The Heart Eaters

"So, who are the 'heart eaters'?" I asked.
"They are some beautiful glowing flowers. They enter inside our body and eat our heart and we die." Kumbha said.
I laughed at him.
"Oh, but why? How? Do they really exist?" I asked laughing.
"People say that they (heart eaters) were some people who betrayed their loved ones. So, the king cursed them and they turned into beautiful glowing flowers. And they still eat our heart. 'the thing that lures betray'." Kumbha said.
