I'm Still in High School
Chapter 4 Marriage Only
District 3 Park Avenue...
An old man was seen delivering guests visiting his house to the exit. A smile of happiness was seen on the old man's face, as his friend started to get into the car. Behind the old man, a 28-year-old boy was seen delivering, waving as the car carrying the visiting guest exited their yard.
"Andrew. At 21:15 pm, a girl has not reached home, since the morning she went to school." the old man who turned out to be Mr. Atmadja, the grandfather of Gwen asked his son.
"We'll wait a little while longer.s., Andrew also just came today from Singapore so don't know where Gwen went. Or take a break, Andrew will wait until Gwen gets home. If it's not until 22:00 at home, Andrew will look to his school." patiently while holding back his worries, Andrew invited his papa inside, he said,
"You know to Gwen, she's a girl, not a boy. There are a few things that girls can't do, including going back and forth, no strings attached, and also the company." Mr. Atmadja still keeps commenting on the only grandchild in the family.
"Yes pa. Andrew will overcome everything." the man continued to try to calm his father.
Mr. Atmadja would sit in the living room, but Andrew blocked the man and took him to his room to rest. Finally, Mr. Atdmaja said, the old man immediately entered his room.
"Tell Gwen the girl must accept my offer. No rejection, Gwen must be willing to marry Barra, the youngest son of Mr. Chandra. Gwen is 17 years old too, and only marriage will change... You too, already 28 years old, cannot be expected to continue the Altmadja family.." while mengedumel, Mr. Atmadja went into the room.
"Well, pa.." with a wry smile, Andrew closed the door to his father's room.
The young man took a deep breath, then walked towards the middle room. An ART man who had served in the house for a long time, came to the young man.
"Mr Andrew.do you need to make a hot drink, sir... It seems like Mr. Andrew will still be waiting for Miss Gwen to come home." the family's ART cautiously asked Andrew.
"Yes Bi. make me a warm ginger drink, it seems like I'm a little unwell.." while taking the TV remote and turning on the television, Andrew answered Aunt Surti's question.
"Well Mr. Andrew. wait a minute.." aunt Surti immediately walked away leaving Andrew watching television in the living room. The man raised both his legs, then slid both feet on the sofa. Several times, Andrew was seen observing the clockwork on the wall of the room,
"Hmmm... Gwen can't be allowed to go on and on, I'm gonna feel so guilty about Jack.. True what papa said, it is better for Gwen to marry Barra, and that man will direct her. Married now, or later will be the same, after all Gwen will also still be able to continue her studies." feeling bored with the delinquency of her nephew, Andrew to mumble himself, Unknowingly, the man agrees to his father's plan, to match Gwen with his best friend who is also the son of his father's best friend.
"Barra will be able to become a surrogate father figure, and also as a husband for Gwen. I'm sure of that." continued Andrew.

At 21:50 minutes
"Broom. broom.." there was a sound of a motor entering the garage, and it could surprise Andrew who fell asleep for a while waiting for Gwen's return. The man took a deep breath, then stood up to welcome his nephew into the house.
"Taste the wind, let your hair down, throw your hands up
"Go, go, go, let go forget the consequences
"Go, go, go, let go running free
"Open your heart, open your mind" the lyrics of the song Run Free from Asking Alexandria, were sung by Gwen while entering the house. The metal song lyrics, without difficulty and also without discomfort, came out of the lips of Gwen who looked cheerful into the house,
"No, before entering the house say hello. Don't even wake a demon up in the middle of the night with your metal song.." Gwen was startled, when suddenly in front of her, Om Andrew had already reprimanded and stood in front of her. The girl did not expect, if her Om who spent more time abroad, tonight was already inside the house.
"Mmmph.., peace Om, right for the spirit of Gwen Om.. He.." while raising two fingers in front of the face, with a plain face, Gwen smiled and looked towards Andrew.
"Get in, and immediately go into the room. Remember Gwen.you are in that house to guard and accompany opa, not even obscure wandering until night. That girl your age, should go straight home, when class is over. Moreover, you are, already XII class where soon will go to college." Andrew's words flowed out spicy.
"Yes. yes .. Why is what Gwen does wrong in Om's eyes, and also Opa. But when mom, and dad left Gwen alone, the two of them were never wrong. They were at peace, in heaven had unwittingly left Gwen in loneliness.." unconsciously, Gwen expressed her loneliness.
Andrew's heart seemed to be touched to hear the complaints of his nephew. Suddenly the young man felt guilty, and immediately pulled Gwen down then drowned the girl's head in his chest.
"Hehh. eat first, then change clothes. Take a shower and rest, and forgive Om's words if it hurts you Gwen.. Om and opa also just hope, you will be the one who becomes the pride of your father and mother. We will not know what God's destiny and will is.. Gwen. Never blame papa and mama." Andrew's words turned soft.
The man then embraces Gwen, then takes her to the dinner table. Aunt Surti followed the two men to the dinner table.
"Non Gwen, what are you gonna eat tonight..." Aunt Surti immediately asked the girl.
"Make a sandwich Bi, this afternoon Gwen has eaten meatballs. Tonight, Gwen wants to go to sleep. It's sleepy.." Gwen asked for a sandwich, and Andrew painstakingly prepared mineral water in a glass, then gave it to his nephew. Gwen immediately picked up the glass, then directly finished it off directly.
"Wait a minute, non. auntie will soon make a sandwich for non Gwen.." patiently Aunt Surti immediately made a request from Gwen.
Looking at his nephew who seemed to be accomplished, Andrew did not come to heart to convey what his father had ordered. The man was willing to wait until Gwen was back in her mood.
