all he took was one spray of the perfume and PMI realized that some gifts are better left unopened once upon a time there lived a beautiful woman who lived and walked in the big city her name was be Dei and she was greatly loved by those around her her smile lit up rooms and her laughter was so infectious one day P returned home from work and met a gift sitting outside her door she picked it up and wondered who could have sent it she walked into her house scanning through the package to see if there

was a note attached with a name but all she found was a simple card that read May the aura of this perfume bring you the attention that you deserve the perfume bottle was unique a crystal glass with a golden nozzle that shimmered under her warm bedroom light B me smiled as assuming it was from a secret admirer or a client who was only expressing gratitude curiosity got the better part of her and without hesitation she pressed the nozzle and sprayed it lightly on her neck the fragrance was divine at first a sweet blend of Jasmine

and sandwood B me inhal deeply soring the scent but then her nose twitched and her eyes began to water slightly something felt off forbid me brush it off as stress she dropped the perfume on her dresser and got herself ready for bed knowing how busy her morning was going to be when morning camei woke up feeling OD there was a terrible smell in her room and she could not help but ask herself where the smell was coming from as she walked into the bathroom to freshen up the smell heightened and bidi realized that I was

coming from her did I poop on myself for something she thought to herself as she took a long bath scrubbing herself on her skin hurt but the smell persisted foul and pungent like stagnant water mixed with rotten eggs when she arrived work her colleagues could not help but notice the horrible smell is there a dead rat somewhere someone whispered as another revealed that it smelled like sewage Bei recalled in her cheek here as she pondered on why she was smelling her colleague approached her holding her nose softly me I think something might be wrong should

we not go see a doctor she said to Bei whose eyes brimmed with embarrassment feeling so humilated hii rushed home to take another bath no matter how many baths she took or how many expensive perfume she sprayed on her skin the smell only grew worse at it clung to her like a shadow that evening as she sat at home crying her boyfriend midday decided to pay her a visit they had been dating for a year and be me hope that he would provide some form of comfort to her but as soon as he entered her

apartment he gagged and covered his nose what's that smell mid please I don't know what's happening to me mid stepped back as his face Twisted in disgust you smell like a dead CSE what did you do to smell this terribly he asked BMI who stood their heartbroken to hear such hurtful words from him mid could not hide his discomfort he held his nose tightly gagging as he tried not to vomit Bei pleaded with him not to go but mid want her to stay away from him until you fix yourself I don't want to see you

anywhere around me mid said as he walked out of her house leaving her alone with her shame BMI could not contain her hurt she called her best friend TOA who arrived her home a few hours later TOA met BMI broken and in tears she assured BMI that everything would be fine however she could not help but notice the stench that came from her friend when did this all begin to asked BMI who narrated everything to her she pointed at the perfume which was still sitting on her dresser I believe the perfume is behind everything that

happening BMI said to her friend T who walked towards the dresser and picked up the perfume bottle she stared at it for a brief moment and smashed it to the ground the content evaporated before their eyes as TOA St that the shattered remains on the floor the golden shards glittered under the faint light but the foul stench in the air remained as thick and suffocating as ever it's gone now be me TOA said softly turning back to her friend whatever curse was in that bottle should be broken by now but Bei could still smell it

it clung to her skin her hair and her very Soul TOA what if it's not just the perfume what if it's me bmi's voice broke as tears ran down her cheeks TOA hugged her tightly though she flinched slightly as the smell assaulted her senses no be me not you we figure this out together okay you're not alone that night to stayed with bidi they barely slept as bidi cried herself into exhaustion later that night pidi woke up to a faint sound of toar talking to someone on the phone I'm so happy it worked T whispered

on the phone as she thanked the unknown person for coming up with such a great plan B me stood there shocked as she wondered what TOA was talking about she returned to her bed and pretended to be asleep her heart pounding in her chest as sta stood silently in the doorway B me could swear that she saw something cold and calculating in her friend's eyes she squeezed her eyes short her mind racing with questions that she had no answers to what did she mean by I'm happy it wored who was she talking to could T

