I'm Still in High School
Chapter 13 Different Places
District 3 Park Avenue...
Andrew restlessly went in and out of the house, trying to find out if Barra had brought his nephew back. The man had to make excuses on his father, and also his father Barra. Andrew says if Barra and Gwen want to eat out, they want to get to know each other. Hearing Andrew's testimony, the two old men looked overjoyed. They think that the match has brought results, by getting closer to their relationship.
"What have you been doing in and out of Andrew's house, do you want to go, and have an appointment with someone.." Andrew was surprised that his papa was suddenly already standing behind him.
"Mmmph no pa, it's just that Andrew is waiting for Barra. There's something you're gonna talk to Gwen pa's husband about, but they haven't been home since.." Stuttering, Andrew makes an excuse, and,
"You're Andr, so get married soon, let's know how the sensation as a newly married couple. They must be distracted for a honeymoon at home, because there are still many people in this house. So they might be looking for a place to meet each other." Mr. Atmadja instead gave a lecture to his son.
"Yes, don't start.. Andrew promised me that, soon, Andrew would have gone home to bring a woman for Andrew to marry, "the man smiled wryly. He had a reason why he was not married. Andrew was still waiting for his lover's willingness to marry him. Life abroad, which is free and easy to change partners, often scares women to make marriage commitments. And Andrew gave time to think for his lover, even until he did not know when his lover would be willing to be invited to marry.
"It's always your answer." said Mr. Atmadja and the old man walked in, leaving Andrew back alone on the porch.

Towards dusk, Barra's car finally entered the yard. Andrew took a breath of relief, seeing his beloved nephew sitting next to his best friend. But not until Barra opened the car door for him, Gwen had opened first then the girl came out and walked away from Barra first.
"Om." said Gwen briefly, and the girl shook Andrew's hand.
"Where are you, Gwen, remember not to bother your husband too often.." Andrew asked the girl. And Gwen ventured into her uncle's eyes, and they turned.
"Sorry Om. To be honest, Gwen felt she had no husband. And this morning's wedding, for Gwen, was just a game, not a serious one.." Gwen answers a question from her uncle, then the girl walks in leaving Andrew. Realizing that his nephew was in a bad mood, Andrew did not mind Gwen's behavior.
"Let it be Gwen first.. Andr. Looks like the girl is still unconscious, if she's my wife. Gwen seems to assume that the wedding was early this morning, just a charade to trick papa, and Papa Armadja.." Barra tried to tell Andrew.
It was seen Andrew taking a deep breath, then exhaling it slowly.
"Titip my beloved nephew Barra, your work is hard. Besides you have to educate her to be a good wife, you also have to be patient with her. Tomorrow morning I have to go to Japan, there is a partner who wants to invite me to discuss in the country.." while walking in, Andrew told Barra.
"Go Andrew. I still have a few days in Bogor, all while spending my free time. I also have a new activity, trying to understand how a teenager thinks and behaves." said Barra with a smile.

Day
Gwen prepares her school supplies, and Barra also looks to open the gadget on the sofa in the girl's room. Gwen had already evaded the man, escaping from the bridal chamber prepared for them. But apparently Barra still followed where the girl went..
"I have to go to sleep immediately, but Om is still in front of his gadget." Gwen piled up the pillows and bolted up high, then wrapped her body in a thick blanket, which she then wrapped around her,
It seemed like Barra saw the girl's behavior, and the man smiled to himself looking at her. But it seems that Barra is not looking for a commotion, the man remains focused behind the screen of his gadget, not giving a reprimand, or greeting to Gwen.
"But how about it, if Om Barra acts cheating. When I was fast asleep, the guy stole a kiss or whatever from me.. Hiiii.." suddenly Gwen looked up, disgusted at the thought that Barra suddenly cheated her.
Under the thick blanket, Gwen looked towards her clothes. In addition to the thick blanket, Gwen also wore a sweater to wrap around her upper body, and the lower part of the girl wore long pants. It was very sad for her husband, because Gwen seemed to close the meeting and not give a gap to her husband.
"Hemmph...it seems like my clothes are very tight, I will try to sleep first to prevent if the old man invites me to talk.." to prevent the conversation, Gwen then forced herself to sleep.
It was not until fifteen minutes, since he closed his eyes, that Gwen was already completely sound asleep. Looking at Gwen who was already sleeping soundly, Barra stood up from her seat. The man walked over to the side of the bed, and smiled at what the girl was doing.
"Was Gwen so bad thinking about me, that her whole body was wrapped up like that. If only the girl knew, I would have no interest in approaching her either. I'm not a pedophile, who forces a child to fuck me.." Barra mumbled softly,
"Why am I such an underworked person, when papa and Om Atmadja forced me to marry Gwen, why can't my mouth speak to reject her. Though I also knew the boy's father." Barra muttered again, as if regretting the decision he had taken and did.
After being satisfied looking at Gwen with her innocent face asleep, Barra then walked towards the drawer in the room. Slowly Barra picked up a pillow, and also a blanket. The adult man then walked to the long sofa, and placed a pillow on the sofa. Sighing, Barra then went up and laid her body on the sofa.
"I'm lazy to look for new problems, let me sleep on this couch tonight. Tomorrow morning when Gwen wakes up, I'll move to sleep on the bed.." pity if he scares his wife, Barra patiently tries to sleep on the couch. As the night was getting late, Barra finally began to close his eyes, and soon the man began to fall asleep.
