Chapter 17 - The Road to Happily Ever After

{Some peoples may act tough in front of the others… They made the others think that the things that the others throw at them, doesn't hurt them at all… Spreading bad rumors, Throwing insulting words at them, And many more bad things that peoples others do unto them…}

{These things hurt more than cutting yourself… The words that they throw are knives that pierces to there heart and soul… the longer that the knife stays, the more painful someone feels… }

{A lot of person already thinks that maybe it would be easier for them to just end their suffering by killing themselves than staying to get stabbed by a lot of more from the present on forward...}

{Humans are very fragile than the way they look… it might apply to their physicality or mentality but in the end… It would still hurt them even if it's just only one each is being hurt…}

"How long has it been I wonder? When I discovered the rings?" Rose asked unto herself

(Back in year 17XX-Rose's Back Story)

Witches are women that made a pact with demons is what they have believed, from a very long time ago… This is no lie at all… Every witch back in these times were burned down… This is to avoid any witchcrafts to spread in the land…'

Rose was born as a witch… She has taken over the curse that her great, great, great grandmother got… She was always being thrown some stones and insults when people see her…The town people wouldn't dare to try and kill her for they don't have any solid proof of her being one and they are also afraid that she would bring destruction to their village if her ghost turns into a demon, if ever she is a witch…But they won't stop of hurting Rose and because of this, her mother decided to live in the forest where no one could easily reach…

"Mother… Will there really no one who would hurt me anymore?" The young Rose Asked

"Yes…No one will be able to hurt you now…" The mother smiled unto her child and then embraced her so tightly…

"Rose… it might be too early for you yet but, I have to give this to you now…" Her mother said to her

She then closed her hand and chanted a spell unto it… Her hand shined bright, and the moment that her mother opened that hand, There was a golden ring in her palm that has a stone that shine a beautiful red...

The ring looked like the same as her mother wears on her ring finger… Both of it were gold…

"Your Great, Great, Great Grandmother made a pact with the demons for her to be with her beloved… How Foolish right?" Her mother said as she chuckled

"You are now the new holder of the rings… If you break it, you will die and the demons will try to get your soul…That is why… protect it ok?" Her mother said as she handed it to her…

~A few years later~

Rose was out to get fruits and vegetables to eat…after picking, she went home to prepare diner…

As soon as she opened the door, she was surprised to see that the door was destroyed, everything was a mess and her mother was gone…

Her mother was captured by men and is going to be executed by burning… She hurriedly went to the town by teleporting herself in some alleys in the town… A lot of people were gathered and her Mother was hanging up above in the Stick that is in the middle of a big fire that they made…

(Run away from here!) her mother said to her, using telepathy…

Rose did not waste anytime anymore and decided to go back to their home… On her way home, She encountered a lake and tried to throw away the rings…

"AHHHH!!!BECAUSE OF THIS STUPID RINGS, OUR LIFE HAS BEEN MISERABLE!!! WHY DO WE NEED TO TAKE ON WHAT OUR ANCESTORS DID??? WHY?... Why???..." She shouted out of anger…

She was able to throw one of the rings but, she couldn't throw away the other one… the ring for female holders which is smaller in size, the one that her mother wore… she wore it on her middle finger so that she could always remember her mother whenever she looks at it…

The other ring that was thrown away, flows away and was eventually found by a young merchant who was just passing by from the village…

"Wow…what a beautiful ring this is… I've never seen such a beautiful stone in my whole life!" the man said as he wore it on his middle finger…

(Now that mother is gone… I no longer have anyone… I got nothing left... should I just die and end the curse with me?) An unknown voice, spoke in the you man's mind…

(Eh?! Who?...) The man said in to his mind

Rose was the one speaking… she felt confused when an unknown voice spoke in her mind…

With her powers, she tried to find the one who was speaking in her mind… She found such a handsome young man with a beautiful blonde hair and emerald eyes…

Her heart was stolen at that moment…

When their eyes met, the ring shone a red light that made the villagers go to that certain place they are in…

In alarm, Rose whistled and summoned her magic broom. She took the young man's hand and together, they fly in the forest…

The man doesn't seem to be afraid of her in spite of being aware that she is a witch… She then questioned the young man if he is a wizard for he could talk in her mind…

"I am Shimi Rivamare… I was adopted by a good witch when my parents died back when I was still a child… I had learned that there are good and bad witches… I am now on a journeying to sell gold stuffs that she created… And you are?" Shimi asked to her

"I…I'm Rose Picar…" Rose introduced…

Rose then invited Shimi in her house to have tea and pastries as an apology… As Shimi looked around, she noticed that the place was quite in a mess… He saw a painting of a woman and a little girl that seem to look like Rose and identified the woman as the witch who was burned to death, earlier… He then, figured that Rose is the daughter of the witch he saw in the town…

Rose took her magic wand and swing it and made a kettle, water, and a pack of tea float… the water and tea entered inside of the kettle and the kettle was then placed in a fire…

(Boiling the tea…I've never heard of it…)-Shimi

"Well…it makes it more nice this way." Rose said

With another swing of the wand, The ingredients for baking was pulled from the shelves and then started to mix in a mixing bowl… After mixing, It was poured in a baking pan and was placed in an oven…

Those time were very magical for Shimi… After a few minutes, the tea and cake was served… As they were about to take a bite, Voices of villagers were heard… they are heading towards Rose's home!

Rose went around the house to take some stuffs and put it inside a magical bag that can fit anything…

"Would you like to come together with me?" Shimi invited as he reached out his hand

Rose took his hand and the two of them rode on a magic broom…

Shimi leaded her towards the home of the witch that has taken care of him…

In there, they were more safe and lived a peaceful life. Shimi and Rose gradually fell in love with each other and lived happily ever after.

