The wedding in Ravenwood Village was supposed to be the happiest night of Meera's life. But just before midnight, the bride suddenly disappeared from her locked room.
Her wedding dress, jewelry, and shoes were still there. Only her wedding ring was missing.
The groom, Arjun, searched everywhere. Then the villagers heard a woman's soft laughter coming from the abandoned mansion near the forest.
Arjun followed the sound.
Inside the mansion, he discovered a dusty photograph showing a bride who looked exactly like Meera. The photograph was dated ninety years earlier.
Suddenly, a cold voice whispered, “She promised to return.”
The mansion doors slammed shut.
Arjun saw a pale woman standing at the end of the hallway. She wore the same wedding dress Meera had worn that night.
“Where is Meera?” he screamed.
The woman pointed toward an old mirror.
Arjun looked inside and saw Meera trapped behind the glass, silently crying for help.
He smashed the mirror.
The room went completely dark.
When the villagers arrived, they found Arjun unconscious beside the broken mirror. Meera was gone.
But her wedding ring was lying on the floor.
The next morning, villagers discovered an old grave beneath the mansion. The name on it was Meera—the bride who had mysteriously disappeared ninety years ago.
Since that night, every wedding in the village ends before midnight.
Because sometimes, people say, the missing bride returns to claim another groom.
