Bedouin Girl Bunian

Chapter 27

Damar describes several techniques for practicing archery.

"Next is the anchoring movement. At the time of the full draw the load is at the heaviest point but you still have to hold a few seconds for the next process. Well, the hand let's not shake-shake taped at the anchor point. So that this anchor point can be repeated continuously consistently, you must have several reference points. For example, a sticky string at the end of the nose, a sticky string on the edge of the chin, or others" Damar explained.

"This is a movement to resist archery" Damar explained while practicing.

"Some time, after captivity and before the arrow is removed. At this time the muscles of the bow-holding arm and the rope-pulling arm must contract so that the archery attitude does not change. Along with that the archer did the aiming. So at the time of aiming, the attitude of the archer must be maintained" he added again.

"Lookin?" Tanya Airin tried to follow Damar's style.

"This is right" Damar said confirming the position of Airin's arm to be straight in harmony with the arrow.

Getting that touch made Airin look at Damar and vice versa. Damar looked at Airin, making them look at each other. And there arose subtle vibrations in the hearts of both. The tremors that had been haunting the two of them. Vibration interpreted by them. They looked at each other and admired each other.

Until as the minute Damar was realized from the magnet emitted by Airin to him.

"In the aiming position, the position of the body of the archer is expected not to change, then the archer not only focuses on the target but prioritizes technique, with a relaxed body condition the focus will be better" Obviously Damar tried to be ordinary and continued his explanation of the girl beside him so that the sadist was not aware of his change in attitude.

".Last release string. The back muscles keep pulling the strings, not stopping, but at a very slow pace. Then relax the finger muscles that hold the string. If the drawing or pulling of the string stops, the name is dead release or plucking. The point will affect the accuracy" Damar explained at length about the archery technique is good and right and immediately release the arrow directly stuck to his target.

"Great" Praise Airin amazed by Damar's aim on target.

"You'll definitely be better than me Airin. Because your destiny is indeed a knight. Just keep practicing and trying. Surely you can do better than me" said Damar encouraging Airin.

Airin also immediately tried to target the target in accordance with the information given by Damar earlier. Once twice the girl failed to aim right at her target. Well, please be advised that his name is also a beginner and only this time he holds a bow and arrow. It takes time to practice to become even better.

Almost two hours Airin practiced aiming at his arrows. But all his shots always miss the target that is round with a blue color in the middle of it. Do not be right in the blue circle, right in the white circle that is located on the edge of the blue circle is not right. All his shots missed.

Until the last shot Airin managed to pin his arrow to the outer circle. Well even though it is still not right with the real target, but Airin has seen its development. It is right on target even in the outermost circle.

"Oh, it turns out tired too" said Airin sitting on a park chair resting because they had been practicing for two hours. Damar sat down next to the girl. The maids also provide drinking water for the two people who are different genders.

They both drank the drink that the ladies had given them.

"In an instant, you have shown changes and developments where you can place your target shot even though it is on the outside" said Damar.

"Yes, but it's still not up to expectations"

"Slow Airin. You just practiced. It all takes time and process. Not instant and immediately so as to go back and forth the palm" Damar explained.

Airin fell silent and thought about what Damar had just said to him.

"But what if I don't succeed and fail in training when the Orx invade this land? Surely all the people will feel disappointed in me because the hero they hoped for all this time failed to protect them all" explained Airin felt sad.

"Don't think about it first Airin. I'm sure you can be great before the Orx come to attack us. You can definitely become a knight as predicted all this time" Damar explained giving spirit to the girl.

"Airin, Damar" The Great king came to them.

Suddenly it made the dammar and Airin stood up and saluted the Great King.

"Your majesty" said the second to salute.

The Great King paid respect to the two of them.

"Broom, how's Airin training today? Have there been any changes and developments?" Ask the Great King.

"Your highness. For now princess Airin has seen her changes. He can already aim at the target even in the outer circle. But for the first day he has shown good progress" Damar explained to the Great King.

