The Closure

Aarti slid back and started staring out the window. It was not the first time she was getting married, but this time she was making the decision after a long haul of struggle.


Sahil: “I have no intention of being physical with you again, but this can be an accord of providing for each other as companions so that you can realize the aspects of your life that you deserve.”


Rishabh: “Maybe I needed her to go away from me before I could realize her importance. God! I miss her.”


Ansh: “You’re evil and the worst person, I’ve ever met. I’d like to think that you’re probably dead now A.. A..Ar… Aarti…”


It’s not a midlife, neither is it  an existential, nor an identity crisis, but just a need, an urge deep-found in human wishes: an appeal for closure. That’s what the journey of Aarti is all about, from being a happily invested mother-cum-housewife to a fulfilled, self-aware human being.
