MY FOSTER SON

Worried Feelings

Kylan looked up when suddenly Olivia said what he thought was inappropriate when Jojo was in front of them.

"Your question is very rude" said Kylan.

"I'm just asking. After all, a maid is a maid, she's just a maid. You should be able to eat in the kitchen there, or eat after the host is done" Olivia said.

"Sister, you better watch your talk" Kai interrupted.

"Enough, don't argue!" exclaim Kalingga. He beckoned everyone to take food, including Jojo.

The girl lost her appetite after hearing Olivia's words. What Olivia said is true. He is only a maid in this house and should not eat at a table with the host. But Jojo feels indifferent, in this house the boss is his children, not Olivia.

"What food is this?" ask Olivia. He carried the rice on the plate and watched the side dishes on the table. Kai who had grasped the thigh of fried chicken in hand then put it back down. The boy intends to answer, but Jojo precedes him.

"Fried chicken, fried vermicelli, vegetable soup, there is also sambal and bakwan. Other names, dinner!" exclaimed Jojo explained with great emphasis.

Kai and Kylan who heard Jojo give an explanation with such courage smiled slightly. They were quite amazed by the courage Jojo spoke in front of Olivia even though the woman did not want her presence.

"You can go if you don't have a taste for food" Kalingga said. The man was quite bothered by Olivia's over-the-top attitude.

"Not so, Kalingga. I'm just asking. Why are you so sensitive" lamented Olivia.

None of Jojo's children responded to Olivia's remarks. They continued eating and finished the entire plate.

Although Jojo cooks a simple menu more often, his children never protested. During this time, he never saw his children lose their appetite because of the menu that is not suitable.

"Add more, Kai. I still have a side dish in the back for Keenan's brother" said Jojo as Kai looked agitated. He still wants fried chicken left one fruit.

"Well, that's great" said Kai. He quickly took the fried chicken wings and bit them.

Dinner ended peacefully, although it was started with a less pleasant attitude Olivia. Kai and Kylan leave first and enter their room, while Kalingga escorts Olivia to the front of the house.

"May I visit next time?" ask Olivia before she leaves. Kalingga just nodded and waved his hand. There was something he was trying to guard in front of Olivia. Because the woman's parents were the ones who had helped her when her family's inheritance company went bankrupt.

After Olivia's departure, Kalingga returned to the kitchen and sat in the dining chair. He notices Jojo who is busy cleaning up the leftovers and washing the dishes.

"Sister, do you need anything?" ask Jojo.

"No, Jo. I just want to ask you something" replied Kalingga. Jojo briefly restrains the man while he finishes his work. When he finished, Jojo made a glass of milk and placed it in front of Kalingga.

"Ask what? it seems important" said Jojo. Kalingga smiled and sipped Jojo's warm milk.

"You can answer me honestly? I know my sisters couldn't have done it" Kalingga said. The man's words make Jojo sculpt. What did he do until Kalingga spoke like this?

"Good, Brother. I'll answer honestly."

"You told my mom I was sick?" ask Kalingga. He looked at Jojo carefully, watching the girl's movements that looked agitated. "I'm not angry" Kalingga continued.

"Why did you do it, Jo? How do I explain it so you understand how I and my sisters feel about our mother" Kalingga said.

Jojo who initially lowered his head, then looked up. He stared at Kalingga's sharp bead of eyes.

"After all, Mrs Merlinda is your parent. She was very worried about her children. As a parent, there is no need to say dear many times to prove he is dear. But, madam Merlinda really wants all her children to be healthy and happy" Jojo explained.

"Are you working here to be a spy?" ask Kalingga.

"Sister, I beg you. Don't corner me, I work sincerely to take care of you and take care of this house. Please don't think badly of me. I don't know for sure what reason you guys hate Madame Merlinda. But he loves you, he loves you. I'm sure of that" said Jojo.

"Tell me what you need to say about us, but don't ever get your mom involved too far" Kalingga said. The man gulped down the milk in a glass and hurried to leave the dining table.

Jojo bowed limp. He was really troubled by feelings of worry. As a caregiver, Jojo is certainly responsible for the condition of the house as well as his children. He did not know what to do as a mediator between these families.

Jojo understands that her foster children hate Merlinda even though she is the one who gave birth to them. But on the other hand, Jojo is trying to understand Merlinda's feelings. He loves his children so much. Merlinda was very curious about the condition of Kalingga as well as her sisters through Jojo, because to ask her children directly, Merlinda felt doubtful. She was sure that none of her children wanted her presence.

After sitting alone for a long time, Jojo went into the room. He's been having a really tough day lately.

Just lying on the bed, again someone knocked on the door of his room. This time it was Kai. The boy asks Jojo to let him in.

"Not polite!" exclaim Jojo. Kai walked back and forth in Jojo's room while putting one hand rubbing his long hair.

"What is this about you?" ask Jojo. It's been over five minutes Kai just paced back and forth and sighed violently. The boy looked confused and agitated.

"Have you read the letter I gave you?" ask Kai. Jojo nodded.

"I beg you, think of something and help me. Please!" yang Kai pleaded. "If no one comes to my school tomorrow, then my homeroom teacher will come to this house" he continued.

"Easy, tell your brothers. Choose one of them, Brother Keenan for example. I think he'll understand your condition" said Jojo.

"Involving one of my sisters is like committing suicide. Give me another way," Kai refused.

Jojo was silent, he was weaving his lips while sitting on the edge of the mattress. He supported his chin with two palms. His eyes continued to follow Kai who was walking around his room.

"What if you had someone else pretend to be your sister. Solve problems without causing problems. As long as you have money, it's easy" Jojo said.

Kai snapped his finger. He smiled happily.

"Good idea, Jo!" exclaim Kai pleased. "I know who can help me at no cost" he continued.

"Who?" ask Jojo. He was glad his idea could help.

"You!" Kai pointed his index finger in front of Jojo's face.
