*THE BRIDE WHO VANISHED AT MIDNIGHT*
EPISODE I
The whole village celebrated when Musa, a hardworking young farmer, married Mariama, the most beautiful girl in town. Their wedding was filled with joy, laughter, and blessings. Everyone said Musa was the luckiest man alive.
But on the very first night of their marriage, Musa noticed something strange. At exactly midnight, Mariama would quietly rise from the bed, open the door, and disappear into the darkness. By morning, she was back, pretending nothing had happened.
At first, Musa thought he was dreaming. But when it happened again, night after night, fear grew inside him. Where did his bride go at midnight? Why did she never tell him? He could no longer sleep in peace.
One night, Musa decided to follow her. He waited until she left, then slowly trailed her steps through the village, his heart pounding. Mariama walked like someone in a trance, heading deep into the forest where no one dared to go at night.
Hidden behind a tree, Musa’s eyes widened in horror. Mariama stood in a clearing surrounded by eerie lights. There, waiting for her, was a tall shadowy figure with burning eyes. She knelt before him like a servant before a master.
The figure spoke in a voice that shook the trees: “You are mine forever. You may marry in this world, but at midnight, you belong to me.” Musa’s heart shattered. His beloved wife was bound to a spirit husband.
Trembling, he ran back home. He never confronted Mariama, for he knew the truth would destroy him. From that day, he lived with silent pain, married to a woman who vanished at midnight every night claimed by a spirit he could never defeat.
