Bedouin Girl Bunian
Chapter 41
Airin has returned from the world of Bunian to the human world because his task in the world of Bunian is complete.
Aisyah and Raksi have now decided to return to the land of Bunga Tanjung.
They also thanked Tok Wan for receiving them all this time at his house.
***
It looks like the house that has been abandoned by the family is a little messy and filled with dust. Well the two-story house that is not too big but comfortable enough to live in is also a house owned by a wealthy cloth merchant, Raksi. In front of the house was a shop.
"Finally we have arrived at home" said Airin when they arrived at their home page.
Airin ran into his house. Well really the girl who has mixed blood really misses the house where she grew up.
"Honey, like her we get extra work" said Aisyah poking her house table full of dust because it has long been abandoned.
Airin and Raksi smiled at each other and stared at each other. They immediately went to the kitchen to take their combat tools in the form of brooms and also mops to clean their homes. The family was very excited to clean their house. That was because all the burdens they felt at this time were gone. Airin was already living like her other girls and not getting any more nightmares. Now their lives feel calmer and safer too.
They took royong to clean the house on the first and second floors alternately filled with enthusiasm. They clean it up by joking and laughing together.
Almost a full day they clean the house as a place they shelter from rain and heat.
"It's tired too" said Airin squashed his body on the sofa in his living room.
"Yes, my waist also feels gout" replied Raksi who sat on the sofa with her daughter.
"Tara.... This mother has made fried bananas and ice tea drinks for you" said Aisyah came from the kitchen while carrying the food and drinks she made earlier.
"Well, we happen to be hungry right now and thirsty" Raksi said.
"Yes, Mom is the best and knows how we feel right now" Praised Airin with a happy smile. They also immediately ate the food brought by Aisyah earlier.

Airin stood in front of the window of her room while staring outwards. The girl who had mixed blood was settling blankly forward.It occasionally appeared she was sighing heavily.
Seen from behind the tree at the end of the road is standing someone behind it. However, this time Airin did not feel fear at all like the first time he saw the figure. Instead the girl welcomed the figure with her sweet smile. Well because he knew across there was Damar watching him from afar and also looking after him.
When Damar walked up to the girl, he jumped into Airin's room through the window.
"What are you thinking?" Ask Damar.
"Just think of the father in the world of Bunian. What's he doing in there right now?"
"Do you miss the king?"
"Well, it can be said that way"
"If you miss the king, you can still visit the world of Bunian. There is no passage of time that can connect the human world and Bunian" said Damar reminded Airin.
"Yes you're right Damar. Why can I forget"
"Because you're too busy thinking about me" Damar said a little teasingly. Airin blushed in embarrassment hearing Damar tease her like that. The girl who had clean white skin was pinching her spoiled waist lover.
"Tomorrow we will go to the world of Bunian. Like her I have to be fair here. Well a week in the world of Bunian and a week in the human world. But the people and my father need me there. And here my father and foster mother also no less need me"
"Yes you're right. That's fair enough" Damar agreed with Airin's advice.
***
Today is so bright, Raksi looks busy cleaning up his shop that has not been open for a long time. Today was the first day he opened his shop again.
"Well, Raksi's back?" Ask Nani their neighbor.
"Yes, I just got home yesterday"
"Well, I think my father and family moved to the Golden Horse country. Well because you've been there long enough" he said again
"Not really buk, we went there just to treat Airin"
"How is Airin doing now?"
"Thank God Airin is improving. That's why we're home"
"Thank God sir. I'm glad to hear that. Yes yes sir. I'll excuse myself to go to the market to shop" said Buk Nani.
"Yes, be careful on the road"
"Who sir?" Aisyah asked who appeared from inside the store to her husband who was standing on the terrace of the store.
"Buk Nani buk"
"Mother, father" Tegur Airin approached his adoptive parents.
"Yes my son"
"Someone wants Airin to tell his father and mother. We'd better just talk inside" They went inside the store to listen to what Airin wanted to talk to them about.
"Open, sir. Airin asked permission from his father and mother to take turns in two worlds. A week in the human world and a week in the world of Bunia. However and also the father needs Airin there" explained Airin to his adoptive parents.
the couple stared at each other. To be honest they do not want Airin to return to the world of Bunian. But they should not be selfish because there are Airin's real parents. They had to share time with Airin as well as Airin's father.
"Good son, mother and father give you permission to do your plan. Your father must have missed you there too" Raksi said again.
"Thank you sir, buk" said Airin hugging his parents.
"Airin will go to the world of Bunian now"
***
The Great King was sitting daydreaming on his throne. Since Airin's departure to the human world the Great King has always daydreamed and felt lonely. She really could not be far from her daughter. However, he also could not prohibit princess Airin to return to the human world because there are adoptive parents Airin who has been taking care of and care for her daughter to grow up like this well.
"Ayahanda" Tegur Airin told the king.
