“Engraved in Stone”
1987~2008

“THE BEAST”

After days of intense discussion and coaxing
Her mother finally gave up
And decide that it was time to go home
The suitor was not impress at all
Because he was promised her hand in marriage
In fact, he was fuming
How could this slip of a girl deny him?


Story of her life
The matchmaking started when she was 19 years of age
On her 21st birthday an elder bachelor,
Aged 42 was invited
Hoping that she would accept
Brave young woman that she was
Stood her ground
Told her uncle that he could have the suitor
Relieved that nothing came of this matchmaking

Two hrs to go before her mother’s flight
She took off work to take her mum to the airport
Her phone rang as she got out of the car
An uneasy feeling
But proceeded along the path leading to the front door
Felt eerie, like someone was watching her
Talking to her friend she knocked on the door

Once inside she greeted found that they left for the airport already
The suitor was straight mouthed with strange look in his eyes
Still talking to her friend she walked back to the door
Perhaps she will still be in time to greet her mum
The half opened door was slammed closed from behind her
Pulled by her shoulder the Beast standing over her
Ranting and raving about her rude behaviour!
Her so called disregarding for elders and their traditions

She was so afraid but found the strength to go for the door again
Still with her phone in hand hearing the concern in the callers voice
A scream escaped from her throat as she was flung against the wall
Knocking her head
She tried running to the staircase but he grabbed her wrist
And the phone fell to the carpeted floor
Her futile kick to his groin landed her a fist in the face
Falling hard with her head against the edge of the balustrade
She lost consciousness not sure for how long
When she came too she was on the sofa
The Beast was leaning over her with a glass of water
She hit the glass in his face and kicked him in the stomach
Cursing he slapped her hard against the head
Her head jerked back
Deafening pain made her head spin

She was semi conscious when he tore off her dress
Cursing and saying it is her fault
That she deserved what was coming to her
The brutality of what he did
The excruciating pain surging through her core

He violated her being
He took from her, her honour
Degraded her in the worst possible way
The room spinned and everything went black
When she came too, her friend was there
He carried her to the car and took her to the hospital
Emergency doctor on duty called the police.


What happened after are what you least expect...
