Fiction Short Story

Part 1 – MARRIAGE INTERVIEW
The moment the girl saw her future husband –
she started trembling with fear.
He looked ferocious – like a barbarian – a savage
brute.
Yes – “Monster”
– that is first word that came to the delicate girl’s mind when she saw her
future husband.
(So – Dear Reader – in this story – we will refer to him
as “Monster”…)
The “Monster” looked at the fragile girl –
and he said to the girl’s aunt:
“The girl seems very frightened…”
“No. No. She is okay…” the girl’s aunt said.
“She looks very young…”
“No. No. She is 18. Do you want me to get her
birth certificate…?”
“Yes. We will require her birth certificate
and other documents for her visa. I hope the girl has a passport…”
“Yes. Yes. It has just come…” the girl’s aunt
said. “I assure you – she is not a minor…”
“What I meant was that she doesn’t seem ready
for marriage…”
“No. No. She is ready for marriage…”
“But – is she ready to marry me…? I am 33 – I
am more than 15 years older than her…”
“Of course she wants to marry you…” the girl’s
aunt said.
The “Monster” looked at the delicate girl and
he asked her:
“Are you sure that you want to get married to
me…?”
The girl’s aunt looked sternly at the girl –
and – the girl meekly nodded her head.
And so – a few days later – the delicate 18
year old girl got married to the intimidating 33 year old “Monster”
Part 2 – THE “FIRST NIGHT”
The girl sat on the bedecked bed.
She was still wearing her wedding finery.
The girl looked at the flowers on the bed – “Flowers”
for her “Deflowering” ceremony.
Tonight – her husband – the “Monster” – he would
“deflower” her.
The girl felt terrified at the thought of
what was going to happen to her.
What her uncle had tried to do – her husband
would now do – and she could do nothing about it.
When her uncle had tried to rape her – she had
fought back – but now – she would have to meekly submit – and surrender her
body to her husband’s carnal desires.
The girl heard voices outside the room.
Her husband’s friends wanted to “celebrate”
the wedding with a booze party.
She hoped that her husband would get so drunk
that he would just “pass out” and go to sleep – unable to “perform” – and her
agony would be postponed to another night.
Then – a frightening thought came to her
brain – suppose her husband got violently drunk – then he would savage her even
more brutally…”
The delicate girl felt terrified as she
imagined what was going to happen to her.
Suddenly – she heard her husband’s voice:
“No. I will not drink tonight. You guys
enjoy. My wife is waiting for me and I must go to her now…”
The girl saw the door opening.
Her husband – the “Monster” – he entered the bedroom
– decorated for the “first-night”.
He looked at his newly-wedded wife – and he said
to her:
“I
know we couldn’t go on our honeymoon immediately after our marriage – but don’t
worry – once we get back to New Zealand – I will take you to Queenstown – and I
will show you all the lovely places in the Southern Alps – we will have a long
honeymoon…”
Then – the “Monster” started walking towards
the girl.
The “Monster” sat on the bed – he looked at
the girl’s face – and he said to the girl:
“Are you feeling okay…? You are sweating –
and shivering…”
The terrified girl looked at the “Monster”
with beseeching eyes.
The “Monster” looked at his newly-wedded wife
and he said to her:
“Okay. I understand. You are not ready for
me. You don’t worry. I will not force myself on you. I will come to you only
when you want me to come to you. You go to sleep. I will sleep on the sofa…”
And so – on their “first night” – the girl
slept on the bed – and her husband – the “Monster” – he slept on the sofa.
