The mother burst into her daughter’s room, every movement charged with fear and concern.“What’s happening, my beautiful girl?” she cried, her voice trembling. “Why are you screaming like this?”
Beauty trembled, clutching the blanket tightly around her, fear shining in her eyes.“Mama… something strange has been happening to me every day for the past week,” she whispered. “I was scared to tell you at first, but now I have to… you have to believe me.”
Her mother took a cautious step closer, her heart pounding with worry. She gently pulled back the blanket—and what she saw left her completely shocked.“Who did this to you, my sweet girl?” she shouted, a mix of disbelief and anger in her voice. “Tell me right now!”
Beauty trembled as she answered,“I don’t know, mama… every morning I wake up and something has happened. At first, I ignored it because everything else seemed normal, but this morning… I saw the mark. I got so scared I had to tell you.”
Her mother’s voice shook, eyes full of love and fear:“All right, we’ll get dressed immediately and go to the doctor so I can be sure you’re okay. We’ll talk about the rest later.”Beauty nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks.
After a while, they set off to the doctor, her mother’s heart heavy with tension and worry.“Doctor, please… reassure me,” her mother said, her voice quivering. “My daughter… she’s okay, right?”
The doctor looked at them gravely, her face somber.“You must understand, there are many questions that need to be asked… but we’ll do everything we can, alright?”At home, the mother sat down, gazing at her daughter with a mix of sternness and tenderness.
“Beauty, tell me the truth. Who did this to you? Just tell me, my heart needs to know.”Beauty struggled with her tears, whispering:“I don’t know, mama… oh God, even my father doesn’t know… but there’s a secret… Hamdi told me I should never tell you, mama…”
Her mother stared at her, stunned.“What secret? Tell me right now!”Beauty shook with fear as she spoke:“One time, when it was just me and Hamdi at home, I prepared food for him… and he said he loved me so much… His words, his actions… they terrified me.”
Her mother’s eyes darkened with anger.“How could this happen, Beauty? How could you keep something like this from me for so long?”Beauty sobbed through her words:“I was scared of him… he said if I told you, he’d stop me from going to university…”
Her mother’s hand went to her forehead, exhausted and heartbroken:“Oh God… what can I do for you, my sweet girl?”Beauty’s voice trembled as she continued:“But mama… I don’t want to blame Hamdi… because Emad also came into my room one night…”
Her mother interrupted in horror:“What? Emad? What did he do? Tell me now!”Beauty, trembling but honest, said:“He only wanted to help me study… but I got scared and rejected him…”Her mother let out a deep sigh, her voice trembling:
“Enough… just rest now. I will find out the truth, and I’ll handle it.”Beauty nodded and, exhausted, hurried to her room.That evening, Hamdi and Emad came home, tired. Zahra had carefully prepared dinner.
“Why didn’t Beauty come eat with us?” Hamdi asked, surprised.“She’s tired… she needed to rest all day,” Zahra said coldly.When Emad tried to check on Beauty, Zahra misled him, the tension in the air almost palpable.
That night, Beauty’s scream shook the entire house. Hamdi woke in panic, Zahra and Emad rushed to her room, but the door was locked. Hamdi quickly broke it open, and they all stood trembling beside their daughter.
“Beauty!” Zahra cried, her voice shaking. “Open your eyes! We’re here… everything will be okay!”But Beauty couldn’t regain consciousness. Zahra ran desperately for help, while Hamdi immediately called the doctor.
Soon, the doctor arrived and examined Beauty. Her face was serious and somber.“Unfortunately, her condition is very serious,” she said.Tears streamed down Zahra’s face.“My daughter… she’s lost… in her own home… oh God, what could I have done?”
Emad tried to soothe her.“Calm down, mama… everything will be okay, trust me.”Yet the shadow of fear, tension, and secrets hung over everyone in the house. Zahra glared at her sons, furious.
“I’m sure one of you did this… Beauty told me everything that happened while I wasn’t here!”Hamdi and Emad looked at each other, shocked and tense, the room vibrating with suspense.“What exactly did she say, mama?” Hamdi asked, trying to sound calm.
“Exactly what I told her yesterday… to lock herself in her room… and yet it still happened,” Zahra said angrily.Hamdi swallowed nervously, trying to defend himself:“Mama… believe me… I didn’t know anything…”
Zahra interrupted, furious:“Don’t tell me you didn’t know! Tell me who did this to my daughter!”Tears welled up in Hamdi’s eyes as fear and guilt consumed him.“Mama… I’ll tell you… the one who did this to Beauty… is…”
