Bedouin Girl Bunian

Chapter 29

Airin was excited when Damar wanted to invite him to go see the wayang in the village. Well the girl really felt sad for the magnificent palace he wanted to come out just refreshing to eliminate his misfortune.

Airin reflexively pulled Damar's hand away to the Great King to ask him for permission that he wanted to go see the wayang in the village with Damar.

Sontak Damar jerked when his hand touched by Airin. Just this time her hand was touched by the girl who made her heart not care for it. What a strange vibration now appeared in his second heart again.

"Sorry" said Airin releasing Damar's hand. The girl blushed in embarrassment because she had been presumptuous to hold Damar's hand.

"It's okay. Let's go to the king" said Damar trying to be ordinary so that the turbulent feelings in his heart are not visible to the girl of his dreams.

Airin and Damar enter the palace to meet with the Great King asking his permission.

***

"For my father, may Airin go out of the palace with Damar? Airin wanted to look at the state of the village. Especially now in the village there is a puppet show. Airin wanted to see it to eliminate the allotment. What can?" Said the girl asking permission to her biological father who was sitting on his oversized chair.

The Great King looked at Airin with a difficult gaze to understand. Now the look turned to Damar. Finding him in the face of the King, Damar looked down not dare to clash with his king.

The Great King sighed heavily. Really he could not bear if forbid the princess only wayangnya it to come out. Moreover, he needs to adapt in this country.

"Well, you can go with Damar" said the king gave permission to Airin.

Hearing that Airin smiled happily. He can go out of the palace to eliminate his current misfortune with the man he loves.

Well even though the love of both can only be pendam and has not been revealed to each other. But now the two are loving and loving each other.

"Right father?"

"Yes. You can go with Damar to watch the puppet show in the village. But remember, don't come home too late" said the king again.

"Okay father. Thank you for giving me permission" said Airin directly hugging the middle-aged man.

Suddenly it made the king shocked.only this time he felt in the hug by his own daughter. The invisible creature felt very touched. He returned Airin's affectionate embrace.

"Geez, this time I was hugged by my own daughter. It turns out that this is the taste of his in the same embrace of our own flesh and blood" The king's mind more tightly hugged his daughter while closing his eyes.

"Thank you father" said Airin to release his hug.

"Yes dear to you. You guys be careful on the road. I'll ask some bodyguards to accompany you there"

"Sorry father, Airin felt it was not necessary if he had to be accompanied by guards. Because Airin went with the best and best soldiers in the country. Only he himself can take good care of Airin" said Airin.

The king seemed to think about what his daughter had said.

"Yes if it is your decision, father will allow it" said the king at the end.

Airin and Damar smiled happily at her.

"Damar, please take good care of my daughter" the king said.

"For my lord. Uphold my master's command" Damar said respectfully.

They left the palace.

***

There is a view in the beautiful and quiet village there. Everyone gathered at an art stage held by the village.

"It's quiet this village is Damar" said Airin when they had just entered the village.

"Yes they all went to gather at the art stage to watch the puppet show there" Damar explained again.

"Oh it's worth it here it's so quiet"

"Yes Airin, here there is no other entertainment than puppet shows or entertainment in the form of dances here. It was only once a week here" Damar explained again.

"Oh yes" said Airin. Well in his original village it is still very old. Where there is only entertainment in the form of dances or shadow puppets here. Unlike in the land of humans who already have a small black and white television that can broadcast various areas there. Well understandably in the land of the human world there are Dutch people who just entered and promoted their technologies so that the human world at that time began to develop.

"In the human world there is already television and radio as entertainment" said Airin again.

"The world of man and the world are different Airin"

Airin smiled at what Damar said. Airin again enjoyed the night view in the village. There is a makeshift lighting in each house neatly arranged on the side of the road they pass. The simple stage houses are white in there with a terrace in front of it. And various colorful flowers also decorate the yard of the house.

Fireflies also fly around Airin and Damar who explore the path. It was a very rare sight where Airin had just seen it.

"That's wonderful" Praised Airin with a happy smile.

