I'm Still in High School
Chapter 9 SAH
Towards the morning, Aldo stopped the motorbike in front of the gates of the Atmadja family mansion. Gwen got off the bike, and Aldo held onto both of the girl's shoulders and then held Gwen's chin. People who do not know, will definitely think if the two of them have a relationship as a couple. But it was never the topic of discussion and conversation of the two young people.
"Gwen, whatever your problem, don't run to the wrong person. Whenever, call me to take you or accompany you, I will always be ready. Never be sad, and be down on whatever happens to you, you must be strong to deal with it.." Before Aldo left, the man said a few words to Gwen.
The young man had no idea what kind of problem his best friend was currently facing, so he could still tell to calm Gwen's feelings. And Gwen, too, was closed not to tell the problem that is currently pressing her family.
"I went in first Ald. Thank you for tonight. I enjoyed it so much. and wish I could still enjoy the atmosphere again like last night at a later time, with you." Gwen's words seemed to lift Aldo up into the air, which is perceived by the man, if Gwen has more feelings for him.
Aldo was still on his bike, until Gwen entered the gate that the guard had opened. After making sure Gwen entered, Aldo then turned the right handlebars down, and the Ducati immediately darted away from the front street of Gwen's house.

Inside the house
Gwen was shocked when she entered the house, but the clock still showed at 04.00 wib, but the lights were shining brightly. And how shocked again, when with a blank and angry look, Om Andrew was still sitting on the chair leading to the door of his room. It seemed that the young man had deliberately not slept and was waiting for him, and upon seeing Gwen's arrival, Andrew was seen taking a deep breath.
"For Om.., have not slept, or are still deliberately waiting for Gwen to come home.." Gwen, who had regained her emotions and consciousness, coldly asked her late father's sister.
"Thank God if you know Gwen enough, Om can no longer speak to tell you. At your current age, Om already thinks you've stepped into adulthood, and surely my nephew can sort out what's right, and what's wrong" Andrew said calmly, I don't know what the man really felt.
"Emmmph-a..." Gwen responded briefly.
"Enter the room, rest for a moment. The event will be held at eight o'clock in the morning, Om hope you can please grandfather and Om, and be willing to obey the will of grandfather.." hear the words spoken from the lips of Om Andrew, who is not happy, gwen's chest was pounding again. But visibly, Gwen was stronger and ready to face him.The girl took a deep breath, and after preparing while looking at her Om, Gwen instead walked away from the man, and, and went straight into his room.
"Gwen's pretty nephew Om. I'm sorry if grandpa and Om's request has hurt your heart. But someday you will know, and understand good intentions. Om has been too busy with business, so can't take care of you Gwen. Barra is a good man, although his heart this time is still sick and hurt because of women, Barra is perfect for you.." Andrew muttered softly, staring at the door of his nephew's room.
Looking at the clockwise, Andrew then stood up and walked towards his room. The man looked relieved, seeing that his nephew had already returned.
*************
Without being able to express sadness and disappointment, Gwen who was already wearing party clothes and had done makeup by make up artists, came down from the stairs upstairs, accompanied by Bi Surti. All who were in the middle room, looked astonished at the beauty of the girl. Gwen who was used to tomboyish looks, and always wore casual clothes, this time had already changed like a princess who had just come down from kahyangan. The girl's innocent face, covered in make up perfectly.. Even Barra, who seemed to be wearing a suit, seemed agape at the beauty of the girl he was about to marry.
"Sit next to my granddaughter's grandfather... Andrew picked Gwen up.." with a bright face, Atmadja's grandfather asked Gwen to sit next to him.
Without answering, Andrew immediately acted. The young man immediately stood up, then picked up his beloved nephew, then hugged and led to a seat beside his grandfather. Not many were present at the event, because it was to protect the status of Gwen who was still a high school boy. Everyone also thought that Gwen would be threatened to be expelled from school if she was found to be married. Even to pay for the KUA to legalize the marriage, the Atmadja family had to spend a lot of money, and also had to meet many requirements.
"You are ready my grandson.." in a soft voice, Atmadja asked her grandson. Gwen just stared at the face of the grandfather who had been nurturing her since her parents died, with a blank look. Andrew could not see the sight, tears welled up in his eyes, and Barra gave a tissue to him, patting him on the shoulder.
"Thank you." said Andrew in a hoarse voice.
Since there was no reaction from Gwen, who had no idea what the girl had in mind, Atmadja's grandfather and Chandra's grandfather smiled and looked at each other. Not long after, it appeared that two people from the KUA side came, then were welcome to sit in front of Barra and his family.
"Can it begin..?" the officer from KUA asked in a friendly voice,
"Already pak pengulu. all are ready to be implemented. For the purposes of dowry, and others are also complete we prepare.." said Atmadja with a vibrating voice.
The scene this morning is like carrying the memory of the old man, when he married the father of Gwen, Jack and the girl's mother. This time, though without careful planning, they would have prepared the girl's wedding.
"All right, please all testify, who are the guardians of Gwen and witnesses of Barra. Please sit in front of me.." the penghulu immediately arranged the placement of the guardians and witnesses.
Gwen just kept quiet like she was lifeless, from her expression was unpredictable what she was feeling at the moment. The words of the ruler are like a sound that goes into the right ear, and out of the left ear. Likewise with Barra, perhaps for some reason, or perhaps because of the age factor that was very mature, the young man also calmly followed the procession.
"All marriage contract proceedings have been concluded, whether this morning's marriage between Miss Gwen Elvaretta and Mr. Barra Xavier Gibran can be declared valid." at the end of the procession, there was the sound of the ruler asking everyone present.
"SAH.." Hearing the three letters spoken by all the witnesses, the guardian, Gwen already remembered nothing. The girl had already fallen backwards, on the back of the chair she was sitting on.
