‘I am in love, and he is simply perfect for me’. Smilingly, she dreamed of their life together.
A beep from the mobile broke her reverie.
Her smile froze as she saw the picture sent by a colleague on Whatsapp.
‘Ignorance indeed is bliss’, she thought to herself as a lone tear escaped her eye.

Oh sad:(
Good 55er, shilpa. I believe in this adage, Ignorance is bliss 🙂
October 22, 2013 10:03 pm|
True, ignorance is bliss, while it lasts. But when you know the reality, it hurts a lot! 😐
October 21, 2013 2:32 pm|
What exactly happened?
October 22, 2013 10:03 pm|

October 22, 2013 10:12 pm|

Ignorance is indeed bliss Shilpa! Why u weaving all sad stories BTW .. The dog story n now this broke my heart I tell yea! Maybe a indication of what prolific writer u are becoming 🙂
October 22, 2013 10:19 pm|

The man she was in love with loved someone else? I wonder what was in that photograph!
October 22, 2013 10:31 pm|
There are a lot of possibilities for the reader to imagine!! 😀
October 21, 2013 6:41 pm|
Nobody seems to have a clue about what was in the photograph. Are you making a counterpoint that ignorance is not bliss?
October 22, 2013 10:51 pm|
Obviously, there was something in the pic that made her realize that ignorance was bliss!! 🙂
October 21, 2013 7:21 pm|
A break up ?
A broken glass is considered lucky,though
October 22, 2013 10:54 pm|
Yess!!
October 21, 2013 8:04 pm|
Suspense is killing me. What was in that picture?
October 22, 2013 10:56 pm|
Something unpalatable, I believe 🙂

Sad! Wondering what the picture was… He with another girl, he in an accident…
October 22, 2013 11:26 pm|
Very imaginative, OM 🙂
October 22, 2013 6:42 pm|
So what’s the picture all about? Did he break up with her, did he drink poison?
Very nicely written 55er though 🙂
October 22, 2013 11:30 pm|
Drink poison… haha… you are so creative Anu!! Never thought about that 😀
October 22, 2013 8:05 pm|
How sad and heartbreaking. Just when she was so happy to be in love. Great 55 words♥
October 22, 2013 11:31 pm|
Agree… truly a sad situation to be in! Thanks Kathy 🙂
October 24, 2013 10:19 pm|
I think the colleague sent the picture of the guy in question as his boyfriend… my take on the story 🙂
December 11, 2014 10:44 am|
A possibility, close to what I thought 🙂
