Bedouin Girl Bunian

Chapter 38

Airin threw away the apple given by the old grandmother because Damar told her what happened to her mother in the past. The apple that Airin had thrown away lay behind the palace courtyard. A palace servant who was in charge of raising the palace horse found the apple and took it. The servant gave the apple to one of the horses in his stable while he was feeding the horses.

The horse who wanted to eat the apple was suddenly removing foam in his mouth to make the horse died of poisoning. This is because the apple has been poisoned by a witch who met Airin earlier and disguised as an old grandmother.

"Oh my God, what's wrong with this horse? What really happened" said the waiter panicked to see his horse lying lifeless.

"Dayang, maids please" said the waiter.

"What's wrong?" A lady-in-waiting who happened to be passing by in the stable stopped and asked the servant.

"What happened to this horse? All of a sudden he was acting strangely and at the end of it like this. Please get the other palace attendants to help check on her" said the maid again.

Without being asked for the second time there was someone who had immediately gone to call the other palace servants to see the state of the horse.

"What's wrong?" Damar asked one of the palace maids who seemed to be running towards the stables. At that time, Airin and Damar were sitting in the palace garden.

"One of the horses in the stable was having a problem suddenly his mouth let out a froth" Clearly the servant again left Damar and Airin and went back to the stables.

Hearing that, Airin and Damar followed the servant to the stables to see the condition of the horse.

"What is this" asked Damar to the servant who had given the horse an apple.

"I don't know either, sir. Suddenly the horse was acting strange and like this was the situation" explained the waiter again.

Damar approached the lifeless horse that was lying on the ground. The man watched the horse carefully.

"Like this horse's poisoned. What did you give this horse until he got poisoned like this?"

"I only gave the apple I had met in the backyard of the palace to this horse. After this horse wants to eat the apple he immediately acts strange and this is how it happened" explained the waiter.

Degs...

Airin was shocked to hear the explanation from the waiter. The girl felt grateful that she did not eat the apple given by the old grandmother and heard what Damar said. If only he had eaten an apple it might have been his fate just like this horse.

"Thank you Damar" Airin said as they continued their training in the palace's backyard.

"Thank you for what?"

"Because you helped me"

Damar looked at Airin in surprise as he did nothing to the girl. But the girl thanked him and said that Damar had helped her.

"helpful? Help what?"

"Help me from that poisoned apple. If you hadn't told me to throw it away I might have eaten the apple and my fate would have been the same as that horse. That's why I thank you for helping me" Airin explained.

"It is fitting that I protect the girl I love" Damar said with a happy smile.

***

Airin sighed heavily as she stood on the balcony of her room. He was worried that night. Well where a lunar eclipse will occur just count the days again. His heart now felt thumping fear he could not defeat the leader of the Orx gang. Well surely everyone felt the same way as what Airin felt at that time. Despite having practiced half-dead, it still did not feel certain that we would win. Examples of this are when competing poetry or singing. We've trained half-dead to prepare for the game to win. However, the closer we approach the event the more we feel stubbornly afraid of not being able to display the best. That was how Airin felt at the time.

What else will the girl fight against the leader of the Orx nation, and at any time her life could have been lost due to the war. Of course the feeling was many times more that he felt at this moment.

"Oh my God, may I defeat the leader of the Orx. I hope I can save this country from the terror that always happens in this country. May I not disappoint my people who have expected me to win this fight" His prayer inwardly closed my eyes and faced the sky sprinkled with the stars.

Well that night was not too bright, the stars that appeared were not too many. Just like Airin's heart is currently struggling and hesitant to face a war that only counts days anymore. Indeed Airin and his troops have prepared everything carefully. But still the feeling could not be lost from his heart.

"Damar, are we going to defeat them and win this war?" Ask Airin again as if there was Damar with him at that time when He was alone there.

Although later they won in the fight against the Orx, but they will fight again to win the heart of the Great King in order to give blessing to their relationship. Although they knew it was not easy to get the blessing of the king. But they are ready to try and do not want to give up just like that until the blessing is obtained.

Well no matter what obstacles lie before them over their current relationship, they are ready to deal with it. Like the promise they once said is a lifetime.

"Stay with me Damar, stay by my side wherever I am. Only you can give spirit in this life. And only you can make sure I can win this war" Inner Airin again.

***

Spies from the Orx nation sent by the witch to monitor the state of Airin whether it has eaten the apple he gave or not back to their headquarters.

