It was not easy for Umbara to catch up and seek the attention of a Maretha Septin Aura. The girl with a smile that makes her heart beat unhealthy, with hazel eyes that are a little gray in color she is Indonesian. Either that eye he got from who doesn't know. A simple girl who is plain, but smart, does not talk too much but once talking can be ugly. Umbara continues to fight in order to conquer the heart of Martha, because on this campus not only he who likes Maretha. But there were a few other men who liked the girl.
Tomorrow there is a meeting of the Indonesian Student Association in Melbourne, Australia. Of course Umbara made this moment to be closer to Martha,
"Re, tomorrow you join the HMI meeting in Melbourne?,"he asked as he laid his ass on the bench next to the campus garden that Maretha always used to read books.
"Hem" he answered without looking. He was still struggling with the book he read.
"You want to go together? It just so happened that I was alone,"he asked, hoping that Maretha would nod in approval to his invitation.
Martha closed her book and now turned her head for a while towards Umbara who was sitting next to her. "I also don't know if you really want to come or not. Tomorrow there is also business with Mrs. Lenny at the Library." then a slow breath was still accompanied by his distinctive smile.
They were silent to each other with their own thoughts. Umbara could not possibly not attend the event because he himself was the representative chairman of this campus. Then Lisda came to them.
"Gue disturb no?," asked Lisda glancing at the still empty bench next to Maretha.
Martha looked at the source of the voice, "No, no," she answered and shifted her seat until she got closer to Umbara.
Lisda offered mineral water to Mareth, "Sapa lo haus, Re."tidarnya and immediately taken and he drank it. "Thanks," he said, closing the lid and returning the half-filled bottle to Lisda beside him.
"Re, come yuk to the HMI event tomorrow. I have no friends!," persuaded Lisda to hold Maretha's hand and suddenly make Umbara glare.
"Thank you Lisda, you've helped me even though accidentally. May Martha go"she heard Lisda's invitation.
Martha thought, "Come on, Re. Tomorrow's event with Mrs. Lenny is not so really" urged Lisda again that makes Umbara's heart more happy.
"You know where the show went with Mrs. Lenny isn't so?" Martha frowned.
Lisda gave her foot on the campus park bench, "So before I came here I met Mrs. Lenny he info if tomorrow's event is not so he said he has a family event. That's why I came here to tell you," Lisda replied explaining.
"Some of us have never been on vacation, Re. itung-itung if we go to Melbourne all holidays aja this Weekend," asked Lisda again. Martha thought, she was silent then nodded her head in agreement. "Can, but we go up there on what? If you want to join the bus with the others will be full," he added make Lisda a little manyun.
"Bareng I just if you want," said Umbara who had listened to them. This time Martha glanced at Umbara, "What's up?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Tomorrow the plan to bring your own car anyway, trus emang I also do not have the winner. If you come, it means that I am not lonely tomorrow" replied Umbara happily because finally Martha wanted to come too.
"May we leave now so tomorrow is not too late!," Lisda was excited.
Martha pulled out Lisda's hand, "Wait a minute," and Lisda sat back in her place. "Is there anything else, Martha?" start jutek.
"We haven't signed up yet" he replied and Lisda patted her on the eel. "Yes right. Forgetting," he said.
"It's about the easy list, wait for me to call the list!," Umbara then pulled his phone out of his pants pocket and contacted someone.
"Hello, this is Bara!,"
"I want to add 2 more people for tomorrow's activities at HMI,"
"Maretha Septin Aura same as Lisda Priscilla second semester son"
"Maybe I'm in the car with you,"
"Okay, thank you!" he said, then hung up.
Umbara returned to where the two girls were. "I have registered, now we are ready. Because the others are also on the road he said." Bring along.
Before Lisda and Martha left, Umbara offered to drive them home. At first, Mareth refuses, but Lisda forces him.
"Sister Bara wait for a moment, I'm the same Lisda want to prepare first," said Martha after putting a glass of syrup for Umbara waiting.
Half an hour for Umbara to wait for them, and they set out together. Martha asked Mr. Jhon for permission to leave for a few days.
The opportunity for Umbara to approach Maretha. During the trip Mareth sat beside Umbara who was driving the car. Then Lisda sat in the passenger seat.
Throughout the journey Lisda noticed Umbara's attitude which often steal a glance to Martha. Especially when Maretha fell asleep, Umbara noticed every curve of her face and occasionally put away her small hair.
Umbara did not feel that Lisda was paying attention to his behavior. Because according to him Lisda was only focused on the thick book she brought.
After the HMI activities took place they enjoyed a friendly dinner and dinner arranged by the committee.
Umbara is enjoying the campfire with Leon, and Romi. Lisda who had just come from the toilet approached Umbara.
"Excuse me, may I speak to Brother Bara for a moment?," he said with a serious look despite the obstructing glasses.
