The Intercultural School
Arriving in Indonesia, Aldo lethargic accompanied by Asep and Raffi Back to running the routine of his days at school. Since they had already completed the Graduation Exam, and some had already taken the college entrance examination, there were already not many activities like back then. The class seems lonely without Gwen in the classroom, and the three young people close the information meeting if Gwen already has a husband,
„Aldo.. so you see yes, when Gwen got the championship trophy at the Olympics held in New York.” Novi's eyes seemed to shine, as well, since then the girl has been staring in amazement at the trophy and Gwen's certificate of victory to be documented at school.
„Hempph... if Aldo and we are not there, how can what you see it be in this class Nov... Certainly, wherever Aldo will always be there for Gwen.” Asep responds to Novi's question.
“Hi. hi... true also you Sep... You are very lucky to get a miracle visit to New York, after last month accompanied Aldo to Singapore. Try it me, surely I will be traveling around Europe all.” Novi chimed in Asep's answer.
A look of envy and admiration was seen in the girl's eyes, as well as in the eyes of classmates Aldo and Asep. They know how close the two young people are, because wherever Aldo goes, Asep must always provide services to the young man, he said,
„Not only you Nov. But yeah, not our hockey. Raffi and Asep who get hockey to accompany Aldo. But.. by the way., why didn't Gwen come home with you guys.. Didn't Gwen have to finish the diploma and others, then can go from Indonesia.” from her seat, Robert commented, then,
Asep was silent at once hearing the question, would explain but was afraid of being mistaken. The young man glanced at Raffi, and the boy only shrugged his two shoulders upwards. Then finally, Asep tried to ask Aldo for help to answer questions from their friends.
“Many ways in this era of technology to take care of the exit of diplomas. I'm sure Gwen and her family have thought about and prepared them. The reason Gwen did not come back with us, because the girl had to take a competency test to be able to enter a college in Finland. We don't need to think about it, let alone feel envious of the girl's luck.” Finally Aldo answered the question posed by Robert,
But there was a crisp feeling from the answer he gave off. Just want to keep protecting and maintaining the good name of the girl he loves, which is the reason for the young man. After answering, Aldo's vision went blank again, and the young man went back to daydreaming.
“Raffi.. I've seen since the kid came in this morning, more daydreaming and sleeping in
his desk. Even when the break bell rang, Aldo who is usually the most excited headed to *food court, *become more lazy..” realizing Aldo's changed attitude, Alana nudged Raffi, asking about Aldo.
“Nothing Lan... Aldo was just a mere achievement, filled air travel almost two days trip, very tired Al body.. We did too, but because there was a diploma signer, we finally came to school.” without mentioning Gwen in the slightest, Raffi answered Alana's question, saying,
The girl glanced back at the man she loved, but Aldo did not pay any attention to her. Finally the girl only took a deep breath, and could only look at Aldo with admiration in her heart,
The days passed, and the graduation process was finally completed. After asking for the consideration of his father and mother, Aldo chose the University of Helinsky to continue his studies. Until now, Aldo still can not forget Gwen. The young man couldn't believe that Gwen was married, and hoped that what he heard in New York was just a joke. By following where the girl went, the young man finally felt steady to continue his studies in Finland.
“You will keep me company Sep.. Don't worry, as long as you are by my side, papa will finance all expenses and will also bear the cost of your studies. Because I'm not easy to be able to socialize with new people, so you have to accompany me Sep.” Aldo asked for reassurance from his best friend.
Asep was speechless, the young man was confused. It was not the fear of lack of money or anything, but the young man thought whether his parents would let him go to Aldo.
„How Asep... we must immediately fill out the application form online. I will at the same time order papa employees to register a lecture on your behalf as well.” Aldo kept pressing.
“Hempph... well Aldo, for the sake of my ambitions and future, I will follow you as well. Your family has been very good to me and also my brother Ald. There is no way I have the courage to turn down this good offer and opportunity.” finally after a moment of silence, he said, Asep agreed to the invitation from his best friend.
A smile rose on Aldo's lips to hear his friend's ability. Aitu's young son then took a formular that had been printed out, then handed it to Asep.
“Read and fill in this form first.. Don't forget to sign it, then we'll scan it and send it online to papa's people. We just have to wait for the acceptance letter, and at the same time prepare for our departure.. Thank you Sep... You were always there for me.” Asep was shocked when he heard Aldo thank him.
„Aldo... Don't sarcasm like that .. I should be the one to thank you. How Mr. Firman and Aunt Helene, without seeing anything, always paid for my family. My school and also my sister Laela were also borne by him.” Asep became embarrassed by that thank you. The young man immediately chimed in the words of Aldo.
„Already..no need to think who helped who Asep.. Fill in immediately, and scan all the letters in front of you. I'll eat first.. and if you're done, follow me immediately at the dinner table.” Aldo then stood up and walked leaving Asep alone in the living room.
After Aldo left, Asep took a deep breath. But not long after, the young man was already immersed in the dossier that had to be equipped in front of him. Asep took a major in Architecture, the same choice as Barra. Both young people really like to draw designs, and their Architecture majors consider representing their current hobbies.
“Sgratitude.. finally finished also my work this time.. „ a few moments finally look Asep smiling satisfied. The young man immediately tidied up the scattered remnants of paper, then piled them into one. After seeing everything was neat, Asep then walked towards the dining room to catch up with Aldo.
