Bedouin Girl Bunian
Chapter 13
Airin asked her mother who she really was. He wanted to know the origin of his current self.
Aisyah looked confused about where to tell from. He still did not understand where Aisha knew her from.
"Do I have to tell Airin the truth?" Aisha was still worried.
"Oh, why are you quiet. Please tell me all about it" Pinta Airin told her mother.
"Honey, as good as we discuss this at home. How nice of your father who also told me everything.
Airin nodded confirming what her mother had said.

"Sir, sir" said Aisyah pulling her husband into the room as she returned home from the market.
"What's buk?" Ask the Raksi confusedly.
"Sir, Airin asked who he was. I can't answer sir. Where does he know about his circumstances" said Aisyah.
"What is true buk? Why is it like this?"
"Mom doesn't know either. I don't know where he knows sir. Mother is also confused so her" said Aisyah.
"Did we just tell you everything?" Aisyah asked for her husband's approval.
Raksi seemed to think about what his wife said.
***
For a week Tok Wan did his semedi at the Lapit cave. Now the middle-aged man already knew what had really happened to Airin.
"Pak's home" Suri welcomed to her husband.
"Yes buk. Please make me a buk drink" said Tok Wan gasping for fatigue on a long journey.
"A moment sir" Suri replied, rushing to the kitchen to make a cup of warm tea for Tok Wan.
"This is the tea pack" Suri gave a cup of tea made earlier. Tok Wan immediately brewed the tea.
"Would you like to eat?"
"Not buk, just later. Oh yeah where do they open?"
"There's in his room sir"
"Please call them buk. Someone wants you to talk to them about"
Suri went to call Raksi and his wife and Airin in their rooms.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
There was the sound of Raksi and Aisyah's room door being knocked. Instantly, the conversation between the husband and wife stopped.
"Aisyah, Raksi, tok Wan are home. He wants to meet you guys. There are things that he wants to tell you" Suri told the two couples.
***
Airin, Raksi and Aisyah were sitting on chairs that were in the living room of the Wan Tok house.
"Look, I've been doing a weeklong meditation to find out what really happened to your daughter. And at the end of it, I found out that your daughter is not a human being. He has mixed blood" Tok Wan explained.
Degs...
Suddenly the explanation made the two married couples shocked.
"Mixed blood? Just like Damar said before" Inner Airin.
"Is it true that Airin wasn't your real son?" Ask Wan.
The two couples looked at each other again. It is hard to tell the truth. But what is this power must be done to get a bright spot from the problems faced by Airin.
"Yes tok. The real airin is not our flesh and blood. I met him while in a money cave in this country. During that time it rained heavily. I was sheltering in that cave. It was there that I met Airin and his mother Airin. Airin's mother handed me Airin to take care of me like a child herself, as Airin's mother was bleeding heavily. Without a second thought I took Airin out of his hands. Until Airin's mother breathed her last. I think this is the way the creator gave us a child. Because we never had children. Various ways we did but the results remain the same" explained the Raksi told all of her to all who were there.
Airin heard that looking shocked. He really did not think that he was the adopted son of the couple.
"While Airin is not our flesh and blood, Aisyah and I still love and cherish Airin like our own children. Our love never lessened to him. For seventeen years we have been hiding this truth. We don't want anyone else to know about this as well as Airin" added the middle-aged man again.
"I'm sorry you're son. We didn't tell her the truth. We don't want you to know any of this. Because we were afraid that you would leave us" said Aisyah hugging her daughter.
"Everything Airin is experiencing right now has to do with the origin of your daughter. Well Airin has mixed blood of half human and half Bunia blood. Where after Airin was seventeen years old, Airin had to return to his home nation" explained Tok Wan again.
"What's? Bunian Nation?" Raksi and Aisyah were shocked to hear her.
"The Bunian nation. Creatures that are invisible. Where only certain people can see their existence"
"Gak tok, we can't possibly let go of Airin. Airin is our daughter. Airin our son tok. We don't want to lose our daughter one by one" Aisyah said in tears.
"Is there anything we can do to keep us from losing Airin Tok?" Ask Raksi.
Tok Wan seemed to be thinking of hearing the question from the two people who were different types of family.
"Oh, sir, can Airin say anything?" Airin asked her final voice open.
"What son?"
"Can Airin know who Airin's real parents are? Airin wants to go back to the cave where he first found Airin" Airin said.
"Darling goa is too far away. There's no way your mom and dad would let you go there alone"
"Airin's not alone buk, sir. Airin's going there with Damar"
"The room?" Ask Aisyah.
"Yes Damar" replied Airin.
"Damar is one of the Bunian people who are in charge of maintaining Airin all this time. He was the one who always helped Airin from his nightmares" explained Tok Wan.
"But son, it is very heavy of our hearts to let you go. We do not want to lose you" said Aisyah continued to cry because she was not willing to separate from her daughter.