have done this to me Bei thought to herself deeply as she was unable to sleep by morning she had T leave the house in a hurry and this heightened her suspicion as she wondered why tah was acting so strangely hours passed and bidi could not take her mind off the call she sat in her living room alone her mind swelling with thoughts as she heard a knock on her door BMI wondered who it could be with trembling hands she opened the door and saw Yi who was standing there with a smile on his face Yi

was a man from her PA who had always been kind to her for years he had expressed his love for her but BMI had never felt the same way about him still they remain friends before life pulled them in different directions B me had not seen Yi in two years and was shocked to see him at her door Yi's face was a mix of concern and shock as he stepped into the house the stench hit him immediately as he tried to hold his breath breath bidi what happened here what is that smell he asked bidi

who burst out in tears in front of him y could not stand to see her cry he urged her to narrate the entire story to him and BMI began to narrate all that happened Yi sat beside her ignoring the stench as he listened to her heart touching story through choking SSI told him everything about the perfume the unbearable smell mid's hurtful words and how her life had crumbled in merits when she mentioned TOA her voice wavered Yi I think TOA knows something I think she did something to me Yi frowned his brows KN together DOA

your best friend why would she do something like this I don't know YY but last night I heard her on the phone she said I'm so happy it worked and when she thought I was was asleep she stood over me just staring like she was watching me suffer Yi stayed silent for a moment before speaking firmly be me I will advise you not to jump into conclusions until you are really sure do is your best friend and you don't want to do anything to jeopardize your friendship if you end up being wrong he said to

be the me who nodded her head in agreement the days that followed we are filled with more suspicions as be me could not help but question to's actions on the day that she saw the perfume the way she smashed the bottle to the ground without inspecting it or suggesting that they analyz its content felt rushed as if she was trying to destroy evidence that evening as PMI sat with t in the living room T said something that raised her suspicions sometimes we have to lose everything to see who really cares about us the way she

said it send chills down BMI spine as though she was finally admitting to something BMI could not hold back any longer she confronted TOA accusing her of being behind all that was happening to enough I can't keep pretending everything is fine when I know something isn't right you've been acting so suspiciously and I can't ignore it anymore dollar raised an eyebrow her expression unreadable be me what are you talking about you smashed the perfume without inspecting it and you have been acting so strangely the other night you told someone that you are happy to worked

and then there's the way you look at me sometimes like you enjoy seeing me suffer are you behind this toar are you the reason my life has fallen apart TOA could not believe her ears for a moment the two friends stared at each other in silence as T's lips curled into a bitter smile after everything I've done for you you dare accuse me of this I've been there for you be me while everyone left while mid walked away while your life crumbled I stayed and this is how you repay me staying doesn't mean innocence toar

me Shut back without remorse to's face Twisted with Fury as she grabbed her purse and began to walk away I won't stand here and let you accuse me of such evil you've changed be me you're not the friend I used to know she said as she stum out of the house slamming the door behind her Yi arrived shortly after to had left he found bidi called up on her couch in tears she's gone Yi she didn't deny it she just walked away Yi sat beside her as he began to comfort her sometimes silence is an

admission of guilt be the me but we get to the bottom of this you're not alone in this fight for the next few weeks YY stayed by B me side they visited doctors herbalists and even traditional healers for no cure worked each dayi grew weaker not just from the smell but from the emotional weight of her suffering finally y inform B of A powerful Prophet who his friend had recommended to him he called him on the phone and the prophet agreed to visit her in her home when he arrived he revealed to her that she

was cursed you carry a curse my child a curse placed by someone who is so close to you a friend who envies you and desires to see you broken B's voice shook as she asked if it was TOA the prophet nodded solemnly yes your friend who you trusted the most is the cause of your suffering but her curse is not permanent he said as he handed her his substance to drink BMI drank the liquid and began to feel a burning sensation in her body it burned as it went down and her entire body felt like

it was on fire B screamed as her skin felt like it was being peeled away then suddenly it stopped the air around her felt clean BMI took a deep breath and for the first time in weeks there was no Sten YY is gone the smell is gone she said excitedly as YY pulled her into an Embrace his voice trembling with relief the St was gone and BMI could not contain her joy in the weeks that followed bmi's life slowly returned to normal her smile came back her skin glowed again and she started to feel alive

