MY FOSTER SON

Thesis Day (2)

A few seconds before their lips could touch, Jojo reflexively slapped Kalingga.

PLAQUE!!!

"Aaww!!!" Kalingga complained and rubbed his cheeks.

"Oh my God, what am I doing?" inner Jojo. The girl was surprised by the reflexes of her hands.

"Sister, sorry. I was nervous, my hands were reflexively floating," said Jojo. The two girls hands held onto Kalingga's face and rubbed the cheek that he had just slapped. Although it wasn't too loud, the slap was enough to shock Kalingga.

Kalingga took a deep breath, he realized his attitude was quite presumptuous. Perhaps this is part of a warning if there is no touch before confirmation.

"illness?" ask Jojo. The girl felt guilty. He is not used to being too close to men and is always wary of any movement of men who want to touch him, it seems to have become a habit of his body to refuse any foreign touch.

"No, it doesn't hurt as much as when you ignore me" Kalingga replied with a smile. The soft hand that was now rubbing his face seemed to be the medicine of all pain.

"Sorry," said Jojo.

After making sure Kalingga was okay, Jojo went into the kitchen and picked up a fruit salad for Kalingga as an apology. While studying the trial materials today, Kalingga fed the girl and accompanied her.

Jojo's feelings become uncomfortable since his hand accidentally slapped Kalingga, the girl has a strong survival instinct to defend herself. Because being a beautiful student with an acute singles predicate makes many other students from seniors to juniors who are often tempting.

After nine o'clock, Jojo went into the room and prepared. He wears a white shirt and neat black pants. Before leaving, he called his parents and asked them for prayers and support. Every time he stepped up, Jojo always wanted the blessing of his parents as a shade.

"You ready?" ask Kalingga. The man reached out his hand and took Jojo out of the house.

Along the way Jojo prayed, may what he has been working on all this time run smoothly. The thesis hearing is the final stage that he is most looking forward to, here all his hard work and efforts in education will be at stake.

"You can, of course," said Kalingga, clasping Jojo's cold hand. The girl was nervous and nervous.

After the two of them reached the campus, Irene was already waiting for Jojo in the parking lot. The woman sees Jojo and Kalingga getting out of the car, but does not come to them immediately for fear of disturbing.

"Go, Brother. I'll call you when I'm done" said Jojo.

"What if I wait here?"

"No, you have to go to the office, brother. Your work will wait." Jojo.

"Come here" Kalingga said, bringing Jojo's body closer and hugging the girl. The man rubbed Jojo's hair and told her to always calm down and concentrate.

"For the next few hours, please throw me out of your mind. Stay focused and calm, honey."

"Thank you, Brother."

"I love you" whispered Kalingga before removing Jojo from his arms. The girl smiled shyly, she waved her hand as Kalingga's car crept out of her campus courtyard.

From a distance, Irene could not help her anxiety. The woman jumps up small while covering her mouth with her hands as Jojo runs towards her.

Seeing the rare scenery when his best friend is so friendly with a man, certainly makes Irene so anxious and happy.

"You look happy today, good luck" Irene hugged her best friend.

Jojo gets the earliest trial turn among his friends, while Irene, can only undergo a trial tomorrow morning according to schedule. And Irene's arrival today, just to accompany her best friend and provide support.

Fifteen minutes before the hearing, Jojo was groggy. He kept getting messages from Kalingga, Keenan and Kylan. The three men gave him various words of encouragement and support.

Outside the room, Irene waited anxiously. Although he was not the one in the examination room, he felt he was risking his life, thinking about the fate of his best friend.

As the girl with the hair draped out of the examination hall, Irene immediately hugged her.

"Hows it? Everything all right?" ask Irene. Jojo nodded and smiled.

All the nervousness and worry had disappeared, one stage of his life journey had passed well. Without Jojo knowing, Irene had prepared a lot of gifts, from dolls to bouquets of flowers. Jojo was very happy, he hugged his best friend back and thanked him.

Now Jojo just waiting for the announcement of the results of his script exam which will be announced in three to four days. Jojo tries to call Kalingga to tell the man if he is done, but Kalingga seems to be busy.

"Why? Your boyfriend busy?" ask Irene.

"I remember he had a meeting this afternoon. I'm going home in a taxi" said Jojo.

"I'll drive you."

"No need to bother, Irene. You just came to make me happy and excited. Go home, your foster children must be waiting," said Jojo.

From a distance, Leon runs towards Jojo and Irene.

"Leon" said Jojo.

"Hi, Jojo." Leon handed a bouquet of roses to the girl he had been wanting.

"He's got a girlfriend, Leon. Don't bother him!" Irene Tease.

"This is just a gift, as a congratulation for the success of your script trial today" Leon explained.

Jojo feels bad if he rejects the man's kindness. Although their relationship is not very good, Jojo appreciates his efforts.

"Thank you, Leon. I hope you succeed the day after tomorrow." Jojo nodded while accepting the gift of Leon.

Irene dragged Jojo away from the man, then she resigned because she had to get back to work. They hugged each other before parting ways, and Jojo sat at a stop near the campus gate carrying a large doll Irene had given him and a bouquet of flowers.

Unexpectedly, a black-colored car that he was very familiar with stopped right in front of him. Kalingga got out of the car and approached Jojo.

"Darling, sorry. There it jammed, I tried to come as soon as possible," said Kalingga.

"Sister, it's okay. I thought you were having a meeting this afternoon."

"I've all overcome. Come on!" Kalingga helps Jojo carry his large doll and opens the car door, letting his girlfriend in.

"Where are we going?" ask Jojo. The reason, the direction of Kalingga cars turned from the direction of their way home.

"To stalls. Give you a gift" answered Kalingga.

Jojo smiled shyly. He looked at the man who was focusing on driving his car from the side. Jojo couldn't even believe the fact that the man was his lover.

"Who is the gift from?" ask Kalingga.
