As a consequence, Nada never recovered from her condemned love and died. Since then, all young girls from Vrnjaka Banja who wanted to protect their own love stories started writing down their names, together with the names of their loved ones, on padlocks and fastening them to the railings of the bridge where Nada and Relja used to meet.
