MY FOSTER SON

Any luck?

After a long journey, Jojo and Kalingga finally arrived in New York City at 9 p.m. It is one of the largest metropolises in the United States. The city that has the nickname "Big Apple" has characteristics that are full of art. Starting from performing arts to fashion shows such as New York Fashion Week.

Although his brand has not even fully penetrated the national market, Kalingga is quite confident if what he will bring to this fashion city can be accepted by the local community who fully adore fashion as a necessity of life.

New York is filled with people from different countries to live and settle in. This city is the most populous city in the United States with the average population is immigrants from various countries in the world.

"We're gonna stay here?" jojo asked as they got off a taxi. Kalingga and Jojo are standing in a large hotel building in the city center, just a short distance from the airport.

"This is a hotel provided by Mr. Aslan. Do you remember April? Mr. Aslan is his father" Kalingga explained.

The man drags his suitcase in followed by Jojo. The girl behind Kalingga was so amazed to see the interior of the hotel so luxurious and shiny. Large crystal lights hung at various angles, expensive jars with beautiful carvings stood firmly adorning the room.

Not until five minutes of waiting, Kalingga has got two hotel room keys in the form of cards. He and Jojo boarded the elevator to get to their room, a hotel attendant also helped the two carry a suitcase.

"This is the key to your room" Kalingga said, handing over a card with a gold hanger that read 'New York'.

"Well, do I have my own room?" ask Jojo.

"of course. But if you want us to sleep in one room, I won't refuse" Kalingga joked. He gave a smile as he waited for the response of the girl standing beside him.

"Sister!" exclaim Jojo. The girl was shaking her lips.

After reaching the tenth floor, Kalingga escorted Jojo to his room first. The man helps Jojo put the suitcase in the closet and tells about their schedule tomorrow morning.

"We can rest. After this, I'll order some food and have the hotel attendant take her to your room" Kalingga said.

"Where's your room, brother?" ask Jojo.

"On the right. If you need anything, call me."

"My number can't be used here." Jonah complained.

"Ah, okay. Come to my room anytime you need anything."

Jojo nodded and let Kalingga out of his room. The girl let out her head from behind the door, her eyes following Kalingga until the man entered the room. The girl just wanted to make sure Kalingga's room was located for fear of making a mistake.

Jojo was eager to shout to express his excitement. The girl photographed the view from the window of the hotel showing the beautiful city of New York at night. The tall buildings of skyscrapers to the throngs of pedestrians walking briskly on the sidewalks look like ants crammed from the tenth floor. Flickering lights dotted every corner of the city, looking like a city that never sleeps.

If only he could use his number, he would have already sent these photos to Kai. The boy would have been envious if he had known that Kalingga had invited him to stay in a luxury hotel. What's more, Jojo also had a photo with Kalingga while on the plane.

It feels very fun, village girls who are used to living simply in the city to complete their education, can go abroad and stay in luxury hotels. Even Jojo was eager to bring Irene and her parents to this place if he had the chance.

After filling his mobile gallery with various photos of the scenery, Jojo unpacked the contents of his suitcase. The girl moved some easily wrinkled clothes and hung them in a large closet.

Tomorrow morning, Jojo will accompany Kalingga survey to several outlets owned by Aslan which will be the place of sale of several models of dresses and lingerie from the company Kalingga. Jojo certainly did not want his appearance to be considered bad by others, because he was accompanying a handsome fashion businessman. Luckily, she has two dresses given by Keenan and Kylan.

"Jo, are you okay?" ask Kalingga from outside. The man brought some snacks they had bought while at the airport, but Jojo forgot and stuffed them into Kalingga's suitcase.

There was no answer, Jojo was lulled into his beautiful dream.

Kalingga was worried, he accidentally pressed the door and the room opened.

"Oh my God, he didn't lock his room" muttered Kalingga. The man forgot to tell Jojo how to lock the room and open it using a cardlock. Luckily, no one else came in suddenly.

Kalingga placed the snacks on the table near the sofa. He saw Jojo fall asleep with a position hugging bolsters. The girl had not even taken a bath, probably from being too tired after the trip that far.

Kalingga is eager to wake Jojo up so that he can get out and Jojo can lock his room, but he does not have the heart to disturb the girl's sleep.

In the end, Kalingga decided to lie on the sofa and wait for the food he ordered to come, because his order would be delivered by the hotel attendant to this room.

Not long after, the hotel clerk knocked on the door and pushed the trolley containing several dinner dishes to dessert.

Kalingga carefully woke Jojo up, he rubbed the girl's face with his cold palms.

"Jo, let's get up. We eat first" said Kalingga. He grabbed the boy whose dangling hair covered part of Jojo's face.

"Hm." Jojo berdehem's. He thought that Kalingga's voice came from his dream.

"Let's get up!" reset Kalingga. Upon realizing that the voice was real near his ear, Jojo flinched and woke up instantly.

"Sister, what are you doing in my room?" ask Jojo. He rubbed his face, trying to gather the flying consciousness.

"Why not lock your room? What if someone comes in?" ask Kalingga.

"Oh, yes. I forgot."

"Are you used to sleeping at home without locking the door?"

"It could be, sometimes I'm forgetful, brother." Jojo answered while squirming on the bed. The girl stretched her stiff body muscles due to lack of activity all day.

"Hmm, lucky, it was me who entered your room," Kalingga said with a sigh.

"What's in it if you come in?" ask Jojo wonder.

"Yes, lucky. What if someone else? If I were, wouldn't it be impossible to do anything."
