The girl came to the cemetery to visit her beloved, whom she had lost a month ago, But suddenly, she saw a black box on the gravestone, When she opened it, she froze at what she saw

After the accident, Emma’s life came to a halt.

The world lost its colors, sounds became dull, days and nights blurred into one endless feeling of emptiness. Every day, exactly at 9 a.m., she came to the cemetery. She gently brushed leaves off the marble stone, cleaned the grave, and placed fresh flowers.

She spoke to her beloved—who was no longer alive. She told him about her day, how much she missed him, how she couldn’t understand why fate had been so cruel. It became her ritual—her only anchor in a world without him.

Tears no longer came. It was as if they had dried up inside.

But one gray day, when Emma came to the cemetery as usual, she noticed something strange on the gravestone. A black box. No inscriptions, no decorations. Who could have left it there? And what was inside?

Emma stared at it for a long time, unable to bring herself to touch it. What was it? With a trembling heart, she opened the lid—and froze at what she saw inside. Because inside were…

(Continued in the first comment )

Inside — photographs. Her beloved. Smiling, hugging a girl, kissing her on the cheek. Not her. Another woman. A stranger.

Beneath the photos was a letter. With trembling hands, Emma took it out and unfolded it. The handwriting was neat, but every line was filled with pain and anger:

“You don’t know me. But I knew him. For almost two years. I loved him, thought we’d be together forever. And then… at the funeral, I saw you. You stood there, holding his picture. And it all became clear. He had lied to us all these years. Played with our feelings. Pretended to love. But it was all a lie. I don’t know what you felt for him, but you deserve to know who you’re crying for. He wasn’t a saint. He wasn’t perfect. He doesn’t deserve your tears. Let go. Live. For yourself.”

Emma read the letter over and over again. The ground felt like it was shaking beneath her. Everything she believed to be pure and beautiful love turned out to be an illusion. A betrayal.

She sat down right there on the cold ground. And sat for a long time, until evening fell over the cemetery. Inside her, a storm raged—pain, grief, betrayal, emptiness.

But for the first time in a long while, she didn’t cry. Emma just stared at the sky. He was no longer there. And neither was the love.

Only the black box remained beside her—as a symbol of the truth. Bitter, but freeing.
