The Cursed Ring

The Truth of the Album

Mona ran home as fast as she could.

The garden was right behind her house.

She went back to the old box again.

There, she found a dusty old album and a notebook.

Every single moment of their love was written inside it.

Suddenly, Grandmother’s spirit appeared in front of her.

`"Mona, look at the album,"` she said softly.

Mona opened it and gasped.

There was a girl inside who looked exactly like her.

Grandmother whispered,

`"The one you think is Rayan... he is actually Alex.

Alex liked you too, but you never knew. He was your childhood friend.

But he never had the courage to tell you."`

Her voice trembled.

`"One day, he saw you and Rayan by the lake.

Jealousy filled his heart. He decided to kill Rayan.

He called Rayan to the rose garden in your name. I saw everything."`

`"Alex was a master of dark magic.

I ran after them to save Rayan, but I was too late.

He turned Rayan into a cursed black rose.

I hit Alex with a stick to save him.

His black ring broke and the stone fell out.

He screamed and vanished into darkness."`

`"I took the broken stone ring and brought it home.

I had no idea... that one day you would wear it

and wake Alex’s spirit again."`

`"Mona, you don’t have much time left.

Only your pure love can wake Rayan up

and destroy Alex forever."`

Without thinking, Mona ran back to the garden.

Beside Alex’s coffin, she saw another coffin.

With shaking hands, she opened it.

Inside lay a single black rose.

Tears fell from her eyes. Her love touched the rose.

And slowly... Rayan opened his eyes.

At the same moment, the stone in Mona’s ring shattered.

Alex’s coffin caught fire and burned to ashes.

Mona and Rayan held each other in a deep embrace.

The curse was broken.

And so their new life began.

*The End.*
