Bedouin Girl Bunian

Chapter 36

Prince Sham came to visit his palace of the Great King. His arrival was only solely due to wanting to meet with Airin the girl who had made his clements.

"O father, did you call Airin?" Tanya Airin came to face her father in the front room.

"Yes, there's someone who wants to see you"

"Who?"

Prince Sham came to the father and son.

"Prince Sham?" Airin.

"Why did Prince Sham come here again? There could be a third world war later" Inner Airin felt anxious if later Damar saw the existence of the prince Sham with him.

"Prince Sham wants to take you out of the palace. To see the situation in the village. Well all of you want to see the life of our people in the village" explained the Great King.

"Oh, use the event ask to be accompanied again. Could be Damar fires a beard again" Inner girl.

"Sorry father, I have an appointment with Damar to add to the training schedule in a moment" Airin evaded. There is no extra training schedule from Damar. It was all just an excuse to be able to evade the man.

"It's okay, you just go with the prince of Sham. Let my father tell Damar that you are going with the prince of Sham. Come on, you go" said the Great King again.

"But father... "

"Already, it's okay Beduri. Damar won't be angry with you. You guys just go"

Airin could only sigh heavily. He could not refuse his father's request. Airin stepped heavily following the prince of Sham because he won he did not want to go with the man.

"I'm sorry Damar honestly I can't refuse my father's request" Inner Airin was sad and felt guilty to her lover.

Airin and the prince of Sham went around the village to see the atmosphere of the village in his kingdom.

"Take a look at that Airin isn't that pretty flower garden?" Prince Sham asked, pointing to the flower garden in the village. Where the flower garden is grown colorful flowers.

"Yes beautiful" replied Airin. Even though he is currently with the prince of Sham, but his heart and mind are with Damar. Well the girl kept thinking about her lover.

***

Damar seemed to be alone behind the palace courtyard. The man was holding an arrow, though, well the man was practicing archery alone to hone his skills because he had long rested due to the pain experienced by him the other day.

The Great King came near his proud warrior. The middle-aged man thought that Damar and Airin would return to training.

"The room" Tegur her.

Damar who was busy aiming at the target across there also stopped his activities.

"That begins" answered him with a salute.

"While practicing?" Ask the king with a stale word. Though he could see for himself that his soldiers were indeed training at that time.

"Yes, your honor"

"Airin can't train with you"

Damar looked at the Great King in wonder. He did not understand the meaning of the king. Whether Airin won't do the exercises again with her for good or how. Damar looks anxious in case Airin is forbidden to practice with him again.

"Did the king know about my relationship with Airin? Is he mad at me for being in a relationship with the crown princess?" The inner man kept wondering with a heart full of anxiety.

"Why your honor?" Damar ventured to ask his king. Well Damar tried to be ordinary so that the Great King did not realize the change in the look of his face that looks restless.

"So Beduri said you guys were going to do some extra training. And because the prince of Sham came to this palace and also wanted to take Beduri around the village, that's why Beduri can't train with you at this time" explained the Great King.

Damar heaved his sigh of relief hearing the explanation from his king. That means their relationship is unknown to the king. But on the other hand, Damar's heart felt burning because he heard the prince of Sham and Airin the girl he loved was alone.

"Oh so Airin went with prince Sham?"

"Yes, well what's wrong they went together. Let them know each other" said the king again.

Damar could capture from the direction of the king's words that he really hoped that Airin and also the prince of Sham could unite. This makes Damar more frustrated. Because the king really wanted Beduri with the prince of Sham. And can be sure their relationship will not get the blessing of the king.

"The room? Why are you daydreaming?"

"Oh, it's nothing noble" Damar replied with a smile that seemed forced.

***

"Please.... Pl-please... " Sounds the sound of people asking for help from the end of the village. The voice of the person was hoarse wet while occasionally sounding coughing.

"Prince Sham, did the prince hear the voice of the one who asked for help?" Ask Airin.

Prince Sham put his hearing well to hear what was heard by the girl who was with him.

"It's like the sound is coming from the end of the village"

"Yes prince. Right enough. Let's see" said Airin directly towards the source of the voice that asked for help earlier.

Once there, there was an old grandmother whose legs were squeezed by a large tree branch. The grandmother kept moaning in pain and trying to escape. But his efforts were in vain.

"But Beduri.... "

"Come, help me lift this branch" said the girl again to ignore the prince of Sham seemed to object to help the grandmother.

Seeing Airin trying to lift the branch of the tree, the prince of Sham also helped the girl. Until at the end of the branch was successfully diverted and made the old grandmother was free. Grandma who wore a black hat and a dress in the color of her sign with a broomstick and a small apple in her hand stood up again. Grandma's leg was seen bruised due to the overwriting of the branch earlier.

"Oh my goodness, grandma is fine. Grandma's legs look bruised" said Airin looking at the aching leg.

"It's okay, son. Thank you for helping my grandmother. If there are no you, surely grandma does not know the fate of grandma" said grandma earlier.