"Thank God if there have been changes shown by Airin. I am glad to hear this change. Hopefully before the lunar eclipse happens, Airin has become a real knight" said the Great King with hope.

"I believe princess Airin can become a knight as fast as her noble one" Damar said with confidence.

The Great King nodded in understanding. That is what he really hoped for. Not only himself, his people also expect the same thing.

"Tok Wan, have there been any developments and news from Airin at this time? Is Airin coming home from his native country soon?" Ask Aisyah to Tok Wan who is famous for being smart in the Golden Horse country.

at that time Tok Wan was sitting relaxing while enjoying a warm cup of tea in front of his terrace.

"Airin will be home after her assignment is done in her land"

"Tasks? What assignment?" Aisyah asked confusedly.

"The task given to him by his father. Where according to the prophecy, only Airin can defeat the Orx who have been attacking and attacking their country" explained Tok Wan again.

"Wait, does that mean Airin's going to war?"

"That's howabout. It's clear that after the task is done Airin will go home and gather with you again"

Her adoptive mother Airin was anxious Where as a mother she was afraid that her son would die on the battlefield and surely she would not be able to meet again with her daughter even her body could not he took it home.

"You take it easy Airin will definitely be fine there and he will also be able to fight against the Orx. In accordance with the prophecy that the heavens had set upon him. Don't worry like that. Just pray everything will be fine and Airin will return home safely as we have hoped" Said Tok Wan while brewing the warm tea that was on the table right where he was sitting.

Although Tok Wan has guaranteed that Airin will survive and be able to defeat the Orx nation in accordance with the prophecy. But still Aisyah felt anxious and worried about the safety of her only puppet princess. Which mother does not worry if her child goes to war. This is his only child and a girl. Of course the anxiety was many times what Aisyah felt at this time.

***

"Sir, sir" said Aisyah hurriedly into the room where her husband was sitting on the bed in their room. yes, at this time they are still at the Wan Tok house in accordance with what they promised yesterday. Where they will go and leave the Wan tok house when Airin is back with them.

"What's the matter, ma'am, why does it look so panicked?" Ask the Raksi casually.

"Sir, earlier Tok Wan said that the father and will join the war to defeat the Orx who had surrendered and attacked their nation. He said the prophecy had said that only Airin could defeat the leader of the Orx nation and win the war" explained Aisyah again.

Not surprised or how Raksi was still relaxed hearing what his wife said. That's because Raksi already knew it first now. Where Tok Wan had already told that to the middle-aged man.

"Sir, you are still relaxed when you hear this news. Aren't you worried about our son's situation there? He will fight you sir, what if Airin dies on the battlefield? we'll definitely not be able to see him again. Even his body alone we will not be able to meet for the last time if he dies in his country" said Aisyah without feeling some clear water now flowing on the middle-aged woman's cheeks.

Aisyah cried at the thought of losing their only child on the battlefield. Really he felt unable to lose Airin their only child there is the most they love in this world. Even Aisha was able to exchange her life for their daughter Airin.

"Oh, let's just pray for our daughter's safety there. At the moment we can do nothing, we can only provide support and also prayer for the safety of Airin there" said Raksi sound wise. It is true what the Raksi said at this time they can only give a prayer for the safety of their daughter.

"Sir, how could you speak like that and not worry at all about the state of our daughter there. By his own father also knew that Airin had no experience in it even saw the sword Airin never. How could he follow this war. He will lose before the war"

"Oh, I'm sure that our daughter can do this. There is no way Damar or his biological father Airin did not prepare Airin thoroughly in this war. Surely they will prepare Airin carefully so that Airin can defeat their enemies quickly" said Raksi who is indeed there.

Aisha thoughtlessly according to what her husband said. She felt that what her husband thought was true as well. It is impossible in a war they do not prepare everything carefully. Obviously they will prepare everything carefully so that they can achieve victory and be free from the terror that has always haunted them.

