My Love Sleeping Beauty's
The Three Times

It has been 3 months of Martha lived her days in Sydney, Australia. Now he is listed as a School student majoring in Law and Business. Thanks to the persuasion of Danang and Amel as well as the help of Mother, she finally accepted the gift of her brother. Maratha lives in the Flat that her brother Danang and Amel bought. He tried to resist, but he had no other choice.

*Flashback On

"No need, Mom. Ma'am." refused, Maretha looked at them in turn.

He sighed softly, "Part of campus is also ready for dormitory. So Mas Danang and Mbak Amel do not have to bother buying flats for me."angnya again and make his two brothers moody face.

Mommy pulls Maretha's hands gently, "Mother is more relieved if you live in the house that your sister bought, son."

"You will be far from us, if you stay there Mother can be calmer because there are guards". Add Bunda made Martha urung refuse the gift of her brother.

Martha exhaled slowly, "Yes already that way. But I can invite friends to stay together" he agreed.

"Of course I can. The apartment also has two rooms. And there is a guard, his name is Mr. Jhon. We've entrusted you with him and his family who live downstairs." Obviously Amel was happy that Martha finally accepted her gift.

Off* Flashback*

At first Mareth has little trouble staying away from the people he loves. Fortunately, there was Mr. Jhon and his wife who always faithfully helped him. Of course, Lisda became his friend. Although Lisda is a little jutek and looks arrogant but the Maretha is comfortable living with him.

Lisda is not a rich person and not a poor person. Lisda's parents are well-to-do and are also employees who work at her best friend's Vena family company. So Lisda felt overwhelmed, at least reducing the cost of her stay.

Martha knocked on the door of Lisda's room which opened a little "Tok.. Geck...."

"Lis, I made fried rice on the table" he said. Lisda was still busy with her laptop working on her college assignment, "Hemm.." she replied without taking her eyes off.

A mischievous idea pops up in the head of Martha to disturb her friend who is always serious. "Tock...Heck..!" knock again. But Lisda still stays with her laptop.

"I am first because there is a morning lecture" he said.

"Hem.." replied Lisda without turning his head. Martha smiled suspiciously. "Tock....Geck...Geck... Heck...!" tap it many times which disturbs Lisda's seriousness. "WHAT THE HELL, RE! Disturbingly,"This time Lisda closed her laptop and stared intently at Maretha while holding back her emotions.

"Once you are serious about the task" he replied accompanied by giggling.

Lisda folded her hands together with a wry and angry face in Martha. "Later don't forget to eat the fried rice. I purposely made it for you." He said again in a joking tone.

Lisda looked at him sharply, "Remember being eaten yes!," and then threw the love pillow at the already blurred Mareth. "Yes baffles!"his reply.

"I say yes, Assalamualaikum!,"!His shout ran away before getting a tantrum from Lisda because it had disturbed the calmness of his best friend.

Lisda got up from her seat and walked towards the dining table. His mood this morning to complete the task was broken because it was deliberately disturbed by Mareth. "Morning has been angered by Rere making me a laper" she rubbed her stomach.

Lisda pulled out a chair and took a spoon. Before he ate the fried rice made by Mareth, he smelled its delicious aroma. Then he ate it, "Hem, it tastes good at home," he thought after eating the fried rice Maretha.

Lisda always praises and recognizes the delicious Mareth cuisine. And this was not the first time he tasted it. "Basic yes, child. His behavior made me a laper early in the morning" he said.

Since living with Lisda, Mareth has known that her friend has ulcer disease. But Lisda likes to talk to other people. If not forced like that, maybe Lisda will forget to eat breakfast when she has ulcer disease

Lisda smiled wryly, "I love you so much, Re. You're the most caring and understanding friend I've ever had" he said.

At 11:30 Sydney time, Mareth was out of class. He tidied up his books and carried them and walked out of class. Martha walked down the campus corridor while holding the book in her left hand and holding her phone in her right hand. He opened his phone and there were a lot of messages coming in

**From: Dear Mother

From : Vein

Re, how? Have you met my friend there**?

From: Mas Danang

Re, I want to tell you the same. Madam Amel is now pregnant and you have a bangonakan.

Martha was engrossed in reading the message and smiled to herself after reading it. Until he didn't see someone walking in the opposite direction.

BUGH!!

He bumped into someone again and his body almost fell. But the man's hand pulled him so he smashed into his chest.

"Geez, my nose hurts!," he grimaced holding his nose.

"Hi, are you okay!," said the person with a heavy voice that sounded sexy.

Martha had not noticed, she kept her body away from the man because the scent of the male perfume was very masculine and fresh making her chest palpitate a little.

Martha lowered her head and crouched down to pick up her falling books. The man helped him pick up his books.

"This is your books" said the man giving the book to Mareth. Martha took it and raised her face to look at the man. "Thank you!" he said.

"She's look very beautiful. She's smile very nice and I'm very love it. What is she an angel"the inner

"Wow this guy is really cool, and his scent is fresh and masculine. How can I be gini deg-degan ya" Praise Maratha in heart.

