Bedouin Girl Bunian

Chapter 12

Airin eagerly wanted to come to the market again with her mother. Well because in his dream last night he met Damar who had helped him when pursued by the Orx. Who wants to make Airin as a tumbar to increase its strength.

The Orx nation is a nation that is the enemy of the Bunian nation. Orx beings have a human-like posture. And it is like a shadow. If the shadow can not be touched, different from the Orx nation that can be touched.

"Let's love we go" Aisyah said to her daughter. As usual, they went to the market using a train.

"Mother, Airin take a walk there for a while huh" said Airin to his mother.

"Searching me?" Tegur Damar from behind. Airin. A sweet smile was engraved on the lips of the girl.

"The room" said he smiled. Well the girl was getting gobsmacked at Damar. In her dream Damar had saved her.

They sat back by the river where they used to hang out there.

It was very desirable for the girl to ask about her dream to Damar. But he was confused where to start. Airin is not too sure whether Damar also experienced the dream. In a dream it is just a sleeping flower for every human being. Airin was still confused to ask Damar.

"What's up Airin? It seems like there is something you are hiding and want you to ask me" Damar said when he saw the girl next to him was confused.

"Hm.... Actually I want to ask you something. But I was confused where to say it from" said Airin.

"What do you want to ask about?"

"Hmmm..." Airin was still hesitant to tell her what she was going through.

"Look, last night you were present in my dream. You have helped me from the pursuit of the black shadow that has been terrorizing me every night. There you say of the Orx and mixed blood. What exactly is the meaning of all that?" Airin asked for an answer from the man beside her.

Damar seemed to be thinking hearing the question from Airin.

"Damar, all this time I've been having nightmares that bother me every night that's why I came to this country for treatment. Even sometimes I can see these shadows in real life" Airin told Damar.

"Damar, do you know anything? Because you are present in my dreams. Can you explain everything I've been through?" Said Airin asking for an explanation from Damar. Somehow the girl was convinced that Damar knew what she was going through.

Damar was silent for a moment. Maybe this is when he explained everything to Airin to let the girl know who she was.

"The creature that disturbs you is the Orx who wants to bring you so that you can be made a collision for their ruler in order to have a very great power and can not be lost right" Damar.

Degs....

Airin's heart skipped a beat hearing Damar's explanation.

"I was made into a tumbar? But why?" Tanya Airin did not understand.

"Because you have mixed blood. Rare blood that most people don't have"

"In your body there's also Bunian's blood. You have some human blood and some Bunian. So that's what makes the Orx target you. As a child, I was tasked by my king to protect and protect me from the Orx. But somehow they can meet you and always terrorize you. Right now they can still meet you in the dream world alone. Right now they can't see you in the real world"

Airin was silent to Damar's explanation. Instantly he recalled that he had seen a black shadow figure lurking about him. Like the time at his house, at the port and also while on the road when they go to the house of Tok Wan.

"But Damar, like they've met me. I've seen the black shadow several times over this time"

"That's not them, it's me. All this time I've been watching you from afar to make sure the Orx can't see you" Damar said.

"So you are.... "

"I am the Bunian people. Not all humans can see my presence. Only you can see me now"

Airin was still astonished to hear the explanation from Damar. He did not believe what Damar said. Well, he knew that his mother and father were just ordinary people. If he's like what Damar said, then who exactly is he? Was one of his parents married to the Bunian nation?

***

"Darling, why are you silent from now on? What are you thinking?" Aisha asked as they were on their way home. Well not as usual. Now Airin again daydreaming what was thought by his daughter at that time.

"Oh, does the Bunian exist?" Ask Airin at the end.

"Why are you asking me that, son?"

"I just want to know buk. Does it really exist?"

Aisyah let out her heavy breath. He also did not know why his daughter could discuss about the Bunian nation.

"Bunian people do exist in this world, son. They are invisible creatures. The form is the same as ours. Like humans too it was just that ordinary people could not see their existence. But they can see our existence. Only certain people can see their existence"

Degs...

Airin rounded her eyeballs to hear her mother's explanation. It was only fitting that when he asked about the whereabouts of Damar his mother looked confused.

"So it turns out that Damar is indeed a Bunian creature?" Inner Airin.

"Oh, is it true that you saw the young man who was with me while I was at the market. I often met the young man. I always talk to him"

"Honey, I honestly never saw anyone with you. I've only seen you alone all this time"

"Mother, who am I? The dreams I've been having all this time have something to do with my past. Did you know anything about me?" Tanya Airin asked for an explanation from her mother.

The question made Aisyah shocked. All this time he and Raksi have been closing tight on who Airin really is. He never told anyone that Airin was not his biological son.
