Bedouin Girl Bunian

Chapter 17

On a lonely night Damar was still faithfully standing guard outside the tent. The man was very alert if the Orx came suddenly to attack them. Either because he is from another nation men do not feel tired or sleepy at all. Well maybe that's why he's the most trusted knight in his nation.

***

"My son...." There was a voice unknown to Airin. At this time the girl who had mixed blood was in a cave that she had never come there. He looks confused there. Nor did he understand why he was there.

"My son... " Back the voice was heard echoing inside the cave. Airin tried to trace every gap and room that ads in the cave. But I found no one there. The girl again felt afraid and wondered who called her child.

"Biduri, my daughter... " The voice echoed again. The voice of a woman was heard by the girl.

Now the sound came from the cave hall. Curious, he stepped slowly into the cave to see who was calling him. Though fear enveloped the girl's heart. But the curiosity in his heart grew bigger until he dared to go deeper in the cave.

Airin rounded her eyes when she saw a woman who looked like she had just given birth was holding her baby.

"My son's a fucker, I'm sorry, dear mother. I can't take care of you and take care of you. I'm not strong anymore, son. Hopefully someone comes to this cave to save you" said the woman with a soft look. The baby was crying maybe he felt sadness in his mother's heart.

Airin stepped up to approach the woman. Suddenly his steps came to a halt when he saw his father's Raksi was there.

"Sister, is it okay" asked Raksi to the woman earlier.

"Please, please save my son. Please take care of him like your own son. Love her and love her with all your heart" Pinta the woman handed the baby Biduri to Raksi.

"Biduri, that's her name" she added.

"But what brother?"

"Don't worry about me. Please take this baby away. His life is under threat" explained the woman.

"Quick go" her orders again by snapping at Raksi.

Raski rushed Airin away from the cave. Not so long ago Raksi left, her birth mother Airin exhaled her last breath. The Orx came to see Airin's mother lifeless, their supreme ruler was angry. Well he roared his mightily because he was annoyed to have lost mixed blood to become the strongest being in his realm.

Well at that time Airin dreamed about the origin of his self. In front of the girl like there is a big screen that rotates the moment when she was born right up to meet her adoptive father's Raksi.

"Unfortunately who has dared to take the baby? Where did the baby go?" Said the supreme ruler. Well the shadow looked like it was wearing a crown on its head and there was also a wand like a witch's wand. Unlike the other creatures who only hold a sword in their hands and do not have a crown.

"You all look for that baby. I don't know how long you've been looking for her and how long I've been waiting for me no matter. What is clear is that the baby you must find even though he is already big" said the ruler to his soldiers.

"Okay, your highness. We will try our best to get the baby back" said one of the soldiers, who was the leader of the soldiers.

"Let's go" she added.

The soldiers of the Orx nation also went after the Raksi who brought Airin.

Airin sat in the tent. He hugged his knees while crying remembering the events in his dream. She did not expect that her mother had died in such a tragic way.

"Airin, are you awake? Let's have breakfast after that we continue the journey" Shouted Damar from outside the tent.

Well it turns out it's morning. The sound of birds chirping sounded so melodious welcoming the coming of the sun that radiated rays of warmth in this cold morning.

Airin wiped away her tears so that Damar did not know that she had just cried.

"Yes a minute" replied Airin. The girl also came out of the tent and sat in front of Damar who was busy burning the fish that had been caught earlier.

"It's eating, and here's some fresh fruit for you" Damar said, giving it to Airin.

"fruits? Where did you get this fruit?" Ask Airin astonished.

"There was a banana and mango tree growing. When I was looking for fish, I saw it. So I'll just take this fruit for our breakfast. Because for a few days we only eat protein from animals" Damar explained again.

Airin nodded in understanding. He immediately ate the food provided by Damar earlier.

"After this I want to take a shower first Damar" said Airin.

"Yes I will take you and accompany you to the river that is over there"

Airin nodded in agreement with what Damar said.

***

After the bath, Airin came out of the river. He walked towards the faithful Damar waiting for him by the river.

As he was walking he suddenly felt pain in his ankle.

"Oh" he said whimpering in pain and sitting on the ground.

Airin used to see a snake passing in front of him. And there's a snake bite mark on his leg.

"Water... " Shouted Damar frantically running towards the girl.

Airin's breath was breathless as her snake venom began to react in her body.

"Yes, you were bitten by the serpent Airin. Please hold yes" said Damar swiftly immediately suck the snake bite marks on the ankle of Airin earlier so that the poison can come out. Many times Damar tried to suck the poison. And little by little the poison began to come out of Airin's body until the pale face was reddened as before.
