Hard-to-Believe Story of Manohara

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 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. It is a nightmare, I can say. Kidnapping, escaping, and being abused by her husband as i read in newspaper, are hard to believe for me.

The escaping. Months after her marriage, she escaped from Malaysia. She claimed if she had been abused by her husband. This escaping was helped by her mother. It is the first unbelievable news for me. Being abused? well yes, I do not agree if so. It's unacceptable. Manohara is physically abused. Her chest was slitted by razor blade. It is a cruel thing.

The kidnapping. The newspaper I read, wrote about her kidnapping in Mecca. She was kidnapped after having a pilgrimage in Mecca with her mother and sister. Although the one who kidnapped her is her own husband, I do really can not imagine it. Being separated with Mom? I can not describe what would I feel! It is just too harsh! there's no one wants to be separated with Mom. Tragic!

She is now free. Thank God. She is still young, and has many dreams in her future. I hope her already-built model career will not be disturbed due to this case. She still has a long road to walk. I give my salute in her 'rescuing' drama in Singapore in the end of last month. She had a very brave action to push the lift's emergency button which is successfully worked to call out the Singapore Cops. Her brave action saves her!
