Hard-to-Believe Story of Manohara - improved!

It is about the case of Manohara Odelia Pinot, 17-year-old girl whose face is now famous all around Indonesia. She married to Kelantan Prince when she was only 16. Her life story is unlike in the common fairytale story, story about the marriage of a prince with a girl, which always have happy-ending at the end. She’s hurt a lot, as I can see in the news.

She is young –very young!- but suffered. In her age, she had experienced awful things. She said she was unhappy to be in the Kelantan Palace. She was locked alone in a room and she had been physically abused. Her chest was slitted by razor blade. As her confession, her husband did that. How come? That question always forms in my mind. It’s just unbelievable. Physically abused and locked in a room? Oh No. that’s very bad and cruel thing! It’s like living in a golden cage.
Her husband has bad attitude. How come a husband can hurt his wife physically? I don’t think he realized if she’s just too young. She still has long future. How if the thing that he did to her can caused a big trauma for Manohara? It can ruin her future.

Things she got are very unacceptable. Being abused, locked in a room, and kidnapped! This kidnapping happened in Mecca. She was kidnapped from her own mother. Unbelievable! (again). Being separated with Mom? I can’t imagine that. It’s just too harsh. Tragic!

She is now free. She is still young and has many dreams in her future. I hope her already-built model career will not be ruined due to this case. She still has a long road to walk. I give my salute in her ‘rescuing’ drama in Singapore. She had a very brave action to push the lift’s emergency button which is successfully worked to call out the Singapore Cops. She’s finally free from the golden cage because of her brave action!
