Aldo released a check on Gwen's wrist, but her eyes were still fixed on Gwen. The two looked at each other for a while, but it was Gwen who finally took her eyes off the man in front of her. Every day together, hanging out together, there's never been a feeling like this before. But in this state, suddenly Gwen had fear, either panicked to face the situation. After a while, Gwen took a deep breath.
"Aldo, we are indeed close, it can be said that we are close friends, familiar. But that's just the extent of our friendship Ald. And I don't think it should be overstated anymore. "ultimately with tightness in the chest, Gwen begins her explanation.
"What do you mean by your words Gwen. Many times have I not spoken, I announce to all the friends in our circle, if you are mine.. No friend would dare to change this relationship, no one would dare to act more on you.. But.., what did your words mean..." Aldo kept trying to catch up. The man's gaze did not want to be separated from Gwen's eyes. Tears that suddenly appeared and pooled in Gwen's eyes, were also clearly visible to the man.
There were about five minutes, the two young people were silent to each other. It was seen that Gwen seemed to be trying to control her emotions, and the current of sadness that she had long hidden, seemed to want to spill at this moment. But for a moment the girl also recalled, it would be a mess of everything, even her future if she opened everything at this moment. Because education in Indonesia, has not been able to accommodate married women or men, attending school at the regular High School level. Except for the C package...
"Huuuh,
"For now Aldo. After we graduate High School, maybe I'll give you an explanation. What is certain is that Aldo threw away the feeling of attraction of a man to a woman for me. You deserve to get another girl who exceeds everything from me. So.. no more trying to claim if I'm yours..." Gwen was silent for a moment.
"But Aldo, we are still friends, we are still friends. I will never forget it, I will always remember it. Be with you. My days we've been through together.." Gwen finally couldn't hold back her tears. The sadness that he had managed to cover up, this afternoon spilled in front of Aldo.
The young man was shocked to see Gwen who looked very down, resigned, and immediately Aldo remembered when the nights Gwen asked him to take her away. At that time, Aldo took Gwen to his papa villa at the top of Bogor, and in the villa, Aldo accompanied the girl to tears and screamed loudly. Under such circumstances, Aldo, who was originally fierce to ask for an explanation from Gwen, suddenly became devastated. Without speaking, Aldo grabbed Gwen and leaned Gwen's head against her chest. A few moments later...
"Well, Gwen, I can't possibly force you to tell a story under these circumstances. I'll let it go this time, but remember Gwen, you owe me an explanation. And all you need to remember is Gwen. No one else will be able to have you." said Aldo firmly, and the sobs of Gwen again sounded.

After School
As soon as the bell of the class marks ended, Gwen immediately rushed to sneak out from inside the classroom. The girl was sure that Aldo would not be able to catch up with her, given the condition of her leg that was still sprained due to the incident last night at Sentul Circuit. From the school gate, Barra saw her husband had waved his hand asking the girl to come to him. Lazily, Gwen walked up to the man.
"I've been out of honey class for a long time waiting for you here.." Barra called Gwen honey. The name was heard by several people who stood around the man. Gwen opened her eyes to hear the courage of her husband, and immediately pulled Barra's hand and took her towards the car not far from the place.
"Blammmm..." Gwen quickly closed the Porsche door when the girl came inside. Some people are staring with envy at the appearance of a luxury car that there are only two seeds in Indonesia.
"It doesn't matter, brother, can Barra just pay attention to the situation if he calls Gwen. There will be no agreement, if Gwen will continue school until it is finished. It's not that easy, brother, calling Gwen with a honey call, to be honest... Gwen felt uncomfortable hearing it." Gwen finally expressed her feelings.
Barra smiled at Gwen's expression of annoyance, but when he recalled the status held by his wife, Barra finally became speechless. Though inwardly, the grown man did not agree to it.
"Yes already. if indeed I'm wrong sorry honey... Every time you go to school, or when you're with your friends, I'll call you by your name. But when we're just the two of you, wherever you can't change my calling to you. Do you agree honey.." eventually the man responded to a request from his wife.
Gwen turned to the right, and so did Barra. The couple looked at each other, and finally, Gwen nodded her head. Barra immediately stepped on the gas pedal of the car, and slowly the car moved away from that place.

The Gateway of The Intercultural School
Without Barra and Gwen noticing, angry eyes were seen at the gates of The Intercultural School. Asep and Raffi who were accompanying Aldo, stood staring at the Porsche car that was walking away from the school.
"Hemmmphh.had Ald.., it may have been the man of Gwen's distant family, who was asked to accompany Gwen at home. We know, no, that Om Andrew was in Singapore, and Atmadja's grandfather returned to Japan to see the colleuga. Due to graduation preparations, as well as the Olympics, Gwen's family gave her strict supervision." Raffi tried to calm Aldo who was filled with anger.
"That's what Raffi said... Aldo's.." Asep is strengthening, too,
"I suspect it wasn't Raff's relationship... Seps.. The look of the grown man as he looked at me, as if there was anger and a ban on getting close to Gwen. And lately Gwen's been dodging, too, if I've been trying to fish out what the girl's really hiding to us." but it's not easy to influence Aldo. The man persisted in his stance.
"Yes, but we go home first. There's no point in standing here either, tomorrow after Gwen returns from America, we'll find out what's going on.." Asep finally invited his best friend to come back.
Finally after sighing, Aldo immediately walked towards the family car that had picked him up. Asep and Raffi relented, they deliberately accompanied Aldo so that the young man was not troubled.
