That wasn’t Easy - A tale of Proposal


Instances create history but moments make our life

Never was I so desperate for that moment to come, yes I was trying to say this for over six months now.

But believe me “I love you” is not an easy thing to say especially to someone who you cynically adore to extent of devotion.

She was there in front of me and I was running out of words, phrases and ideas to express what I have been rehearsing all night.

“You know, this evening reminds me of someone”  A sudden flow of words from her mouth dragged me out of my thoughtlessness into a rather baffling state.

Who can it be? Or he be? or they be? May be??

‘Ask her you fool!!’ The Wise Me reminded the Foolish Me

“Whom do you recall, O beholder of a beautiful face?”  I can’t believe I just said that! The Wise Me slapped the Stupid Me at least a thousand times.

“What don’t flatter me” as she responded with a hint of smile and took her hair strand behind her ears, the Stupid Me face turned content and the so called Wise Me went blank. I think this internal conflict posted some unreadable expressions on my face.

“What happened to you” before I lose my ground and forget everything in the world including the reason why I am having this conversation I opened my mouth but the Wise Me shouted ‘Not so Fast you idiot, take your time and let it sink’

Now this act of “Smart” Me left my mouth half open, and this was not a very charming expression again.

“Are you all right?” she said

“No, I want to Sink” a disbelieve on what I said was evident and Mr Wise was furious again ‘What are you saying O beholder of a Stupid face’

What are you saying?” when she said that, it was a do or die situation for me.

“Yes I want to sink, sink in the ocean of love, true love… your love” these words just flew from my mouth but the intelligent mind was still not happy

‘Do not sound like a boring poet you fool! say something wise, intelligent and impress her’

And then I said “don’t judge the veracity of my idiom and consider it my idiocy” I actually said that! Of all sentences framed in English language to impress a girl, this was definitely the worst of all, this was told to me by none other than the “UnWise” Me

Now I went down on my knees something which I should have done much earlier

“Look there is a fight going in my head and they are both asking me to do a very important thing but in opposite manner”


“What?? I don’t understand” she said but at the tiniest fraction of a second could see a hidden smile behind that rough look, this was my moment



“My princess I don’t care what these two say after this, at this moment I don’t want to know what you will think of me, you will reject me or Kiss me, but all I want to tell you is that I have so much love to give you that you will never find any reason to come out of it”

… and rest as they say is History.

You All right?

  I had time, just enough to finish the document and get into the status call. The customer was keen to be informed about latest progress ...