"Hows it? Has the mixed-blood girl died?" Ask her. Well even though he really expected the girl he caught alive so that it could be used as a collision to make it stronger, he said, But for now it is no longer possible because Airin is already an expert in self-defense. Until the witch decided to kill Airin alone by giving the apple that had been poisoned by the witch.

Well that's the only way he can break the foretold prophecy where he can be defeated by the girl Airin who has mixed blood.

"Even your majesty, that girl did not want to eat the apples that your majesty gave her. Damar had ordered him to throw the apple away. But the apple was again eaten by one of the palace horses and made the horse die" explained the spy again.

"Unfortunately, why did that happen?"

"Damar learned that the apple the girl was carrying contained poison. That's why Damar asked the girl to throw the apple away"

"Bad. It turns out that the soldier was really great. He could tell the apple even though I had made it like an apple in general. But it turns out he can still recognize the apple" said the witch was furious with his failure.

"How many lives does that mixed-blood girl have? Why is he so lucky and kept spared his death" added the witch again.

"If this is the case, I will definitely stay face to face with him. And it could be that the prophecy will happen for real" His mind felt uneasy.

"I had to find another way to end the girl's life before the lunar eclipse happened. I have to break that prophecy" His mind again.

***

The armies of both the kingdom of the Great King and of the kingdom of king Sulaiman were preparing for the morning's training. They were all lined up in the backyard of the palace for the rehearsal where Damar was as their coach.

They are not only trained to play swords but also trained to shoot. They should be able to use all combat equipment.

Airin was like always training with them. Well this morning it looks different because Airin is training with other troops who are ready to fight against the Orx. They are ready to sacrifice their lives to win this war.

Airin looked at the soldiers with sadness in his heart. Well he could not see them being killed for this war. If he could, he alone who fought against the leader of the Orx nation was tampa had to involve his troops so that not many were victims later.

"If only I had a way for them not to participate in this battle" Inner Airin.

"Biduri, why daydream?" Prince Sham rebuked the girl.

"Prince Sham. You're here?"

"Yes, I'm here and I'll stay here too. I will also come with you all to fight against the enemy. I can't let a beautiful woman like you fight alone" Prince Sham said slightly teasingly.

"I'm not alone, prince. There are those who come with me in this war" said Airin.

"You still have something to cool down"

"The room is there to accompany me"

"One person is not enough to accompany you there. There must be a real hero who accompanies you to fight there" said Prince Sham heard praising himself.

Airin simply answered the words of the prince of Sham with a wry smile. Well honestly the girl again felt uncomfortable when with the prince of Sham. Moreover, he did not want to be jealous of the two of them later. However, you must keep the feelings of the man who has become his lover.

Damar who had been busy training the troops who participated in the war was looking at Airin and also Damar who seemed to have been chatting not far from where he trained.

Although his heart was in pain at the moment to see their closeness, Damar tried to restrain himself from being burned by the flames of his jealousy. Well he believed that Airin could keep his heart and eyes only for himself. Well he believed the girl who had mixed blood loved herself wholeheartedly. It was seen when he was now the other day where he was hit by an arrow stuck in his shoulder at that time. Airin faithfully waited for her and took good care of her. The girl cried with sadness at the sight of the man she loved was helpless.

"I'll be next to you Beduri. Do not be afraid and do not worry. I will try to take care of you as much as I can" said Prince Sham with his steady.

"Thank you" replied Airin.

If you can, want her taste the girl said that she already has a lover, Damar, to the prince of Sham so that the prince of Sham does not bother her anymore. But Damar forbade him to do so, because he did not want to make the Great King disappointed and angry with him. What else will happen before your eyes. They must remain focused to face the war without breaking up between them. Well if Airin had said the truth, surely the prince of Sham would not have decided his troops to help them in this war. So they decided to tell the truth after the war was over.

Actually Airin did not want to do this because it means that the girl gave false hope to the prince of Sham. Well actually he did not give false hope also because Airin always evaded and refused if invited to walk by the prince of Sham or even he always behaved coldly towards the crown prince. He behaved like that when the prince of Sham knew that he would not give false hope to the crown prince. However, the prince of Sham was not aware of it. He thought that Airin did have such a trait and that kind of trait made him even more curious and made it challenging to get the heart of the girl who had the mixed blood.

Airin stepped closer to Damar.

"Where are you going Beduri?" Prince Sham asked to see Airin leaving him.

"Practice, aren't you practicing as well?"

"Oh, well I will practice with you" said Prince Sham in the end to train with all of them in the palace's backyard.

They were all training hard in order to win the war that was about to happen in the near future.