(Back to the present)

Rose was secretly watching Aria and Allen's date… The two of them watched movies and do a lot of fun things that they wanted to do in the town…

Afterwards… Aria went and introduced Allen to her parents…

"Allen right? Honey, looks like we did had luck with our daughter! She scored big time! If I remember correctly, he was the honor student who spoke in the stage back at the opening ceremony when Aria was still starting at High School?" Her mother said to her Father

Aria thought that they were being meddlesome in her life and only wants her to get good scores and then find a good job so that she would be the one to provide all her parents need in the future but, They were just concern at her… In fact, they secretly watched over her on her first day of high school…

There were times that Teens feels that they were just being controlled by their parents and that was the case for Aria… Now that she learned a lot, she was able to understand her parents' good wishes for her…

Tom and Lea was able to persuade his parents and the two took the job as soon as they graduate… Arlene and Jerry started dating… Edward was able to find a nice girl who he met in college… Aria and Allen continued to date even at College… Allen became an actor and Singer while Aria became a teacher in Highschool…

Jerry and Arlene decided to open a café that specializes in ube flavored pastries. Jerry told to Arlene that the ube from Philippines is very famous in their country. Arlene suggested that they open a café and she'll bake treats with ube on it. Those were recipes that she learned from her mother before she moved there from Philippines…

Allen became second in the popularity pole in the app, next to Tom… Aria and Audrey were friends again

After a year in their own job, Allen proposed to Aria with a specially designed rings that looked exactly as the ones that they wore before…

"Aria, would you marry me and be my partner for life?" Allen said as he knelt down and pulled out a box that contains the rings…

"Yes!" Aria answered and smiled… You could see the happiness from her eyes

Allen stood up and hugged Aria out of too much Happiness…

"(I already predicted that she won't reject me. Because I'm the one perfect for her still…It really makes me still happy!) is what you are thinking right?"-Aria said to Allen as she seemed to predict what Allen was thinking when she Accepted his proposal

(At the wedding day- At the room of the groom)

"Bad News! The Bride was Gone!" Audrey said

All of them came running to the bride's room and saw a letter pasted on the mirror…

"I won't Let you have Aria- Shawn" the letter said

As soon that they read the letter, Allen went out and drove a car to find Aria… Rose appeared and seated on the back seat of the car…

"They are in an abandoned building in xxx street." Rose guided Allen

After a few minutes, they have finally arrived… Aria was unconscious and tied up and has bruises all over her body…

Allen rushed towards her and untied her.

"She said that she'll love and marry me. We promised to each other that when we finally succeeded in life, we'll get married. I know that I angered her… I was trying to reflect for years… But when the moment I finished reflecting, she was going to marry another man??? Hah! Like hell I'd let that happen!" Shawn said as he appeared

Out of anger, Allen stood up and raised his fist to punch Shawn…But little did Allen know that Shawn was hiding a knife and would stab Allen…

"Rose…t…ake Aria…away from here…call for help!" Allen said

"I don't have a physical body! It's impossible! I can only manipulate weather…the two of you are the only ones who could see me…" Rose said

Rose tried calling out to Aria so that she would wake up… but it was no use…

The cut was so deep that Allen is feeling weak… Shawn is getting ready to stab Allen again!

"STOP!!!" Aria shouted and made Shawn lose his focus. Allen took that chance to beat down Shawn and tied him up

Later on, they called the police and ambulance… The wedding was postponed… Shawn was then taken to the police station for kidnapping, attempted murder, and for the abuse he had done to Aria… After hearing the statements of the victims, Shawn was imprisoned…

Allen was recovering in the hospital and Aria was watching over him together with Rose… Rose then told

Her about the rings…

"The rings were originally both gold…But the other one turned to silver when I found true love with

Your grandfather… Gold is one of the things that symbolizes witches but, it turned to silver instead…

That's when I thought that maybe if my descendant found true love together with someone, then

Maybe…the curse will totally be broken…But…nobody was able to see me for the years I wondered aimlessly…The two of you were the only one who could see me…The rings cannot be removed not until one of the holders dies… the other way to remove the ring is to find love with each other… At that time, me and my husband were able to remove and put it on however we want…But this time, the rings disappeared…This could only mean that the curse is finally broken and I can be reborn" Rose explained

"Why go that far if you could just pass on like the other witches?" Aria asked

"Well…If I pass on, I only have the option of going to hell…There was this rule that anyone who are involved on making a pact with demons would go to hell… Who would want that? As far as I've heard, Hell is an un-ending flames with worms swarming everywhere and enters to your body…Blegh… and… if there's a chance for me to go to heaven, I would like to take that chance" Rose said as she smiled

Allen and Aria kept silent for they think that they would miss her…

"Granny, Thank You" Allen said and made Rose cry out of both happiness and sadness…

After recovering, Allen and Aria resumed their marriage and vowed to be with each other in pain and suffering, through sadness and happiness, and till death do them apart…

{Hmm… I wonder if it is considered of wanting to go on a date with her, is still called dating…}

"Yaho! We came!" Jerry said as he appeared together with Arlene, Lea, Tom, Audrey and Edward…

"Uncle Edward!" The young girl shouted and run towards Edward…

{Are you still single Mr. Allen?}

"You guys! How were you doing? Audrey, I heard that you decided to not get married and just adopted a child…" Aria said

"Yeah…But I don't regret any of it! That child was a very nice and good kid!" Audrey proudly said

"Ehh??? Can We be friends?" The young girl asked, excitedly
