MY FOSTER SON

Drama in the Morning

Jojo is shocked when he realizes that Kylan has heard his confession. The man smiled mockingly and sat down next to Jojo.

"Hey, stop laughing at me!" exclaim Jojo. He pouted, feeling embarrassed and annoyed that Kylan was mocking him.

"So, you want to be a model?" ask Kylan.

"ideal only. It would be wrong if I wanted to be a model" said Jojo. He glared at Kylan who was looking at him with a faint smile.

"You can ask Kalingga, our family company is engaged in women's fashion. Bags, jackets, dresses, dresses, even lingerie. Just ask brother to make you his model." Kylan gave me a suggestion.

"Are you going to take pictures of me?" ask Jojo.

"Hey, I definitely don't want to. My camera can be charred and burned if you take pictures of your beauty," Kylan said.

Hearing the man's words, Jojo glared. He grabbed the couch cushion and hit Kylan hard. How could the man ridicule him like that?

"Hey, do you think I'm that bad?" ask Jojo. He continued to beat Kylan and let the man curl up and ask Keenan for help.

"Hey, stop! Golly, Jo!" exclaim Kylan. He begged for mercy and apologized to Jojo. Kylan also dragged Keenan's arm to keep Jojo away from him, but the girl kept hitting.

Keenan does not help his brother, he instead laughs at Kylan for losing to Jojo's attack. Once satisfied, Jojo encourages Kylan to sit them apart.

"What do you want to be a model for? I'll help you" Kylan said. He offered help but with a strange smile. Jojo is silent, he thaws and ignores Kylan's speech.

"I know, it looks like you're better suited to modeling ... lingerie" Kylan said. Jojo glared back with both eyes almost out. Nimble, Kylan jumped over the sofa and ran up the stairs.

This time Keenan could no longer help but laugh. He did not expect Jojo to be sensitive to things like this. Keenan Kira, Jojo is a girl who casually responds to anything.

"Don't taunt me, brother!" Jojo glanced at Keenan.

"I laughed at Kylan" Keenan replied. But he still smiled faintly.

"Lied!" Jojo decided to get up and go back to the room. A very exhausting day indeed. But he was not really angry with Kylan, he was self-conscious if he could not be a model as he aspired.

The days just passed, every day Jojo always wake up early and run his routine to cook, prepare breakfast, then sweep and wash his children's clothes.

This morning, Jojo was busy in the kitchen frying chicken. Keenan suddenly ran towards him with a panicked face.

"Jo, I need help." Keenan pulled Jojo's hand and took the girl to his room. Jojo left the chicken still on the pan with hot oil.

After arriving at his room, Keenan apparently lost his shorts. It was her favorite superhero character's picture pants that were suddenly tucked away somewhere.

"You can wear something else, brother. It's noon and I left my chicken in the kitchen" Jojo complained. He helped Keenan tear apart the contents of the closet.

"i like it. And it would be angry if the pants were gone" Keenan said. His face looked very serious. Like losing a precious diamond.

Just five minutes later, Jojo had found the pants they were looking for.

"Here," Jojo replied as he pointed at the bottom closet containing special pants and t-shirts inside.

"Surprisingly, I've been looking for him there twice." Keenan scratched his head. This is a frequent occurrence. Keenan lost ties, pants, shirts, socks, to handkerchiefs. Although he tried to tear apart his closet, only Jojo was able to find it.

After what they were looking for, Jojo came out of the room. And now it's Kai's turn to yell his name.

"Did you see my math practice book?" ask Kai. He unpacked his study desk shelf and confused looking for the book.

"Have you searched the bag? in drawer?" ask Jojo. He helps Kai see all the titles of the books scattered on the floor.

"Already, Jo. Last night I used to study, the first hour of my subjects is math today, and I have practice" Kai complained. His face looked sad and worried.

Without saying much, Jojo exited the room and headed for the living room. He looked carefully at the whole living room and found a book tucked under the television table.

"Here it seems," murmured Jojo. He yells at Kai from the lower rungs and says he found the book.

A moment later, Jojo remembers leaving the chicken on a frying pan with hot oil. His heart was broken to see his chicken turn black.

Too bad, this is the stock of side dishes left for the week. There is no other option, instead of fried chicken that is charred, Jojo makes beef-eye eggs in case the children refuse to eat.

At six o'clock and fifteen minutes, the foster children had already arrived at the dinner table. They all gawk at the sighting of fried chicken sitting on a porcelain plate.

"Seriously? you're feeding us charred chicken?" ask Kylan.

"It's not entirely my fault, Kylan. Brother Keenan asked me to find his pants, and Kai lost the book. I forgot and left this innocent chicken in my face" Jojo said. He was also quite sad.

"Sorry." Keenan glanced at all his brothers. He remembers forcing Jojo to leave his chicken and pulling the girl into the room.

One side of the chicken has blackened and must have produced a bitter taste, but the other side is still edible. Kalingga and the others do not mind, they still spend what Jojo serves. But still remove the charred part of the chicken body.

"Jo, after this please find my tie" said Kalingga.

"So brother?" Jojo glares. Almost every day, the drama of losing something must have happened in this house. I don't know when his children became forgetful. In this house, Jojo is like carrying a miracle. Whatever items are lost and tucked away, Jojo will easily find.

After breakfast, Jojo kept his promise to look for the tie that Kalingga meant. He complains that Kalingga does not allow washing his clothes but still asks Jojo to look for something he does not know.

"I'll wash your clothes from tomorrow, brother. If anything is missing, I'll find it easily" Jojo said. He looked carefully at all the ties hanging in a special cupboard.

"Don't. I don't like people washing my clothes" Kalingga said.

"Other people? I'm the babysitter of the four of you."

"One day, only my wife allowed me to wash it" Kalingga said.
