Bedouin Girl Bunian
Chapter 33
Damar and Airin practiced playing the sword behind the palace grounds. Well that morning they seemed very excited to practice. Airin also trained diligently because the time of the lunar eclipse is getting closer. All the troops and preparations for the war have been prepared by the army of the Great King. Not to forget king Sulaiman also sent his reinforcements to send the best troops in his palace.
Airin attacked Damar from behind, front, side. But the attack could be broken by Damar and could read the attack from the girl.
The clangs of the clashing sword sounds made the training atmosphere a little noisy. Airin held a sword with a dagger bearing the image of an eagle in her hand. It was the great sword of the king that is now in the down to the princess only wayangnya.
Airin's breath was breathless because of the exercise, he paused for a moment to take a position in order to return to attack Damar. Airin put up the horses and the sword he was holding facing straight in his eyes.
"Yes... " Airin again attacked Damar. But in the attack, Airin slightly plays his eyes so that makes Damar lose focus and at the end of his Airin can paralyze the man. Damar fell to the ground in a supine position and Airin's sword was on the man's neck.
"Hows it? Am I great?" Ask Airin smiling.
"You cheat, when he's at war you'll act like that. Will the Orx be as captivated as I am?" Damar protests rise from the ground.
"I only use this technology for you. Not for them" said Airin.
"Well, I admit you have made progress. And well I'm sure in the near future you can definitely become a real knight" said Damar.
Airin smiled happily at the praise from the man she loved.
"Good, like him you have made good progress" said the Great King who suddenly came to them. It turned out that I from earlier the Great King had indeed noticed them practicing from afar. That's why he can judge that Airin already has progress because it is able to defeat Damar. Although he did not know that Airin defeated Damar fraudulently.
"Ayahanda" said Airin saluting the king.
"Your Majesty" Damar also saluted the middle-aged man.
"Since when are you here?"
"Since. For a long time I watched you train there and I could see that Airin indeed has the potential to become a knight" said the Great King..
Airin and Damar heaved a sigh of relief because the king did not know what the real money was to them both.
"Your highness. In the front room there are guests who want to meet the noble" said one of the guards to the king.
"I will be there soon" replied the king again. The guard resigned to tell the guest that the king would meet him shortly.
"Airin, Damar I went to the front room first. You guys just continue the exercise"
They both paid their respects to the Great King when they left them there.
"To this day we have his training" said Damar.
"Why? Are you afraid of losing against me again?" Canda Airin's.
"I lost because you cheated. The time he had to play such an eye made me so out of focus" Damar protested.
"Eits, in battle we must do everything we can to win. Including in a cheating way" said Airin smiling sweetly.
"Okay, I admit you won. Win in stealing my heart" said Damar poked spoiled the nose of the girl he loved.
"You have also managed to steal my heart" Reply Airin also did the same thing with what Damar did to him.
They both smiled happily and looked at each other with great love in their hearts.

"Airin, I have news from Tok Wan that your father is sick at this time" Damar said as Airin prepared to train again this morning.
"What's? sick dad? we have to go to the human world to meet the father. I want to see how the father is right now" said Airin anxiously hearing the news of his adoptive parents being sick in the human world.
Airin and Damar went to the secret room that was under the palace. Where there is a magic mirror that can make the passage of time to the human world in a short time.
Before the girl went to the basement she had already asked the king for permission to use the magic mirror so that he could go to the human world to meet his two adoptive parents. Fortunately the Great King gave permission to them because he also felt he had a debt of gratitude to the two adoptive parents of Airin who had taken good care of Airin. The Great King never forbade his only daughter to meet with his adoptive parents.
"You don't have to ask your father for permission to use the magic mirror. You may use the mirror as you wish because you are a descendant of this kingdom. So whatever the father has is yours too" the Great King explained to Airin.
"The room please keep Airin there. Make sure that the Orx do not know of your existence in the human world" said the king.
