I actually started writing this story over three years ago, and I STILL haven’t finished it…!!!
Reasons:
(i) It’s difficult to find the time to sit down and write.
(ii) I’m a virgin. I have no real-life experience of sexual intercourse.
I usually write my stories “backwards” or “from the outside inwards”…
i.e., I know how I want my story to end, and I know where I want my story to begin. So I usually begin with just the prologue and the epilogue, and sometimes I may even work out the epilogue first.
I work out the overall “structure” of the story, then add more “substance”/details.
Okay. So this particular story that I’m going to discuss here doesn’t really have much of a “plot”. But here’s the outline:
1. A young man and a young woman, who are initially just platonic friends, end up having a brief sexual relationship (lasts a few weeks, and they have sex just three times).
2. They then part ways, and never meet again.
3. The young woman ends up marrying another man, and for the first five years of her marriage, she is unable to engage in any kind of intimacy with her husband – neither emotional intimacy nor physical intimacy.
4. She then, by chance, attends a conference where her old lover happens to be delivering a presentation/speech. She sees him, hears that he is married to another woman, and therefore she chooses not to make any effort to meet with him. He does not see her, and is completely unaware that she is in attendance. Emotionally, she is thoroughly overwhelmed when she sees him again after all these years – she feels a mixture of tremendous joy, excitement, and a feeling of loss…
5. Just seeing her old lover married to another woman somehow provides her with a sense of “closure”, and she is finally able to let go of her “bittersweet memory”. When she returns home from the conference, she is finally able to “open up” to her husband.
6. Her husband loves her deeply, and now she loves him too, but she chooses not to tell him of the brief affair that she had before their marriage, forever keeping it secret, burying it deep within her heart. Her husband, who until now has felt deeply hurt by her rather distant behaviour, is at a loss to understand what has brought about the sudden change in her, nonetheless, he is just deeply grateful to “have her back”, and accepts her wholeheartedly without any questions.
When fully written, the bulk of the story is going to be about the relationship between the young man and the woman (before her marriage, i.e. point “1” in the list above). The other points I’ve mentioned will go into the prologue and the epilogue.
I feel that the best way to convey the overall "emotional tone" of the story is through music. I’d like diegetic music in the epilogue, where there will be a reference to “The Snow Prelude N. 15”. It’s a beautiful piece of music, very pleasant, yet has undertones of melancholy (at least, that’s my perception of it). I think it conveys the “mood” I want to leave the reader with. It sums up the overall “mood” of the story.
The characters:
Srivalli Sethuraman: She’s the central character of the story, in addition to being the female protagonist. She looks a little bit like this (second image - the one on the right - added on 25 Feb 2012):

Date of birth: 14 September 1978
Ethnicity: South Asian, from southern India.
Height: 5’3”
Occupation: Doctor, with an interest in clinical genetics
She’s a kind-hearted young woman, a rather shy, reserved, very timid and demure person by nature. She’s an observant Hindu.
There are two things in life she cares about: being a “good daughter” to her parents, and doing well academically.
Although she is not classically beautiful, she nevertheless possesses a raw sensuality, a kind of earthy sexiness.
Morally, religiously, culturally, she does not agree with pre-marital sex. She is sexually inexperienced, and has never been motivated to explore/express her own sexuality. When she meets Kary Montezinhos (the male protagonist of the story), everything changes.
Kary Montezinhos:
Date of birth: 29 June 1981
Ethnicity: Mixed: His father is Portugese, his mother from southern India. (Srivalli is initially unaware of his part-Indian heritage).
Height: 6’1”
Occupation: Doctor, with an interest in immunology and haematology
He’s an impetuous young man, who befriends Srivalli, and becomes one of the very few people that she grows to trust.

They are both doctors, and they work together. Initially, they do not get along, but quickly they do become good friends. Slowly, an unspoken romantic tension builds between them. Eventually, the romantic tension turns into sexual tension, and they end up having sex at least three times.
