It was Myra's first day at the hospital, and she was filled with excitement mixed with a tinge of nervousness. Her heart raced as she walked through the grand hospital doors. This wasn’t just any hospital—it was the place where Dr. Avik, the renowned surgeon, worked. Myra had heard stories about him, his brilliance, and his unshakable calm in the most intense situations. Today, she was stepping into his world. As his new assistant, she felt both nervous and eager to prove herself.
The morning began with a rush. Myra woke up early, her hands slightly trembling as she prepared a simple breakfast. A quick look in the mirror showed her well-prepared, but she couldn’t stop the butterflies in her stomach. “You can do this, Myra,” she whispered to herself, straightening her uniform. She wasn’t just here to learn—she was here to shine.
She reached the hospital with just enough time to spare. The atmosphere was electric, filled with doctors, nurses, and staff moving with purpose. As she walked towards the break room to meet her fellow assistants, she could feel the weight of the day ahead. But she wasn’t alone—today, she would be meeting others who, like her, were here to support Dr. Avik.
The break room door creaked open, and Myra stepped in to meet three other assistants. The room buzzed with conversations, but as soon as they saw Myra, they paused, giving her curious glances. Nisha, the oldest and most experienced of them, smiled warmly and reached out her hand.
“Hey, you must be Myra! Don’t worry, it’s normal to feel nervous. We’ve all been there.”
Myra smiled, feeling her nerves ease. “I just want to make a good impression,” she admitted.
Ria, a more reserved assistant, nodded, offering a quiet, “You’ll do fine.”
Anjali, who had a mischievous glint in her eyes, added with a playful smile, “If you can handle Dr. Avik’s serious face, you’ll fit right in.”
Myra’s eyes widened. “Is he really that strict?”
Nisha chuckled. “He’s intense, but if you stay focused, you’ll learn a lot. He’s brilliant.”
With a deep breath, Myra joined the others. The camaraderie was comforting, and as they chatted about their roles and the hospital’s busy routines, Myra started to feel a bit more at ease. The nerves that had gripped her seemed to loosen, replaced with a growing sense of excitement.
Soon, they were all heading toward their respective floors. As Myra walked down the hallway, her heart skipped a beat when she saw him—Dr. Avik. He was everything she had imagined—tall, sharp, and commanding. His presence filled the room, and the way he moved with such confidence made her almost forget how to breathe.
“Are you Myra?” His voice was deep and calm, yet there was something about it that made her stand up straighter.
“Yes, Dr. Avik,” she said quickly, trying to hide the nervousness in her voice.
He nodded and motioned for her to follow. “There’s a lot to do today. Let’s get started.”
As Myra followed him through the hospital, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe. Every step she took with Dr. Avik felt like a step toward something bigger than herself. The hospital felt like a world on its own, and Avik was at its center.
“Stay focused,” he said without looking back. “This isn’t an easy job. You need to keep up.”
Myra’s heart raced, but she nodded, her resolve firming up. “Yes, Dr. Avik.”
And so, the day began. Myra’s mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. She was here, in the heart of the hospital, working alongside the man who was as much a legend as he was a mystery. Little did she know, this first day would mark the beginning of a journey that would challenge everything she thought she knew about herself—and about him.
The day had barely started, but Myra already felt like she had been thrown into the deep end. Dr. Avik moved with the precision and speed of someone who had done this a thousand times, and Myra found herself trying to keep pace. His steps were quick, purposeful, as he headed towards the operation theater, and she rushed behind him, trying not to trip over her own feet.
“You must always stay alert,” Dr. Avik’s voice rang in her ears, deep and firm. “In this profession, there’s no room for mistakes.”
Myra nodded, trying to take in every word. She had always dreamed of becoming part of something big, but now that she was here, in this fast-paced, high-pressure environment, it was harder than she thought. Her mind raced as she tried to keep up with him, glancing at the medical files in her hand.
Avik was already inside the operation theater, preparing for a major surgery. Myra stood outside for a moment, taking a deep breath before entering. Her heart was pounding as she stepped inside, the sterile smell of antiseptic filling her senses. The bright lights of the operating room felt overwhelming, and she could see the team of doctors and nurses moving with swift, practiced efficiency.
“Hand me the scalpel,” Avik said sharply, his gaze never leaving the patient.
Myra’s heart skipped a beat. This was it. The moment she had dreamed of—being part of a life-saving procedure, working alongside Dr. Avik. She quickly handed him the instrument, feeling a rush of both fear and excitement.
