A lake nymph curses every young man who steps into the lake in which her soul was crushed, and asks him one question: “Do you love me?”

And if the young man’s answer is yes, she takes him with her and does not see again, but if his answer is no, she torments him and continues to torment him and crushes the souls of all his loved ones, and delights in his groans forever.

One day a young man goes in the middle of the night and is enchanted by the mermaid, standing on the edge of the lake and wants to throw himself with it, but at the last moment his wife appears, he turns to her and answers her call, and here his eyes change color, and despite all that throws himself into the lake, his wife realizes that she is the nymph and begs She has to leave her husband and take her place.

Many years pass and there is a very beautiful girl whose wedding is approaching, and her future husband was a world champion in swimming, but his girl was not good at what he is a hero with, so he wanted to teach her to swim before their wedding, and while they were together at the edge of the pool and he was teaching her little by little, If his friend suddenly appears before him in the water and begins to joke with him.

He tells the girl that he and his friends have all arranged a dance party on the occasion of their marriage, they are very happy to hear this news, and his friend asks the young man to race together, the young man makes a mistake in this decision when he leaves his girlfriend and goes to race with his friend, as she makes a decision between herself and herself and dares to challenge her fear She leaves her hands and tries to swim, and the expected result is that she fails to balance herself and drowns in the water.

She breaks her silence, blaming him and reproaching him that he promised her not to leave her alone, and he made his promise to her and left her, and the result was that she was about to lose her whole life.

The young man goes to the party with his friends, but he feels bad because he is still angry with his future wife and his girlfriend, so he tries to call her many times, but she is far from the phone and she does not answer it; And the party was at the young man’s old house, which lies beside the cursed lake, the same lake in which his mother drowned.

Because of his sadness, the young man is isolated from all his friends, trying to communicate with his girlfriend, and when she does not answer him, he thinks that she is still angry with him, so he decides to take off his clothes and bathe in the lake. That girl was holding a comb and combing her hair, so she approached him, and because of her beauty, she bewitched him and made him kiss her, and then he fell to the ground, and the first thing he regained consciousness was asking about the beautiful girl and where she went?!

His close friend, who was terrified of his condition, approached him, as they had all spent many hours searching for him; He took up his clothes, and found combs, and took them with him also; The next day, his girl was checking on him and decided to wash his clothes, and she found the comb; Her girl had a very high fever, she gave him medicine and sat next to him, she was haunted by mortal nightmares showing signs all over his body.

She contacted the girl, the sister of her future husband, to reassure him. The girl told her that she suspected that there was a girl in her brother’s heart, but his sister reassured her and made her exclude all these thoughts and illusions from her head, and although she showed her the strange comb that she found in his clothes, his sister asked her to give up All these negative thoughts too.

As soon as the connection between them ends, the young man’s sister rushes to the pictures of her mother and father Qiddiya to make sure of something, and indeed she finds the same comb in the old photos, their father was the same young man who many years ago was a magician in the lake and her mother herself sacrificed herself in order to save him from the nymph and her curse.

After a few days, the young man will be his final championship, but the racing pigeon turns his condition into the lake and the ugly mermaid appears in front of him, drowning the young man, and his friends and coaches are barely able to save him from the inevitable drowning.

While receiving treatment in the hospital, the young man recounts everything that happened to him in the lake, and all the events that followed this strange incident in which a very beautiful girl appeared before him and he approached her and kissed her passionately, so I asked her whether he loved her or not?!

His girl gets angry with him for his confession of kissing another girl, so she turns away from him, and despite all his pain, he gets up and runs after her, so the girl hears a whisper in her ear saying: “He has become my property!”

She returns to her lover to find him trying to reach her, but there is someone stopping him, so she approaches him to offer him a helping hand, but the nymph has prevented them and closed the door, so the girl tries hard to open it, but fails to do so, so she screams for help from his sister and her husband. His sister’s husband, who is originally his close friend, comes and breaks The Door; During all these attempts, the young man had appeared to him the nymph and wanted to kill him, and as soon as they could open the door the young man was lying on the ground and seemed to be taking his last breath.