Aisyah could only sigh her weight while praying in her heart for the safety of her only child.

"Have been buk, let us both pray that Airi is always in the protection of the Power" Raksi said again.

Aisha returned to daydreaming. He could not shake the worry and anxiety in his heart at the thought of Airin who was far away in the eyes.

The longing in the heart made him more agitated. It feels like the middle-aged woman caught up with Airin who is in her home country. It's just that he doesn't know where Airin is currently. Although Raksi knew where the cave was the first time he found Airin when it was born, but he could not enter the land of his origin Airin. Only certain people can enter the country Bunian. So it's useless if they go after Airin there. Because they will not be able to enter the country of Bunian and meet the Princess only their wayang.

Raksi approached his wife who was still feeling anxious. The middle-aged man hugged his beloved wife to feel calmer and less anxious about their daughter. Even though in the heart Raksi also felt the same as what Aisyah felt at this time, but she could still hide her feelings and behave normally so as not to make Aisyah more anxious.

"Calm down, buk. Rest assured everything will be fine and Airin will be back with us safely" Raksi said gently stroking the hair of the woman who had accompanied him for decades.

Aisyah returned the embrace of her husband with warmth now the middle-aged woman's tears could not be contained anymore. Aisha was crying in her husband's arms. The cabbages continued to stroke the wife's hair lovingly.

"Mother misses Airin sir. You want to meet her so badly? I can no longer bear to part with him sir" Aisyah said softly.

"Yes buk, you also feel the same as what you feel. But right now we can only pray for our daughter. And hopefully time will pass quickly so that we can gather together again" said Raksi.

Aisyah did not reply the middle-aged woman hugged her husband tighter and continued to cry in the arms of the husband.

***

Airin slammed his body on a soft mattress in his magnificent room to relieve fatigue all day practicing behind the palace with Damar.

Suddenly the incident when Damar touched his hand was again imagined in his eye patch Airin. Just imagine making the heart of the girl bend so fast like just finished Marathon ten kilo meters only. What else directly met the view of the man who had made himself not careless like this.

Airin smiled happily as she imagined the incident. The girl had truly fallen in love with the warrior Damar who had been taking good care of her all along and was currently already her coach to become a knight in defeating the Orx nation.

"Damar, who the hell are you? Why does this heart feel different when it meets you. Well, I've never felt this way before, especially when we first met. Is this what you call love?" Inner Airin wondered.

"Honestly, you're the only man who can make me like this. So many men have approached me. But I was normal with them and there was no different feeling like what I felt towards you at this time. you have managed to bewitch me with your nature so cold towards me and make me curious" Her inner self again.

Geck... Geck... Tock....

There was the sound of Airi's room door being knocked from outside. Suddenly it makes the daydream Airin scum instantly.

"Yes in" Shouted her.

Enter a ladyboy who was his assistant at that time. Where the lady is the one who is given the confidence to go in and out of Airin's room and make sure Airin looks perfect.

"Sorry princess. His Majesty the Great King is waiting for the princess at the dining table to eat together this afternoon" said the lady-in-waiting, looking down not at the princess's face. Well the ladies and gentlemen or soldiers should not look at the face of the king or his princess because it is not polite. Only Damar could see the girl's pretty face. It was when they were alone that there was no king with them. If there is a king, then Damar will behave like a subordinate, a palace soldier who always protects the king and also the safety of the princess and the contents of the palace.

"Did Damar eat together?" Ask Airin with hope.

"The room? Certainly not princess. Where can a soldier eat at the same table with the king and his daughter" explained Dayang earlier.

The disappointed face shown by Airin at the time. The girl was expecting Damar to be able to eat with them at the same table. But his hope is now in vain.

"Yes, I will be there soon" Airin told his lady-in-waiting earlier. The dayang came back out of Airin's room and waited for her princess outside the room.
