She looked beautiful in the bridal Saree he had chosen for her.
Back at his home, he smiled at the perfect fit of the Sherwani she had shopped for him.
"Congratulations!! He really is a lucky man," he texted before leaving for the venue.
"Wish you both a happy married life too," she messaged back.
Its the way my love story's gonna end. Gawd!! *heartache*
ReplyDeleteThough, lovely lines!
oh...that's sad...but nice twist...liked it :)
ReplyDeleteFriends, they are indispensable when it comes to shopping what might look good on us. They know us better than the mirror. :)

@ all
ReplyDeleteits interesting to see how the interpretation changes from person to person---that's what i like best about 55-fiction :)
each interpretation in turn makes a new story..would disclose the original idea behind this post at the end.
till then, please go right ahead and tell me how you interpret these 55 words :)
cheers!
Umm so they are bestfriends getting married....or just texting each other for the sake of fun and its thr own marriage....or they were lovers who had to marry diff people.
ReplyDeleteMade me think! I loved it!
That was something!!
ReplyDeleteWonderfully crafted :)
Well-said Pri. Different interpretations adds different flavours to it and one can read it in various ways like a prism. Enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeletenice twist as there are different interpretations.liked it a lot
ReplyDeleteAwww, this is so good...:)
ReplyDelete@ ritika
ReplyDeletewell, i dont know your story..but either ways, i hope it has a happy ending! :)
@ SUB
ReplyDeleteperspective, my friend perspective! :)
your interpretation is just one of the myriad shades this story can take...
@ blasphemous aesthete
ReplyDeletei was hoping someone would see the 'friendship' concept in this one :)
happy to know you did!
@ red handed
ReplyDeletewell, you said it all..and beautifully!
my mind did play along each of these ideas when i was writing this..and hence i was careful not to stick to any one emotion which would stereotype the relation :)
@ vyankatesh
ReplyDeletethanks..glad you liked it :)

Lovely. Couldn't think of a better written story in such few words.
ReplyDeleteHope it always remains fiction and not the truth of life for any of us.

@ nidhi
ReplyDeletethanks dear :)
but why does it always have to be taken in a bitter way?
the story can also go as two best friends, getting married to different people and happy for each other :)
thts the exact reason i was careful not to incorporate any kinda emotional overtune to it...
but then i guess, your intretation is the one more likely to be close to reality these days..
@ muhammad
ReplyDeletethanks..im glad you liked it :)
@ upasna
ReplyDeletejust saw this..thanks so much! :)
What a lovely sad story! made my heart ache!Loved the twist.
ReplyDelete*heartache* And yet, this must happen to SO many people. :/
ReplyDeleteSuperb! Simple, short, impactful!
ReplyDelete@ upasana
ReplyDeletethanks dear..and im really sorry if it triggered off a melancholic mood...
@ imperfect
ReplyDeletelike i said before, it need not be taken as a heart wrenching story..it could also be two best friends reminiscing over old times and wishing each other well, as they start off a new life with their respective spouses :)
@ shanky
ReplyDeletethankyou for the kind words :)