Leon and Romi go to the cafe near their place. Lisda sat in a chair in front of Umbara that had been occupied by Leon.
"Can't I ask you something?" he asked, starting a conversation
"Byeah" replied Unbara with a nod.
Lisda sighed softly, "Sister Bara likes it same Rere?," to the point without any further ado.
Umbara who just wanted to pluck the strings of the guitar stopped. Then turned his eyes to Lisda.
"A lot of caution?" he said.
"Gue thought you weren't watching me," he again began to misbehave.
Lisda just smiled. "Gue has been feeling since Kak Bara often anter or pick up Rere. But during the trip I was more convinced that Kak Bara love with Rere," he explained.
Lisda wants to move on, "Yes I just want to ask it to Brother Bara."
Umbara held her back, "Wait!," Lisda sat back in her place.
Umbara thought for a moment, "Lo want to help me not?," his eyebrows fused together.
"Help make it?," Lisda raised next to her eyebrows.
Umbara put the guitar next to him. He changed his sitting position to be closer to Lisda in front of him.
"Help me closer to Rere," he looked seriously.
"Not Brother Bara is already deket yes same Rere,"timpalnya.
Umbara scratched his non-itchy head, "It's not like that. I mean help me so Rere is sensitive to my feelings. Because of his plan I want to realize my love is the same as him."honestly expectantly.
"How is it?"he asked plainly and made Umbara a little frustrated.
"That's why I helped you, Lisda!"he said he started to grow angry with Lisda's attitude.
"Don't want to help, brother. But I don't know about love either. But if Brother Bara asks to be taught to count, I must be jabanin."he explained honestly.
Umbara is getting frustrated. The closest friend to Maratha was only Lisda. So who else would want to help him to pry into the feeling of Martha who is like Mount Everest. Tall and hard to conquer.
"But I know the closest guy to Rere is just Kak Bara deh besides Mas Danang of course" said Lisda restore the spirit of Umbara.
"Seriously lo?," This time Umbara fixed his seat.
Lisda nodded steadily, "Yes."
"And all I know is that Kak Bara is often in the same response Rere. The other guys are just dicuekin tuh." added Lisda again increasingly established himself.
"Lo sure?," asked Umbara again reassuring himself.
They were silent to each other with their own thoughts. "You think if I actually feel the same as him, not accepted?," this time Umbara more serious.
Lisda smiled, "Too about that I don't know brother, but it's okay if Bara wants to try. At least we'll know how Rere feels about Bara." Lisda gave advice.
Umbara felt that what Lisda said was true. If she had never tried, she would never have known how Martha felt to her. Because Martha is very difficult to guess especially if it is related to feelings.
Lisda and Umbara planned to express Umbara's feelings in Mareth, "Sir Bara said it simply. Rere also does not like the same excessive, arentar that there is even ilfil with Kak Bara," suggested Lisda
"Keep what should I do?," asked Umbara feeling puzzled.
Lisda thought, she held onto her chin by pinching it using her index finger and thumb. Umbara looked seriously.
"Gue doesn't know either. I think Bara knows better."
"Gue can only help with that info. The rest, Brother Bara, is a plan. I definitely support it," added again and then moved on.
Lisda walked away from Umbara and sat back in front of Mareth who was still busy with her novel.
Lisda pulled the chair in front of Maretha and landed her butt well. Maretha's view is still focused on the line of letters in her hand.
"What do you talk about? Seriously very?," asked Martha without taking her eyes off.
Lisda placed both elbows on the table and cupped her drinking glass with both hands. "Nothing, just talking about tomorrow. Want to go home again", he replied.
Maratha closed her novel and turned to look towards Lisda. "Then what did he say?" wanted to know.
"Can. He said it's because we went with him. So Bara's brother is also responsible for our departure safely." There was a reddish hue on Mareth's cheeks.
He smiled brightly, "Cok that happy? Do you like it with Brother Bara?," Lisda teased him and managed to make Maretha blush.
"N-no. Ordinary," he answered deliberately to hide his reddened face from embarrassment.
"It's normal, but the coke of his expression is so." added Lisda again.
Martha felt an irregular heartbeat as Umbara walked closer to them.
"Oh yes tomorrow we go home from breakfast at 8," he said. His eye bead caught a typical smile from Maratha.
"Oh my God, could my heart ache if he kept smiling like that" he said.
"Thank you, brother," she said, looking down and smiling sweetly.
"Thank you for what?" she asked seriously.
Martha regulated her breathing and calmed her heartbeat."Thanks for everything. For all the attention and kindness of Brother Bara." he answered accordingly.
Umbara frowned, "Oh okay. Same."he said then turned around. But the tip of her eyes glanced at Lisda to give a gesture.
Lisda gave him a thumbs up as a gesture that everything was in order.
