Few Inches

 

Being a seeker for true love I had already fallen in love a few times, I did confess my feeling to some, and some reciprocated to it eventually, although nothing lasted long. Albeit, no one ever proposed to me without me taking any initiation until I met Sid. We found each other through Facebook, and over a few years we moved from being strangers to close friends & one day she casually proposed I marry her.

So the only girl to ever propose to me was Sid. She reminded me of Riya Somani from Half Girlfriend; a tall beautiful basketball player & her eyes were out of this world, she would be the one I would consider out of my league yet one of the nicest people I ever met. This should have been considered a lucky draw for me but fate had other plans, I was put in a position to reject the only proposal I ever got in my life from a person I really admired. Even our personalities were in the perfect sink. But fate, that’s how unpredictable it is. It didn’t bring unavoidable odds or troubles nor oppositions, everything was perfect except it divided us by a few inches. She was almost 10 cm taller than me, which she didn’t mind but I did, She even said it's not a wrestling match or athletic competition, it's just marriage and height is just a number, but my ego couldn’t let that slide. Thus two people who seemed perfect for each other were deemed imperfect cause of a few inches. Anyway, I am sure I’ll never forget her, she’ll always be remembered as the only girl to ever propose to me.
