MY FOSTER SON

Embarrassing Experience

Morning in the country of people, making Jojo difficult to adapt because of the time difference is too far from his home country. He has trouble sleeping and waking up because he feels uncomfortable.

This was the second day Kalingga and Jojo stayed at the hotel. They will return to visit two more outlets belonging to the Aslan family.

Gts ... Gts ... Gts ....

"Jojo, are you awake?" ask Kalingga from behind the door.

Jojo was still under the blanket with his body curled in the cold. His body was painful and uncomfortable. Almost overnight, the girl had trouble sleeping and was restless.

Hearing the door being knocked repeatedly, Jojo walks lazily to open it. He saw a handsome man standing at the door carrying a box of cookies. The man's body was sweating with a small towel around his neck.

"Sister, did you just work out?" ask Jojo. He blinked his eyes quickly while observing the appearance of Kalingga.

"Yes, I just got out of the fitness room. Did you sleep well?" ask Kalingga. The man goes into Jojo's room and puts the cake on the table.

"Insomnia" replied Jojo. He twisted his neck and back in front of Kalingga.

"I bought a cake downstairs. It's delicious, chocolate and caramel, American-made cakes."

"Ah, looks good. I'll wash my face and brush my teeth for a while, you can wait here, brother," said Jojo as he passed towards the bathroom.

While in the bathroom, the girl was astonished by what had happened to her this morning.

"Oh my God, I forgot. How'this?" inner Jojo. The girl undoes her intention to wash her face and brush her teeth. He took off his dirty pants from the blood.

Apparently, Jojo forgot one very important thing in the women's period. Menstruation!

"Ah, what should I do?" Jojo wrapped a towel around his waist, he walked back and forth in the bathroom.

Almost half an hour passed, Jojo was still in the bathroom washing his pants.

"Jo, are you okay?" ask Kalingga. The man was worried and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Yes, I'm fine, brother." Jojo shouted from inside.

"Why so long? I'll go back to my room and get ready. After this we go down for breakfast."

Jojo is agitated, what should he do. He even forgot to bring a pad.

"Wait, Brother!" exclaim Jojo. He pulled his head out from behind the bathroom door and prevented Kalingga from leaving his room.

"You why?"

"May I ask for help?" ask Jojo. How do I say it? How explain? Jojo confusion.

"What's wrong?" ask Kalingga. He did not understand why Jojo suddenly behaved strangely.

"Emm, does the minimarket below also sell pads?" ask Jojo. He smiled and showed all his teeth.

Kalingga gawked, was it not wrong for Jojo to ask that? He's a man, where does he know that kind of thing?

"What's the problem?" ask Kalingga again. Looks like Jojo really needs help.

"Can ... You help me buy a sanitary pad?" ask Jojo shyly. The girl seemed to lose her face in front of Kalingga. This will be the most embarrassing thing of his life.

"Did I hear wrong?" kalingga.

"Is this really an emergency?" ask Kalingga. He rubbed his face and took a long breath.

"I can't walk downstairs and into the minimarket under these circumstances, sister. How about ...."

"Good, stop. How's that shape or brand?" ask Kalingga.

Jojo asks the man to come closer and borrow his cell phone. The girl was looking for various brands of pads and packaging images as an example for Kalingga to understand.

"Where is this usually arranged?" ask Kalingga again.

"In the row of women's needs, brother. You can ask the minimarket officer if you have trouble finding it. Buy a sanitary pad that is twenty-nine centimeters long, because this is my first day," explained Jojo.

"Do I have to measure it before I buy?"

"No, there's writing on the packaging."

"Oh my God." Kalinga complained in his heart. Being a woman turns out to be very complicated, that kind of thing alone should pay attention to size. Do all things have to be measured?

"Will Jojo also be concerned about size ...."

Ah, Kalingga started thinking a no-no. The man walked quickly out of Jojo's room and headed to the minimarket on the ground floor.

This minimarket was bigger than he had imagined. Various needs are sold here. Kalingga starts combing through each aisle to find what Jojo needs.

He was embarrassed when some women saw him observing the shelves containing various kinds of pads from various brands. Kalingga reads every sanitary pad packaging, making sure that it fits what Jojo ordered.

Kalingga gulped roughly as he reached the cashier. He saw some women waiting in line. The man lined up and held a bandage in front of his body. He hoped that others would not see what he was carrying.

Kalingga kept glancing around. A cashier who happened to be a woman also looked at him while making a smile. Kalingga thought that the cashier must be laughing at him.

"My good looks seem to be fading thirty percent!" inner Kalingga.

After one packing pad containing several seeds has entered into the grocery bag. Kalingga immediately took him and ignored the gazes of the beautiful women around him.

The man broke out in a cold sweat, this situation was more stressful than being inside the courtroom. He rubbed it fully on his forehead and rushed back to Jojo's room.

"Sister, thank you very much." Jojo accepts what Kalingga brings with a feeling of happiness. Somehow it would have been her if Kalinga had not been kind enough to help her this morning.

After handing over what Jojo needed, Kalingga did not immediately return to the room. He waited until Jojo finished and came out of the bathroom.

After finishing off his interest in the bathroom, Jojo soon meets Kalingga. The man's face looks flat, Jojo thinks that the man must be embarrassed to buy pads at the minimarket.

"Sister, sorry for the trouble" said Jojo with a sad feeling. It's really not that good.

"I can't believe I'm gonna do it." Kalingga said softly while shaking his head slowly. His pride was at stake this morning.

"Sorry, Brother."

"This will be a secret between us. Don't tell Keenan, Kylan, or even Kai" Kalingga said.

"Okay, I get it." Jojo nodded.

Buying pads is certainly not a shame if it is done for the sake of his wife. But in this situation, Jojo is not even a nobody. And what about the women near the cashier who saw Kalingga curiously?