"Let's sit down first. Let me treat the bruises on her legs" Airin invited the old grandmother to sit under a tree to treat her feet.

The girl looked for some leaves of the herb she used to use when she was lightly injured. Like leaves or often called shrub leaves (This plant has bright purple flowers with reddish stems that are hairy, usually growing in open grasslands or forests. The plant is native to Melanesia, Japan, Australia and is widespread throughout the tropics, can also be found in Indonesia. One of its distribution places in Ndoso sub-district, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara) where the leaves can be used as a mild wound medicine.

Airin took some leaves of the leaves and smooth it by chewing until smooth. Then the girl rubbed the smooth leaf into the wound on the old grandmother's leg. Then the girl tore a little shirt to dress the wound of the grandmother that she had treated earlier.

"It's granny, hopefully grandma's leg does not have severe injuries huh. This leaf is only as a mild wound medicine" explained Airin again.

"Yes son. Thank you for helping my grandmother again"

Prince Sham who saw Airin's attitude just now was more and more amazed and fascinated towards the girl who had mixed blood. Well really Airin's helpful attitude made her fall in love.

"Biduri, you are indeed an amazing girl. You have a soft and helpful heart this is what makes me fall more and more in love with you" The inner prince of Sham looked at the girl in admiration.

"One more time thank you for helping grandma, granny excuse me. Oh yes, there is a special apple for you" Grandma gave the apple in the small basket she brought earlier.

"No need to granny, I help my grandmother sincerely"

"Don't refuse to give me a beautiful child" said the grandmother, forcing Airin to accept the apple she gave.

"Take this a thank you note from me. If you do not accept it, then grandma will feel very sad" added the old grandmother again.

Because it was a little forced, at the end Airin received an apple from the old grandmother.

"Good grandma, I received a gift from grandma. Thank you for the apples" Airin said.

"Yes alike. This is a special apple for your special girl" said the grandmother directly gave an apple red blood to Airin. The apple looks very tempting to those who see it.

"I accept ya grandma. Thank you" said Airin again. The old grandmother left Airin and the prince of Sham.

"Well, you're an amazing girl. Your heart is so kind and sincere to help people" said Prince Sham praising the girl.

"I'm just helping a fellow living thing" Reply Airin.

"Also, sometimes there are also beings who do not care for others. But you're different. You are indeed a special girl" said Prince Sham again.

Airin just smiled hearing the prince of Sham just kept praising him. Although he continued to praise, and the prince of Sham tried to steal the girl's heart, Airin was still not affected. His heart belongs only to a man named Damar.

***

The old grandmother who had been helped by Airin and the prince of Sham at the end of his life turned into a middle-aged woman. Where the woman was a steady witch in the country Bunian first her who had been expelled from the country because she was found wanting to kill her mother Airin at that time.

The magician laughed off guard because Airin had entered into his trap. Well she purposely disguised herself as an old granny stuck with a tree branch. Where the branch of the tree was deliberately placed on his feet as if he was being hit by the branch.

He deliberately asked for help to Airin and after being helped, he would give the apple he brought. Where the apple is already filled with poison in the middle and when Airin eats it, then the girl will die.

"Based on this innocent and stupid girl, she believed that I was an old grandmother who was in need of help from her. They did not suspect me at all. Hahahaha" said the witch with a laugh.

"My plan went well. When the girl who has mixed blood eats an apple, she will be lifeless and just stay in name. That way, I will get him so as to make me the strongest ruler in this land. And I make sure Agung will bend his knees in front of me hahaha" added again feel happy.

"You, please keep an eye on the girl. Make sure he will eat the apple that I gave him earlier" the witch told the spy who is the Orx nation that was following her earlier.

"Okay, your highness. I will watch over them" said the spy, who went to watch over Airin and the prince of Sham.

***

Airin looked at the apple that the old grandmother had given him. I don't know why the girl felt something strange about the apple that the grandmother gave her. Well it's weird because the apple is blood red. Apples did not look as fresh as the apples in general.

"Why Beduri?" Ask the prince of Sham who saw Airin who continued to see the apple.

"I don't know either, but I don't know why I feel like there's something weird about this apple. I feel like something is wrong" Airin said.

Prince Sham took what was in Airin's hands and observed it.

"This is the same as apples in general. What's wrong with this apple?" Ask the man.

"I don't know either. But my heart decided something was wrong with this apple"

"What do you mean? Is this apple poison?"

"I don't know for sure either, but I feel like there's something strange" Airin said. The girl continued to hold the apple but there was an intention to eat it.

"Prince Sham, we've been out of the palace for a long time. We better go home now. Because I still have a schedule for training with Damar. Maybe now he is waiting for me" Airin told the prince.

"Yes if that's what you want. Let's go back to the palace" Prince Sham agreed. The man still wanted to go around the village with the girl he loved. But Airin's already asking her to come home. He was forced to obey the will of the girl.
