                                          THE "RING" OF SUFFE"RING"

Sachin and Anjali were never so happy before. In such a short span of a month, from passionate lovers, they have become a married couple, against everybody else’s will .  They are off to Shimla and really very excited about their honeymoon.

Anjali never thought her honeymoon would be so ominous. The local policeman tries to pacify her but she couldn’t believe her husband is missing mysteriously.  She handovers the wedding ring and their photograph for identification and the search begins. After a month, phone rings, “We’ve found him!” Thanking God, she leaves for the police station.
 
Anjali rushes into police station to meet her husband, missing from a month. Surprisingly, they inform her,  ” He has been found dead in the records two months ago and shockingly enough, we’ve received a similar complaint from another lady, today morning, with the same photograph and similar ring” Awe-struck by seeing this, she faints.
