MY FOSTER SON

Watch Clock

Jojo glared at Kylan's question. That man must have been prejudiced by her.

"Don't think bad!" exclaim Jojo.

"Normal is my mind. A girl accompanied an adult male all night, what would happen?" ask Kylan.

"Kylan! I'm not the girl you have in mind" said Jojo.

"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about my brother, what if you do ...."

"Hey, stop fighting!" sela Kai before Kylan continues his sentence. Kylan and Jojo were silent.

"Jojo will keep brother until twelve p.m. After that I'll replace him" Kai continued.

"I'll replace Jojo, Kai. Tomorrow you have to get up early and go to school" Kylan said. He disagrees if Kai sacrificed his sleep to take care of Kalingga. After all, the boy had to get up early for school. While Kylan as an older brother, would definitely try to relent.

"Don't scramble, you can keep it together!" exclaim Jojo. The girl became mediator and made a peaceful atmosphere again created.

Jojo leaves Kylan and Kai who are still at the dinner table peeling fresh fruit. The two chatted things about Kai's school activities lately.

Jojo waited for Kalingga in his room. The man wiped his face with a tissue because he was sweating.

"His fever has gone down, thank God" Jojo murmured. He dragged a single sofa near Kalingga's bed and watched the sleeping man.

Towards two months of living in this house, Jojo increasingly admired his foster children. They are all used to living independently, taking care of themselves and taking responsibility with their respective jobs.

Jojo admires the assertiveness and discipline that Kalingga teaches his younger siblings. Given that they do not live with their parents, Jojo believes that Kalingga must be trying very hard so that his sisters can live independently.

Jojo rubbed Kalingga's forehead with a tissue. He touched the wrist that was stuck with an infusion needle to see his condition. Because Kalingga was so afraid of needles, he became very careful when moving his hands. But that way, the incoming infusion fluid becomes smooth and the wrist does not experience swelling.

Recalling Kalingga's behavior while refusing to be injected, Jojo smiled faintly. The twenty-seven-year-old man with a cool face was completely unexpected.

A few hours passed, Jojo accidentally fell asleep. He threw his head beside Kalingga's hand. He fell asleep holding some tissue.

Kalingga woke up feeling thirsty. He looked around and saw Jojo sleeping. The girl looked very tired from taking care of her all day.

The man moved slowly so as not to wake Jojo up. He took the water on the table near his bed. After refreshing his throat, Kalingga got off the mattress slowly, he carried the infusion in his left hand and took the blanket in the closet.

Seeing Jojo asleep, he could not bear to wake the girl. However, due to being unwell, he is unlikely to move Jojo's sleeping position. Kalingga covers Jojo's body and goes back to sleep.

From the outside, Keenan stood at Kalingga's doorstep. He peeked at the dim atmosphere of the room. While downstairs, he is told by Kai that Jojo is waiting for a sick Kalingga.

Keenan opened the door slowly, seeing his brother put up a blanket for Jojo.

"Sir, what's wrong?" ask Keenan.

"Ah, you happened to come. Please move Jojo, he's sleeping here" Kalingga said. Keenan let out a long breath.

"Do I have to carry it? just wake him up," Keenan refused.

"He's been looking after me all day, pity him."

"Yahoo!!!" jojo's shout made Keenan surprised to release the girl's body suddenly. Jojo fell on the floor violently and complained of his back hurting.

"Aw, it hurts so much. Why did you let go of me all of a sudden, brother? and what are you doing?" ask Jojo.

"You surprised me!" exciting Keenan. "I intend to move you to the sofa, Brother told me to" Keenan continued. He helped Jojo get up.

"But not by slamming my body" complained Jojo again.

"Sorry," muttered Keenan. Kalingga who had been lying back in bed just smiled at the behavior of Jojo and Keenan.

Jojo sat on the sofa, stretching his stiff muscles. Just sleeping for an hour makes his body more sick, what else he slept in a sleeping position and fell because of Keenan.

Jojo sees Kalingga in bed. The man looks better.

"Sister, how are you?" ask Jojo. The girl approached, placed her palm on Kalingga's forehead and felt the man's body temperature.

"It looks like the medicine is reacting well," Kalingga replied.

"Ah, thank goodness. Why not go to the hospital?" ask Keenan. "You should've called me, Jo!" continued.

"I don't want to bother you, brother. Anyway, I called Mr. Lin, and he brought a doctor" Jojo replied.

Keenan breathed out softly. His busy life as an actor and model is very time consuming with family. During his career, Kalingga supported him and even did many things so that he could become what he is today.

Kalingga is a surrogate parent figure since the death of their father and the departure of Merlinda. The man will do everything possible to make his brothers happy.

"Good, Jo. You can go back to your room and rest. I'll take care of my brother" Keenan said.

"No, Brother. You've just come home, I'll take care of brother until midnight, and Kai will take my place" Jojo said.

"You can rest, I'll be fine" said Kalingga to mediate. He knew Jojo was tired from taking care of him all day, and he also could not bear if Keenan had to take care of him. His sister was already too busy on set, even Kalingga knew that Keenan even often missed his lunch hour because it was too busy.

"But, Brother!" Keenan and Jojo spoke together, then they looked at each other.

Kalingga continues to reassure Jojo and Keenan that he will be fine even if no one is looking after him. Jojo and Keenan are forced to leave Kalingga's room.

"You've eaten, brother?" jojo asked shortly before Keenan entered his room.

"Oh, but I'm still hungry. I'll make instant noodles after the shower" Keenan replied.

"Ah, yes it is." Jojo staggered down the stairs. He saw Kai walking down the stairs past him.

"Hey, your watch isn't finished yet" said Kai.

"Son Kalingga told me to come out. Just make sure the infusion fluid is still running smoothly, tell me before it runs out completely," said Jojo. He continued his footsteps into the kitchen.
