Author's POV
An apartment room, walls painted all white, with dark gray curtains. Lights are all off. It smells like ashes and fire. The desk is there, which has only medical books, and a few sheets in which notes are written. Ciggerate box is kept along with lighter on the other side. Book shelf is there too, having only dark horror novels, some self improvement guides, and some files associated with patients. The dumbells ae also kept, and the wall has a perfect workout as well as study routine. The man is clearly made out of discipline and power, and believes in self improvement but likes to burn himself up too. In the corner, a guitar is present, perfectly contrasting with the overall interior of the room. Now, on the bed, a man is laying completely lifelessly on bed, his mouth having a ciggerate and his one hand holding his wallet. In the wallet is the polaroid picture of a beautiful woman. The more he looks at the picture, the more his eyes waters and the more his breathes shorten. Dr Aarav, who is the epitome of self improvement is again crying over the woman present in his wallet.
Aarav's POV
You were my jibon (life) and yet you chose to break me in a way I cannot rebuild myself. Sometimes I really question god, on what I did to deserve a life llike this? Whtever that was important to me, I lost. What is the point of this life? Am I truly here just to suffer??Why do I constantly have to go through the same situation of self pity? Why cannot I forget everything that happened and grow from it? I am still at the sme page, same pathetic self. This is why I keep myself busy all the time.. I act tough on the surface (sucking in the ciggerate once more, exhaling smoke) but deep down I am just a boy who wants to be loved too. I deserved better than this...

Author's POV
Next morning, he woke up, and his head was paining.
He just washed his face and got ready for the day. He had just a cup of his usual black coffee, and his protein rich breakfast of eggs and boiled brocoli. He was sitting alone on his dining table, looking at his new stoic novel he got himself few days ago but couldn't get time to read. But this is a thing about Dr Aarav, he always ends up making time for things he actually loves, whether his gym or his readings. For him, self improvement is the key. Heartbreaks often lead to better positioning. But void can't be filled, so he smokes and drinks.
He takes his car keys, but his eyes falls on the small statue of lord kanha on the shelf in hall, which his mom gifted him.
"Krishna shob kichu dekhe." (Krishna sees everything.) His mom said while gifting him this. Although he thinks his prayers wont be heard ever, maybe because he doesn't deserve it, still he smiles and joins his hands, his lips moving for a small prayer.
He leaves his house and reaches his hospital garage, where he was parking his car.
There he saw a purple colored car, and a girl holding her phone with snapchat on it, with her recording on.
"Hello my darlings!!! SOOOOO here is your girl back!!! Yeaaa!!! Guess where is she? No points for guessing, at the govt college for my internship."
She walks towarrds the lift, and aarav was just watching her actions. He then walked toward the lift, and it was closing. He rushed but the door closed. He stood, sighing, but the door opened again. The same girl standing, smiled brightly at him. Aarav gave no reaction and went inside. She just sighed.
The whole lift was so quiet, but the girl couldn't help herself.
She started speaking
"Good morning!! I am an intern at this hospital, new intern. My name is Dr Isha Roy, for the neurology department. Who are you? Are you a junior?"Aarav looked at her, surprised
Isha- U cannot speak? No problem. I guess you are a junior. Don't worry I won't ask you to do my assignments. I mean we dont get hot juniors easily, do we?
aarav looked at her again, this time in disbelief.
Isha- I am a good senior, dont worry. A cutie pie one hehe
they then reached the floor, and aarav just sighed, whispering to himself, thank god.
She walked, more like danced and jumped, greeting the staff who was cleaning the floor. The staff also smiled, greetign her back. But the smile on the staffs face faded once e sw dr aarav behind the girl. The girl walked more and reached the head's office.
cheif- Welcome, dr isha. We ar glad to have you here
Isha with her high energy- I am glad to work with you!!!!!!
cheif smiled, and took her to the common room of neurology department. There 6 people were present, all were damn quiet, and the same person whom she met on the lift was standing too. It looked like they were being scolded by him over a diagnosis and a task which they were given.
Cheif- sorry to interrupt you all. But I have a new memver here.
they looked at him, and behind him was a girl, her face covered with the smile like a sun.
Isha's eyes, when fell on the same man, couldn't stop
isha- yoooo!!!
(she ws overjoyed, and the rest were shocked)
she just ran to the doctor, and patted his shoulder playfully. 'We met again!!'
all of the people were shit scared, becausee nobody dared to touvh dr arav. But there was this girl, who was patting his shoulder
The cheif too ws shocked at this, because he was as well scared of Aarav.
Cheif- Isha, you know him?
Isha (smilin) yesss!! We met on the lift'
Cheif- great that you know your professor. you will be working with him, you are a duo now
with the word professor, Isha's smile disappeared for a while.
She remembered all the things she told him and her touchy behavior. The cheif went.
Dr Aarav- Y'all set to work, and this time u all must not dare to mess anything up, or I will fail you.
they went. Issha was standing still, and Aarav's eyes fell on her
Isha- Hey.. um..
aarav- (smirking) Anythign u wanna say to your hot junior?
Isha- umm sorry sir... I wasn't aware..
Aarav- Ishaa...Isha Isha!! If you want to work here I wanna say few things which you need to know-Dont' touch me.
Don't do anything else apart from work and don't try to cross the boundaries between us
And dont talk to me other than work
Saying this he went out
but he came in, and siad
Aarav_ come with me now since we have to look at new patients.
Isha tok a deep breathe and said, "I am fucked"