They misbehave and throw one another's eyes in any direction. Martha wanted to walk. "Wait!" said the man, stopping his steps. Martha took a few steps back and now stood in front of the man.

He tucked his hair in his ears even though his hair was not too long. But that was all he could do to disguise his awkwardness in front of the man.

"I'm sorry" said the man sticking out his hand.

"I'm Umbara. You can call Bara, from Indonesia," he said again introduced himself.

Martha returned her hand with a smile, "Maretha. My Friends call me Rere,"he replied.

"Did you know, your smile make me die"Ambara's heart saw Maretha's smile

Maretha smiled knotfully, "I'm also Indonesian" he replied.

They were still shaking hands, and Umbara was still reluctant to get rid of her eyes to look at the beautiful Marethah especially with her distinctive smile that shut off her blood circulation.

"I'm sorry if my hand is taken off" said Martha in a slightly loud voice.

Umbara misbehaved her hands while laughing wryly and scratching her nape. "Oh yeah sorry," he said awkwardly.

"Can I go?" he again gestured for Umbara to give him a way.

"Eh, Ah, Yes, please. Sorry," he said again looking ridiculous.

"Cmon Bar, you're silly. This isn't the first time you've met her. And this isn't the first time you've met a pretty girl" she said.

Umbara gives way to Maratha. And when Mareth had gone further he had a little run after her.

"Re, wait!," he called as he ran after Martha. And he stopped and turned briefly to the source of the voice.

"What's the matter?" asked Martha frowning.

Umbara moistened her lips, "You want to go to the campus cafe right!," he guessed and replied a nod by Martha.

"Kok, you know? Have you been studying here for a long time?" wondered Martha began to melt the atmosphere.

"Lumayan long time, now it's the fifth semester." he replied and immediately made Martha surprised.

"I'm sorry, brother!," he said, feeling disrespectful for calling you.

"I'm sorry?"

"For what?" asked Umbara confusedly.

Martha bit her lower lip, "I don't know if Kak Bara is fifth semester. Kirain is like me," a little embarrassed.

Umbara shook his hand, "No problem. On this campus there is no seniority, Beda like the campuses in Indonesia that always have seniority." he and Maretha hit Umbara's shoulder slowly. "Sister Bara can be a mandingin", with a smile.

"Sir Bara wants to go to Cafe jug," asked Martha plain. "Yup, it's noon. Lagian lecture was also not there." he turned his head and noticed the typical smile of the girl beside him.

They also walked together to the cafe on campus. They sat by the window and ordered drinks and food for their lunch.

They begin the conversation with small questions. Until finally Umbara said if Mareth had hit his chest three times.

"Oh yeah Re, you know you've hit my chest three times" she said, pointing her finger.

Maratha who was temporarily sipping her Greentea Lattenya choked, "Uhuk, Uhuk"

then he set his breath, "So, sis, how can I not remember?" frowned while recalling a possibly unintentional encounter.

Umbara sipped her Hot Coffee Machiato, "Yes, the first of which happened a few months ago. When the entrance exam is here. When I accidentally hit you and then hit my chest, then you want to sniff but it makes you want to fall like that so I pulled you you you hit the chest. And just as you were complaining your nose hurt." Umbara recounts the first time she met with Martha.

"really?" tanyanya still could not believe but tried to remember.

"Yes, I just remembered now. So the wakfu is Brother Bara who hit me,"Maretha just remembered the incident that was told to her friends.

"I wanted to chase you, but you seemed to be in a hurry. And also at that time I was called the same lecturer, so did not have time to ask your name." he added again.

"Hem, bay the way you live alone?," asked Umbara curiously.

Martha was still with her trademark smile that was always cheerful and calm, "No. I live with my fellow Indonesians. Her name is Lisda the son of Science,"His answer is steady.

Eventually their conversation got longer. Umbara people are engrossed and the carrier is also relaxed so it makes Martha easy to get along. You could say Umbara reminded Maratha the figure of Mas Danang who made her feel protected even though she was new to know. Umbara's adult attitude also makes Martha more comfortable talking to him.

Though the character of Martha is not too open and quite difficult to adapt especially with men. But it was different with Umbara that made him feel comfortable.

With a long consideration, finally Maratha gave her mobile number to Umbara.

"I'm anterin home, shall I?"tawar Umbara.

"No, my brother, I also still have a little business" he refused to lie.

Martha did not want to get too close to men. He realized he had talked too much with Umbara.

"Yes next time, I anter ya!," said Umbara slightly disappointed. Martha simply replied with a smile.

"Duuuh you can't keep smiling. I could die suddenly if gini"inya again.

"I'm sorry brother!" his camel then walked away from Umbara

At the first meeting Umbara had fallen in love with Martha. Since that day he has been trying to find out about Maretha. But today's meeting wasn't on purpose. And after this day Umbara continued to pursue Martha.
