojo is doing with his brother.

"Jajo!" yelled Kai by pushing the door rough. As the look in his eyes caught Kalingga's figure with a pale face and sweaty body, Kai was surprised.

"Have you just come home, Kai?" ask Jojo. "What a coincidence, help me take off my sister's shirt" Jojo said.

Because Kalingga's right hand was attached to an infusion hose, making it difficult for the man to change clothes. While his fever had still not dropped and sweat flooded his body, Jojo took the initiative to replace it so that the man felt comfortable.

"Why not go to the hospital?" ask Kai.

"Sister refused," replied Jojo. Kai let out a long sigh, he regretted having thought badly. Fortunately, he did not break the door to his sister's room.

Kai helps Jojo remove Kalingga's shirt and re-dress clean for her brother.

"Do Keenan and Kylan's brother know?" ask Kai. Jojo shakes.

"I'll call them" Kai continued.

"Kai, let your brothers work quietly." Kalingga prevented his sister.

Jojo asks Kai to change his uniform and take a shower. The boy had to take turns looking after Kalingga because Jojo had to clean the house and cook for their dinner.

As Jojo exits the room, Kalingga asks Kai to help Jojo. Kalingga said that since morning Jojo did not leave his room, the girl even missed lunch to take care of him.

Kalingga lay in the room alone. It was usual for him to take care of himself when he was sick. Because Kalingga does not want to make his sisters worry and hassles.

Keenan's work as an actor and model had taken too much time off for the man, Kalingga did not want to be his burden. Meanwhile, Kylan, now increasingly busy with his hobby that turned into a permanent job.

Downstairs, Jojo is busy cleaning the entire floor surface with a cleaner. He was busy with the mop in hand.

"You can cook for us, I'll mop the floor" Kai said to Jojo.

"You? mopping floors?" ask Jojo back. No rain no wind, suddenly Kai offers a favor.

"Why? you don't believe I can do it?" ask Kai ketus. He takes the hilt of the mop in Jojo's hand.

"Well, thank you for helping, Kai," said Jojo with a smile. As he stepped away from Kai, the boy called back to him.

"Hey, Jojo. Thank you for taking good care of Kalingga" he said sincerely. Jojo just nodded and smiled.

Since first living in this house, Jojo has never seen Kai speak a sincere sentence to her. Thanks to Jojo's patience and sincerity, Kai can gradually change his assessment of Jojo.

Later that night, Jojo takes dinner to Kalingga's room. He cooked meat soup for everyone.

"Sister, let's eat. After this, I will refine the medicine for you" said Jojo. He sat down on the side of the bed and intended to feed Kalingga.

"I can eat alone, Jo."

"really? your right hand will hurt if you move too much" Jojo said. Kalingga looked at his hand, the infusion needle still stuck there. The man was horrified whenever he saw the needle perched and stuck continuously on his body.

By force, Kalingga accepts Jojo's offer to feed him. The man greatly admired Jojo's sincerity in taking care of himself and his younger siblings. Even if Kai was being indifferent and annoying, he never heard Jojo complain about his sister's behavior.

"Yet, Kai will eat after you finish your meal, brother. He's worried about you" said Jojo.

"Have you not eaten yet?" ask Kalingga again.

"I'll eat with Kai after this. Don't worry about us" replied Jojo.

Kalingga fell silent, he chewed on every meal that Jono had thrust out for him. Although his tongue was bitter and ***** his meal was bad, Kalingga still tried to finish the meal. He did not want to burden Jojo with his condition.

"Jo, I'm sorry if Kai's been so bad to you. I know Kai lacks affection. I have been taking care of her myself since she was ten years old. I hope you understand his childish nature" said Kalingga.

"I'm fine, brother. Whatever family problems you are facing, hopefully everything will improve soon" said Jojo.

"thank you. Your existence helps me a lot." Kalingga smiled sincerely. So long in this house, Kalingga also seems to start melting, he is not as cold as Jojo's early entry into his family life.

After Kalingga finished his meal, Jojo decided to prepare dinner for Kai and Kylan. Just as he was about to exit the room, Kylan had already arrived suddenly at the door.

"Sister, is this as bad as you are?" kylan asked Kalingga.

"It's better. Don't worry" answered Kylan.

"Why not go to the hospital?" ask Kylan.

"Hey, didn't you know that Kalingga's brother was afraid of needles?" ask Jojo.

"Jovanka!" exclaim Kalingga.

"Ah, right. Kylan doesn't know!" jojo muttered while scratching his head.

"Change and shower quickly, I'll prepare a meal for you" Jojo told Kylan. He rushed out of the room.

Everyone in this house lives independently, maybe that is one of the reasons why everything sometimes seems to not understand each other.

Jojo felt like a lucky boy. Despite being born into a modest, mediocre family, he received the full affection of both complete parents.

After preparing dinner, Jojo asks Kai to follow Kylan to his room. Tonight they only ate three because Keenan also still hasn't come home from the set. The man will be busy the last few days to finish the big screen movie that will be shown in theaters soon.

The three of them ate in silence, it seemed like Kylan and Kai also appeared to be sad because of Kalingga's condition.

"You think, how's brother? do we have to force him to go to the hospital?" ask Kylan.

"The doctor said that Kalingga's blood pressure was low. He had too much thought and too little rest. I think lately my brother has come home late" replied Jojo.

"Is there a problem?" ask Kai.

"Eitherway. Tomorrow I'll go to my sister's office, while I have to take care of the company while you're sick" Kylan replied. After the three finished eating, Jojo cleaned the table.

"You can rest. Tonight I will take care of my brother" Jojo told Kylan.

"You're gonna sleep in Kak Kalingga's room all night?" ask Kylan. Eyes squinting.
