Drop the X

“Hello **** I’ll call you back”, said he. She fumed not on the reason that he picked a wrong name. But the real worry was the name he took. The name was an indication that he still can’t forget his past. And does it also mean that he is still in touch with the past?
She did get the call back but it didn’t comfort her. She just couldn’t stop thinking about his X.
“You know she liked this place too and so we use to come here often,” said he some other day when they were having dinner at her favourite restaurant. “Oh Gawd! I’m never going to step in here again,” she took a pledge.
“Please don’t talk to me like that, my X use to do the same,” he complained when she told him to pick up the wet towel from the bed. She made a note of it and from next time, quietly placed the towel to dry without making a fuss.
“Why do you cook this so often, this was her favourite dish too?” he teasingly commented.
It continued unhappily thereafter...
“Don’t talk like X.”
“Don’t dress like X.”
“Don’t shop like X.”
“Don’t shout like X.”
“Don’t laugh like X.”
X became more than an alphabet and was misused frequently, until the day he said, “You look like X.”
Now, you can’t compete with your own looks, can you?
Right then, she decided to become the X. All because he refused to move to Y from X.
Lesson: Even if X-mas starts with X which means the long winter breaks. But X also stands for “ex” which can mean a break-up if you refuse to let go of it. And you’ll end up blaming the X again.