"This time I saw this beautiful night scene" he added. Well the girl had never enjoyed a scene like this. In the human world, the girl only spends time at home. You could say he's a home child. What's more when he experienced the terror of nightmares that he always faced every night. It made the girl even more afraid to go out of the house and afraid to meet people if not accompanied by her adoptive parents. But different things when he met Damar for the first time in the land of the Golden Horse.

It was just a different feeling he got from the man. Where there is curiosity, awe even that comfort quickly appeared in the girl's heart and the confidence in the man she had just met at that time made her even more convinced that Damar was a male figure who could it is evident that Damar is currently protecting the girl until she arrives in Bunian country safely.

"Master's daughter Beduri" Tegur one of the people who are female with respect. Where the middle-aged woman had just arrived along with Damar and Airin on the art stage.

"Eh mother, don't pay that respect to Airin. It's inappropriate to think Airin was treated that way. Here our status is the same" explained Airin.

"But the princess is the king's daughter"

"It's okay buk. If here I'm just an ordinary person" he said again smiling happily.

"Let's watch the puppet together" Invite Airin to the middle-aged woman earlier.

They also entered the stage of art that was held in the open field. Airin sat in front with Damar.

They watched the puppets played by the puppeteer. They all laughed at the show. This togetherness is difficult to get by Airin.

Dalang plays a story about the Bunia and the Orx. Where in the story the Orx nation can be defeated easily by Airin. The knight who had been predicted could defeat the leader of the Orx nation. Well that's the story played by the puppeteer in his wayang kulit.

***

Airin was busy daydreaming as they were on their way back to the palace. The girl was busy with her thoughts that just kept playing in her mind.

"Airin's? Why are you daydreaming? What are you thinking?" Damar asked to see the girl silent from earlier.

"Huh?" Airin was shocked when his daydreams broke to hear Damar reprimanding him earlier.

"Oh, there's nothing" he said.

"Don't lie. I know you're thinking something. Do you miss your parents? Or did you even think about the story of the wayang kulit?" Guess Damar.

Airin looked at Damar with a gaze that was difficult to decipher. The man who was with him knew very well what he was thinking at the moment. Only Damar could understand and could understand the girl's current feelings.

"Yes Damar. I was thinking about the puppet. I fear that I will disappoint those who have expected much of me. You know, I haven't had any progress in training. If later I can't be their hope how?" Said Airin with a worried heart.

"Right now you don't think about it too much. All you have to think about right now is to focus on your training so that you can become a real knight" Damar said.

Airin was silent at what Damar had told him. The girl was busy with her thoughts playing in her mind.

"You're right Damar. I should be more eager to train and have to be active again in training in order to become a knight quickly" said Airin again excitedly.

"That's dong. You must be sure you can become a knight"

"Thank you, Damar. You can always calm my restless heart" said Airin filled with feelings. His eyes looked at Damar with a feeling of comfort and admiration for the man.

Their views meet again. Damar could not hold back the turmoil in his heart anymore. Really he wanted to tell the girl who had the mixed blood that he loved her and wanted to have the girl as whole as her. However, back he could only hold that feeling in his heart. Because their social status is different.

***

"Biduri, father noticed from earlier you just daydream. Wh why? What are you thinking?" Asked the Great King to see his daughter sitting daydreaming on the bench of the palace garden.

"Yahanda"

"Airin just misses both of my parents in the human world. Father, can I meet with them for a while to let go of this longing?" Airin asked his real father.

The king seemed to be thinking and objecting to Airin's current request. To reach the human world they had to travel three days and three nights. And his fear during the journey later suddenly the Orx attacked them.

"Why are you silent? Can't I meet them?" Said Airin sadly.

The Great King sighed heavily. He could not bear to see his daughter was sad like this.

"May I son. If you go into the human world like what you did yesterday, then you will need a long time. And fear that suddenly the Orx will come to attack you. You are not ready to fight with them because you are not yet a knight" said the Great King.

"So what should Airin do father?"

"Come, come with the father" said the Great King again.

