Synopsis of my (yet unpublished) second novel - 'Closure'.

Closure is a story about three intertwined lives – a wife, a husband and a woman from the husband’s past – told entirely through email conversations.

Closure is the 'Pati, Patni aur Woh' conflict brought online.

A married man – Abhishek – writes to his school and college romance – Jyotsna – after nine long years. Abhishek writes with an intent to seek forgiveness and closure after their relationship had ended on a sour note. During conversations with Jyotsna, Abhishek discovers Jyotsna has become averse to the idea of marriage, has changed quite a bit from how he knew her and it would be difficult getting the kind of closure he wants with this enlightened and feisty version of her.

Abhishek and his wife – Kavitha – are going through a difficult time in their marriage. Kavitha decides to start communicating with Abhishek through email to avoid friction. To get their relationship on track and build the intimacy in their marriage, Kavitha also proposes to play a game (through emails) with Abhishek which explores if two strangers can fall in love by asking each other a series of 36 personal questions. Abhishek reluctantly agrees to the ’36 questions’ game and makes the effort to bring sanity to his marriage.

Jyotsna is having a hard time trying to figure out how to deal with Abhishek coming back into her life, if he has any role to play in her life at all or if she has any role to play in his – especially since Abhishek was someone who she loved with all her heart and was deeply impacted when he walked away.

While Kavitha is trying to revive her faltering marriage with Abhishek, and Abhishek is trying to seek closure from Jyotsna, Kavitha comes across and reads the entire correspondence between Abhishek and Jyotsna. Abhishek hadn’t been forthcoming about his past relationships and it comes as a shocker to Kavitha that someone like a Jyotsna existed in Abhishek’s life. Kavitha believes her marriage is in trouble and decides to do whatever she can to save her faltering marriage.

Closure takes the reader through the joys of love and deep relationships to the low of heartbreaks and misunderstandings while unveiling what Abhishek has to go through to get closure, what Kavitha needs to do to save her marriage and how Jyotsna handles a man who broke her heart coming back into her life.