"Being my master's orders" Damar saluted the Great King.
Airin recites a spell given by the king to open the passage of time to the human world. In an instant they were already in front of the courtyard of Tok Wan's house.
Airin ran into the house on stage while shouting to call his father.
"Father" shouted as he hugged the middle-aged man who was lying on the bed in his room.
"My daughter's Airin" Raksi replied to Airin's longing embrace.
"Is dad okay? Why are you sick, sir?"
"You're fine, there's nothing you need to worry about. You just need to rest and definitely hurt this father, because you miss you" explained Raksi again. Well in contrast to Aisyah who always looks sadiya worrying and thinking about the state of Airin in the world Bunian. Raksi just harbored his feelings and did not want to express what he felt because he did not want to make his wife more worried and anxious thinking about his daughter. He tried to be calm and proper so that his wife did not worry more about Airin. As a result he harbored his own feelings and made him fall ill like this.
"Your air comes home son" said Aisyah who had just entered the room with food in her hand for Raksi.
"Mother" Airin hugged the middle-aged woman longingly.
"Darling, miss son" said. Aisha again.
"Yes buk, Airin also misses mother and father"
"Oh, here the food let Airin who nyuapin father eat" said Airin took the food in the hands of his adoptive mother.
***
The day keeps changing already three days Airin and Damar are in the human world.. Even so, Airin never missed a workout. He continued to train behind Wan's shop house with Damar.
Raksi who looked increasingly healthy also saw their daughter playing sword with her shrewdness.
He did not expect the girl he grew up with affection and also always pampered it turned out to be smart in martial arts.
"Oh, look at it even though our boy is playing with a sword like a man, but he still looks beautiful and graceful when playing with that sword. Her feminine aura did not fade at all" Raksi said praising her adopted daughter.
***
After finishing practicing Airin and Damar decided to go for a walk around the village to get rid of their taste because of a day of training. They decided to go to the market place where they first met.
They also sat on the edge of the lake not far from the market. This is where they first talked to each other.
"This is a memorable and historic place in our lives, Damar said. This is where we first met and fell in love at first sight" said Airin smiling as she recalled the incident. Damar also smiled happily to hear the words of Airin.
Suddenly, out of nowhere came an arrow trying to hit Airin's shoulder, fortunately Damar realized it until he immediately pulled Airin into his arms.
"Awas Airin" said Damar to make Airin in the arms of the man.
They saw the direction where the arrow came from. Three Orxes came attacking them. Airin rounded his eyes really only this time he saw the Orx with his own eyes in real. All this time he only saw in his dream where only a black shadow was visible.
"Beware of Airin we have been attacked" said Damar. You stay behind me" Damar's command prepared with the sword in his hand.
Damar and the three Orx nations were fighting each other. Damar dismissed the attack after the attack launched by the Orx nation. Although the Orx attacked him with three creatures, he managed to fight him perfectly. When one of the Orx wards attacked from the right, Damar brushed off the attack with his sword and kicked the creature to the ground. Likewise when attacked from the front and back of Damar dodged the attack and managed to retaliate against them so that they all fell to the ground. When they let their guard down and fell to the ground, Damar again attacked the nation with his brutal.
With one slash the heads of the three Orx nations managed to be cut off. Damar defeated the Orx. Well because Damar is the best soldier and the Orx nation was not his match so it is very easy to defeat.
However, when winning against the three Orx nations was suddenly on the shoulder Damar stuck arrows coming from one of the Orx people who were behind the tree.
Damar groaned in pain as his shoulder had now bled. Seeing that Airin who always carries a dagger behind his shirt also took out the dagger and threw it towards the Orx who shot Damar earlier.
Having trained with Damar, Airin shot right at his target so as to make the Orx nation was lifeless. The dagger was too late to be perfectly stuck in his heart.
Airin approached Damar who had been bleeding on the shoulder.
"Damar, are you okay?" Ask Airin.
