MY FOSTER SON

Only Four

Kalingga feels bad if Keenan refuses April's request. What else the woman really likes Keenan, seen from the way he talks and attitude.

"Go, I will treat them" said Kalingga. Jojo and Kai's originally somber faces are now back to light.

"But, Sister ...."

"Sister is being kind enough to treat us, go" said Jojo.

Keenan gulped, why now Jojo and his brothers seemed to throw him out. He really wanted to go with them. The time together like this is very difficult for them to get, but this opportunity will eventually end up in vain.

"Go there, go, go" said Kai with a big smile. He swung both his hands signalling for Keenan to leave immediately.

"Look, your brother and sister allowed it. Come on," take April. He dragged Kalinga's arm away from his three brothers.

In his heart Keenan grumbled in annoyance. Why Kalingga let her go with April. Shouldn't they be able to go eat ice cream together.

Traveling the foursome was such a rare opportunity for these four brothers. Keenan who is always busy with filming and shooting makes him often go home late at night. Kylan is also very busy with his shooting schedule. He always gets great jobs from artists and models. While Kalingga, he is the only person who is most reliable in taking care of their family company.

For Kylan and Keenan, they did not like the business world as much as Kalingga did. Keenan likes acting. Kalingga sent her to a role art school abroad when she graduated High School. While Kylan, he loved photography, that's what made them so fond of their work.

Kalingga invites his two younger siblings and Jojo to leave the cinema. They headed for a mall located not far from the place.

Since working at his foster home, this is the first time they take Jojo for a walk. The girl was not surprised, because all her foster children were indeed busy.

After arriving in front of the mall, Kalingga took them into an ice cream stand. Jojo is the happiest person tonight. Kalingga promised to treat him until he was satisfied.

"What feelings do you like?" ask Jojo Kalingga.

"All tastes," replied Jojo excitedly. Kalingga let his two younger siblings sit with Jojo while he ordered ice cream.

After a few minutes, Kalingga returned with various ice cream variants. He gives Jojo a jumbo-sized bowl of ice cream.

Kylan and Kai were not sure if the girl could afford to spend that much ice cream.

"Sister, thank you very much. Besides being handsome, you are also very good," said Jojo. Kylan and Kai glared at the compliment.

"Don't listen to him, brother. Jojo praises you handsome just because you bought him a lot of ice cream" Kylan said. He seemed to not accept if Jojo praised his handsome brother while he never got praise from Jojo.

"Hey, I'm just being honest. Brother is handsome," said Jojo. Kalingga just smiled hearing Jojo and his sister started to quarrel.

"What about me? Am I handsome too?" ask Kylan.

"Basic! Thirsty confession!" exclaim Jojo cynical. Of all his foster children, the narcissism award winner was championed by Kylan with a myriad of confidence.

After they finish their ice cream, Jojo still leaves a few spoons. He felt his teeth grinding and stomach swelling. He had eaten a lot at the hotel, and now a bowl of ice cream, certainly would not fit in his stomach.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the four of them had reached home. Jojo went straight to his room because he felt very sleepy, as well as his three foster children.

At one in the morning, Jojo woke up. He looked at the clock on his cell phone and walked out of the room. He's looking for Keenan's whereabouts who won't come home.

"What's midnight to my room?" ask Keenan suddenly. The man stood in the doorway while dragging his black suit. He staggered towards the bed.

"Sister, are you drunk?" ask Jojo. The girl helped Keenan get on the bed. He took off Keenan's shoes and socks, then turned on the air conditioner.

"Just a little dizzy" complained Keenan. His hand held his head.

"Why drink so much? Good thing you can go home, if not?" grunts Jojo. The girl confirmed Keenan's sleeping position to be more comfortable, she also put a blanket on the man's body.

Jojo asks Keenan to sleep and rest. He was already quite relieved because all of his foster children were already at home. He doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.

Early in the morning, Jojo woke up. He made a ginger tea for Keenan and delivered it to the man's room. He also cooked chicken soup for his other foster children.

At six o'clock more, the foster children had already come out of their respective rooms and were sitting around the dining table.

"What time does Keenan come home?" ask Kalingga.

"Around one o'clock. He seems drunk, nauseous, headache. I've brought ginger tea to his room" replied Jojo. "Let her sleep, I'll get her breakfast to the room" he continued.

"You have to have breakfast first, then take care of Keenan" said Kalingga. He stopped Jojo who had prepared breakfast rations for Keenan.

"Good." Jojo sat back down, he picked up the food and finished it quickly.

"Please bring me lunch, Jo. I have extra after school, so I go home later in the afternoon" said Kai.

"Ah, yes. After this I will prepare" replied Jojo. He took the food to Keenan's room and saw the man.

Keenan was still sleeping soundly under the blanket. Jojo gently shook Keenan's body, saying only that food and drink were available, but not forcing him to wake up sooner.

"Five more minutes" said Keenan in a hoarse voice. His eyes were still closed but he could hear Jojo's voice well.

"I'll go down and prepare provisions for Kai. Wake up and drink my ginger tea so that your nausea goes away soon, Brother."

"Hm."

Jojo came out and shut the door of the man's room. He returned to the kitchen and immediately prepared lunch for Kai. Because the chicken soup he cooked this morning was gone, Jojo made omelet rolls, fried sausage, and chicken krispy as a side dish.

"Are you ready?" ask Kai. He ran from the end of the stairs and approached Jojo. The boy turned his back to Jojo and asked his nanny to put her provisions in the bag.

Kai leaves first, followed by Kylan and Kalingga.

"Today Keenan has no activities. Please take care of him while we are gone, if he improves, you can go to college" Kalingga said shortly before leaving. Jojo nodded, escorting the man to the main door. As Kalingga was about to get into the car, the man turned around and smiled.

"Thank you, Jo!"