"Honey, please call Damar" said the king to one of his maids.

"Pursuing my master's orders" said the lady-in-waiting immediately went to call Damar.

***

They arrived at the secret room that was under the palace ground. There is a large mirror that is the size of a human. The mirror stood perfectly upright.

"Ayahanda, what room is this?"

"This is a secret room. This is where your mom and dad could meet each other when we were in different rooms. And since you are my daughter, then I will show you how to use her" said the king.

"With the use of this mirror, then you will immediately arrive in the human world in an instant when it takes a long time" explained the king.

"This, read this mantra, then the mirror will be able to enter the human world" said the king gave a piece of paper bearing the mantra to open the way from the world of Bunian to the world of humans.

Airin took the paper and read it. The mirror reacted by turning like water.

"Biduri, only royal descendants can pave the way from the world of Bunian to the human world like this by using this mirror. Now you enter, and you will be directly in the human world. Damar will accompany you there to look after you" said the king.

"All right, thank you father"

"And if you want to go back, then read the mantra that was behind the paper. Then the passage of time will open before you and bring you back to this world"

"Okay, Ayahanda"

"Please don't go too long. Because you still have to practice"

"All right, father"

"The room is Biduri's daughter well"

"Building the noble commandment"

Airin and Damar went into the mirror. Like being in the hallway of time with the instant Airin and Damar were in front of the house Tok Wan. The famous smart man in the land of the Golden Horse.

Airin ran into the stilt house with a passionate feeling in his heart.

"Mother, father" he shouted as he looked for his adoptive parents.

Aisya and Raksi came out of their room when they heard the voice of the princess calling them.

"Geez, is this your Airin, son?" Aisyah asked as she held onto her daughter's shoulder and examined her daughter from head to toe to make sure that it was their only daughter.

"Yes this buk Airin"

"Geez, son, I'm so glad you're back. Mother misses you very much and is worried about your situation all this time" said the middle-aged woman full of haru as she hugged their daughter as well as Raksi.

"Yes son, we thought we would never be able to see you again" Raksi said.

"I'm sorry Airin, sir. Airin's been gone a long time leaving father and mother here"

"It's okay son, what matters is that now you're home" said Aisyah kissing the child's head gently.

"Mom thought you wouldn't come back any more than hearing you'd go to war" added the middle-aged woman again.

"Airin came home not long. Airin will return to the world of Bunian again. There is a task that Airin must complete there" said Airin.

"Tasks? What is war?" Ask Raksi.

"Yes buk, sir. Airin came here just a moment to see your situation and ask for prayers to you so that Airin can win later" said Airin again.

"Oh my goodness, son, so you really want to join the war? Don't you have no experience at all in that?"

"Oh, I have to do all this. Airin must save my people from the terror that always haunts them. Airin couldn't possibly let them be in danger like this. They hope a lot to Airin buk" said Airin gave understanding to his adoptive parents.

"But son, your mother and father can't let you join the war. I'm afraid something bad is gonna happen to you"

"Oh, sir, please pray that Airin can be a knight as they wish. Airin is currently training to become a buk knight, sir"

"Yes we can't ban you if this is your decision. We can only give your blessing to you son" Raksi said.

"Oh yeah, are you alone here?" Ask Raksi who can not see the existence of Damar who is always loyal to be beside Airin.

"No sir. Airin came here with Damar. He always accompanied Airin wherever Airin went"

"Thank God he always accompanies you, son. I feel calm when you are with him. Keep her where?"

"There's beside Airin"

"Thank you Damar you are a good man, thank you for taking good care of Airin" Aisyah said despite her sight somewhere because she could not see the existence of Damar.

"Yes, both buk. I will always take care of Airin as much as I can. I can sacrifice my life for Airin" said Damar and directly conveyed by Airin so that both parents know that Damar said that.

"You're a good boy Damar. I feel lucky that Airin met you" Aisyah said.

Damar only smiled hearing the praise from the middle-aged woman. He really felt like he was floating around in praise like that. More than the parents of the girl he loved. That means he gets the green light to get his blessing.
