I'm Still in High School
Chapter 276 The Return Journey
Elsewhere, somewhere else,
As soon as he received the chat Gwen sent him, Jacqluinne seemed speechless. The woman did not move from the last sitting position, still rubbing the face of her mother who was very far aged. There was a sense of tightness filled the woman's chest cavity, but Jacqluinne himself could not vent it, After a long time away from Indonesia, more than ten years, Jacqluinne more shut down. The woman shut down communication with her extended family. And at this time, the face of his old mother, was clearly visible in one frame that Gwen sent.
“Mama... So far, Jacqluinne has never once asked how are you, nor other family members in Jakarta.” Jacqluinne began to let out sobs.
Especially when in a chat, Gwen said that her father had already left his mother alone. The longing, and wanting to make amends were deeply stirred up in the woman's chest. For a moment, Jacqluinne let out a sorrow and grief by crying to herself.
“Honey... why are you crying alone on the balcony like this…? What makes you sad and upset.” suddenly Andy's voice behind him, greatly surprised the woman.
Using the tip of the cardigan he was wearing, Jacqluinne wiped the tears that were still inundated in his eye sashes. After making sure the tears had disappeared, Jacqluinne turned her back, and tried to smile at her husband Andy.
“Sorry Andy. Where's Mike..., why didn't that kid come looking for me here, too.” Jacqluinne tried to shift the focus.
But Andy wasn't that easy to lie to. The young man walked over to his wife, and glanced at Jacqluinne's hand, who seemed to be hiding the phone in her hand. The man's eyes seemed to be squeaking, then…
“Can you show me your phone for a moment baby.., I just want to see it for a while.” feel if the phone is the cause of his wife's grief, Andy tries to find out.
Spontaneous Jacqluinne looks nervous, between giving her husband a cell phone, or hiding what her husband taboo to know. A while Andy was seen waiting, until finally..
“Have a love.., if I am your husband you are not allowed to see your phone, forget it. We just go out to meet Mike, the boy is waiting for us in the living room.” Andy is not chasing his curiosity. The young man thought, if it was time, his wife would tell him what was the problem.
“Andy... forgive me!! Not that I meant to lie and play secrets with you. It's just that, this time I feel very sad, because it is remembered with my mother Andy.” realized if her husband kept it a secret from his curiosity, jacqluinne finally approached Andy. The woman without speaking handed her cell phone to her husband. Andy looked at his wife's face, and for a moment they looked at each other, but finally Andy took the phone in Jacqluinne's hand.
Jacqluinne was silent while observing the change in attitude towards her husband, but looks flat Andy. There was no apparent turmoil of emotional expression as he scrolled through message after message sent by Gwen to his wife. Jacqluinne was already pounding hard, imagining that her husband would show a strong reaction.
“We went out first to accompany Mike now Jacqluinne.. We'll set the time for the next few days, I'll take you and Mike to meet with Mama Ayun in Indonesia. I will rest at the feet of the middle-aged woman, having given her a grandchild without her blessing and permission.” Andy's last words surprised Jacqluinne.
The woman looked at her husband's face as if in disbelief, but Andy just smiled and nodded his head, as if confirming what was said to him. Finally Jacqluinne approached Andy, and hugged her husband's body tightly, then the two immediately walked out to accompany their baby.

A few days later, Jacqluinne and Mike were walking with her husband at Vantaa Helsinki International Airport. It turns out that Andy did not play with his promise to Jacqluinne. Not until waiting weeks from the last time talking with his wife, the man had taken care of all the equipment, and until their departure ticket to Indonesia. The man chose a commercial flight, because he felt less funding if he had to take care of a private flight. But that, has made the heart of his wife Jacqluinne very happy, because the dream to be able to meet mama Ayun in Jakarta, will soon be fulfilled, he said,
Andy smiled, then rubbed his son's head.
“It won't be thirty minutes to go papa, because our flight schedule is at 10:55 a.m. Now the clock is still at 10.20 a.m, it won't be long.” patiently Andy explained.
“Is your son impatient to fly soon dear.?” Jacqluinne followed.
“He. he. he.., Mike wants to see Oma soon. Surely Oma will be surprised when he met Mike later.” it turns out that the little boy had imagined how his meeting with Oma Ayun later.
“Really dear... Oma will definitely be very surprised to see you've got a big height. And surely Oma would also be happy, to be able to see her handsome grandson like you.” Jacqluinne encouraged her son.
Andy smiled at the communication between his wife and son. The man grabbed Jacqluinne by the shoulder, and the three of them hugged tightly. Suddenly, a voice of the announcer gave information, if the plane they were going to board was allowed to boarding.
“We have to get into the plane immediately dear.. Get ready.” Andy released a hug on his wife and son. With sprightly, Andy immediately took two cabin bags then immediately took Mike's hand, and took him immediately to get out of the place,
Jacqluinne smiled happily, and the woman immediately walked beside her son's right. Seen from behind, the small family with one son seemed to go hand in hand, and smiles never escaped their lips.
“Good morning, please show your flight ticket and passport and visa for international flights..” in front of the gate, it appears that the airport officer checks the completeness of each passenger.
Andy quickly pulled out his cell phone, then showed me his boarding pass, and also e passport and e visa for travel to Indonesia.
“Okay... that rights.. Please pay attention to your son, Do not get lost, and enjoy the trip.” friendly, airport officials invite Andy and his wife and son, to get on the plane.
Jacqluinne holding Mike's hand into the plane first, then Andy followed behind him. Fortunately their seats were in the front row, three rows from the front, so they did not have to bother to go inside.
“Mike want to sit in the middle, or want to sit near the window dear.” before entering, Jacqluinne asked her son.
“Simmer mommy, so that later papa can be closer to mommy.” innocently, Mike directly entered in the row of seats, then sat by the window.
Jacqluinne and Andy looked at each other and smiled, then the woman went inside following her son. Andy sat on his own side, with Jacqluinne sitting in the middle seat.