The girl, his sister and her husband took him to their father’s house, and there the father was sitting drawing a picture of his late wife about life. He refused to talk to them about what they came for. Suddenly the girl took out the comb and showed it in front of him. It happened to my son that happened to me more than twenty years ago. She came out of the lake and asked me: Do you love me?! Then I answered her saying no, and my misfortune was great, as she tortured me and all my loved ones, my son and daughter were young then, and in the end she took my wife from me.”

They did not benefit from anything, as he does not know a way for them to get rid of the curse and break it, and the young man was still suffering from nightmares while he was awake as well. The girl saw the need to go to the lake and return and search behind the lifeline; As soon as they arrived, the young man’s sister urged her husband to go down to the lake and search for any evidence to break the curse. Indeed, when he reached the bottom, he found an old cemetery, but before he could read what was on it, evil spirits gathered on him wanting to drown him in water, and he barely managed to escape from it. His wife sees her and saves him by sending a boat to him climb over it.

And when the girl goes to the young man her lover, she finds that the spirit of the mermaid of the lake has been possessed by him, and she was pulling him down, so the girl clings to him and saves him from her, and then she brings nails and closes the hole that the mermaid wanted to attract her lover to, and after this step they all manage to create an atmosphere of calm even for a while .

Meanwhile, the young man’s sister suggests leaving the whole place, but the girl strongly refuses and they have to stay and confront the nymph to save the young man from her pursuit of him.

The girl put the wooden comb that she had and that belonged to the nymph. She started the rituals, and if she saw the nymph in front of her, the nymph caught the girl and put her head in the water, and in these moments the girl saw the tragic story that the nymph had suffered. The nymph was a very beautiful girl who fell in love with a young man. She waits for him every day to propose to her, but he always deceives her and does not believe her words.

One day, this innocent girl was surprised by the marriage of the one she truly loved to another girl, and she did not know herself except that she killed him and her in the midst of their wedding ceremony, and then jumped into the lake and drowned in it, and then became a nymph eager to rob the souls of all men.

It was a nightmare for any man who went into the lake, especially near my young father’s house.

At this moment, the mermaid wanted to seize the soul of the young man and drown him in the water, but the girl managed to save him from her, and she realized something very important, which is that the true strength of the mermaid lies in her hair!

The girl, while trying to save the young man, had grabbed the mermaid by her hair, and at this moment the mermaid was in pain very badly, so she understood what she understood, but the competition was completely unequal, so she grabbed the young man’s hand and took him out of his parents’ house, and outside the house they found his sister looking for her husband, the three of them came back They went inside the house to search for him, and there they were surprised that he was controlled by the evil nymph, as she appeared to him and asked him: “Do you love me?!”

He replied with tears running from his eyes: “Yes, I love you.” He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of her, so she drowned him in water!

And when they entered the house, they found him drowned and dead, and immediately they went to the car and got in it, but it broke down for them, unfortunately for them, and it rained in the forest and the weather became very frightening; Meanwhile, the evil nymph appeared before them, wanting to take revenge on them all. They dismounted from Sarah, except for the girl who searched for scissors and was able to find them.

The nymph had taken the young man and wanted to drown him in the water, but the girl jumped into the water with the scissors in her hand and asked her to take her instead. Everyone is just a legend from the past.

The girl almost drowned because she could not swim, so the young man swam towards her as fast as he could and was able to save her from an inevitable death.

At this moment the father of the young man came, and he had the answer when the girl, his son’s lover, told him what had happened to them, so he took out a match from his pocket and set the mermaid’s hair and comb on fire as well.

The young man trained and managed to win the championship, and married the girl in a very huge wedding ceremony. She was the lifeline for him, and he realized even before marrying her that she was the perfect girl for him, and that he would not find someone like her even if he searched in the east and west of the earth.
