The Lost Room in the Hotel

In the heart of a bustling city filled with lights and sounds, there stood an old hotel called "The Twilight Hotel." This hotel was a famous historical landmark, having hosted guests for over a hundred years. But among its many floors and luxurious rooms, there was one room known as "The Lost Room," a room no one had entered for decades, shrouded in secrets and legends.

The Beginning: Arrival at the Hotel

On a rainy night, a young woman named "Layla" arrived at The Twilight Hotel after a long journey. Layla was a writer seeking inspiration for a new novel, and she had heard about the hotel's mysteries, so she decided to stay there. Upon her arrival, she noticed that the hotel had an old-world charm, with artistic artifacts hanging on the walls and luxurious carpets covering the floors. Yet, there was something mysterious in the air, something that piqued her curiosity.

While checking in, Layla asked the receptionist about the Lost Room. The receptionist looked uneasy and said, "No one enters that room; it's been closed for many years." But this only made Layla more determined to learn more.

The Story of the Lost Room

The receptionist began to tell Layla the story of the Lost Room. Fifty years ago, the room was known as "The Golden Room," the most luxurious room in the hotel. But one night, a young woman named "Maryam" disappeared after entering the room. No one ever found her, and her fate remained unknown. Since then, the room had been sealed off and forbidden to everyone.

There were rumors of strange sounds coming from the room and shadows moving behind its closed window. Some guests claimed to have felt a strange presence in the hallway leading to the room, making it a source of fear and curiosity.

Searching for the Truth

Layla decided to uncover the truth herself. In the middle of the night, she sneaked up to the upper floor where the Lost Room was located. The door was locked with a rusty lock, but Layla managed to open it using an old key she found in the reception desk drawer.

When she entered the room, she found herself in a place where time seemed to have stood still. The room was filled with old furniture and heavy curtains, with a thick layer of dust covering everything. On the table, Layla found an old diary belonging to Maryam, the woman who had disappeared.

Uncovering the Secrets

Layla began reading the diary, which revealed a sad story. Maryam was a young bride who had come to the hotel to celebrate her wedding, but she discovered that her fiancé was having an affair with another woman. On the night of her disappearance, Maryam decided to escape her painful reality. However, the diary did not explain how she disappeared or where she went.

As Layla flipped through the diary, she heard a faint sound coming from a large closet in the room. With a racing heart, she opened the closet and found a small box inside. Inside the box was a final letter written by Maryam before her disappearance, stating that she had decided to start a new life far away from everything she knew.

The End of the Mystery

Layla realized that Maryam had not mysteriously vanished but had chosen to leave her old life behind and start anew. Perhaps the Lost Room was simply a place for her to bid farewell to her past, not a place of horror as everyone had believed.

Layla decided to share her discovery with the hotel management. After an investigation, it was revealed that Maryam had left the hotel that day and started a new life in another city. The Lost Room was simply part of a human story about love, betrayal, and new beginnings.

The Conclusion

Layla learned that secrets are sometimes simpler than we imagine. The Lost Room was not a place of horror but a witness to a human story filled with pain and hope. The room became part of the hotel's history, where guests now visit to learn about Maryam's story and remember that life is full of secrets waiting to be discovered.
