This post is about a Pen. (Yes, a pen!!)
Lets start by describing it first.
1) Its thin, metallic.
2) One of those twist-me-to-open types.
3) Its made by Cross.
It came into my possession as a gift. From one ex-lover to another. I do not remember the exact date or the occasion. It must have been on one of those Oxytocin induced rush that, that 'someone' decided to part with it.
It has been in my possession for about 5 years, give or take. And never once did I use it. It used to be safely hidden in my drawer. For a long period of time, precisely till about a week back, I thought this pen wouldn't write. So the last time I went back to my place, I got it along with me.
Why am I writing about it? Because it writes!! Woohoo!!
After all these years, I try to write with it and guess what! It responded. Well thats not the actual reason.
I found out something about it that made me sit and wonder.
On one of its sides, there is a logo etched. I might have seen this before, cannot recollect seeing it though. But the curious thing is that the Logo belongs to a company that my ex-beloved-pen-gifting-girlfriend finally started working for. What are the odds eh! The first time I heard about the company was from her.
Maybe it is just a coincidence. But this fate-believing irrational self refuses to let it be just a coincidence.
Maybe it was a message from the future. A warning. And I was too careless to look.
Well, thank you. I intend to use this from this day on.