Damar continued to grin withstanding the pain that was on his shoulder. Well the arrow has been drenched with deadly poison. So diligent it into the body of Damar at this time. That's why Damar felt a great pain in his wound.
"Our air must return to the world of Bunian. They already know where we are. And I have to treat this wound" Damar said.
"Yes Damar we will go home" Airin also asked Damar to walk and return to the house of Tok Wan.
***
"Mother, sir, we must return to the world of Bunian. It's not safe here. The Orx already knew of Airin's existence here. And Damar, Damar has been attacked by them" Airin explained to his adoptive parents.
Tok Wan Ya saw the state of Damar who was injured was trying to remove the poison that was in Damar's body. Well because only Tok Wan and Airin only see the state of Damar there.
"This medicine is only temporary. It will resist the movement of the poison so as not to quickly spread throughout your body" Obviously Tok Wan did not manage to remove the poison that had spread in the male's body.
"It's okay to Wan. Thank you for helping me" Damar said.
Airin and Damar stand up to the yard of Wan's house and re-read the mantra to open the passage of time to the world of Bunian. After the passage of time opened, they entered the hallway that time.
***
Damar is getting weaker. Airin brought Damar out of the secret room. How shocked his Great King saw Damar get hurt.
"What is this Beduri? What happened to Damar?"
"We were attacked earlier father. Damar seemed to be seriously injured and the arrow stuck on his shoulder was dipped with poison" Airin explained.
"What's? Guards, call for the palace physician to treat Damar" the king said.
Without waiting for the second time the bodyguard went to call the palace physician.
Airin took Damar to the man's room. Well, Damar had been living in the palace because he was the personal bodyguard of the crown princess, so he must always be on standby beside the crown princess wherever he went.
"Patience to Damar, hold on. Soon the court physician will come to treat" said Airin laying Damar on his bed.
Seeing Damar's increasingly helpless condition made Airin more anxious.. He could not imagine that the man he loved would leave him for good.
"Hey, Airin why are you crying?" Ask Damar in a weak voice.
"I'm sad to see you like this Damar. For saving me you are like this" said the girl, feeling guilty about what happened to the man.
"Don't feel guilty like that Airin, I'm used to this kind of thing. What else is this wound for protecting you which is already my duty from the king" said Damar.
"You must endure Damar for my sake. For our love"
"I'll survive Airin because of you. Don't be sad like this. Precisely with you grieving like this will make me feel weaker" said Damar to remove the tears that soaked on his cheeks.
"How could I not be anxious and worried to see the man I love lying helplessly like this" said Airin, holding Damar, who wiped away the girl's tears.
"I'll definitely be healed, I'll hold on for you. You take it easy" said Damar again.
The Great King went into Damar's room along with several bodyguards and also the palace healer.
Airin, who had been sitting on the bedside with Damar, got up from his seat and stood beside his father. The palace physician began to see the wound on Damar's right shoulder. After observing the wound, the healer also made a potion to be poured into the wound on his shoulder Damar and he also made a potion for Damar to drink later so that the wound and poison that had spread was lost.
After he finished making the potion, the healer immediately treated Damar's wound and gave Damar a drink of the potion. After being treated and also drinking the herb Damar was asleep.
"Don't worry, the poison in Damar's body has started to disappear. In a few days he will be healed. And for now let him rest" explained the healer again.
"Thank you doctor" said Airin with an anxious face.
"Yes alike. Then I say goodbye first and tomorrow I will come back to treat Damar again"
The physician, the Great King and some of the guards went out of the room and left Airi alone with the sleeping man.
Airin stepped closer to the man she loved. He looked at the sleeping face.
"Thank you Damar, thank you for your sacrifice to me. You're willing to get hurt like this to protect me. I feel so lucky to have met you. I love you Damar. Get well soon, fight to fight this pain for me. I will always be with you and accompany you" said Airin stroking gently the man's hair with love in his heart.
