Mrs.X lives with her husband in a decent apartment in a metropolitan city. Everyday Mr.X left for work at an IT company. You know what it is to work at an IT company. Godzilla Pay, Teeny Weeny Sleep and most importantly, an Inflating Tummy!!
Mrs.X is on her own all day. A typical housewife and a proud possessor of two beautiful degrees, who loathes work and choses to sit at home and be a pretty homemaker.
She cooks, watches television, listens to radio, et al, yet boredom is part of her. There is no spice in her life. Same monotony all day!
Who can watch the idiot box all the time and listen to the same crap it spews all day! Poor Mrs.X!
She's fed up of this sick routine. The neighbors are no better. Gossip is their sensation! Who is dating who, who ditched who, who bitched about who, so on and so forth...
After too much carefull thought, she decides to work. She finds a job in the same company as her hubby's. Initially the DINK couple are as happy as ever because they get to travel together, work together and earn big money! Mrs.X is happy and gay for her long dwelt boredom has vanished!
Until that fatefull day of separation! Ahem... Shift Change!
Mr.X on day shift
Mrs.X on night shift
Mr.X leaves the threshold exactly at 8am every morning. Once upon a time his tummy suffered the damages of only one meal. Now, all day!
Mrs.X comes home at 10am every morning. Once a chubby looking, healthy wife, now looked like a malnourished zombie!
They hardly meet each other. The only days they meet are the weekends and it's just the best time for them to catch up with their lost sleep. Mrs. X has lost her peace of mind. Mr.X never had it in the first place!!
Wonder if they remember each other's faces!
What an amazing life anybody would crave for!!
But since they began to savour the arrival of the new comer ($$$) with a promising future, they don't give up. They look for investments. They crave for more and more and more money! They are constantly nudged by the $$$ Ghost!
Mrs and Mr X look older than they really are. Too much stress. Too much work. Too much planning. Too much greed and Too much of everything and NO KIDS!
This deadly routine persists and will do to eternity!
Is it necessary to plan for their future at the cost of their own life???
Someday, they will look back and wish they could live their lost life!
Think!!!
