It was well within his reach. He was tempted to pick it. But looked away the next instant.
A small voice grew loud in his head and in a split of a second invaded it.
He stretched his hand and grabbed it hungrily. With a touch of fingertip, he hurriedly though systematically went about accomplishing his mission.
So engrossed he was that he didn’t hear the bathroom door open. Their eyes met. Hers flashed with anger, his with embarrassment.
With head in his hands and eyes shut tight, he realized trust, like the soul, never returns once it is gone.

The post carried an invaluable lesson on trust and no matter how small something is, we shouldn’t abuse the trust placed on us. Rightly put, Shilpa:)
True, trust once lost is lost forever.
Ouch! Temptation can be a bad thing especially in marriage! Great post!
Very!! Thanks Danny, good to see you back here! 🙂
True Shilpa, even the smallest of things can dent the trust in a relationship and it just isn’t the same again…
True. Trust can be gained once and lost once. Once lost, it’s lost forever.
There is a saying trust is greater than love… in relationships its the trust that keeps the persons together..well said.
Well said. Trust is a great binding agent in relationships!
It takes years to gain trust and a millisecond to break ..
Bikram’s
Oh yes, you break it once and it is lost forever! All the efforts of years go down the drain in a millisecond, as you said!
So very true. Once trust is lost, it is nearly impossible to ever get back.
True. Like they say, trust is like a paper once it’s crumpled it can’t be perfect again.
Short but too crisp in content… the word “Trust” has a heavy responsibility to shoulder.
Oh yes, it is a BIG responsibility!
If trust is powerful like a rock at the same time delicate like a flower…in relationships it should be taken special care of!
You are spot on with that, Sheela!
Trust is very important. It is important in all relationships especially in marital relations

Oh no! What did he do???
So very true. Trust once lost is lost forever.
So true, trust can seldom be rebuild
Library in the loo? ‘Kindle’ to fondle?. Whatever it is, it sure has broken hearts. Wish he had locked the bathroom door.
Did he invade her privacy by reading her personal messages/chats in her mobile phone?
Trust is very fragile.
Nice image.
It was wrong of him. Once trust is lost it cannot be gained back. Good story
He must have pried into her cell-phone. But hadn’t she kept her phone locked with a password or so? but the damage is already done.

Hmm..trust when lost, is never regained. Impactful message.
Trust is a delicate fabric and tears very easily. But wondering what was he upto
Trust is one of the most strongest aspect of relationship. Once it’s lost it can never be gain back. Even if it’s does, it will never be like the early tust. Remember they said “once bitten twice shy.”
It was wrong of him. Once trust is lost it cannot be gained back. Good story