YY remained by her side his devotion unwavering their friendship blossom into love and YY asked her to marry him be without thinking twice agreed and Y was so delighted my mom is around and I would like you to meet her he said to BMI who followed him home to meet his mother they had dinner together and BMI was able to win his mother's heart after dinner YY pleaded with BMI to wait in the living room whilst he has a word with his mother she sat there alone as she waited for him to return BMI tried

to reach for the television remote which had fallen to the side of the sofa she put her hand in to get it out when she saw a piece of rumpled paper by the sofa be me opened the paper and froze in shock to realize that it was the receipt of the evil perfume the same perfume that almost ruined her life Yi was the one who gifted her the perfume and not her best friend TOA who she had accused of being behind it all just as she stood there Frozen YY walked into the room and saw

the receipt in her hand he froze in the doorway his eyes locking onto the crumpled receipt in bm's hand for a brief moment time seemed to stand still as they both stared at each other YY you bought the perfume you did this to me Demi's voice cracked her lips trembling as tears pulled in her eyes Yi sighed heavily rubbing his face with both hands before slowly walking towards her Bei I can explain explain she snapped her voice Rising explain how you cursed me explain how you stood by me while I suffered how you watch me

fall apart while pretending to care yy's shoulders slumped as his face Twisted with guilt I didn't mean for you to go this far me I just wanted you to see me to need me to need you you destroyed me YY you watched me lose everything my job my relationship my dignity and you pretended to save me why Yi why would you do this Yi stood across from her his hand shaking as he spoke because I loved you Bei for years I loved you but you never seemed to reciprocate my love I was always the good

friend the safe Choice the man who you never considered so one day it thoughts ran through my mind that if I make you vulnerable maybe you might finally see me and love me the way I love you I visited the prophet who told me to bring a bottle of perfume I did as he instructed and watch him do some incantations on it he promised me that he had the remedy so I planted the gift at your doorstep hoping that my plan would work when everything played out the way that I wanted I invited the prophet

back to your home to give you the remedy BMI all I did was because I love you so much y said to BMI whose tears fell freely as she staggered backwards clutching the receipt in her hand you are supposed to be my friend YY you are supposed to help me but instead you broke me you let me believe that TOA my best friend was the villain you let me carry that hatred in my heart for this long Yi stood there his hands reaching towards her be me please I'm so sorry I never wanted this to

happen I thought I could fix it before it went too far no YY she caught him sharply you don't get to ask for forgiveness you don't get to act like this was a mistake when you planned it all I trusted you YY she whispered as she turned and began to leave I want you out of my life here me don't call me don't look for me and don't ever come near me in your life again she said as she walked out of the door in the days that followed PMI focused on healing she reached out

to her best friend TOA apologizing for all the horrible things that she said to her hugged her tightly you were hot be me you were SP for answers I forgive you and I'm just glad that you're okay Bei and TOA hugged themselves tightly as sta Finally Revealed who she was talking to that night it was her brother who was planning a surprise birthday party for their mother that night was her mother's birthday and TOA chose to stay with BMI instead seeing how distressed she was toa's brother had called to tell her that their plan had

worked and tah was so delighted to hear the news be the me felt too stupid jumping into conclusions she apologized once again and TOA forgave her with a smile that was how T and BMI mended their broken friendship and slowly BMI began to rebuild her life again she found a new job reconnected with old friends and learned the bitter lesson that some gifts are better left unopened the lesson to be learned from this story is that the heart of man is wicked we should be careful of the people we let into our life and the

gifts that we accept from people as not all gifts are given with good intentions last but not least true love doesn't seek to control manipulate or break someone down rather it builds supports and heals I hope you enjoyed the story
