An older but young-looking professor at a major Sri Lankan university marries, at the age of sixty-seven, a young lady just twenty years old. He suddenly falls in love with her after resisting the temptation for over five years following his wife’s sudden death from a heart attack. Following their marriage, he goes to Japan with her on a two-year sabbatical. There he meets his old friend, Akirasan, another professor who is younger than he. His wife has a relationship with him, purely for sex purposes at first, but gradually she gets attached to him. The professor becomes aware of their relationship and does not object or show any opposition. He likes Akirasan as a good friend. He, too, eventually falls in with a Korean/Japanese woman and learns a lot about life, love, and sex. He loved his wife with no reservations. He wanted to prove at some stage what he is capable of sexually. He was waiting for the right time. It is to be noted that both of the professor and his wife do not discuss things face to face. Eventually, they start to communicate through the diaries they both maintain. They both read each other’s diaries on a regular basis, but they pretend they knew nothing about the existence of the diaries, even whilst learning a lot about their spouse’s feelings, emotions, opinions, and ideas.