The surgery went on, and Myra did her best to stay out of the way while still being helpful. She passed instruments, made notes, and observed the way Avik handled the most complicated situations with such calmness. He was in control—always. There was something almost magnetic about him, the way he took charge, commanding respect with his silent authority.
As the surgery continued, Myra felt a mix of awe and admiration. She had heard of doctors being skilled, but Dr. Avik was a different kind of genius. His every move was precise, calculated, and his focus never wavered. He was the kind of person who made you want to push your limits, be better, and work harder.
Once the surgery was over and the patient was stable, Myra followed him back to his office. She was overwhelmed, but also inspired. She had seen Dr. Avik in action, and it made her realize that there was so much more to learn.
“Good work today,” Avik said, surprising her. “But remember, you’ll need to be faster if you want to keep up.”
Myra smiled, grateful for the compliment, though she knew she had a long way to go. “Thank you, Dr. Avik. I’ll do my best.”
As she left the operating room and returned to the staff lounge to take a quick break, Myra couldn’t stop thinking about the day. The fast-paced hospital life, the tension in the air, and most of all, Dr. Avik—his focus, his quiet authority, and the way he made everything look so effortless.
Little did she know, this was just the beginning of a journey that would push her to her limits—and change everything she thought she knew about herself and the people around her.
The days blurred together for Myra. Each one was a whirlwind of activity, learning, and trying to keep up with the overwhelming demands of the hospital. She spent her mornings assisting in surgeries, afternoons running errands, and evenings preparing notes and reports. There was little time to breathe, but somehow, it felt like everything was moving in the right direction.
As the days passed, Myra found herself watching Dr. Avik more closely. There was something about him—something mysterious—that tugged at her curiosity. She admired his skills, yes, but there was something more. A sense of command, of control. He seemed untouchable, and that made her both nervous and drawn to him.
One afternoon, while passing through the hospital corridors, Myra overheard a conversation between Avik and a couple of senior doctors. They were talking about a complicated patient—an influential businessman who had been admitted for surgery. The conversation was casual at first, but then Myra heard Avik’s voice grow serious.
“He’s too dangerous to keep alive,” Avik said, his voice low but clear. “If we don’t handle this delicately, it could cause problems.”
Myra froze. The words struck her like a punch to the gut. She didn’t know who the businessman was, but the tone in Avik’s voice made her uneasy. It wasn’t the first time she had heard him talk like this. There was an underlying darkness in his words, something that hinted at a much deeper, more dangerous world beyond the sterile walls of the hospital.
Later that evening, Myra was in the break room, trying to gather her thoughts. The incident kept replaying in her mind. What did Avik mean by "too dangerous"? Was it something she should be concerned about?
She was snapped out of her thoughts when Nisha entered the room. She noticed Myra’s troubled expression and gave her a curious glance.
"Something on your mind?" Nisha asked, sitting down beside her.
Myra hesitated. She wanted to speak, but the weight of her doubts about Dr. Avik made her unsure.
“I... I overheard Dr. Avik talking about a patient today. He seemed... different. Like he was discussing something more than just a surgery.”
Nisha’s expression changed. "You're starting to see it too, huh?"
Myra looked at her, confusion written on her face. “See what?”
"The side of him that's not just a doctor," Nisha explained, her voice quieter now. "Dr. Avik is brilliant, but he’s not always a man of principles. He’s done things... things that make people nervous."
Myra's heart raced. “What do you mean?”
Nisha sighed, glancing around to make sure no one else was listening. "Let’s just say, sometimes people end up in his operating room for reasons beyond their health. Businessmen, criminals... If they're a problem, well, Dr. Avik has a way of solving things. Quietly. Efficiently."
Myra’s stomach churned. This was not what she had expected when she signed up to be part of the hospital. She knew there was a side to people—doctors included—that you couldn’t always see, but this was different. This felt... wrong.
Before she could process what Nisha had said, Avik entered the break room, his usual composed self. Myra’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned her attention to the coffee machine, trying to act normal.
Avik gave a small nod as he walked past, as though nothing had happened. "Take the patient files to my office, Myra," he said calmly, not even glancing at her.
Myra nodded quickly, trying to swallow the unease that had settled in her chest. She couldn’t shake the thought of what Nisha had said. The tension in the air was palpable, and though she was still drawn to him, something about Dr. Avik now seemed... darker.
As Myra walked down the hallway to Avik’s office, her thoughts raced. How much of Dr. Avik was real? How much of him was controlled by something—or someone—else?
It was clear to Myra that her journey here was about more than just learning medicine. There was something tangled in the web of this hospital—something dangerous—and she was just starting to realize how deep it went.
