Just the right time, right place, right question but a lousy answer

Just when I stepped out of the escalator
walking 5 metres away
came this indian girl
with her curly hair tied nicely in piggy-tail fashion
walking towards my direction
stopping in front of me
asking me if I know of a letter-box nearby
when both of us were in the middle of a shopping complex
face to face
I answered (in my head still a big blur)
Sorry I do not know
and there goes a beautiful romance
50 years of relationship
3 children
15 grand-kids
