“It was not a bad proposal after all” Deepa thought, looking at Vasanth. Vasanth seemed nervous. That was because after a long term crush on Deepa, he just had proposed her and was waiting for her reply while thinking about what are all went wrong from his planned proposal to the one that happened.
“Come on, you have faced much worse proposals”, she said herself and she couldn’t help remembering the worst one among them. At that time she was only 15 and was studying in a Kendriya Vidyalaya school in Delhi, it was interval time and she was sitting in the class completing an assignment. Suddenly something came and hit on her head. She fell down, her head stared bleeding and she lost her consciousness for some time. Then somebody poured water onto her face and she got back her consciousness. To her bewilderment, the thing that came and hit her was a stone covered in a love letter, written by a boy in her class, proposing her.
For a beautiful girl like her, there was no lack of admirers and she got varieties of proposals. But she never replied to them because she felt that most of those guys where selfish. She felt that all they were worried is about fulfilling their dreams and she was sure that they won’t give a damn about her dreams. All she wanted is a loving and understanding guy and all they wanted is a girl to make love to.
So, for her, all of them were real male chauvinists. But Vasanth was not one of them. He was genuine, smart, funny and well settled, a species of men which will be vanishing from the face of earth, very soon. So she was thinking seriously about the proposal.
For vasanth, it was his first proposal he has ever done. Because his love was not governed by Mermaid Theory of How I met your mother series, like you are desperate for a female companionship and if you are no way getting it, then even the world’s ugliest girl will look like a mermaid to you. He was never attracted to any women like this before mainly because of he found their some characteristics annoyed him.
To him, some of them never understood his joke unless and until it’s followed by “Just kidding”. Some showed bossy character, while being labelled as somebody's wife was ultimate aim for some. And some, well to put in words of Vasanth the computer engineer, was like a computer without processing unit. They had input unit output unit and a very good memory, but no processing unit. They never had their own opinions, blindly believed the input. And the reasons went on like that.
But Deepa was different. She had a character, she cared about others and being somebody’s wife was not her career ambition. Again putting in words of Vasanth, she had all the hardware and software system requirements he needed.
Finally Deepa broke her silence and said, “Yes”. Vasanth punched on the table because of overflowing happiness and the chapter of proposal has ended.
Actually this love and proposal should have been a specialized course of mathematics, too much of calculation and statistical analysis, then it would have been a subject most of the people will fail.
Still people say love is blind…Is it?.. Or is it just that their calculation goes wrong since most of the data provided during love are pseudo values.
