Bedouin Girl Bunian

Chapter 44

King Solomon and the Great King continued to discuss the issue of marriage between the prince of Sham and Airin.

Although the Great King knew that Airin did not love the prince of Sham and his son loved Damar, still the Great king hid this to king Sulaiman. He lied that he had not told Airin about the matchmaking plan and the Sham prince to Airin. It was because he was sure he could persuade his daughter to unite with the prince of Sham.

Ali was pacing around in his room. The middle-aged man looked uneasy with his current thoughts. Where he thought about how to get Airin. What a feeling in his heart could not be held anymore. He was very interested in his wife's nephew.

"How do I get Beduri? I really can't hold back this king of turmoil in my heart" Inner Ali continued to be restless.

Airin's beautiful face continues to haunt Ali's mind at all times. Even Airin was also often present in Ali's dreams when he was fast asleep. Ali felt tormented holding this love in her heart. However, he also could not say all of that honestly to everyone. Obviously they would all be angry especially the Great King and also his wife Surya. So he chose to harbor this feeling and admired Airin secretly.

"Why does it look so nervous?" Surya asked to see her husband pacing back and forth from earlier in her room. The middle-aged woman had just walked into her room. She was amazed to see her husband's behavior that lately seemed strange. Ali often daydreamed to himself as if he were thinking of something.

"Oh, Surya since when have you been there?" Ali asked in shock at the presence of his wife.

"Just now, what's the problem with kanda? Why is it that lately the sign looks a lot silent and is thinking about something? Is there a problem? Don't you like us being in this palace? Because ever since we were in this palace, you've been behaving strangely like this" Surya said, filled with interrogations of her husband.

Ali was trying to act calm as usual as if nothing had happened to her. For several times Ali took a breath and exhaled strongly to calm his troubled heart.

"There's nothing Adinda. Everything's fine. Kanda was just thinking while learning about the progress of this kingdom" Lied Ali.

"Well this kingdom seems very advanced far from our kingdom. Therefore we think to advance our kingdom like this kingdom so that our people are more prosperous" he added.

"The problem is whether the Great King will tell us about the secret to advance this kingdom. That's what I've been thinking about all along. Because that's why you look restless thinking about all this" Ali said again.

"Oh so because of that. Take kanda a calm. The Great King would have been willing to share the secret to present his kingdom to us. He is a wise man, he must think more about our people in our kingdom. I will ask the Great King to give us the secret. Dinda sure the Great King would want to" explained Surya to her husband.

Ali came near his wife. He held both hands of it.

"Thank you dinda. Kanda sure in this way, surely our kingdom will be more prosperous and prosperous" said Ali buried his wife's head into his arms.

"Yes kanda are the same. Kanda take it easy, dinda will always help kanda and will always be there for kanda under any circumstances"

"Thank you dinda. Dinda really is the best wife for kanda. Kanda is very lucky to have a wife like dinda" Ali said again.

"Sama-sama" kanda"

Damar and Airin met on Sunday in an abandoned old building at the end of the village.

Hearing that Airin's bodyguard was no longer with him, Ali ventured to always monitor Airin's condition. The man tried to find a gap in order to do his bad intentions to the girl who had mixed blood.

Even when Airin went to meet Damar in the abandoned building at the end of the village Ali went to follow the girl. He hopes that he has a chance to do his bad intentions to the girl. But his hope is now in vain. A handsome man was already waiting for Airin's arrival in the building. Ali hid behind a wall so that his presence was not visible to Damar and Airin.

"It turns out that Beduri secretly met this man. But who exactly is this man does he forget his lover Airin?" Batin Ali wondered. He kept watch over Airin and Damar in his place

"Until when do we stay like this Damar? I feel tormented hiding constantly like this" said Airin.

Damar, who had been sitting on one of the steps of the building, stood and held the shoulders of the girl he loved.

"Prophey Airin, I am trying to give the king confidence that my love is pure for you" Damar assured the girl in front of him.

"Oh it turns out that their relationship was not blessed by the king. Therefore Beduri and Damar met secretly like this" Inner Ali began to realize their love story that was hindered due to different social status.

"After all, I will never accept a proposal from any prince. I will always be faithful waiting for you until the blessing we get from father" said Airin hugging the man filled with love in his heart. Damar reciprocated Airin's embrace with the same feeling in the hearts of the two.

"So it's like this Beduri's love story. It is fitting that he seems to not care about the prince of Sham. And when the Great King was discussing their matchmaking, Beduri preferred to avoid that conversation. It turns out that this is the reason. Bedouin has loved other men. Hm.... Interesting very interesting" Inner Ali again.

Airin was busy picking beautiful colorful flowers in the palace garden to put in a flower vase as a decoration in his room.

"Biduri" Tegur Ali to Airin who continues to do his activities.

"This is uncle, I'm picking these beautiful flowers to decorate my room" Airin explained.

