MY FOSTER SON

Johnathan's Residence

The next days went very well. Jojo buys a new car for himself even though some of the prices of cars use Kalingga money. Keenan and Kylan are also looking for a special person designated as the driver as well as the person responsible for Jojo's safety when they are not around.

Jojo does not want to be labeled as a realistic girl, having a rich husband does not make her want to be pampered and receive all luxury facilities for free.

"This is a brochure for some of the hotels you asked for," Keenan said, giving Jojo some paper brochures. The entire house is enjoying a relaxing week while making grilled fish in the backyard.

"For what?" ask Kalingga.

"I plan to book a hotel for a few days for my father and mother, brother," Jojo replied.

"Why not bring them to this house, dear? There's one empty room."

"It will interfere with your privacy. After all, it's not just you and me who live in this house, brother. I guess the others wouldn't be comfortable if my parents were here for a few days either. Especially Kai and Kylan, they must be depressed because they can't act" Jojo explained.

The cool Kylan and Kai waiting for the fish on the hot charcoal nodded their heads. True what Jojo said, if there were Jojo's parents in this house, they would definitely not be able to act as they please.

"All right then. Just pick which hotel you want, I'll pay for all the money, honey."

"No, I'll pay for it myself, brother," Jojo refused. He already felt he could make a lot of money himself, he did not want to trouble Kalingga for his sake.

After all, Kalingga had already booked two plane tickets and asked people to pick up his two in-laws from home and drive them all the way to the airport. The man had already spent quite a lot of money all this time.

Kalingga's work schedule and Jojo's shoot were so crowded that they couldn't come to pick up. Even so, Jojo's parents did not mind, they were already very happy to come to Jojo graduation with various facilities.

"How's all the preparations going?" ask Kalingga to Keenan.

"Angelina said everything was in order. You just need to come for a prewedding photo shoot" Keenan replied.

Thanks to Jojo's efforts, now Keenan and Angelina are getting closer. Even Angelina helps them to find a wedding planner, the woman also has an important task to provide a special wedding cake at the wedding of Jojo and Kalingga later.

"Okay, the fish is ready!" kylan said as he arranged the cooked grilled fish on the plate.

"Are we just gonna eat it like this?" ask Kai. This was the first time in his life to make grilled fish directly on charcoal. Jojo said if the fish is traditionally burned will produce a different taste of pleasure.

"It's ripe, you can eat it like that but it's better if it's spicy. The more spicy the more delicious," replied Jojo.

"Ah, I'll taste it then." Kylan began peeling the skin of the fish and tasting the meat. Seeing that Kylan was enjoying so much, Keenan and the others ended up impatient and started to pry the flesh from the fish's body.

They each get only one fish, while the rest are taken by Jojo to the kitchen to be seasoned.

"So, you're not gonna ask Mama for her blessing?" asked Keenan when Jojo had walked into the house.

"Not necessary, not important" Kylan interrupted.

Keenan, Kylan and Kai looked at each other. Despite the objections, they will not ban. This is the decision of Kalingga and Jojo, they don't want to interfere too much.

Kalingga and Jojo agree to inform Merlinda of their wedding plans as they approach the wedding day. Jojo has tried hard to establish himself by continuing a career in the entertainment world. He hoped, Merlinda will bless them because now Jojo is no longer a maid.

"We support you, brother. Whatever your decision will be, it won't change anything. You can still be married and happy" Keenan said.

Ten minutes later, Jojo returned and asked them all to come in. Grilled fish lunch with super spicy sambal is ready.

🖤🖤🖤

At seven o'clock in the night, Jojo and Kalingga were ready. Jojo wears a nude evening dress with a touch of pearl on the chest. This is the latest limited edition dress from the Anyelir brand.

Jojo tried to perform optimally in front of Merlinda, hoping his efforts so far will not be in vain.

"Hmm, you're so beautiful" Kalingga praised. He sat in the living room with his three brothers while waiting for Jojo to get ready. And the three of them gasped when they saw the girl's graceful appearance tonight. Although they are getting used to seeing Jojo look glamorous with a variety of luxurious dresses, but Jojo always look beautiful in his way.

"Thank you, dear." Jojo nodded and smiled.

"Good luck!" yelled Kai while giving two thumbs up.

"You can definitely. Let's go quickly" said Keenan.

Jojo and Kalingga go and are escorted by a driver. Despite trying hard to stay calm, in fact Jojo can not hide his nervousness and worries. The girl was still afraid, if their arrival would be in vain.

The distance between Kalingga's house and Johnathan's extended family residence is thirty minutes. The closer Jojo gets, the more fretful. Kalingga felt what the girl beside him was feeling. The man clasped Jojo's hand tightly and tried to calm him down.

"There I am, it's okay." Kalingga stroked Jojo's hair gently.

Their car is now in the yard of a very large house with a classic European style. Kalingga had called Merlinda the day before and said he needed to talk, though he did not say clearly his main goal.

But if Merlinda is sensitive, the middle-aged woman should have been able to guess the purpose of the arrival of her firstborn. Because in recent times, the news of Jojo and Kalingga's relationship was even intensively discussed in various infotainment media.

Before getting out of the car, Jojo took a deep breath and loosened his lungs. He felt his chest full and crowded, but even so, Kalingga strengthened him.

Kalingga pressed the bell beside the door, then someone he knew very well opened it quickly.

Merlinda welcomed Kalingga with a happy face full of smiles. But as a girl shifted from behind Kalingga's back, Merlinda's smile slowly faded.
