The Legend of Rose

Once upon a time, in a faraway village, there was a


maiden named Rosa. Rosa was known for her unique
beauty and rosy cheeks. Because of this, many men
were attracted with her. One day, when Rosa returned
home, she saw Antonio, one of her suitors, talking to
her parents. Good afternoon, Mang Jose and Aling
Maria,” greeted Antonio. “I would like to ask for your
permission to court Rosa.”
Mang Jose smiled and replied, “Antonio, you are the
first to bravely ask to court Rosa. We are happy to
allow you, but you need to prove yourself and make
our daughter happy.”

Antonio diligently served Rosa’s family. He


wholeheartedly attended to them and brought gifts.
With each passing day, Rosa grew fonder of Antonio.
One evening, Rosa spoke to Antonio under the
moonlight.
“Antonio,” said Rosa, “thank you for everything you
do. I am slowly getting to know your true self.”

Antonio smiled and replied, “Rosa, I will do anything


for you.”
But one day, on the day Rosa was supposed to
answer her suitor, Antonio did not arrive. Worried, she
looked for him in their village and overheard Antonio
talking to his friends.

Do you really think I’m serious about Rosa?” laughed


Antonio. “I’m just playing with her!”
It felt as if Rosa’s world collapsed. Her heart broke at
her first love. Crying, she went home. “Rosa, what
happened?” asked her parents. But Rosa did not
answer. The next day, Rosa was nowhere to be found.
Days passed, and she remained missing.

One day, it was reported that a strange plant had


grown in the place where Rosa and Antonio were
supposed to meet. The flower had red petals
resembling Rosa’s cheeks but was surrounded by
thorny stems. They called it “rose.”
People said that the thorns of the rose serve as a
reminder that beauty cannot be attained without pain.
