Once upon a time, there was a house where an old lady and a girl lived. The girl was very pretty. Her name was Jasmine. The old lady was very cruel and evil. She never liked Jasmine. Jasmine was the one and only daughter she had, and she was also very old, so she was using her to do all the household work. There were many people who were obsessed with her beauty. But the old lady would not let her go anywhere with others.
One day, a man named David was new to the city. He was a police officer, and he lived near Jasmine's house. Jasmine was very kind. Jasmine and David slowly became good friends. Jasmine went out to cut wood every day. One day, the old lady saw Jasmine and David talking together. The old lady was very angry. She had told Jasmine not to talk to unknown people. After Jasmine came home, she saw that the old lady was very mad at her, and she asked, "What happened, mother? Why are you so mad?" At the time, the old lady said, "I saw you talking to a boy called David." Jasmine said, "Mother, but he is just a friend." The old lady said, "I warned you not to talk to boys." From that day on, she never talked to him.
One day, as David walked past Jasmine's house, he noticed her mother beating and scolding Jasmine inhumanely. He captured the video of that illegal act and immediately filed a case, leading to her mother's arrest. Jasmine was standing quietly and sadly. David went to her and said softly, "I'm sorry, Jasmine," placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I had to do this. I can't see you living a miserable life with your mom.” Jasmine managed a small smile. "It's okay. I'm sad, but I'm also relieved. Now, I can finally be free." With her mother behind bars, Jasmine found a new sense of freedom and happiness. She and David remained friends, exploring the world together without any restrictions. And so, Jasmine's story took a new turn, filled with hope, friendship, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
