MY FOSTER SON

Winning Everyone's Heart

Sunday morning, Jojo was getting ready to go to the traditional market, he and Kai had already served this sentence for almost a month. Overnight, Kalingga had given him allotments of shopping money for the purposes of giving meat, fish, eggs, vegetables to rice, milk and all the needs that Jojo thought was needed.

"How much are we going to buy?" ask Kai before they leave. He heats the motor while waiting for Jojo to see a list of groceries he notes on a piece of paper.

"Quite a lot" replied Jojo. Before he made the grocery list, Jojo first made a list of what dishes and foods he would process for the next week to adjust their needs. But this week he will buy more, because he learned from the previous weeks that suddenly there was less.

"You guys haven't left yet?" ask Kylan. He dressed neatly while playing the car keys on his finger.

"In a minute, where are you going? it's sunday!" reprimand Jojo.

"I'm going to see a friend. Take it easy, I'll be home at lunchtime. Just hanging out, "Kylan replied.

"alright. Be careful on the road." Jojo waved as the man got into his car.

After making sure the engine is hot enough, Kai gives Jojo a helmet and asks the girl to ride. While from the main door, Keenan smiled and waved ushering in the departure of his sister and nanny.

The distance between the house and the traditional market is not too far away. It only took fifteen minutes, both of them had already arrived in place.

The bustling and crowded market atmosphere made Kai reluctant to come in. He tries to seduce Jojo into allowing him to stay seated on a parked motorcycle.

"Hey, Brother punished us both. You have to take part in this" said Jojo. Kai pouted, he really felt uncomfortable being in a crowded and crowded place like this.

"OK, okay. But please you need to hurry!" pinai Kai's. Jojo can't promise, but he will try to buy everything quickly.

Jojo has come to the market for the fourth time, he began to memorize the location of the seller of vegetables and fruit separate from the seller of fish, chicken and beef.

Before starting shopping, Jojo bought two bags and asked Kai to bring them. Kai followed wherever Jojo walked. The girl bought some fish and chicken. Kai felt nauseous when he was at a stand that was all lined up peddling their fish wares. The fishy smell of the stinging fish made Kai uncomfortable.

"Quick a little, Jo!" pinta Kai's. He covered his mouth and nose with the tip of the jacket he was wearing. Jojo just shook his head slowly to see the behavior of his foster children.

"Patience, Kai."

Almost two hours they were in the market, Jojo bought many kinds of vegetables and side dishes. Even so, Jojo only carries one small wallet and Kai is in charge of lifting all their groceries.

"Is this not enough?" ask Kai. He continued to protest every time Jojo put things in his grocery bag. Not to mention, the bustling market atmosphere on Sundays makes Kai often nudged by impatient mothers while queuing the road.

"Do you want anything?" ask Jojo.

"What foods can you buy in this market?" ask Kai. It was a less pleasant experience in her life entering a traditional market where ninety percent of her visitors were mothers.

Jojo tried to circulate his gaze around, he asked one of the fruit sellers about the market section that used to sell traditional food. After getting an answer, Jojo drags Kai's arm.

"Are you going to buy the whole market? look, these two bags are almost full" Kai lamented as he breathed a rough sigh.

Jojo ignores him, buying some traditional snacks that his foster children may never feel. After they finished, they exited the market and headed for the parking lot.

"Make sure you hold it with both hands, don't fall or fall" said Jojo.

Kai swallowed. The motorbike that he loves every day and he takes care of like a baby, now looks more like a motorcycle ojek, and he is a motorcycle taxi driver.

The black sports motorbike is the front soaring high groceries owned by Jojo. Kai even had trouble seeing the streets. While one more grocery bag is placed in the middle between Jojo and Kai, making both feel uncomfortable.

After arriving home, Jojo drops all his groceries and takes them to the kitchen. While Kai looked sad, he immediately brought a water hose and sprayed his vehicle until it returned kinclong, because the fish and meat purchased caused dirty spots on the body of his motorbike.

"You're home yet?" ask Keenan. He approached Jojo and helped the girl unpack all the items she had bought.

While Keenan is happy to help Jojo in the kitchen, Kai in the yard is wiping his bike lovingly.

"Did Kai help you?" ask Keenan to Jojo.

"Of course, Brother. Not only am I punished, so Kai should come with me, too" Jojo replied.

When the vegetables and fish had entered the refrigerator, Kai suddenly entered with a sullen face.

"Other times just rent a motorcycle or motorcycle motorcycle open tricycle. I don't want my favorite bike to stink of fish!" lament Kai.

"Hey, you're being punished. There is no bargaining!" sela Keenan's.

"Sister, we can go shopping at the mall. Why the traditional market, anyway?"

"If shopping in a traditional market, in addition to the price is cheaper and the ingredients can be fresher. We can also help to line up other people's merchandise. They need more than mall entrepreneurs" Keenan explained.

"Here you go, don't be spoiled. Get up and take a shower. You smell like salted fish!" ledek Jojo's. Kai squinted, he raised his index finger and pointed at Jojo.

"Review you!" mumbling Kai.

Jojo and Keenan laughed at the boy's behavior. After making sure everything was in order, Jojo said goodbye to Kai for a quick shower. He also felt sultry after touring the market and crowded with many people.

"How are they?" kalingga asked Keenan after Jojo had entered his room.

"Kai is upset and angry because his body smells of fish, while Jojo is fine. He didn't protest at all" Keenan said.

"I wonder how Jojo melted Kai's heart that fast. Even Olivia who has known us for years is still considered someone else by Kai. As for Jojo, he worked in this house for a few months and won the hearts of everyone" Kalingga said.

Keenan tried to digest well the sentence Kalingga said. Win everyone's heart? whatdoes thatmean?
