Bedouin Girl Bunian

Chapter 48

Airin sat alone in the palace garden, his gaze blank as the sun slowly sank on the horizon. He felt trapped in a complicated conflict and did not know how to resolve it. On the one hand, there was Prince Sham who was patiently trying to approach him, and on the other, there was a love that was still buried in his heart for another man, Damar.

Well even though he is currently married to the prince of Sham, but he still can not accept the prince of Sham. The girl did not want to be touched by the crown prince.

"I'm sorry Prince Sham. I'm not ready" Airin said. Prince Sham understood and he did not want to force his wife.

He knew something was hidden by his wife. Although he did not know what was actually hidden by Airin, but he remained patient until later Airin was ready to tell everything to the crown prince.

For months, Airin saw the kindness and patience of Prince Sham. He saw how the man cared for his people with genuine love and care. Prince Sham was a just and wise leader, and everyone around him respected him. Airin slowly begins to understand that such love is rarely found.

The girl who had mixed blood saw the way of the leadership of the prince of Sham. The crown prince is presenting several methods to build this country.

"It turns out that Prince Sham is a good man. His leadership is very modern. All the people liked her" said Airin smilingly looking at her husband.Airin just realized that she was slowly starting to accept the presence of her husband.

Airin approached her husband when he was done giving an explanation of his methods.

"It turns out your way to build this country is very modern. The way you deliver and also your performance makes this country more and more well developed" Praised Airin to her husband.

"I'm just saying what I know. Well, because in my country I often go to other palaces to see the development of the palace. That's why a little bit I know the ways to expand this country a little more" Prince Sham explained to his wife.

Airin smiled happily at the explanation from her husband. Now slowly but surely her heart was more open to accept the prince of Sham as her husband.

One day, while Airin was sitting in the palace garden, Prince Sham approached him with careful steps. He sat next to Airin, letting silence speak for them.

"Prince Sham, we've been married for a few months. However, I still keep something from you" said Airin at the end of his wish to tell him everything that happened to him during this time.

"What are you hiding Airin. Just tell me, I won't be angry with you" Prince Sham said.

Airin took a deep breath and exhaled strongly to calm his heart so that he could tell everything smoothly to the prince of Sham. Well the girl thought this was the best decision because she didn't want any secrets between them anymore.

"Truely the marriage that we did was forced" Airin began to tell a story.

Degs...

Prince Sham was shocked, very surprised to hear what Airin said just now. He did not expect that the marriage they had done so far was over compulsion.

"I married you for being forced by my father"

"Airin, I love you. I won't force you to marry me. If all this time you are tormented by this marriage then we can end it" said Prince Syam understanding.

"Initially, I was tormented by this marriage. But over time the love in my heart began to grow to see your patience to face my always indifferent treatment of you. The way you led this country made me even more confident and amazed with you" Airin began to explain his feelings towards the crown prince.

"You mean?"

"I'm beginning to love you prince Sham. Your patience melts my heart" said Airin staring softly with a feeling of love in his heart.

"So you've accepted me?" Prince Sham asked with a happy feeling in his heart.

Airin nodded.

"Thank you Airin, I'm happy to hear it" Prince Sham was very happy to hear Airin's decision. Her patience all along has gotten her results.

"If I may know, why are you forced to marry me?" Prince Sham asked curiously.

"I did it because I wanted to save the man I love. Damar's my personal bodyguard" Airin began telling me about his story.

Degs....

Prince Sham was shocked to hear the reality. It turns out that Airin and Damar have a special relationship. He thought they were close only to the bodyguards and the crown princess. But it also just turns out it's wrong they have a special connection behind it all.

"Me and Damar loved each other. His sacrifice in protecting me all this time made me even more impressed and fell in love with him"

"But our love story is not sanctioned by father. Because if I marry and unite with Damar then the blood of the noble lineage will break. That's why my father asked me to marry you" said Airin sadly.

"I initially disagreed and rejected the proposal you made to me. And that's when I revealed to my father that I and Damar had a relationship. Knowing that, his father dug Damar's assignment to the border. So that we can separate and forget each other. However, we promised that each week we would meet in an old building on the edge of the village. That's where Uncle Ali wanted to harass me when Damar came to see me late. Seeing that, Damar was furious and beat up Uncle Ali"

"Ayahanda expelled Ali's uncle at that time. If I tell you the truth during the trial, Damar will be released but he will be killed for beating up a royal. I do not want Damar killed, until I make a deal with my father I will obey all his father's will as long as Damar is left alive. My father agreed that Damar's sentence is now only in prison last night for five years" Airin said.

Prince Sham listened attentively. He could feel the pain and doubt that Airin felt, but he did not let it interfere with his love. Prince Sham placed his hand gently on Airin's hand, providing little support. He spoke in a soft voice,

"Airin, I know that you still have wounds that have not healed. I will always be with you no matter what. I will try to treat the wound in your heart" Prince Sham said with understanding.