"Oh that way, can uncle help you?" Ask Ali.

"No need uncle, soon also finished anyway" said Airin.

Ali is now back in silence with a thousand languages. He was compiling the words to begin with his discussion of amber and Airin the other day.

"Hm... So, how's your relationship with Damar? Is Damar your personal bodyguard all this time?" Ali's question made Airin shocked. Airin immediately stopped her activities picking the flower.

The girl was without any confusion as to where the middle-aged man knew about her relationship and also Damar. There was no way the Great King would tell him this. If the king says this, he is ashamed.

"Don't worry Beduri about this matter. The secret of your relationship with Damar will be safe in uncle's hands. Uncle wouldn't tell your father all this. Especially when you secretly met with him the other day in an abandoned building at the end of the village" said Ali again.

"Why does my uncle know all this? Is uncle following me?" Tanya Airin looked at Ali with a dislike look.

"Your uncle did know everything just by looking at your face Beduri. Uncle can read what happened to you all this time" Ali said again.

"As uncle said, your secret will be safe in uncle's hands" he said. Well Airin can read the meaning of Ali's words to him. The girl knew that it was her own intention that Ali could say that to her. Obviously there should be his reward if he keeps a secret meeting between Damar and Airin the other day.

The girl who had mixed blood preferred to leave Ali alone in the garden. He did not want to continue their conversation at that time.

Seeing Airin leaving him with a sense of annoyance, Ali smiled with satisfaction. Well at least he has said what he knows about the girl and her lover. Surely Airin will act more carefully and will obey his will later so that his secret is not revealed. That was what the middle-aged man thought. He was very sure that Airin would obey whatever he wanted later. Well for now he prefers to say it first, and then he will express his wishes to the girl.

***

Airin placed the basket containing the flowers he had picked from the palace garden on his room table.

"What did Uncle Ali mean by saying that to me? What does he want from me. It was like he was threatening me" Airin told himself.

"Did yesterday uncle secretly follow me when he met Damar? Why didn't I realize that uncle was following me yesterday?" The girl thought hard.

"Uncle Ali certainly had his own intentions with all of this. I need to be more careful with him. I have to keep a watchful eye on the man so that I don't concede like yesterday" Inner Airin again.

"Airin, at the end you go home too son. Mom misses you. This house has become quiet since your departure" said Aisyah when Airin returned to the human world. Well today that girl who had mixed blood decided to return to the human world. He just wanted to avoid Ali's suspicious-looking uncle and always keep an eye on him. At least in the next few days he was in the human world and when he returned to the world of Bunian, his uncle Ali had returned to his kingdom. That's what the girl thought.

"I'm sorry I'm late for coming home. There are so few problems in the world of Bunian that I have to solve them first. And at this time I can only go home in a few days because of my longing for my father and mother" said Airin embraced Raksi and also Aisyah with longing.

"Yes, no problem. Mother and father understand your duty as Crown Princess in your land. Even though you came back here in a few days it has made your father and mother feel happy. At least you did not forget us and still want to visit us here" said Raksi wisely.

"Of course I will always visit you here because you are also my parents. If you guys are not around and take care of me lovingly I won't be able to grow up like this. I owe you both a lot. Thank you father, mother" said Airin with teary eyes looking at his adoptive parents.

"Don't talk like that, son. You are my daughter. We will be ready to do anything for your happiness" Aisyah said with confidence.

"Thank you father, mother" Airin hugged the couple again.

"If my father were like my adoptive parents who would do anything for my happiness, I would be very happy. Because I will have the blessing of my father for my relationship with Damar" Inner Airin.

"But in reality, my father thought more of his noble descendants than of my happiness. Though I very much wish for my father to be like these two adoptive parents" Inner Airin sadly recalled that your kingdom did not give them their blessing.

"Somehow is it that I can make my father open his eyes wide that love cannot be forced. I wouldn't be able to live if I had to marry a man I don't love" Inner Airin continued to churn.

"Airin, let's eat, son. Today mom after cooking your favorite food. I don't know why today I really want to cook your favorite food. Well maybe because of the feeling of a mother who can know that her child will go home even though she was not told before" said Aisyah again.

"Yes that is the name you really love and love Airin with all your heart. You know son, if we miss you already, your mother will cook your favorite food to eliminate our longing for you" said Raksi again.

"Yes, your father was right, son. If we eat your favorite food, a little bit of longing in the heart is reduced and we can imagine you are with you and eating this food" explained Aisyah.

Airin was flattered to hear the words of Aisha and Raksi. Both of his foster parents loved him with all their heart. He felt very lucky to have both foster parents like them. If only Damar had come from the human world, maybe their love relationship was not this complicated. They will definitely unite because they have received the blessing of their adoptive parents in the human world. But what is the power of Damar comes from the world of Bunian. This makes it difficult to get the blessing of his real father.