"Biduri, this is right you son" Welcomed the Great King. The face that had been without sadness now turned to be happy when he saw his only puppet princess coming back to see him.
"Yes father. It's Airin"
the middle-aged man came closer to his daughter. He hugged the girl who had mixed blood with longing in his heart. Airin returned his father's embrace with warmth.
"Ayahanda misses you so much, son"
"Yes father, Airin also misses the father"
Damar just smiled happily to see both father and son hugging each other let go of longing. After a long time they embraced each other, they let go of their embrace.
"Ayahanda, Airin had the idea to divide his time between his father and his adoptive parents Airin in the human world. Where a week Airin will be here and another week in the human world.so on"
"Ayahanda agrees with your advice, son"
***
As usual when the evening before dusk came, Airin sat on a bench in the palace garden to enjoy the Sunset emitted by the sunset. Well the girl was so fond of the afternoon scenery like that. Where the scenery could not be found in the human world. He could only enjoy that scene in the world of Bunian, the world he came from"
"Like her you really like the view of the sunset in the afternoon like this" Tegur the Great king approached his daughter.
"Yes father. Airin loved this view. This kind of scenery Airin can only enjoy here"
They fell silent and enjoyed the sight together.
"Biduri, someone wants my father to tell you son" said the king in the end broke the quiet atmosphere there.
"What father?" Airin looked at the middle-aged man beside her in surprise.
"Do you also like Prince Sham?" Asked the Great King to know his daughter's feelings for Prince Sham.
Airin's face now turned moody.
"Prince Sham? Why is it father?"
"Some time ago the prince of Sham and also the king of Solomon came to our palace to make a proposal against you"
Degs....
Airin rounded his eyeballs. The crown princess was shocked to hear what her father had said. He did not think that what he had expected so far that the prince of Sham liked him was true.
"What's? They came to propose to me? What did my father answer to them?"
"Ayahanda has not answered their proposal against you. Because you weren't in this palace back then. Father will not make a decision without asking you first" said the Great King.
Airin let out a sigh of relief because his father had not yet given an answer to the proposal held by the prince of Sham and also the king of Solomon to him.
"So, what do you think? Do you want to accept that proposal? Honestly, my father really hopes that you and the prince of Sham will unite. Because it will make our kingdom stronger" said the Great King again.
"Sorry father, I can't accept that proposal. I have loved others" Airin said truthfully.
"Do you love someone from the human world too?" Asked the Great King curiously.
"Dad, if I told you the truth, would you be angry with me?" Tanya Airin looked at her father with a serious look.
"No son. My father won't be angry"
"Dad, I have fallen in love with someone who has always been there for me. He always protected me from danger. He was willing to sacrifice his life to protect me. He comes from this world as well as his father" Airin explained.
The Great King thoughtlessly someone who had made the princess' heart simply fall in love. Where he has rejected the proposal of the prince of Sham in a raw way.
Long enough the great king thought to cross his mind a man who was always with his daughter wherever he went. And the man always protected Airin and was ready to sacrifice his life for the girl. The man had also taught Airin to become a knight. To make Airin win against the leader of the Orx nation.
"What is Damar the man?" Ask the Great King to his daughter.
Airin lowered his head while nodding softly at the sign that what her father was guessing was right.
Suddenly the Great King was shocked to hear the honesty of his daughter. He did not expect that his daughter liked the proud warrior of the palace. It turns out their closeness during this time makes them arise a sense of love in their hearts.
"Did you not hear wrong what you just said?"
"No father. Me and Damar love each other. We have been in love all this time" Airin explained to his father.
"That air cannot be that you are a crown princess. As for Damar, Damar was just a palace warrior" said the Great King disagreed over their relationship.
"But our father loved each other"
"But you and Damar can't unite because your status is different"
"But our love does not look at the status of the father. We love each other and protect each other. Damar has proven how much he loved me all this time. He was willing to sacrifice his life just to protect me. I feel safe and comfortable when with him" explained Airin again assures his biological father that Damar is the best man for him. So that he can get the blessing of his biological father.
"No Airin, for whatever reason the father still disagrees with your relationship. This relationship is a forbidden relationship. You only deserve to be with the prince of Sham. You and the prince can have the same status. And obviously the noble lineage won't disappear when you're together"
"But I don't love the prince of Sham I just love Damar. I hope you can understand that love cannot be forced" Airin said, shedding tears. The girl who had mixed blood was disappointed in her biological father who did not give her blessing for his love for Damar. It turns out that what Damar said about his father was true. Where his father would not give his blessing to their relationship. However, Airin denied what Damar told him. He believes his father will give his blessing to their relationship and will understand the love of both of them.
"Airin, whatever the reason, I still can't approve of your relationship and Damar and I don't want you to refute my words. I just want the best for you. And father just wants to keep our noble descendants from being lost from this world" said the Great King leaving Airin who wept lamenting his fate that did not get the blessing of his father.
