I'm Still in High School
Chapter 8 Express Your Grief at the Full Moon
Gwen was surprised, the girl screamed and looked disrespectful in front of the parents. Andrew, who sat beside his nephew, calmed Gwen down, and the man held her niece's chauffeur. But Bara looked more relaxed, with absolutely no expression or reaction on the man's face. Not knowing if this expression of his was the same as the expression of his cold heart and achu.
"Gwennn.... do you want to make Grandpa nakk happy..??? How many more in this world, if God wills, maybe after this event, grandfather can also go home and will not be with you again. Uhukk.. Gwen's.. Your time will not grant it.." grandfather Atmadja spoke slowly.
The girl was silent, she seemed to lose her balance. Gwen was sitting limp with her back resting on the back of the chair she was sitting on,. He could no longer react to anything, other than silence. When Gwen tries to find refuge in her Om, Andew just smiles and looks her eyes as if to accept her grandfather's offer,
"How about you Barra.., do you want to obey papa? After you get married, the responsibility to educate and direct Gwen is still innocent to you... Your age cannot be said to be young, nor can Andrew.. It's time for the two of you to get married, and don't put it off anymore." Chandra's grandfather asked his son Barra, and also touched Barra's name.
"Hemmpph, as Barra had said in the pa's house, whatever papa's will, Barra would follow him," Barra only commented following the flow.
"Well, the main thing here is Barra is ready, and Gwen has no other choice. We'll arrange the wedding soon, before Barra and Andrew go back overseas. While Gwen continued to attend school until graduation, and would follow Barra anywhere." Feeling that there was agreement, Atmadja's grandfather made the decision,
Hearing his grandfather's decision, Gwen stood up and immediately ran to his room. As Andrew was about to catch up with the girl, Atmadja's grandfather's hand was raised forbidding his son to follow his nephew.
"Let your niece Andrew. At most she's just picking up. Understand that at that age, you have not been able to distinguish between good and wrong.."
Everyone fell silent again, then continued the wedding preparations. And unbeknownst to Gwen, in the next two days, the wedding between her and Barra will be held.

A few moments later
Goalless, Gwen was behind Aldo. In silence the man continued to ride his Ducati motorcycle, with Gwen hugging his waist and leaning her head on his back. The young man was also shocked, when Gwen suddenly contacted him, and asked him to pick her up in the driveway of Gwen's house. Whereas usually, if there is Om Andrew and also his grandfather, Gwen would forbid anyone to come to his house. This time, however, Gwen invited him herself.
"Where is our goal Gwen... Do you have any ideas?" Aldo asked slowly, while reducing the speed of the motor. The man also felt confused since earlier, because Gwen came out to see him looking rushed, and it was seen if the girl was crying. Not wanting to intervene much, Aldo let him and immediately invited the girl to go follow him.
"Don't know Aldo, I just want to express my frustration and bad luck today Ald." said Gwen sobbing.
Hearing the girl behind him cry again, Aldo silently gave no response. There was no talk afterwards, and the motorbike the young man was riding instead walked up, and this time they had reached Cisarua Bogor. The Ducati kept going up, and into a small road that only the bike could go through. After a while of driving...
Cold air blew, and seeing Gwen cold, Aldo took off his leather jacket and placed it on the girl's back. Since Gwen was still silent, Aldo immediately brought the girl inside. There are two ARTs that welcome the arrival of the two young people.
"Good night, Mr. Aldo. tumben came to the villa at night, sir, and did not tell you before." ART looked nervously greeting her master.
"Hemmph..prepare hot drinks for us." Aldo immediately invited Gwen to sit on the sofa in the middle room.
"Gwen, I don't know what your problem is tonight, and I don't want to know that it forces you to tell stories. If you want a place to lie down, after drinking you can rest in my papa villa. Sleep in the guest room.." Aldpo spoke slowly to Gwen. But the girl simply shook her head, looking like a confused child and having no way out.
Fortunately, from the kitchen, ART brought two hot drinks in a large cup to them. After ART laid on the table, Aldo took one of the glasses, then gave it to the girl.
"Sum a few sips of Gwen first, so that your esophagus and stomach become warm, After that I will take you somewhere, and then I will take you somewhere, in that place you can put out all the emotions or thoughts that are stuck in your brain.." Gwen then took a glass from Aldo's hand, then a few sips of Gwen drank the warm water. There was a warm liquid that felt flowing through the esophagus, then down to the chest and stomach, exactly what Aldo said.
Upon seeing Gwen put the glass back on the table, Aldo immediately stood up and pulled Gwen's hand to have the girl follow him. With resignation, Gwen followed Aldo and it turned out that the young man invited the girl to go up the stairs of the upper room. But arriving at the top, Aldo took Gwen to the back, then the man opened the back door. There is a spot overgrown with the original grass, and apparently the second floor of the villa is connected to a small hill behind it. The full moon is clearly visible, it seems to illuminate the place.
"Come Gwen. No one will hear it, let the light of the full moon carry away your sorrow and grief." in a soft voice, Aldo took Gwen screaming.
The girl did not immediately do what the young man asked her to do, Gwen just looked at Aldo's face. But the man smiled, then nodded his head. Suddenly Aldo spread out his arms, and looked up at the sky and the moon above him.
"Aaaaaaaawwwwww....., aaaaaawww......." Aldo suddenly cried out a long cry, and the voice echoed and bounced. After doing so, the youngster turned his head around looking at Gwen.
"Imitate Gwen. Believe me, your heart will feel calmer. If you want to cry, cry." continued Aldo while holding both shoulders of the girl,
"Aaaaawww.. aaaaaawww... aaaaawww..... hiks..." repeatedly, Gwen finally did what Aldo taught her, and last time Gwen cried sobbing and sniffling, she said,
Seeing the girl's sadness, Aldo immediately approached and carried the girl into his arms. Like lovers, under the light of the full moon, on the hill a couple of young people hugged tightly, and,