Hearing Prince Sham's words, Airin was impressed. He looked into the man's eyes and sensed the truth from his words.

For the umpteenth time the prince of Sham was shocked to hear what Airin said. One by one, the reality and secrets of Airin's life began to be known by the prince of Sham.

He had no idea that Airin had adoptive parents in the human world. Well even though the prince of Sham participated in the war against the witch Mira, but the crown prince did not know that Airin was once raised by humans.

Airin recounts his past when he meets his adoptive father Raksi.

"This is the story" said Airin ended the story to the prince of Sham.

"I'd like to meet both of your foster parents. Anyway I want to say thank you to them for taking good care of you so that you end up being my wife" Prince Sham said again.

"Well, come with me" Take Airin.

They went to the secret room where the magic mirror was. Where that mirror could open up a passage of time leading to the human world.

Airin cast a spell once given by the Great King to him to open the passage of time.

"Prince Sham here is where I grew up" said Airin after they arrived at his home page in the human world.

"Let's go in" Take her again.

They enter the house and meet with Airin's adoptive parents.

"Mom, sir, there's someone who wants Airin to introduce you to your father and mother. He's Airin's husband"

Raksi and Aisyah looked at each other in confusion because they could not see the existence of the prince of Sham there.

"Airin, did you forget to take us completely unable to see the whereabouts of the husband?" Say Aisyah slowly. Well how could he possibly see the whereabouts of his son-in-law because it came from another world.

"Gosh, Airin forgot" said Airin patting his eel. The girl who had mixed blood also pulled out the water that she had brought earlier from the world of Bunian.

"This is trying to drink this water so that your inner eyes are open and can see the existence of the prince of Sham with us" explained Airin handed a bottle of Drink to his adoptive parents.

They immediately drank the water given by the princess only wayangnya. In the blink of an eye the two of them had opened. Faintly they could see the existence of the prince of Sham standing gallantly together free.

"This is your husband Airin?" Ask the Raksi again.

Airin nodded confirming what her father was asking.

"It turns out he's handsome too" the middle-aged man praised his son-in-law.

Airin and the prince smiled happily at what Raksi said earlier.

Aisyah who knew that Airin had a relationship with Damar before was amazed by the changes that happened to her daughter. Where Airin used to feel very hard hit over their forced marriage. Where Airin must obey the will of his biological father to save Damar the man he loves. because he felt tormented by the marriage, Airin had fled to the human world for several days so that his heart could calm down. Aisyah knew all the stories that happened to the princess only wayangnya because Airin always tell everything without any secrets with his adoptive mother.

When Prince Sham and Raksi went to the middle-aged man's shop to talk, Aisyah pulled her hand into the corner of her room to ask what had really happened to them.

"Airin, do you and the prince of Sham already love each other? Have you been able to accept the full existence of the prince of Sham in your life?" Asiyah asked with full interrogation.

"Have you forgotten Damar in your life?"

Airin took a deep breath and exhaled strongly. To be honest the girl who had mixed blood could not completely forget her first love. But the patience of the prince Sham to face his behavior makes the girl who has mixed blood realize that he and Damar are not a match.

"If you say I completely forgot Damar was wrong, I still remember that man who sacrificed so much for me. But right now I have no other choice but to accept the existence of prince Sham as husband. Where I and the prince of Sham are married, inevitably I have to accept it. Especially so long as it is so patient to face all my wars. All his attitude and manner in facing me and his way of leading the kingdom impressed me. Until I realized this different feeling in my heart towards my husband.

"I'm also sure Damar would hate me and he would no longer accept me in his life. That's why I have to accept all of this. It is not for her that I reject the destiny that has been written for me" explained Airin

"Prince Sham also seemed to love me so much. What's wrong I started to open my heart to my husband and learn to love him wholeheartedly" explained the girl who had mixed blood again to the foster mother.

Aisyah smiled happily at the decision taken by her daughter. At least Airin has found a new life that he believes will make him happy.

"Mom was happy with what you said earlier. Your mother and father can only support all your decisions and wish you all the best so that you can live happily together with the prince of Sham"

"Thank you buk. Thank you for your mother and father's prayers to me. I really feel lucky to have such kind and understanding parents like you" Clearly Airin hugged Aisyah with a feeling filled with affection in her heart.

"Together son"

***

In prison, Damar begins to learn magic spells taught by old men who live in prison with him. During the day, at night he continued to train and continued to practice non-stop. He wanted to make the life of Airin and the prince of Sham suffer for betraying him. Without the garnish of what the water is doing right now is to save himself from death.

"Wait for Airin, wait for my vengeance. I will make you tormented slowly" said Damar as he clasped his hand tightly.
